Welcome to Wow girl player's Forum

Lots of changes...some big, some small...where to begin...

As mentioned by others...Stormstrike Horde AV queues went from often upwards of 2 hours (2h11m my longest) to < 5 mins any time I've queued since the patch went live. Right there is a big, big kudos to Blizzard.

As far as the Horde side of the AV changes...well...hrmm. Let's just say I played AV as Alliance long before I ever rolled my Shaman. Frankly, it wasn't until I got my Shaman into AV that I fully grasped just how much of a starting advantage Horde really had in terms of distance from entry -> Van. Of course, not knowing this didn't give me an opportunity to QQ as Alliance (what a shame), but it also gives me no sympathy whatsoever for the wee lil hordlings entering their first AV since the patch with, "OMFG they nerfed AV we're so far back omfg omfg omfg!!"

Full patch notes are after the break.

Welcome to patch 2.4. There's definitely some big stuff in there. We here at WoW Insider will start poring over them now and break down what they are and what they mean. Expect tons of the news in the next few days as we get on the PTR and check everything out.

Enjoy! We're one step closer to the Sunwell!
