4.0.1 vs 4.0.3

[Deleted]

I was wondering if there was a good place to find which changes are being implemented in 4.0.1 and which ones are waiting until cataclysm's release?
Specifically I was wondering when the guild leveling system is starting

Guild levelling isn't active on the PTR, so it probably won't be in 4.0.1.

afaik, 4.0.1 is class changes, ui changes, glyph changes. 4.0.3 is the world changes. i do believe guild leveling is being introduced in cataclysm itself.

Well so far from what we know:
4.0.1 = class mechanics and pre-cata events (supposedly starting either this week on the 5th or next week on the 12th)
4.0.3 = cataclysm itself (around a week or so before release)

I'd say probably 4.0.3 for guild leveling, but I could be wrong.

Patch 4.0.1 will launch several weeks before Cataclysm ships, similar to 2.0.1 and 3.0.2. It will include:

- New launcher
- Class changes
- Stat changes
- Talent tree overhaul
- Glyph changes
- Reforging?
- Mastery? (although it might not be useful until Cataclysm)
- 310% speed flying mounts

Patch 4.0.3 will launch shortly before Cataclysm ships. Based on what Tom Chilton and others have said, this will include (without purchase of Cataclysm):

- Cataclysm intro cinematic and login screen
- Revamped classic Eastern Kingdom and Kalimdor zones
- New race/class combinations for existing races
- Graphics improvements (water, etc)
- Guild leveling system

Cataclysm will ship shortly afterwards and buying it will unlock:

- Level 85 level cap
- 525 Profession skill caps
- Goblins and Worgen, and their starter zones
- New Level 80+ zones, dungeons, heroics, raids
- New battlegrounds
- Rated battlegrounds
- Flying mounts in Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor
- Archaeology
- Guild leveling system

Reforging will also be in the 4.01 patch...

And 'm lenign toward Oct. 12 as the announcement for Arena Season 8 said it could end "as soon as Oct 12." They also said that the Arena Season would end with patch 4.01... and I highly doubt they would let AS8 keep going after such major changes.

While I understand that the guild levelling UI and possibly achievements etc will be introduced in 4.0.3, it is entirely possible that you will not gain any guild xp, or reputation until the release of cataclysm.

4.0.3 is the world changes + new class combos I believe.
