WoW Patch 12.0.5: A Bug-Riddled Debacle Sparks Player Backlash
TL;DR
World of Warcraft's 12.0.5 patch for the Midnight expansion launched amid a string of issues: lag and server disconnects, housing disabled due to a critical bug, a flawed Decor Duels mode, and a Voidforge system that duplicated items. Several class-spec bugs (Holy Paladin, Unholy Death Knight, Demonology Warlock) and a bugged final boss L'ura added to the frustration, along with a temporarily disabled Mythic+ achievement and awkward Void Ritual text. Some fixes rolled out within 48 hours, but players criticized QA and even noted regional subscription price hikes as part of the patch's fallout.
