Couple minutes in this case. https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/the-1026-content-update-arrives-march-19/

What about “very soon”? Is that better at all?

Soon ™.

With hotfixes coming soon, we’re making the following adjustments to the Hearthstone’s 10th Anniversary Event:

• Fixed a bug where it was possible to complete the Whizbang encounter and not receive Trading Post credit for it.
• Players can now collect missing cards by using the Hearthstone Gameboard toy to defeat others in a friendly game. It will continue to drop cards after the event ends.
• The event duration has been extended by 96 hours, and is now scheduled to end on Friday, March 22.
• For the remainder of the event, the boss portal will open every 30 minutes (was every 60 minutes).

Thank you very much!

That is exactly how it should now be working, following a hotfix that was deployed a couple of hours ago.

We’re continuing to investigate performance issues on some realms.

With a hotfix that is now live on all realms, Whizbang’s portal should now spawn simultaneously in all three locations, every hour.

This should continue for the duration of the Hearthstone’s 10th Anniversary event.

Classes

• Druid
  • Restoration
    • Rejuvenation healing increased by 12%. Does not affect PvP combat.
• Evoker
  • Preservation
  • Developers’ notes: Preservation has been underutilized lately, in part due to the range restrictions of the specialization. To help compensate for that, we’re increasing the healing and defensiveness of Preservation so they can traverse the battlefield more easily and safely.
    • Time of Need clone’s overall healing increased by 100%. Time of Need clone’s Living Flame healing increased by 16%.
    • Live-Giver’s Flame heals for 40/80% of damage done (was 35/70%).

Today we previewed some changes we’re planning for Season 4.

In our Americas, EU, and Asia regions this week, we’ve planned for an estimated 8 hours of downtime to do some critical server infrastructure improvements to our Network File System (NFS).

At this time, the 8 hour window is just an estimate, and we can’t determine in advance how much time it’s going to take with much certainty. While we hope that NFS updates won’t take the full 8 hours, we have to allow for the scenario where the update processes take much longer than expected.

We’ll let you know during maintenance tomorrow if it looks like it’s going to go long.

Today we’ve developed an additional adjustment and added it to the OP of this thread.

Player versus Player

Warlock

• Call Observer health reduced to 6% of Warlock’s health (was 8%) and Laserbeam damage reduced to 8% of enemy health (was 10%).

This will go live with weekly maintenance tomorrow, along with all of the other adjustments.

Feel free to let us know what you think here.

As always, we’ve closely monitored data on class performance as well as player feedback. With all of that in mind, we’ve developed the following adjustments to classes that are over- and under-performing in group content and PvP. These changes will go into effect with scheduled weekly maintenance in each region.
