It's standard practice for Blizzard, has long been the practice with WoW and makes perfect sense. But people didn't cry about it with WoW

I recall plenty of "crying" about hotfixes in WoW and many other MMO games. In fact one only needs to browse some WoW threads here to find a lot of people who didn't like the barrage of hotfixes. It's a fine concept when used appropriately, people aren't against the idea of a hotfix so much as it is how they are executed, how people are notified and doing things like very minor asset updates.

People aren't objecting to the quest XP balance nerf for example, they just want to make sure their abilities do what it says on the tooltip. Not exactly unreasonable. In this case it wasn't a huge wait but compounded with the fact that they waited before even telling anyone probably has some people a bit peeved.

I think they should simply store the tooltips server side and cache them on the client, that way they can avoid this situation in the future.
