News Round Up: Hotfixes, Dev Watercooler, and Dragonwrath Questline
Major changes to threat today were hotfixed in. And when we say major, we mean

News Round Up: Ethereals Are Back in Blizzard Teaser
So Blizzard just posted a really weird picture to their Facebook of ethereal NPCs. A blue posted it with no explanation as presumably a teaser. At this point, it's probably a hint for either 4.3 or the next expansion; in particular, maybe it even hints towards a redone Outlands or further character customization. Whatever it does mean, though, it's pretty crazy.

News Roundup: Dragonwrath Legendary Staff Clarifications, 4.2 Firelands Preview Updated
Just a small handful of Blizzard posts today, as it's the start of the week and we haven't been completely flooded with new info from the Blues (though there have been many welcome additions in the latest PTR patches, as I'm sure you guys have noticed)! As expected, most of the forum discussion has focused around
Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa's Rest
since it has finally been datamined (with its datamined stats). I'd like to take this moment to remind you guys that (as always)
everything
that has been datamined from the PTR files is subject to change. All of it. Even the things Blizzard says themselves in their patch notes is subject to change. Remember that the Public Test Realms are just that -
test
realms - and that you may not be seeing the final version of some of these awesome items which are planned to go live. :)
