Blizzard Can’t Stop Tweaking WoW: Forever and It’s Only Been 6 Days

Blizzard has issued a large set of hotfixes for World of Warcraft: Forever, just six days after launch, adjusting quest rewards, crowded zones and several class abilities. The changes show the developer is responding quickly to how players are progressing and to problems emerging in the live game, ahead of a larger balance patch planned for December.

From level 48 onwards, most quests now award gold, addressing concerns that players were short of cash near level 60 after the removal of an experience-to-gold conversion. Blizzard has also reduced player numbers in congested zones, especially on PvP servers, increased Warlock pet health by about 15% and overhauled Enhancement Shaman. It says its decisions draw on player feedback, surveys and in-game data; dungeon experience was also adjusted earlier in the week.
