briggaman Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Anyone tried it after patch 3.2? Welfare epics galore now. They are even easier to get than previously, so if you are a new level 80 you will be geared up for Ulduar in no time. The new instance and dungeon is also quite fun. Plus the new bg is good. It's a bit of a mix between AV and Wintergrasp. They have also lowered the mount level for people that are leveling. The game is constantly getting easier, which is good for some. I just think it is getting a bit too easy though. It has been for a while now, yet it is getting unbelievably so now. Oh well, I'm not an elitist so as long as I have fun with the game I'll continue to play it when I get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 Havent logged in in more than six months. From the outside, it looks like Blizzard are shifting the game from one where you collect gear to one where you collect achievements. I can kinda see the logic, because it means that alts and new 80's actually have a chance rather than hitting that impossible brick wall that you got if you were at the level cap in TBC or vanilla.

Delaney Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Always tempted to get into this, I just don't I could devote the time to it. my wee bro plays religiously. On a side note, he has an iphone, and for his blizzard account security, his password randomly changes via his phone every 30 seconds so its near impossible to be hacked. Genius idea.

Jondaken Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 You'd have to be quite the mong to allow your account to be hacked. Just don't click on "sex leg" links, "The Ret" links, or "just wonderfull" links. The game has went to shit now unles you're a die hard fan of Arena. They even managed to remove twinking! Gits.

briggaman Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 The game has went to shit now unles you're a die hard fan of Arena. This is only true for 3v3 and 5v5 now too. You would have to absolutely love 2v2 to even bother with it when the new season comes as you can't get the rewards that you can from 3v3 and 5v5. Such a stupid idea....

Some random Nayson quotes from there: Im not installing it until later, i know if i do, then ill be playing all day, and i have plans to go down the pub and get pished instead. Don't think I've heard him say that for a while! holy shit! Ive been playing for four and a half hours? Now substitute in the word "years"! Ive read up on no end of complaints about arseholes just killing you, then camping on your corpse until you respawn, then just killing you again. That would really piss me off if that happened.

ED Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 World of Warcraft: Cataclysm World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is the next expansion for World of Warcraft. Dark and forgotten threats that have long stayed out of sight have finally arrived on our shores, unleashing a cataclysmic event upon Azeroth and now preparing more nefarius plans to take it back. Level Cap The level cap in the next expansion will be slightly lower than expected this time around; 85. This suggests Blizzard wants more room for expansions before hitting the level 100 cap. With less leveling to do (along with the revamped leveling listed below likely to increase the speed and ease of leveling), leveling a new race remains appealing for new and existing players alike. Leveling from 80-85 should be a much bigger deal, the idea is to make sure that gaining a level really means something and doesn't make you feel like you just have 4 more levels to go. New Classes Cataclysm doesn't introduce any new classes to the game. Instead, Blizzard have offered more race and classes combinations to players. The Some of these have alreadly been datamined from the 3.2.2 Test Realms. The An Injured Colleague quest and it's new Night Elf counter-part help to introduce the lore for these new race and class combinations, so we can probably expect to see more of these for some of the less traditional ones. * Human Hunter * Orc Mage * Night Elf Mage * Dwarf Mage * Blood Elf Warrior * Dwarf Shaman * Undead Hunter * Tauren Paladin * Tauren Priest * Gnome Priest * Troll Druid New Races The events of the cataclysm has caused two new races to seek new allies. The Goblins for the Horde and the Worgen for the Alliance. Goblins Deathwing once again sought the services of the goblines of the goblins, as slaves. Unable to refuse such an offer, the goblins were enslaved by him. A large group have resisted however. With their previous homes devastated by the cataclysm, they escaping to an island off the coast of The Barrens. As they strive to recover, they come across an Orc captured on an Alliance ship and rescue him. The Orc turns out to be none other than Thrall himself, and in return offers the Goblins a place within the Horde. These events are carried out in a quest line, allowing players to experience first-hand the reasons behind the Goblins' shift from neutrality. Worgen The cataclysm has cracked open the Greymane Wall, finally revealing what has happened to the kingdom of Gilneas and its citizens. With the Worgen curse taken hold, they have found a partial cure, allowing thme to retain their Human minds even when transformed. Venturing forth from Gilneas and seeking help from the Alliance, they have decided to join them, to combat the new threats of Cataclysm. Gilneas will make extensive use of the phasing system (much like the Death Knight starting area), to show what happened while the kingdom was cut off from the rest of the world and lead up to present day. Worgens will have two forms, a Worgen form and a Human form. Players will be able to customise the look of both forms. New Content Cataclysm will be the first expansion not to introduce a new continent, instead making use of previously unreleased zones and revamping existing ones. Classic Azeroth Revamp A cataclysmic event caused by Deathwing and Azshara will change the face of Azeroth as we know it. Most of the new content for Cataclysm will take the form of a revamped Azeroth, taking advantage of newer additions to WoW such as phasing and daily quests. Most of the quests and mobs in the classic zones will also be redesigned to make leveling less painful. With the revamp, a greater narritive and sense progression will be offered to players. Some zones and dungeons will change drastically to fit this, e.g., * The Barrens will be split into two separate zones of two different level bands. * Azshara will become a low level (~10-20) zone. * Some of the zones like the Thousand Needles will be flooded. * Durotar is wrecked and apparently Orgrimmar could be destroyed. A new Orc city is rebuilt over the course of the expansion. * Gnomeregan will be part of the expansion as well and gnomes might be able to reclaim their capital. (The last part is still unconfirmed) * Wailing Caverns will be become a lush tropical area as a result of the druid's magic. * The Blackrock Spire will erupt and a new version of Blackrock Mountains will be available, apparently Ragnaros will be back too. In the aftermath of the cataclysm, and the new conflicts on the horizon relief efforts can be found in many zones and new open PvP areas similar to Lake Wintergrasp. Flying in Azeroth Part of the redesign of the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor is the introduction of flying to the two continents, allowing access to many new areas and quicker travelling across the large continents. Classic Dungeon Revamp Redesigning Onyxia's Lair in Patch 3.2.2 was just the first step. As most of the leveling will take place in revamped areas of Azeroth, so too will the dungeons, allowing players to use them to level from 80 to 85. Unreleased Zones & Dungeons With the addition of flying mounts to Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms and the redesign of many zones, most of the previously unreachable or incomplete zones will now be made available to players. This is where most of the new content from 80 to 85 will take place. Some of these are, * Hyjal (present) * Gilneas - The Worgen starting Zone. * Uldum It is unclear if the old Goblin locations such as Kezan and Undermine will be included in Cataclyms with the revelation of the goblins' plight, but several new islands have also been risen from the seas by the events of Cataclysm, some on the backs of giant sea turtles and whales, with the addition of several underwater zones. Characters and Events Deathwing Deathwing the Destroyer / Neltharion the Earth-Warder will play a major role in Cataclysm. Having been driven mad by Old God whisperings and turning against his own kind only to be fail in his attempts, Deathwing has sunk into the shadows. While the Horde and the Alliance were busy fighting back the Burning Legion only to then be beset with the Scourge, he has been lurking and moving things into place. After Lady Sinestra's failed attempts to create a Twilight Dragonflight, he again retreated to Grim Batol and succeeded where she failed. With his results seen in the Obsidian Sanctum, he has finally created the supreme Dragonflight he sought and plans to unleash it upon the world. But what of the Old Gods' sway over him? Azshara Queen Azshara will also play a major part in Cataclysm. Unknown to many mortal races, long forgotten by others, and believe to be dead by her own kind, she has not been dormant in depths of the Maelstrom. Having those around her transformed by the Old Gods into Naga after her failure in the War of the Ancients, she has become far more powerful and a greater threat than she once was. Not content with just Nazjatar and the depths of the sea, Azshara seeks to reclaim power and reign once again. With the true plan behind Lady Vashj's support of Illidan remaining a mystery we do not know what hand Azshara has yet played. The big question remains, is she now serving her "saviors", the Old Gods? The Cataclysm I'm still not sure who is the true end boss of Cataclysm is, but the cataclysm appears to have been caused by attempts to incantation to summon extremely powerful beings using an ancient incantation by Deathwing and Azshara. They're both very powerful, but the cataclysm itself suggests something more powerful is behind it, perhaps their shared past of Old God influence? The Guardian of Tirisfal Malfurion Stormrage will be returning to Azeroth to aid in the creation of the new Guardian of Tirisfal - Thrall! Med'an's role in these events is currently unknown. The New (New) Horde Thrall will hand over the leadership of the Horde to Garrosh Hellscream, while he serves as a coordinator for both the Horde and Alliance forces in and effort to combat the new threat of the Naga and Black Dragonflight. Without Thrall to keep Garrosh in check, he declares open war on the Alliance. In the political upheaval Cairne Bloodhoof is implicated as a traitor to the Horde and murdered by Garrosh. Cairne's son Baine takes over as the new Tauren chieftan. This could explain why Baine was removed from the game in Patch 3.2.2, you can find more information about this in Ahmo Thunderhorn - replacement for Baine Bloodhoof? Flying mounts in Kalimdor? Tauren Preists? Surely not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Surely that's a load of rubbish? Blizz have the rights to that name (Cataclysm) and everyone is presuming that it is for the expansion. Yet Blizz haven't given any official word as far as I know. Worgen race? Some of those ideas do sound quite good to be honest, which gives me further reason to think it isn't true.
