These days Blizzard Entertainment and its group of tirelessly working World of Warcraft devs have been pushing out updates, patches, hotfixes, and plan outlines more often than ever looking to enter the new Lunar Year and Patch 10.0.5 on a good foot with the community. This latest hotfix is finally removing the seasonal requirements from the majority of holiday transmogs, meaning you’ll be able to walk in Valentine’s dress for Christmas or Christmas outfit for Easter. Aside from that, the hotfix is tweaking the new world event-Storm’s Fury and experience gains from Cobalt Assembly.
