Patch 6.0.2 hotfixes for October 14

By Adam Holisky

The hotfixes are in for patch 6.0.2's first night on the live servers. It didn't take long for Blizzard to respond to several issues — this is a good sign for things to come. Major points this evening include:

  • All quest boss NPCs in the Blasted Lands now have scaling health pools based on the number of players engaging them.
  • Resolved an issue where the toy collection count was incorrectly increasing each time the character logs in.
  • The title, "of the Iron Vanguard" received from completing The Iron Invasion achievement is now account-wide.
  • Reduced the health and damage of high level creatures and NPCs in Pandaria to more closely match their relative difficulty before the stat squish.
  • Auction house NPCs in Siege of Orgrimmar's should no longer be level 100.
  • Garrosh Hellscream's Iron Star explosion damage has been reduced to a more reasonable level in a post stat squish environment.
  • Mage: Supernova now deals 30% less damage against player targets.
