Subject: New Currently Researching List
   The previous Currently Researching post is experiencing technical difficulties and cannot be edited. Those issues have been moved to this new post.

Due to the massive number of posts for this phase of the PTR, I would like to try something slightly different. This new format I hope will expedite the entire reporting/researching process and gather issues that were possibly lost in the shuffle.

The master list in this thread will be dedicated specifically to issues new to the 0.9.0 patch that have not been addressed in the Known Issues sticky. This list will contain only un-confirmed bugs that we are in the process of researching. Issues we are able to verify will be moved from this list to the Known Issues sticky. Feel free to reply with additional issues that you do not see on the Known Issues sticky or on this list that are new to the 0.9.0 patch. Bugs that are confirmed will be moved to the Known Issues post.

Off-topic posts and posts made in a non-constructive manner found in this thread will be deleted without review. Please provide as many details as possible when reporting a bug in this thread that may aid us in reproducing the issue.

       Not a Bug:
  • It is possible to mount under the effects of Orb of Deception.
  • Screech's AE effect breaks CC effects.
    Screech's AE effect is not breaking CC effects in our tests.
  • Pet speeds are normalized.
    There still is an issue under research concerning a pet's ability to pursue its target. Default pet speeds for all types of creatures are all intended to be the same.
  • Several spells have new hit animations.
    These effects are new to this patch and can be toned down through the video options.
  • Using the WoWtest client causes major graphical distortion.
    Try copying your WTF folder from your root WoW directory to your WoWtest directory. This will transfer your video options and should correct the issue.
  • The ranks of Searing Pain are mismatched.
    The screenshot provided showed the correct rank of the spell. The highlighted portion lists the pre-requisite of the spell which is Searing Pain rank 5.
  • Searing Pain had its damage increase by only 1.
    This is a typo in the patch notes. The Searing Pain damage increase was due to a bug fix that corrected and issue with tooltip values rounding down.
  • Soul Bags are not unique but warlocks can only have one in use.
  • Enslave demon is affected by diminishing returns, leading to an estimated maximum enslave time of 15 minutes before a demon must be killed.
    This is indicated in the tooltip.
  • Righteous Fury is not increasing threat generation appropriately.
    Our tests show that Righteous Fury is generating the correct amount of additional threat.

    Need More Information:
  • UI Scale seems to be shrinking bars more than intended.
    Conflicts with 3rd party UI mods are not considered bugs. Be sure to remove any 3rd party UI mods before reporting UI bugs.
  • Pet AI has difficulty attacking moving targets.
  • Pets are moving slower than the normalized move speed intends.
    Pets have been slightly tweaked in the new PTR build. This issue appears corrected in our internal tests but we are leaving the issue open for public results.
  • Banished creatures are still attacking players.
  • Using the dressing room while shapeshifted causes adverse effects.
  • Gnome mages have access to one of the warlock set items, from the quest givers after the first boss in AQ40.
  • Dampen Magic buff visual is invalid.

       The previous Currently Researching post is experiencing technical difficulties and cannot be edited. Those issues have been moved to this new post.

    Due to the massive number of posts for this phase of the PTR, I would like to try something slightly different. This new format I hope will expedite the entire reporting/researching process and gather issues that were possibly lost in the shuffle.

    The master list in this thread will be dedicated specifically to issues new to the 0.9.0 patch that have not been addressed in the Known Issues sticky. This list will contain only un-confirmed bugs that we are in the process of researching. Issues we are able to verify will be moved from this list to the Known Issues sticky. Feel free to reply with additional issues that you do not see on the Known Issues sticky or on this list that are new to the 0.9.0 patch. Bugs that are confirmed will be moved to the Known Issues post.

    Off-topic posts and posts made in a non-constructive manner found in this thread will be deleted without review. Please provide as many details as possible when reporting a bug in this thread that may aid us in reproducing the issue.

    Conflicts with 3rd party UI mods are not considered bugs. Be sure to remove any 3rd party UI mods before reporting UI bugs.

    This is issue existed prior to this patch and should be reported in the Bug Report Forum.

    The screenshot provided showed the correct rank of the spell. The highlighted portion lists the pre-requisite of the spell which is Searing Pain rank 5.
  • Searing Pain had its damage increase by only 1.
    This is a typo in the patch notes. The Searing Pain damage increase was due to a bug fix that corrected and issue with tooltip values rounding down.
  • Soul Bags are not unique but warlocks can only have one in use.
  • Enslave demon is affected by diminishing returns, leading to an estimated maximum enslave time of 15 minutes before a demon must be killed.
    This is indicated in the tooltip.
  • Righteous Fury is not increasing threat generation appropriately.
    Our tests show that Righteous Fury is generating the correct amount of additional threat.
  • Repentance acting is as a stun for the purposes of Judgment of Command.
    Judgment of Command's tooltip now reflects that it works with stunned and incapacitated players.
  • Some spells cannot have their detail adjusted with the Spell Detail Level slider.
    Only certain types of spell graphics are intended to be adjusted with this feature.
  • The holy damage from the Judgement 8 piece set bonus does not get increased by +spell damage, judgement of crusader, etc.
    Spell damage bonuses should not apply to item generated effects.
  • Unable to resize and select the chat tab of the combat window after enabling and disabling simple chat.
    Enabling Simple Chat will lock the window. You must unlock the window after disabling it to modify these features.
  • Holy Shield does not affect blocks unless the paladin is in combat mode.
    Holy shield will proc regardless of the player being in or out of combat mode. Players are unable to block when they have shields sheathed.
  • The paladin's spell damage coefficient is lower than intended.
    The spell damage coefficients in the most recent patch are as intended but may be subject to change. This will require further analysis.
  • The Thunderfury and Jeklik's Crusher proc rates are possibly lower than in previous patches.
    Proc rate changes made to several items are intended and will be added to the patch notes.

    Need More Information:
  • Gnome mages have access to one of the warlock set items, from the quest givers after the first boss in AQ40.
  • Casting Mind Vision on Fankriss the Unyielding in Ahn'Qiraj causes an Error # 132 crash.
  • SaveBindings() causes a crash to desktop.

       Not a Bug:
  • It is possible to mount under the effects of Orb of Deception.
  • Screech's AE effect breaks CC effects.
    Screech's AE effect is not breaking CC effects in our tests.

    There still is an issue under research concerning a pet's ability to pursue its target. Default pet speeds for all types of creatures are all intended to be the same.
  • Several spells have new hit animations.

    UI
  • Scrolling through the guild page of large guilds (232 players) causes an excessive amount of UI lag.
  • Altering raids (moving players, inviting/uninviting players, players logging on/off...)is causing UI lag.

       Not a Bug:
  • Improved Righteous Fury percentage is calculated differently than other percentage modifiers.
    The total amount of threat generated by Improved Righteous Fury is 90%. The following nomenclature will be used in the future. If an aura improves an effect by adding to it, it will say something like, "Improves your X by an additional Y percent." If it improves an effect by multiplying by a percent, it will say something like, "Improves your X by Y percent."
  • Players are not exiting combat until AoE spells complete.
    Our internal tests have shown that AoE spells do not interfere with combat flags.
  • Holy Shield and Blessing of Sanctuary do not receive bonuses from +damage gear or from Judgement of the Crusader.
    Damage dealt from passive type abilities should not receive damage bonuses from +damage effects.
  • Players cannot mount in the area near the sewer entrance to Undercity.
  • Killing certain faction NPCs is causing excessive amounts of reputation loss.
  • The are no Fishing Schools (nodes) in high level zones.
    There are nodes in high level zones and some zones do not have nodes.
  • Stormstrike range was reduced to 5 yards from 6.
    Stormstrike's range is 9 yards.
  • Blessing of Sanctuary can kill players in duels.
    This is not occurring in our internal tests.
  • Improved Retribution Aura has no effect on Retribution Aura.
    Improved Retribution Aura increases the damage dealt with Retribution Aura.
  • Righteous Fury causes holy damage from non damage shield sources to proc Judgement of Light and Wisdom.
    We were unable to reproduce this in our internal tests.
  • The Hide Party Frames interface option does not function correctly as a ghost.

    Need More Information:
  • The Prophet Skeram's True Fulfillment (Mind Control) seems to be capable of adversely affecting the maximum life of players affected.
  • Resurrecting though a spirit healer is reducing all stats to 0.
