Finally, they're letting something out about what they've been working on:
Here are some of the additions and changes in the coming patch. Please remember that these are not the complete notes, and it's very possible that there are more notes in each section that have not been sneak peeked.
----------------------------------
Player versus Player
· Gurubashi Arena – The arena in Stranglethorn Vale has been changed so that free-for-all PvP will only take place on the floor of the arena, and no longer in the stands or on the entrance ramp. Please keep in mind that on PvP realms, members of the opposite faction can still attack you anywhere in the arena because Stranglethorn Vale is a contested area.
· There is now a short countdown before a duel starts.Professions
· Fishing for high-level zones has been restored.
· Fishing profession now requires a minimum character level, like the other professions do. Any character who already has a fishing profession past the intended level will not be affected.
· The recipes for Heavy Mageweave Bandage, Runecloth Bandage, and Heavy Runecloth Bandage can be learned by visiting your faction's Artisan First Aid questgiver.
· Sell prices on Runecloth Bandages and Heavy Runecloth Bandages have been reduced.
· Expert First Aid books moved to a more appropriate vendor for the Horde. New vendor is still within the same general area as the previous one.Warriors
· New Ability: Pummel (Berserker Stance) (Level 38) - Instant attack that causes damage and interrupts spellcasting for a short duration.
· Shield Bash: No longer usable in Berserker Stance.
· Berserker Stance: Now increases critical strike chance by 3% instead of granting 10% melee haste. Extra damage taken reduced from 20% to 10%.Rogue
· Vanish will now break root and slow effects.Priest
· New Spell: Prayer of Fortitude (Level 48) - Longer lasting Power Word: Fortitude spell that buffs the entire group. Requires a reagent to cast. (Spell is available via loot drop only.)
EDIT - The post title as I'm sure there will be more future patches and this will help the poor soul who searches WoW patch in the forum.
Man, now I have to swim to booty bay before the patch.
Really good point....
Yeah, my skill is at 150 now, so I need the book to go any higher....maybe I can try that this afternoon when the boy takes a nap.
Does it truely matter where you fish for gaining levels? I am pretty sure I got 151 in IF. I think it just affects what it is that you get as a result of that fishing.
I went to Booty Bay last night to get the Expert Fishing book. Now all I need to do is spend a little time fishing before the patch comes.
I think I will hit 225 fishing tonight I have 125 points to gain!
That''s a lot of stuff. Reaffirms my thought that they released the game too soon.

Really? Aren''t you an EQ2 player instead? Not sure how you can make that determination...although I can say that I think you''re dead wrong...
He is being a troll. He is trying to get back at JMJ for a similar comment also.
Hehe actually I just copied JMJ''s post from the post that shows some info on EQ2 first big update.
Wanted to see what happened! hehe
I think WoW is a cool game and not bad at all. Just a little friendly retaliation!
My point in the EQ2 thread was looking at the (relatively) minor changes listed in the WoW notes, and comparing it to the pages of fixes and additions in the EQ2 notes.
Go Karmajay, we EQ2ers might be second class citizens around here, but we don''t have to take it lying down. The Big Patch will be with every mmo as long as the mmo remains in business, one of the things were paying for imo.
To be honest, both companies are winners, we''re all out 15$ a month.
Not if you sign up for the 6 month plan like me.
Good find Eezy_Brodone!
I can''t wait for the next patch. Especially the honor system and being able to capture enemy territory in contested areas.
Meeting Stones: Meeting Stones are located outside of each dungeon to help players find a group to adventure into the dungeon. The meeting stone will try to find you a viable group by finding a tank, a healer, and so on. As time goes on and you are unable to find a group, the meeting stone will become less picky about who it chooses to group you with.
Clever! Great for us shy folks.
Do I still have time to ""grandfather"" fishing skills? If so, I know what I am doing tonight.
Patch looks like its going in this morning.
Shamans get Earthbind totem nerfed... before I could spam it like crazy and combined with Frost Shock keep you pesky Alliance melee types perma snared.
Now Earthbind is on a 15 sec cooldown.
I''m waiting for a few more nerfs... Probably Windfury eventually..
Hopefully I can hit 60 before that one gets in.
But I''m pretty sure Blizzard didnt intend Shamans to be able to do upwards of 1000 damage in melee within 1-2 seconds at level 38-40.
Thanks for the full post, Eezy.
- Kodos in the Barrens will no longer stomp incessantly while in combat.
Thank heavens - I''ve gotten my butt stomped by a kodo 5 levels below me before. Stun, stun, stun, stun, dead.
I''m not seeing any bug fixes for the often-ludicrous lag in the Auction House, which is the most annoying problem I''ve encountered.
Now you can say it Karma
But since the AH house lag is not strictly speaking a bug, I don''t think you''ll ever see a message about it. Just one day in the future, you''ll think ""Huh, haven''t seen that damn lag in awhile."" and go back to playing.
This may not help you much, but first thing in the morning, there''s rarely any lag at all in the AH. I only shop off-peak hours!
so few of my items ever actually auction for anything above vendor price that I usually dump all my items at the Vendors.
If no one in my guild can use it I sell it to the Vendor...I usually only buy reagents or recipies at the AH.
Messages in the chat window provide feedback when you are getting
drunk or sober.
Wow, now THAT''s impressive. I wonder how the game can tell....oh, wait.
Oh, I get it.
Anyone have any mirrors for the patch? Blizzard''s bit torrent thing sucks. Probably getting slammed so it can''t stay connected to the tracker.
