Finally, [hide]patch 4.2[/hide] is upon us. Azeroth has undergone many changes since Cataclysm launched, and finally, we are getting the first new «tier» patch for this expansion. Suffice to say, I am very excited. Patch 4.2 represents to me many turning points for World of Warcraft that are putting it back on the path to cohesiveness. Cataclysm‘s launch was a success, and we were wowed by the features and the set pieces, but patch 4.2 feels like the first time we are getting to see new content that encapsulates the drive and cohesiveness of the Cataclysm motif.
Patch 4.2 brings with it many new features. Players will be able to enter the Firelands, Ragnaros’ domain, for a whole slew of [hide]new daily quests[/hide] and player-specific progression. Seven new [hide]raid bosses[/hide] await intrepid raiders, valor point gear will be knocked down to justice level, and the previous tier of content is becoming more accessible to raiders new and old. Loads of new companion pets and mounts await players willing to aid the [hide]Avengers of Hyjal[/hide]’s cause. Lucky raiders will also take part in an epic quest to forge the newest legendary item in WoW, [hide]Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa’s Rest[/hide].
I am especially interested and excited for the Molten Front and Regrowth daily hubs that are being introduced for max-level players in Hyjal, as the druids and sentinels break into Ragnaros’ home turf, the Firelands, and lay siege for their survival. These dailies and daily hubs represent a philosophy that I love in MMOs — your personal progression should matter just as much as the progression of the whole. You, individually, will be working with major lore characters and factions to put together the Hyjal offensive, and your decisions get to open up new quest areas and gear vendors in an order that you choose. Putting this type of control back in the players’ hands feels like a Burning Crusade move, and I’m a man who loved him some Burning Crusade.
What are you looking forward to when we get to log into patch 4.2? What’s your first move in the face of invasion from the Firelands?
