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.

Level Type Name
90Consumable Ancient Heirloom Armor Casing
100Consumable Timeworn Heirloom Armor Casing
40Junk Elune's Lantern
1Other Perky Blaster
60Engineering Schematic Schematic: Alliance Firework
60Engineering Schematic Schematic: Horde Firework
60Engineering Schematic Schematic: Snake Firework
60Other Everlasting Alliance Firework

Mythic Blackrock Foundry Progression
Method and Paragon both have 9/10 bosses down still, with no new guilds joining them yet. There are now 29 guilds at 8/10 bosses down. You can keep up with the latest progress on WoWProgress, our forum thread, and Manaflask.

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.

    If 6.2 comes out in June (or earlier), then I'm fine with this tbh. That'd make Highmaul and Foundry last for 6/4 months respectively, which is a reasonable length for a raid tier. Still, a daily quest area would've been nice for 6.1.

    Everything is so bad according to you and nothing to do at all.
    So i take for granted that you all are Mythic raides with all achievments you can get in WOD atm.

    IF you feel that you dont have anything to do in wow atm or like it sounds on you: WOW is crap and everything since TBC sucks. Stop paying and play one of the other 100 MMO or games out there instead of just complaining at everything.


    Oh and dont forget that WOW is dead or will die in MAX 3 months because everyone stops paying now .
    Well, many of us have already quitted, let's see the next round of subs stats, I think there will be a fall, whether if this is big or not remains to be seen.

    Aren't these tweets double posts? I recall seeing most of them on the front-page not long ago.

    I was always told that the strength of Blizzard was the 'It's ready when it's ready' attitude. I guess from the comment pages that is not acceptable anymore?

    gee, it's a good thing content got delayed for SELFIES and TWITTER

    all aboard the fail train, blizzard be a driving.

    So in order to not have a stupidly long run from last patch to next expansion they are just going to drag out the time between good patches?

    maybe they will be nice and give us more cut and paste mounts

    Honestly, it's unfortunate with delays at this point. They made a great comeback for the game with WoD imo, but it's crucial to display how there is a nice reason to stay as well, and moving content is just about the worst thing you can do beyond outright cancelling it. I'm not saying Blizz does badly as sometimes plans don't come together, it's just illtimed and unfortunate.

    no mention of warlocks and how stupid their nerfs are? Guess I'll start gearing up mage I'm getting off the rollar coaster.

    This expansion is no longer Warlords of Draenor, We can now start calling it Waiting on Delays.

    I could honestly punch myself for buying the Digital Delux version after launch, because I really enjoyed the leveling and world design....

    All that content gating and delaying is utter bullshit!
  1. Redwyrm's Avatar
    You have to wonder if they would be better served to bring some of the dev team that is working on the next expansion back to help make WoD worth a damn. WoD is going to go down as the bastard step child between expansions.

    The worst part of the Twitter thing is some people will actually use it.

    Give it 2 months before there is a post on the official page about WoW reaches 1 million tweets and how its such a great feature.....sigh.

    If only 5% of the player base use Twitter it might make more of a point....The wow community tends to complain a fair bit at most times but the devs surely cant have failed to notice the discontent the general player base has at the moment about end game!?

    Let's use the twitter and selfie camera for taking screenshots of the missing content and spam blizzard with them *cough*

    Whatever happened to Farahlon. I mean is it going to be Timeless Isle 2.0 or something.

    Says Diablo's random dungeons are new dungeons by mythic isn't. I had a good chuckle. Thanks.

    I seriously don't know why people still pay for this if you get bored after a month of expansion and patches (that you pay for with subs) have nothing interesting to offer.

    Just to echo this, Blizz devs stated a long time ago they expect people to unsubscribe when they get tired of current content and then to come back with new content. People whining and kicking like 3 year olds won't get them anywhere, they're expected to leave and come back by design.
