WoW: Fixes for patch 2.1/2.2 and beyond

World of Warcraft patch updates, as well-meaning as they are, have a nasty tendency of leaving us confused on what’s been done to improve our game experience.

But while we’re still getting accustomed to the recent fixes, Schwick over at the WoW Europe boards decided to ease everybody’s anxiety by providing a compilation of future patch updates (that would be 2.1/2.2, and beyond).

Here are some of the meatier highlights, according to WoW Insider:

• Druids will get an epic flight form, but they’ll have to have 300 riding skill to use it – unlike their regular flight form.
• The priest spell Circle of Healing is still being looked at for changes, but Blizzard doesn’t anticipate changing Pain Suppression in any meaningful way.
• The PVP matching system will be introduced in the next content patch.
• There will probably be an Emerald Dream dungeon, but there’s a good chance it will be saved until the next expansion. Ravenholdt and the Sunwell will probably be important in the future.
• Professions will be getting a revamp, and engineering is the first one they’re going to look at.
• Warlock and hunter pets will be dismissed upon flying, so they no longer drag behind you on the ground and make you feel guilty.
• Guild housing, player last names, and guild banks are all things Blizzard is currently working on.

Schwick assures everybody that the info comes from Blizzard, with further updates to be expected as he picks up more data. Just be aware of any changes that may take place.
