T9 in 3.2...

[Jathro]

With T9(9.5) being available in 3.2, what are we gonna see in 3.3? It goes against the norm for there to be 4 tiers of gear in the same group of content, but is it possible?

[Deleted]

Well if Tier9 is the last fashion line of WotLK I'll kill myself. God those armors look so bad.

Icecrown Citadel and Tier 10

[Blightyboy]

I believe we're probably looking at 3 tiers of gear in 3.2, rather than 4. 10-man Heroic and 25-man Normal seem likely to share gear, seeing as there are only 3 tier set levels.

[Metian]

A new sort of gear.. instead of T10 ?.. Dunno but probably it would be T10

[Pheonixis]

What says it's against the norm? Sure, Blizz released 3 'official' tiers in the earlier games, but I'd say a 4th tier isn't that off. Remember that there were at least 3 non-tier sets that were still epic and on par of the rest of the gear in vanilla, and that Blizz released gear after T6 that was "officially" T6, yet on a whole different level.

[imabanana]

isnt it t9 t9.5 and t9.75 (since there are 3 of them (?))

No, it's t9, t9.333.. and t9.666.. and icecrown will be t9.999...

...

sorry.

[Saakie]

Just to ask...
Will there be any new release of WoW?

I mean, will there be any level 90? If so, I guess I missed that ;s

Well, everyone is assuming that Icecrown will be in 3.3, but Blizzard said they wanted Arthas to be the very last boss of the expansion, as Kil'jaeden was in TBC. Is TBC is anything to go by, 3.3 wasn't the last raid content patch, 3.4 was.

It could be possible we will see another raid after 3.2, perhaps a Gun'drak style raid, or even see Jotunheim be made into a raid instance, as a filler raid for the Icecrown one.

You also forget that 2.2 was a non-instance patch.
2.1 - BT
2.2 - Voice Chat
2.3 - ZA
2.4 - MgT/SWP.

So going by TBC, IC would be the third AND last raid.

No, I remembered that, what equals out is that TBC had 16 (17 with MgT) dungeons and 8 raids (9 with SWP), where as WotLK has 12 (13 with the new AT one) dungeons and 5 raids (7 with the Colisseum and ICC), although that is counting the pathetic raid that is VoA.

Sure, you could argue that Ulduar has more bosses than SSC/TK had but even so the amount of raiding choices and scene changes was nice between all the different raids.

Blizzard stated 3.3 is Icecrown Citadel and T 10.

However, you'll certainly know all that on Blizzcon , and we'll learn about next expansion aswell.

Not everything has to follow an exact pattern, y'know. Just cause it did in vanilla and the first xpac does not mean Wrath has to follow suit.

Well, i'm partly agreeing with you and somewhat not, vanilla had the t0.25 (which was more of a pain to complete than t1 almost ) and then moving forward to the "real" tiersets from endgame dungeons. Then as you say there was the AQ regalia set and there was the ZG sets. I almost could say that t6 also was a bit of a... well... seems Blizz just threw sunwell out there to have players keep playing until wrath release and couldn't come up with a brand new and cool tier, so they just built a bit extra to the t6, otherwise i would have thought that you would get some cool setbonuses for 6 and 8 parts of it.

are you guys seriously discussing something that can be freely decided by blizzard without fllowing any rules? seriously?

and to t9, i think it looks really badass, maybe the alliance plate-armor looks a bit silly, but its not that bad.also im okay with the armormodels, in the end youre not going to wear the full set anyways, instead youll only wear the best few slots for the setbonus and the rest will be nonset-pieces.

Well... aren't that what forums are there for? discussions and such i mean? If you don't consider it to be so you should pretty much copy/paste this and put it in every thread here

To the other thing you wrote, i think the alliance cloth looks a bit boring and overworked, strange that they managed to make it both i know, i wonder how the horde counterparts will look like tho.

[Cloudfury]

they better do a good job on T10 T9 looks rubbish :'(
