Patch 6.0.3 Hotfixes for January 7th

Hotfixes, piping hot. And what's in those hotfixes, you may ask? Well, I'm glad you did. Because if you hadn't, rhetorical reader, I wouldn't be able to inform you that, in addition to the trap stealing hotfix we mentioned earlier:

  • Spawn rates for Direfang Alpha, Ironhide Bull, and Wetland Trampler has increased slightly. This change requires a realm restart.

  • Alliance and Horde PvP vendors in Ashran now have collision boxes, so it should be easier for players to buy stuff.

  • Hand of Protection should now interrupt players that are in the process of capturing a point in the Battlegrounds.

  • A whole host of class fixes and changes.

Come with us under the shadow of this small jump to see what's going on.
