Does the pre 1.4 mounts are gonna get removed with that patch?

Lol at some of these comments. I guess this is the expected whiplash when the timeline isn't met...and then not met again there after.

I demand that this free server release the content I want right now or I will hold my breath and stomp my foot!!!

Seriously, can't wait to step foot in Dire Maul again!

To clarify for those wondering: this patch will bring dire maul and dire maul only, there will not be any additional items added to any raids this patch, and no items will be updated. In addition to that, a part (~10%) of the items that should be available in dire maul are currently not available because their old stats can't be found on the internet.

The major item update will hit along with AV in the next patch after this one, and when AV + items are out, the next thing to come will be BWL.

Source: I played on the PTR and talked with viper about it.

Good to know!

yeah except no one would care this much if the devs didn't talk up such a storm trying to hype up the server. 16 devs working for 4.5 years, all content scripted being released on a strict timeline. first vanilla server to launch with working AV. either way, yay mugger's belt!

I think it's more the idea that people feel led on. The hype videos before the server opened said that everything was fully scripted by X amount of professional programmers, many years in the making. They also said they would adhere to a progression timeline.

Obviously neither of these things are true, so many people feel like they're wasting time while the devs play catch up. And, of course, as we all know, time is money, friend.

I've done the research myself too, and while it's easy to prove that an item should exist at a certain patch, it's harder to "prove" what stats an item should have, I have talked to them and urged them to implement any items not related to the big spelldamage update, since they shouldn't have been changed unless noted in any patch notes. This isn't anything I can prove though.

If you want to do your own research, use atlasloot ingame to figure out which items in dire maul that aren't in, and try to find their stats for the current patch (1.3)
