A new hotfix for World of Warcraft resolves major and minor issues. Warriors can finally obtain all artifact weapons again!
Although Patch 7.3.5 of World of Warcraft intended to be just a “small” patch, it has fundamentally reshaped the game world of Azeroth. All zones now scale with the level of the respective player. It is obvious that such a comprehensive overhaul would not come without initial errors. Therefore, Blizzard has implemented a new hotfix that is already active on the American servers. The hotfix is likely to be implemented on our side in the coming night.
Primarily, the fix addresses some quest issues that could not be completed. For a time, warriors were unable to obtain their third artifact weapon, and Alliance players had difficulty solving the puzzle concerning Uuna, as it could only be correctly completed on the horde side.
Other bug fixes address problems with individual classes where certain abilities had unintended effects.
Below you will find the complete patch notes for the hotfix from January 23:
