World of Warcraft Patch 5.04 Now Live; World Event, New Talent Trees and More
Post by Eorl @ 12:23pm 29/08/12 | 14 Comments
Blizzard has sent through word that their latest patch for World of Warcraft has now been deployed, giving players the chance to try out the upcoming changes featured in the Mists of Pandaria expansion. These changes include the new talent tree system, plus the new event Attack on Theramore Isle that will be taking place on September 18th (thanks Creepy).
World of Warcraft’s Patch 5.0.4 (the Mists of Pandaria pre-patch) went live overnight, introducing a number of new features to the game.

Features added in Patch 5.0.4 include:

  • Account-wide Achievements, pets, and mounts
  • World Event: Attack on Theramore Isle
  • AOE Looting
  • BattleTag support in World of Warcraft
  • Cross-Realm Zones
  • New talent system

    • ... and much more!
    You can check out the full list of patch notes available over here, and you can also find a handy survival guide for those in need of a helping hand with the new changes.

    Tried to log on this morning when I woke up, but maintenance had been extended like 3 times already, first for three hours, then another hour, then another hour, was still down at 8am :(

    I'm glad they made achievements etc account wide, I'm playing a different main for MoP for the first time since vanilla and I wasn't fond of having raid achieves, titles and mounts split between chars*

    *yes, before you ask, I am definitely one of those people who will fucking struggle to let this game well and truly go when the time comes :P

    Yeh have not played for some time but am currently playing the MoP beta (ty AG!) and having played most MMOs released in last 2 years, as old looking and simplified WoW now is, it's combat still feels good.

    I like the changes so far, not that I ended up doing much except sitting at the AH making money off people who wanted new glyphs and gems though. Was quite a lucrative night though!

    Really liking the patch so far. The new talents seemed a bit weird but I think I prefer them over having to put a heap of points in a tree. Also the account wide mounts is awesome. I finally have my zhevra and 2 seater rocket on all toons. Woot!

    I dunno if I'm keen on the talent system yet, time will tell I guess. The Glyphs revamp on the other hand, what a fucking godsend.

    The pet changes have had a few issues, after it was all said and done I ended up missing a few pets I purchased for the charities etc. put a ticket in, waiting for a response

    There's also currently no cap on justice and honor points, which I'm deffo taking advantage of :P

    Just in case you didn't know. You have to log in on every toon you have to let the other ones have what it has. I was wondering why I was missing stuff until I did that.

    Yeah, the new glyphs are great, so much fun stuff in there. I'm loving that its not just a cookie cutter "choose these three glyphs for the best dps" type of deal, I actually feel like I have a choice now. A mind flay that speeds me up instead of snaring the target? Yes please!

    Minor glyphs sound pretty fun too, I've wanted shadow ravens on my spriest since back in Wrath, when I saw the scarlet crusade priest dudes with the shadow ravens.

    The talents, I dunno, theres still some tiers where theres an obvious best talent for your spec or playstyle, but then theres other tiers where all three sound good and could be "best" in different situations or depending on how you play. So I guess it mostly delivers on its intended goal.

    that's what i like about it though. there's not many "if you want to raid, you need these talents". i like that you can adapt it to how you play.

    Oh yeah, I like that too, I actually meant the bits where theres an obvious best talent to pick for dps or raiding or whatever to be the downside, I prefer the tiers where its not like that, and its more about choosing whats best for the current situation or what suits how you want to play.

    Also, I can turn my shadowfiend into one of those mind controlling head-eating octopus things that was in Throne of Tides. Too cool!
