Taiwan Realms now get Raid Resets twice a week

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)

    The mount seems pretty cool. The DK tier? It makes me glad my DK isn't my main.

    The DK set looks a bit like a reskinned Season 11 Hunter/Warrior mix set.

    The Dragon mount is the Mount Drop from Deathwing i'd bet. Makes sence, since his son made them, and he has a Perfected one lying around.Kinda Fitting

Once you have acquired 30 stacks of Shadows of the Destoyer, each stack gained grants an increasing chance to trigger Fury of the Destroyer and cancel all stacks of Shadows of the Destroyer. Fury of the Destroyer immediately grants 5 combo points and causes your finishing moves to grant 5 combo points. Lasts 6 sec.Item - Dragon Soul Legendary Daggers Your melee attacks have a chance to grant Nightmare, increasing your Agility by 5, stacking up to 50 times.Item - Dragon Soul Legendary Daggers Your melee attacks have a chance to grant Suffering, increasing your Agility by 2, stacking up to 50 times.

    Heart of the Aspects is most likely the Chomatic Drake mount.
    I figured that Experiment 12-B was the Chromatic Drake seeing as all Chromatic drakes were originally created by the Nef in experiments and had nothing to do with the titans.

    For those of you bitching about the lock outs... they are testing it to see if it will do some good for people who can get a second chance to raid and increase raid progression. People who complain about the SMALLEST things like a raid lockout really need to either get a life or just stop coming to MMO in general so you can lessen the amount of QQ here. Thank you and good night.

    That armored mount would have been a better gladiator mount then the ones we have now.

    While this seems pretty awesome, it's still basically saying that if we as Elemental shamans want to be viable DPS we will still need to retain 2 pieces of our tier 12. Why not just make the Ele T12 bonus a baseline talent if you're going to try and make balances based around a set piece?

    Those legendary set bonuses look imba. 5 combo points from finishing moves for 6 seconds Though I haven't played rogue since vanilla so not sure how massive it really is.

    The chromatic dragon is a new skeleton which is refreshing. If you watch the video of its animation, its VERY clear that it follows the animation of typical Chinese dragons. I think the base skeleton is going to get a lot of use in MoP.

    A real dragon wouldn't undulate its head like that while flying.

    Because the model is called Chromatic Dragon.

    However this is obviously a new type of Chromatic Dragon unlike any we've seen before. The golden color reminds me of the Dragon Soul and how the Aspects power appeared when they united against Deathwing. This is some sort of harmonious fusion of the Dragonflight's powers.

    It's Captain Planet versus the older ones Frankenstein's monster. But they're still both technically Chromatics that combine the traits of all of the Flights, the manner in which they combine them is very different however.

    Exactly. I just want to be able to run 10 and 25 in the same week. Twice a week resets is a bad idea.

    Seriously how many more buffs do they want to put on ret if that actually is one and not just some kind of tooltip fix datamining fail?
    Actually that dragon doesn't look too bad nice. That dk helm looks quite hilarious though.

    So then, DK tier 13 has Isaac Clark's face as kneecaps?

    Why buff Arcane when they should be buffing the specs that are doing the worst in raids?
