Patch 6.0.3 Hotfixes for January 9

by Anne Stickney Jan 10th 2015 at 2:00PM

The weekend brought another small release of hotfixes for Patch 6.0.3. The list may be short, but there are a few different notes in there that players should take note of. On the list are a few PvP battleground changes, an adjustment to Ashran, and a few fixes and changes to various creatures around the world as well. Also, while it's not specifically mentioned in this round of hotfixes, it appears as though a hotfix was applied to allow Big Crates of Salvage to stack.

Players camping Poundfist take note: Poundfist is now immune to crowd-control effects.
Trapping will now award a caged beast for each nearby party member with an appropriate level barn -- this hotfix requires a realm restart.
The northern track switch in Silvershard Mines should now work correctly.

The latest round of hotfixes didn't roll out on the official hotfix blog, but resident Blizzard CM Rygarius made a series of tweets on Twitter that outlined the hotfixes with a note that since there is no update to the hotfix blog, he wanted to get the information out before the weekend. On the list are some PvP adjustments, as well as a fix to the transmog armor acquired from the Dwarven Bunker or War Mill.

by Anne Stickney Jun 18th 2014 at 12:00PM

A short list of hotfixes for patch 5.4.8 have been released and posted to the official blog.

Patch 5.4.7 hotfixes for May 13, 14

by Anne Stickney May 17th 2014 at 2:00PM

This week's bout of information on the upcoming 5.4.8 patch has taken most of the interest this week, but there were still hotfixes released for patch 5.4.7 as well. Most of the changes addressed various bugs, rather than any major adjustments -- given that the next patch is on the PTR, it's likely we won't be seeing much more in the way of major notes until 5.4.8 is released.

Patch 5.4.7 hotfixes for May 2

by Anne Stickney May 3rd 2014 at 2:00PM

A small batch of hotfixes for patch 5.4.7 were released and posted to the official website yesterday. The hotfixes primarily concern the Garrosh Hellscream encounter on Flexible difficulty -- specifically, breakpoint concerns regarding the encounter should be alleviated with the new adjustments.

May 2

Raids, Dungeons, and Scenarios

Siege of Orgrimmar
- Garrosh Hellscream
  - [Requires a realm restart.] Garrosh Hellscream now only targets 2 players with Touch of Y'Shaarj and Empowered Touch of Y'Shaarj regardless of raid size on Flexible difficulty. Previously, the number of players targeted by the ability scale from 2 to 4, resulting in a harsh breakpoint for groups with 17-18 players.
  - [Requires a realm restart.] Touch of Y'Shaarj and Empowered Touch of Y'Shaarj cast times have been increased to 3.5 seconds (up from 2.5 seconds) on Flexible difficulty.

Battlegrounds and Arenas

Elder Lin and Elder Liao now have significantly more health.
[Requires a realm restart.] Elder Lin and Elder Liao will now respawn much more quickly.

Patch 5.4.7 hotfixes for April 14

by Anne Stickney Apr 15th 2014 at 10:00AM

A new round of hotfixes for patch 5.4.7 have been released and posted on the official blog. Most of the hotfixes from today involve old raid encounters and achievements -- including one fix that should please those just crazy enough to attempt the Insane in the Membrane achievement.

Rygarius

April 14

Raids, Dungeons, and Scenarios

Siege of Orgrimmar: Blackfuse Bombling should no longer be incorrectly awarded from the Spoils of Pandaria encounter.
Ice Crown Citadel: Resolved an issue that could prevent players from being able to loot The Lich King if NPCs dealt fatal damage to him.
The Eye: Additional safeguards have been added to the Kael'thas Sunstrider encounter that could cause him to sometimes not grant loot if he's defeated too quickly.

Achievements

Insane in the Membrane: Resolved an issue where Exalted status with the various Steamwheedle Cartel factions, as well as Honored status with the Bloodsail Buccaneers faction, were not properly being credited if those reputations subsequently decreased. Players should now be able to earn this achievement if they have ever brought those five reputations to the required levels.
