Fixes for 16–17 October 2026
All changes listed here were installed on the server on 16 and 17 October. Items marked "Confirmed in game" have been checked by players and work. Items marked "Checking continues" are installed but not yet confirmed in game: installing a follow-up does not mean the report is closed.
Cold Hearts proto-drake and flying vehicles
- Cold Hearts proto-drake: The freed proto-drake now counts as flying from the very first second: flight speed is available right after you mount, and you no longer need to press space. While you ride it, the endless stream of extra events is gone. In the air and when hovering the drake now flaps its wings instead of standing in a walking pose. Confirmed in game.
- Skyclaw in the quest "Into the Thicket" (В чащобу): It uses the same model as the proto-drake, so it received the same flight animation. Checking continues.
Dungeons
- Violet Hold, Ichoron: The "Protective Bubble" now loses a charge with every hit and spell and bursts; Ichoron explodes and splits into water globules, then the fight continues while the boss has enough health. The "Water Blast" on a random player, the knockback explosion when the bubble breaks (the "Splash" on heroic) and the boss's exhaustion after the explosion are back. Confirmed in game.
- Violet Hold, Zuramat the Obliterator: "Void Shift" now goes to the player whose "Void Shifted" effect ended, and only that player sees and can attack the Void Sentries. Sentries are no longer visible to everyone and no longer attack on their own; a small void blob appears next to each one. Ability timing and heroic versions are fixed, and the victory over Zuramat is now saved when he is the second boss of the Hold. Confirmed in game.
- Violet Hold, Xevozz: Spheres appear at three points in the room again and slowly drift toward the boss; a sphere that reaches Xevozz empowers him once, a sphere killed on the way gives him nothing. Normal mode has one sphere, heroic has two. Confirmed in game.
- Violet Hold, Erekem: "Earth Shock" no longer fires in a continuous stream, it replaces the regular melee swing; "Bloodlust" and "Chain Heal" now work on the guards, and healing is aimed only at Erekem himself and his living guards. Confirmed in game.
- Violet Hold, Moragg: "Pain Beam" and "Suffering Beam" now work, and the damage of "Optic Link" grows over the channel. Confirmed in game.
- Violet Hold, Cyanigosa: Her dragon form now has correct dimensions, so she can be hit in melee without standing under her body. "Arcane Vacuum" now pulls enemies in, and the fight behaviour and heroic versions of her abilities were checked. Confirmed in game.
- Violet Hold, Lieutenant Sinclari and portals: Sinclari's menu is in Russian and shows her quests; after a wipe the fight resets without risen bosses, and portals no longer vanish too early. Confirmed in game.
- Violet Hold, cells: The extra boss projections in the cells at the entrance were removed. Confirmed in game.
- Drak'Tharon Keep, start of the dungeon: Fallen defenders now lie on the ground instead of standing upright; living guards and risen warriors on the galleries fight each other; bats, spiders, death knights and patrols walk and fly their routes again. Confirmed in game.
- Drak'Tharon Keep, Trollgore: "Consume" no longer gives stacks for pets, totems and helpers, the start of the fight no longer triggers twice, heroic mode is fixed. Invaders that stay near the boss after the fight and Trollgore's own position are still being worked on. Checking continues.
- Drak'Tharon Keep, Novos the Summoner: Summoned helpers now walk down the stairs toward the players, "Shadow Bolt" works for the dark mages, heroic mode is fixed. The Crystal Handlers' behaviour is still being worked on. Checking continues.
- Drak'Tharon Clean-Up (Очищение Драк'Тарона): There is now one Drakuru instead of two, the extra quest with the same name was removed, the event with the Lich King plays through completely. Confirmed in game.
- Neltharion's Lair: The ancient Highmountain artifact is now present in all modes including mythic, and the item from it always drops while the quest is active. Confirmed in game.
Northrend: the Tournament
- On Par with the Champions (На равных с чемпионами): Champion behaviour was restored: each has their own dialogue, you can challenge one only mounted on a tournament steed, with a lance and the quest taken; at low health a champion yields and you receive a champion's mark. Starting the fight with "Charge" or "Shield-Breaker" no longer resets it, and a champion who has yielded no longer attacks again. The chained Fjola and Eydis are now peaceful, spectators sit on the benches, and service markers in the trees are no longer visible. Confirmed in game.
- Trial of the Challenger (Испытание претендента): The objective marker was moved to the duel site, the menus of the squires David and Danny are in Russian, and after a "Charge" the opponent attacks your steed. Confirmed in game.
- The Great Battle (Великая битва): The glory seekers of the cities now follow the full duel sequence: menu in Russian, riding away a few steps, a charging start, and a "Defeated" mark for five minutes after the win. Confirmed in game.
- At the Enemy's Gates (У вражеских врат): The Silver Vanguard camp is visible to everyone, bone scouts fly, lieutenants have a shield that is broken by "Shield-Breaker". Confirmed in game.
- Battle at the Citadel (Битва у Цитадели): Bone commanders are now visible at their places, keep a shield and charge. Confirmed in game.
- Master of Melee (Мастер ближнего боя): The speed of all tournament steeds was evened out; the Kel'Dorei steed no longer runs slower than the silver war horse. Checking continues.
Northrend: Icecrown
- History of the Fallen (История погибших): Spirits of the dead appear at the graves and show how they died. Checking continues.
- Orders for the Black Knight (Приказы для Черного рыцаря): The gryphon drops the passenger on the shore, not over the water. Checking continues.
- The Bronzebeard Brothers (Братья Бронзобороды): Stormforged soldiers appeared in the Creators' Machine shaft, they can be knocked down, Brann no longer falls off the craft, and Magni and Jorg come to the meeting. Instead of the walking Kretei, the slain Kretei on the battlefield is shown during the flight. Confirmed in game.
- Lonely Sentry (Одинокий часовой): The two Kreteis at the Foothold are no longer visible at the same time, and one of them walks a route. Confirmed in game.
- Fate of the Titans (Судьба титанов): The data vault does not enter combat, flies around the temples and counts them. Confirmed in game.
- Faithful Friends (Верные друзья): Stormcrest eagles are back in the nests on the summit and can be fed. Confirmed in game.
- Find the Culprit (Найти преступника): The frost hound has its chase by iron dwarves back, its normal speed and its hints. Confirmed in game.

- Furlin Icebrow (Фьюрлин Ледобров): Dialogue options about the battle eagle and about the trial show only with the right quests and work. Confirmed in game.
- Velog Icehowl (Велог Ледяной Вопль): He no longer hands out "The Bronzebeard Brothers" and only accepts it. Checking continues.
- Temple of Winter: Extra portals and banners on the summit were removed. Checking continues.
- Training Run (Тренировочный заезд): The war bear's buttons stand at the start of the bar, Kirgaraak is chained. Checking continues.
- Into the Pit! (В Яму!): The bears in the pit no longer rush in as a crowd; only a few wander, and not far. Confirmed in game.
- Dragonslayer (Драконобойца): The proto-drake appears after taking the quest and flies a route among Hyldsmeet's drakes, the harpoon can be thrown from the drake, and defeating a rider counts. Checking continues.
- Inconstancy (Непостоянство): The drake now explodes in the air in the middle of the climb. Confirmed in game.
- Blind the Watchers (Ослепить соглядатаев): The fourth scout fighter is back in the quest area. Confirmed in game.
- When Only One Way Out Remains... (Когда остается единственный выход...): The rocket now really seats the player, carries you to the camp and drops you next to the quest giver; the same fix applies to the Horde rocket. Confirmed in game.
- The False Spy (Ненастоящий шпион): Dark essences are taken from the bag when summoning and on turn-in, and the messenger walks deep into the cult camp. Confirmed in game.

Dungeon Finder with bots
- Filling the group with bots: Before, a bot put into the queue received an invitation to the dungeon alone and left, while you stayed without an invitation. Now bots wait for a full group together with you. Checking continues.
