Since releasing Echoes of Doom, players have completed over 300 million achievements (we double checked), respecced talents countless times, and the mohawk is now the most popular haircut in Azeroth (if not the most popular, then certainly the most striking). Players are revisiting old dungeons, forming raids on city leaders, and can be found roaming the far corners of almost every zone in World of Warcraft. We are truly excited about the new patch, and we hope players share our enthusiasm. But with this success, we’ve also seen issues with realm performance that are negatively impacting players’ experiences. Specifically, the large number of new features in Echoes of Doom, combined with the many returning and new players who are playing World of Warcraft, is resulting in issues such as latency and difficulty entering instances, to name a few. Since the patch was released, we have continued to make improvements to the game and optimize our systems to address the issues that players are seeing. We’ll be implementing further optimizations with this week’s scheduled maintenance, and we hope those changes will go a long way toward addressing many of the issues that players are experiencing. The focus for our team is to review and implement improvements on a daily basis, and this process will continue for the foreseeable future. Our goal is to allow players to get back to enjoying the great content in Echoes of Doom, and we will provide another update after players have had a chance to participate in the realms following the weekly maintenance. We greatly appreciate your patience, and we’ll see you in Azeroth, Outland, and soon in Northrend. </div></div></div> Blue posts <div class="blizzquotewrap"><div class="blizzquoteinner"><div class="blizzquoteheader">Quote from Blizzard staff</div><div class="blizzquote">Reminder - PvP reset for WotLK Honor and marks = no Arena points = yes (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/1/11296584023-honormarks-reset-for-wotlk.html" target="_blank">Source</a>) Season 3 for honor There are no current plans to make season 3 gear available through the honor system.  (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/1/11296587172-season-3-gear-ever-gonna-be-for-honor-points.html" target="_blank">Source</a>) Hallow's End G.N.E.R.D. and other candies duration We're in the process of hotfixing the duration of these candies; they should soon last two weeks, not a day. If you've already completed your candy bucket runs for this year, you can trade candies among alts, as others have mentioned. (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/1/11296567501-gnerds-and-other-candy.html" target="_blank">Source</a>) Forsaken Stink Bombs We know about the issue and we're working to both alleviate the problem as much as we can this year, as well as talking about solutions for next year. Your distress is not unheard. (<a href="http://" target="_blank">Source</a>) Squashling Pet The drop rate of the items was raised. It's a good deal higher than what it was last year, and a good deal higher than what third-party sites report it to be. (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/1/11296506720-holiday-titles-should-not-be-that-rare.html" target="_blank">Source</a>) <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=292" target="_blank">Sinister Calling</a> and Squashling pet low droprate I understand completely that people want to get the achievement, the title, and the mount, and therefore the concept of an achievement that may be intended to be uncommon is not a popular one. I wish everyone the best of luck; while I realize I may have frustrated you today with my answers, but I simply wanted it known that everything brought forth as a concern regarding the Sinister Calling achievement was discussed and the achievement was judged reasonable. We'd read the feedback and we understand where you're coming from but the achievement is still right about where we want it to be in terms of being able to complete it. That isn't to say we won't make tweaks to the availability of the items in question, but chance will still play a part if we do. We have no intent of making the items use a quest, token, or other guaranteed system to achieve. (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/1/11296628558-the-sinister-calling-problem.html" target="_blank">Source</a>) <img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/icons/24x24/rogue.jpg" alt="" border="0" /> Rogue (<a href="http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?page=630" target="_blank">Skills List</a> / <a href="http://talent.mmo-champion.com/?rogue" target="_blank">Talent Calc. (9095)</a>) ETA on Shadow Dance fix I think I said before that changing the bar won't happen soon. It will be after Nov 13 and Lich King ships. The change to the cooldown on the openers should be in now on beta and very soon on live. (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/7/11296482622-eta-on-shadow-dance-fix.html" target="_blank">Source</a>) Fan of Knives and single-target DPS We'd love to get rogue AE higher if we can do it where Fan is only used for AE and not as a general part of the single-target rotation. Also note that comparing anyone to a Ret paladin recently, and especially at 70, isn't going to be a great comparison. Elemental isn't designed to have an advantage over mage single-target dps, but rogues should have an advantage over warrior single-target dps. (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/7/11296627141-rogue-ae-dmg-compared-to-other-classes.html" target="_blank">Source</a>) Combat Potency changes and Fan of Knives So it turns out the Combat Potency change to nerf Shiv also keeps Fan of Knives from generating Energy. Making the cooldown zero might do weird things to PvP when a rogue stands there and throws out knives to attempt break stealth. But we can probably lower it to 10 sec or so. That's Thunderclap / Whirlwind range. (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/7/11296627141-rogue-ae-dmg-compared-to-other-classes.html" target="_blank">Source</a>) Hemorrhage But the charges are the entire point. Hemo is supposed to be a debuff, not an alternative to Sinister Strike. It in fact yields better damage per energy than Sinister Strike untalented and it's only the talents that prop up the latter ability. Adding more Hemo talents just gives you another high dps, spammable attack. It is true that the rogue personally may not benefit a lot from Hemo when the charges get used up correctly. I think the attitude that that is "bad" just stems from the "winning the damage meters" mentality, not whether the ability helps you beat the boss. I'm not saying that looking at damage meters makes you shallow. I understand a nearsighted raid leader may not take you if your personal dps is low, but we're also not sure what to do about that until we can come up with some kind of "raid contribution" measurement that includes your buffs and debuffs.
