The Drowned City dungeon
The Drowned City is a new dungeon introduced for the Level 37-42 bracket in WoW: Forever, according to Wowhead, which detailed its quests and rewards. Blizzard followed up with official hotfixes on November 9 that included a nerf to the dungeon, as reported by Wowhead and Icy Veins. The adjustments came alongside broader hotfixes covering class bugs, items, quests, and enemy or NPC tuning across the game.
Population and class hotfixes
Blizzard's November 9 hotfixes also reduced population in zones described as having significant crowding, per Wowhead. A further round of hotfixes on November 10 brought additional class changes, with Icy Veins noting Shamans received particular attention, plus quest fixes, profession adjustments, an auction house deposit change, and gold buffs. Together the two patches reflect rapid official tuning as Blizzard responds to early gameplay issues ahead of the game's broader rollout.
