Update: Rogue hotfix notes have been changed.

10th Anniversary Event Extended One Week

The event--including the level 100 Molten Core raid--will be available again from January 6 at 10:00 a.m. PST until January 13 at 10:00 a.m. PST, for North American realms (13 January at 10:00 a.m. CET, for European realms). You can see the updated event dates and times in the in-game calendar.

Look for this and other hotfixes in the 6.0.3 Hotfixes blog as it’s updated.

We're looking into ways to make Garrisons a bit more friendly in future patches for those of you who enjoy alts. We see that Garrisons are a bit too much for you guys right now.

Our friends at FatBoss have done it again with a guide to Highmaul in 60 seconds! No need to read long guides or watch long videos, just follow their short and simple advice.

    Nerfs to DKs and Rets. Many happy people now i bet
    I actually like the change for the Ret 4set. Now i don't have to bother getting it. Rather get gear with better stats.

    And i love the Ashran change! 20 sec to accept was way to short!

    They fixed the things I've been bitching about on twitter.
    Does the system work? Do they listen to their players?

    Scary...

    And why does the EU not get the extension?

    Really nice buffs for combat because they aren't already out of control in pvp. but hey i guess the pve drooler needs to spam SS instead of mutilate to be competitive in the helmet league.
  1. Isoz's Avatar
    yea wtf EU showed be extended aswell

    As a Ret Paladin, I am so fucking glad they nerfed that 4 piece. It was ridiculous enough that it was BiS over Mythic Highmaul gear until you rock the T17 set

    Can't wait for a solution to alt's garrisons. Currently having 8 alts and when i am doing the garrisons i won't stop crying till the nightmare is over!

    It's nice to see some Ret / DK nerfs and Rogue buffs, though still nothing addressing numerous Warlock issues.
  1. huehuehue's Avatar
    So Ashran queues are even longer now as people can either 1)take their time accepting or 2) it takes 3x longer to pass over an AFK player. Cool.
    Conversion needs to get hit harder for Frost, maybe only in PvP.

    EU is also extended by the way, look in your calendar and it will show Molten Core being enabled at 10am tomorrow, server time.

    Does the 'Flames of Ragnaros' weapon Illusion get used up when you enchant a weapon, or can it be used an unlimited amount of times?

    EU is extended as well, they just made that sentence really weird.

    They're saying the same thing but in different terms.
