World of Warcraft 3.3 Patch Gets Launch Trailer

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

WoW, the phenomenon rolls on.

The popularity of World of Warcraft is just mind-boggling. It's a gaming industry juggernaut all of its own. Where else can you find a launch trailer with an orchestral score and voice acting for a patch to a PC game?

The new World of Warcraft Client Patch 3.3.0: Fall of the Lich King is now live and available to players. This patch is likely to be the last before the release of the next expansion, Cataclysm.

Avid players will likely have already downloaded and played the updated game, but those not fully acquainted can check out all the patch notes here.

What a surprise, Blizzard releasing, wait for it, MORE WOW CRAP! Nothing cool released since 2004. Many have lost faith, me included...

Not only does TH have no spell checkings... it also has no video clip attach checkings. Sigh.

It's a big patch with a lot of new content. What's wrong with a trailer?

i think the new lich king looks a lot like an old N64 game. they need to improve graphics, i have been saying a long time that WOW's ingame graphics needs an update.

What perfect timing.. a week before finals for most students. What better way for Blizzard to test fan loyalty?

Ugh, those patchnotes make me want to punch a baby and I don't even play WoW anymore.

A patch with new content? Has the world gone mad? That's pretty much the definition of an expansion or service pack, not a patch. WOW has f'ed up the rest of the world on a level so deep, nobody seems to notice anymore! It's just SAD!

Not like they can put more than a years worth of content in one expansion. They add content as they go as well as fixing bugs and etc.

So far it's pretty good, added some awesome stuff.

LOL I swear the title at the end said FAIL of the lich king

Didn't CoDWaW release trailers for each map pack?
It's just another new trend that will be common practice before long.

this patch has been a long time coming. Since WotLK was released, people have wondered when they would have a chance to fight Arthas... and the time has finally come. To people that have never played the game for any decent amount of time, this is ridiculous... but to people who know the back story and who follow and play the game, this is huge.

I quit playing WoW years ago, but please...
They call it content patch and why would one care about naming that much? Wow expansions come with a really sweeping changes, like new continents.

While their "patches" are generally more than just a typical patch, it is an amusing thing to have a trailer for it.

I really like Warcraft RTS games, read all Warcraft novels and now reading the comics, and of course will buy the upcoming books. But for some reason, I really hate WoW online game. I wish Blizzard would make solo adventures Warcraft series. Please :-)

This is lame with they would fix all those countless bugs to improving all those meaningless and crappy quests. At least I was lucky enough to find and exploit a bug that allowed me a third profession when it thought that I had only two. Got Enchanting, Jewlcrafting, and Blacksmithing. Really liked adding the two gem sockets then the belt buckle was a welcomed treat when you make your own gems like 24 more stamina and 20 more agility. The enchanting was a nice edge as a tank. Got 1777 stamina alone with 25k armor.
