These are the patchnotes for the upcoming 3.2 patch:

Construction of the Crusaders' Coliseum is complete. Testing not yet available. New raid Normal and Heroic modes for the Crusaders' Coliseum can be toggled using the Dungeon Difficulty setting. This applies to 10 and 25-player versions. 10-player (Normal), 25-player (Normal), 10-player (Heroic) and 25-player (Heroic) all share separate raid lockout timers.
Trial of the Champion
5-player (Normal and Heroic mode) dungeon.
Daily quest added to the Heroic daily dungeon quest giver.
Trial of the Crusader
10 and 25-player (Normal mode) raid dungeon.
Trial of the Grand Crusader
10 and 25-player (Heroic mode) raid dungeon.
Crusaders' Tribute: Active on Heroic difficulty only, the tribute system will limit players on the number of attempts the raid is allotted each week. Additional rewards can be earned depending on the number of attempts left in the tribute run each week when the final boss is defeated.
 
Isle of Conquest, the new 40 vs. 40-player siege-style battleground is now available for testing.
Two level brackets are available: 71-79 and 80.
Defend the walls of your keep and protect your general by killing enemy players and destroying their siege vehicles.
Capture the Docks, Airship Hangar, or Siege Workshop for access to destructive siege vehicles or strategic attacks on your enemy's base.
Capture the Oil Derrick or Cobalt Mine for their resources to garner reinforcements and a steady flow of bonus honor.
To claim victory, bust through the enemy's keep walls (or find other ways to get inside) and kill their general, or obliterate your opponents until their reinforcements are depleted.
The Argent Tournament Expands
All new Argent Crusader daily quests and rewards have been added for players with the Crusader title. Rewards include a new Argent Crusader banner and tabard (which can port players to the tournament grounds), a mounted squire (can periodically run bank, mail or vendor errands for the player), a paladin-exclusive Argent Crusader Charger mount, and new heirloom items.
All new Silver Covenant and Sunreaver daily quests and rewards have been added for players exalted with these factions. Rewards include tabards, new ground and flying mounts, and a new pet.
o Just when you thought you had seen the last of the Black Knight, he makes his astonishing return to the tournament. Wait, didnt you kill him?
New druid art for cat and bear forms has been added. There are now five unique color schemes for each form and faction. Changing hair color (night elves) or skin tone (tauren) via the barbershop will change the look of one's cat and bear forms.
Portals from Orgrimmar and Stormwind have been added leading players to the Stair of Destiny at the Dark Portal. Once there, players can access a flight path directly from the Stair of Destiny to Shattrath.
A new zeppelin docking ramp has been added to Thunder Bluff allowing Horde players easier transport to and from Orgrimmar.
The local Postal Service has grown tired of walking so far each day to collect mail and has decided to install a large number of new mailboxes to Stormwind, Undercity, Darnassus and Orgrimmar.
Northrend Children's Week has arrived in Dalaran! Players can find out more by visiting the Eventide District.
Copied Test Realm characters will no longer be copied with their achievement history in order to better facilitate the character copy process.
           PvP             

Arenas
The newest season of Arena gear can only be purchased if you meet the requirements with your 3 or 5-player team rating. Rating requirements from 2-player teams can still be used to purchase the previous season of gear.
Dalaran Sewers
The entire Arena has increased in size by 25%.
Mounts can now be used in this Arena.
The position and collision of the crates on the central platform has been modified.
Ruins of Lordaeron
Alcoves have been removed from the starting chambers.
Two line-of-sight tombstones have been added to the slime pool on the southern side of the map.
The collision around the central tomb has been smoothed out to prevent players from becoming stuck on the terrain as often.
 
Battlegrounds
Battleground experience has arrived!
Players will now be awarded experience for completing objectives and actions that yield honor in Battlegrounds (honorable kills not included).
Players who do not wish to gain experience through PvP can visit Behsten in Stormwind or Slahtz in Orgrimmar - both located near the Battlemasters in either city - and turn off all experience accumulation for the cost of 10 gold.
Disabling experience gains will prevent a player from gaining experience through any means available in the game.
Players with experience gains turned off who compete in Battlegrounds will face off only against other players with experience gains turned off.
Behsten and Slahtz can reinstate experience gains for players, for a 10 gold fee of course. Any experience that would've been accumulated if experience gains were enabled cannot be recovered.
Battlemasters in major cities affiliated with specific Battlegrounds have been replaced with a Battlemaster for each faction that will allow players to queue for any Battleground. Battlemasters for specific Battlegrounds will still be seen around the cities during corresponding Battleground holiday weekends.
When standing at a capture point that you control, you will gain a buff called Honorable Defender. This buff grants +50% honor gained from kills. This currently affects Arathi Basin, Eye of the Storm and Isle of Conquest.
Arathi Basin
The time it requires to capture a base has been reduced to 8 seconds, down from 10 seconds.
The game now ends when one team reaches 1600 victory points, down from 2000.
Eye of the Storm
The time it requires to capture the center flag has been reduced to 8 seconds, down from 10 seconds
The game now ends when one team reaches 1600 victory points, down from 2000.
Strand of the Ancients
The faction starting on attack/defense will now be randomized at the start of each match.
Warsong Gulch
There is a now a 20-minute timer on this Battleground. After that time, the team with the most flag captures wins. If this would result in a tie, the team that captured the first flag wins. If neither side has captured a flag, then the game ends in a tie.
 
Wintergrasp
To provide players with a more transparent notification of when Wintergrasp battles occur, as well as better control zone population and stability, several changes have been made.
Players now have the option to queue for Wintergrasp from a Wintergrasp Battlemaster in any capital city or by simply entering the Wintergrasp zone.
Queuing will begin 15 minutes before each battle. If chosen, you will automatically be teleported to the zone. Any players in the zone who have not been chosen from the queue will be teleported out when the battle begins.
The queue system remains active for the entire battle. As soon as a player leaves, a new one will be chosen from the queue.
Trying to enter Wintergrasp during an active battle for which you have not been chosen will teleport you out. Please note that, as you are now able to fly over Wintergrasp, you will only be teleported out if you try to land and join the battle.
Level 80 players get higher priority in the queue than lower level players. In addition, a random selection of queued players will be taken from both the Battlemasters and the zone itself.
The queue will accept up to 100 players from each faction, resulting in a maximum battle of 200 players at a time.

Block Value: The amount of bonus block value on all items has been doubled. This does not affect the base block value on shields or block value derived from strength.
On-Use Block Value Items: All items and set bonuses that trigger temporary increases to block value have been modified. Instead of increasing their block value amount by 100% like other items, they have all had their effect durations doubled.

this patch is ruining the game even more... now that the knife is already in the heart of wow, blizzard is just stabbing it in even more and twisting it around.

"Portals from Orgrimmar and Stormwind have been added leading players to the Stair of Destiny at the Dark " How many people are actually this lazy? just walk it, im sure u have the Flightpath to SoS or Blasted lands? it really isn't that hard.

"A new zeppelin docking ramp has been added to Thunder Bluff allowing Horde players easier transport to and from Orgrimmar." More lazy players? too many horde QQing that darnassus got their own boat that goes to stormwind?

"The local Postal Service has grown tired of walking so far each day to collect mail and has decided to install a large number of new mailboxes to Stormwind, Undercity, Darnassus and Orgrimmar." LAZY

"Battleground experience has arrived!" i actually like this feature because you will be able to turn it off if u wish to for 10g

"Players with experience gains turned off who compete in Battlegrounds will face off only against other players with experience gains turned off." /sigh cutting the PvP population in half.

" The time it requires to capture a base has been reduced to 8 seconds, down from 10 seconds.The game now ends when one team reaches 1600 victory points, down from 2000." making this way too easy... i love long battlegrounds, more honor gained but now people just wanna get in and get out. this is for EOTS too

"There is a now a 20-minute timer on this Battleground. After that time, the team with the most flag captures wins. If this would result in a tie, the team that captured the first flag wins. If neither side has captured a flag, then the game ends in a tie." cmon blizzard, you are tearing any love that i still have for this game right out.

"Players now have the option to queue for Wintergrasp from a Wintergrasp Battlemaster in any capital city or by simply entering the Wintergrasp zone." just fly there, you hearthstone is probably already set to dalaran. and now you can only have 100 people per faction in wintergrasp, if u try to go there and land, you get ported out.

pretty much the whole entire mount section represents easieness. The cast time for summoning any ground mount is now 1.5 seconds, down from 3 seconds. Apprentice Riding (Skill 75): Can now be learned at level 20 for 4 gold. Mail will be sent to players who reach level 20 directing them to the riding trainer.Journeyman Riding (Skill 150): Can now be learned at level 40 for 50 gold. Mail will be sent to players who reach level 40 directing them back to the riding trainer. Expert Riding (Skill 225): Can now be learned at level 60 for 600 gold from trainers in Honor Hold or Thrallmar. Faction discounts now apply (Honor Hold for Alliance; Thrallmar for Horde). Flight speed at this skill level has been increased to 150% of run speed, up from 60%.
^Summary^: reg mount lvl 20 4g epic mount lvl 40 50g reg flying mount lvl60 150% speed

"Mana Regeneration: All items that provide "X mana per five seconds" have had the amount of mana they regenerate increased by approximately 25%" now pallies will NEVER run out of mana while healing.

"Vendor prices will now be listed on items whether or not players are at a vendor." at least this makes it easier... its not like there was aleady an addon for this or anything

well thats all i have to QQ about for now. if you have any other things that you hate about this patch, please feel free to post

[Mitron]

I like the new patch since im not a hardcore player so i want stuff pretty easy.... tho not too easy... in my opinion this isnt too easy....yet ^^

[Obama]

I like the new additions. Won't be playing it though. Haven't played for months xD.

[einar325]

Mmhm, I'm one of those who can't be arsed to work hard for stuff. /Ashamed

[Ekyo]

I am personally looking forward to the Isle of Conquest. I think it will be a very fun large scale seige PvP environment

[tagala]

i just think its bullshit that we worked so hard for some of these things... i got my reg mount at lvl 40 for 100g, my epic mount at lvl 60 for 1000g, my regular and epic flyer at lvl 70 for a total of over 6000g, ive invested well over 8000g in mounts alone and now it costs like nothing

[Mitron]

well tagala.... im only lvl 53.... highest lvled character.... i really appreciate the new changes.

[Roaringjet]

They really had to touch WSG didnt they

And for that badge change... Getting full iLVL 213+ gear by doing UK hc.. I... Cant... Find the words :E

[Cancerpuffs]

@Tagla, wouldn't you have liked it to be a bit easier and not have to invest 8000g? I really like the changes. There is no problem with things being convenient. I don't get why your mad about this, not like the game is suppose to be about traveling (Idk maybe you enjoy traveling).

[KuRIoS]

this is why i stopped raiding when TBC arrived and the first nerf arrived for raiding instances... Look at ulduar and see how the patch has changed a lot stuff.
For every new patch that arrives you can read NEEEERF this is because of the 13 year old kids that always scream the loudest, it is sad, but blizzard is losing more and more of their hardcore players.
"we have changed from 40 -> 25 man because we found it that some guilds could not have 40 man on at the same time" <- then ****ing do an effort and have it, that is a part of the game to make an effort and plan stuff now its just "oh we need someone for our guild run in Uldluar any one wanna come?"
World for Pubertykids not World of Warcraft.

That is so true, WoW is made so much easier, and the magic of raids is gone, nearly everything is PUG nowadays, it's such a shame. I remember the times when raiding ragnaros, or even onyxia, used to be hard, and required a skilled guild, now people get some gear, get some bandages, and voila onyxia is down, by one person.

Where is WoW going?

[Sharido]

I'm iffy on these changes...

I just started Ulduar on my main, so Im not too involved...

I'm just meh. This games changing a lot...I just wanna see where it goes now.

[raze1225]

plz stop the qq you dont like the changes because your into ulduar and hardcore rite. but what about every1 whos level 1-79? or new 80s or people still in naxx 10 gear? wtf are they supposed to do? run heroics and pug naxx 10's and pug 25m for gear for probably months if they have bad luck with rolls? stop crying because the game is now more of a game instead of your life.

[haxito]

the only thing i like its the 20 min wg. It can has a lot of new strategies now to win, and i can be funny.

The other things... no comments. EMblems of conquest en heroics, well, i can gear my alts, but it will got my angry that a noob that do utgarde every day will have the same helm that me, who i spend 300g and 3 hours every day in ulduar trying to defeat the hardmodes.

And wintergrasp... now its a bg, a bg that disturbs in the middle of northrend. I hope that i will fly over winter

[Sharido]

The wintergrasp change I admit I REALLY don' like...

A queue that's randomly chosen? Yeah, GL getting in now >_>
