Cataclysm Prologue Part 3, New Tinkertown, Mobile Armory

Cataclysm Prologue Part 3 - We're under attack!
The 3rd part of the prologue is available for testing and things are getting very serious, capital cities are attacked by elementals every 1~2 hours! This event is pretty fun and a lot less annoying than the WotLK's zombie invasion, if you do not want to participate in the event you should stay alive without too much problem.


  • Guards will try to evacuate citizens, low level players can also use portals to leave the city before the attack.
  • You first have to deploy sandbags/barricades to help defending the city.
  • You will then have to defeat the elementals in all the districts of the city, Orgrimmar is damaged badly in the process and most of the buildings are on fire.
  • After successfully defending the cities, you will get a chance to counter attack by entering the huge portal in capital cities (or using the LFD tool) to fight mini-bosses in 4 different instances.
  • The 4 bosses are Grand Ambassador Flamelash in BRD, Crown Princess Theradras in Maraudon, Kai'ju Gahz'rilla in Zul'Farrak and Prince Sarsarun in AQ20.

New Tinkertown and the Fight for Gnomeregan
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker)
As Gnomeregan's exiles set out to reclaim their beloved capital from the treasonous Mekgineer Thermaplugg, we bring you a first look at how this wondrous techno-city will exist in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. Following the conclusion of Operation: Gnomeregan, High Tinker Mekkatorque and his people have gained a foothold just outside the city in New Tinkertown. Soon, though, they'll find that the surface is rife with a host of new perils that they couldn't have prepared for.

Resolute in reclaiming their lost capital, Gnomeregan's exiles have begun an assault against the traitorous Mekgineer Thermaplugg. Traveling from their temporary residence in Ironforge, they are led by the esteemed High Tinker Gelbin Mekkatorque, leader of the gnomes, and seek to restore Gnomeregan to its past glory. In World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, new gnome adventurers will get to experience this ongoing struggle to retake their former home firsthand, beginning their journey in the besieged upper levels of the techno-city.

In the wake of Operation: Gnomeregan, survivors of the fallout will make their way to New Tinkertown, the gnomes' foothold outside their captured city. From there they will be called into action by the high tinker himself to help protect reclaimed gnomish land from new and imminent threats. As one of the newest recruits to this cause, your mettle will be put to the test when you face perilous trials like rescuing captured gnomish demolitionists, destroying a tunnel riddled with vicious troggs, and extinguishing toxic sludge that has begun to rise from the irradiated depths of the city.

Your most important mission, however, will be to thwart the plans of Razlo Crushcog, conspirator and ally of Mekgineer Thermaplugg. Before Chill Breeze Valley can be fully resettled, Crushcog must be stopped, and only your efforts can bring that goal to fruition. Gnomish know-how and engineering will be your allies, but your greatest weapons will be your wits and the will to fight the good fight... for Gnomeregan!

In World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, you'll encounter these challenges and more in the gnomes' new starting (levels 1-5) experience. Keep a good head on your shoulders and ingenuity in your pocket, and your contributions will help secure a proper home for your fellow gnomes.



Mobile Armory Update - 3D Model Viewer
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker)
Every character profile on the Mobile Armory now has a 3D model viewer displaying that character as he or she appears in-game, including equipped items and appearance.

  • Simply touch and drag the character model to rotate it.
  • Tap the icon on the top right to switch to a full-screen mode. In this mode, you can view a selection of character animations from the menu at the bottom of the screen. Other full-screen options include selecting a background, toggling the character’s helm and tabard display, and taking a screenshot (which saves to your Camera Roll).
  • Tap the icon to the upper left of the character model to switch between viewing the 3D model and displaying character information.

Other additions in this update include:

  • A character's in-game activity (including item acquisitions, achievements, and boss kills), is now captured in an activity feed. You can display this feed by using the drop-down menu at the top of a character profile.
  • Professions (both primary and secondary) are now displayed on character profiles and are accessed by the same character profile drop-down menu.
  • At-a-glance item rarities: Item icons now have colored borders indicating their rarity.
  • iPhone OS 4.0 optimizations and enhancements.

    Halion when entering phase 3:
    "I am the light and the darkness! Cower, mortals, before the herald of Deathwing!"

    Halion on death:
    "Relish this victory, mortals, for it will be your last! This world will burn with the master's return!"

    Boub, TB and IF are also under attack *however* the quests are only in Org/SW, once Org/SW are freed you can queue for the 2 bosses of the element launching the attack. Once the second city is freed you can queue for the other two elemental bosses. You can do these bosses once per event, so wait 1-2 hours and you can kill them again. The quests related to killing them seems to be 1 time only, or perhaps the first kill of the day. My favorite is "Earth Girls Aren't So Easy" for Crown Princess Theradras.

    As far as I am aware, RS was there to clearly show the power of the Black dragon flight, so that when cata and Deathwing come out, nobody goes : "who?"

    Sure, it was a nice content filler, but it just happens to be a black dragon, when the black dragon flight had pretty much nothing to do in WotLK

    The doomsayers is considered to be part of part 3 ( ie: the attack and doomsayers is only one part )

    So wait, does this mean we don't have Gnomeregan back come Cata? Or am I missing something here?

    You have the outskirts of Gnomeregan back and lowbie gnomes will quest there. I suspect that a patch later on in Cata will return Gnomeregan fully.

    Hahahaha, Kai'ju Gahz'rilla = Epic.

    For those who don't know, Kaiju is the standard term for the japanese "giant monster franchise" that Godzilla (re Gojira) originated from, and which Gahz'rilla and Gahz'ranka are based on.

    This is shaping up to be much more awesome than previously assumed. Win.

    But scourge invasion also had a lot of fun toys; pally bubble trinket, tabards, achievements, etc, just to name a few noticable ones. Is there anything similar for this event? It would really suck if it's just gears that we will replace after 1-2 weeks

    The initial elemental assault began months ago - there have been routine incursions by elementals, eg in to Winterspring, every day

    Also am I seeing people on flying mounts? I can only assume they can't fly on them at the time since it's still the old Vanilla world?
    No you can't fly in the old world. What you can do, is mount on your flying mounts but those stay on the ground.

    Also, why does it have defense? Defense is going away with Cataclysm anyway. :S

    This stuff is intended to be released before cataclysm, I forget, is defense disappearing in the 4.0.1 patch that removes armor pen, and impliments the new talent trees?

    If not, then there is nothing wrong with an item having defense on it since that is still a currently used stat. And still has some value.

    Happens once every 2-3 days and has since either release or a very early patch. WAY before even TBC.
