Update from December 11:
The developers at Blizzard have published the German patch notes for the WoW hotfixes from December 10. We have updated the message accordingly.

Original message from December 10:
Once again, the developers of Blizzard have played a series of hotfixes on the live servers of World of Warcraft (buy now 14,99 € ). In addition to various bug fixes, balancing adjustments for the bosses in Castle Nathria were mainly on the agenda. Thus, Hunter Altimor, Rescue of the Sun King, Constructor Xy'mox as well as Starving Destroyer were noticeably weakened.

Below you can read the official English patch notes. As soon as Blizzard has published the German patch notes, we will update this message. Hotfixes are updates that are applied server-side without the need to download new data. Some of the changes listed below will take effect as soon as Blizzard implements them, whereas others will only take effect after an announced realm restart. Please note that some issues cannot be fixed without a client-side patch.
