Cata announced August 21, 2009. Released December 7th 2010.
Expect a year at most.

They better don't do this. They lost a lot of players in Wotlk/Cataclysm because they did that. Doesn't help that holiday events are the same each year, so people get bored of the same content over and over.
Talking about holiday events, Blizzard is getting lazy if you compare them to other mmo's. They're almost exactly the same each year while other mmo's add new stuff. Just look at GW2.

Unlikely unless there is another raid coming up that they haven't announced. Patch 3.3 was released on December 9, 2009 and 4.3 was on November 29, 2011, after the expansions had been announced.
Didn't Blizzard say during MoP that they were releasing more patches per expansion pack? I personally don't think WoD will take a year and will most likely come out in April-ish. I wouldn't be surprised if it took a year though.

This is also what I'm hoping for, but given past history I'm not holding my breath :\
You don't have to. You get one free instant 90 with the expansion. 🆓
Also Mike said during an interview yesterday that 5.4 was "the last major content patch".
My warlock is 86 so it is easy to do that,going to pick a new char and class when the expansion hits.
There will be no 5.5, so the next expansion is probably coming within the next 6 months. Beta is probably going to start within the next few weeks.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
You're still going to see this happen with future gear tiers, though.
Right, I just meant that the only reason there was a year gap the past 2 expansions was because the last raid had not yet been released when the expansion was announced.
I believe there will be another pre-expansion patch though which turns the portal red and starts the Iron Horde invasion, but who knows how much content will be in there. Hopefully it's as big as the BC/Wrath pre-expansion stuff, those were fun times.

Happy with all these gearing changes, but I did like meta gems =(
Honestly can't say I am happy about reforging being gone. Personally I liked being able to change stats around based on what is most important for my spec. I feel like getting rid of hit/exp removes the real problem people bitched at with reforging. But now if you get <Boots A> that aren't as itemized as well as <Boots B> you won't be able to reforge the weak stat away for the stat you actually want, pretty lame move.
I suggest you look at the *other* bits about gearing changes...
Edit: Although I guess if secondaries are still intact and don't change situationally...
Exactly. Reforging gave me a way to customize those secondaries to what I wanted or my spec needed based on my other gear and such. The only pain with it was because a lot of the time you were using it to juggle hit/exp, that won't be a problem anymore so it could be more useful for stacking my stat of choice. It sounds annoying honestly because assuming nothing has changed (which maybe it has, I haven't checked) stuff like haste breakpoints will still be a thing for a lot of specs so instead of reforging to that last bit of haste you need you will absolutely have to be wearing specific pieces of gear to reach it. In the end you will be praying to RNG gods more than you do now because the BiS pieces of gear become much more important.
That kind of system worked fine in classic and tbc where your gearing options were pretty limited, but, it was a pain in the ass during wrath when I had like 4 different pairs of pants I could use in one slot, but, three of them were trash because they didn't have the stats I needed.

That happens every expansion. I'll come back for the pre-expansion content and to get my toons ready.
Should be unless there's something they need to interrupt. Or unless they're allergic to Imps.

I just hope we don't have to wait a whole year for it to come out.

Not sure how I feel about reforging being removed. On paper it sounds fine because it'll be much easier to quickly equip gear you get in WoD with the changes to stats and enchanting and jewelcrafting. But I'm worried about things like haste break points as someone already mentioned. And what about classes like resto shamans were all three secondary stats are viable, so you can choose based on preference.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I can't remember a single WOW trailer, aside from the cgi ones. They're all forgettable imo. All the exciting bits are in the details.
You should if you've already begun levelling it. I'd like to level every class to max level at some point. I'll want to use the boost on the class I find the least appealing. Unfortunately, Death Knights start at 55 so it would be a colossal waste to use it on one. I'll probably end up using it on a rogue instead.

Well that will be strange, no more extra bonus for your armor.
On the demo booths they had setup, gems were like "8 Agi" or "4 agi, 2 crit"

Observer is the highest dps pet for PVE. There's generally no reason to use imp.
Haste breakpoints are going away along with snapshotting, dots will be same length with the last tick doing reduced damage based on how much time was left before a full tick would have happened.
4 agi 8 crit?
What is there in the demo btw? Just the item squish and L100 talents?

Eh, I think at earliest it's a "summer" release. July->September. Realistically probably on the latter end of that, August->October. Mainly because RoS is heavily looking like a Q2 release that'll be out in early April to May and they'll want to have probably at least 6 weeks breathing room between the two.
By the way is there a list of all the level 100 talents anywhere? Curious to see what they cooked up, even though many are likely to change.

More than the Fel Imp? That makes no sense, weird.

For the entirety of mists, yeah. Observer/fel hunter has always been the correct choice.
starting quests in the new zones. New quest UI(sucks)

I use my imp cause it's like what 1% less dps? fuckit, #YOLO. Gobnip and I have been through so many years of WoW together, not gonna dump him for some creepy floating eye birth defect, hmph.
Edit: I will dump him for perma DG though. Sorry Gobnip.

Mmm some interesting stuff in there, but some not so much.

By the way, thinking I might roll a Draenei female as my (first at least) serious Alliance character, trying to figure out what a good class combo with that is.
Paladin and Shaman top tier, but I already have an 85 Tauren shammy. Warrior also pretty good but I have one at 90 and another that's 70ish somewhere, probably don't want a 3rd. Not sure how I feel about the other choices.
I also have a 70-some Tauren Paladin, but tough choice between that and Shaman. Haven't actually leveled a Shaman since they revamped the skill progression - I had to do the shitty quests to acquire totems and was stuck with Enhance as the only feasible leveling spec.

I love Pokken!
Not feeling this expansion so far, then again when MoP was revealed it also didn't impress me until i was able to play the beta. Maybe the same thing will happen with WoD.
Yes, but it means that there's less loot as a whole to drop froma boss.
I am wigging out slightly, I have to admit, trying to figure out just how to handle the loot distribution in the next expansion. If they go through with the choice between personal loot or standard RL-chosen distribution, it's going to require a bit of consideration. Better to go with guaranteed drops or play the odds per-person?
I was hoping the tertiary stats would be more common than they what they are talking about, it seems they just have a random chance at showing up on certain item slots. Cloaks/Trinkets/Jewelry/Weapons might keep their stats, but all of the armor is probably only going to come in 3 flavors (crit/haste, crit/mastery, mastery/haste.) Kind of boring imho.
Ah, well, hopefully someone took some pics and will post them. Unfortunate about the new quest UI, the one in game currently seems to do it's job just fine as it is.
It will average out over time either way, you get lucky one week and unlucky the next. Might as well take as many people as you can through at one time instead of trying to sit people or organize multiple groups.
edit: err, i might have misunderstood what you meant. I think they said that personal loot is just for LFR, the other modes act as standard.
edit-edit: oh wow, missed that part of the Q&A, that's an interesting feature I guess. Might work well for PUGs instead of trying to ML everything.
I didn't take anym, wasn't sure if I'd get caught lol. The quest log and map are kind of integrated now... and I was very unclear of how to actually get to a quest's text to read... so I got a bit lost doing some quests.
