classicwow
half my abilitys disspare when i hit a loading screen,
like title says, i can bring it back by relogging or switching spec,
anyone know how to fix it since having to relog or re swtiching spec before every dougeon is really annoying
Discussion
I had that issue going into dungeons yesterday, I fix it by swapping specs and then going back to the one before, this was in MOP
yeah but my tank has to wait for me to respec, and they never do so they just run in a die and flame me
Hahahaha yeah I know that feeling but at least there’s a fix while they fix it, hopefully soon
Classic has had its many glitches and most of them were tolerable. But this pre-patch is pushing it to the edge of killing the fun.
Blizzard really has massive issues.
Agree, I've played this game for almost 20 years, but Classic MoP prepatch is one of the buggiest state I had to play in. Started a pandaren monk and since then I had hearthstone keeps resetting to default location bug, proc audio effect keeps echoing multiple times bug (super annoying), losing my xp buff upon zoning in / out of instances, Herbalism stuck at 100 skill bug, monk teleport ability sometimes doesn't reset upon return so casting it the next time takes you to the place of the first cast instead of the monastery, fist weapon visual bug in offhand, can't change pandaren hair color at the barber because the option doesn't exist. That's just one week of playing.
Is herbalism fixed yet? I haven’t bothered since realizing it was borked
I heard they fixed it today but haven't checked out for myself yet.
Cata prepatch was way worse. The spellbook was totally broken.
my workaround for the monk teleport is to use the portal to your faction's city, that usually enables the return ability, which you can then use to actually return to your old location
I had the proc sound spam happen on my druid for predatory swiftness and clear casting. It was so annoying that I ended up finding a weak aura that disables annoying sounds like train, chopper mount etc - then I modified that with those two sounds.
Cata pre-patch was way worse. Mind Spike was in my professions tab and I had no Mind Flay.
Yea, the daycare at blizzard is probably the most egregious ive seen.
I mean Retail has been just as bad lately when it comes to bugs. Its nice we have all these options but its clear none of their stuff has QA and if they do its barebones. There is no way they are putting a lot of resource on testing these classic drops. Its going to remain this way until something happens to force their hand and that comes down to the playerbase and a financial disruption.
thankfully there's not alot of content to do, so there is still time to fix it
Blizz acknowledged the bug and is digging in to it:

It's shocking -- and genuinely a bit funny -- how broken this patch is, considering it's a version of the game that came out over 10 years ago, and we're supposedly jumping straight to the end of its most "complete" state.
I really wonder what's going on over there. Ending SoD, then making so MANY changes to MoP, it just all feels super weird.
Get your abilities Prozac
You’re a paladin. You don’t need all those buttons, surely?
xdd i think my tank will be upset if i dont have any heals on my actionbar
Hahaha weirdly i dont have any heals on my bar, i only use the addon healbot, its really really useful
Weirdly it does this to me, i switch my spec back to tank then back to dps and its fine after. Try it!
someone figured out what happend "Apparently it has to do with having dual-spec and only happens on the second spec. Primary spec works fine."
Best but still annoying solution; swap specs to the spec you don’t want before you queue for dungeon, that way when you get in, you only have to swap once (and drink up once)
/reload
This happened to me too, I joined a dungeon and all my bars were messed up so I just left because I wasn't gonna make everyone wait for me. And had to eat the 30 min deserter debuff
Definitely something with the secondary spec.
I changed my main spec to what I had as my secondary spec and the issue resolved
Does it still happen with macros? If not, do it to everything.
abilities
disappear
I found this happening on my monk until I choose a specializion for both specs. After that I was able to swap back and forth without the buttons resetting.
So it swaps to your other specs action bar but doesnt actually swap your spec. Just rebuild your action bar on the bugged one and should be fine
It's something to do with the local cache on your computer need to delete your character from the folder and setup the ui again
tired that, same problem
It’s not, known issue with second spec
No it's not.
lol I skimmed and saw delete character and agree with this
It's a known bug that happens when zoning while in your secondary spec.
Try /reload and see if they come back
Do you by chance have the Addon "gearquipper"? It's been known to cause this issue as well.
Go see a doctor this is Reddit
There was a time when, as a healer, I had to do a /reload for every guy who joined the raid (or when one left).
You get used to it, I think you're all just spoiled at the moment :p
either satire or stockholm syndrom
The first one
Having the same problem.
Edit: Apparently it has to do with having dual-spec and only happens on the second spec. Primary spec works fine.
xdd, how tf does a game they alreaedy finished and realsed have so many bugs in it,
not to mention my "infusion of light" plays the sound q over and over again making my ears bleed
I think all spell alerts do that.
its not the same exact client that the og one, we have more features and changes,.they don't just ctrl c ctrl v, they pretty much re do based on old data and assets. And let's not forget the classic team is a small one compared to other games, so who knows but probably the intern had the job to code the monk lmao.
To be clear swapping specs and going back to your 2nd spec does fix the bars, they have it listed as a known issue
yes i said that in the post
Mainly just adding on that it’s a known issue, obviously not ideal but I just chill in my main spec and then it’s just a swap to your secondary when you need it/load into dungeon so you aren’t doing 2 swaps at least
Touch grass
?
Because this isn't the same game that has been released and finished ages ago. It's an imitation of the original game on a different hardware using different software. It's not just your client, mind you.
Because for the most part they have rebuilt every expansion from the ground up
Did you not play cata pre patch? Nothing worked, and I mean nothing. It might as well of been a lobby game because everything was broken.
They pulled the entire retail dev team over to help fix it
Smol indie company
The shareholders must come first.
Just take a look at current blizzard employees group photos versus 2005 blizzard employees group photos and you will quickly identify the problem
I assume this is some asmonbald rage bait
You're complaining that your addon is not working, not that the game isn't working. lol
Dual Spec being broken and resetting your bars if you're using the second spec isn't an addon issue.
And what addon is that? Because both things are happening without any add-ons
have you tried doing .save
idk what that is, i'm super casual
just type .save, it works on newer wows and it saves ui settings
the ui settings are saved because it can recover them when you switch specs and back or relog, the issue is its failing to load the contents of the bars when the ui initializes after hitting a load screen (other than initial login).
i ended up downloading an addon called ActionBarSaver and you can save and restore your action bar layout with chat commands so its faster than switching specs and back every time you take a queue, portal, zepplin, boat etc.
Remember jab? Your favorite ability? Well it’s back !
