Unofficial Bug Reports / Changes for 5.0.4

[Makoes]

Seem to be hit with the high bounce-tastic latency issue thats effecting quite a few players...Tried the usual fixes, posted on the exsisting thread on the official forms about it...hope it gets fixed soon, I can bearly play wow atm its so bad (and usually its around 60 home/world...its bouncing between 1k-7k for both)

Hmmm yes mine has been quite laggy since the patch and I hardly ever get lag. :S

[Smyelmdar]

I don't know if this is a bug, or it's an issue that I'm the only one having, but there's two of my characters that I can't log in with. Whenever I try, my game just closes. No crash or nothing. Just closes.
Both of the characters are undead females around level 55, but I have another undead female at the same level, and I can log in on her without problems.
Oh and the ticket I made 5 hours ago hasn't got any response. It says there's 11 days and 7 hours wait time. Awesome.

So are lock pets supposed to still be really squishy? My hunter isn't that bad, but my demons have half my hp (Voidlord has a tiny bit more, but still pretty bad). I have to heal my dps demons all the time when I'm out running around. If I pull more than two adds, it seems I have to stop dpsing and heal my pet or it dies quickly. I know my lock doesn't have the best of gear, but stuff lower level than her is just tearing the pets apart. Is the HP a bug or is that intended? I seen the comments about squishy pets, but wasn't sure if it was ever addressed or not.

Northrend sometimes makes my game's FPS drop to 0 for a few milliseconds at random. This bug has been reported.

Going cross area borders (Duskwood to STV for example) with a 2 person mount results in the rider getting dismounted, occasionally DCed, and occasionally after DCing, they risk falling to their deaths. Screenshotted, reported, confirmed that it wasn't fixed in the latest restart.

So many former critters have been promoted to beasts. All over the place, deer, the big packs of sheep in Uldum to name a couple.

Also, talbuk mount front left leg is having stretching issues.
Gilneas horses run to fast (visual not actual)

[Nachtwulf]

The run cycle for the Headless Horseman's Horse on the ground is also too fast. He runs fine in the air (and fine if you still have 40% ground speed) but at epic-ground-riding speed the run is spastic.

I've reported it a dozen times but they still haven't fixed it.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, I can't remember hearing anything about it previously, but hunter's (at least, I haven't tested other toons) do not have to equip their fishing rod in order to fish. Just by hiting the "fishing" button, you will fish with what appears to be a generic fishing rod (ie, a stick with a wire on it, heh)



as you can see, no rod equipped, and yet I fish. I have the Kalu'ak fishing rod in my bags.

[Kalliope]

@Dali: that's a feature!

[Dalianza]

@Kalliope. Sweet! I wasn't sure. Thanks for clearing that up for me =D

[Sukurachi]

yes, I read something on a forum somewhere that items normally used for professions (like the fishing rod) would no longer be "required", but would instead bring a stat boost to that profession. Like carrying the mining pick would add +10 to mining, or the (new) herbalism tool would add +10 to your herbalism skill, and so on. Skinning knives would no longer be required either, and would also bring a +stat to skinning skill.

[Makoes]

I noticed that with the gnomish army knife that it has +10 to gathering profs. Does anyone know if it stacks with other +skills? (ie gathering on gloves + gnomish knife?)

[Nachtwulf]

I believe it stacks as long as it's a different 'type' of boost. I.e. you can't carry a skinning knife and a gnomish knife for +20, but gloves should work.
