Tom Chilton (Kalgan) odgovorio je na par pitanja postavljena od strane Gamona.de u vezi Patcha 4.3, i dobili smo veoma interesantnih sledećih informacija! Patch 4.3 sadržaće sledeće:

We're at GamesCon in Cologne, Germany, and just did an interview with Tom Chilton, Lead Game Developer and Chris Robinson, Lead Art Director, in which they revealed a lot of details regarding patch 4.3 - and it seems that the announcement of it being huge was no joke:
Patch 4.3 will bring us the Deathwing raid instance! This means it's likely that we'll be able to fight the Aspect of Death in an epic encounter within this year. The raid that was originally expected for this patch, the "Abyssal Maw", was cut from the schedule because, as Chilton states, the setting and the story were not convincing enough.
Furthermore, 4.3 will also bring three entirely new 5-man instances - Chilton assured us that these won't contain any re-vamped content, but instead be brand new with unique design and models. Chilton also hinted at one of those being within the Caverns of Time, allowing players to experience another great moment of Warcraft Lore first-hand.
The interview also revealed the purpose of the "mystery ethereals" in Stormwind (and likely other cities, too). The "Transmogrifier" NPC will allow players to change the displayed model of equipment to that of another item while keeping the original attributes: Transmogrification is only possible within an armor class - Plate armor can only assume the looks of other Plate armor, for example.
The "Void Storage" is a very large bank-esque storage which allows old equipment to be stored, freeing up inventory/bank slots for players. The developers aren't sure yet about the definition of "old equipment". The cost of the storage (and whether there even is one) is another thing that is not yet decided
Another possible feature that was hinted at is the possibility of "void stored" equipment being available to other characters on the account (NOTE: That part might be speculation from Gamona, not cross-server transfers actually confirmed. Hard to tell.)
Overall, it seems that we've got a huge patch ahead of us - a new raid, three brand new instances, Transmogrification and Void Storage.
- Novi Raid - Deathwing raid, verovatno će to i biti poslednji patch pred sledeći nastavak.
- 3 nove 5-man istance - Uključujići Caverns of Time. (War of the Ancients je bio spominjan kao Cataclysm istanca pre par godina, ali se mnogo stvari od tada promenilo, ko zna...)
- Transmogrifier NPC, Omogućiće Vam da promenite izgled vaše opreme, dok vam statstovi ostaju istu. (npr T12 Stats, ali izgled opreme biće kao Tier 2!!!)
- Void Storage je nova banka gde igrači mogu da odlože svoju staru opremu kako bi imali više slobodnog mesta u regularnoj banci.
- Abyssal Maw je takodje spomenuti, medjutim priča i dalje ostaje nepoznata.

- Class restrictions apply to Transmogrification - Warriors cannot transmogrify their armor to look like Death Knight tier sets.
- The developers are considering whether they should only allow using the models of equipment that has already been obtained
