Another Xpac, so soon?

but what about patch 3.2.99 :P

They have plenty of microsoft style dot updates they can do before the 3.3 patch comes out.

Oh I forgot about letters 3.2.1a anyone?

I guess if seeing patch notes like:

• Patch Changes
• New pet added! Cute dog.
• Minor change to UI
• Added one quest

Excite you then, yes they could do up to 3.2.99. No one else is excited by that.

The patch that adds Icecrown citadel will add a new three-wing five-man dungeon with a quest line that requires that you do them in order the first time through. Patch 3.3 will also add a cross-server LFG tool, meaning that you'll be able to form a 5-man group and enter a dungeon with them even though they're not on the same server.

I'm sure some people can conjure up some spectacular ninja scenarios from that, but it seems like an interesting technology. They said they'll be able to use it for raids if they want to, as well.

It was sarcasm, remember they are the developers, they can control what kind of content is released in a patch, remember when 1.11 was the absolute last patch before 2.0, then along came 1.12, then 1.12.1... They seem to change their minds on a whim, there is no "rule" about what can be released in a multi dot patch.

What if I happen to like cute dogs!? :P

I think it's a good time to wait and see versus get pissed and quit because you "think" something is going to happen. I really am beginning to hate the patches, so many people complain about content being boring "I've run x dungeon a bajillion times give me more," then reading the storm of complaints when they want to do new things, "why are they changing the barrens, I love running for 17 hours to get to the others side so I can pick up 10 000 tusks from frikin lizard men."

I personally am excited to see where they go with the game, it's about time WoW introduces new storylines, it's been the primary driver for it for so long, yet bound to the old games. I am not so excited about the patch day lag, and broken everything for a week, but I've made it this far, and I'm sure it'll be just the same...headache for a day then ooohhhs and aaahs for a few months, and back to the grind. Each patch has made the game more complex but it seems no matter what they add there will be a line everyone falls in and the other content is left empty, with not one guy bouncing against the entrance waiting for just one more additional instance to open up. I hope they changes keep people trying newer things, and experiencing everything rather than the one main line.
