Summary
World of Warcraft’s recent update in preparation for Season of Discovery Phase 4 has caused some glitches to ripple out into otherClassicEra realms. While these bugs will almost certainly be squashed soon, they are creating some comical problems in the retroWorld of Warcraftservers in the meantime.
Recently,World of Warcraft Classicimplemented a sizable patchin preparation for Phase 4 of Season of Discovery. This update is the first endgame phase of the experimentalWoW Classicrealm, featuring a brand-new dungeon, revamped versions of iconic raids and world bosses, and tons of class-altering Rune engravings and skill books to collect.
However, it seems this update has had some unintended side effects on otherClassic WoWrealms. Several glitches have appeared sinceWorld of Warcraft’s eight-hour maintenanceconcluded, many of which seem to be bleeding over from Season of Discovery. The new Might of Stormwind buff – the Season of Discovery-only Alliance counterpart to the Horde’s Warchief’s Blessing – is popping up onClassicEra and Hardcore realms, as is an unlocking quest for the Testament of the Divine Steed skill book. What’s more,WoWcontent creator Esuvii discovered that the Warlock’s Rain of Fire spell lost its channeling time, leading to some hilariously overpowered showers of flame.
WoW Classic Era Bugs Caused by Season of Discovery Phase 4 Update
The Netherwind Regalia – the iconic Magetier set fromWoW Classic– seems to have lost its graphical textures. This has left the majority of the outfit with a flat gray model, rather than the iconic blues and purples players are used to.
Hilarious as they may be, the bleed over from Season of Discovery patch has caused a few problems – especially considering it has affected the high-stakesClassicHardcore realms as well. There may be other glitches players have yet to find; these are simplythe ones Wowhead identifiedsince maintenance concluded.WoW ClassicSeason of Discovery Phase 4 officially begins on July 11, so hopefully Blizzard will be able to resolve these issues before too long. Needless to say, these were not the discoveries Season of Discovery fans were expecting to find in this update.
