Hotfixes for June 24th

by JR Cook - 9 years ago     show comments

Today’s hotfix blog attacks some of the typical things you see the day after a major patch: fixes to buggy mechanics on raid bosses, last-minute tweaks for quests and missions, taking toys out of PVP… wait, no, really?

• Kormrok, Gorefiend, Shadow-Lord Iskar, Socrethar, Fel Lord Zakuun, and Archimonde have all had tweaks to fix elements of their encounters.
• Several quests related with naval missions have had their functionality fixed.
• There’s seriously a list of ten toys that can no longer be used while in a rated PVP match. Blizzard: nerfing fun since 2004! (EDITOR: CROW’S HUMOR IS BAD AND HE FEELS BAD FOR TYPING THIS)

Check out the hotfix blog for all of the recent hotfixes or look below for today’s additions.
