Blizzard has expanded the list of bugs in WoW Classic that aren’t bugs but are reported nonetheless. This time, some curious features are included that can provoke astonishment.
The following bugs have been reported: For some time now, Blizzard has been maintaining a list of bugs in WoW Classic that aren’t actually bugs. Players report circumstances they consider incorrect, which indeed were the case in WoW Classic. Nine new “bugs” have been added with an update from September 27:
- Shield hand attacks triggered by the next weapon swing incur no dual-wielding penalty.
- Eternal Quintessences are not yet available and will come in a later phase of Classic.
- Stuns from proc effects are not reduced by other stun effects and do not cause diminishing returns.
- Many plans and recipes from the Thorium Brotherhood appear only in later phases.
- Training dummies in Undercity cannot be attacked. There were no such dummies in Classic.
- Triggers of “Overwhelm” are lost when the warrior switches targets.
- The Eye of Shadow has a significantly higher drop rate than many players think.
- The objective of the quest “The Touch of Zanzil” is not correctly completed when players lie down without having Doc Mixilpixil targeted.
- A summoned infernal that is no longer controlled by the warlock only attacks enemies in PvP or those on its threat table. If no targets are in range, it disappears.
This is not the first time the list needs to be expanded. Already with the first update, players actively used the reporting function and added 3 bugs that aren’t bugs to the list.
Where does the astonishment come from?
This concerns the players: Particularly two things from the list continue to occupy the players. The first is the training dummies, as many players likely know them from pirate servers. However, they truly never existed in Classic.
Players used the dummies on the other servers to easily train their weapon skills. In World of Warcraft, these only appeared between The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King. However, they could not be used to increase weapon skills. This was only accomplished with specific abilities on certain dummies.
The second point concerns the shield hand attacks. Players considered this a bug because it seemed too strong to many. However, the fact that these attacks actually receive no penalty and thus are less likely to miss benefits many melee classes.
Did you know about the new “bugs” that aren’t actually bugs, or did you report them as well?
