You can earn up to 980 VP per week from random Heroic dungeons.

Of that 980 VP, only 490 VP can be earned from tier 1 Cataclysm Heroics. The remaining 490 VP must be earned by running Rise of the Zandalari Heroics (tier 2).

Alternatively, you can reach the 980 VP cap exclusively by running tier 2 Heroics.

The 980 VP you can earn from running tier 1 and tier 2 random Heroic dungeons will count towards your weekly overall cap of 1250 VP.

And, as stated before, if you want to maximize your VP gains, you can still reach the overall weekly cap of 1250 by defeating raid level content.

This patch also contains an update to the game settings menus. Video and Sound settings have been merged into a more streamlined interface, featuring Network, Voice and Sounds tabs below the already present Graphics and Advanced tabs. Any settings that are set higher than what your computer can handle will now display an exclamation point next to them, notifying you of potential performance issues.

In addition to this, there are new settings related to your computer network, like optimization of network speed through increased bandwidth usage. Along with this, there is also the option to use IPv6 connection if available. Another exciting addition is the option to change graphic APIs.
