Cory Stockton Interview, Challenge Mode Gear, Cross-Realm Zones, Midnight Launch

I really do hope they add the new character creation preview armor to the game. Some of them are gorgeous. I would love to get my hands on the Priest set!

Am I blind or does the lock set have no procs at all while casting? :/ That's kinda lame..

It's badly implemented, and instead of helping low populated servers, it hurts them a lot, less mats for the AH, still not enough people to pug raids with and so on.

All of it is just an illusion that there's more people around.

All in all it does not have any potential other than annoyance and maybe some World PvP.

I agree, but I guess they thought it'd be too visually busy with all their soul-shards and stuff going on already.

My heart sinks when interviews are full of "We might do this..." "We might do that..." "If we find time..." etc etc etc.

It's the same old story. Features that would be fantastic in the game but the developers seem to have no time or motivation to implement them.

Changes to transmog!! Awesome.. but how long has that feature been in the game now?! And they're still thinking about opening it up? It's like the player base expresses a desire to see a particular feature and it takes them two or three years to implement it.

I mean this sums it up for me:

"We had an awesome response to Scholomance and Scarlet Monastery, but we have only done four of them in the five years since we introduced that concept"

For a company that makes so much money from our subscriptions they sure do seem to have a very limited pool of resources. Maybe i'm being unfairly harsh.

What I think would be epic and like to see happen:

Horde-side player characters assist in an inside plot to assassinate Garrosh, which ultimately fails but utterly unhinges him to the point where sha energy starts affecting him - just like the von Stauffenberg plot against Hitler in 1944.

Not sure how an equally epic Alliance-side quest chain could play out. Maybe something to drive a wedge between the Garrosh loyalists and the Thrall/Dezco loyalists?

It's there but it's extremely subtle. If you watch the casting animation, the skulls on the shoulders and the three "vents" on the top of the head emit a green gas.

EDIT: actually make that "skull" singular, appears to be a skull only on one side.

well atleast we shouldn't have to worry about server instability on launch since if the servers are stable before midnight then they will be a stable at midnight then pandaria opens up.

**kerghan** · 2012-09-22, 12:24 PM

Warlock armor.... YOU ARE NOT PREPARED.
... there, I said it.

Most of them are just updated Dungeon Set 1 or a random old tier. Paladin and Hunter seems to be the only unique ones. That said, they still look cool'ish.

**Megalithic** · 2012-09-22, 12:28 PM

Patch 4.3 was "gigantic"? Was there a lot of content that I missed? All I saw was a small raid with a lot of rehashed environments (and poorly done environments, such as the graphics of the sky around the gunship), and three short dungeons that you breeze through. Just about every patch in WotLK was bigger than 4.3. Doesn't sound too promising for MoP if they think 4.3 had too much content for a normal patch.

A raid, the addition of the LFR, 3 instances, transmogrification and a lot of bug fixes - yeah 4.3 was gigantic. Get it right.

whats wrong with warlock shoulders? i hope its a bug and going to be fixed, i aint going to write /rawr in my macro's for me to enjoy this

The Horns and Shoulders light up with a green aura when casting.

**Diggasson** · 2012-09-22, 01:38 PM

Only 3 more days!!! I am so excited!

OnT: The warlock shoulders are glowing green while you cast. (Really? The badass Illidan theme wasnt enough for you guys?)

Paladin set is based on the level 60 Alliance PVP set, but with the Alliance theme toned down and the colors more muted (instead of gold on gold with gold trim).

**Ijoemomma** · 2012-09-22, 02:45 PM

I'm curious about the "ton of content that people didn't see in beta"
I wonder what we didn't see

**doxas** · 2012-09-22, 03:04 PM

[QUOTE=Magemaer;18518736]both warlock and warrior sets are freakling awesome...but i'd like to see those warlocks wings while dpsing, not only while doing /roar[COLOR="red"]

It's the malefic set in green. That put out the wings irregulary when you were standing in the cty or elsewhere. Inguess they reskinned it because they think we locks like greeeeen.

It's not an illusion it's an awesome feature to the game. The reason you will see less mats in AH because there will be less boters because they will get ganked which is a good thing. AH is suppose to be something optional to help you out you are not suppose to find everything you need in AH or else ppl will never even bother to farm stuff. People desperatly wanted a world pvp for a long time and with that feature it's a great welcome back to be honest.

Really? Huh, never really saw the resemblance. Probably the lack of eagles and stuff.
