When the patch hits, expect the following:

- Gear stat changes
- Reforging - found near inscrip trainer
- New cataclysm talents
- Random earthquakes everywhere you go (and they are quite frequent)
- Random Elementals that attack the city (you have to kill them for NPC's to spawn). Guards come out with portals and you must enter portals to destroy the rift's that summon elementals. I'm not 100% sure this is being deployed on live but I think it is, something to do with the Shattering.
- Tons of new spells and skills.
- New cataclysm quests.
- People with 40k+ health pools.
- Racial changes and armor specialization etc changes. (IE. Holy paladins get +5% intellect for wearing all plate)
- People with 40k+ mana pools.
- New currencies: honor points, etc. marks gone.. etc.
- Everyone to be confused for atleast a month
- Extremely imbalanced pvp. I'm warning you.
- Glyphs completely changed. You'll always have all the glyphs with you, it's hard to explain. You'll need to use Removal Powder bought from Inscript vendor to remove glyphs and replace them.
- On that note, new glyphs.
- Tons of the new UI changes, and class functions: IE, holy power, etc.
- Hunters get Focus instead of Mana.
- No more ammo
- ICC Dodge debuff is gone.
- Warlocks no longer need soul shards.

Also, PVP is VERY, VERY imbalanced right now. Caster's run everything, melee suffer. It's only going to be like this until 85, since it's scaled for all that. Expect tons of crying on the forum, TONS.

What NOT to expect:
- Flying in Azeroth. Flying will cost 250 gold for a license available at level 60.
- New level 80+ skills.
- World changes
- Anything cataclysm related; ie goblins/worgens, new zones, etc.

Thoughts folks?

What is there to say? Someone decided to make a list of stuff, I'm sure other people have done the attempt the past few months.

[Agoonga]

There is nothing on that list that I don't like

[Deleted]

List is missing the 310% mount speed skill on all mounts (yes you get that on PTR).

[Geekissexy]

As much as most of us love the fact that things like this are posted, on patch day we can all expect the same from trade chat:

Example 1: "OMG!11! Is the expansion out? Can I go to the new zones!?"
Example 2: "WTF is going on with muh talents and glyphs????"

Etc...etc....

I always turn chat off after patches like this. I understand not everyone reads about the changes, but it still gives me a major headache.

Yup - confirmed. And it does grandfather down, I transferred my 80 with the Rusted Proto-drake and got 310 flying for free.

My other characters had to pay for it.

Well, that's good. It means I still have about a month to keep farming ZG for that damn tiger...

~10 more resets to not see it drop! >_<

The whole people with 40k health and people with 40k mana isn't anything new. There are already people out there with those.

How many Rogues or Mages do you see with +40k health?

Sure, tanks with 40k and holy pallies with 40k. When he says people with 40k H/M, he means regular people.

[commanderbeatdown]

40k? hmmm

[Mudkiper]

You said ICC dodge debuff removed, wheres the source from that, also is the hidden RS dodge debuff also removed?

If I levitate myself, would I still see and feel the earthquakes ?

Feel no, see yes.
