World of Warcraft just got its first batch of hotfixes for patch 11.2, preparing to fix some pesky quest and achievement bugs that were messing with players’ progress. It’s not a massive overhaul, but it tidies up a few things that have been causing headaches, especially around quests and map visuals.
Among the fixes, achievements like Mad World and Through the Looking Glass that had gone missing are back on track. That’s a relief for anyone grinding those out. In Sidestreet Sluice, Vindel Snapcrank will now properly respawn after resetting combat, which should help with some Delve runs.
Over in the K’aresh zone, players will notice the map icon for Tazavesh now correctly shows the Renown Rank. Plus, Phase jumping conduits nearby are visible on the map again, making navigation a little less frustrating. I mean, who wants to guess where to jump next?
Quest fixes are where most of the attention went. The “Crest Transmutation” quest now consistently awards extra Carved Ethereal Crests, so no more random disappointments. Players who picked a talent for their Reshii Wraps should finally be able to complete the “Wrapped Up” quest without any hiccups. And bosses in Horrific Visions are now properly counting towards the “Worldsoul: Horrific Visions Revisited” quest, which was a major pain point for some.
Blizzard’s quick patch shows they’re listening, but it’s a bit surprising these bugs made it through the initial release. Guess they were focused on bigger features? Either way, these fixes should smooth out some rough edges and get players back to enjoying the content without the annoying interruptions.
