WOW - Brewfest Hotfixes : World of Warcraft General Discussions

It seems Brewfest has a few unexpected exploits that needed hotfixing last night.

We've recently applied a number of hotfixes for the new Brewfest holiday event.

As we’ve seen a large number of issues stem from the Dark Iron attacks on Brewfest, both for our players and the game service, they have been temporarily disabled. At this time we’re still in the process of evaluating the situation and developing a better solution; however we hope to see the Dark Iron dwarves resume their attacks as soon as possible.

Until then we’ve increased the ticket rewards for the daily "Bark For..." quests from 15 to 40 tickets, and for the keg delivery quest which can be completed every 12 hours we've increase the value of each keg to 3 tickets. This still allows everyone to gain tickets at a rate comparable to what we intended the average player to be able to achieve before the Dark Iron attacks were disabled. For some players, especially on realms where tickets from the attacks were difficult to achieve, the amount of tickets received per-day could actually be increased.

As the Dark Iron attacks have stopped, we’re removing the ability to obtain a “Complimentary Brewfest Sampler” by /waving at Brewfest barkers and maidens (this hotfix will be applied soon). This will remain disabled and should the attacks begin again the samplers will be obtained through alternate means.

We’ve also hotfixed the Brewfest goggles to remove their duration. They are now permanent! The duration timer will continue to show until the next patch, but it will not affect the permanence of the goggles.

For further updates regarding any changes to Brewfest please continue to check this thread.

We're still investigating the issues people are seeing with the barking quests. Being unable to reproduce the issue thus far we're continuing to look into the cause, and looking forward to the rolling restarts scheduled for tonight at 5:00 AM PDT to see if that resolves the problem.

Of course ensure you are on the provided riding ram while near the flag points. No emotes or other actions are required.
