All the information and the official patch notes are available below.

I'm excited for my new Ancient Sea Turtle though. Thats pretty neat, or the foxes possibly.

Changes to existing zones

Re: Patch 4.0.3a - The world ends this week on live servers!
That's what I keep asking myself. The answer they gave not a good one. I can only hope if the players make a big enough stink about it then they will bring them back. Alot of alts are in dal or shat because it's easier to get from one part of the world to the next.Gimlion wrote:Wtf?! They got rid of the portals why?

Re: Patch 4.0.3a - The world ends this week on live servers!
Besides that, I'm looking forward to the changes. My biggest decision is going to be desiding which server to put my Undead Hunter on. I have room on Alterac, and then my alts can send her stuff, like money, but another Petopian wouldn't be bad either. I was going to make my Troll Druid on Nesingwary too ...
Decisions decisions.

Also, here are the hunter notes:
GOOD NEWS that disengage dropped again. Deterrence is amazing, but I'm glad to see this swap.All special attacks based on weapon damage (except Scattershot) are now normalized.
Scare Beast is now available at level 36, up from level 14, and has had its training cost updated.
Deterrence is now available at level 78, up from level 36, and has had its training cost updated.
Disengage is now available at level 14, down from level 78, and has had its training cost updated.
Glyphs
The level requirements for glyphs that affect Scare Beast, Deterrence, and Disengage have been altered to correspond with the level changes of these abilities.
Bug Fixes
The Core Hound pet ability Ancient Hysteria now places its own unique debuff on affected players that has the same effect as Sated and Exhaustion.
Certain pets should no longer forget how to Dash.
Edit to add other stuff I missed. THE DASH BUG IS GETTING FIXED, YAY! And hooray for puppy lust fixes too!

I'm surprised there wasn't an Aspect of the Cheetah level drop as well...it's in such a bizarre place right now since you don't get it until after you have a mount...and it was always that ability that was a great help to get before acquiring a mount, after that it's use is more limited.Kalliope wrote:The boats and zeppelins got moved more inside the cities for a reason; it's not THAT big a deal, honestly.

Yeah, the zep tower is inside Org now. The FP is near there and is closer to the main gate now, I think. I was very disoriented. >_<Royi wrote:They're getting moved into the cities now?
