Patch 7.2 Hotfixes

Blizzard

Here you'll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to World of Warcraft: Legion. Some of the hotfixes below take effect the moment they were implemented, while others may require scheduled realm restarts to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. This list will be updated as additional hotfixes are applied.

Additional information about the expansion can be found below.

Having been keeping tabs on this over the weekend I realise my original post really missed the mark. In my haste to post the details we received about the intent of the Anduin cinematic I didn't really do a very good job of addressing the points (other than AP) that had come up in similar discussions on the internet. It wasn't my intent to come across as disregarding, mocking, sarcastic or anything of the sort with my original post. I'm sorry if it came across that way.

We definitely hear that Horde players would like to see more story development for their faction following the events of 7.0, and likewise we understand that players of both factions are hungry for more story development in general. Both of those points were also included in the feedback we collated and forwarded regarding this topic, and will continue to be included going forward.

Considering the orb has been bugged ever since 7.2 launched and leaves you unable to summon a succubus at all, it really is not worth it.Comment by InterestThat buff looks pretty useful. Challenge Missions, as always, are welcome as well.Comment by EvraelSo... after weeks of radio silence from the ilvl scales with monster incident they now grown a spine again to have a QA portion... this should be goodComment by ColdleoWhat other story progress do the Horde need in Rise of the Banshee Queen?Comment by TuckletutsWhat other story progress do the Horde need in Rise of the Banshee Queen?Comment by KyllandraHaving been keeping tabs on this over the weekend I realise my original post really missed the mark.

You hit the nail on the head with this post. There are so many SJW "normie" gamers these days. It's depressing. I miss the old days when gamers were a bunch of funny nerds who didn't give a shizz if one's witto feelings got hurt and there was banter -o- plenty. LOL @ the rehtard who responded to your post trying to put the blame weight on everyone's shoulders. That's nonsense. Yes, we are all members of the "wow community", but we are not all overly sensitive self-entitled crybabies. Full stop.Comment by darquisWait, so there's no bonus now on the special legionfall missions? Cuz if not, I have no incentive to 200 percent em, some of these are relatively easy w/out thatComment by rinkworks

This is exactly the problem. People like you are the problem. All you do is complain about the "old days" and only promote the toxic childish behavior the OP mentioned. Here is something you'll understand: Stop crying and do something about it, crybaby.Comment by jaq1010Having been keeping tabs on this over the weekend I realise my original post really missed the mark.

With Helya dead tho, I dunno if they'll continue with that storyline.Comment by TombsvThe quest "Something Different" now requires 1 brawl victory (was 3 brawl completions).Comment by tastemyfurAlso in old wow, horde could get stuff and Alliance didn't even bother complaining.Comment by GreySageWhat other story progress do the Horde need in Rise of the Banshee Queen?Comment by kodora1316 we definitely need more Jaina.
