Thread was closed, but I would like to continue this "discussion". You have 5 posts in this thread, yet zero contain something we can call VALID information. All I saw so far was "it should be like that, because I said that". Link to source? I hope it's Pandaria expansion, not WotLK or Wod btw. Took me time to find my lockout thread which was based on Blizzard BluePosts (2012-2013), but special for you: [spoiler=2) Loot-based Lockout:] This type of lockout is used in the following in-game content: • Raid Finder; • Flexible Raids; • World Bosses; How does it work: • Player is able to defeat a boss as many times as he likes in current reset, but loot can only be received once. • Player is able to join anyone's group / instance - player's current progress does not affect it. • Player does not receive a boss-based lockout, but a loot-based lockout, which means it's possible to always go back later and defeat bosses that you’ve skipped by joining a group that had progressed further. • Player does not receive lockout on encounter, if his group manages to defeat a boss while player is offline. [spoiler=3) Flexible Boss-based Lockout:] This type of lockout is used in the following in-game content: • Wrath of the Lich King Raids on 10 Normal & 25 Normal Mode; • Cataclysm Raids on 10 Normal & 25 Normal Mode; • Mists of Pandaria Raids on 10 Normal & 25 Normal Mode; How does it work: • There is a shared lockout between 10 Normal, 25 Normal, 10 Heroic & 25 Heroic difficulty. • Player is only allowed to defeat each boss once in current raid week and is not able to enter an instance where this boss is alive. • Player is able to move from group to group during current raid week as long as he is trying to join instances that don’t have bosses alive that he has already defeated. • If player enters an instance that is more progressed than him and manages to defeat at least one boss - player will also get locked to all prior bosses. • Player is able to move between 10 and 25 raid size as long as this player has followed all the previous rules. • Player does not receive lockout on encounter, if his group manages to defeat a boss while player is offline. [spoiler=4) Strict Instance-based Lockout:] This type of lockout is used in the following in-game content: • Dungeon Finder: Specific Heroic Mode Dungeons; • Heroic Mode Dungeons; • Classic Raids; • The Burning Crusade Raids; • Wrath of the Lich King Raids on 10 Heroic & 25 Heroic Mode; • Cataclysm Raids on 10 Heroic & 25 Heroic Mode; • Mists of Pandaria Raids on 10 Heroic & 25 Heroic Mode; How does it work: • There is a shared lockout between 10 Normal, 25 Normal, 10 Heroic & 25 Heroic difficulty. • Instance progress is tied to unique instance ID. Once player is tied to a unique instance ID, he may not enter any other versions of that raid on that difficulty during current raid week. (For example player has defeated 3/14 bosses, he will not be able to join another group (with different unique instance ID). No matter if this group has less, equal or higher progress than this player). • If other players manage to progress that instance while you are absent, the progress they made will also update in your raid lockout, because progress is tied to the instance, and not your character. • Player is not able to switch between 10-player and 25-player raid size once locked to one size. Lockout Reset Times: • Raids & World Bosses: Every Wednesday at 8:00 Server Time. • Heroic Dungeons: Every Day at 8:00 Server Time.

All I see now are empty words, provide information which proves that we have made a false lockout system with retail data or I will close this thread. And this information needs to mirror Pandaria expansion, not Warlords of Draenor, because system you described above was introduced in WoD.

Check now

Just like me and Buka agreed to do with 5.0.5 raids, 5.2 raid items will appear only some time after heroic progression ends

And it won't help, currently don't spend your time on that. Sent this report to developer who made changes to NPC models, he will check

Will review today

For me everything was ok, anyone can confirm?

Last update was on 16/07 (if I'm not wrong), you can see that in-game by using .server info, It's not exactly a rule in stone that we update only on Wednesdays, we can do that any day

Will try to join some LFR Wednesday, solo tests do not trigger anything unfortunately

Ye, this is only a visual bug until you actually buy this item. Once you do -> upgrades will appear. Currently not sure how to solve this for these items, might return to this issue a bit later

Strange. Screenshot taken on x5 2 mins ago: Have you tried to clear cache? It's important in this case, so hotfix takes effect; Also try to relog additional time

There was missing data in DBC for these items (Operation: Shieldwall and Dominance Offensive). I have added the necessary information so these items could be upgraded. I suggest you clear cache after tomorrow's morning restart in case upgrades do not show up on their own for these items. Also I noticed vendor offers few items in exchange for wrong currency for patch 5.1, that's also been fixed. Everything will be applied tomorrow after morning restart

Checked some videos and hotfix logs, I understand in 5.1 these items had upgrades (like it says in report) - Will look into this issue in the evening, the fact that they do not have upgrades now is a bit confusing

I can answer about this - I removed it last night on x5 because Black Market Auction contained items from future patch (in our case patch 5.2 PVP items). I'll sort this item list tonight and return NPC back in the morning. All your bids which were done in final item list will be automatically cancelled when time expires (gold will arrive in mailbox). Update: BMAH NPC will not be added back yet, there are few other issues we need to take care of first

Might create some "MOP PvE quests" for 5.2, but it's currently only in idea level. Everything depends if I will find time for this in the next weeks since all my focus is now on Throne of Thunder, Nalak, Oondasta, Isle of Giants mainly. If there are some other interesting ideas that are not mentioned in this thread yet, which involve mop encounters feel free to post them here

Fixed this part 1 hour ago, 1 group already completed the encounter; Closed.

Applied same logic I used in Terrace of Endless Spring (Sha of Fear Heroic), have received zero complains that boss did not teleport or something..... this should fix the issue on Garrosh. In any case would appreciate some feedback about it. Will try to apply fix today on x100, if not - will be tomorrow after morning restart.

Quests will be available tomorrow together with server update, forgot to change their patch status last night, did it only for Creatures and GameObjects unfortunately

Done. Will be applied after update.

No problem, since it's for event which happens once a year I'll add them. They will be in their locations tomorrow after morning restart.

Will check today

Couldn't reproduce and no additional information was provided. Still, made few small changes, will be applied after update.

Reworked, check after update.
