World of Warcraft Client Patch 3.0.2 (03/15/2008)

General

* The level cap has been increased to 80! Powerful new spells and abilities await adventurers in Northrend!

* The title "Fire Champion" will now be available to the first player on each server who got a killing blow on Ragnaros.

* Removed all Inns, Repair vendors and Flight paths from Outland to contribue to the "out there" feeling.

* Non-epic flying mounts will no longer confer a speed bonus.

* Effects that grant increased or decreased attack speed will now display a random bonus value, independent of the actual effect.

Hunter

* Due to significant talent changes, all Hunters will have their talent points reset to a default "Two-Shot Clothie" spec.

* Hunters will no longer gain 1 attack power from agility as this was overpowered. Hunters will now gain 1 attack power per point of Spirit. Existing Hunter gear has been re-itemized to reflect this.

* Silencing Shot will now be a trainable ability, available at level 50.

* In place of Silencing Shot in the Marksmanship tree will be Interrupting Shot. This attack does no damage but interrupts any spell being cast and prevents the caster from using that school again. Ever.

* We liked the normalization of pet attack speeds. Now, all pets will have the same stats, abilities and graphics.

* Hunters specced in Survival will now be, in fact, guaranteed to survive.

Mage

* Reduced damage bonus coefficients on all spells by 2% per talent point spent in anything.

* Mana gems will no longer be soulbound. This will reflect the Mage's new role.

* Counterspell will be on the global cooldown as well as having a 2 second cast time.

* All Fire spells will now generate an extra 50% threat.

* Arcane Power will now increase spell damage by 800% for 15 seconds. After the effect wears off, the Mage will be unable to cast spells for 3 minutes.

Priest

* Holy Nova has been changed. The new Holy Nova costs 100 mana and deals 1 damage to enemies trying to turn flags in a 10 yard radius.

* Priests will now have a Suicide ability, trainable at level 30, to trigger a 30-second Spirit of Redemption before dying.

* Priest racials have been altered. Fear Ward will now be available to Human and Night Elf priests. Feedback will now be available to Trolls and Undead.

* Removed the cooldown on Devouring Plague and reduced its mana cost by 80%.

* Shadowfiends will no longer bother trying to hit bosses with area of effect abilities, instead preferring to cower in a dark corner and refund their mana cost.

* Dispel Magic will now automatically fail and deal damage to the priest casting it.

Warlock

* Warlocks will now be able to summon Doomguards as regular pets

* All Warlock spells that deal damage will now heal the Warlock for the damage caused.

* Fear will no longer be restricted to one target.

* Removed the cooldown on Deathcoil and decreased its mana cost by 50%.

* Soulstones will no longer be bound to the Warlock or Unique.

* Players not grouped with a Warlock will now be able to assist with summoning Soulwells.

* To compensate for these changes, Warlocks will no longer be eligible to join groups or raids.

Druid

* Druids will no longer have talents. Instead, Druids will have Mage form, Warrior form, Rogue form and Priest form. Each of these will turn the Druid into the respective class, complete with all abilities or talents of that class, and a set of Tier 7 gear equipped.

* Innervate will no longer be castable on the druid.

* The final tick of Moonfire's damage over time effect will hit for over nine thousand damage.

Rogue

* Rogues will now deal an additional 50% damage to stunned targets.

* Rogues will no longer have Sprint, Vanish or Crippling Poison abilities.

* Players will now be able to target Rogues and select a Pick Lockbox option to have the Rogue automatically open all lockboxes in their inventory.

* The reagent cost on Blind has been changed. Blind will now require Blinding Powder, Fel Lotus, 20 gold and a Splinter of Atiesh to use.

* The tooltip for Hemorrhage has been updated to inform the player that it is terrible for raiding.

Shaman

* Purge has been renamed Air Shock so people will stop asking for it.

* All totem buffs have been changed to be inferior and shorter than their equivalent Paladin buff.

* All totems not mimicing Palading blessings have been removed.

* Shaman with Two-Handed weapon proficiencies will now have their weapon skill reset every time they log in.

* Ghost Wolf will now be a bright orange, visible through walls.

* The Restoration tree has been changed. There are now two talents, one 51-point talent that increases mana regeneration and healing done by 100%. The other talent has a maximum rank of 50 and does absolutely nothing.

Paladin

* The quest text for the Warhorse quest has been updated to reflect the fact that this quest will never be fleshed out.

* Removed the cooldown on Divine Shield. Casting this ability will automatically begin use of the Hearthstone.

* Divine Intervention is no longer castable on Paladins, Druids, Priests or Shamans.

* To better reflect the Paladin's intended role in groups, Paladins will no longer be able to wield weapons.

Warrior

* Warrior rage generation has been reduced to balance the class. All successful melee attacks will now generate one rage point.

* Execute will now be usable when the target is below 90% health.

* Warrior auto attacks have now been replaced with Hamstrings.

Items

* The current stat rating system has been changed. All abilities and attribute bonuses on an item will use a rating. A sample item:

Doomsday Baton

One-Hand Mace

Equip: Increases your Damage rating by 200.

Equip: Increases your Stamina rating by 50.

Equip: Increases your Strength rating by 50.

Equip: Increases your Rating rating by 5.

* All items will now have a maximum level in addition to a minimum, ensuring that nobody runs old content once they level past the old cap.

Professions

* Enchanters will no longer be able to use trade channels as this was not in line with the "hardcore" feel of the profession.

* Engineering schematics have been removed from the game.

PVP

General

* Increased all damage dealt in PvP combat by 200%.

* Players joining battlegrounds as a premade group will now be able to choose to only fight against players who did not join as a group.

Alterac Valley

* Alliance will now cap graveyards and towers instantly after turning the flag.

* Horde will now ressurect at the Snowfall graveyard regardless of which graveyards they control.

* Korrak will now spawn on top of the Snowfall graveyard.

* Alliance NPC's in Dun Baldar are now linked.

Arathi Basin

* The Blacksmith will now give out five times as many resources as the other nodes.

User Interface

* Mods will no longer be able to detect chat messages or combat events as this was giving players too much information.

Mac

* Players using a Mac will now have the <MAC> tag in front of their names and will only be able to chat and group with other Mac users.

Bug Fixes

* Fixed a bug where Hogger would sometimes deal too much damage to a level 9 Tauren Hunter using a computer with 768 MB of RAM and a pony sticker on the side.

* Mobs will now correctly apply a Daze and dismount effect every time they hit a player with a ranged attack, melee attack, spell, or sometimes just because they feel like it.

Hey, if anyone wants a free 10-day trial and is pretty sure they'll want to continue the game after the 10 days is over, I can send you a free trial invite. Reason I'm asking is because if you continue after the 10 days, I get a free month!

Send me a PM if you'd like an invite! I have 4 Left.

First 4 people to PM me will get an invite... Serious considerations only though... Only request a trial key if you're pretty sure you'll be continuing the game after the 10 days!

Keep in mind it DOES ask you for a credit card number for the free trial, but it's for verification purposes only.. They'll only charge you if you continue after the trial.

Hey guys! :)

Figured this would be the right place to mention my recently started WoW blog, and I was hoping to get some constructive criticism and possibly some ideas on what would be good topics to write about. There are a few posts already regarding the stuff I've been doing while playing and I was thinking of writing a few in depth game mechanics studies for the curious explorer.

Anyway, the address is http://blog.dlxmedia.net/

Even if you don't have any ideas I would very much like feedback on the current content. This is the first time I've ever written something for an "audience", so be gentle. ;)

Haven't been able to get the Armory working for me in IE7 or Opera. O well, it is in beta so I guess eventually it will be fixed.

I'm currently a 63 warrior Arm speced running around in Proc gear (I love to tank but Arms is so much easier to level) and I'm about halfway through 63 and completly bored with Zangarmarsh. But I'm not to sure what instance I should run other than BF, HFR. Does anyone got a list of all the new instances and the corresponding level you should do them? I figured I'll just do a few instances runs to finish off 63 and get me well into 64.

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."

    • Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150

      Incredible deal gets you free NVMe 512GB SSD with AMD AM5 B850 motherboard for only $150 by Sayan Sen Earlier this week we covered the story of an interesting PC case wherein you can build two full-size computers inside it as in it can house and run an AMD and an Intel system simultaneously. Speaking of building PCs, these are hard times to make one for sure as prices are often very high except during flash sales or discounts. If you are in the market for a 1080p gaming PC then Nvidia's 8GB RTX 5060 Ti is currently on sale for just $330 and you get the latest James Bond game too, for free. Speaking of which, right now there is another incredible sale going on as we can get a free 512 GB NVMe SSD from TeamGroup in the form of the G50 alongside the purchase of an AMD B850 socket AM5 motherboard for only $150 (purchase link under the specs table down below). Getting an AM5 motherboard now in 2026 will be a wise investment for sure, especially since AMD confirmed its commitment to support the socket till at least 2029. The MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI is a micro-ATX motherboard that is compatible with AMD Ryzen 9000 series processors. Since it is AM5, the motherboard works with DDR5 memory and includes MSI’s Memory Boost technology, along with EXPO and XMP support. Connectivity features include built-in Wi-Fi 7 paired with a 5G LAN solution. The board offers a PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot with MSI’s EZ M.2 Shield Frozr II thermal solution, that is said to help maintain SSD performance by providing ample cooling against overheating. The technical specifications of the MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI motherboard are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor Micro-ATX (mATX), 243.84 × 243.84 mm Chipset AMD B850 Socket AM5 Supported Processors AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 Series Desktop Processors Memory Slots 4 × DDR5 UDIMM Max Memory 256 GB Memory Speed DDR5 8200–5600 MT/s (OC), DDR5 5600–4800 MT/s (JEDEC) Display Outputs 1 × HDMI 2.1 (up to 4K 60Hz) 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (up to 4K 60Hz) PCIe Slots 1 × PCIe 5.0 x16 (CPU) 3 × PCIe 3.0 x1 (Chipset) Audio Codec Realtek ALC897 Audio Channels 7.1-Channel High Definition Audio M.2 Slots 3 × M.2 slots M.2_1: PCIe 5.0 x4 (CPU) M.2_2: PCIe 4.0 x4 (CPU) M.2_3: PCIe 4.0 x2 (Chipset) M.2 Device Sizes M.2_1: 2280/2260 M.2_2: 2280/2260 M.2_3: 2280 SATA Ports 4 × SATA 6Gb/s RAID Support SATA: RAID 0, 1, 10 NVMe: RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 Rear USB Ports 4 × USB 2.0 2 × USB 5Gbps Type-A 1 × USB 10Gbps Type-A 1 × USB 10Gbps Type-C Front USB Headers 4 × USB 2.0 4 × USB 5Gbps Type-A 1 × USB 10Gbps Type-C LAN Realtek 8126VB 5Gb Ethernet Wireless Networking Wi-Fi 7 (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be) Tri-band 2.4GHz / 5GHz / 6GHz MU-MIMO, MLO, 4KQAM Up to 2.9Gbps Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Internal Power Connectors 1 × 24-pin ATX Power 1 × CPU Power 1 × PCIe Power (8-pin) Cooling Headers 1 × CPU Fan 1 × Combo Fan/Pump 3 × System Fan RGB Headers 3 × Addressable RGB Gen2 (JARGB_V2) 1 × RGB LED (JRGB) Additional Internal Headers 2 × Front Panel (JFP) 1 × Chassis Intrusion (JCI) 1 × Front Audio (JAUD) 1 × COM Port (JCOM) 1 × JDASH Tuning Controller 1 × TPM 2.0 Header The free TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. The NAND flash is based on TLC which means it has plenty of endurance up its sleeve. The random performance may not be as amazing as other drives with DRAM though. Still it should be very good since it can access system memory via HMB to use it as its DRAM cache. The technical specifications of the TeamGroup 512GB G50 NVMe SSD are given in the table below: Specification Value Model / Part Number TM8FFE512G0C129 Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen4x4 with NVMe Sequential Read Speed Up to 5,000 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 2,500 MB/s Endurance (TBW) 325 TBW DRAM Cache No Cache Technology SLC Cache Controller InnoGrit Controller Solution Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C Weight 7 g Dimensions 80.0 × 22.0 × 3.7 mm Vibration Resistance 80 Hz ~ 2,000 Hz / 20G Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5 ms MTBF 3,000,000 hours Get it at the link below: MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI AM5 AMD motherboard + Team Group T-FORCE G50 TM8FFE512G0C129 512GB SSD (free gift): $149.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) This Newegg deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.
