    Patch 3.3.3 on Live Servers This Week

    Update - Yes, the Icecrown Citadel buff is still at 5%. You can stop asking.

    Patch 3.3.3 on Live Servers This Week
    Patch 3.3.3 will hit the live servers this week, it's time for the super-big recap of all the changes and additions from this patch.

    Patch 3.3.3: Frozo The Renowned
    Originally Posted by Zarhym (Blue Tracker)
    I'm sure some of you noticed this in the 3.3.3 PTR patch notes:
    • Frozo the Renowned has moved into the Dalaran Magus Commerce Exchange and will be trading your Frozen Orbs for various other trade goods.

    For those curious, here are the items for which you can trade your Frozen Orbs to Frozo. These each cost 1 Frozen Orb unless noted otherwise in parentheses:


    Patch 3.3.3 - Random Dungeons Changes
    Patch 3.3.3 should be deployed during the next maintenance on live servers and it's time to mention a few interesting changes to the Dungeon Finder that I forgot to report in the past weeks. Tons of minor changes have been made to make your life easier but there are two changes that will probably make you very happy.

    First, the patch notes mention a change to "skip" the introduction of Culling of Stratholme. The change doesn't sound really exciting but it's actually a huge improvement over the previous version, you can basically talk to Chromie and skip all the roleplay to jump directly to the first Scourge wave. A couple of other tweaks have also been made to make the dungeon slightly faster and I'm pretty sure you won't skip it anymore. (Especially with a Deserter debuff extended to 30 minutes)



    The second major changes to the random dungeon system is the new vote kick system, you can now give a reason when you start a vote to kick someone. At some point it was mentioned in a blue post that the 15 minute limit before you can kick someone was gone, but it doesn't seem to be the case in the current build of the PTR. We will have to wait and see how it works on the live servers.




    Patch 3.3.3 Professions Changes
    Patch 3.3.3 will introduce a couple of VERY interesting changes to professions. The first part of the change is obviously the removal of most of the transmutation cooldowns, it will affect most tiers of crafted items and it wouldn't be surprising to see items like Breastplate of the White Knight drop from 4000 to 2000G at the AH.

    The 2nd part is also very interesting if you're looking for cheap epic gear to start running instances with your alts, all the crafted recipes from Ulduar had their reagents cost considerably lowered and you can expect to find these items for less than 1000G.

    Reminder
    • Frozo the Renowned will let you trade Frozen Orbs for a lot of rare reagents, including Crusader/Runed Orbs and Eternal elements.

    Patch 3.3.3 Battlegrounds and Honor Changes
    Patch 3.3.3 brings a couple of changes to the Battleground system, the new system is heavily inspired from the current random dungeon system and it should be pretty easy to understand.

    Random Battleground and Call to Arms
    Call to Arms are no longer a quests and are directly integrated to the battlegrounds interface, a new "Random Battleground" option has been added and give you the same honor bonus as the Call To Arms, but applied to any battleground.

    • The first time you win a Call to Arms or a Random Battleground, you gain 30 Honorable Kills worth of bonus honor and 25 Arena points.
    • Losing the battleground doesn't remove the ability to get this bonus, you can just try again.
    • After you won a Random Battleground or a Call To Arms for the first time of the day, the bonus is lowered to 15 Honorable Kills worth of bonus honor.
    • You can only get the 30 HK bonus honor for a Call to Arms or a Random Battleground once in a day, the bonuses aren't "stackable" and both are lowered to 15 HK. (See screenshot)


    Honor Prices Changes / Battleground Marks Removal
    All the battleground marks are being removed from the game.

    • Players will be able to exchange all their marks (AV, AB, EoTS, IQ, SoTA, WG) for Commendation of Service. Each Commendation of Service costs 1 mark and rewards you with 185 Honor.
    • All the items bought with marks had their price changed and can now be bought with honor only.
    • If you're interested in the old PvP rewards (some of them looked pretty nice), their price was also changed and it will be much easier to get them. Expect to spend 25,000 honor for a 2H weapon and 13,000 for a 1H. A full pre-BC epic PvP set will cost you 74,000 Honor.

    Of course some of the price changes are more interesting than the others, for example you don't have to farm marks anymore to get your PvP mounts and you can just buy them for 50,000 Honor.

    Patch 3.3.3 Mounts
    Patch 3.3.3 adds a couple of new mounts to the game.

    Celestial Steed
    The Celestial Steed is probably the most impressive mount of his patch, it looks like a mix of Invincible and Algalon. I'm not really sure where this mount will drop for the moment but considering how cool it looks, I wouldn't expect it to be widely available.

    HTML Code:
    <object width="640" height="405"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8KvDDFi0Fuo&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="wmode" value="opaque"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8KvDDFi0Fuo&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="405" wmode="opaque"></embed></object>

    Blazing Hippogryph and Wooly White Rhino
    Both mounts are supposed to be TCG Rewards but as you probably know, Blizzard and Upper Deck Entertainment won't be working together anymore in 2010 and the future of the WoW TCG game is unclear. The Blazing Hippogryph was supposed to be a reward of the Wrathgate TCG expansion (UDI stated that Wrathgate Booster won't go into production) and the Wooly White Rhino is currently a reward of the "Icecrown" TCG expansion.

    According to a recent announcement from Blizzard, the TCG expansions will be released later this year and nothing should really change for players on the TCG side.


    Crimson Deathcharger / Azure Deathcharger
    These mounts are most likely a reward of the new Icecrown Citadel Quests. The spell for the Azure Deathcharger hasn't been added to the game during PTR testing and so far you should only expect to see the Crimson version of the mount in-game.


    X-53 Touring Rocket
    Another mount from an unknown source, it looks like it could be the first multi-passenger flying mount of the game.


    Frosty Flying Carpet (Tailoring Only)[b]
    The Pattern: Frosty Flying Carpet is sold by Frozo the Renowned in Dalaran for Frozen Orbs x 6.



    Patch 3.3.3 Pet - Lil'XT and Celestial Dragon
    One of the latest 3.3.3 PTR build added a new pet to the game: Lil' XT. We don't know what the drop location is for the moment but the name is very similar to Lil' KT from the Blizzard Store and the description mentions "Action Figure", it might be another pet that players can get out of the game. (But not necessarily)

    He looks pretty cute and has a couple of unique animations + its own voice!

    HTML Code:
    <object width="640" height="405"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xzvwK_NFshU&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xzvwK_NFshU&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="405"></embed></object>


    Also, the Celestial Dragon is a new mini-pet from an unknown source, he is very similar to the new Celestial Steed mount.



    New Icecrown Citadel Quests in Patch 3.3.3 [SPOILER]
    Patch 3.3.3 added even more quests to the Icecrown Citadel! They all seem to be part of the same questline and according to the descriptions we can assume it will start from Item #51315, most likely dropped by the Lich King.

    • Quests descriptions aren't available yet, the description text for each quest is a transcript of the sound files.
    • We can't know for sure how it will drop, the 3 possibilities are: A drop from the Lich King in 25-Man Heroic Mode, drop from the Lich King in 10-Man Heroic Mode, Shadowmourne extra quest rewards.

    Thanks to Tyrsenus and the wonderful users who did most of the work in this forum thread.

    Quest - Quest: Personal Property
    Reward - Item #51316 (Maybe the loot bag for the other items?)
    Description
    Bring the Sealed Chest to Highlord Darion Mograine in Icecrown Citadel.

    You can detect no hinges or openings on this box. Were it not for the shifting of items inside, it could easily be mistaken for solid metal. If anyone could know the method of its opening, it would be Highlord Mograine.

    Presumably, opening the box will contain five items, which the player will then return to their respective owners:

    Quest - Jaina's Locket
    Reward - Item #52251 - Might be tied to Portal: Dalaran. (1 min cooldown)
    Description
    What's this? He... he kept it.. all this time he kept it! I knew! I sensed a part of him still alive... trapped... struggling. Oh Arthas! Perhaps he might someday remember from what he once was... By the Light may he at last find rest, free from the icy grip of that terrible blade!

    Quest - Muradin's Lament
    Reward - Item #52251 - Possibly a flavor item to transform into a Frostborn - Frostborn Illusion - Screenshot
    Description
    Oh lad, how I missed those endless days in Lordaeron, sharpening your skill with this dull blade. Forging you into a weapon meant to withstand the demands of a great destiny. Heh… You sure put them skills to use, didn't you lad? If only I'd been able to stop you that day, how different things migha' been. If only I'da never discovered that accursed blade. Farewell, Arthas, my brother.

    Quest - Sylvanas' Vengeance
    Reward - Item #52253 - Possibly another flavor item, probably tied to the Lament of the Highborne spell.
    Description
    So, it is done. I had not dared to trust my senses. Too many times has the Lich King made me to be a fool. Finally, he has been made to pay for the atrocities he imposed upon my people. May Azeroth never fail to remember the horrible price we paid for our weakness, for our pride. But what now, Hero? What of those freed from his grasp but still shackled to their mortal coils? Leave me. I have much to ponder.

    Quest - The Lightbringer's Redemption
    Reward - Item #52252 - Tabard of the Lightbringer - Screenshot.
    Description
    Arthas... Alas, hero of Azeroth. You give me a greater gift than you know. Long have I struggled to forgive the prince for his terrible transgressions. My soul has been wracked with unbearable anxiety, dark thoughts, distancing me from the light. I recall clearly... the gleam of pride in his eye as he stood before me, eager to defeat the enemies of the light... eager to defend his people, no matter the cost. It is this memory of Arthas that I choose to keep in my heart. I shall always be in your debt, friend. Thank you.

    Quest - Mograine's Reunion
    Reward - Item #52200 (Mount!)
    Description
    Alexandros: Darion, my son. At last I am able to lay my eyes upon you again. The Lich King tormented me without end, Darion. Endlessly he sought to break my will, to force me to serve him, to bind me to his blade. Finally, when events demanded his full attention, he left me. The one memory I clung to Darion, the one thought that kept me from giving in, it was your sacrifice, my son. That again saved me from eternal peril.

    Darion: Father, father, I… I feared for your sanity, father, for you, I would give my life a thousand times.

    The reward of this quest is most likely the Crimson Deathcharger mount spell added to the game in 3.3.3.

    There is only one mount spell, but there are actually two new deathchargers creatures Azure Deathcharger and Crimson Deathcharger, we can assume that the color will change depending on the player's faction.



    Patch 3.3.3 - Jepetto's new toys!
    Jepettoy Joybuzz in Dalaran will sell 3 more items in 3.3.3! Your favorite toymaker added the following to his inventory:




    Patch 3.3.5 - Ruby Sanctum

[/list][/list][/list][/list]
    Wintergrasp

    Dungeons & Raids
    • All weekly quests will now reset during each region's scheduled maintenance, rather than at a single global time.

    Culling of Stratholme
    • Players may now skip the initial introduction dialog to this dungeon once they have completed it at least once.

    Icecrown Citadel
    • Blood-Queen Lana'thel: Pact of the Darkfallen now applies damage twice as often, but for half the damage. This change will make the removal of the spell a bit more responsive.
    • Hellscream's Warsong and Strength of Wrynn now provide their bonuses to player pet health and damage, as well as the absorption amounts of Power Word: Shield and Sacred Shield.

    World Event Bosses
    • Holiday bosses (such as Ahune for the Fire Festival) will now be accessible through the Dungeon Finder.
    • Players must use the Dungeon Finder or speak to special holiday NPCs in the world to queue up and access these bosses.
    • Upon accepting a queue for any holiday boss, the party will be ported directly to the necessary area for confronting that boss.
    • The previous summoning criteria for these bosses have been removed. Players can queue up for and fight each World Event boss as many times as they want for any standard loot that they may drop.
    • All rare holiday items (such as The Horseman's Reins) will have a chance of being found in holiday-themed loot troves which will drop once for each player in the party no more than once per day, in the same manner that doing the Random Dungeon daily quest will provide a specific reward the first time it is completed in a day.

    Classes: General
    • Several raid buffs have had their ranges increased to 100 yards, up from 45 yards, to prevent select buffs from repeatedly getting applied and removed during highly mobile encounters. Some buffs, such as paladin auras, totems, shouts and Blood Pact are intentionally meant to have shorter ranges and remain unchanged.

    Death Knight (Forums / Talent Calculator)
    • Icy Touch: This ability now causes a very high amount of threat while the death knight is in Frost Presence.
    • Chains of Ice: The ability now innately applies Frost Fever to a target.
    • Rune of Razorice: Now stacks 5 stacks of 2% Frost Vulnerability instead of 10 stacks of 1% Frost Vulnerability. Proc chance changed to 100%.
    Blood
    • Abomination's Might: This effect is now passive instead of being a proc on certain strikes. Rank 1 is 5% attack power and Rank 2 is 10% attack power. The self strength buff remains unchanged.
    • Will of the Necropolis: There is no longer a cooldown on the frequency at which this talent can be activated. In addition, this ability can now also be triggered by damage which deals less than 5% of your health.
    Frost
    • Endless Winter: No longer causes Frost Fever to be applied by Chains of Ice, but instead grants 2/4% strength.
    • Icy Talons: The personal haste benefit provided by this talent is no longer exclusive with other sources of melee haste. This will allow death knights to always swing 4/8/12/16/20% faster when Frost Fever is applied. Windfury Totem and the party/raid component of Improved Icy Talons still do not stack.
    • Improved Icy Talons: This effect is now passive instead of being a proc. The self haste buff remains unchanged.
    • Nerves of Cold Steel: Now increases off-hand damage by 8/16/25%, up from 5/10/15%.
    • Unbreakable Armor: The amount of strength granted is now 20%, up from 10%.
    Unholy
    • Scourge Strike: Now deals 70% weapon damage, plus 12% of physical damage done as shadow damage for each of the death knight's diseases on the target. The net result should be larger strikes with no diseases present, while maximum damage with all diseases applied to the target should stay the same.
    • Unholy Blight: In addition to its previous effects, this talent now also prevents diseases from being dispelled from victims afflicted by Unholy Blight.
    Glyphs
    • Glyph of Disease: When this glyph causes Frost Fever to be refreshed, it will now also trigger a refresh of Icy Talons.
    • Glyph of Icebound Fortitude: Now always grants at least 40% damage reduction.

    Druid (Forums / Talent Calculator)
    Balance
    • Nature's Grasp: Now has 3 charges, up from 1.
    • Starfall: Te damage done by this spell has been significantly increased.
    • Typhoon: Mana cost reduced to 25%, down from 32%.
    Feral Combat
    • Mangle: The debuff from this talent now lasts 60 seconds, up from 12 seconds.
    Glyphs
    • Glyph of Focus: Now increases the damage done by Starfall by 10%, down from 20%.
    • Glyph of Mangle: This glyph now provides 10% increased damage done by Mangle instead of increasing the duration of the debuff.

    Hunter (Forums / Talent Calculator)
    Beast Mastery
    • Ferocious Inspiration: This ability is now an aura and provides 1/2/3% damage to all party or raid members within 100 yards and boosts the damage of Steady Shot by 3/6/9%.
    Pet Talents
    • Heart of the Phoenix: Cooldown reduced to 8 minutes, down from 10 minutes.

    Mage (Forums / Talent Calculator)

    Quest Tracking Feature
    HTML Code:
    
<ul>
[*]The Quest Tracking Objectives Frame can now be widened via the Interface Options menu.
[*]The short description for a tracked quest is now displayed on the Map in the quest pane.
[*]Quest items in a player's inventory which begin quests now each have an exclamation point overlaid on their icons to make them more easily identifiable.
[*]If a players selects Track Low Level Quests, the quest objectives will no longer appear dim on the Map, nor will the exclamation points appear dim over NPC heads or on the Mini-Map.
[*]Objectives Frame
<ul>
[*]The Objectives Frame will now list the number of quests displayed at the top. In addition, players can now click on the word "Objectives" at the top of the Objectives Frame for a list of sorting and filtering options which will determine how quests are ordered. Any quests or achievements filtered or sorted out of the Objectives Frame are still being tracked and are simply hidden in this frame.
<ul>
[*]Sorting
<ul>
[*]Sort by most difficult quests.
[*]Sort by least difficult quests.
[*]Sort by quests closest in proximity to the player (this will automatically update as players travel around).
[*]Manual sorting: This allows players to Right-Click on each quest name in the Objectives Frame and determine in what order they should be placed.
[/list]
[*]Filtering
<ul>
[*]Toggle achievement tracking.
[*]Toggle completed quest tracking.
[*]Toggle tracking quest objectives in other zones.
[/list]
[*]Players can now Shift + Click on a quest objective or check the Track Quest box on the Map to track a quest in the Objectives Frame.
[/list][/list][/list]
    Auction House
    HTML Code:
    <ul>
[*]If the Auction House on a realm is unavailable for any reason, an alert will pop up informing players who attempt to access it.<:li>
[*]Players can now Right-Click to place an item in the Auction frame.<:li>
[*]Entire stacks of a specific item type can be placed in the Auction frame and several options have been added for choosing how to list auctions.<:li>
<ul>
[*]Stack Size: If a stack of items has been added to the Auction frame, players can select the size of the stack they wish to sell. If an invalid stack size is entered (i.e. a stack of 21 Saronite Ore), the Create Auction button will be grayed out.<:li>
[*]Number of Stacks: In addition to selecting the size of a stack, players can select how many stacks of an item they wish to sell (i.e. if a player has a total of 43 Saronite Ore in the Auction frame, they can choose to list 2 stacks of 20, 4 stacks of 10, 8 stacks of 5, 43 stacks of 1, etc. If the number and amount of stacks listed results in a remainder, the left-over items will be placed back in the player's bags automatically).<:li>
[*]Stack Size and Number of Stacks are linked mathematically so that altering the variables of one may automatically calculate the amount of the other (i.e. if a player puts 20 in the Stack Size field and 43 Saronite Ore are in the Auction frame, the Number of Stacks field will change to 2 by default. If a player only wishes to sell one stack of 20 Saronite Ore, the Number of Stacks field can be manually changed to 1).<:li>
[*]Price: Players can now choose to input the price of an item Per Stack or Per Item by selecting either option from a pull-down. If Per Item is selected and a player is selling a stack of that item, the Auction House will multiply the selected Per Item price by the amount of that item in the stack. If Per Stack is selected, the player can enter the total price he or she wishes to charge for each stack of that item being listed.<:li>
[*]Auction Post Completion Bar: If multiple items or stacks of items are being listed at once by a player, a Posting completion bar will appear showing the total progress of each individual auction being listed once the Create Auction button is selected. The greater the number of individual listings being made in a single press of the Create Auction button, the longer this process will take. Players can still browse the Auction House while the Posting completion bar is in progress, but moving around will interrupt the progress, similar to moving while attempting to create multiple bandages with First Aid. Just as with creating bandages, auctions that were completed prior to the character moving or otherwise canceling the action will successfully be listed.<:li>
[/list][/list]

    Yay Random BG System!

    Also, I hope that the Special New Icecrown Quests are tied to a either a drop from Heroic 10 or a very rare drop from the Lich King on all modes, considering that Heroic 10 doesn't have a special flavor item. >:(

    Last I checked on the PTR Imp Revenge still buffed the abilities' damage even though it was removed on the official patch notes.

    i wonder what made Boub change his mind about the patch coming out today
    Unfortunately, until the people at Blizzard take time to quit explaining why they are right and anyone who disagrees is wrong, they are not going to even hear everyone speaking out desperately trying to warn them the ship is sinking.
    the problems driving players from WoW aren't content or the age of the game, the problem is how the game experience and design philosophy are being undermined by Blizzard's hubris and greed.

    And I wonder what makes you think he did. The news says it's coming out this week.

    Any ideas on how to get the Celestial Steed? Think it's from Algalon?
