Upcoming Patch 2.4 Twists and surprises!

[Exoflesh]

As you may know M'uru from the paladin building in Silvermoon has gone missing And Liandra decided to go have a chat with A'dal in Shattrath. The lore even expands from there. It seems M'uru has been lured by Kael'Thas. They say in patch 2.4 M'uru will be the final boss in the Isle of Quel'Danas ( Also know as the sunwell plateau). He will be joined by Fel Kael'Thas and a young warrior who aids you in the dungeon. All throughout the raids the young warrior will be fighting a mysterious dark Naaru in a void dimension which you can see above you, though not much is know from that. The instance will feature three parts. The Master's Terrace which wil be a five man featuring Fel Kael'Thas and the new and improved dark M'uru, The Sunreach Armory which may be a 10-man, not confirmed yet. Several chain quests in the Armory will open you a portal straight to the final instance of the Sunwell Plateau, bosses not yet known be we do know a dragon raid will be featured in it.

That link will give you all the details for the 2.4 patch, inclduing new NPC's, armor, weapons, a new legendary hunters bow , and the new zone " Isle of Quel'danas". Maps included as well as videos of all the raids that go on in the instance.

Some more notes are the removal of attunement for Hyjal And BT. If you are already attuned you will receive a special title to your character " Hand of A'dal". I beleive the two instances will also drop badges of Justice now, for use in Shattrath. Also, healing may be nerfed a little bit along with shamans, yet again. And blizz may add immediate honor calculation instead of the 24 hour calculation that exists today.

Anyways check out the site, pretty neat vids all from the PTR. You can see the raids, how to get to the Island at level 1, new items, and all the patch notes as well. Hope you enjoy it

Thanks for the link. I am looking forward to this going live. I think the changes in the BGs will help focus on what they are supposed to be - PvP. The honor system looks inherently better in that you will get more honor from killing opponenents, thus encouraging more PvP battles.

It occurs to me that the relaxation of the attunement and general increased ease of everything means that they are concerned about content when Lich King comes out. Will the Outlands dungeons be forgotten like many of the high level instances before BC were? Will there be a collective disappointment that all the epics and reputation people worked for in BC will no longer matter? Only time will tell... In the meantime - i dont think i will be putting too much time into any one toon ; )

Not putting too much work into one toon can backfire on you my friend. I now have 3 different 70's and none are geared or skilled enough for my liking. Focus on and build up your favorite because it will likely be the first you work thru and advance fastest through the Xpac.

The whole PvP grind should be a lot easier now, with the (re)introduction of the PvP repeatable token turn-in for honor points. Hopefully the costs of the S2 gear won't be too high, so I can nab myself a S2 Spellblade (with wonderful Spell Hit on it for raiding) the day S4 comes out (on patch day, or near to it, I hear).

It looks like they may have fixed Warsong Gulch. Hopefully 2.4 will be the death knell of the 2+ hour game.
