Patch 4.1 Content Preview: Rise of the Zandalari

[Deleted]

Looking forward to this! aswell as spending some time in the lovely Stranglethorn. I like the pets and the "new" reskinned bear.

[Bexy]

I just thought... does this mean that the Mojo pet will be removed? :X

How did you obatin the original Amani Battle Bear back in the days?

[Goretex]

Also, is anyone else confused by the fact that the Zaldalari have recruited both the Amani and the Gurubashi, but not the Sandfury tribe of Zul'farrak? At least having three new heroics on this "tier" would feel like there's some variety.

H Zul Farrak would be awesome too! Only thing I don't like about this, is why we fighting along side the alliance and visa versa damn you Vol Jin!

[Thiron]

Vol'jin? Hemet Nesigwary? Zandalari helping both Amani and Gurubashi? Visible BoA ring?

I didn't expect the spanish inquisition.

Well as I see it, it's more that there isn't any Sandfury left. I mean we did, in Cataclysm, clear the entire place out, and had quests to clear to place out, so it doesn't really make sense if they suddenly got new leadership. I'm pretty sure we managed to commit genocide on just about their entire race.

And even if that's not true, it says, "Thus far, the Gurubashi and Amani trolls have answered the summons and received aid from the Zandalari" which implies that the Zandalari are just sort of goin, "Party at ojur place, we provide drinks and snacks, all trolls welcome." The Sandfury may not have even wanted to come.

Oh and keep in mind that the Sandfury are also on the other continent. That's a bit of a problem.

well, if you remember the Cataclysm Events, then one of the elemental bosses was the monster in Zul'Farrak, and it got metioned that they worked for Old Gods/ Twilights Hammer now.

[Leifmeister]

the wording in this post scares me when he says "confirming the updated skin of the Amani War Bear in the process." They aren't changing the skin of my lvl 70 bear right....

Same as this time, complete the instance within a certain time.

Beat ZA within a certain amount of time. However, it wasn't a trivial task.

[Durbi]

"can be earned by killing the first four bosses of Zul'Aman in a limited amount of time."

Say hello to our new bronze drake!

Exactly my thought, hello new bronze drake...meh...

i agree with what you say (you forgot the Elemental Invasion Dungeon fact, but whatever), except the last one, the Zandalari tribe lives on an island, which means they probaly can sail to both continents. the fact that its an island even make me more sure that next expansion will be Azshara and Naga + maybe Emerald Dream + islands and lots of water in the middle of the sea, where the trolls can fit in later. they also talked about "World Travelling" at some point, and i guess they wanna clear out Azeroth before they take out the big World Travel.

really? alot of people says it was a trivial task.
plus, you dont know how trivial it will be yet.

[Asrialol]

Yeah, it was "hard" for about a week, after that it was pugged several times each week on most of my alts realms.. Nothing big about it.

Too all the people who're being all "New bear is just a re-colored version of the old.. Now I'm not going to look unique while standing in OG/SW", - please. I have the old bear and I'm happy about the change. Now my alts can have a similar bear for the same effort. (Spending 20-50 minutes in a dungeon or raid, no big deal).

[Azutael]

Nobody expects the spanish inquisition!

I personally cant wait to get to do Zul'gurub again, not all that fuzzed over zul'aman however.
More gear for hard to obtain slots is very welcome,

[nilnar]

Disappointing how similar the new mount is to the old one, given how common this mount will be in a couple of patches time (think Bronze drake). Oh well, the exclusivity was nice while it lasted.

On a more serious note though, does anyone else find it tenuous that Voljin would reach out to the Alliance as well as the Horde? I mean, trolls are usually viewed as savages by the Alliance in any literature I've read. I can't imagine Voljin getting audience with Varian Wrynn.

w00t archeology bosses!! :P

It wasn't trivial at all, and cmon we all know what expansion we are, it will be difficult for first 2 days and then after QQ from mama's boys its gonna get nerfed to ground

i'm expecting something like this on release: beat the timed run under 30 minutes to recieve this mount, and 3 days later: beat timed run under 2 hours to recieve this mount...cause franly thats how this game operates now

and if that isn't enough it's gonna recive 10 nerfs in first month also...so yeah it's gonna be trivial very very soon

[bajerman]

It better be really hard to get the bear. Like beat all 4 bosses in 15 minutes. Bronze Drake was too faceroll, I got it without even trying.

[TheOne]

Awesome. Yet another reason to not even bother logging into WoW until after 4.2.

Well, some did say they wanted that old bear.

Just don't complain that it's an effortless rehash like you're prone to do, community.
