Patch 4.3.2 on Test Realms

Of course, RAM, Graphics card and HD speed also are part of the equation, but CPU makes a bigger difference. Also, the server and the connection speed affect this game.

This 64-bit client will allow WoW to take advantage of the architecture and instructions of a 64-bit processor (most people not using a completely obsolete paperweight should have a 64-bit processor by now. All multicore CPUs are 64-bit). This should give a boost to parallel processing and multitasking, but the question remains, just how much can this game benefit from this? As I am not a Computer Science major (yet) or a Computer Engineer or Electronic Engineer, I can only pose questions. Hopefully someone else can answer this, at least in generic terms.

Atm wow doesnt use more then 2 cores but with this 64 bit patch it will be able to use the most out of your cpu.
Aswell as wow doesnt use more then 2 Gb of ram atm and with this patch it will be able to use evrything u have.

So for ppl who run on a I7 and 8 gb + ram will defo see a major improvement.

I like the feldrake, it is very original and well designed.

Personally what I think he meant to say was ... you realize that compared to warlocks, no other class has access to their own class mount other than pally right? If locks get another class mount, all classes should get one also as compensation.

He knows that warlocks get their ground mounts as he clearly states it in his second sentence. Sure he overlooked death knights but that's a different story. He could have just worded it differently. Personally I'm of mind that only what, three (four if you count druids) have class mounts leaving the rest of the bunch in the cold, that it would be lame if they got their own random drake as well. My money would be on TCG or maybe pre-MOP event.

Cool, new drake.

Please update the ret paladin pvp set bonus to match the pve 2pc bonus. The old bonus is outdated from WOTLK and the pve bonus makes ret feel like it is supposed to be. I don't wanna sacrafice 600 resilience to enjoy to play my class in pvp.

hmmm i cant seem to find that Optimizer option on my launcher...? anyone else see it?

Oooooo...folder optimization? I'd love for wow to take up less space on my HD. The thing is massive although I'll admit some of that is my gigantic screenshot folder >.>

I can't find it either and my launcher is a higher version than what's listed on the screenshot.

V4.3.0.15050

Oh look, ANOTHER drake mount.

As do I

Even though it's just another reskin, I like the feldrake as it different enough from the other drakes in terms of its design. More green glow from its eyes please.

It's not an option you turn on or off.

It happens automatically when updating from the 4.3 PTR -> 4.3.2 PTR

got it thanks must be something they will push with the patch

Odd.. "fel drake" and "eye of the legion" 2 Outland sounding items?

"Feldrake mount". Ostensibly, a drake that has been affected by fel energy. Screenshot shows a mount that is in fact a drake corrupted by fel energy. Pages and pages (and loads of overwhelmingly intelligent FB comments) screaming about a reskin. God I love this community. (Personally, I think it looks cool, if only for it being another obtainable black dragon, as they're my favorite flight. I'm not entirely sold on the "spinning logo wooshy thing" like with the Darkmoon Bear or how the felfire effects look in action, as many of the special glow effects Blizzard produces look really great in stills, but like crap in execution - see Tyrael's Charger.)

LnL procc Ftw ! Finally.

Hai, ok reading these comments is bad for one's health, so I don't know why I keep doing it. I just wanted to say, meh at another "skinjob" mount, stop recycling if you make that much money blizz how is this even possible, I honestly don't understand where blizzard's great reputation comes from. Where is all this freaking money going to? There are so many bugs still in game (worgen males, wtf!) and so much recycling I was really hoping swtor would be better to replace this aging game but I tried beta and wept for that game too. And whoever was talking about the 2 new dragon models in cata, I don't know which you mean, but at least one of those, maybe both: just a reskin of the same model with some more bells and whistles, which is beyond sad for a company that makes so much money. I remember getting my vortex pinnacle drake and dying a bit inside realizing how it moved was oddly familiar lol... What I wanna know is, what does this 64bit client mean? Besides "good for the future" I haven't found any indication that this will be a performance increase for 64bit systems, some even say it could be worse lol. As wow is supposedly already optimized for multicores and larger amounts of ram memory.

Fel drake and eye pet probably new tcg items since the new set is based on demons.

the most warlock mount ever, I will do everything in my power to have it on my main.
