Patch 4.0: The End is Nigh

Published on 10-11-2010 09:30 AM

Blizzard has extended maintenance for all US servers from 12:00AM Pacific to 12:00PM Pacific. Previous posts have confirmed that the Wrathful Season will end tomorrow, and also that end of Wrathful Season signifies the beginning of the patch. This means that there is a good chance that patch 4.0 will be launching on live servers tomorrow, which will include all of the content on the PTR.

What 4.0 DOES NOT include:

Flying mounts in Azeroth
New zones or zone changes (Unless they will be phased in as time goes on, which is likely.)
New class/race combos.
New level 85 spells

Patch 4.0 includes content for the Cataclysm pre-event, the new talent trees, and many other little surprises that have yet to be revealed. For you lore buffs out there, this patch is going to be a wonderland. The Twilight's Hammer doom cult has invaded Orgrimmar and Stormwind in an attempt to sew the seeds of chaos and drive the public into hysteria.

What to expect:

There will be a lot of build confusion and theorycrafting for the first day of the patch launch. Most WoW communities around the web will spend a lot of time discussing class balance.
The game will be very UNBALANCED. Blizzard has stated that some classes will do more damage than others. The new health pools and talents have been balanced around level 85, so expect some unfair battlegrounds. (Our theorycraft prediction shows that Feral Druids, BM Hunters, and Arms Warriors will be on top of the heap in PvP)
Some unannounced content. Blizzard always has a trick up their sleeve, and won't let any news slip of their secret planned events. We have discussed them at MMOwned in previous news posts, so go check them out.

Have fun with the new content, everyone.

Cheers!
