#BlizzChat Developer Chat on Twitter 2/26

[UraRenge]

get rid of Mongoose Bite?

But it's actually useful when I'm forced into melee! Not to mention that it works even when disarmed.

[frozenpatato]

I'm more excited about Cataclysm now :-X

[Nabuza]

i lol`d at the dude who asked for a resiliense enchant... there alrdy is such a enchant :P

probably referring to a enchanters only enchant like say to rings.

[Kaneiac]

I don't understand the moose question in misc, can someone enlighten me please

At the last Twitter Dev. chat, one of the Developers made a joke about a moose mount.

[Teestala]

Blasted Lands getting overhauled?
Female Worgen model done?
Theyre actually gonna post some new cata shit soon?

finally it only took forever.

[Mihir]

In other news, Method now only needs to kill Putricide25HC to get world first glory of the icecrown raider (25 player)

[DarkZero]

Q. Will Ghostcrawler duel me for a large cash prize?
A. You are not ready.

is no one else laughing at this?

I am. A lot. Too much actually.

[Chin Music]

I was glad to hear a lot of these answers.

I like that they are planning for multiple, smaller raids in Cataclysm instead of one massive raid tiered after the previous one, hopefully that will let them smooth out endgame progression a bit more and get some more variety in terms of style.

Like that the older races starting zones are getting a rework and that this retaking thing coming in 3.3.3 is going to lead to starting zones for gnomes and trolls.

The Western Plaguelands thing has me slightly intrigued, since typically how chronology works in WoW is that the story has only progressed as far as your character has seen. It would be strange to quest in WPL at say, level 55 and everyone is all "yay, Arthas is dead! We're free!", then when you get to level 70 and head to Northrend suddenly he's the biggest threat on the planet again.

The submarine things sound really awesome. I liked the Icecrown gunships a lot because it really gave the impression of a quest hub that moved.

Hopefully they can figure out a way for world bosses to return. To me, it wasn't even the fact that they were just things to fight except in the world. The way they patrol their zones and maybe even incite large scale conflict between the factions is what interests me. IMO they should just have more Fel Reaver/Devilsaur style NPCs if they aren't going to do World Bosses.

If they are concerned with World Bosses favouring those who are online a lot, there are things I think they could do about that. For example, you might have like 5 world bosses, but only 1, picked randomly, will spawn at a time and at non-specific intervals, so that they effectively could not be farmed or camped. Or once a world boss has been defeated, any player who participated in killing it receives a however long debuff that increases the damage done by that particular boss by a ridiculous amount making any further attempt to try that boss again until the debuff wears off futile.

I was surprised to see some decent new info on this chat. I see they finally confirmed that Shimmering Flats is getting flooded (or, rather, re-flooded).

[Pumps]

"We would like to do... in zone"

So they haven't even started on some (all?) zones.

Yeah right, this is going to be December 2011 before those slackers are done.

[Pumps]

Thats how I understood it. I think they are really considerign about giving gnomes and trolls new zones.

That's not how I understood it. I understood it as they are going to do some redecorating on the existing land areas.

[Pumps]

ZOMG. They learned! Yes! Finally some proper mass PvP.

Lets hope they learned not to force people to pvp when they are just there to mine...

[Thorzon157]

When it rains, it pours. Gotta love Blizz on how it gives out news. ;D

[Second]

for those searching for answer about moose (and not being able to view that hula thing) :

Q. Where is my moose? Did you see that Ghostcrawler?
A. That was so epic. I was sure the screenshot was shopped until we saw the actual video. I guess we're going to have to do a moose now...

http://www.wow.com/2010/01/15/develo...-organized-by/

Q. Can we expect a Canadian style pet for the Olympics this year?
A. I will put in a request today for an epic moose mount, not sure if it will make it in though.

Paladin
Q. Is there any info you can share on future plans for holy paladins?
A. I hear they need more healing spells.

^this
Yes please more healing spells ;D

[Pumps]

Do people even bother readin what others are saying?

???

If people wait too long to post they get:

"Session verification failed. Please try logging out and back in again, and then try again. "

So a lot of them just respond to what is on the first page.

Sounds very good ;D

[stupid11]

From another website's transcript. Looks like Boub missed it.

Q. When will we get new info and updates on Cataclysm?

A. Soon, but not too soon. Ragnaros would be pissed.

So is this basically saying we are going back to MC?

Uh, l2read Cata news. They announced that we will be fighting a fully powered up Ragnaros in the Fire Ele plane wayyyyyy back at Blizzcon.

Ragnaros will be one of the T11 bosses, one of the first in Cata.

At 100% HP of course, not 10%.

[Armlock]

Best part of Moonkin is looking dumb imo... And their dance.

You are incorrect. They announced that Ragnaros and his minions would be trying to burn down the World Tree in Hyjal.

SECONDED!

So hoping for badass worgen caster forms so I can racechange away from "comedy forms".

Moonkin Form will still be moonkin, regardless of which race you play, though they have said they plan to revamp the looks for all druid forms eventually.

Western Plaguelands is going to be a 30-40 zone in Cataclysm, and EPL is going to be 40-50. I'm not sure how they'll fit everything together with you heading to Northrend at level 68, but they'll probably have quest dialogue to explain everything.
