Title: 3.3 at last?
Post by: Dave on November 10, 2009, 06:36:01 AM
Does this mean that all of the 3.3 changes, like the new LFG tool, are going in today?   ;D

I believe the patch notes were updated for 3.3 in the PTR (player test realm).  I don't think they have released all the content ot be testing on the PTRs so I don't know when they would release it for live.  But hopefully I'm wrong, there are cool changes.

I think it will be at least another 3 weeks before it drops.
My bet is on it hitting in mid December.

looks like this is a week or three out the downloader started up this week.

I'd guess anywhere within the next 1-3 weeks.  Since the Icecrown raid progression is going to be gated they don't have to make sure that the whole thing is running perfectly before it's released, just the first stage.  The models and textures are all but finalized (that makes up the bulk of the pre-download) and the rest is just tweaking.

Another step closer as the background downloader is saving another chunk of the patch (up to 658Mb now).  The assumption is that 3.3 will be going live next week, so it looks like, given the way these things normally work, I won't be able to play Tuesday and possibly Wednesday next week due to all of the issues they have with every major update.

yes tuesday will be a bad day to play and do not forget the three hotfixes they will be pushing out real fast.

I think all the changes are worth a little downtime. That might be a good night to take my boys to the movies. :)

As was predicted, the patch is going out today.  For some reason it doesn't say when you load up WoW that they're doing maintenance today, but they're doing maintenance today.  They probably don't want to set a time on it since it's likely to be wrong anyway.

i was reading the patch notes and it said something about being able to go straight to Sapphrion in Naxx, that would be a nice encounter

Post by: Beorngar on December 08, 2009, 05:45:03 PM
Yes, that is true. We can now go directly to Saph then KT. I think that they did that because of the new weekly raid quests so that you don't have to clear all 4 wings if the target for the quest is either of those 2 bosses.
