Overview
- Blizzard, which apologized Friday, said the team is working around the clock to stabilize World of Warcraft and shared rolling hotfix notes and issue trackers.
- The 12.0.5 update launched with failures including housing outages in the Americas and Oceania, duplicate rewards from the Voidforge bonus‑roll system, misflags and easy reveals in the new Decor Duel prop‑hunt mode, and raid and class bugs that blocked progress.
- Blizzard says housing has been restored, the Voidforge duplication is fixed with Nebulous Voidcore purchases to be refunded, and several class and achievement issues have been hotfixed.
- Players and reporters say multiple problems were flagged on the public test realm weeks before release, raising concerns about quality assurance and why the patch was not held back.
- The messy rollout has renewed calls to slow the eight‑week patch cadence to protect polish and player trust, with critics warning that frequent but unstable drops push groups to cancel runs and log off.
