The official 1.8 patch notes are now available!
Highlights include:
Infernal Dawn: The new 20-player Raid that challenges players with seven new boss encounters as they enter Mount Carcera to prevent the rise of Laethys and the release of Maelforge from his imprisonment beneath the volcano.
Kick back on the shores and relax, or go on a wilderness adventure; the new Fishing and Survival skills let you do both!
Players and Guilds can have an easier time finding each other through the new Guild Finder tool.
New Leaderboards feature allows you to compare and compete against your friends, guildmates, and other players in a variety of categories.
All-new appearances and animations for Druid Faerie pets, Beastmaster Primal Companions, and Ranger pets!
Instant Adventure comes to Ember Isle; level 50 characters can now join the action immediately with the new Ember Isle queue available in the Instant Adventure menu.
Achievements that are partially completed are now highlighted in the In-Progress Achievements list on the Achievement window.
