Heroes Hotfix Patch Notes - February 18th 2015

Iron Docks Quest Chain Delayed
Bashiok confirmed that we won't see the Iron Docks quests in Patch 6.1. Keep in mind that it was never actually announced for Patch 6.1, a sign of it just happened to show up in a PTR build.

Lunar Festival
This year adds a few new items and modifies some older items. Be sure to check out the full guide on Icy Veins.

The Armor Casings for heirloom upgrades aren't in just yet, but they should go in with Patch 6.1 next week, so be sure to start saving up Lunar Coins.

Sounds like potential math fail on our end; thanks, will investigate. (WatcherDev)

Hello! We are having alot of problems with receiving 0 tokens from Blackhand kills. Ingame GM's say its RNG loot, what can we do?
(1) Blackhand currently offers a chance at universal set tokens-not a guarantee-with more chances as raid size increases. (WarcraftDevs)
(2) We’re discussing changing this, but not until next raid timer to avoid any advantage for kills later in the week. (WarcraftDevs)

Darkmoon Faire Race
with the shore strider if you mess up once it is impossible to get it done in 11 tolls & chances is it will come from the spring.
The races get progressively more advanced as time goes on. In months 2-4, you'll get more powers and more powerups. (Muffinus)

Reputation / Questing
some reps in WoD can't be increased from 0/1000 exalted to 999/1000. It's a minor thing but will we see it changed?
Appreciate the report! This bug is fixed in Patch 6.1. (WarcraftDevs)

Garrisons
Will Grand Master Draftsman achievement become account wide for 6.1?
No plans to make that account-wide at this time. (WarcraftDevs)

Hi! The Transmog-Ethereals in my Storehouse keeps moving around, interrupting my transmog-sessions. Could you make them stop?
They will be stationary in Patch 6.1. (WarcraftDevs)

Is there a reason my Tailoring Emporium vendors keep living in my salvage yard? Annoying to keep looking for them.
The Salvage Yard won't attract tailors anymore in 6.1. (WarcraftDevs)

Can we get some consistency with garrison mine carts? Horde respawn every 24 hours, Alliance respawn at 3 am.
This will be addressed in 6.1; mine carts will work the same for both Horde and Alliance once the patch goes live. (WarcraftDevs)

InstaDoom Mod
If you can't wait for the patch next week you can get your selfie fix with InstaDoom, a mod for Doom that adds a selfie stick and filters.

    Wod is a qq train in itself, so don't worry about it.

    From what you JUST wrote:

    It's a one-time quest chain that directly leads into events of 6.2, and that's the patch it's in

    Don't you think an intro chain to 6.2 should be in 6.2? Does that not make a lot more sense?
    Considering Bashiok was the one that originally said it was meant for 6.1 no, I don't think so. He's contradicting himself.

    So if Iron Docks was pushed back, and was meant to go with Tanaan, does this mean Tanaan was planned for 6.1?

    Assuming they have a plan at this point is probably not a good idea.

    At some point they just decided to wing it. I'm personally glad 6.1 won't have anything any it. All the more reason to stay unsubbed without temptation.

    Actually I don't think the title needs a change considering it's partly based off a previous quote from Bashiok, not the one announcing the push back of the Iron Dock quest/s for the record but the one talking about all the content we had yet to see implemented in the 6.1 PTR including the Iron Docks quest hub.

    Better have it in 6.2 and avoid the time gap.

    EDIT: I don't say I'm ok with that by the way, I understand the decision but I would like them to give us something back instead. I'm highly dissapointed of 6.1
    That's the whole point, the legendary has events that lead into the next patch and you have to wait for more story months down the line. He made the mistake of giving too much info, that it was moved. He immediately regretted saying that and is now in damage control. His second statement directly conflicts with his first and I'm amazed that some people are falling for it.

    Then where was it moved from? 6.3? Put down the kool aid.
