World of Warcraft Cataclysm Press Tour

[Keristrasza]

Just read it at curse - WHAT THE HELL?
Uhm.... Deathwing enters through the Maelstrom now? what the ... Ok, if they do it well I might buy it, still... doing a retcon, sort of, already?! Seriously, make up your minds before announcing one thing to the world and then doing another thing.
Now that DW enters through the Maelstrom we better be able to go there to seal it or something. Being able to go to, to see the Maelstrom would be a major, major bonus for me and would make me overlook the Path of the Titans thing etc.

Where in the world did you read something like that? O_o

[cool_freezer]

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".

sounds to me like c'thun is comming back and will be available after cho'gall dies, like the mechanic for bosses like algalon they hinted in a blue post a few days ago...

[XemnasXD]

im starting to lose my faith in their ability to do things properly. Maybe i can see why they got rid of path of the titans, it sounded clunky to begin with, an optional profession that you needed to have that would give you things like extra health? Kinda weird but if they can't get heroic deadmines/SFK out for launch im starting to think we won't see alot of the launch things they promised...

[azrielen]

Hmmmm. This really smacks of them running short on time. Bleh.

I think the removal of guild talents is a good thing. That sounded overly-complicated. I hope thew rewards are fun.

Will "medium glyphs" be something scribes craft, you think?

However, the removal of Path of the Titans is crappy. How will our characters advance at 85? Same old boring gearing? Just five more levels, without path of the titans to provide endgame enhancement, sounds crap. I hope the devs spend some time tomorrow answering why it was removed.

[Stings]

I were really looking forward to Guild Talents, sad to see it scrapped. On the other hand, i find it good that Archaelogy ain't that important, so i can allow myself to be lazy, but i'm probably gonna train it up anyway.

[KandyCane]

Guys I don't think you read it. The guild bonuses are not gone, just the talents. You'll still get all those awesome bonuses that you'd otherwise have gotten through talents, but instead you don't have to gather any currency to spend on them, they become available automatically once your guild dings.

Personally I'm a little disappointed in the Path of the Titans removal, I was reaally looking forward to it, but to be honest, it was insanely complicated, and made a secondary profession mandatory, which isn't what those are for.

I think the Medium Glyphs sounds like fun. I can't wait to see Cho'gall in heroic mode, though I doubt my guild will have time to down him before the next content patch... Bah, I might actually have to sneak peak since it's only from heroic mode.

[Deleted]

with SFK and DM not being ready for the release there's hope they are actually gonna boost those dungeons with some new shit.

or this:

Heroic Deadmines / Shadowfang Keep - Must be so hard to just use old content maybe you should get more practice with it....it shouldnt be that difficuilt you could always just remove all mobs then add new level 85's in their places rather than tweaking the current ones....seems like blizzard just wanted some extra content in future patches and rather than actually providing future content they decided just to withhold on sfk and deadmines....

[Deleted]

If they really introduce Medium Glyphs, I hope that they will make them as much balanced as possible. Will Breakthrough stack with abilities that increases damage done by 10% like Enrage?

[Frozenbeef]

Path of the Titans is gone- FU, what happened to be able to progress at level 85?...

Guild Talents are gone - Ah well

Archeology will be less important - FU, hai guys lets introduce a pointless new proffesion that no one will use just for lolz


Raids & Dungeons Split - Ah well

Rated Battlegrounds- FUFUFUFUFUFUFU , I hope they don't seriously screw up the 5man random bg or even the random heroic tool by doing this....


Grim Batol Raid - Thats nice....for raiders....


Skywall Raid - Yay again with the raiders


Deepholm - Yay that sounds great.....at least we arn't going to kill her like everyother person we have come across...


Heroic Deadmines / Shadowfang Keep - Must be so hard to just use old content maybe you should get more practice with it....it shouldnt be that difficuilt you could always just remove all mobs then add new level 85's in their places rather than tweaking the current ones....seems like blizzard just wanted some extra content in future patches and rather than actually providing future content they decided just to withhold on sfk and deadmines....



Cataclysm Zone Changes - Yay loks really nice

[pallypower]

I Just Don't Understand That they are changing alot of the stuff that was cool about this expansion....

i understand About the Path of the titans because that would have made it way to confusing, and i wouldn't be able to understand it :} But it really bad if they are just doing glyphes again i hope they come out with something better then that!

The guild talnet tree was cool!!! Sucks they are getting rid of it

Overall glad they are lifting the NDA soon......

[Worgoblin]

If this means a fall release, that's cool. Honestly, I'd rather have Cataclysm sooner and let them work on certain things to be part of patch 4.1 or whatever.

Kai boub, start firing pictures on the front page

Hate to burst your bubble, but "dance studio" was one of the main features named in the WOTLK introduction and was moved to "content patch" and oh look, it was moved out of this expansion.

[Deleted]

Not sure what to make outta this. They are removing quite a lot of things that were one of the main features of the expansion, delaying sfk/dm hc is silly too, I would think that its easier than making some new 5man. As far as I remmember we had 12 5mans after WotLK launch, so now they will bring us lets say 10 of them and after x months they will bring hc version of something we already know? Why not bring sfk+dm in the start and later add in something completely new...

Also from wowhead

#
Wrath of the Lich King had about 1000 new quests. Cataclysm has over 3000.

Gief, me liekz!

[Scubasteve]

I look forward to playing my character the exact same way I do now, with nothing new added whatsoever.

[Worgoblin]

These things happen. Something might look good on paper and just not work out. We're not in the WOW design meetings, I'm pretty sure they're not all like "lawl guys let's just get high this weekend instead of working on cataclysm"

[zarbus]

Unless something happened since Bou leaked, them saying Stormwind has been "completely redesigned" is salt in the goddamn wound.

[Hinalover]

IGN just posted a new preview for Cataclysm based on their visit.

[Thomasorosz84]

I was kind of bummed on the changed they removed. But I licked on the Wowhead link. And there is a lot more info the press tour. just one info I saw was Two trade district in Orgrimmar and Stormwind that's kinda cool.

[Hinalover]

Archaeologists will be able to assemble a skeletal raptor mount, and grant raid buffs by deciphering runes in dungeons, lead system designer Greg Street told Eurogamer.
