Blizzard omits some class changes from WoW 'Echoes of Doom' patch

Shortly after our earlier post on the release of World of Warcraft patch 3.0.2 "Echoes of Doom" went up, we started receiving tips that the patch notes we linked to were inaccurate. Turns out they are ... because, as our friends at WoW Insider report, Blizzard yanked a number of major class changes prior to its release.
In the run-up to next month's Wrath of the Lich King launch, Blizzard is evidently making changes to the game's balance on what seems to be a second-by-second basis, with the developer stating that patch 3.0.2 was balanced at level 80 with all of the intended changes but ... not so much at 70. Rather than make things messier, it went with what worked.
Blizzard says that all players should get the (for now) shelved changes by the time WotLK launches on Nov. 13. It also expects there to be numerous hot fixes at that point, asking its fans to hold strong during this (hopefully brief) period of hectic pre-launch scuttering about.

I keep going from blog to blog. I'm so bored, and finally have free time to play WoW, but it's still down! Huurrryyyyy!!!

Who else thinks this fool should be banned for posting flamebait in a completely un-related article?
Even if it does come out it will be way after a year since the release. No one cares anymore.
Jakka @ Oct 14th 2008 3:35PM
How many people cared about MGS4 for 360 in first place(and before you point at me, hey I was just arguing it could actually be done.)?
LBP/K2/R2 or GTFO.

I agree on the ban.

WAH another ps3 exclusive is lost....OMG ban the informant!
This article is nothing special. And it's not like I'm spamming every single article with this VERY interesting piece of news.
I agree though Jakka that not many people care on the 360 side. To me it's a glorified movie that just happens to have a few gameplay elements to it.
However you can't deny that this would be another dagger in the ps3 and that there are some 360 owners who do want to play the game.
tmacairjordan87 @ Oct 14th 2008 3:59PM
A dagger just like how bioshock and oblivion was going to ps3 right? Like I said, you're trolling attempt failed cause no one gives a shit anymore. It's been almost 5 months after the game came out.
Jake B @ Oct 14th 2008 4:03PM
Or if you really wanted to play the game you would quit being a broke bitch and cough up the money for a ps3. Take out a second mortgage on your cardboard box if you have to.
offday @ Oct 14th 2008 4:06PM
Yeah. Gez haven't you heard? It's been out for 5 months. It's not even worth playing it anymore! Just like BioShock...oh wait.
Rudolphe @ Oct 14th 2008 4:46PM
even though he's an idiot, i'm happy for this. Even happier that it's a big old LOL to all the ps3 fan boys who said it'll never happen.
tmacairjordan87 @ Oct 14th 2008 5:12PM
And it's still not happening. It's pretty much been confirmed by now that it was a mistranslation as the original article was in japanese. Keep dreaming people.

You'll be able to play it in a browser or on some XBLA type service in 15 years. Stop complainin'!
Will @ Oct 14th 2008 6:30PM
