‘Read all about it! Wowhead releases new details of Patch 4.3!’
Looks like there was more news than I thought of for Patch 4.3, and it isn’t just about Deathwing. I need to pay attention to wowheadnews.com more often.
First off, for Blizzard to show that 4.3 isn’t the end of the world.. of warcraft, there’s new info about the new Darkmoon Island. PvP and PvE players will have quests to do there. There is even a legendary Rogue quest chain, where a skilled Rogue’s powers are required. Corastrasza (the dragon you saved in Twilight Highlands) will be assisting the player in these.
New games will be at the faire, and they are dailies to boot. They are “Whack-A-Gnoll“, “Cannon Blast“, “Ring Toss“, and possibly some kind of target shoot game. Can’t wait to play with these.
And that’s not all. You can now increase your professions by doing quests. How this works, is beyond me (no real details about it). But if you do one, the prof it’s attached to gets +5 in it.
Worgens will be able to finally stop running around on all fours and actually have a real mount. Two new horse mounts, the Mountain Horse and the Swift Mountain Horse, will be added in 4.3. The models look like regular horse mounts, which is a disappointment. The horses and the trainer will be found near the new Worgen area in Darnassus.
And that’s pretty much it (that I care about). The rest shows detailed info and pictures of the final dungeon in Cata; Hour of Twilight. It lists the bosses and how they can kill you, if you’re not careful. Also has pictures and info of the Well of Eternity.
There’s even some info of the raid. Namely how it starts. Players are on a gunship called The Skyfire, armed with cannons and harpoon guns. The guns will be used to kill the remaining Twilight Dragons and wipe them off the planet. Blizzard says the gunship is not indestructible. If it blows up, it’s considered a wipe for the entire raid. The twilight guys on the dragons will try to blow up the ship and players must kill them before they can. This is not listed as a boss fight.
I assume after they are defeated, the harpoon guns will be used to hold Deathwing so players can head down and dismantle him.
End Time apparently is still the only dungeon available for testing in the PTR, even though the pictures in the Hour of Twilight has players attacking bosses and trash mobs.

And tomorrow, I will re-enter the PTR. I first got to figure out how to copy Benie, into it. This to me should help show me what I’m up against. Instead of being a spectator, I’ll be a viewer. I’ll have my own screenshots. Maybe even make a movie of what End Time looks like from my perspective.
And when Darkmoon Island, the Well of Eternity, and the Hour of Twilight open up, I’ll be there to see them.
