6.2.2 Incoming

Patch 6.2.2 for WOW is coming on Wednesday 2nd September (UK) and with it comes flying in Draenor.  Many of my guild mates are looking forward to flying but for me, its not such a big thing.  In Draenor you do not really have much difficulty getting around if you are level 100 and have all the flight points.  I can see that it may make getting about in Tanaan a little easier as you can avoid a lot of the mobs and will be good for finding rares but it is not the most important thing.  I can understand completely why Blizzard have not introduced it until now.  The maps they have created are good and if people could fly they would not explore the areas on the ground.  I like to complete the quest lines and read the story behind each zone but for some they just want to level as fast as possible making them take a little time is not such a bad thing.  I was going to add a guide to the pathfinder achievement (needed to get flying in Draenor) but there really isn't much point and Wowhead had done a fantastic job of explaining this which I would just be duplicating so please read Wowhead Pathfinder guide if you need a guide.

So what else (of interest) is coming in 6.2.2?
- PVP Mercenary mode - if there is a long queue for your faction when queuing for Ashram or unrated battlegrounds you will be able to queue as an agent for the opposite faction.
- New Timewalking Rewards - Completing timewalking dungeons will now reward a timewarped badge which can be turned in for toys and mounts.
- Legendary Ring Questline - New weekly quests added to help players catch-up, hopefully leading to less LFR runs of Highmaul and BRF.  I will be getting the legendary ring on my Shamen after 6.2.2 and will record here how long it takes using this catch-up method :)
- New areas in Tanaan Jungle and Nagrand, only reachable with flying, with 3 rares each that drop 3 new toys and pets.

There are also other changes which can be seen in the full patch notes, some racial ability changes and some new holiday changes to Winter Veil and Hallow's End (about time).
I am an achievement hunter and a pet/mount collector although not a completely successful one as although I do have over 600 unique pets I only have 223 mounts.  With achievement points again not to bad but not the best, currently I have 20280 so still some work to do.

Enjoy 6.2.2 :)
