Patch 6.2 Hotfixes - August 3

Garrisons
Naval Missions

• An Expert Captain threat can now be fully countered by 2 Pandaren Crews or 2 assist ship equipment (Ammo Reserves, Automated Sky Scanner, Extra Quarters, Noisemaker Mines, and Sonic Amplification Field).

Quests
Legendary Ring Quest Line

• [Hotfix in testing] Master vs. Commander: Fixed an issue that could cause legendary naval missions needed to obtain a Draenic Sea Chart to not show up correctly.

Raids and Dungeons
Hellfire Citadel
General

• Corrected an issue where bonus roll loot tables for Tyrant Velhari and Fel Lord Zakuun's got swapped on Raid Finder difficulty.

Kilrogg Deadeye

• Health of adds for the encounter have been reduced by roughly 20% for raid groups with 10 players on Normal and Heroic difficulty. This should help with the difficulty experienced by smaller raid groups losing their DPS when sending players down into the death phase. The health of adds scales back up and should be remain roughly unchanged from before as raid group size increases.

Gorefiend

• Players who die to Digest or from fatal damage while in the stomach phase in the Gorefiend encounter should now be able to be resurrected once their bodies are teleported back outside.

PvP
Ashran

• Fixed an issue that could incorrectly cause player pet health to increase while in the center lane in Ashran.

Items

• Reduced the chance to obtain bonus Felblight.

Achievements

• Naval Siege Specialist: Fixed an issue where certain naval siege missions wasn't granting credit towards the achievement.

Classes
Monk (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator)
Armor Sets

• Tier-18 4-piece set bonus for Mistweaver Monks now also works on friendly non-player targets as well.

Everbloom Exploit Fixed
Blizzard has fixed the Everbloom exploit that allowed you to skip to the last boss just in time for the end of this weekend's bonus event.

Blue Tweets

Character / Items
is there any plan to fix player inventory? Bank & VS = full. Can't quest anymore cause no where to put rewards.It's game breaking
Parden my ignorance, but what all are you keeping? I usually do a purge once per expac of old stuff. (Muffinus)
10 years of tier sets & holiday rewards pvp gear. X mog weapons. Why would I purge stuff Ive invested countless hours acquiring?
Sounds like a lot of wearable items! Hopefully we can address this soon. (Muffinus)

Ghostcrawler Tweets
While the developers have been pretty quiet since @WarcraftDevs appeared, Ghostcrawler still occasionally talks about WoW. Remember that he no longer works for or speaks for Blizzard.

Riot wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Blizzard. The only reason is a game is because of Warcraft III customs.
True story. And the War3 editor was based on the Starcraft editor. (OccupyGStreet)

Bashiok Joins NCSOFT
Bashiok started at NCSOFT today as a Senior Content Manager. NCSOFT is the publisher for Wildstar, Aion, Blade & Soul, and other games.

FinalBoss #91 - Warlords and Beyond
Final Boss sat down with a number of players to talk about Warlords of Draenor and the future.

[MadamSerenity]

Kinda funny that we got Stephan Frost from WildStar, and Bash leaves for NCSoft.

[camros]

"I keep getting kicked because I refuse to exploit." WAAAH WAAAAH WAAAAAAH. Cry me a fucking river.

[Dasn]

great, more Greg "Literally Who" Street tweets no one cares about

[Sayerel]

"Remember that he no longer works for or speaks for Blizzard."

Then why continue to post Ghostcrawler tweets?

[Nerraw]

Insight into the mind of a game developer. And one who used to work on WoW. People complain about the lack of transparency. And now they complain about too much transparency. There's no pleasing some people.

[Shureshot75]

So, with everyone exploiting Everbloom, Blizz decides to release news of the fix on your fail twitter account instead of with the official hotfix notes.

The idiots at blizz can't do anything right, can they?

[Keile]

"I keep getting kicked because I refuse to exploit." WAAAH WAAAAH WAAAAAAH. Cry me a fucking river.

Guy had a valid point. It's BS to be kicked from a group because you refused to Cheat/Exploit/Break The Game, however you want to call it.

Sure they can, they can FIX THE EXPLOIT.

DUH!

Who cares where they announce the fix as long as it's done.

Community website cares about what people have to say that were the face of the game we all love/hate. Thats my logic anyway.

[Gnosk]

Bashiok left blizzard for...ncsoft? LOL.

That's a huge demotion! maybe blizzard pushed him out the door?

[parkerlewis]

Kilrogg nerf is a welcome change for smaller groups, that fight was a PITA with 11-12 people and very noticeably easier with 15+

[SinR]

so are we going to see non-stop Michah Whipple tweets now, like we did with Greg Street?

[ls-]

Maybe that's cuz of B&S launch, maybe dude is into oiled bodies and thunder thighs, I can't judge him for this though...

[chaud]

Nope. We don't have automated tracking of CM tweets, as they are almost always not newsworthy. He is also not a game designer and not talking about WoW. This is likely the last time we will cover him unless something interesting appears.

[zoenova]

Will never ever play another NCsoft Title after they shut down Dungeon Runners the best MMO ever

- - - Updated - - -

Probably more money but not really a job promotion lol

- - - Updated - - -

Greg aka Ghostscrawler Street was alway my least favorite dev at blizzard.

It's not an exploit. It's a reward for proving your mountain climbing skills.

[Kathranis]

That's a huge demotion! maybe blizzard pushed him out the door?

He went from Community Manager to Senior Content Manager. Most likely a salary bump, more responsibilities and new challenges. And he won't have to deal with miserable fucks every day of the week.

[RuneDK]

Wish that exploit wasn't fixed...

[TheRabidDeer]

I sort of agree, it's just that there are 7 other dungeons you can run instead of everbloom and not have to worry about that at all. And as far as I know, there is no reason to want to specifically run everbloom.

I loved the exploit just because of how painful it is trying to run 4 full mythic dungeons on my main and all of the alts. If it were a weekly thing instead of a weekend thing it would be easier to complete.
