1.1 Upcoming patches (General)

1.1.1Q Sometimes I die in mid-air when using a flying mount or flight form -not to mention when I die on a floating rock. Will this ever get changed or fixed?

1.1.1A In a future patch your body will drop to the ground instead of staying on the floating rock. The dying in mid-air is unfortunately a harder cookie to crack, so this fix might take longer.
1.1.1S http://blue.cardplace.com/newcache/forums.worldofwarcraft.com/77817200.htm

1.1.2Q A while back players submitted a lot of ideas for new emotes. Any idea if they are still planned?

1.1.2A They are still planned to be released. No ETA has been given.
1.1.2S http://blue.cardplace.com/newcache/forums.worldofwarcraft.com/89399271.htm

1.1.3Q In content patch 2.2 the Alliance received some new Inn music. What about the Horde?

1.1.3A The Horde won't be forgotten; so new Inn music for the Horde is also on its way.
1.1.3S http://www.curse.com/devtracker/1/en/details/45128/

1.2 Upcoming patches (Talents, Skills & Classes)

1.2.1Q Know some upcoming Paladin changes?

1.2.1A None yet.

1.2.2Q Know some upcoming Priests changes?

1.2.2A None yet.

1.2.3Q Know some upcoming Druid changes?

1.2.3A The developers agree that more variations on forms sound cool. New updated models may also come.

http://blue.cardplace.com/newcache/forums.worldofwarcraft.com/2968229326.htm

1.2.5Q Know some upcoming Shaman changes?

1.2.5A Totem twisting (bringing up multiple totems of the same element) will be dealt with. In patch 2.3.2 Shaman's received a 30 seconds cooldown on their Earth Shield along with lowered mana cost. However, because of dispelling issues, this change will be reverted and the change will most likely return in content patch 2.4.

1.2.6Q Know some upcoming Rogue changes?

1.2.6A Rogues will still get a new Stealth animation. It’s also possible Rogues are capable of landing combo-points on more targets then just one. It's not certain if this will come, but Blizzard is considering it.

1.2.8A None yet.

1.2.9Q Know some upcoming Warlock changes?

1.2.10A Yes, Blizzard will address the chain-locking of school spells in the future.
1.2.10S http://www.wowblues.com/eu/0611-silence-and-interrupt-change-1511942285.html

1.2.11 Now that Healers can semi-DPS are there any plans to do the same for Warriors/Paladins (tanks)?

1.2.11A Blizzard is working on something to make tanking classes more solo grinding viable. Details remain unknown.
1.2.11S http://www.wowblues.com/us/so-now-that-healers-can-dps-2856021903.html

1.3 Upcoming patches (Dungeons, Battlegrounds & PvP)

1.3.1Q Will we get new dungeons in patches?

1.3.1A Yes, currently the upcoming announced dungeons are:

• The Sunwell Plateau (see 1.3.2)

1.3.2Q Any information known about “The Sunwell Plateau”?

1.3.2A Yes, the Sunwell Plateau will be a 25-man raid, as well as a site for a 5-man (normal/heroic). The loot quality will be better then the Black Temple & Caverns of Time Mount Hyjal instances (for the raid-instance). Apparently the lore fits right in with TBC and the upcoming expansion WLK. The Sunwell Plateau is Blizzard’s answer to the ending of TBC. Kael'thas’ Blood Elves are leeching energy from the Netherstorm in Outland and are trying to harness its energy to power the Sunwell and summon Kil’Jaden. This instance will introduce six to eight bosses. The Sunwell's architecture looks just like Silvermoon City. Both dungeons will come in content patch 2.4.

1.3.3Q What’s the status of the Emerald Dream dungeon? Or Karazhan Lower Side, Grim Batol & Uldum?

1.3.3A The Emerald Dream is still in development for grander plans. Karazhan Lower Side could take a while since Blizzard wants to visit some other instances first. Grim Batol & Uldum will be used to make old content not a ghost town. They are also still being worked on and planned for future expansions.

1.3.4Q Follow-up on the glancing blows nerf, are there plans to nerf Crushing Blows?

1.3.4A Yes, Blizzard is looking into it and it planned to change in the future.
1.3.4S http://boards.worldofraids.com/topic-4099-1.html

1.3.5Q Will old dungeons get a heroic feature?

1.3.5A No, new content will be released first before Blizzard will add this. It’s a future plan.
1.3.5S http://boards.worldofraids.com/topic-4099-1.html

1.3.6Q Any upcoming Battleground/Arena changes?

1.3.6A Yes, we can expect the following things:
General:

• Pick the size of a certain battleground (20 vs 20 for example) (this is just a plan, no final word yet)
  
• Guild battlegrounds (join battlegrounds as guilds versus other guilds and introduce ratings/ranks like Arena)

1.4 Upcoming patches (Professions & Items)

1.4.1Q Know some profession changes?

1.4.1A Yes, it has been said that professions will get a review each patch. Here’s what known:
Alchemist:

• Transmutes will change to a daily cooldown
  
• Discoveries will be made easier
  
• The Mithril to Truesilver transmute will change to a daily cooldown
  
• More metallic transmutes are a possibility to come in the future.
  Cooking:
  
• New cooking recipes in 2.4 to fill the gap up for 275-300.
  Vendors:
  
• Rare vendor scrolls will become random spawn and not a one-vendor-exclusive
  Enchanting:
  
• Item-based enchants (see 1.4.3)
  Engineering:
  
• Arrow and bullet machines will be listed under Ammo on the AH
  General:
  
• New Crafter Only Gear (more of best in slot gear)

1.4.2 Almost each class has a legendary weapon. Will we ever get one for Hunters?

1.4.2 Yes, a legendary range weapon will be added to a raid-zone after Zul’Aman.

1.4.2N Please note that the video source is hard to hear if he’s saying “will come after ZA” or “Will come in ZA”. For now I will say “after” until a better source can be found.

1.4.3 Will Enchanting ever introduce item-based enchants instead of spamming around trade-channel to sell stuff?

1.4.3 Yes. However, Blizzard has said they might introduce it but not for the stronger enchant; this to keep the player interaction more alive for Enchanting.

1.4.6 It’s possible. Blizzard is seriously tossing around ideas for this and it might come in the future.
1.4.4S http://news.curse.com/details/2840

1.4.5 Will we get bigger bags soon?

1.4.5 It’s possible it will come in the future, however, other space and storage increases than bigger bags themselves are in the works. This change will come before the expansion.
1.4.5S http://www.curse.com/devtracker/1/en/details/39448/

1.5 Upcoming patches (User Interface)

1.5.1Q Will the combat-log ever be easier to configure and make it your own?

1.5.1A Yes, in 2.4 the combat-log will be adjusted. Names, spells, event etc will be coloured. The combat-log will no longer send a single text but an event. It will even introduce easier filtering on the fly. Last but not least you can have a full event history.
1.5.1S http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2OTFf9SH_E (around 25:40)

1.5.2Q Can we expect improved UI features?

1.5.2A Yes, the UI will get some very nice features. First off it will introduce an itemrack/Outfitter like feature. Basically it will allow you to easily swap gear compilations. However, it’s just not that; it will also introduce storage for those items. If that’s not enough, you can also expect a Big-wigs/Deadly boss mods like warning system. Last but not least; a build-in threat-meter!

1.6.1S http://blue.cardplace.com/newcache/forums.worldofwarcraft.com/44756473.htm

1.6.2Q Outland is suppose to be level 58 (and higher) exclusive. Yet I see lower levels roaming Outland. Is this a bug?

1.6.2A No, it’s not a bug. Outland can’t be reached by conventional ways (entering the Dark Portal) when lower level, but people can get summoned there. However, the level 58 requirement may be lifted later on.

4.1 Upcoming expansion

If you are looking for the latest news regarding the expansion “Wrath of the Lich King” please read this link: http://forums.wow-europe.com/thread.html?topicId=941104157&sid=1


Do note chapter 5 do NOT contain official answers and are answered upon speculations! Blizzard did NOT answer these questions!

5.1 User submitted Q&A (2.4/..)

5.1.1Q When will 2.4 (final) come?

5.1.1A Around December would be my guess. It is known that 2.4 will come on PTR shortly after 2.3.

5.1.2Q How many patches do you think we will get before the expansion?

5.1.2A My guess is one patch; patch 2.4. After that it’s 3.0. A strong hint of this would be that Blizzard is implementing The Sunwell. Blizzard said this will close the chapter for TBC. One can easily assume it will be the last patch for TBC.

5.1.3Q What will 2.4 contain?

5.1.3A My guess is the Sunwell instance, the Combat-log UI change, few remaining daily quests, Threat-meter, couple of profession additions and few class corrections.

5.1.4Q Will the patch after 2.4 be patch 3.0? Also do you think it will be ground breaking like 2.0.1 was?

5.1.4A Yes, I think 3.0 will be the WLK bridge-patch. I doubt it will be ground breaking like 2.0.1 did with the major UI tweaks. I think we’ll see a few new UI features (Itemrack feature & Boss-warnings). Along side that, of course the new/updated models for WLK, new talent-trees etc.

72964 views, 262 replies and three weeks later it was time for a refresh. The old version was cluthered and the first page was bugged because of troll posts getting deleted. So here's a version that's clean as a baby being eaten by Richard!

I hope you enjoy yet another issue of my "Information about"-thread. As always, read what I wrote, ask if there's no answer to your question.

And please refrain from trolling.

Enjoy!

Q u o t e:
/moo thanks :> so arena s3 in WotLK ?

---

Some time around patch 2.3 (even possible in 2.3).

---

Q u o t e:
Since I didn't see it in this thread, I'll ask it.

In WotLK we will battle the Scourge again, but will we see the return of the Argent Dawn also?

Or will it be an offshoot like they did in TBC with the Cenarion Circle/Expedition?

Thanks

It's possible. The Silverhand will return and they are a part of the Argent Dawn. But I think we will indeed see something like CC vs CE.
