We had to make a change to the new warlock summoning mechanic at the last second to prevent an exploit. Our apologies to all the law-abiding warlocks who have to suffer with a painful cooldown on your summon in order to fix this problem. We plan on getting the Ritual working correctly as soon as possible. You won't have to put up with a 2 minute cooldown for more than a few days. Standard caveats apply that this could change for any number of reasons, but we wanted to keep you informed of our plans at this time.

Yeah I don't think I will hold my breath on that one.

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a site of ' hot xxx galore'.
"'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!" quoth the server, 404.

I'm wondering the same. How can such an abuse which seems fairly severe not only make it through the internal testing rounds, about a month on PTR (that part of the changes at least), and then they revoke it just before launch?

That's honestly slacking, and I'm not the first to come with critics towards Blizzard because I do believe they do a wonderful job, but #!**ing up a supposed "improvement" to the point that they screw up a spell completely is surprising.
Why not remove the friggen cooldown while you wait and get it hotfixed? o_O

PLZ for the love of god blizz, keep summon on a 2 min CD. that way i can just kick the tards who alwys EXPECT to get a summon.

ppl srsly need to learn to move to the instance. instead of lettin gother ppl do that while they sit "afk" in dalaran waiting for a summon.

What about the other warlocks bugs that should have been easily identified in a testing phase.

Poor effort
