War Within and Classic Hotfixes: November 25th

Staff's Avatar by Staff

We have a solid hotfix batch today, both for retail and Season of Discovery.

In The War Within we see many changes to the secret felcycle series of puzzles and Guest Relations quests, making them easier. There’s also a Grim Batol fix for Throngus.

In Season of Discovery we have more tuning, this time both for items and classes.

  • Grim Batol
    • Fixed a Forgemaster Throngus issue where Fiery Flurry can be cancelled using line of sight.
