2.4 Statement (and eventual patch notes)Follow

I really doubt there will be any serious rogue changes.

Blues always get really excited and spill the beans* when there are cool things happening in a patch.

*Meaning they just tell us that something awesome will happen in a future patch so people don't quit.

I saw a blue post somewhere stating that, in 2.4, honor will be rewarded instantly, and spendable instantly. Part of that is removing DR on repeated kills of the same player. Instead, if a player dies 50 times in a single BG they will now be worth no honor.

Hang on let me dig it up.

Ok I can't find the actual blue post, buts it's on the front page of http://worldofraids.com/ The src takes you to a Neth one liner.

WTB sunwell content, otherwise I don't care. And please don't make us grind another freaking 125,000-200,000 honor in the same stupid battlegrounds. Honestly, ***** season 4, I don't know why anyone wants it.

season 4 wont happen for a loooong time. at least till 2.5, possibly 2.6, or some sub-patch of 2.5.

start looking for season 4 once you see all kinds of info about "season 3 invitationals" hitting the web. also, you wont likely see the next season until blizzard deems enough people have progressed into pve content. s3 wasnt released until there was a fairly large percentage (relatively speaking) of people into bt/hyjal. i know i fought my fair share of pve-weapon nubs in s2 waiting eagerly for s3 to come out so i could upgrade my weapon and be on par with the jackasses.

then blizz had to go and add rating requirements on weapons. how i hate thee blizz. how i hate thee.

You are why I hated PvE.

There is a difference between a "challenge" and a "time sink". As far as a GAME is concerned....

Anything you can do by yourself is a challenge, anything you have to spend 20+ hours a week on with 24 other people meeting up at a certain time sectioning away a certain part of your life is a time sink.

Yelling at a person who likes playing this game solo and wants to get good gear because he doesn't raid is like yelling at a kid who plays football in 1st grade not trying out for the NFL. Some people really do play games for fun. If "fun" to you is spending 20+ hours a week doing the same damn thing over and over again hoping you get lucky (which is all it is really, luck. You just have a higher chance of getting lucky the better gear you get) then that's your personal preference. Some people however like going outside and like doing things meaningful with their life. These people only want to play an hour or two a day, not sit solely at their computer in south park fashion.

The raiders will never be able to see the real world from their high horse. Some people really just don't want to play this game as a job.

Great analogy. Besides...what did ur post have to do with anything I said? Or the poster I quoted for that matter? You really do just talk to make urself look like an *** don't you? /impressed!

Read the rest of the notes about Sap. "Everything that used to stop Sap still does", etc.

The first three bosses in both zones put Loot Reaver to shame in terms of relative difficulty. Rage Winterchill could be 20-manned by a 5/6-3/4 guild without too much difficulty, and Anetheron can be as well although it's rough. Kaz'Rogal (more precisely, Kaz'Rogal's trash) would require a full raid, but the boss himself isn't exaclty hard.

Naj'entus is a decent fight, but Supremus and Akama are complete jokes... and I do mean complete jokes.

It gets harder from there on in, but I'd expect to see guilds taking advantage of at least Rage Winterchill even if they're just working their way through the start of T5.

It's not just you, every class got shorted.

Blizz really over-hyped this one, I don't see a single change in there that is game-breaking. In fact, most of them are changes that SHOULD have been that way to begin with (e.g. not having to go outside to summon).

there weren't a lot of pvp changes but w/e. loads of new loot and fun. to say that 2.4 brings nothing is a complete understatement and a little ignorant. the dynamics of the new area are awesome. Doing dailies to get your server access to new bosses and items to me sounds like a blast. Not to mention that we are going to fight KJ. Seems like these forums are getting really pvp oriented. Im not big on PVP really Im one of those die hard raider types that doesn't really get the whole pvp thing.

no I wasn't came in when it had already been done to death. But its not exactly a AQ reprise. Well honestly cant say that for sure, but they are mentioning some really interesting events and additions to game play/story line that I think merit the lack of a, "finally I can beet ze warrs without promlbez yayz", buff.
