Update list #116
Mechanics:
- Diminishing Returns timer is set to 17.5 seconds (previously 15). Blizzlike value is between randomly 15 and 20 seconds. We opted not to make the timer dynamic as it would introduce more randomness into PvP, which is conceptually undesirable.
- Implemented the Leeway mechanic. The range of melee attacks, melee spellcasting, and AoE spells increases when both you and your target are moving. For example, the AoE range for [Psychic Scream] will be +2 yards (8 base + 2 bonus = 10 yards).
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed the movement speed of pets when using [Eyes of the Beast].
- Fixed a bug where any hunter's channeled spell (e.g., [Eyes of the Beast]) could be interrupted at a random moment.
- Outside location checks for talent [Bestial Swiftness] is now performed correctly.
- Fixed a bug with the queue for 3x3 solo arena when a match couldn't start if there was only one healer and more than 6 DPS in the queue.
- When resetting cooldowns upon entering the arena, cooldowns on all spell categories are now also reset. This fixes a bug related to [Nature Swiftness] and invisible cooldowns.
- The number of players in the BG/arena queue now displays real numbers. Previously, it displayed players in the queue plus already summoned players waiting to enter the BG/arena.
- BG messages are now written in the client's language (or the selected localization through .lang) and not exclusively in English.
- Like/dislike for solo 3x3 arena no longer interrupts spells.
- Temporary summons no longer teleport to their owner if he too far away. This fixes an issue with the shaman totem's elemental teleporting.
- Released creatures from [Mind Control], when unable to attack the charmer, now attack the nearest enemy unit or return to their respawn point. Previously, after canceling MC, creatures simply remained in the same place.
- Warlock's demons now lose all buffs when another demon is summonned. This fixes a bug with auras not being removed from the demon upon entering the arena.
- Fixed a bug with displaying an incorrect player limit for dungeons.
Other:
- Battleground rotation will now occur at the beginning of every hour, regardless of server restarts. In case of a restart, the battleground sequence will be restored.
- Only WSG will now be active from 2 AM to 1 PM server time. It was previously active from 2 AM to 2 PM server time.
- Changes have been made to the incoming client packet limiter used to protect against DoS attacks. Players will receive "action not performed" spam less frequently during severe lag.
Moonwell x5:
- Patch 2.4.3 will be released on February 4th.
