World of Warcraft Patch 5.0.4 has gone live today and with it comes some exciting changes.
A World Event, Attack on Theramore Isle, will begin in the weeks leading up to the September 25th launch of Mists of Pandaria. This world event will have War-chief Garrosh launching an all out attack on Theramore Isle. It seems the Horde will gain control of this area as the Alliance will not be able to keep up.
Account Wide Achievements will also make its debut in this patch and will allow pretty much all of your achievements to be shared among your other characters.
AOE Looting will allow players to loot multiple corpses at once, all in one window. This is just one of those things that we wish we had a long time ago. Right skinners?
Cross Realm Zones will allow players to be able to group with others from different realms. This should be great if you can’t find a buddy to work with on your realm. This feature will be implemented slowly at first by only working with a few realms at a time in order to test things out.
This patch will help players get used to the new talent trees and prepare them for the events to come as Blizzard slowly transitions the current world and lore into the new patch. The changes to the talent system are pretty drastic and will have you looking around for spells and abilities that are no longer on your UI, including how your pets and mounts are displayed . This is also a really exciting time for players who have been away from the game for a while as new content and features begin to roll in.
