Patch 4.2 PTR patch notes updated for 6/10

[TalonBot]

Blizzard has once again updated the patch notes for patch 4.2, which will introduce the Firelands raid and the Molten Front and the Regrowth questing areas. The most recent versions of the patch have been marked "release" and PvP season 9 is ending soon, which means we should see patch 4.2 drop in the next couple of weeks. Get your shoes on kids -- we're almost at grandpa Ragnaros' house.

The most interesting change in these notes is the effective nerfing of raiding for valor points. The maximum number of valor points one can achieve weekly has been lowered to 980, down from 1,250. The amount of valor points you could earn through heroic dungeons and the new Zandalari heroics were 490 and 980 respectively, and raiders could earn an extra 270 points on top of that. Now, it is possible to get the maximum amount of valor points from just doing Zandalari heroics.

We do not yet know why this change was made. Raiders will understandably be perplexed, as one of the raid game's main draws was faster valor point gear. In addition, the prices for valor point gear have not changed, so certain pieces of gear that used to require 2 weeks will now require more collecting. Hit the jump for all the new changes.Continue reading Patch 4.2 PTR patch notes updated for 6/10
