Not that anyone should be surprised, but the first round of in-game bug fixes for patch 3.2 are out. These fixes were announced tonight, however they might not be completely active until the servers undergo maintenance tomorrow.
There are many, many bugs this patch. Some are more obvious than others, like XT not being doable for most folks. Others are more subtle, like Wintergrasp Commendations being able to be sent to alts, who then were able to take them into Battlegrounds and level like mad.
The full list of fixes announced today after the break. We'll continue to bring you these in-game fixes as Blizzard announces them over the next week (or longer, if things are really bad).

XT was insane last night (25 man). First try over at the side..wtf, spawns right next to him -wipe. 2nd try, tank in the middle, too many adds/not enough ranged - wipe. Switch some melee to ranged, get nerf scrapbots achievement (lol), ranged running too far away from healers - wipe. 4th and final go before the RL had a nervous breakdown, we downed him.
Raid called for the night - thank god. It was interesting playing wow again without mods. Xperl, dbm, decursive were giving lua errors galore and had to be switched off, adding more intensity to the fight. Fortunately bartender was ok and I didn't have to play with the terribad Blizz UI lol.

One person in my channel saw a Loch Modan crocolisk in 1k Needles. It got up this whole discussion about monster displacements and people joking about the Lich King appearing somewhere. One of my friends who has a rare mob addon joked,
"ooh! Look! Rare mob!"
*aggroes*
"APOCALYPSE!!!!!"
"OSHI-"

My server is back up and I checked The Edge of Ruin axe that dropped yesterday for me in the Trial and the stats are still the same. The weapon damage on it does not match up to a 219 item as it says it is. Do the changes apply to new drops of the item?

My raid group tried hard mode for the first time last night. We killed the heart, but our ranged DPS couldn't take out all of the adds before we were overwhelmed. There were at least ten boombots, dozens of scrapbots, and a few pummelers in the first add wave. The nerf scrapbots achievement was instantaneous when we took down the first bomb bot.

How about the Argent Tournament Mount Lances disappearing. I have had my argent lance and my horde lance disappear after turning the dailies... I can't even get a new one from the lance stand.

And Exorism has a cast time - oh wait, some idiot intentionally put it there. (Note, I am being sarcastic)

Sorry fellow Survival hunters, all our talents were sneakily refunded to us this a.m. Good if you were looking to upgrade respec into MM...annoying if you are still Survival.

Oh Hobo.. you don't know the half of it. I play a Horde hunter on Cairne. Yeah they gave me back my talent points re did them.. it's all good. The problem came because I was dual spec'd survival..
Note the WAS.. according to the game.. not anymore. I can't switch specs at all.. Now I use it (mode switching) rarely so I looked up how to do it again.. Just In Case. Still no glory. I've had a ticket in since hmm 4-5 days ago and still no response from a gm.

haha my 10man XT decided it was going to attempt its first Heartbreaker last night, the main 10man is pushing hardmodes out of almost every boss... us not so much. we were amazed to see that even with the pug that we had to bring in we still got the heart down without hero, then.... this happened..."OMGWTF... WHY ARE THERE SO MANY ADDS!!" "HOLY SHI- WE CANT DO THIS!" and so on and so on.... even though it was our first attempt we still got him to 50% after the heart died with the extra adds... it was interesting haha.
