Kilrogg Deadeye
Players that die during the Vision of Death phase should no longer have Spirit of Redemption or Purgatory triggered once the phase has ended and result in the player actually dying.
Gorefiend
Fixed an issue where a player can travel slower than intended if they receive a buff to their movement speed while they are on route to the stomach phase.
Socrethar the Eternal
Fixed an issue where transitioning between phases multiple times could cause adds from phase 2 of the encounter to sometimes incorrectly spawn in phase 1.
Archimonde
Archimonde's Shadowfel Burst now deals 900,000 damage (down from 1,500,000) on Mythic difficulty.
Items
[Hotfix in testing] Chipped Soul Prism now has Strength and Agility in addition to Intellect, and is obtainable and usable by all classes.
[Hotfix in testing] Mark of Supreme Doom now has Intellect in addition to Agility and Strength, and is obtainable and usable by all classes. Additionally, we've increased the amount of Avoidance, Speed, and Leech by 75%.

Warcraft Movie
The Legendary panel at Comic-Con is Saturday at 2:30 p.m. in Hall H, and the Warcraft movie will be part of the lineup. While we can’t really talk about the panel, if you’re at Comic-Con, trust us—you’ll want to be there. Additional information on lining up for Hall H can be found in this lovely guide that our friends at Geek & Sundry have put together.
You’ll also want to stop by the Legendary and Weta booths for a glimpse at the larger-than-life King Llane and Orgrim statues, movie props, and for signings with the cast and crew of the film. Find out more at the Legendary site.
Warcraft: Skies of Azeroth
Legendary has released a new VR mobile app: Warcraft: The Skies of Azeroth, an immersive experience created in partnership with Industrial Light & Magic. They’ve also partnered with Google to distribute Google Cardboard headsets for Comic-Con attendees to use with the app.
Warcraft Graphic Novel
Setting the stage for the Warcraft movie, Legendary Comics revealed the official graphic novel prequel Warcraft: Bonds of Brotherhood.
This thrilling adventure of bravery, bloodshed and brotherhood is an original story conceived by Chris Metzen, written by the award-winning Paul Cornell (Doctor Who) and featuring art from Mat Broome (Batman: No Man's Land, WildC.A.T.S, Witchblade).
Warcraft: Bonds of Brotherhood will be released in May 2016 in the weeks before the movie hits theaters on June 10th.
Gear Store-Con Sale
Even if you’re not in San Diego, you can still reap the rewards! During the convention the Blizzard Gear Store is offering free shipping on orders over $70 USD. And if you were lucky enough to get one of the Epic Purple lanyards last year, disenchant that thing immediately . . . you just got an upgrade! Along with free shipping we’ll send you a Legendary lanyard gift with your purchase.
If you’re coming to see us at Comic-Con we’re selling a few exclusives that will be limited per-day, and tickets will be distributed on a first-come first-served basis. If you receive a ticket for the item you want you can come back any time to pick your item up. Come back when there’s no line, and we’ll have your items waiting for you. If you’re hoping to get one of these we recommend arriving early—they go fast.
Our convention exclusives will also be showing up at some future conventions like BlizzCon, but if you’re at Comic-Con, these are something you’ll want to look out for, as their availability is limited.
Bonus loot: If you spend over $70 with us at our Comic-Con booth we’ll give you this giant Hearthstone bag* to help you carry it!
We also have a few new items on the Gear Store that you can buy right now! Stitches plush available at our Comic-Con booth. Coming to the Blizzard Gear Store Soon™.
Become Legendary
You can receive a FREE Legendary lanyard* if you’re at Comic-Con!
Head to the Blizzard booth (Hall A #115) during the last 2 hours of each day to get a Legendary lanyard! All you have to do is take a photo of you and two friends with anything Blizzard at the convention and post it to Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram using the hashtag #BlizzardGear. Show up at our booth during the last two hours of the Exhibit Hall hours each day (full schedule), show us your post, and receive a Legendary lanyard*!
*One per guest. While supplies last.
Grommash Statue Will Conquer Your Home
The Grommash Hellscream statue is on display at our Comic-Con booth in its fully painted glory! If you can’t stop by to see it for yourself, owning it is certainly the next best thing.
Pre-orders are open, and as the seconds tick by you have an ever-decreasing chance to be able to display one of these limited-production statues as the centerpiece of your geek kingdom.
Just Announced!
Coming to the Gear Store
We just wrapped up our Blizzard Entertainment Showcase panel, during which we revealed this little video of some of our newly released products, as well as a few things we’re still working on.
Warcraft Chronicle: Volume 1
Also revealed was an upcoming book exporing the lore, stories, and settings of Azeroth: Warcraft Chronicle. This first volume will go all the way back to the creation of the Warcraft universe through Warcraft: Orcs and Humans. Featuring never-before-seen artwork by Peter Lee, this holistic look back at the history of Warcraft will bring Azeroth's stories to new visual life.

As I've said before, we don't think improving racial balance will suddenly prompt a ton of Alliance players to transfer to Horde. We don't really expect this change to have a huge effect on Alliance queue times, which is fine, because that's not why we made it. We're looking into other options to help that issue.
Quick followup: we've got a hotfix in the works to correct the bug where the Alliance Conquest vendors aren't selling the Adaptation (Versatility) Medallion, and the Horde Conquest vendors aren't selling the Cruelty (Critical Strike) Medallion. The hotfix is still in testing, but our goal is to get that out today.
Looks like this hotfix is rolling out now. These trinkets should be available on all realms shortly (if they're not already).
Will Blizzard be offering free faction transfers in an attempt to balance the factions?
I'll bring it up. It's worth noting that we've done that before and it really wasn't very effective. I think most people look at free transfers as something other people will do. "Once free transfers open, everyone else will leave and I, my guild, and my friends will be fine right here."
I don't get to make these sorts of decisions, so don't take this as anything more than me asking way more important people what they think. But I'll bring it up. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

HS is a game played in WoW's inns, thus HS's things exist, but may not be "real" per se. Like you buying a Transformers toy. (Muffinus)
Garrisons
Why nerf the arcane constructs from the mage tower? It's no longer possible to use them to jump up onto the Ashran Portal tower.
It's a bug, result of a fix that caused people to fall through the world, fixed in small patch. (Muffinus)
Warcraft Movie Prequel
Christie Golden had some news to share today as well:
Mythic Xhul'horac Kill Video
Method has released their Mythic Xhul'horac kill video.
