[thatbloke]

I would try and add a list of the enchantment changes but I can't get it formatted right with a straight copy n paste, so its enough to say that there are massive changes in the required mats for alot of enchants.

Also a large number of pvp epics are available from Lake Wintergrasp.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE:
There are two currently known bugs with the 3.0.8 patch, they will likely be hotfixed rather sharpish:

"When the next minor content patch is released players may notice two separate issues. The warlock spell Ritual of Summoning can only be used once every two minutes. Additionally, there are some human female animation errors, specifically when using two-handed weapons or shooting with a ranged weapon. Both of these issues are actively being addressed and we hope to have a fix available shortly after the patch releases."

 

[Evil Emz]

Wow you work hard on that


Can u show me some nice pvp epics from Lake Wintergasp. Somehow, I cant access MMO-champion

mmo-champion is having some server issues at the moment, I'll try and get the list up in a bit or when I get to work later

 

[Silk]

That's great news

The rep changes mean I can finally grind some factions I missed (and get the last 6 mounts I need for albino drake)!

Then you just need to get the 100-mount achievement

 

[Silk]

Then you just need to get the 100-mount achievement

Nah, imo the albino drake is nicer than the 100-mount new ones.

 

[Windzarko]

There's plenty of undocumented changes as well (I can't be arsed to look through that list and see what's been worked into the notes and what hasn't), might be worth bearing in mind tomorrow if something seems odd/different/new but wasn't in the notes.

No mention of Molten Core and being able to Raggy without the quintessence... hope they haven't dropped that

Buggy McBugsticks

mmo-champion have an update on the state of known bugs in this patch, which they hope to have fixed very soon:

Quote from Blizzard staff
Battle For Wintergrasp Update
We’re actively investigating Wintergrasp impacting realm stability and we’re working to resolve these issues. If needed, we may temporarily disable the Battle for Wintergrasp on all realms. If this should happen, players will still be able to venture into the zone, but will not be able to participate in the Battle itself. (Source)

[US] Account-Wide Death Knight Creation
It was anticipated that with the release of the current patch, 3.0.8, players would be able to create a new death knight on any realm within their region. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we are not able to make this available as of yet. We do anticipate making this available in the near future and will do our best to keep everyone informed of when this becomes available.

Please keep in mind that when implemented restrictions will still apply to new, non-transfer realms such that death knights cannot be created on those realms until you level a character to level 55 on that realm or until transfer restrictions are removed.

[...] Please be aware that select players are currently able to create death knights on realms other than the one they currently have a level 55+ character on while others are still unable to do so at this time. We are currently working to address this issue and anticipate this to be corrected as of tonight’s rolling restarts. We will post additional updates after the completion of the restarts. (Source)

Human Female Animation

• There are some human female animation errors, specifically when using two-handed weapons or shooting with a ranged weapon. (Source)

Death Knight (Skills List / Talent + Glyph Calc.)

• Howling Blast has a 5 sec cooldown. There is a tooltip error where it appears that the spell has no cooldown, but the game will still enforce one. We hope to hotix the UI soon. (Source)
• There is a known bug on Obliterate rank 5 and possibly Empower Rune Weapon, depending on when that change was made. We should be able to hotfix those soon. (Source)

Warlock (Skills List / Talent + Glyph Calc.)

• We had to make a change to the new warlock summoning mechanic at the last second to prevent an exploit. Our apologies to all the law-abiding warlocks who have to suffer with a painful cooldown on your summon in order to fix this problem. We plan on getting the Ritual working correctly as soon as possible. You won't have to put up with a 2 minute cooldown for more than a few days. Standard caveats apply that this could change for any number of reasons, but we wanted to keep you informed of our plans at this time. (Source)
• The Felhunter and a couple of other demons should have significantly gained health. If you Felhunter was at 8K yesterday he should be closer to 16K today. The exact number will depend on your gear and talents. We plan on hotfixing the warlock pet health. I don't want to throw around any more numbers because it's going to depend a lot on lock gear and talents. Unfortunately sometimes things work differently between our servers and live. It's a bug and we will get it fixed.

In short: it means that if people need to leave raids and expect a summon back, only one per warlock will be allowed to go.

 

[Silk]

Awww I was looking forward to the DK creation more than anything, planned to start an alliance one on my old server with Sita (she doesn't have a 55 on that realm tho) since I've not seen any high end alliance content.

*raises fist in anger*

Seriously how hard can that change be? :/

 

[thatbloke]

Wintergrasp HAS now been disabled.

I would put the source in but the fecking WoW forums went down for maintenance just as I was reading them :/

EDIT: It also appears that the DK creation is a bit hit n miss, it may work or it may not.

EDIT2: There is a new matchmaking system in place for Arenas, this should hopefully match teams up closer skill together.

Also there is a new interface for chatting to a GM - instead of appearing in your usual chat window you now get a separate interface for it.

EDIT3: Apparently Moonkins can now dispel poisons in form.... and moonfire has a new animation

MOAR EDITZ: In a comment on mmo-champion, someone has confirmed that the stuff to go and get Raggie in MC has now been removed. If you had the required rep and stuff to do it in the first place, you will now have a new Feat of Strength called "The Fifth Element"

OMG YET MOAR EDITZ: Apparently Sapphiron has had his aggro range and hit-box reduced, so you shouldn't get cleaved as much (possibly) and also if you wipe you should now be able to get him into the middle much easier.
