to be released after Patch 3.0.2</b></font><br />The items checked to complete the C'thun kill achievement have been updated ... Not interesting enough ? Well, Tigole also mentionned that is getting patched in a patch deployed <b>after</b> the next one. Patch 3.0.2 is still expected to be released next week (but not officialy confirmed in any way for the moment) and we'll probably see Patch 3.0.3 deployed shortly after. <br /><div class="blizzquotewrap"><div class="blizzquoteinner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span><div class="blizzquoteheader"><span>Quote from: <b>Tigole (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/20/8557074411-retro-dungeon--raid-boss-kill-update.html" target="_blank" style="color: white;">Source</a>)</span></b></div><div class="blizzquote">We just added the C'Thun BP's to the retro list. Previously, we were checking the quests but the quests were not recorded because they are repeatable.<br /><br /><b>This fix won't go in the upcoming patch but one that will follow that patch by a week or two.</b> So hang on to those C'Thun BP's and you'll get credit.

That shouldn't adversely affect their dps, but will also hopefully keep them from stacking nothing but crit. We do want to see warriors with swords and maces after all.<br /><br /><b>Fury:</b> We are lowering the cooldown on Bloodthirst to 5 sec (from 6) and lowering the penalty on Titan's Grip to 12% (from 15%). Our hope is that with more BTs and more yellow hits connecting that the excess rage will drain away. The net dps increase will also help Fury catch up to Arms.<br /><br />I understand that many of you suggested a new attack for Fury. That is a pretty major change so we want to make sure it's needed (for Lich King ship -- we could always add it as a later patch). We would need to reorganize the tree, adjust trainers, perhaps change other talents to affect it, perhaps change glyphs, and all of that assumes we get the numbers close on the first attempt. More than likely it would take a lot of iteration. So, it's still on the table, but it's a last resort for now and something we will definitely consider at a later date. </div><span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div></div><br /><font size="3" style="line-height: 1.3em;"><b>Blue posts</b></font><br /><div class="blizzquotewrap"><div class="blizzquoteinner"><span class="corners-top"><span></span></span><div class="blizzquoteheader"><span>Quote from <b>Blizzard staff</b></span></div><div class="blizzquote"><span style="color: white;"><b>Cold-Weather flying not required to level up at higher levels</b></span><br />This is not true. You are not required to have Cold Weather Flying to complete leveling in the 77-80 zones. If you do not have Cold Weather Flying, you will get a "loaner mount" that will permit you to complete leveling in the zones.
