August 16th Hotfixes

by - 8 years ago

The list of hotfixes for patch 7.0.3 has been updated with the most recent changes, which includes a change to the amount of experience points players receive from Demon invasions.

This change was implemented as a result of the increasing frequency of invasions, so while players receive less experience per invasion it is ultimately a net gain of experience points per hour from invasions.

Another change which will allow players to continue increasing their item level is the added chance for Fel Infused (invasion) pieces to be Warforged.

For the full list of changes check out the list below or on the Warcraft community site and let us know what you think in the comment section.
