Patch 3.0.8 hit today, as you all know, and with it came the typical bugs, crashes and needed hotfixes. I’ll start with the Death Knight related bugs and errors.

Death Knight creation is not so account wide, fix incoming.

{{[templatediaencoded]789745608.4f34c5a9d00a24.07748528[/templatediaencoded]}}

Don’t get too excited about Howling Blast just yet, the tooltip is an error!

{{[templatediaencoded]431512007.4f34c5a9d00b27.76661722[/templatediaencoded]}}

Wondering why you keep crashing in Northrend?

{{[templatediaencoded]168215895.4f34c5a9d00bb1.00255416[/templatediaencoded]}}

So how has 3.0.8 been for you so far? Worth the wait? You tanks liking Stoneskin Gargoyle? Spend a crap load on regemming and enchanting? (I did ;/ )

Spread the DK:

there are so many bugs right now! for one thing, obliterates now grants 0 rp atm. I’m just testing out the numbers for unholy vs blood and blood seems to be doing well with 2400 dps, unholy seems like it can still compete but I’ll have to see for myself.

Anyone notice our mount icons are bugged? The Archerus Steed has the epic warlock icon and the flying mount has the normal archerus icon.

Groh said:

Yeah Nayame, I thought the icon was different, but then I couldn’t remember what the other one looked like anymore so I didn’t think anything of it.

After seeing that not everyone got the “Death Knights on any realm” part, I am REALLY glad I’m one of the few/many who can. And yes, Nayame I thought so too, but I followed Groh. ;)

I’ve been defense capped for a while now, so the new enchant was only something I wished I had months ago when it would have actually mattered. It’s still a nice boost of defense, but I’d lose way too much parry to get rid of my swordshattering, so I’ll probably never use it.

I have to say that the wintergrasp bug was amusing. We kept the alliance from taking wintergrasp 7 times in a row before they finally got the idea and gave up.

yup the re-gemming and enchanting for more parry and stamina. I have so much extra defense with Stoneskin enchant that this might become pretty expensive :S

My guild has a channel called ‘Bookclub’ where people talk and the achievment Higher Learnong, they have when the books will respawn and ppl camping the different spawn locations.. anyway.. they were loving the crashes, becasue everytime it crashed, all the books respawned, lol. I got the last 4 books I needed as well and so did a lot of other people, so Im I guess good things can come out of bag things :P

EDIT: Ment to say the channel is Server wider, not just in my guild

The character creation is certainly working for me. It is confirmed that you CAN make Death Knights of the opposing faction on other realms even if your 55+ isn’t in that faction. Just made a Gnome Death Knight named Pissedmidget… Although I’m rethinking my decision here. :P

“I’d lose way too much parry to get rid of my swordshattering, so I’ll probably never use it.”

with SSG, you would gain around 3% total avoidance from the 25 def, not to mention the 2% stam boost and IBF increasing in potency based off def. it’s reason enough to at least try it out

Is anyone else having lag issues in instances after the patch? It wasn’t until after the rolling restarts that I started to have any issues. I was in CoS and as soon as the Northrend buff that grants shards popped up I dropped to about one frame in three seconds.

So the new patch (regarding creating DK) allows you to make a DK in anyother realm as long as you have a lvl 55 in any of the realms? Or do you need to have a lvl 55 on the realm you’re creating the DK in?

I had wicked lag after the post just to get that out of the way first.

Then I wanted to know why this patch even came out? I mean DK’s still have game debilitating bugs. Mostly I speak of course of the no two Unholy DK’s can group together. Not only that now we have even worse bugs! Obliterate comes to mind. So with a month of PTR testing how did these not get fixed? I mean I don’t want to be a dick about it. I just seriously want an answer of how these things got missed that is all.

Oh and did anyone else see their mount icons get reversed? Like my Death Charger now has the icon for the spell of the DK flying birdie guy (always forget the name lol) while the DK flying birdie guy has the icon for the Death Charger lol. I mean obviously not a huge problem (other than the whole force of habit to click on the icon for the bird and get stuck on my riding mount lol). Just curious if that happened to anyone else.

And as for the people asking about the creation of DK’s. You are now supposed to be able to make them on realms you DON’T have a lvl 55 character on as long as you have a level 55 character somewhere in the game on the same account. However it seems that some people are having problems doing so.

As far as the mount icon thing, it was intended.
I talked to a GM, they said it was an intended change. I’m thinking that they meant the horseshoe icon to be for the deathcharger from the start, but that no one ever bothered to report it as an issue.
If you think about it, why would the flying mount have a horseshoe for its icon? It has clawed feet, like all gryphons. The icon previously used for the deatcharger might seem a bit awkward as the flying mount’s icon, but at least it has horns. The horseshoe icon being used for the winged steed always was a bit of a “o_0″ for me, so the change makes sense to me.
