ok a week wrong. still

confirmed 28th/29th launch for 5.0.4

Please be aware that with the release of the pre-expansion 5.0.4 patch on Wednesday, August 29, all raid lockouts will be reset. This means that you will not be able to extend a raid lockout beyond the week before the patch release.

Question: When 5.0.4 launches, are they removing HGWT and doing the talent revamp at the same time?

Basically, what all comes with the pre-release launch?

Should be everything except the Pandaren race, the Monk class, Pandaria, and Pet Battles.

Absolutely love this, from what I've seen. For peeps who do lots of boosting, this is gonna make them even richer... I don't even want to think about how much cloth I left behind in pre-cata Scholo... ugh!

Battle tag support

Sorry, I know I could probably look back through this thread, but what does this mean?? Sharing Account bound items across the entire account?? Love to be able to share BoA's between my horde/alliance toons.

A "not as intrusive or revealing" RealID alternative.

So I tried to test the bnet wide achievements thing and I don't think that HK totals are Bnet wide. I think they are account only. All tallied up I should have around 70k HKs, but when I logged in a transferred character I only saw 10k

edit: Oh and F U Blizzard for launching 5.0.4 on GW2 launch date. I know your reasons but they frustrate the hell out of me. I wish someone could line up their launch towards the end of a WoW expansion so I'm not fucking bored out of my mind. If GW2 had moved up to July release I'm sure 5.0.4 would drop that same day. It's a business decision, but I feel like it fucks the customer over that want to play both. Thank god GW2 doesn't have as nasty of a gear grind.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. AoE loot is going to be awesome for finishing up my boosting before MoP, but the loss of HGWT is going to force me to just grind dungeons instead of hopping between them and getting the extra xp boost from the quests... Ugh...

HWGT? Sorry acronym is not ringing a bell.
