World of Warcraft upgraded to 1.7; Hunters get rehauled

By Ross Miller

Blizzard today released a patch for the unstoppable behemoth known only as World of Warcraft. Patch 1.7 makes for a long list of improvements,
modifications, additions, and subtractions. Put on a tea kettle and set aside a good bit of time of you want to read through all that the patch updates, but here is quick rundown on the big points:

  • A new high-level raid (Zul'Gurub), a new battleground (Arathi Basin), and the Stranglethorn Fishing
    Extravaganza, whose title pretty much speaks for itself.

  • "Holidays" for Battlegrounds, from most Thursday nights until Tuesday morning, where "emissaries from that
    Battleground will be found in major cities, and honor/faction rewards for performing objectives in that
    battleground are increased."

  • Hunters "will have all talent points refunded and can be respent. Training costs for all talent spell/ability
    replacements have been significantly reduced."

The final bullet point is crucial, as now all you with Hunter characters who thought they had made a bad choice or wish they had spent their points more wisely can now try something completely different without additional cost. What do you guys think of all the new changes?
