Patch 3.0.8

Drama, Chaos!

As everyone noticed, with the come of 3.0.8, many bugs were fixed, but more were created.

Blizzard did not mention a few new features in their patchnotes, thus releasing it without being tested by the players, resulting in releasing a completely buggy patch.

Most of these bugs are serverside and are being hotfixed right now, or will be in a few days.

Let's have a quick look at the list of the bugs 3.0.8 introduced!



-Blizzard promised that they will make us able to create a Deathknight on any server if we have atleast one level 55+ character, on any server.

- [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] reported that this feature is not avaible yet, but they're working on it.

-The warlock pets' HP should have been buffed, but on live, they only got +1 HP! It was working perfect on the PTR, but this is screwed on live realms.

-Obliterate and Empowered Rune Weapon generates 0 RP.-This was hotfixed, though it only works for "some" players

-Winning a Wintergrasps battle crashes the server, resetting the Wintergrasps. Blizzard has disabled battles.-A solution has been found for [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] and US servers have already been hotfixed.

-By a mistake, the Warlock's Ritual of Summoning got a 2 minute cooldown.-Originally the warlocks got a mass summoning spell, which was used to exploiting, which got a 2 minute cooldown, later removed, but the Rital of Summoning has shared cooldown with it.
Yet one of the worst is this:



The new Arena matchmaking system:

The system uses an invisible rating which is decided by "skill" rather than the team's rating.
Nobody has spoken about this, so there wasn't anyone who would've tested it. I guess you can draw the conclusion, it's bugged! Originally, it was intended to help the "high skilled" players to reach their position on the ladder faster, so a freshly created team shouldn't suffer that much playing with them on ~1500 rating. Basically it gives more rating to the skilled players.
The system needs about 9-10 matches to decide where they belong. Blizzard said that it's not working as intended and [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] have been removed while this situation is not solved.


There are many bugs which I haven't listed, those are minor items bugs or so.
Everyone agrees that the situation is not the best, but Blizzard is working on full-speed to fix them and hopefully in a few days, everything will be fine.

EDIT: Most of the bugs have been fixed by now, so don't complain about "false information" in the topic

A dark day this was, indeed.
