World of Warcraft developer Blizzard has just released its pre-patch for the gigantic Midnight expansion, and it is predictably infested with a variety of bugs ranging from big, small, or… gray.

Many World of Warcraft players accept the MMORPG's often messy pre-patches as a loved one's quirk – nobody's perfect, after all, and Blizzard has at least been actively monitoring the Midnight pre-patch's known issues. But there really are a lot of them this time.
