The Lords of Nordrassil

Patch 2.3 is scheduled for next week (Wed 12th Nov for Europe) according to Drysc at the Wow Forums. So what’s the big fuss about, other than all the addons that I just asked you to install stopping working?

Here’s a quick summary of what 2.3 promises:

• Faster levelling from 20-60 and a new quest hub in dustwallow
• Alterac Valley reworked to stop the rush tactics
• Zul’Aman – a new 10 man raid instance to do once we’ve pwned Kara
• Heroic dungeons can be entered with honoured rep (rather than revered)
• New flight points e.g. Rebel Camp in Stranglethorn to help make that STV grind easier
• ‘Old-world’ instance loot buffed
• Elite mobs outside of pre-Burning Crusade dungeons have been changed to non-elite
• Healing items now grant 1/3 spell damage too

Full details are on the test realm patch notes; final confirmed details as we get them
