This still sounds tentative, but yes, if all goes as they're planning, we'll see 4.0 on that day.We are currently planning to end Arena Season 8 as early as October 12. At that point we will go through our normal process to determine who is eligible for the end-of-season rewards. This process should take approximately one week. It's very important for players who feel that they may be eligible for the Arena-specific titles and/or the Wrathful Gladiator’s Frostwyrm to refrain from transferring their character to another realm until after Arena Season 8 ends.
The next Arena Season will begin for level-85 players approximately one week after the official launch of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. During the break between seasons, all rated matches will be turned off and only skirmishes will be available. All Team Ratings, Personal Rating, and Arena Points will be wiped when Arena Season 9 begins, but Matchmaking Rating and Honor Points converted to the new currency system will remain.

We're very close to the release of Patch 4.0.1, at this point the only question is "How close?"
As far as I can tell, you can probably expect the patch on October 5th or October 12th. Ghostcrawler already suggested that the patch would be deployed right before the end of the arena season and added that "they shouldn't have a lasting impact on ratings, titles, and the like".

We are prepared to just drop a temporary player damage nerf on all BGs and Arenas if necessary just so things don't feel too silly until everyone can level up to 85.
Yeah, I had to read GC's post like 3 times until i realized what he was talking about. That and the new streaming trial client is going live on the 5th (according to the official website).. makes me think 4.0.1 is coming out on the 5th.Sarayana wrote:I'm guessing the 5th if arena season ends the 12th, simply because of what GC wrote about there being no lasting impact on ratings. Sounds to me like the changes are going live slightly beforethe end of the season. But yeah, either the 5th or 12th sound like good guesses.
Someone just pointed out that the EU site has been updated and now shows October 13th, it either means that the patch is postponed, or that it will be deployed one week later in Europe.
Umm yeah.. posted that about 3 hours too soon...AdamSavage wrote:Something tells me that BM isn't going to get much more of Nerf. I think they want it to hit hard because everything else is hitting hard. That and it would create problems if you nerfed the dmg when you reach 81 etc. I guess I will have to see when it goes live.
yah kinda putting my foot in mouth. However I'm not crying wolf quite yet. I want this beta build to hit ptr so I can see the difference is. I know my hunter well and that's why I did a copy and not pre made. I can tell when when I'm doing more dmg even without a dps meter. It's still nice to see number though.Slickrock wrote:Umm yeah.. posted that about 3 hours too soon...AdamSavage wrote:Something tells me that BM isn't going to get much more of Nerf.

My guess is we'll see it the 12th. ( I sure hope so, I'll be on vacation next week, and if 4.0.1 goes live on the 5th I'll loose about 3k instead of making 3-4k on stuff I'm gonna mass-transmute when the cooldowns are gone).AdamSavage wrote:There is an update on MMO about the patch.
