Cataclysm Beta - Build 12759
A new build is being deployed on beta realms, just like any beta build, it will be painful, a lot of stuff will break, and I have no idea if I'll be able to give you all the content on the first day.

On the upside, Thrall is getting a new model. Stay tuned for changes!


Nemesis in Hyjal looks really nice too.


Guild Vendor Rewards
The Guild Vendor is here, a lot of items are placeholders but it should give you a pretty good idea of what it will offer.


And if you're wondering.



Loading Screens
Loading screens for each continent have been updated.




Spellbook - Mounts and Companion Pets
The Mounts & Companion Pets are now in the spellbook with a brand new interface.



Tol Barad
Tol Barad is open for testing, this is a new outdoor/PvP zone with a daily quest area for the faction controlling it. More on that later.





310% Speed Flying Mount
The new 310% Speed Flying Mount skill costs 5000 gold to train. People who already own a 310% flying mount get it for free.



Relic Slots Items
All classes items in the relic slot now have stats.



Masteries and Armor Specialization
Masteries and Armor Specializations are now available for testing.



Holy Power
The interface for the new Holy Power resource is here.



Video Settings
The Video Settings menu has been expanded, looks like we'll be able to tweak more things in Cataclysm.



Creature Damage Output Changes

We’d like to get your feedback about how combat feels with creatures in level 80-85 exterior zones, including spawn rates and numbers of creatures in specific locations in each zone. Please let us know if this feels adequately challenging, or if there is a little too much face rocking going on.

    Holy smokes, it kicks ass... It's basically 12 minutes of "shit is going down".

    Whoa, Thrall looks pretty good. But where's Doomhammer's armor?!? And the hammer itself?

    Forget the Thrall model, the new loading screens now make the races look discernible. That's always been one of the largest gripes I've had with this expansion and thank fuck they're fixing it.

    All the armor models that Thrall used to have were pieces of armor any plate wearer could wear.. the stockade pauldrons plus some generic chestplate and leggings with one of those squarish 1 hander maces and wham, anyone could wear Thrall's 'legendary' armor and weapon

    He's a shaman and embracing his shamanistic powers, after having his powers awoken from the cataclysm or whatnot

    That's like saying a Jedi is lame because they wear robes instead of the uncomfortable battle armor that nameless Stormtrooper #473 along with his 472 clones wear into battle

    Be happy.. Horde now have a Jedi on their side...

    there are quite a few, i'm sure there will be a list soon on the main site


    but a few that come to mind are Light of Dawn scaling with Holy Power, IMP Crusader strike gone again, now a talent that speeds up the CD based on your haste, and there is a ret talent (that i'm sure holy will get) that gives Word of Glory a 20/40% chance to not consume Holy Power. There was more, just some that came to mind.

    Wow...the WoW community really will bitch about everything no matter what. Thralls model looks great, you people are crazy. He's supposed to be getting in touch with his shamanistic roots and I think his outfit accurately depicts that. I have no faith in you anymore WoW community. :[

    Well you held faith longer than I did that's for sure. Gotta love the rancid, festering sh*t hole that the majority of the community has become. MAJORITY is key word ;P (not all)
