WORLD OF WARCRAFT 6.0.3 HOTFIXES: DECEMBER 16TH and 17TH

by - 9 years ago

Another round of hotfixes for Warlords of Draenor. The biggest news in the last 2 days is that the Satchel of Savage Mysteries now has a guaranteed chance to award a piece of heroic dungeon loot (iLevel 630 rare) for the character’s specialization. This is in response to the really bad queue times people are seeing for heroic dungeons currently to entice basically more tanks to queue.

The Butcher in Highmaul now has a chance to drop a Green Winter Hat.

And most important of all… the Darkmoon Faire will now show up on the calendar for 2015! 😉

You can read the latest hotfix patch notes here:

December 16

Garrisons, Followers, and Outposts

  • Garrison Buildings
    • A hotfix in testing from December 11 for the Inn has been implemented. The achievement, Stay Awhile and Listen now only requires the character to complete 10 of the 20 Inn quests (down from all 20).

Creatures and NPCs

  • Shadowmoon Valley
    • Yggdrel now deals less damage with the Entangling Vine ability.

Dungeons, Raids, and Scenarios

  • [Hotfix currently in-testing] Messages for obtaining an Augment Rune are no longer broadcasting to the party or raid group.
  • Raids
    • Highmaul
      • Tectus’ health has been reduced by about 15% when the raid is scaled to 10 players on Raid Finder, Normal, and Heroic difficulties. As the raid scales up to a maximum of 30 players, Tectus’ health for 30 players remains roughly unchanged from before this hotfix.

Professions

  • Enchanting
    • [Hotfix currently in-testing] Mark of Blackrock can no longer trigger its effect for the first 40 seconds after equipping the weapon.

UI

  • Resolved an issue where having a player join the Dungeon Finder or Raid Finder group just as another player was leaving could cause the button to queue up for additional players to remain greyed out for the rest of the group.
  • Resolved an issue where the Darkmoon Faire was not showing up in the in-game calendar past December 2014.

December 17

Garrisons, Followers, and Outposts

  • Garrison Buildings
    • Frostwall Mines: Mine Guards should now scale with the player’s character level.
    • Frostwall Mines Level 3: Mine Guards now have significantly more health and damage.

Classes

  • Mage
    • Talents
      • Prismatic Crystal now transfers only 75% of total damage on Critical Hits, and transfers only 50% of total damage on Multistrikes while in PvP combat.
  • Warlock
    • Destruction
      • [Hotfix currently in-testing] Havoc now has a base cooldown of 20 seconds (down from 25 seconds).

Creatures and NPCs

  • Zidormi in Dustwallow Marsh should now correctly send players back in time to visit old Theramore.

Dungeons, Raids, and Scenarios

  • Satchel of Savage Mysteries now has a guaranteed chance to award a piece of Heroic Dungeon loot (item level 630 rare) appropriate for the character’s loot specialization.
    • Developer Commentary: We’re aware of excessive queue times for Heroic Dungeons. To help players have a better experience in Dungeon Finder, we’re expanding the rewards for Satchel of Savage Mysteries to award Heroic Dungeon loot in addition to the guaranteed Augment Rune, and a chance to contain a mount, Follower enhancement token, Battle Pet, or Battle-Stone. The satchel will remain Bind on Account and we’ll continue to monitor Dungeon Finder queues and iterate as needed to ensure a great experience for everyone.
  • Raids
    • Highmaul
      • The Butcher now has a chance to drop a Green Winter Hat.
      • Brackenspore: Elements of the fight, such as hostile fungus and beneficial mushrooms should now be visible from further away during the encounter on Mythic difficulty.
      • Twin Ogron: Resolved a situation where pulling Twin Ogron and having them despawn could cause the Imperator Mar’gok encounter to not work correctly on Mythic difficulty.
