Patch 4.1 hotfixes for April 26

A brand new patch means a brand new list of hotfixes. The first round of hotfixes for patch 4.1 have arrived courtesy of Zaryhm on the official Warcraft blog. These first few hotfixes address a few class bugs, as well as a couple of tweaks to Zul'Gurub and Zul'Aman, including the following:

• In Zul'Aman, the Plucked debuff applied during the Akil'zon encounter should no longer persist after he's killed.

• In Zul'Gurub, Zanzil's cauldrons will remain active once he's been defeated, allowing the party to survive the Zanzil's Graveyard Gas phase.

• Players shouldn't be getting stuck on the retrieving character list or be unable to enter instances when the Optimize Network for Speed option is disabled anymore.
