Blank screen on patch notes? Holy back-end fixes and stealth nerfs, Batman!

Yeah their web servers might take a little while to display the new page correctly  :grin:

My personal favorite highlights:
Starter mounts available at level 30 now (instead of 40).
Belf starter area flightmasters changed from bats to dragonhawks.
New 'Nether Ray Fry" pet available if your Skyguard rep is Exalted.
22-slot bags on sale in Lower City ... a new money sink is born!
Zoning into an instance on a PvE realm will now drop your PvP flag.
Miners will start finding green-tier gems again.

I dance a jig o joy at fixing cheat death. Though rogues are still retardedly imbalanced in arena.

I am saddened by not being able to purge mage/lock armors anymore.

I, however, am unsaddened by the exact same thing, so that evens out nicely eh?  :awesome_for_real:

Also... "Banker Meeda, in Area 52 is now in the...well...the bank" made me smile, which is also good :)

Holy crap. No more Curse of Shadows for warlocks. Curse of Elements handles everything!

EDIT: nm

Spellsteal needs to have a cooldown if I can't purge ice armor off anymore, kthx.

I made the mistake of checking the rogue forums earlier and judging by some of the posts there the world's about to end. 

(Either that or rogues got some unexpected, additional pvp nerf today.)

Rogues are probably crying that mage armor can't be removed with mass dispel by the priest in their cookie cutter PMR 3v3 anymore. Or that it is unfair that they now have to wear resilience in arena to survive just like every other class.

Considering the number of cheat-death rogues that have raped my warlock's ass over the last 2 weeks, most of whom had the illidan glaives or the eye-blinds or other highly recognizable T6 gear on.. I'll go with the latter.

My favorite is the change to PvE instances when someone is PvP flagged.

No more "raid aids" from the dumbass who got summoned from a BG.

The sweet taste of rogue tears...  :awesome_for_real:

Yes they did.  Some talent got cut from 10% to 5%.  Seemed pretty minor though.

As a mage.. I agree. If it had a cooldown (other than the GCD) then it'd save me wasting half my damn mana bar spamming it on pallies :p

All I have to say: mount at 30 that only cost 44G?  Hell yeah.

This was always so annoying, since group buffs and things like totems go bypass flagged people.

Why does anyone care about green gems? I had a serious glut of them even when they didnt drop from mines and they sell for shit, even cut.

When you have 3 of each, you can make a rare gem.  I horde as many greens as I can just for this purpose.

You also need them to transmute Metas, etc. 

*Edit:  Metas, not Primal Mights.

That reminds me, I need to start offloading gems before the general populace starts seeing the WotLK versions.  :grin:

WOLK is still a few months away, so you should be safe for a good few weeks yet.

Oh they must have added that since I left. Is it an alchemist skill? Same timer as transmutes? Or a jc skill?

Making rares is a JC recipe and has no timer.  Do it as much as you want.

Metas have a 23 hour timer  and are alchemist duties. (Yes, same timer as any transmute....which really sucks.)

Brilliant Glass (convert 3 of each uncommon gem into 1 random rare, with small chance at random epic) definately has a 23 hour timer for my Jewlcrafter.

Whoops, you are right.  I was thinking of breaking down shards on my enchanter.  They changed it to no timer a bit back.

I have crafters for everything but engineering.  I get confused easily.
