Patch 3.3
Patch 3.3 Information
We're preparing some information to share with you about patch 3.3. You'll just have to stay tuned for that. I can say though that the five-player dungeon portion of Icecrown Citadel is absolutely epic and essential to the unfolding story of the Lich King and your battle to end his wrath.
Vehicle Fights in Icecrown Citadel
There will be no vehicular or mounted combat in the dungeon. [...] We talked at BlizzCon about an airship battle involving the Horde and Alliance ships in Icecrown for the raid, but this isn't really a vehicle fight comparable mechanically to those found in Ulduar, Wintergrasp, Isle of Conquest, or Trial of the Champion.
Icecrown Dungeons
That isn't our philosophy. We're carefully designing three separate wings of a sprawling five-player dungeon -- the largest we've released in a long time -- precisely so that a majority of our end-game player base can take part in an epic experience. You'll see plenty of significant areas, heroes, and foes in Icecrown Citadel without having to set foot in the raid. (Source)
The five-player dungeon is completely separate from the raid dungeon. It's not a five-player version of the same content.
Patch 3.2.2
Changes to Alterac Valley in 3.2.2
It was explained in the sticky on the PvP Discussion forum. Unfortunately, a change to the level brackets for Alterac Valley made it into a build for patch 3.2.2 when it was intended for patch 3.3. Because of this the NPCs were not properly tuned for select level brackets. Given that this change was going to happen anyway, we made the decision to keep the level bracket change since it already went live and address any adverse affects as they arise.
Requirements for holiday achievements
Some holiday achievements require near maximum-level PvE content. This remains so even if people aren't inclined to reach maximum level.
Some holiday achievements require players to go into battlegrounds. This remains so even if people aren't inclined to get honorable kills on their character.
And, yes, some holiday achievements require skill in a secondary profession, and we have no plans to change that.
