Patch 2.1.0 Hotfixes!

by - 10 years ago

Like with every patch release, some bugs made it to the 2.1 live Servers. In fact, they even had known bugs leading into the release.

During the final steps of deployment of Patch 2.1.0, an issue came up with the reworked Wizard set Firebird’s Finery. In the patch, we updated the set bonus to be much more powerful than before; however, due to a bug, the set is not functioning correctly.

Rather than hold up the patch until this bug is fixed and verified internally, we have opted to release the patch with the 6-piece set bonus disabled. We are preparing a hotfix for the set and will apply it as soon as possible. Our best estimate is sometime tomorrow at the latest, but our team is working hard to have the hotfix applied as early as later today.

Thanks for your patience! We’re as eager as you are to burn things with fire.

Update 3:46PM PDT – Hotfix is being deployed and should be available in all games soon.

Of course, Blizzard is working hard to fix everything before Season 1 launches this Friday, and that particular bug is already taken care of.

Quick update! The hotfix for the Firebird’s Finery set has gone live, and the 6-piece set bonus has been enabled. Thanks again for your patience, everyone.

But that’s not the only bug that has been hotfixed, check out the full list that was posted on the EU Forums.

Below you will find a list of hotfixes recently applied or coming soon that address various bugs or mechanic tweaks.

These hotfixes should not require you to download a new patch. Some of the hotfixes below will go live the moment they are implemented while others may require restarting the game to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch. Also note that changes to certain abilities will not be reflected in its tooltip until a patch is issued.

Last updated August 26th. Hotfixes are denoted by the date they were applied to live servers.
