To achieve these goals, we’ll be toning down the difficulty of both normal and Heroic raids through hotfixes in the coming weeks. In general, we plan to reduce health and damage of all raid bosses in both normal and Heroic Firelands by around the same percentage we brought difficulty down for the original Cataclysm raids when Rage of the Firelands (patch 4.2) was released.

We're looking forward to seeing more groups of players face off against the Fire Lord in the weeks ahead. However, before we make these changes, we want to give everyone a final shot at the bosses at their current difficulty level -- so this is a heads up that we’re planning to apply the difficulty hotfixes beginning the week of September 19.

Stay tuned to the Patch 4.2 Hotfixes blog for these and other live updates to the game as they happen."

it worries me a bit :/ If deathwing is the last boss of the expansion, how long till the next expansion ?

About the nerf, it's just one more.

uh....cataclysm hasnt been out for even a year hasnt it? or has it been one and a half...

It came 7/12-2010
So it hasnt been a year yet!

wow X4 is schedualed to be released in q2 of 2012.

footnote: diablo 3 is schedualed to release q4 2011, hopefully around christmas.

I think this is a marketing thing Again....they're afraid of guildwars 2, and a few other things on the side
Arenanet keeps giving out surprises, though they atmitted that it's going to be delayed bigg time as they wanna make it ''perfect''.
wow is really getting outdated now, and i think blizz might have learned it's lesson with the half failed starcraft 2 (if they havent then they will learn with diablo 3)

we can expect the end boss to be rediculously easy, like ICC was...
So blizz can release the newest expansion which has already been finished and is ready for distribution! quickly before the beta's of GW 2 and its release about a month after.

either that, or they will keep to their promise on making cata hard, and we'll spend 2 months trying to down the little dragon and get one of his heavily Panzerred and armed, yet surprisingly fast offspring drakes as a mount.

a future glimpse :
How long will it take roughly to get to level 90?
Ghostcrawler : errr...well err as long as it took to get to 60, back in vanilla...but you will quest only a quarter of the content instead of half like it was in cataclysm.

What about the tallent systems?
Ghostcrawler : errr...we'r going to rewrite it Again slightly because we don't want players to have too many skills from another tree, as most trees will have a mostly powerfull tallent or skill in the 3rd row of a tree.

Will there be a new race?
Ghostcrawler : Yes the strange and very very rare sasquash which apeared no more than 3 times through the whole warcraft 3 and the expansion will have suddenly grown a massive forrest city in the sea...these vicious meanous and enormous beasts will join the happy-go-lively alliance!

The ethereals have decided to join the horde, as this will allow them to compete with goblins in dominance over trade.

Will there be a new class?
Ghostcrawler :Yes, much like there was only 1 deathknight before..namely Arthas, players will now be allowed to create a DarkRanger! Currently the only true darkranger is Sylvanas Windrunner.

Will we see anything new in raid content?
Ghostcrawler : Absolutely, but we will also introduce the return of some old enemies!

Do those enemies happen to be onyxia, leotheras, the entire Burning Legion and any other who said they would return?
Ghostcrawler : Err...I'm not qualified to answer those questions.
