Should money be account-wide?
07:00PM CEST - Someone very smart pointed out something very disturbing. Worgens already had Darkflight, a temporary speed spell applying a Mod Speed to the character. So, why did Blizzard add that spell in this build?
- Running Wild - Drop to all fours to run as fast as a wild animal.
This spell doesn't apply a mod speed, and applies a "Mounted" aura to the player. It's a racial, and it's apparently a Level 20 spell. It also has a 1.5 sec cast time, like all the mounts spells. I don't want to say it yet, but that would explain why we never saw a model for the Worgen Mount.
12:00PM CEST - Added Maelstrom continent map.
11:25AM CEST - All classes changes are now available.
10:00AM CEST - Added Racial changes, added Mounts & Companion Pets.
09:35AM CEST - Added Player and Guild Achievements
Cataclysm Beta - Build 12984 (Codename Puppy)
It's time for another Cataclysm beta build! As usual, expect a stupid codename and a lot of updates during the day. Stay tuned!
Maelstrom Continent Map
The continent map of the Maelstrom is available.
Racial Changes
A couple of racial changes are in, not many, but it looks like Blizzard is starting to move stuff around.
