Blizzard has decided to release a planned patch a little bit ahead of schedule because of memory leaks, so now we have a new hotfix patch. This one fixes a bug in which Azalina Soulsever was not correctly interacting with an enemy Broxigar. Also being patched are some bugs in Battlegrounds largely related to some of the new mechanics introduced in the last patch.

We are releasing patch 35.2.1, originally planned for August 10, to go early today to address a bug causing memory issues on our servers. We wanted to address this before player volume went up over the weekend. Thank you for your patience!
