WoW Mobile Armory updates for Mists of Pandaria
The WoW Armory mobile app has received an update for Mists of Pandaria. Several features have been added, including support for Mists features such as the pandaren race and the monk class. The new talent system has also been added, allowing you to inspect each talent's tooltip, and to inspect the talents, specialization spells and glyphs of any player, in both specs. I personally found the way the talent screens work to be a little confusing. The default screen when you hit the talents button is actually the list of spec-specific spells, and the method for getting to the talents and glyphs isn't entirely obvious. In case you're having the same struggle as I had, slide the screen to the left to reveal the other screens. Additionally, account-wide achievements are now in, with certain achievements highlighted in a fetching blue color -- the account level achievements such as Battlemaster. The new achievements for Mists of Pandaria have also been added. Various bugs were fixed, and Italian language support has been implemented. And, of course, the mobile armory's entire arsenal was release for free on August 23, including the mobile auction house and mobile guild chat.
World of Warcraft Remote services now free to all players
Users of the World of Warcraft Remote subscription service just got some interesting news today. Apparently, WoW Remote features, including the mobile auction house and guild chat, have been made available to all players for free starting today. Remote services still require a capable smartphone, of course, so if you're still using that old Nokia brick, it may be time to upgrade. Now that these features are being made free, I wonder if this means new premium features are in the works? What do you think -- mobile pet battles? Update: Blizzard has released the formal announcement on the official World of Warcraft community site. Players who had previously been paying for a WoW Remote subscription are also reporting that they received thank you emails from Blizzard, along with 7 free days of game time for their active WoW accounts, and a Lil' XT non-combat pet to keep or give to a friend.
World of Warcraft Mobile Armory updated to version 3.1.0
The World of Warcraft Mobile Armory for iPhone was updated earlier today to version 3.1.0. The update adds improved mobile auction house functionality, visual tooltips in chat, additional guild features, and other general quality-of-life improvements to bring the mobile app up to par with Battle.net's latest web interface and expected on-the-go functionality. The mobile app, the Battle.net web interface, and World of Warcraft's built-in UI all seem to be continuously competing with each other to push the capabilities of WoW's virtual marketplace while simultaneously struggling to keep up with each other. It should be interesting to see how the other two platforms follow up on this app update. You can view the full patch notes behind the cut below.
