Breakfast Topic: What's your most anticipated patch 4.3 feature?

Patch 4.3 is one of those sea-change patches where bombshell features are being added to the game. Transmogrification, void storage, and the Raid Finder (just to name a few) are big deals. WoW has been without solid character customization options for years, and transmogrification hopefully is only the beginning of a new push for more options.
Transmogrification is obviously my new favorite feature coming in patch 4.3, but what about you, dear readers? What are you most looking forward to doing or experiencing once the servers go back up and Azeroth finally gets to stand up against the might of Deathwing the Destroyer?
Oh, and if you need some context on the image above, the image of Deathwing smoking a hookah was actually a misunderstanding between a foreign art team and Blizzard while working on Warcraft: Lord of the Clans, but it was so awesome Blizzard decided to leave it in. Deathwing, you've changed, buddy. You used to be so chill.

Transmog.

Maybe Onixia should transmog her scales back to her classic body. I mean, her gear looks terrible now.

This, but only if Mother Sharaz will drop my stupid token. I've run BT every week since they announced transmog and almost every week, the token has not dropped. The one time it dropped, I lost the roll. At this rate, I'm pretty sure I'm going to see a glaive before I get my token.

Agreed. However, I highly doubt anybody wants to use that huge word to describe what they just did to their gear every time.
So over on LS we've coined the term "flipped". Simple. Just flip yo shit.

Prospecting pyrite ore to epic gems! I still believe! (despite all facts to the contrary)
Shinae Nov 29th 2011 10:26AM
I admit, I'm also going to try with the couple stacks of ore I have. I could use some gems more than the metal anyway.

Also looking forward to transmogrification.
Finally I will be able to look like a Death Knight again, instead of a warrior with glowing eyes.

The epic Deathwing fight. It sounds like nothing I've ever done before, especially being on his back and hacking off his armour!
*very excited troll* Can't wait :-)

Deathing... do a barrel roll!
Maymer Nov 29th 2011 8:07AM
All I can think of now is Deathwing being like this....

Chillwing, the Aspect of Kickin' Back

I wish hookah Deathwing made it into "canon" in some way, that screenshot gets more and more fabulous every time I look at it.
I can see how that misunderstanding occurred too-- some writer on the Blizzard team wrote some purple prose-filled description of Deathwing that included the description "smoking", and then this description had to be translated into Russian for the animators, and it turned into the verb "smoking", and bam.

Not having my venerable Cenarion Hippogryph sound like a Flameward Hippogryph anymore.

The boost to 71-80 xp.
Have some alt that need dusted off and leveled!

THE MOUNT YOU GET FOR SIGNING ANOTHER YEAR WITH WOW!
Catsmeow Nov 29th 2011 9:26AM
I completely, absolutely forgot about this until I read your comment. I now completely, absolutely adore you, random internet stranger!
ravyncat Nov 29th 2011 9:56AM
Yes! Angel Pony!!
My pally will love it. ^^
I was so pissed when they took away my horse and gave me an elephant.
(I hate elecks. )
Now she can have a proper pally looking horse that flies!

The patch as a whole.
I am not necessarily a Cataclysm hater, but the game has definitely slowed down when compared to previous expansions. One could argue the natural evolution of an expansion (and how it dies down towards the end) but I do not think we should have hit the wall already. We have a lot of gametime left before MoP launches.
This patch I believe is going to "speed the game up" on multiple fronts. The raid finder coupled with smoother, streamlined content means more players (hopefully) finding their way back. The darkmoone faire, transmog, and void storage will wrangle in even more players just by sheer curiosity. More players means more viable PUGs, better pvp (world or not) and a deeper economy.
I believe.
