Assorted Undocumented Changes

Portals have been added to Ciudad de Shattrath and Dalaran allowing players easier access to Orgrimmar or Ciudad de Ventormenta.
Many previously faction-specific Cocina recipes (such as Kebab de araña kaldorei) which were removed with Cataclysm are now trainable from both Horde and Alliance Cooking trainers!
Argent Dawn reputation quest items such as Hojas salvajes and Trozos de maligno de cripta are now poor quality (as they have not had a purpose for quite some time).

Reasoning Behind Changes to Conquest Points

Zarhym

Why does Blizzard repeatedly short-change the pvp community in favor of PVE? I am speaking of two things, the conquest point awards being changed and the ability to convert valor points to conquest.

In addition, this change being implemented without it being in the patch notes is simply underhanded. I am sorry, but I don't buy the "it was an honest mistake" excuse that is being tossed around by Bashiok and others. Blizzard has been revising these patch notes for months now; it's obvious that it was simply omitted due to the outrage it would cause.

Patch 4.2 Previews Coming Soon!

Bashiok

As we explained early in the 4.1 PTR process, the next tier of raid content -- as well as other key features including new daily quest hubs -- were being developed exclusively for patch 4.2 . We also explained that 4.2, although a completely separate patch, was being developed at the same time as 4.1 so that it could be released on a much quicker timetable.

Here we are, a few days after the release of patch 4.1, and we’re ready to begin revealing 4.2, its features, and major content.

Be sure to refresh http://www.worldofwarcraft.com throughout the following days, as the articles will be going out at super-secret (but reasonable) times. You’ll certainly want to be funky fresh and the first on your Twitterbook acquaintance list to rap the 4-1-1 on these stories as they drizop.

Legendary Staff to Feature Glitter and Puffy Paint

Daxxarri

Is it Atiesh? I bet it's Atiesh. You can just tell that they're going to name it Atiesh.

It also doesn't look anything like that.

If you're going to be like that, then the "real" legendary staff had better be at least ten times fancier.

Not acceptable. 100% fancier or nothing.

That's really exciting. I thought the datamined one looked cool so if it's 78.7% more fancier then wow.

New Lore: Vol'jin Story Available!

Blizzard Entertainment

Led by the wise Sen'jin, the Darkspear tribe of jungle trolls has endured much. Driven from their ancestral home when the Gurubashi empire's tribal hatreds erupted into open warfare, the Darkspears eventually claimed an uninhabited island for themselves and renamed it the Darkspear Island. But although the Darkspears hoped that this new home would be permanent, the fate of the tribe would prove to be far from certain.

"They say the loa gonna take our minds," Zalazane said grimly. "They gonna warp us and twist us around and make us see visions."

"Many tests, I hear. If they find me worthy, I be a shadow hunter," Vol'jin answered. "If they find me unworthy… nothing can save us."

"Oh, they gonna be impressed with me." Zalazane smiled knowingly. "But they gonna laugh at you." He stepped into the mud and ambled over to stand beside his friend. They looked at each other for a moment and broke into wide grins, tusks bared. Throughout their entire childhood in the Darkspear village, this had always been a sure sign that Vol'jin and Zalazane were about to do something particularly stupid.

With a mighty cry, they ran headlong into First Home.

Blizzard Entertainment is proud to present the latest entry in the Leaders of Azeroth short story series: The Judgment!

Upcoming Bugfixes: Horse Animation, Spell Pushback

Kaivax

I log in today and notice that some of my favorite mounts (Forsaken Warhorses, Argent Warhorse, etc) now run identical to the way Talbuk's run. This running animation isn't natural and is the sole reason I never ride the Talbuk mounts.

Kaivax

The spell push back levels after patch are significantly greater now then they were before patch. No where in the patch notes is it indicated that push back would be increased.
