Patch 6.1 - Character Model Changes
Patch 6.1 has fixed bugs, improved models, changed the male Night Elf run animation, and restored some things that were missing from the new character models like spots on Female Tauren, removed eye glow on some Undead Faces, added eyeliner to Human Females, removed excessive eye sagging on Female Gnomes and more. A sample of what has been discovered so far is below.





Patch 6.0.3 Hotfixes - January 12
Looks like the class tuning hotfixes from today are indeed live! - Celestalon

Please note that the following class tuning hofixes are not active yet. These hotfixes are still undergoing testing and will be implemented as soon as possible.

Patch 6.1 - Heirlooms Tab
The long awaited heirlooms tab is finally live in Patch 6.1!

  • Heirlooms now scale from 1 to 60
  • Heirlooms can be purchased for gold
  • The new heirlooms can be upgraded by items like Ancient Heirloom Scabbard and Timeworn Heirloom Scabbard to Level 90 and Level 100.
  • Currently, only the Level 90 upgrade is available for purchase and it only upgrades the heirloom to Level 85.
  • The old heirlooms haven't changed, but with character copy down we aren't sure what will happen to them.
  • Upon logging on to another character, you can click the heirloom to create one for that character.
  • Any enchants applied are only applied to that copy of the item and lost upon deleting it.
  • Heirlooms are still Bind on Account, so you can mail enchanted heirlooms between characters.




Patch 6.1 - Garrison UI: Mission Remaining Duration
Patch 6.1 adds a timer to let you know how long before a mission will expire!



Current PTR Status 1/12/15

Just wanted to share some early information regarding the 6.1 PTR.

Note: this information is subject to change as plans are implemented. I'll update this thread or make a new one as I receive more information.

  • PTR Accounts and realms are currently locked to Mists of Pandaria. Upgrading the PTR accounts to Warlords is a lengthy process so I don't have an exact ETA, but it's something we're actively working on.
  • In-game Character Copy is currently offline. The plan is still to use the in-game system as opposed to the old website version (which hasn't been functional since 5.4).
  • Characters were wiped after the 6.0.3 PTR realms were brought down last month, and cannot be retrieved at this time.

Patch 6.1 - Death Recap UI
Patch 6.1 will give players a little bit more information about how they died in the default UI.



Patch 6.1 - Twitter UI
The toggle for the Twitter integration is in, but it is currently broken.

    Discipline priests are without a doubt a bottom tier healing class in pvp right now, arguably the weakest.
    They are about to get their main "healing" tool (shield) nerfed by 15%.

    Blizzard does not care about pvp.
    Except DK is the lowest represented class besides monk in 2200+ and 2400+ 3s.

    herpderp good class

    Bloodboil nerf is fine, even expected, for blood. But this nerf DESTROYED unholy.

    Holy !@#$ the upcoming changes to the character models look so much better, even if they appear to be minor. Thanks Blizzard! I'm glad they changed the running animation as well.

    Thanks for the NE running animation fix. I said from the start it is too over the top comic style, even for wow. It was worse than Wildstar even. Don't know what they were thingking, but it will be fixed soon, so glad.

    The upcoming changes on the races are good imo, they do like better!
    I dont understand why they will implement twitter to your wow account - i know that you can disable it - i can't see an advantage of this.
    The Death Recap UI likes pretty awesome and simple, good enough for a quick research but i doesnt replace skada or addons.
    Was hoping this see the new Blood Elf Models.

    I hope Nelf Females will be fixed aswell. As in, the Blue Lips on half of the Skins.

    I'm using Skin 7 myself and now all faces have Blue Lips.

    Maybe they don't try to balance PVP only for minority playing 3v3 at 2.2k+?

This swings secondary stat balance all of the place.
    Where in there did you see Ret getting gigantic stat bonus? Its for prot (strange too, as haste is after bonus armor best 2ndary stat for prot dps... already top dps tank and 2k dps less than ret if dpsing as prot)

    Also its quite strange that frostdk is getting huge haste bonus, when frost is already best dps for DK and among best single target dps overall... makes no sense! But they do have a lot of downtime, same as other classes that are getting haste boost so i can see logic behind it... but without other hotfixes(nerfs), it will push them over the top in dps... expecting more hotfixes in coming days to balance for that

    They have shown a look at them already, atleast the female ones.

    And how about fixing the way tauren and orc males hold weapons or fixing the male tauren bug whre most of the shaman tier helmets dont cover the nostrils?
    Fixing the running of the boar mount would be lovely as well

    obviously we should balance pvp based on the lvl 99 bracket and pve on LFR performance right?
  1. Schmilblick's Avatar
    Now they need to fix the male Orc running animation, which is really awkward.

    No, unholy was far better than frost for dps DK pve, though the bloodboil nerf is going to change this (DW frost overlord inc)...

    Frost is also not the best single target dps overall. Not even close

    Better get used to Howlingblast spam

    Second best stat? Haste has been one of the worst stats for prot during this whole expansion. If you take a look at the prot paladins in every top guild non of them are stacking haste, they are avoiding haste! If you visit the main prot teocrafting blog, Sacred Duty it will explain why. But now after the buff things might change ofc.

    And no prot is not top tank dps, its good tank dps but not top:
    Fight Statistics for Highmaul - Mythic Tank DPS

    And they are a bit over 8k dps behind ret:
    Fight Statistics for Highmaul - DPS Mythic Paladin

    I really like the changes they've done to the models, especially the skins for the Human female faces. While I really think they upgraded the model from the Vanilla one, the lack of darker colours around the eyes were a bit unsettling (especially for my character who had one of the darkest eyes you could have). They also improved the skin colour by making it look a lot warmer, which is a nice plus.

I was doing HC Imperius last night and I struggled so badly with hps/mana regen because our Shrooms, Wildgrowth and Regrowth are so damn expensive,.... really poor call there imo.
    But u will get more haste 11% so overal healing will be same beacuse haste also buff other druid spells, if u cant catch other healer you must doing something wrong.
