Firelands Daily Area Preview, Blizzard Anniversary Video, MMO Report, Comics

Man... that DLC comic was just pure awesome. I can't believe 5 years have passed since DLC was first launched. Damn.

PS: Firelands - the place where Malfurion will fight tight-leg Ragnaros, i.e. FLOWAH POWAH vs. FIREH POWAH! Huzzah!

The video was nice, I like how they try to sell the story how warcraft and starcraft came to be without even mentioning Games Workshop within a single line. The whole world knows where Blizzard "inspiration" comes from, yet they still try to sell me that they came up with the zerg and protos .... laughter.

I hope that we get some acompany vs. Ragnaros which will give us a buff reducing fire damage taken by 90%
Will feel like its more off a challenge if we cant make it without that buff due to any1 getting one shot without it, but with it we would stand a chance o:
Would make the whole thing feel more challenging, even if they had exact same mechanics with and without it

So these quests, what are we going to be grinding towards this time? :P

Neat retrospective but the timeline at the start has an inaccuracy and an omission. D2 is listed as being released in 1997 when it was in fact released in 2000. Starcraft is not shown there and it was released in 1997. They did get the expansion on there though.

All of the above.

New questing zone? For us to gain 5 more level????

Gotta say "firelands" is a very original name

This zone looks boring and awful.

Charlie Sheen is such a badass, just sayin'.

I guess you don't know how to read:

dis look liek 'blivionz

The Molten Flow, eh? My wife has that every month. Her aggro radius increases during this 'period.' Neither stealth nor invisibility nor logging off will prevent pulling her. She opens with 'grouchy nag' for which there is no defense. I'm critted by 'snide remark' and 'irrational bitching'. My defenses sundered, I wipe emotionally only to be rezzed and ganked by the beast time and again. If this is a daily, youre all better men than I.

I wonder if this might lead to possibly the Firelands raid actually being in a building rather than an outdoor area with a castle at the end of it. I would sure hope so, to be honest. Traveling deep into the molten bowels of Sulfuron Keep seems like it would be more enjoyable than running around a cut-off portion of the new questing area.

/sarcasm

Actually we're not getting the zone yet either. That will also come with the raid in 4.2. 4.1 will include the revamped ZG & ZA, etc, etc.

Sorry, I meant to tie the new zone and raids in together :P

I hope this is the case. I was always a bit sad if they just made a Firelands raid, since the name it self suggests a plane where there should be much more going on. If it almost becomes almost like a zone "over there" - then that would be most excellent.

Mag MA! Great work guys!

On a side note, anyone heard about Loffles? I'm trying to get into the beta. can ya help me out?

Shut up idiots, go watch the weekly marmot..then dont post..because you wont have to..because you'll understand everything that is going on...
