Is this the hotfix that will be fixing it? As usual SE's post is as vague as possible ; ;

Actually, a hotfix has nothing to do with scheduling. The term hotfix means to update in-production. Which means, in order to do a hotfix, something must be patched while the server is online, no reboot required, no downtime required. If downtime is required, then it is not a hotfix, by definition of the term.

Not trying to be a prick, just trying to clarify terminology which is commonly misused.

Also referred to on the server end as a "Rolling Upgrade".

Good catch!

I was just about to ask that myself! Too bad it said "Details of the fixes will be posted seperately."

My team is postponing our Coil to tomorrow in case this hotfix covers the loot fix.

They're still calling things hotfixes that aren't hotfixes. The last "hotfix" took the servers down as well. xD

While technically hotfix doesn't say anything about when it'll be done, you'd think if you got something that fixes a problem that doesn't require taking the server down, the best time to put that fix would be yesterday. The only concern might be if you haven't tested it enough yet, but if you haven't gone through adequate testing then you really can't say you've fixed the problem to begin with.

address issues as well as make some adjustments

I think it's a safe bet that, yes, this is the hotfix. It's not often at all that we get a patch alongside maintenance and we knew this was coming. I'm really thankful it's so early in the week. My group was planning on holding off on coil for the week until it was done.
