4.0.3a: what is removed next week?

[LaplaceNoMa]

So my question is simple: which things will be removed next Wednesday with the Shattering? Zandalar reputation is a fact, I guess. What about Shen'dralar? The AQ scepter quest?

Do we have only 1 week to finish our business with these things?

there is not shattering next week.

4.0.3a will probably only happen 1 week before Cataclysm release.

[Kalcheus]

AQ Scepter quest is definitely gone as of the Shattering. Shen'dralar rep will also no longer be obtainable. The Zul'Gurub Achievements will become FOS. Other achievements such as Exploration and Loremaster will be reconfigured.

EDIT: I've also heard that the Sprite Darter quest chain is no longer available as of 4.0.3a. Here's the start of the chain:

4.0.3a will be next Tuesday. Anniversary of WoW. It also gives Blizzard two weeks to fix any bugs before the xpac launch. Remember, this is the largest update/patch to WoW since its development.

Completely wrong.

As much fun as it is to argue over whether or not we think the Shattering will occur next week, it is all 100% speculation right now. Personally, I think it has a pretty good chance of happening next week, but I'm not going to go around the forums and tell people that they are dumb/wrong for thinking otherwise.

OT: I believe there has been at least one thread that covered this very topic of removed quests/items/mounts/etc. I just can't remember the name of the topic atm, otherwise I would have done a search for you.

Exactly, so people claiming they have any clue need to stop with the BS posts because it's purely speculative.

Nope. There are blue posts stating 4.0.3 does not change the world.

[Vober]

4.0.3 is this week, NOT 4.0.3a

Since that patch does not really change anything in the game, it's actually better, gives them time to find possible leftover bugs before the mass of players return.

wellll they did say approximately 2 weeks of the shattering to get a feel of the environment at blizzcon, i mean its possible i heard it wrong but i am pretty sure thats what they said.

[Deleted]

[Millawhat]

LOL even with bold letters people miss things or choose not to read them :P

This is what I based my earlier post on.

Not coming out next week. Chill. Will come out Nov 30th, 100% guaranteed.

Actually, they said 1 week.

America doesn't stop the week of Thanksgiving. Some people still work during those days, and some people don't work during the holidays. For example, I'm celebrating Thanksgiving over the weekend because I have to work. Derp derp. Blizzard is a multi-billion dollar company that spans the globe, and they're not going to hold up a product release due to an American holiday.

Not sure where you heard next week, and more specifically where you heard next Wednesday at that, but for starters the Shattering won't occur until very cloae to release....within a week from the way things are sounding. Anyways, everything that has been announced to be changed will occur then....ZG, old zones, etc etc, all gone/revamped.
