Blizzard talks about 3.2

[Tim]

Shop Talk - 3.2 in Review
After a number of patch 3.2 content previews, nearly a full round of our class Q&A series, and weeks of public testing for this patch, we'd like to provide you with a convenient, comprehensive list of the information we've been sharing. Let's enjoy a walk together down memory lane as we wait to sink our teeth into patch 3.2, Call of the Crusade.

3.2 Under Development
Whether you seek information about the Crusaders' Coliseum, Isle of Conquest, Argent Tournament updates, or our developers' take on the future of Battlegrounds, or you want to peek at the new cat and bear looks for druids, search no further than our updated Under Development page:

WoW -> Info -> Under Development


Call of the Crusade Q&A
Still have questions about the Isle of Conquest or the Crusaders' Coliseum? Well members of our development staff were kind enough to take some time to answer frequently-asked questions submitted by players on our forums worldwide. Read on:

WoW -> Under Development -> Patch 3.2 Q&A: Crusaders' Coliseum and Isle of Conquest Q&A


Class Q&A Series
We've just about wrapped up our Class Q&A Series where we answered some of the most common questions asked by the community. We've received a great amount of feedback thus far about the Q&As we've posted. If you have yet to take a look, you can find answers to a great many questions about death knights, druids, hunters, mages, paladins, shamans, warlocks and warriors. Stay tuned for the priest and rogue Q&As coming next week and, don't be afraid to head over to our Class and Class Role forums to discuss all of the class information we've been sharing:

World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> Class Q&A Series


Glory of the Ulduar Raider
Many players have been asking about whether or not they'll still have a shot at obtaining the special mounts offered through the normal and Heroic Glory of the Ulduar Raider meta-achievements when patch 3.2 rears its head. We have your answer:

World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> Glory of the Ulduar Raider Reward Update


Instance Locks: Pace Yourself
We're making a change to the way instance locks work to allow players to progress through content at a pace more of their choosing. Read about it here:

World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> Instance Lock Extensions


Upcoming Emblem System Changes
We're revamping the emblem system a great deal in patch 3.2 to give players more incentive to continue plunging through the raids and dungeons Wrath of the Lich King has to offer. Read on:

Smells Like... Victory
Patch 3.2 introduces ambitious new means through which players can now gain experience by participating in Battlegrounds. While this is covered in our Q&A, we welcome players to join in on the discussion on our forums here:

World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> Come You Masters of War- PvP Experience


Mount System Revised
With World of Warcraft ever-expanding, level 60 just isn't what it used to be. For this reason we've eased the burden of obtaining mounts and are giving players at lower levels a chance for some sweet rides. Read on:

World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> Upcoming Mount Changes - Updated 6/15


Epic Gems Have Come to Northrend

Druids: Cats and Bears, Oh My!
Now that you've had a chance to check out the complete overhaul given to cat and bear forms, along with the five different color options available, you're probably wondering how to go about selecting the set of cat and bear forms that best suits you. Whether you're a tauren or a night elf, a simple visit to the barber shop will do the trick, and we have a breakdown of color associations here:

PTR Patch 3.2.0 Notes

Holy cow guys.

What are your thoughts about 3.2?

First, the shamans dropping totems in sets is going to be amazing.

The potential buffs BM Hunters are going to get should be amazing, too. Blizzard is talking about giving BM Hunters their own type of instant shot attack (like explosive shot) deep in the BM tree. Whoot!

mount price drops will be good for multiboxers on new realms.
25g for 5 characters is much better than 200g
plus the fact that you can get them at level 20 now means you can level even faster, no more running to rfk or the sm instances

This right now is my favorite feature.

From what i read they wanna buff arcane shot deep in that tree, because if they give them a different shot no high level hunter will ever use arcane as main dps :P and BM 'should'

Anyway, 3.2 sounds promising, altho not for tier... which used to be one of my favourite stuff

Im looking forward to 3.2, however i dont so much like the mount changes. What about all the people who have main chars and Alts that paid thousands of gold, and now new players and Alts are going to have it easy, having to pay meer hundreds rather than thousands.

Blizzard should give a partial refund, at least, to everybody with All the riding skills. Either that or make the achievements earned before 3.2 Feats of Strength. Just a simple compensation would quiet the complainers - Like myself.

I just wish they would give some advance head start to when they think the 3.2 patch would be coming. God its going to be great if you can actually earn XP while doing BGs.

The cost of things will always drop. The gap between 1-end game has to be continually shortened because the number of levels increases. It's like buying computer parts. When I got my Quad core a couple years ago I paid through the nose for it. Now there are quad cores cheaper than the new dual cores :/ You know what people on the cutting edge do? Bleed.

A slip of the tongue on the french side of tech support points at next week at the latest.
