Patch 6.1.2 PTR Patch Notes

Patch 6.1.2 is now available for testing on the Public Test Realms (PTR)! Participating on the Public Test Realms lets you test patches before it has been released on live realms. If you'd like to help test and provide feedback, you can start by copying your character and downloading the PTR client. Once you've had a chance to try things out, visit our PTR Discussion 6.1.2 forum to discuss the patch.

Introducing the WoW Token
Coming soon to an Azeroth near you: the WoW Token, a new in-game item that allows players to simply and securely exchange gold and game time between each other.

Players will be able to purchase a WoW Token through the in-game Shop for real money, and then sell it on the Auction House for gold at the current market price. When a player buys a WoW Token from the Auction House for gold, the Token becomes Soulbound, and the player can then redeem it for 30 days of game time.

  • The WoW Token feature will be enabled at a future date. Patch 6.1.2 adds in the framework needed for the WoW Token feature in the game client and is not active at this time. In the meantime, check out this FAQ for details on how the feature works.

    Not going to happen, I think. After all Grom is a conqueror and I think he would support the ideas of his son.....and *we* killed his son for that, not Gul'dan. At this point the story could turn in all directions tho...

    I think Gul'dan will finally break Grom(or force him to drink the demon blood).

    No, from the information before this Garrosh kept his mouth shut about the whole Hellscream bit of his name.

    However, if Gul'dan learned off the whole timey-whimey stuff that got us into this whole mess (a couple of interrogations on the right blackfuses would do the trick.) and figure it all out. For Grom, that was probably the first time it was said for real to him, but he always sorta had a feeling in the back of his head. Unless Garrosh spilled the beans off screen.

    He dies at the end of the Nagrand Quest chain. Thrall fights him and kills him in an EPIC cinematic!

    Prepare your garrison and await further instructions from Archmage Khadgar
    Didn't they say Garrisons are not mandatory ? Damn I hate this expac and the garrison stuff.
  1. vitor210's Avatar
    That was an epic cinematic, congratz Blizz you always manage to surprise us!

    Also, I'm starting to sense here that some "ally" of us is actual our enemy, how could Gul'dan know about Garrrosh being Grom's son? It doens't make any sense except for the fact that someone MUST have told him. And what about the "Fulfill your destiny" catchphrase he keeps using? In the WoD's begining cinematic I thought that was just something taht made sense at that time since the pit lord wanted them to drink his blood, but what if Gul'dan was talking about the "real" timeline, our timeline where the orcs HAVE IN FACT drank the blood ? He must know that we come from an alternate timeline, where the orcs drank the demon blood AND garry was grom's son.

    Now, who told him that? Archemage "secretly-is-Medivh" Khadgar? The demon lord that Gul'dan works for might know this? Or a third, misterrious choice?

    Ok so I watched it again and your right Guldan does mention Garrosh as Groms son first and Grom does seem a little surprised at the information. But still I remember reading here on MMOChamp that Grom wasnt going to find out that Garrosh was his son.

    This actually gives me faith, maybe we will have a third tier after all, this cinematic seems to have Kilrogg as final boss in second tier, and Gromm is the final boss xpac. Is really exciting.

    BTW, who's blood is the one he drinks, because with Manoroth death, his blood is no longer useful, I believe. Maybe he turns all spiky because is Archimonde's blood?!

    Maybe the final battle will be against Archimonde, and Gromm will be helping us or something (you know, like Norushen, he was listed as the boss, but actually we fight against the Amalgam thing).

    Yeah, Varian would at last get a worthy counterpart in Horde.

    But he did learn of the timey-whimey stuff, he mentions it to Khadgar after HM part of the quest.

    Fuck. Me.

    I wasn't prepared for that video at all. Fuck.

    Gul'Dan you piece of shit..
  1. Bmfstunner's Avatar
    I don't see Grom drinking the blood, it almost makes no sense story wise now. Grom now knows that Garrosh was his son, Garrosh was the one that told him not to drink the blood for it made them slaves. In order to honor his son, it would be an insult not to heed his son's words.

    I think Kilrogg drinking the blood fulfills the idea of a warlord drinking the blood too. I find it redundant that they would go the same route for Grom as Kilrogg.

    And if Grom doesn't drink the blood there is no way he's an enemy in a raid. Right now, he's shackled up and has become a prisoner of his own horde, why would we free him just to fight him?

    My guess is Gul'dan has become the final boss or he's the end boss for Tanaan Jungle with Archimonde being a surprise end boss for 6.3.

    I think Blizzard have said that, the final boss in Warlords won't be just Orc.

    Could be Kil'Jaeden in his full power.

    I still wonder what, they gonna do with Medivh.
    I really hope they doesn't just use him to a Plot device to get players the Ring.

    I do shit on blizz fairly often. But I will grant them this. The voice acting is superb, and Kil'rogg being the betrayer makes so much sense since he's one of the first warlocks to begin with. ("Eye of Kilrogg" spell, anyone?) Gul'Dan's voice is so delightfully sinister.

    Same I really hope he doesn't die.
  1. Drpizka's Avatar
    IMO Grom is not gonna be a boss. Horde and Alliance will help him get rid of the demon-possessed orcs+Gul'dan and then we will leave their timeline and run quickly back to nowadays Azeroth, because we will have pissed off Kil'jaeden really bad !

    also, according to cinematic, locks > warriors! discuss
