More Beta Goodies

While my own Beta funtimes are on hold due to not being able to download the whole client again (its 15+ Gb!) There was a new build tonight with more cool things.

They are as follows:

More Updates To the Default UI: It seems they continue to overhaul the old interface and make it much more informative; including a lot of the information we used to have to look up on forums or articles, or via mods. Its looking good.

Guild Leveling and Guild Rewards: More info on "Guild Progression" and a preview of the sorts of things we can get through it, Pets, mounts, herilooms, and so on. Pay special attention to the Dark Phoenix!

Spec Masteries: Basically, gear above level 78 will have a stat +Mastery; it boosts the power of your "spec" via a special talent. The new Mastery Talent for each spec can be found in this article.

New Models and other Assorted Fun Things(tm): MMO-Champs has a big post up with some more changes included in the new build. Check em out!
