As was the case with WoW Classic, there are many issues that have been reported to us in the Burning Crusade Classic beta as bugs, but are actually correct behavior in the original game, or are otherwise expected behavior in Burning Crusade Classic. Below you will find a list of issues that players have most often reported to us that we have determined are not bugs.
This list is not comprehensive at this time, and more issues may be added in the future.General:
- The level range for experience eligibility is much more narrow in Burning Crusade than it was in WoW Classic.
Example: At level 60, a level 48 monster/player will no longer provide experience or honor in Burning Crusade Classic, but in WoW Classic that same target would provide experience or honor.
Health regeneration provided by Spirit varies by class, and is not equal between them.
Moving between layers takes progressively longer with each swap. This is intended to prevent exploitation.
Combat and Class Mechanics:
- Large and small character models have slight differences in their combat reach, accurate to the original experience and distances.
Developers’ notes: It has been widely reported during the Burning Crusade Classic beta that Tauren have lost their “combat reach” in Arena specifically. This is not the case. While moving, Tauren may hit other Tauren through the widest point in the pillar in the Ring of Trials arena in Nagrand. This behavior is identical to the original functionality in The Burning Crusade.
When pets are sent to attack an enemy and that enemy enters stealth, the pet will continue to follow the stealthed unit around but will not directly attack them until the unit breaks stealth or can be seen by the pet’s owner. This is correct and matches original Burning Crusade pet behavior.
When pets are sent to attack an enemy and that enemy enters stealth, the pet will continue to follow the stealthed unit around but will not directly attack them until the unit breaks stealth or can be seen by the pet’s owner. This is correct and matches original Burning Crusade pet behavior.
If a pet is in combat but the owner is not in combat, the owner can still perform actions like drinking/eating and use out of combat abilities, but is considered “in combat” when being evaluated as a valid target by abilities such as Sap.
Friendly dispels against hostile debuffs applied by creatures and enemy players can be resisted. This includes abilities such as Tremor Totem, and is more pronounced when using lower level or lower ranked versions of dispel abilities to remove higher level debuffs.
The chance to be dodged by creatures is slightly lower in Burning Crusade Classic than it was in WoW Classic.
Heartbeat resists are present in Burning Crusade Classic and were present throughout all of the original Burning Crusade.
While in a raid group, swapping players into a new party will remove party-specific buffs such as Battle Shout from the player that was moved.
Diminishing returns on crowd control abilities use a randomized 15-20 second window before resetting back to their full durations.
德莱尼:
- 英雄灵气 and 鼓舞灵气 only display a visible buff for party members. Neither buff is reflected in the character sheet.
猎人:
- 蝎毒 does not scale with attack power or pet happiness damage modifier.
- 翼龙钉刺 shares a diminishing return category with 冰冻陷阱.
- It is possible to run quickly across a hunter trap and not trigger it.
德鲁伊:
- Energy regeneration “tick” timers are reset when shifting into cat form.
圣骑士:
- Paladin Seals will not proc from 十字军打击 damage as well as several other paladin procs and abilities (including 辩护).
- Not all Paladin Seals can be “twisted” into each other.
- 清算 will not proc from damage-over-time effects.
潜行者:
- 暗影斗篷 cannot increase the resist chance higher than 80% against other players' spells. The full 90% chance to resist does apply against non-player creatures.
战士:
- 嗜血 damage does not scale from attack power gained via 强化狂暴姿态 or 怒火释放.
- Initiating a charge or intercept against a focus target will cause your Auto Attack to begin against the focus target rather than your primary target.
- The One-handed Weapon Specialization talent does not affect the damage of 雷霆一击.
- Unused “charges” of 压制 will be lost on your primary target if an ability such as 旋风斩 or Cleave is dodged by a secondary target.
Developers' notes: This is somewhat strange and quirky interaction, and is a result of how 压制 was originally built. It essentially works similar to a rogues combo points in that if you generate a new overpower “point” on a new target, your current proc is lost on your primary target.
法师:
- 奥术专注 will not proc from 暴风雪 damage.
萨满祭司:
- Coefficient damage from totems and item procs does not scale with +damage to specific creature types.
Example: Your 灼热图腾 will not gain extra damage vs. demons from the 勇士印记 trinket.
闪电链 can cause multiple procs of
闪电过载.
When totems such as
风怒 and
火舌图腾 affect party members in combat, the
萨满祭司 who cast the totem is also placed in combat.
牧师- 愈合祷言 will proc from damage that is reflected back at the priest.
- Damage over time effects on a priest with the 反射护盾 talent do not cause spell pushback.
Raids - Karazhan:
- 夜之魇's 烟雾冲击 is doing the correct amount of damage and is being properly mitigated by armor.
- 骷髅招待员s are immune to shackle undead.
- The Side Entrance Door remains locked until you have completed the 猎手阿图门, 莫罗斯, and Opera Event encounters. No key is needed and will automatically open when you walk near it if those three encounters are complete.
Dungeons - Blood Furnace:
- There is no speed buff after defeating the last boss and going into the exit tunnel.
Other:
- The 塞纳里奥作战角鹰兽 does not have a ground animation in the original Burning Crusade. This was added in a later expansion.
- The 魔莲花 is a common quality item in the original Burning Crusade. It was upgraded to uncommon in a later expansion.
- 铁皮手雷s will fizzle on targets that are level 50 or higher.
