In-game fixes for Tuesday September 22nd
While Patch 3.2.2 has been released today, there are still a good number of additional in-game fixes that were applied after the patch went live. Those fixes are all detailed after the break.However, one thing that hasn't been talked about yet by Blizzard officially, but WoW.com can confirm through tests done by staff members, is that AV now has a 70 to 79 bracket, and an 80 bracket. In addition XP gains in AV have been cut in half for those earning XP in the 70 to 79 bracket. Where objectives used to give around 18k XP, they now only give 9k XP. Again, there has been no official word from Blizzard on this yet, but we're expecting them to say something anytime now.The full list of official in-game fixes after the break.Update 9:00 p.m. EDT: Bornakk has since confirmed the AV changes.
Patch 3.2.2: Heirlooms to grant XP bonus in Battlegrounds
One of the more confusing and misunderstood aspects of the Heirloom XP bonus and leveling system that has been going around lately has been their application in PvP Battlegrounds. Some people say that the 20% combined XP increase from the chest and shoulders applies, some say it doesn't. Lots of smart folks provide answers, but until now there really hasn't been an answer on the part of Blizzard -- who has the final and authoritative say on everything.So let's lay it out real simple for everyone, courtesy of what Zarhym said in a series of posts over the weekend: Heirloom items currently do not provide an XP bonus in Battlegrounds. Heirloom items should provide an XP bonus in Battlegrounds in Patch 3.2.2. This is great news for those of us who like to power level our alts from 71 to 80 in the span of a couple days of playing via Alterac Valley farming. It's now going to go even quicker. That's a good thing, right?The confusion of Heirloom's XP powers while in Battlegrounds is likely a result of the newness of the XP gains you can get in Battlegrounds. Eventually all that confusion will go away, and Zarhym's clear statements this weekend certainly helped with that.2n - 1 go left, 2n go right. I don't see enough DoTs! More DoTs now!
