patch 2.4 info!

Date 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.

2.4 patch notes soon!

Date January 26, 2008

Straight from the blizzard forums

We have information in the works, but I’d caution people that it’s not going to be today or even Monday, but we have plans and are working to put things together that will hopefully make the wait worthwhile.

I’d also caution people about getting their expectations up in regard to “sweeping class changes”. Again, we have many things in the works and a definite plan of action that we will share with you all more as we progress.

As always, I’ll remind people that if we don’t post patch notes, they aren’t the real deal. We create them, we post them, we make them reality. Don’t supplant someone’s fantasy patch notes for the real ones in your heads. It will only end in tears on so many fronts.

Season 3 delayed!

Date November 14, 2007

Drysc recently made a post explaining the delay until the 27th for season 3.

Everyone is preparing for the start of the third arena season and we’re excited to get new items, rewards, and fresh competition going for everyone participating in the arenas.

As we approach the previously announced start date we’ve had growing concerns of what the new season requires of us to actually launch, and its proximity to the Thanksgiving holiday. Everyone wants the launch go as smoothly as possible, and in order to have resources available to tend to any issues as soon as they may spring up, we’ve decided to delay the Season 3 start date to November 27. One week after the previously announced date.

This allows us to have the quickest response time to any issues should they occur, and allows everyone to enjoy the holiday and the days leading up to it. While making everyone wait another week obviously isn’t the optimal outcome, in the end we decided it would be much worse to start Season 3 so close to the holiday and potentially make players wait longer until a problem can be resolved. Ultimately it allows us to provide the best possible service for everyone as we launch the new season.

Season 3 and patch 2.3 coming soon!

Date November 6, 2007

Looks like we will see patch 2.3 go live next Tuesday, and then season 3 will go live the following Tuesday assuming there are no testing delays. Heres what drysc had to say on the official WoW forums…

While testing continues and a delay could possibly change these dates, we are currently planning to start Season 3 on November 20 once the realms come back up from their weekly maintenance. This means that Season 2 will come to a close when the realms come down for maintenance on November 20. During that maintenance the final standings are taken and the end of season rewards are distributed.

The start date for Season 3 is purposefully planned to be one week later than the release of patch 2.3, which is currently scheduled for November 13. We will be closely monitoring the testing of the 2.3 patch, and if it looks like it won’t make the November 13 date, we will announce a delay.
