Taiwan Realms now get Raid Resets twice a week

The new raid lockout changes for Taiwan and Korea adjust the lockout timers for the patch 4.0 and 4.2 raids. The lockout timers for these raids will now reset twice weekly instead of once. These raid lockout changes are being made to allow players to raid more often and get more chances at epic loot drops. Players will be able to down current Cataclysm raid bosses twice a week, accelerating players’ progression.

We are testing these new raid lockout changes in Taiwan and Korea first. Our goal is to expand this change to other regions in the future, but we don’t have anything further to announce at this time with regard to North American implementation.

Yep. Seriously. Like, seriously dude. This is a Model Viewer render, I will update those screenshots if necessary when I fixed my tools and give you a render closer to the one you could get in-game. (But those might be just fine)



New Models - Chromatic Dragon and Chromatic Dragon Mount

To a pretty casual player like me, removing separate 10/25 man raid lockouts was by far the most god-damned awful thing they did, and i'm glad they're essentially bringing them back again like this.

    Yeah not feeling DK T13... massive dissapointment.

    Although Experiment 12-B and Blazing Drake sounds nice!
    I assume soul of the aspects is a companion chromatic drake and the heart is the mount.

    Nice to see a couple classes getting boosts but then my main spec gets nerfed. Fail holy paladin

    Man, nobody is ever happy with what Blizzard does. These people work their asses off and all I hear is "Send the DK T13 back", "YOU GET A TITLE IN REG TOO WTF MAN". I mean christ, I'd like to see any of you turbo nerds do half the shit the people at Blizz do.

    I'm assuming that mount will be similar to Invincible and will be a loot drop from Madness of Deathwing, wondering if they will make it a guaranteed one, as I believe that Blizzard will be subjected to a flooding QQ the moment they announce a guaranteed drop-rate for the same mount from both compositions(10 and 25), but seeing it being another 1% drop similar to how Al'ar would be is definitely not nice, as the component of the game I have despised the most is that it favors the lucky over the ones who "worked hard"...

    That mount is the sweetest thing I've seen in a long time!

    That has to be one of the most beautiful dragon mounts I've ever seen.

    They're testing the change for Tai and Kor servers right now.

    It's coming to the rest of us soon...or are you really that dense?

    pretty disappointed with DK Tier 13 looks like hunter pvp armor, the chromatic dragon without the armor looks awesome

    People that are in guilds to raid "competitively" shouldn't whine about possibly having to raid twice a week. If they are whining, they are not really a progression person and should look at other end game activities such as the pokemon stuff they're adding. I do understand it would take a lot more time out of someone's week for this, but being progression or competitive means just that. I seriously doubt any but the most high end guilds will require people to run twice a week anyway. It's not like just because they add this, it suddenly means the GM of your guild ignores all real life needs of the guild's members.

    With that said, I am definitely not a super raider -- heck, I haven't even set foot inside of Firelands yet -- but I know my way around and do not stand in fire. I would be very content if they just had the raid finder raids reset twice a week. That would allow me to run my alts through, get gear, and allow me to mess around in the new content without having to worry about linking some achievement I got 2 years ago on a different server just to get an invite to a raid that is only going to kill the first two bosses.

    Ok, the DK set is really not doing it for me. Maybe it will look better ingame, but right now the helm really bugs me. I think it's the hint of a mustache. Rather than looking menacing, it looks too much like a cartoon stormcloud face:http://www.corbisimages.com/stock-ph...trong-windjust with a skull on top.Thank goodness for Transmogrification.

    It makes me a sad old panda to see such a blatant reference to pop culture get completely missed by you whipper snappers.•Eclipse now only requires 10 Sparks, down from ... well, 8,675,309.867-5309 happens to be the most famous telephone number in the history of phone numbers. Damnit, I can't get that song out of my head now....

    Even that way, go raid with your alt if you have that much free time. But don't ask to f%¨& others.
    Blizzard wants people to stay on their game and have something to do fyi. If you don't wish to raid extra longer then don't? No one is forcing you to. People are BORED. When people get bored they QUIT playing. Notice the lack of subs? Sorry if you don't have enough time somehow to clear Firelands twice a week, but many many many people do and wish they could. (At least in normal)

    You shouldn't cry because you can't do something others can or you don't want to do it. I wouldn't normally be for this if raids weren't extremely short now, but they are. And you might think they should just quit playing and 'go outside', but that's not what Blizzard wants. They need to do something to keep people playing and this could be it. The drop in subs is only going to continue judging by the pattern we've seen, unless something is done.

    True, but if they're putting it there you can bet if people like it they'll put it elsewhere too. And I think it's a good thing. Like Alenarien said, most people spend the majority of their time in game just sitting in town now. Heck even Blizzard acknowledged that at Blizzcon. This would keep people active and doing things which is a good thing.
