Eight Things To Do Before 7.3
So Patch 7.3 is dropping this Tuesday (August 29th), and it’s going to take all day to do it. Good day to be working, or doing anything rather than waiting for servers to go live.
For folks like me who might not be in the loop, this patch will be changing a few things as far as classes and gear goes. Oh yeah, and we’re also going to Argus. Yep, a whole new planet. Which also means you’re going to be back to ground mounts only. Good times.
Now there’s not much to do as far as prepping for the patch. But Belle from the guild Method (and I’m sure most people have heard of Method) released a video that offers up eight tips to prepare yourself for patch 7.3
Method’s Tips for Patch 7.3 –
- Unload defiled runes.
- Bank Order Hall resources.
- Work on your Champion’s item level.
- Bank your Blood of Sargeras.
- Save your Obliterum.
- Stock up on Goblin Gliders.
- Save your higher item level relics.
- Level alts.
For an explanation of those eight tips, check out the video below.
WoW Support for XP and Vista Ending Soon
Looks like I’d better get a couple more overtime shifts in the next month or so. As one of those still using the old system, it’s going to sting if I can’t play because I’m booting up a dinosaur. As WoW community manager Ornyx said in the forums today:
As we previously announced, we will be ending support for Windows XP and Windows Vista for several Blizzard games. For World of Warcraft, we’re ending support for these operating systems in October.
Microsoft ended mainstream support for these versions of Windows in 2009 and 2012, respectively, but since a segment of our audience was still using them at the time, we continued to support them. Now that there have been three major Windows releases since Vista’s release and a clear majority of our audience has upgraded to one of the newer versions of Windows, we are ready to make this change.
After this time, Windows XP and Vista will not be supported and World of Warcraft will not run on them. We encourage any players who are still using one of these older operating systems to upgrade to a newer version prior to this date to continue playing.
