Patch 4.0.6 bug locks race-changed worgen out of dungeon finder

Patch 4.0.6, like all patches before it, brings surprises as well as the expected changes. Hopefully you leveled your worgen the old-fashioned way. If not, like me, you will be stuck unable to queue for any Cataclysm dungeon. At least right now, it appears that players who race-changed to worgen are experiencing the issue, with no reports of race-changed goblins or characters who were rolled at level 1 worgen or goblins having the issue. The bug locks you out of all dungeons, even ones you've obviously completed. I'm wearing gear from several dungeons I now can't do.
Bashiok - Random dungeon: have not completed required questThis appears to be a bug affecting specific characters which is keeping them from being able to queue with a "You have not completed the required quest" error, and we're in the process of investigating.
It looks like this may only affect Worgen characters, specifically those that race changed to Worgen before 4.0.6, but we're still investigating.

Well, at least now I can stop worrying about getting my daily valor points. Hopefully, the issue will be ironed out soon, because both of my level 85 worgen warriors are bored as heck right now.
Edit: As of 3:57 p.m. EST, this seems to have been hotfixed on at least some servers. I can now queue on both my worgen.

indeed finally we gonna be doing dungeons without worgens, you know like back in the day lol

LMAO seconded. So we thought there would be a lockout period on race changing to worgens. Turns out it's just a lockout for dungeon finder. Ooops. /roar.

Yesterday while on my Gnome Priest the rest of my team were Worgens. I guess dungeon finder decided to equip it's flea collar now?

Yea on my Human priest, I was running a dungeon (I forget which but it's low level because my priest is only 45) and my whole group was Worgen. Didn't notice until a while in when the mousing over unit frames finally gave me the info (I'm a healer).

Only you would have not one but TWO worgen warriors, Rossi. Was it the beards?

It's all Lord Vincent Godfrey's doing! *shakes paw in anger*

The more important question here is why in the world do you have two 85 alliance warriors?
jealouspirate Feb 8th 2011 2:43PM
While that question would usually be sensible, when referring to Matthew Rossi it makes more sense to ask "Why don't you have 3 level 85 Alliance Warriors?"
Wildstaff Feb 8th 2011 2:48PM
Why in the world wouldn't he? Everyone knows the alliance is the superior faction.
Kuro Feb 8th 2011 2:50PM
Come on... it takes time to level all those warrior alts, ya know? Soon he'll be back to his 10 level-capped warriors.
Matthew Rossi Feb 8th 2011 2:58PM
My current project is my level 35 worgen warrior. After he gets to 85 I'm thinking I'll level my worgen rogue for a chance of pace, then my draenei warrior, then my tauren warrior just cause I miss the hooves, and then my blood elf warrior.
Marshal Feb 8th 2011 3:05PM
Need more rage. Can't have enough rage.
Noyou Feb 8th 2011 7:31PM
@Rossi
What? no Gnome warrior? Nothing is as funny as him yelling out "no more rage" in all his Gnomish furor. I'm sure a Goblin warrior would have a similarly humorous plea.

May the force be with you, young Worgens.

Funny thing is, this was a VERY common glitch in beta. My guess someone used old code from beta to cut a corner and forgot about that little issue.

Lycanoplasty is unnatural and against the design of the Titans. I'm glad Blizzard has taken a stand against the practice.

Awesome comment!

See, and some people like to claim this game is easy. Heck no! A new challenge every day!
