Blizzard Releases More Updates to Fix Battle for Azeroth Patch 8.0
Blizzard Releases More Updates to Fix Battle for Azeroth Patch 8.0-October 2024
Oct 19, 2024 7:44 AM

  Blizzard has released more hotfixes for the troubled Battle for Azeroth patch 8.0.

  The Battle for Azeroth 8.0 pre-patch was deployed on the game’s live servers, and its launch wasn’t that smooth – something that has been acknowledged by Blizzard. While major updates almost always cause some issues, this pre-patch caused major login and account issues, and even worse, players are faced with overpowered enemies, item level issues, broken questlines and more.

  Hotfixes were already deployed last week, and this week, Blizzard has released more patches to fix the apparent issues with the Battle for Azeroth’s pre-patch. The most recent hotfix includes class tweaks, dungeon and raid changes, quest fixes, PvP changes, and much more. We’ve included the full release notes for the hotfix (July 23) down below:
