WoW

A new set of hotfixes have gone out this evening, and a new set of notes have been released. These hotfixes are in addition to the new patch build that was released earlier today, and include several bug fixes and garrison adjustments as well as a few tweaks to old dungeons and a few items.

A small new build was released this afternoon that may result in some realms being listed as incompatible. If this is the case for you, you'll want to shut down World of Warcraft and the Battle.net launcher and restart them to download and apply the patch.

The Cindermane Charger -- a mount that looks suspiciously like a recolored Hearthsteed with extra particle effects -- has been added to the Recruit-a-Friend reward pool for World of Warcraft today.

"I recruited a follower at the Lunarfall Inn yesterday, and it turned out to be my long-lost twin!" writes submitter Aelussa of Cenarion Circle (US-A).

A new batch of hotfixes have been released for patch 6.1 today, including a whole host of adjustments for nearly every class, bug fixes, achievements adjustments and much more.

The Enhancement problems come down to three basic issues: too much emphasis on area damage, not enough meaningful and impactful cooldowns, and too many buttons to rotate through normally. As cool as the spec is, we wind up feeling unwieldy and tuned for a role we didn't really ask for.

On Friday, February 27, at 11:00am Pacific, Lead Game Designer Ion "Watcher" Hazzikostas will be answering questions about dungeons and raids in Warlords of Draenor on the World of Warcraft Twitch stream.

"You know that Gnomish Gearworks and all its really neat little toys?" writes submitter Arugadh of Deep Forest Caravan on Wyrmrest Accord (US-A). "My gnome Pyrabola was playing with the Robo-Rooster and discovered that it had no limit to the amount of chickens you could summon."

Proving that there's no rest for the weary, we've already got our first round of hotfixes after this week's patch 6.1 rollout. On offer: an awful lot of bug fixes. Read on for the complete details.
