Cataclysm Beta - Build 12759
A new build is being deployed on beta realms, just like any beta build, it will be painful, a lot of stuff will break, and I have no idea if I'll be able to give you all the content on the first day.

On the upside, Thrall is getting a new model. Stay tuned for changes!


Nemesis in Hyjal looks really nice too.


Guild Vendor Rewards
The Guild Vendor is here, a lot of items are placeholders but it should give you a pretty good idea of what it will offer.


And if you're wondering.



Loading Screens
Loading screens for each continent have been updated.




Spellbook - Mounts and Companion Pets
The Mounts & Companion Pets are now in the spellbook with a brand new interface.



Tol Barad
Tol Barad is open for testing, this is a new outdoor/PvP zone with a daily quest area for the faction controlling it. More on that later.





310% Speed Flying Mount
The new 310% Speed Flying Mount skill costs 5000 gold to train. People who already own a 310% flying mount get it for free.



Relic Slots Items
All classes items in the relic slot now have stats.



Masteries and Armor Specialization
Masteries and Armor Specializations are now available for testing.



Holy Power
The interface for the new Holy Power resource is here.



Video Settings
The Video Settings menu has been expanded, looks like we'll be able to tweak more things in Cataclysm.



Creature Damage Output Changes

We’d like to get your feedback about how combat feels with creatures in level 80-85 exterior zones, including spawn rates and numbers of creatures in specific locations in each zone. Please let us know if this feels adequately challenging, or if there is a little too much face rocking going on.

    Thralls model is cool but his old face looks better than this.

    310% Speed Flying Mount
    The new 310% Speed Flying Mount skill costs 5000 gold to train. People who already own a 310% flying mount get it for free.

    Does this actually mean if you already own a 310% speed flying mount that every other flying mount ive got will fly at 310% too?
    Except the 150% ones?

    what if ppl only have 280% speed? does that mean they have to purchase this 1 to fly with 310% speed? if so then thats kinda wierd:/

    Crap, I guess in time, the Phoenix will be the new Celestial steed.

    Tol'Barad was... Kinda boring and bad. I really hope they will give the interiors to those Spires, and make those tank's Siege Mode manually controlled...

    I think that farseer is a sort of high-shaman so a farseer is a shaman as well, just an extra good and experienced one. So I think its safe to say that Thrall is a shaman, but not just any shaman.

    Yes, if you have bought the 310% skill for 5k gold (or gained from already having one or more 310% mounts) all your 280% will fly @ 310% speed.

    Nemesis looks cool but do the new heirloom items really be free to take?....

    ARGH so it was the paladin testing that stole my name!

    Thrall is wearing jesus mandals and the new holy power interface looks pretty crappy imo it looks like it should be in a final fantasy game.
  1. MadBlue's Avatar
    I like Thrall's model for Cataclysm. He looked more bad-ass before, but as someone who has given up worldly power to pursue a more spiritual path, the new model is fitting for him.

    whats with all the chains all over Thrall? other than that he looks pretty cool

    They are free to take in the beta, so they can be tested. I'm pretty sure that'll change before it is shipped.
