Patch 4.0.6 Next Week!
I know we were wrong
last time
about when we thought 4.0.6 was going to drop, but this time we're definitely lead us to believe that Patch 4.0.6 will be dropping onto live realms during maintenance next week!
Now, we
could
be wrong again (and if I am you can feel free to blame me personally and send me angry emails) - but this time we're 99% sure! The patch (a moderate 141mb) has just hit Blizzard's download servers, which means we'll most likely see it piped into our Background Downloader with the upcoming Tuesday maintenance!
Stay tuned for updates as we get closer to weekly maintenance!

Dungeon Finder's Luck of the Draw Buff Increased up to 15% in 4.0.6
Blizzard is taking another step towards improving the quality of random pickup groups and hopes to increase their success rate in Heroic dungeons with their latest plan to increase the effect of the
Lotterieglück
buff. Apparently, this buff (which is applied whenever you have a random player in your Dungeon Finder group) wasn't even working properly in Cataclysm dungeons, which caused some encounters and dungeons to be harder than intended for pickup groups. This has been corrected, and the buff will now increase 5% per random player up to a maximum of a 15% increase in damage, healing and health.
Of course, this increase is by no means a way to "fix bad" and some groups will still experience issues, however hopefully this buff, combined with the plethora of dungeon and encounter changes coming with the patch, will make the random dungeon experience more enjoyable (or at least bearable).
What do you think? Is this a step in the right direction?

PTR Patch Changes and Additions - Artifact Sell Prices Changed, Again
Today's PTR patch brought only a few class changes, mostly those which were
added to the official patch notes
yesterday. We have the latest spell diffs as well as
updated
values for artifacts in patch 4.0.6! As it was stated in the patch notes:
The sell value of all common artifacts has been doubled, while a small subset of common artifacts have had their sell value increased far beyond that.
This excited many players who were put off by the fact that most
Archäologie
artifacts are currently (basically) worthless. In this latest PTR patch, Blizzard has changed the sell price of many artifacts (yet again), increasing most common artifacts to values well over ! It's also worth mentioning, however, that the

The Shattering (Patch 4.0.3a) Hits Azeroth: It's The End of the World as We Know It
The day has finally come: Azeroth has been torn asunder, and now it's time to pick up the pieces!
Blizzard has been hinting at it by preparing patches on the PTR for release, and Bashiok was even
toying with forum posters last night

It is time, friends, for the world to shatter.
For the rest of the day this post will act as your homepage and guided tour to all the content in patch 4.0.3a. Any time new content is posted or added, you'll be able to find it on this page—so if you run into anyone who's wandering around Azeroth after the servers come up going "OMG WHAT HAPPENED," just link them here!

Live Patch (13329): The Shattering is Imminent!
It looks like a new patch will be hitting the live servers this week, and all indications are that this will be the moment we've all been anticipating for years.
