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.

    Thrall kind of put me off for a minute, but now that I look at it, he looks all grizzled and wise and awesome. I hope the way the hair is hanging is still on the to-do list, but other than that I'd definitely fight for this guy.
    Well said. I agree with you 100%

    It's a shame his model looks like he fell off the short bus.

    Thrall looks awesome! Now, if they would just update all of the races with these higher-res textures...

    Ugh. I thought I hated the Garrosh redesign. Thrall looks like utter crap. Looks nothing like the old Thrall. I do like the new loading screens though.

    I wanna use Sigil of The Hanged Man on my Paladin to DPS.

    Just to fuck with lore.


    EDIT: DAMN! There still class specific

    Thrall's model does look awesome, but it reminds me too much of Gul'Dan. Maybe it's just me =/

    Loading screens are real nice too.

Thrall looks like a goddamn Broken, and Sylvanas has... supple lips, I'll leave it at that.

    This expansion is really making me torn over whether to quit or stay.
    Quitting over loading screens? Are you the short bus driver?

    the relics are just flat stats now?

    I just rather have the current relics, the new ones are just boring imo.

    I want the old relics back :[
