Patch day is here! Patch day is here! I'm excited and using lots of exclamation points!!!
!!!
My entire inbox asked:
Is Patch 4.0.1 coming today?
Yes.
Charlie asked (commented):
Quick note on the heirlooms. Although you are correct about the inflation of points, I believe you can still get them with champion tokens at the same price they are now, which is fairly reasonable.
Yes, but Argent Tournament and Champion's Seal farming are both so incredibly dull and drab. Anyway, there are cooler things to buy with Champions Seals, like those cool banners.
PiRATE7 asked:
Will heirlooms boost XP from 80 to 85?
No. There are new heirlooms for this, specifically head, leg and cloak heirlooms. Your existing heirlooms will still work from levels 1 through 80.
SG asked:
Is there any news on when the armory will reflect the 4.0.1 changes to stats, gear and ratings?
I would assume that 4.0.1 will be reflected as soon as the data from the servers is available for armory processing. Blizzard is pretty good about stuff like that, since the armory is really just a way to view information the server already spits out.
Have a great patch day, all!

first!

You missed the "post to be blacked out!" part.
tannerveo Oct 12th 2010 11:14AM
So you blacked out his comment because he was excited (prolly for 4.01) and excited to be first at the same time? Its nice to know nerds still compete and care who is first lol, which btw includes me. But seriously, Darky's comment about "ZOMG 4.01 is here *sarcasm* should have been the one downrated. Not a guy who obviously cares for this game (and its people like Phovos that have made this game successful... nerds)

Poor Phovos...always trying to get "first" on other websites, but he lacked the skill and dedication to actually watch for articles to go up. Instead he had to come to WoW Insider where posts automatically go up every hour, on the hour. EZmode "first" posting.
WoW Insider is catering to casuals.

Tanner...nothing about a "first" post expresses that someone cares about the information in the article. In fact, it means exactly the opposite. He scrolled right past the information about the game you think he's so excited about in order to race to post some useless, idiotic comment.
Are you seriously defending a "first" poster?
vinniedcleaner Oct 12th 2010 11:24AM
too bad he isn't 'cool' like other people....
Truewan Oct 12th 2010 11:27AM
Ha, I like how some guy gets rated up for attacking a first poster, when he himself is the first poster (cutaia)...

Well if it isn't Vinnie, my own personal heckler.
Galestrom Oct 12th 2010 11:44AM
Ninth.
Al Oct 12th 2010 11:47AM
Poor Knob, got overlooked.
Kurash Oct 12th 2010 12:04PM
@Vinnie: If you define "cool" as being the quickest to post a comment in an online article from a blog about a computer game, then your definition of it is somewhat different than mine.
Weird... I've never seen people try to defend "first!!1!" posters before. Must be 'cause it's patch day or something.
(cutaia) Oct 12th 2010 12:10PM
Kurash,
Nah...Vinnie just doesn't like me and thinks half his posts should be vague mentions of that fact these days.
mhm Oct 12th 2010 12:49PM
Who cares, really ............
Kurash Oct 12th 2010 1:50PM
@(cutaia)
Well, then maybe I should make vague pro-(cutaia) references in my posts to counter-act it. :)
Brainded Oct 12th 2010 3:01PM
I think other people are vaguely cool....
Bigface Oct 12th 2010 4:32PM
Thanks everyone for wasting my valuable scrolling time by preaching on your soap boxes about first posts. :P
thpthpthp1 Oct 12th 2010 11:03AM

Caz Oct 12th 2010 11:13AM
Agreed. Pretty sick of seeing herloom questions considering they've been covered in the comments enough times to fill a magazine.
johnthediver Oct 12th 2010 11:32AM
Wow Insider is Dem biased, tell us more about the Republican Heirlooms.
Elwoods Oct 12th 2010 11:32AM
Heirlooms?
There are heirlooms?
Where can I get them?
How much do they cost?
Do they work from 80-85?
(OK I think thats enough questions)
