Blizzard

xWith the release of Cataclysm Classic coming ever so closer, players are trying out the pre-patch content as they try to re-ignite the passion when they first booted up Cataclysm. Blizzard is actively working on ironing out the bugs, and issues so that the official launch greets the players as they traverse the new and torn-asunder Azeroth. 

Given how small the World of Warcraft Classic Team is, we can expect frequent hotfixes and updates to Cataclysm Classic so that the experience remains fun and balanced for everyone involved. Despite the massive success WoW Classic has achieved over the years, it seems the community is not as excited about Cataclysm as they were for the previous expansions. 

With that being said, we will review all of the hotfixes and changes that were added to the game so you can get a better understanding of what to expect should you want to try out the beta before WoW Cataclysm hits live servers on May 20, 2024.

General Hotfixes

  • Account-wide achievements that reward titles now grant them at an account level.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented players from receiving daily Random Battleground rewards.
  • Smoke Bomb will now properly cancel Stealth, Prowl, and Shadowmeld from enemy players.
  • Fixed an issue that would prevent Warden Stillwater from spawning during the “Lawn of the Dead” quest.
  • Fixed an issue where Death Knights in Blood Presence could be incorrectly, critically hit by all melee attacks.
  • Reduced the cost of all honor and arena gear from Wrath of the Lich King, to better match honor gain while at level 80 compared to level 85.

Warlock Hotfixes

  • The Warlock Demon Soul ability will now work with the Incubus pet.
  • Fixed an issue where Warlock Demonology pets were not properly updating from Mastery.
  • Fixed an issue with the incorrect tooltip on Demonic Pact. It should correctly read that it grants the Warlock 2% increased personal spell damage.

And that covers all of the hotfixes that were recently added. We will actively monitor for any further updates and changes to Cataclysm Classic. Make sure to give Archeology a try and test out the PvP changes to your favorite classes.
