Blizzard Says Massively Buggy WoW Patch 12.0.5 Was 'Not Up To Our Standards'

"The 12.0.5 patch launch was not up to our standards, and we know this disrupted your time and caused justified frustration. The team has been working around the clock since launch to stabilize the game and fix the biggest issues players were hitting right away."

"We will also work harder to communicate openly, early, and often when a launch doesn't go as expected: the known issues we're working on, fixes as they roll out, and any other information that would be useful to our community as problems are worked on and solved."

"Examples of major issues include the new Decor Duel (Prop Hunt) mode allowing players to easily and blatantly cheat, the newly-introduced bonus loot roll system not working at all as advertised, a final raid boss sometimes becoming unbeatable."

Blizzard issued an apology to the World of Warcraft community regarding the problematic launch of patch 12.0.5. The patch was criticized for numerous bugs and issues that disrupted gameplay. Blizzard acknowledged the frustration caused and stated that the team is working diligently to stabilize the game. They emphasized the importance of learning from this experience to prevent future occurrences and committed to improving communication with players about ongoing issues and fixes. The team expressed their dedication to the game and the community.
