Any idea when we get

- Guild bank and guild housing back

Please make the raid visuals patch work on the minimum "Spell Detail Level" setting.

Fixed issue in BG's causing a crash on some clients when a priest casted levitate


Crazy how twow devs always said they had no way of reproducing / fixing this and just blamed it on players mods / addons

[Archer]

Its crazier to me that they never had any footstep sounds in their custom zones

- Arena back?
- Guild bank and guild housing back

Arena is in the next few weeks along with thorn gorge.
Guild banks are in.
Guild houses/tabard teleport will be added with a custom feature in the next month or two

• Pet buffs and items/gear no longer require line-of-sight

Thank you so much for this!

Would it be possible to have a look at this issue with pet scaling https://octowow.st/bug-report?id=320 ?

I'd also like to suggest letting ammo stack to 400. We consume it at much faster speeds compared to normal Vanilla and our biggest quiver/ammo pouch has 18/16 slots.

[Defiant]

I think it's great that you guys are adding support for Patch-O and going so far as to maintain it.

Its crazier to me that they never had any footstep sounds in their custom zones

Watch that be the spark that makes all of the spaghetti code burst into flame and implode.

"Well, we tried adding footsteps guys, and it broke everything."

You doing Gods Work!
