World of Warcraft Cataclysm Press Tour

[Sixpac]

PotT has been praised as the big feature for advancing characters after you've hit 85. The accompanying archaelogy is now just a "fun" profession. That sounds like some of the best features have been dumped, and we're back to good ol' instance grinding. Too complex? I dunno. Maybe the true answer is: Sorry, but we're running out of time.

[Agarash]

Right, they start removing things...
Path of the Titans was one of the most interesting things about Cataclysm and they remove it...and replace it with medium glyphs, oh the fun!
Guild talents too, would have been interesting to be able to personalize the guild but no, now what we've got? Just another faction to mindlessly grind...oh the fun!
Also now Archaeology will be for cosmetic stuff...again oh the fun!
At least we still have heroic Deadmines and SFK...oh wait...
This is evolving into another "more of the same" expansion, won't be surprised by other cuts along the way till release...

[zebramints]

thanks blizz, you dangle cool shit in front of us and take it away...

[Katana Angel]

Oh wow, they just scrapped everything interesting they've presented us with so far off the the table.

I agree. Maybe they just realized that, with trying to fit all of this new stuff in, it would take them far too long to implement it all.
I'm still pretty disappointed by it, Path of the Titans sounded interesting (if not a bit confusing at first), and the Guild Leveling system, I hope, is still mostly intact, just reworked.

[alymae]

Aww c'mon, I was so interested in the progression of path of the titans

Well, at least the NDA is gone, woot for info!

[Fréyr]

Meh, so far the updates have disappointed me
Also this is my first time checking MMO-Champ looks since transfer and tbh I'd prefer the old look, however this isnt bad either :3

[Retrovirus]

I was really intrigued by the idea of spec'ing your guild and the Path of the Titans was cool too, I'm kind of disappointed by them being removed.

[Zero44556]

Wonder if this is the general NDA or just the NDA on the press tour

[Shyardik]

all but 3 of these announcements are full of disappointment.

[Cernunnos]

I guess removing the tree aspect of guild leveling isnt so bad if the talents you would spec into are just given to you each level. Which it sort of sounds like they are going to be now.

Instead of pointing points into "Reduced repair bills" at level 2, we just get "Reduced repair bills" at level 2. makes it less complicated I guess.

Reputation with guild. sounds fun.


Path of the titans while cool, kinda did seem like it was just an extra page of glyphs. combining the two and having minor medium and major glyphs seems the easier thing to do as well.

Wonder if this is the general NDA or just the NDA on the press tour

It's just the NDA for the press tour, the Alpha NDA is still in full effect.

[Solidusbr]

Did somebody said... C'thun?

[Huntaer]

nice, NDA Lifted, feed me with screenshots :O
Too bad all those things like path of the titans and guild talents will disappear -.-

[Nightsorrow]

give path of titans and guild talents back

[Pokchop]

Cool. Path of the Titans sounded lame in the first place. Not surprised it got cut.

[jacce]

Disappointed to see Path of the titans gone and not happy about archeology either. Everything else sounds good tho

[Felicia]

Looks bad ass to me! <3

>Grim Batol Raid
>The Grim Batol raid instance will be called the Bastion of Twilight, and you get to fight Cho'gall as the end boss! If you manage to defeat him in Heroic Mode, an "horrific secret will be revealed when he dies".

Typo, should be...

Grim Batol Raid
The Grim Batol raid instance will be called the Bastion of Twilight, and you get to fight Cho'gall as the end boss! If you manage to defeat him in Heroic Mode, a "horrific secret will be revealed when he dies".

[Karnige]

good adding useless features was pointless and they realized that

[JabJack]

Looks like updated horde guards around 2:10 on the video
