Titles, Season 8 Weapon, Blue posts

[Boubouille]

Reminder - The next WoW Tournament of the MLG PC Circuit will take place in Anaheim, California from November 6 to 8! You can buy your spectator passes to attend the event. Of course the tournament will be streamed here as well.

Patch 3.3 - Build 10596 Titles
A lot of people were disappointed by the lack of new titles in Patch 3.3, especially with the 10-Man and 25-Man version of the achievement to kill Arthas sharing the same title reward on PTRs. Good news, this is most likely a bug.

In the latest PTR Build, 4 titles were added to the game:

• %s the Light of Dawn - Reward of Realm First! Light of Dawn!
• %s the Frost Ender - Reward of The Frost Ender (10-Man)
• %s the Kingslayer - Reward of The Kingslayer (25-Man)
• %s of the Ashen Verdict - Unknown yet, but most likely rewarded when you hit Exalted with The Ashen Verdict

Season 8 Weapon Models Preview
I spent so much time discussing Icecrown in the past 2 weeks that I almost forgot to mention PvP content. Just like any major patch, this one will introduce a new arena season and of course new weapon models (hurray, shields!). Armor sets arent available yet and we'll have to wait a later PTR build to get a look at them.

A Mask For All Occasions
Since getting all of the masks is just another achievement and not something required for the meta-achievement, we are okay with this remaining as-is. Yes, it may take a couple years of doing the Hallow's End events to get it done but that just puts it along side things like Bloody Rare and Frostbitten. (Source)

Race Changes ETA
We're still working on it. We want to make sure the conversions are as smooth as possible and the infrastructure will support such changes, as is the case with the faction change service. Contrary to the original poster's claims, the conversion tables for changing races within one's own faction are completely different from the faction change service. This requires separate development time. We're also busy ensuring our Battle.net account service is fully fleshed out to support the entirety of the World of Warcraft population as well as these paid services.

The only thing better than offering a service people want is making sure that service works when people want it. (Source)

Really nice weapon models out there, I like them.

I also like the titles, especially being different in 10 man and 25 man.

No engineering patterns from the ashen verdict.

Nice to see some updated throwing art though:

Lots of spikes on all the models. Good.

[Misortie]

[Kalx]

[kildal]

(it's from the last picture of the dagger models)

I don't see your point, why would there be? It's Ashtongue Deathsworn faction all over again (shadow res pieces for BT)

There are BS, LW and Tailor formulas, think it was already mentioned that they are nature res pieces for some gimmick fights (for the crazy prof and the abos, most likely, or maybe for the vampires)

It'll probably be frost resistance.
But still, it'd not hurt to have an extra flavor alchemy / engineering pattern in the mix.

Vault of Archavon
Toravon the Ice Watcher (10 player) - Defeat Toravon the Ice Watcher in 10 player mode.
Toravon the Ice Watcher (25 player) - Defeat Toravon the Ice Watcher in 25 player mode.

I wonder whether we'll see that much debated elevator.

The PvP 2H sword finally looks cool.

Fish-Blade FTFL.

[ayalafatalis]

'the Frost Ender'?

lol

The Ashen Verdict
"Under a pact by Tirion Fordring and Darion Mograine, the Argent Crusade and the Knights of the Ebon Blade have set aside their differences during the attack on Icecrown Citadel until the Lich King is slain."

Differences? What differences? Afaik, Ebon Blade is more friendly to them than alliance/horde.

[Olderonous]

woah, nice shield

this

[Spray]

i really miss the times when daggers were actually daggers, not 1h swords, and when 1h swords look like 1h swords not 2h.. since bc, process of enlarging both types of weapons is evolving quicker and quicker..

why the 2h maces are so small?:< i miss really big bonegrinders...

[Sanguissa]

Kingslayer. Thats one of most awesome title i ever heard.. And if i dont get it, iam looking forward to queenslayer for killing azshara

go sit next to darion chatting in the argent camp in icecrown. they may be friendly toward each other, but they have very different ideas on how to fight arthas.

[Sin3671]

those shield look bad ass makes me want to reroll so i can use one

[pangeltveit]

What about the non pvp weapons than?

[Herecius]

Holy SHIT @ that gun model. That's the most dangerous damn thing I've ever seen, with or without bullets.
