patch 2.4 info!

February 2, 2008

A few blue posts have popped up on the official WoW forums over the last few days giving details on the 2.4 patch. Here is a brief summary of whats been announced for 2.4 so far.

Honor diminishing returns removed! But wait theres more, with diminishing returns removed there will no longer be a need for estimated honor to calculate. This means that players will now be able to spend those hard earned honor points right after you earn them, no more waiting until the next day only to find out your estimated was slightly off and you have a whole extra day to wait for an item. With the removal of diminishing returns, there will still be a limit on how much you can farm from one player, once someone dies 50 times in a game they will no longer be worth honor for the rest of that game.
25 man raid bosses will now drop an additional set token, this means your guild will be able to gear up a little faster and start moving on to the final raids of The Burning Crusade if you haven’t already. In addition to the extra set tokens, raid bosses will also drop more gold to help you keep up with that massive repair bill.
To encourage more participation in outdoor raid bosses, all epics dropped will now be changed to bind on equip. Also, the gold rewards for killing outdoor raid bosses has been increased significantly.
Spell haste finally reduces global cool down, making it actually worthwhile for those fast heals and 1.5 sec spells, there is a minimum cap however, which is set to 1 second.
On a sad note, players can only carry up to a maximum of 80 mana biscuits from mage tables. As lame as it is, I can see why and I think you might notice more mages willing to pop up those tables in AV.
