Another day, another round of hotfixes for patch 4.2. Today's list is just a series of small tweaks to various mobs, quests and creatures scattered around Azeroth, as well as an adjustment to wine distribution. Wait ... what?
- Bottle of Dalaran Red, Bottle of Aged Dalaran Red, Cask of Dalaran Red, and Cask of Aged Dalaran Red should no longer award the player the next tier of Dalaran Red when placed on the ground.
- Alliance and Horde players are able to teleport to Anachronos as many times as they wish even after abandoning and re-accepting the quest A Legendary Engagement.
- Players will no longer go invisible in Uldum during the quest Premature Explosionation. If players log out or disconnect during the cutscene, they will return to Khartut's Tomb instead of being ported to a nearby graveyard.
Follow after the break for the full list of hotfixes.

Patch 4.3? Really? Either my brain's not working well or...I'm sure we're in patch 4.2 and patch 4.3 can't come soon enough o.o
Dan O'Halloran Sep 14th 2011 4:36PM
Yes, they are for 4.2. Sorry for the confusion. We got 4.3 on the brain!
Klausse Sep 14th 2011 4:32PM
Hotfixes for 4.3? I'm confused... o.O
Klausse Sep 14th 2011 4:38PM
Ah all is right with the world again! This post has been hotfixed.
ShammyMan Sep 14th 2011 4:35PM
Probably meant Patch 4.2?

More proof that Blizzard is catering to the connoisseurs! Well, they've lost a subscription today. I will not stand by and let my wine be nerfed!

Those responsible for sacking the people responsible have been sacked.

... why am I now thinking of some slightly wowing fake mexican music?

That Firelands hotfix was a... pleasant surprise when we tried to fight those packs. Ouch.

I had read about it when they put that into effect last week and my raid still ignored me when I told them we needed to dps them slow and kill the animators fast. I tried to shadowmeld but I got kited to /cry

"The Brunnhildar transformation in the Storm Peaks should again be applied correctly to flying characters, and will not cause mounted characters to dismount. The transformation should not affect druids in Flight Form."
Interesting. I was having trouble with this a couple of weeks ago. I left Brunnhildar Village to kill yetis, lost my disguise, and could NOT get it back to complete the quest. :P

This is the first time I've heard of a problem with the Brunnhildar disguise, but I have had problems with K3 Bruisers suddenly being targetable.
These changes to "obsolete" content REALLY makes me wonder how the Deathwing Raid is going to play out in Northrend.

@Hob
Oooh... Good catch there. Something is definitely happening in Northrend.
Nitride Sep 14th 2011 7:57PM
Blizz will nerf how much XP is required to go from 70 to 80 via Nothrend in patch 4.3. Thus they must be testing that area. Thus they found bugs.
QED.

I actually had problems there on my lock over the weekend. I didn't notice at first either, ran into the building where my quest turn ins were located, didn't end well for me

@Nitride
Please to shut up now. I like my delusions unspoiled by reality.

It has been rather interesting in there. I recently got the dragon form from the archaeology Sands Of Time item. Working on that darn polar bear mount, and when I fly in, the dragon form goes away. I am left in human pally form (my true form), in mid air, 'swimming' at 380% or whatever speed.
Kinda fun.
Was, that is.
