    Extendable Raid lockout periods and Universal Tier tokens. This is ontop of the already announced token changes. Crazy times ahead.

      Raid lock sounds interesting might actually mean we can do a place before it resets.

      It will be interesting to see how far you can continue to extend a raid lockup, I wouldn't be surprised if they do put a limit on it. You have to wonder also if people could abuse this to keep people locked out? We'll have to see, but it's good for us either way.

        According to the comments on wow.com from people who've hit up the PTR it's person-specific. So if one person doesn't want to extend the lockout because they're in a PuG and will be doing a guild run next week then they just don't extend on their system. Then the rest of the PuG have to find a final person but they are free to go and raid with the guild.

      o0o0 universal tokens. But like the article says, people won't be getting offspec tier gear any time soon if each of us would want 5 tokens for main spec. Sounds exciting though. Crazy amounts of crazy changes.

        I dunno - tokens for offspec might be worth more than >2 tokens for some people, we will have to discuss it when it comes up

        Aye, tis like I might prefer my non-tier gear to the tier on certain areas, if the 4 piece set bonus isn't so good.

        True but i doubt any of us have gear that currently even comes close to that tier.

      Both sound excellent! Indefinate extension would be nice (just means everyone gets less loot) and allows those of us a little slow to finally do raids all at once :-)

      From the screen shots I don't think it's indefinite. Seems to be an extend/un-extend kind of a system.

        But how often can you press extend? Either way, having those few extra days will be nice (well if we can do two thursdays in Ulduar that will be nice)

          I think/suspect it will be you can add a week to you *original* lockout period. So in effect you could have an extra week to get to bosses you didn't have time to do. I'd be very surprised if it did much past that.

          The buttons toggle extended or not, +1 week or back to original. (More clarification, the "add a week" button turns into the "unextend" button. Giving option of only extending by one week.)

          Either way I like the sound of it. We'd have had Naxx cleared a lot earlier if we could have started from two wings in the following week. I think it'll help us get through Ulduar - just a shame it wont be happening before the coliseum gets released, we're going to end up a raid behind current again :-(

          There are 14 bosses in Ulduar, 13 if you discount the one you can't do without doing all the hard modes. Even people who do 10's on a Sunday in our guild can't get past General Vezax in two sessions and that skipping early optional bosses.

          There is nothing saying you have to clear Ulduar before you start the colliseum. :P

      I have to say I'm surprised no one has mentioned the possibility of facing Hogger as a level ?? elite in the coliseum yet..
