It's been a long time coming, but Patch 3.1 Secrets of Ulduar has arrived and with it comes a long list of shiny, shiny features. Ready for new content? It's got Ulduar, the prison for Yogg-Saron and his floating brain of death, plus more epic loot than all of The Burning Crusade raids. It comes in both 10-man and 25-man versions, and each boss has a Hard Mode for you crazy kids trying to get your hands on the new Legendary healing mace. Oh, and did I mention the new related Ulduar Achievements? Revamped Noblegarden with its own meta-Achievement? Dual specs? The Argent Tournament? Swimming mounts?! The list goes on and on.
So tell us, which of the new features are you most looking forward to today.
| 25-Man Ulduar | |
|---|---|
| 10-Man Ulduar | |
| New legendary healing mace | |
| Dual Specs | |
| Argent Tournament | |
| Changes to my class | |
| New Arena season | |
| Noblegarden | |
| My guildmates coming back to the game |
Patch 3.1 is live and it takes us into Ulduar, delivers us dual specs, and brings significant changes to all the classes! We've got you covered from top to bottom with our Guide to Patch 3.1 and the official patch notes!Filed under: Breakfast Topics

Dual-spec is definitely the change I've most looked forward to, but Ulduar, in both versions, is a very close second
LVLING A DK MAIN Apr 14th 2009 8:07AM
yes, me too, i am most looking forard to dual specs for my DK
Anthology Apr 14th 2009 8:06AM
Us Hunters made off like bandits this time around, and you can bet your sweet ass I'm happy with my changes. :)

I wish I shared your enthusiasm. Hearing ExS had its scaling nerfed is tough to take. Yes, we get Black Arrow. Why couldn't we have both? And I'm still not sold on MM's increased mana efficiency. BM got squat. Thunderstomp for our pets is cool; more bloat in our pet talent trees is not.
Dual specs is the best thing in the patch IMO. I'm prolly gonna do a trash/farming imp barrage spec and a boss SV spec. Not 100% sure yet.

Swimming mounts. (Wasn't in the poll, though.) By far. I've wanted this since the very first time my mount kicked me off in the water.
I'm also looking forward to the Argent Tournament, if it turns out like i hpe it does.
Oh yeah, looking forward to Noblegarden too, very much.

My most anticipated feature is the fix of the demolishes being able to drive through the walls in wintergrasp. Simply because i'm absolutely addicted to the zone and I'm sick of watching my faction lose after only 1 wall has been destroyed and there's still 3 minutes left to play simply because they grouped up 5 demo's to zerg the gate... well NO MORE I SAY!
Nord Apr 14th 2009 11:05AM
I agree with you, but on my server it means the Horde will never win another Wintergrasp.

Argent Tournament
It will be fun and *finally* it will be based on player's skill more than uber-gear. Same stuff for everyone (mount + spear) and you just have to learn how to use it and get skilled.

im looking forward to 10 man ulduar seeing as im in a small guild that only does 10 mans. and i cant wait for argent tournament as well, i got my eyes on the crusader title since im already an ambassador it shouldnt be too hard to get. and im gonna save all my seals for that argent hippogryph
Angus Apr 14th 2009 4:24PM
Good luck with that.
Just remember:
No legendary mace.
No using EoV for T8 so it is pure luck for your tier gear.
And no server first achievements for clearing it.
I'm trying to get the poor players either better or replaced so we can do 25 man and see the way it is actually supposed to work.
Ney Apr 14th 2009 8:28AM
Only 11/14 of the bosses have hard modes, btw.
Not trying to be nitpicky but figured I'd point it out before someone flames ya for it.
McKree Apr 14th 2009 8:17AM
Where's the complimentary "Meh" option?

DUNGEON MAPS!
Although I've been excited about Call Stabled Pet for weeks as well, and really looking forward to having my ammo bag slot freed up.
If only Rhino Bowling wasn't going away, I would be sublimely happy. As it stands, I am merely happy. :)

...swimming mounts, argent tourny and noble garden.
Although the mounts dont grant speed in water im looking forward to my fat elkk doing some laps.
Argent tournament; holy crap, SOME form of REAL medievil theme is evedent and, as stated above, it just requires skill.
Noble Garden; only blizzard would push back a date to do with a religion, nah, seriously, its about time that it got reconized for the possibilities, but eggs need to have an amount of money based on your level, sick of my 10+ getting 6 copper, it feels like it should come with a nagger saying ", Now, dont spend it all at once, but i also wanna have some critter boss who summons red-nammed rabbits who attack you, but it has to be in an old world place like Stocks or (dungeon in Orgrimmar) :)would make me lol to see him 'hidden' in there he also has to drop an epic bunny trincket that increases jump height.... thats my two cents...or 4 copper...

I'm looking forward to:
dual specs
30 min hearths
wintergrasp timer accessible from map
argent tournament
new wintergrasp rules
new craftable items
noblegarden
swimming mounts
battleground queuing from anywhere
Pretty much all of it. Only reason I haven't mentioned Ulduar itself is I am a loooooooooooooong way off from getting there.
sephirah Apr 14th 2009 8:31AM
I see everyone is sooooo excited for the new Arena season!
percinho Apr 14th 2009 8:32AM
Clam meat stacking properly. There is no greater issue in the game today.
h8rain Apr 14th 2009 9:26AM
And Succulent clam meat getting a new icon to make it more succulent.
:D
Sajt Apr 14th 2009 10:24AM
Yeah I'm kinda disappointed that it's not an option in the poll. :O
