Hotfixes for December 9th

Garrisons, Followers, and Outposts

Garrison Buildings
- Barn: Increased the drop rates for Savage Blood from work orders.
- Dwarven Bunker / War Mill: Work orders now award more Iron Horde Scraps and increased the drop rates for Follower Enhancements.
- Gladiator's Sanctum: Characters can now accumulate up to a maximum of 5000 Broken Bones at a time.
- Salvage Yard: Salvage recovered from a Garrison Mission should now always contain an item.
- Trading Post: The Savage Friends achievement now only requires the character to become Exalted with 1 Draenor reputation (down from 3).
- Trading Post (Alliance): The Sha'tari Defense quartermaster now correctly offers the Sky Fry Battle Pet for sale at Revered reputation.

Classes

Druid
- General
  - Resolved an issue where Druids may sometimes lose Flight Form (and fall) when logging in or exiting from a Battleground or Arena match.
Hunter
- General
  - Kill Shot should now correctly reset its cooldown when it fails to kill the target due to Cauterize (Mage) or Guardian Spirit (Priest).
Mage
- Armor Sets
  - Mage Tier-16's 4-piece set bonus is no longer guaranteed to trigger for characters above level 90.
Warlock
- General
  - Dark Soul's cooldown should now work correctly when used in conjunction with the talent Archimonde's Darkness and Glyph of Dark Soul.

Quests

Spires of Arak
- Orders, Commander?: Resolved an issue where characters that have performed a faction change may be unable to complete the quest.

Dungeons, Raids, and Scenarios

Raids
- Highmaul
  - Iron Flame Technicians should no longer be incorrectly dropping Normal difficulty loot on Raid Finder difficulty.
  - The Butcher's Heavy Handed attack should now be correctly counted as an attack for abilities that require an attack to trigger its effects.
  - The Butcher should no longer become unresponsive if a Rogue in stealth gets too close.
  - Brackenspore: Unit frames for Living Mushrooms and Rejuvenating Mushrooms should now display properly.
  - Imperator Mar'gok: Arcane Aberrations that have been Banished should now continue to use Collapsing Entity.
  - Imperator Mar'gok: Added a portal transporting players back to The Coliseum from Throne of the Imperator after Imperator Mar'gok has been defeated.
Dungeons
- Shadowmoon Burial Grounds
  - The portal that appears after Ner'zhul has been defeated should now transport players back to the beginning of the Dungeon.

Battlegrounds and Arenas

The level 90 bracket has been merged into the level 91-99 bracket.
Priests should no longer be able to continue to hold onto the flag while in Spirit of Redemption form.
Rated Battleground flag carriers in a tanking specialization should no longer be taking more damage than flag carriers in a non-tanking specialization. Previously, flag carrying tanks took 50% more damage and that stacked with an additional 25% damage received while in RBGs (additional 75% damage received total). This change removes the 50% additional damage taken while carrying a flag in an RBG.

Professions

Enchanting
- Resolved an issue that could cause Enchanter's Illusions to be reverted from an item.

Items

General goods vendors across Draenor now offer Crystal Vials and Enchanting Vellums for sale.
Consumable items that summons a fast mount can no longer be used while in a Challenge Mode.
Elixir of Deep Earth now increases armor by 67 (down from 268).
Primal Spirit is now only eligible for Greed rolls in Need Before Greed loot mode.

* Did farm 3 factions exalted to unlock a level 3 blueprint. Now they reduce it to 1. Thank you for wasting my time for grinding all exalted Blizzard.
* Problems with Salvage Yard. Thank you for wasting my Boxes Blizzard.
* And then all the materials reduction for specific professions. Thank you for wasting my resources Blizzard.
* Barn suddenly have increased droprate. Thanks for wasting my resources (farmed boxes) Blizzard.

Next change will be droprate of the items that are needed for the remote-Auction-house (TradePost Level 2)???? Which is ridiclious atm. Completing : Univeral Language Module (Ashran/PVP mobs) takes now 3 years. Or about 200k gold (if you are lucky to find a part on the AH). Droprate is just nerfed on purpose to avoid us getting the remote Auctionhouse right away.

And then the fact that most of the professions are destroyed. Leveling up tailoring to 700 takes years. So many materials are needed to upgrade a 640 item to higher. The epic-craftable gear rarely sells now, prices are below breaking point. You can equip only 3-unique craftable-gear parts (which is ridiclious).
Jewelcrafters cannot prospect things. Guess I am now forced to enchanting and alchemy/herb to make a decent ammount of gold.

Regarding the change of droprates and required factions...I can fully understand that it is frustrating for people that put a lot of energy into their garrison to see their efforts go to "waste", shortly after they are finished. But this is just as much fine tuning as changing droprates or item stats. Opposite to the general opinion, Blizzard doesn't seem to do such things willy-nilly (yes, recent class changes are up to discussion). I would guess it's more a long-term adjustment.

As for the reputation, I can just quote a guildmate of mine: "What good is the 20% reputation bonus when I need to finish 3 of 5 factions before I can even get it?"

Uhm, tailoring to 700 takes years? I can maybe see your point if you're talking about from 1 to 700, but 600 to 700? My tailor hit 700 last week. Just have to be willing to not make epic crafted gear. I levelled pretty much off the daily cooldowns and the Hexweave reroll item. Doing your daily cooldowns and keeping your work orders full makes levelling tailoring pretty damn easy, and I actually made a return on levelling my profession for once, because I turned around and sold those hexweave reroll kits for 500g-700g, depending on the competition that day. Out of my crafters, only my engineer and scribe aren't up to 700 yet, engineering will be tomorrow. Inscription, that's the real bitch to level, because there aren't any recipes (that I'm aware of) that give more than 1 point above 600, like the other professions. That's stuck at something like 660. I could speed it up by making the omen cards instead of darkmoon cards with my daily mats, but the cards sell pretty well.

The amount of hyperbole in your post is amazing.

When you invest way too much time into the first couple of weeks there's always the risk this will happen.

wait what? they don't even have full heroic gear and can beat mythic? I'm really dissapointed in blizzard, why bother making an ultimate difficulty if it's not even difficult. My guess is Ascension found some creative mechanic which wasn't intended to come this far already.

Yes, from various info still in the game, it looked like garrisons at one point had exhausting missions where followers would need time to recover. There is also test missions for up to 5 followers in a single mission.

Honestly. This happens every time something is new. It's been going on for years. If you don't want it to happen, don't take the risk.

I'm very unhappy of the "Savage Blood". With no Barn, and no money... (16k gold) you can't advance with your equip (I'm enginner/blacksmither).

There's nothing else to do in Australia except avoid drop bears and play the didgeridoo so of course they're going to top the charts once they got a decent ping.
