Today we'll take a look at the client strings of Patch 4.1. Assuming that everything goes as planned today (new patches take time!), things should get interesting soon (starting today with fun models)!

"Salamander Hunter" and Crimson Fire Hawk
The new model of Ragnaros was very popular yesterday, let's kick it up a notch with the model of Crimson Fire Hawk and a new monster, the "Salamander Hunter" (who looks a lot like Majordomo Executus).

More to come soon.



Bind on Battle.net account items?
The first hint of bound to Battle.net account items appeared in this patch.

  • ITEM_BIND_TO_BNETACCOUNT = "Binds to Battle.net account";
  • ITEM_BNETACCOUNTBOUND = "Battle.net Account Bound";


Cast on key down
This patch finally gives the possibility to cast spells on key down instead of key up, making you more awesome in raids and battlegrounds!

  • ACTION_BUTTON_USE_KEY_DOWN = "Cast action keybinds on key down";
  • OPTION_TOOLTIP_ACTION_BUTTON_USE_KEY_DOWN = "Action button keybinds will respond on key down, rather than on key up.";


Extra regeneration stats in character sheet
More information seems to be available on your character sheet if you're a rogue, a hunter, or a Death Knight!

  • STAT_ENERGY_REGEN = "Energy Regen";
  • STAT_ENERGY_REGEN_TOOLTIP = "Energy regenerated every second.";
  • STAT_FOCUS_REGEN = "Focus Regen";
  • STAT_FOCUS_REGEN_TOOLTIP = "Focus regenerated every second.";
  • STAT_RUNE_REGEN = "Rune Speed";
  • STAT_RUNE_REGEN_FORMAT = "%.2fs";
  • STAT_RUNE_REGEN_TOOLTIP = "The recharge time for each of your Runes.";


Guild Recruitment
Patch 4.1 will apparently introduce the in-game guild recruitment system promised during Blizzcon! So far we don't have a lot of details on how it will work but the interface can be accessed on PTRs, we'll probably see more of it in later phases of testing.

  • LOOKINGFORGUILD = "Looking for Guild";
  • NEWBIE_TOOLTIP_LOOKINGFORGUILDTAB = "Allows you to find a guild.";
  • BROWSE_GUILDS_BUTTON = "Browse Guilds";
  • BROWSE_GUILDS_NUM_MEMBERS = "%d members";
  • BROWSE_GUILDS_TAB = "Browse Guilds";
  • GUILDBANK_AWARD_MONEY_SUMMARY_FORMAT = "A total of %s was deposited last week from Guild Perk: Cash Flow ";
  • GUILDINFOTAB_APPLICANTS = "Requests (%d)";
  • GUILDINFOTAB_APPLICANTS_NONE = "Requests";
  • GUILDINFOTAB_INFO = "Info";
  • GUILDINFOTAB_RECRUITMENT = "Recruitment";
  • GUILD_AVAILABILITY = "Availability";
  • GUILD_AVAILABILITY_WEEKDAYS = "Weekdays";
  • GUILD_AVAILABILITY_WEEKENDS = "Weekends";
  • GUILD_CLOSE_RECRUITMENT = "Unlist My Guild";
  • GUILD_MEMBERSHIP_REQUEST_SENT = "Guild Request Sent";
  • GUILD_OPEN_RECRUITMENT = "List My Guild";
  • GUILD_PLAYSTYLE = "Guild Playstyle";
  • GUILD_PLAYSTYLE_CASUAL = "Casual";
  • GUILD_PLAYSTYLE_HARDCORE = "Hardcore";
  • GUILD_PLAYSTYLE_MODERATE = "Moderate";
  • GUILD_RANK_UNAVAILABLE = "Rank unavailable";
  • GUILD_RANK_UNAVAILABLE_AUTHENTICATOR = "Only characters with an Authenticator attached to their account can obtain this rank.";
  • GUILD_RECRUITMENT_ANYLEVEL = "Any Level";
  • GUILD_RECRUITMENT_LEVEL = "Level";
  • GUILD_RECRUITMENT_MAXLEVEL = "Max Level";
  • -- Looking for Guild Parameters
  • LFGUILD_PARAM_CASUAL = 1;
  • LFGUILD_PARAM_MODERATE = 2;
  • LFGUILD_PARAM_HARDCORE = 3;
  • LFGUILD_PARAM_WEEKDAYS = 4;
  • LFGUILD_PARAM_WEEKENDS = 5;
  • LFGUILD_PARAM_TANK = 6;
  • LFGUILD_PARAM_HEALER = 7;
  • LFGUILD_PARAM_DAMAGE = 8;
  • LFGUILD_PARAM_ANY_LEVEL = 9;
  • LFGUILD_PARAM_MAX_LEVEL = 10;
  • LFGUILD_PARAM_LOOKING = 11;

    The Mottled Drake is the TCG mount, I've not seen a TCG card in the Worldbreaker pack with the Crimson Fire Hawk on it, so I think it's unlikely.

    Oh Blizzard please don't let this be a mount available to every player and their grand mother. Please let it be a rare drop from a hard boss, or the new glory of the xxxxxx raider.

    Make that 1% drop. Blizz never hands out the cool mounts like that.

    well atleast it's one step closer to getting rid of guild walls of recruitment spam in trade

    Probably? This IS the best looking mount in the history of the game, without a doubt.
    My jaw fell through the floor when I saw this.

    On current content it would be similar to Mimiron's head and Invincible. Once it becomes inferior content it will turn into 1%. Its possible, but unprobable.

Tcg never brings out 2 epic flying mounts and won't ever do it with items which almost share exactly the same name. My argument is the same for the store thing. We would have had the one alone. So this might be the raid achievement mounts like frostrbrood and bloodbathed I would guess since they shared the same "type" of mount. Since 10 and 25 is also the same thing now in terms of loot and items I doubt it is a Ragna mount to be honest. Other option could be possibly being faction type mounts , but I find that highly unlikely.
    I thought about that too, with the different names. But I was thinking it would be 2 factions specific mounts. Crimson = Horde, Beryl = Alliance

    Woah that mount is even better than ashes of a'lar

    source?
    Anyways, the mount looks good but I prefer mounts with more cryptic colourations (ie: mechanical mounts like the flying machines and mimiron's head). I try not to get too attached to mounts; I don't want to end up as one of the people that makes an ass out of themselves when they RAGE after losing a mount roll against 24 other people, along with the other 23 people also raging at the winner or something lol.

    And I hope to god it's not going to be a blizzstore mount simply because I don't want my screen glowing orange when I log into org or SW.

    You've probably made that threat about alot of things just like thousands of others, but you still end up playing.

    Dear Blizzard, please inform Mr Kotick that I'll pay 50 quid at the Blizzard shop for that hawk, no sweat. You hear me Mr Kotick?? Cold hard cash!!

    I know others disagree and I respect that, but I still choose not to buy anything from the pet store myself. So if Blizzard puts it there I'm never going to get it.
    WoW is going free to play as of the next expansion so get used to way more content in the blizzard store to make up for the transition.

    Where's your evidence?

    I've wanted something similar to this guild tab for pvp teams. "HELP WANTED ROGUE/ETC FOR 5's TEAM". Or for RBG's.
