Fix just went out to prevent the dream clones from escaping the Kelris fight and causing havoc in the outdoor world. Thanks to the lovely folks who reported this on Reddit. I happened to be browsing while watching Cars with my daughters for the 42nd time. #DustToDust

@kenandstuff That just sounds like a curse from Super Lucifron. I like where your head is at Ken.

[Tim Jones @OptimusJones]

@KirbyAu Huge congratulations Orlando!!!

[Tim Jones @OptimusJones]

I’ll be in the office most of the weekend so we’ll have time to check these and other issues out. Thanks for the reports :)

[Tim Jones @OptimusJones]

Hotfix just went out to fix an issue on Twilight Lord Kelris so he doesn't accidentally murder people in there dreams as frequently. Yell at me plz if there's any other critical issues that pop up. Want everyone to have an exciting weekend getting into BFD!

@joshcorbettpods Happy birthday Josh, I’ll do you one better and try to squeeze in triple-wielding where you can hold an extra weapon in your teeth by equipping a weapon for a helm. That or phalanx stance where you dual-wield shields after finding the hidden legendary Azshara’s Charcuterie Board.

[Tim Jones @OptimusJones]

@joshcorbettpods Good call out imo. I’ll check on Monday if there are collision differences between wrath and era wsg but regardless if there are areas that we should add additional collision to to prevent unfair flag hiding etc bring ‘em up. We’ll fix em.

Super excited to see everyone on Ulduar PTR. @AggrendWoW put together a great compilation of the mechanical pre-nerf changes we made. Have fun everyone and be generous with the feedback :)

@joshcorbettpods Happy Birthday Josh, your podcast is fantastic. Keep up the good work.

[Tim Jones @OptimusJones]

@Sarthetv Thanks Sarthe, hope you have a great Thanksgiving weekend and I'm looking forward to you checking out Pre-nerf Ulduar when it hits. It's gonna be spicy!

[Tim Jones @OptimusJones]

I had an incredible time hanging out with members of the community council yesterday. I really enjoy the sort of informal grassroots/townhall format and having authentic conversations. Looking forward to more! https://t.co/R0gqILsnaM

@Duranasaur24 @AggrendWoW Love your content. Thanks for the feedback while you were running 5 mans with Sarthe on ptr today. Will definitely try to give hunters more love in Halls of Stone and Lighting with the new affix.

[Tim Jones @OptimusJones]

This machinima collaboration we did with Hurricane captures the heart of Wrath of the Lich King so sincerely. I highly recommend a watch.

@agrius11 All great points! Gathering nodes and chests in dungeons are incredibly lucrative for solo farms and is definitely on our radar. The knockdown/stun is an interesting idea for dealing with the strength of prot pally avoidance. Willing to consider restrictions on transferred goods.

[Tim Jones @OptimusJones]

Only an hour in and loving this great discussion. World as the main character is one of our chief desires, anti-dungeon boosting is aimed to support that. I would love feedback about how best to restore player agency in the world as we encourage natural groups and outdoor play.

[Tim Jones @OptimusJones]

@joshcorbettpods @norththemage The pleasure is all mine. Like the rest of the Classic team I’m always hungry for feedback and you and your guests deliver it in spades. Your passion for WoW is humbling to say the least and I want to encourage you to keep questioning everything we do.

[Tim Jones @OptimusJones]

I'm ashamed that I've been on the #WoWClassic development team since September 2021 and I just discovered @joshcorbettpods. Thank you for the amazing interviews! I'm commuting back to the office now and driving with you and @norththemage analyzing Classic is a honestly a joy.

[Tim Jones @OptimusJones]

I want an environment where players are having fun and feel rewarded when leveling via questing or running dungeons with legitimate groups. I also want to preserve class and spec identity if your thing is skillfully pulling huge groups and AoEing them down.

[Tim Jones @OptimusJones]

The design of the anti-kiting mechanics is to minimize impact on legitimate groups as much as possible. I’d love feedback from SoM players who over-pulled in 5-mans and if they were negatively affected by these safeguards. Always looking to improve our design for Wrath Classic.

[Tim Jones @OptimusJones]

It’s the anti-kiting/anti-boosting mechanics that were added to trash in 5-mans and ZG. After 30 seconds of combat trash gains snare immunity, 60 seconds -> root immunity, 90 seconds -> movement speed buff. Any non snare/root/stun CC from players will reset this timer.
