10th Anniversary Event Extended One Week

The WoW Anniversary event ended a bit earlier than intended, so to make up for that lost time and any inconvenience we’re going to be re-enabling it for an additional 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. 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.

Garrisons and Alts

Would have been awesome if it was account wide.. now it feels more like a pain to gather all recources and level all the followers.. again.. and again.. and...
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.

Highmaul in 60 Seconds
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.

That Tectus part on the Fatboss vid reminds me of LFR Tectus
Tectus yells: RISE, MOUNTAINS.

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!

[UnknownShadows00]

BLESSED BE THE GODS for the extension!

[Deleted]

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

Scary...

[Deleted]

And why does the EU not get the extension?

[apeiron1234]

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.

[Isoz]

yea wtf EU showed be extended aswell

[DrMcNinja]

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

[Deleted]

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!

[Lolsteak]

It's nice to see some Ret / DK nerfs and Rogue buffs, though still nothing addressing numerous Warlock issues.

[huehuehue]

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.

[Mythium]

One day locks will warlocks will get some form of buff

One day, locks will have their revenge.

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

[Fablewynd]

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?

[Vehemence]

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

[padman]

They say something diffrent about Combat rogues on their blog.

Combat
Vitality now grants 50% additional Attack Power (up from 40%).

[Othraerir]

still no cracking skulls ach fix, well done

[Praetorians]

9 Second stun and now 7% buff. Wow........

[Lamora]

They say something diffrent about Combat rogues on their blog.

1.50/1.40 = 1.07
They're saying the same thing but in different terms.
