It’s really enough with the Maintenace being east coast time 10am… Really after all these years you cannot move it to something way more practical like 230am any weekday? And how bad is your IT department lately, not just Tuesdays anymore now its follow up Wednesday Oh another mistake Thursday as well… really getting old!
It’s a conspiracy man!
I just want to point out…time zones.
10am for you is 7am for Blizz. 2:30am for you is 11:30pm for Blizz, and 10:30am for parts of Europe.
My point is simple. No matter what time they do maintenance, it is going to inconvenience someone, somewhere. What is “practical” to you is not practical to someone else, and at the end of the day Blizzard is who controls the game and they will always do work when the time is best for their business model. The employees who perform maintenance don’t live in the office. In fact, call support at 2:30am, you won’t reach someone in California, I promise you that.
Personally, I wouldn’t mind if they needed to do daily hotfixes for an hour each day. At least that shows that bugs are being squashed and not ignored.

Wow, those are some pretty beastly nerfs. Surprised you didn’t nerf comet storm to just like, 2 strikes.
Appreciated but people told you to take a look at these bosses ages ago. Those abilities were ridiculous. Why did it take you a year to nerf these clearly overtuned mechanics?
Heya! Here are today’s hotfixes:

-
Halls of Atonement
- Fixed an issue that would cause Depraved Darkblade’s Deadly Thrust to be cast on a nearby target if their current target was out of range.

…why does this sound like a fun concept for a battleground?
This will be very well appreciated by people - it’s been a hotbutton topic on the forums this past week.
That’s a lot of dungeon tuning in one week. Next add some loot to them. I don’t think people are annoyed by them because once a season you get an unexpected bird peck. It’s mostly that people stopped caring about anima about a year ago.
Into the Dunes is still broken.
It’s hotfix time~

May I ask: what was the philosophy behind trying to add these kinds of mechanics?
I’m not at all being snarky or anything, but it just seemed weird to randomly get wacked by a tank hitter as a melee champ
I just did a DoS, and before all these changes I never once got randomly pecked like the hotfix notes imply they were trying to stop. This time I just kept getting pecked and pecked and pecked while the tank was kiting with no aggro. It is worded like they removed it, but it barely existed before, and now it happens constantly lol
That’s great you’re fixing problems in dungeons but Fury Warriors are still doing unhealable damage while constantly healing themselves in PvP and next to nothing is being done about it.
Here are the hotfixes from today:
JUNE 13, 2022
Achievements
- Credit for the Path of Ascension achievement To the Moon should now be granted consistently.
Dungeons and Raids
-
Sepulcher of the First Ones
-
Rygelon
- Fixed an issue where players could incidentally consume two Collapsing Quasar Fields that overlap.
-
Rygelon
Quests

- Players should now always be able to see the Twisted Gateway to enter the scenario for “Fangs of the Devourer.”

It would be really nice if y’all would fix the two recent issues that have popped up…
Halondrus, phase 3, several graphics issues (even reported on Wowhead) that make the fight damn near impossible, as the mechanics go invisible…
Any hunter that targets a boss, immediately auto-shots and enter combat. without the player actually meaning to engage. Very frustrating to players who like to be ready to go when the pull timer is up 
Would appreciate these raid hot fixes ASAP!

Did you also fix the part where bombs and world markers are also phasing in and out of visibility?

All looks good to me. What about account bound reputations? I have like 10 alts with rep split everywhere. It’s kinda annoying at this point.
