Upcoming Druid Lifebloom Nerf

We're a bit worried about Resto being too powerful in PvP. We wanted to try out the Lifebloom changes to see if it fixed the problem. We don’t think it's quite the right change though, so we're going to revert the Lifebloom mana nerf, but keep the reduced bloom effect. We'll have to keep watching this.

The change to Efflorescence becoming a smart heal was actually originally just a bug. Since so many of you responded so favorably to it though, we're actually going to redesign Efflorescence to work similarly. We expect the redesign to help the talent be more useful in 5 and 10 player content as well. We'll have more details at a later time.

Upcoming Battle of Gilneas Graveyard Changes

We are changing the way respawns work in Battle of Gilneas. The following is an excerpt from the PTR Patch Notes: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/blog/1959705#blog

Graveyard Changes

Players who die at a control point that they own will now be teleported to the next closest graveyard, instead of the one at which they died.
If a player's team owns the Mine and Waterworks, and dies at Waterworks, they will be teleported to the Mine.
If an Alliance player's team only owns Lighthouse, and dies at Lighthouse, they will respawn at their base.
If a Horde player's team owns Waterworks and Mine, and dies at Lighthouse, they will respawn at Waterworks.

it's impossible to kill everyone before 1 or 2 come back.

Upcoming Change to 'Ambassador' Title Achievement

I know ptr etc.... I'm just wondering if people who are currently neutral with Bilgewater Cartel will be losing their titles until they grind out the rep with that faction, Or will we get to keep our titles because we already earned it ?.

Just asking in advance, since there were some issues with a previous change in achievements/titles.

Winterspring Frostsaber Quest Changes in 4.1

In patch 4.1 we will add a new quest chain to Winterspring for the Alliance, which will be similar to the Horde quest chain found in Un'Goro Crater. This means that obtaining the Reins of the Winterspring Frostsaber for Alliance players should be somewhat similar to the way that Horde players get the Whistle of the Venomhide Ravasaur... or atleast that is the idea :-)

Archaeology Item Cooldowns

Sometimes it can be difficult to find a good "sweet spot" when choosing cooldowns for items such as those obtained through Archaeology. We don't want all the cooldowns to be exactly the same, but we also don't want it to feel like the numbers were chosen totally at random. We may not always get the values right initially, so knowing what feels good to you and what doesn't -- and why-- is really helpful.

So, thanks for postin'. If you've any additional feedback about Archaeology item cooldowns, please feel free to share it (constructively, of course). :)

I can't decide whether fabricating your own reality is suiting for a Blizzard employee or not...it's what you guys do for a living by creating video games, afterall.

Are you certain the Pendant cooldown is intended, Lylirra? It's 100 minutes as opposed to the other items' 10 minutes - are you sure someone didn't fat-finger an extra 0 on there?

Dozens of pages of constructive feedback, deeply disturbed that this bit of archaeology about cooldowns is what gets Blizzard's attention.

We just want some acknowledgment that, "Hey, we see that you guys are not having fun with the way it was implemented, so we are looking into it."
