Wotlk Patches

Future Patch Info

 

* Patch 3.1 will be the first content patch of the expansion and is already done. It will include Ulduar raid instance (10 and 25 Man)

* Patch 3.2 will add a new and still unknown raid instance to the game.

* Patch 3.3 will introduce Icecrown Citadel and should also resolve the storyline of Ashbringer.

* In Patch 3.1, ground mounts will no longer dismount in water but will swim instead.

* 10-Man and 25-Man sets will be part of the same set, you can complete your set bonuses with any part of each set. (Updated set stats available in the Raids & Dungeons Panel post)

* The Dual-Talent spec feature will let you switch between your two specs without having to go back to town. You can perfectly do it between fights in a raid, however it won't be possible to switch specs in the middle of an Arena Match. Your keybinds and glyphs will be saved and automatically switched as you change your spec. An itemrack-like mod might also be added to the game to make switching even easier.

* Guild ratings might be added in the future, guilds could receive a rating based on their PvE and PvP accomplishments. Achievements based on guild accomplishments could be added to the game as well.

 

 

 

Swimming mounts and Guild ranks

PvE and PvP guild rankings would have been AWESOME for us about 2 years ago when we had extremely strong representation in both.

 

Right before BC, I think it would have read something like:

 

PvE- 6th

PvP- 1st

/miss FP ABs =(

They're trying to work out a guild PVP system, so I'm hoping that we'll be able to queue as a group again, without the SEVERE wait times we have now. That change to the PVP system killed it for a lot of us, I think.

You are correct sir, it's why I stopped going over 5mans if at all possible.

I think my head asploded. Pvp Gynis? No less guild PvP? I have an announcement to make. I'm speccing Protection so I can tank instances.... and I'll like it! Oh the humanity! hehe

 

Sometimes I think full premades were getting a bit... tense and boring. Mainly because we didn't have an equal competition. Ever since BC, it was 15min of waiting followed by 5min of running flag to flag.

Should have been around this weekend. Shiki lead a partial of 8-12. It was a lot of fun. Don't think it took more than 2-3 min to get everyone into the same BG.

 

 

# They also want players to be able to level up in battlegrounds through XP rewards in addition of honor. Daily quests will also be added.

# They want to bring back competition into Battlegrounds, they're working on a new rating system to help with that and are also working on a way to let guilds compete in battlegrounds.

# In the future, players will be able to queue in Arenas and Battlegrounds from anywhere in the world.

You guys are making me proud.

yea d-ville AB weekend was awesome.

I actually did PVP a lot more with the guild way back when Ect / Beorn were leading ABs. Because of it, it's still my favorite battleground. The weekend we tried to do it after they changed the way the group queues worked, I stopped. It took 45 minutes per game, and with FP the games only lasted 45 seconds.

 

At least when I'm waiting 45 minutes for a raid to start, I have the satisfaction of having someone to yell at to get off their can. =/

 

I really hope that they fix it so that Guilds have a lot more utilities at their disposal to make group events like that more viable again. We could OWN the ancient strand.
