World of Warcraft Patch 4.3 Live This Week

It’s been 6 months in coming, but World of Warcraft will get a huge content patch this week.  The Hour of Twilight patch includes 3 new 5-man dungeons, Tier 13 armor, void storage, transmogrification,  a brand new and expanded Darkmoon Faire and of course the chance to finally give Deathwing what he deserves with the Dragon Soul raid!

  • Level cap raised to 90
  • New class: Monk
  • Pve Scenarios
  • Pet Battle System
  • New Talents
  • New continent
  • Challenge Mode Dungeons

New Content Coming in WoW Patch 4.3

With Gamescon going on this week there have been lots of web interviews and hints at what is coming in WoW Patch 4.3, supposedly the last content patch before the next unnamed expansion.

Some of the new things to expect with 4.3 include

  • New Raid – Deathwing finally gets his due
  • New Dungeons – 3 new 5-man instances (including a new Caverns of Time instance)
  • Raid Finder – an addition to the LFG tool that will allow you to find a raid to join
  • New Darkmoon Faire Island – with new games and activities including “Whack-A-Gnome”
  • Void Storage – a new 100-150 slot “bank” that will allow you to store old armor sets and such to free up regular bank space
  • Transmogrification – the ability to modify your current armor to look like some other piece of armor

No word yet when this patch will happen, other than “soon”.  We all know that means a couple months from now at least.  I expect we’ll see it right before Blizzcon in October where they will probably announce the next expansion.

 

Rage of the Firelands – WoW Patch 4.2 June 28

firelands patchIt’s official (more or less) that the next major WoW content patch will go live on June 28.  With it comes a new raid, lots of new dailies from a new quest hub in Mt. Hyjal, more class tweaks, a new caster legendary weapon quest and a new level of armor (T12).  T11 armor will now be purchasable with Justice Points and all current Valor Points will be converted down to Justice Points with the patch.  Make sure that if you have a lot of combined points (Justice+Valor) that you spend them so that you don’t go over the 4000pt cap and lose your Valor points (anything over the cap will be turned into gold).
