Confirmed 1.9 Patch Notes

[Raelynn]

Well... hrm.  I hate to be a Whinelock, but that's a superbly lackluster and misguided solution to the problem of shards.  By 60, most warlocks should have shard management down pat.  The problem isn't storage space (although the bag will help), it's farming for shards.  Eyonix promised us way more.  E fails again.

At least it's BoE, so our locks can all get it fairly quickly.

I think the numbers are 20-slot recipe bought in gadgetzan, 24-slot recipe which is a drop in Scholo (or strat, forget which), and 28-slot drop in MC.

I'm a bit angry personally that after 9 months of no word on the bag, and after the devs saying that there were technical limitations on the bag, they went and put it in without saying a single word on the warlock forum.

On a good note, Tseric said he was going to push for some kind of bonus on the bags, since they don't do a whole lot. He said for him it's basically all bonus, as he always has 32 shards, so he sacrifices 4 shards and opens up 16 slots. If I was still in the game, it would help me at all, as I generally had 16 at most.

There were also mentions in the warlock forum that Tseric was going to talk with the developers about some way to ease shard gathering. The two suggestions (with acknowledged pros and cons) were a spell upgrade drop in MC or somewhere that gave two shards from an enemy, and ghosts at graveyards that were invisible and yellow so that there would be easier to find enemies that gave shards. Neither really helps the PvP issues of the shard gathering.
