Update to Mobs Scaling to Item Levelundocumented change yesterdayin yesterday's post.

Blizzard

Thanks for the feedback on this issue. It’s clear that we need to make some changes here, so here are our current plans:

We’re removing the increase to damage dealt by creatures in the world. Our overall goal with this change is to keep the amount of time it takes to kill a creature from getting ridiculously short, and increasing the damage they deal is unnecessary for that goal. Instead, this was making you feel like they were becoming more dangerous, which was not our intent.
We’re significantly reducing the rate at which creature health scales with your item level. Again, all we’re trying to do here is prevent cases where monsters die too quickly for players to react to their presence, particularly around World Quests. Our initial tuning was far more aggressive than it needed to be, which could make it feel like your upgrades weren't actually helping. This change will make it very clear that you are still becoming noticeably stronger than your enemies as your gear improves.
Those two changes are already live, and you should be seeing them in-game now.
Later today, we’ll be correcting a separate issue that’s causing unequipping an item to drastically alter the power of enemies you’re facing. The above changes make it so that’s never the right thing to do anyway, but this is still a strange/buggy interaction that needs to be fixed.

It should also be noted that this change was on the Patch 7.2 PTR (and has been since January). We didn’t communicate anything about it initially because we wanted to get testers’ raw and honest feedback about it when they encountered it themselves, rather than attempting to pre-empt or otherwise influence their opinions ahead of time. When that feedback never came, we assumed that meant it was an acceptable change – i.e., those who hadn’t noticed it weren’t bothered by it, and those who had noticed it thought it was fine. Clearly that was a false assumption, and we should have drawn attention to it later in the PTR cycle, so that we could have caught these issues before Patch 7.2 went live.

Pet TargetingEspírito Feral

Blizzard

In Patch 7.2, we added optional targeting gameplay to some pet summons spells.

The following pet summon spells will now summon the pet and immediately aggro your current targeted enemy if you have an enemy targeted. If you do not have an enemy targeted, it will summon the pet near you in passive mode:

Enhancement
Espírito Feral (leap)
Artifact Feral Spirits (leap)

Elemental
Elemental do Fogo (ranged)
Elemental da Terra (charge)
Elemental da Tempestade (ranged)

Primal Fire Elemental (ranged)
Primal Earth Elemental (charge)
Primal Storm Elemental (ranged)

We expect that there are some specific situations where a player might want to have a target but still cast their summon without having it attack that target (such as a fire elemental being summoned right before the pull). To accomplish this, you should be able to make a targeting macro (/cast Fire Elemental).

We're working on fixing the inadvertent range change. We have a hotfix in testing for that.

Thank you for the feedback!

Custom Lag Toleranceyesterday's post

Blizzard

We've renamed the custom lag tolerance cvar to "SpellQueueWindow".

You can change it by entering the following in the chat window:
/console SpellQueueWindow X

Replace "X" with the lag tolerance you'd like to test (in milliseconds).

7.2 Common Issues

Blizzard

PAID CHARACTER TRANSFER BLOCKED BY CAGED PETS
Working as intended: A character transfer can no longer be initiated as long as the character in question has a caged battle pet. This is a new transfer restriction.

ITEM: DISTILLED TITAN ESSENCE DOES NOT UPGRADE LEGENDARIES
Hotfix inc: It is possible for Distilled Titan Essence to not upgrade Legendary items to level 940. We're working on a fix!

QUEST: "IN DIRE NEED" DOES NOT GIVE FOLLOW-UP QUEST
Known issue: Some players have contacted us about potentially missing a follow-up quest to In Dire Need. We are currently taking a closer look.

QUEST: WAND TARGETS CANNOT BE HIT IN "WANDING 101"
Known issue: We've seen cases where the wand projectile does not properly strike the target dummy and are investigating likely causes.

ORDER HALL: RESOURCES CONSUMED BUT NO WORK ORDER PRODUCED
Need more info: We have received reports from players attempting to create artifact research work orders, but no research started even though resources were consumed. If you are affected by this issue, please use the in-game bug report feature and let us know in detail!

Vampiric Blood Bug

Blizzard

There's a bug whereby ranks beyond 1 of Vampiric Fangs are providing the healing bonus to Vampiric Blood, but not the health bonus. This will be hotfixed (no specific ETA).
