Patch v2.0

[Zarathustra]

I think I hear the clattering of weapons and cries of death. The messenger is being killed right now.

Did you see the message he delivered in response to useless set items dropping?

This patch introduces almost all of the features/changes that affect the game as a whole for the expansion release, without the expansion actually being released. As announced previously with the expansion delay this patch will have a much longer lead time before the expansion releases. The new changes and features, we felt, were more than worth going ahead and releasing it around the same time we were going to anyway so that everyone could enjoy them sooner rather than later.

He's being skewered now over Judgement Breastplates and the like being pretty difficult for Horde players to enjoy "sooner rather than later".
