Feeling a bit chilly? Then I guess it’s a good thing we’ve got the latest round of hotfixes for Patch 6.1!

These are just a few points of interest from today’s changes:

• The Darkmoon Faire sanctuary zone (which used to just consist of the actual faire and the path leading down to it from the portal) has been expanded to cover the entire island. There will be no more killing unless it’s within the arena inside the fairgrounds during the Darkmoon Deathmatch.
• The developers continue to work toward making cosmetic items more shapeshifter-friendly
• During the Blackhand encounter in Blackrock Foundry, players should no longer take more damage than intended from falling during the transition to the second phase.
•  To make diminishing returns for crowd control effects more consistent and predictable, diminishing returns now have a reset window of 18 seconds.
• Fixed an issue where using S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera while under the effects of Photo B.O.M.B. would incorrectly provide access to S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera MkII filters.
