Cataclysm Prologue Part 3, New Tinkertown, Mobile Armory

Cataclysm Prologue Part 3 - We're under attack!
The 3rd part of the prologue is available for testing and things are getting very serious, capital cities are attacked by elementals every 1~2 hours! This event is pretty fun and a lot less annoying than the WotLK's zombie invasion, if you do not want to participate in the event you should stay alive without too much problem.


  • Guards will try to evacuate citizens, low level players can also use portals to leave the city before the attack.
  • You first have to deploy sandbags/barricades to help defending the city.
  • You will then have to defeat the elementals in all the districts of the city, Orgrimmar is damaged badly in the process and most of the buildings are on fire.
  • After successfully defending the cities, you will get a chance to counter attack by entering the huge portal in capital cities (or using the LFD tool) to fight mini-bosses in 4 different instances.
  • The 4 bosses are Grand Ambassador Flamelash in BRD, Crown Princess Theradras in Maraudon, Kai'ju Gahz'rilla in Zul'Farrak and Prince Sarsarun in AQ20.

New Tinkertown and the Fight for Gnomeregan
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker)
As Gnomeregan's exiles set out to reclaim their beloved capital from the treasonous Mekgineer Thermaplugg, we bring you a first look at how this wondrous techno-city will exist in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. Following the conclusion of Operation: Gnomeregan, High Tinker Mekkatorque and his people have gained a foothold just outside the city in New Tinkertown. Soon, though, they'll find that the surface is rife with a host of new perils that they couldn't have prepared for.

Resolute in reclaiming their lost capital, Gnomeregan's exiles have begun an assault against the traitorous Mekgineer Thermaplugg. Traveling from their temporary residence in Ironforge, they are led by the esteemed High Tinker Gelbin Mekkatorque, leader of the gnomes, and seek to restore Gnomeregan to its past glory. In World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, new gnome adventurers will get to experience this ongoing struggle to retake their former home firsthand, beginning their journey in the besieged upper levels of the techno-city.

In the wake of Operation: Gnomeregan, survivors of the fallout will make their way to New Tinkertown, the gnomes' foothold outside their captured city. From there they will be called into action by the high tinker himself to help protect reclaimed gnomish land from new and imminent threats. As one of the newest recruits to this cause, your mettle will be put to the test when you face perilous trials like rescuing captured gnomish demolitionists, destroying a tunnel riddled with vicious troggs, and extinguishing toxic sludge that has begun to rise from the irradiated depths of the city.

Your most important mission, however, will be to thwart the plans of Razlo Crushcog, conspirator and ally of Mekgineer Thermaplugg. Before Chill Breeze Valley can be fully resettled, Crushcog must be stopped, and only your efforts can bring that goal to fruition. Gnomish know-how and engineering will be your allies, but your greatest weapons will be your wits and the will to fight the good fight... for Gnomeregan!

In World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, you'll encounter these challenges and more in the gnomes' new starting (levels 1-5) experience. Keep a good head on your shoulders and ingenuity in your pocket, and your contributions will help secure a proper home for your fellow gnomes.



Mobile Armory Update - 3D Model Viewer
Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker)
Every character profile on the Mobile Armory now has a 3D model viewer displaying that character as he or she appears in-game, including equipped items and appearance.

  • Simply touch and drag the character model to rotate it.
  • Tap the icon on the top right to switch to a full-screen mode. In this mode, you can view a selection of character animations from the menu at the bottom of the screen. Other full-screen options include selecting a background, toggling the character’s helm and tabard display, and taking a screenshot (which saves to your Camera Roll).
  • Tap the icon to the upper left of the character model to switch between viewing the 3D model and displaying character information.

Other additions in this update include:

  • A character's in-game activity (including item acquisitions, achievements, and boss kills), is now captured in an activity feed. You can display this feed by using the drop-down menu at the top of a character profile.
  • Professions (both primary and secondary) are now displayed on character profiles and are accessed by the same character profile drop-down menu.
  • At-a-glance item rarities: Item icons now have colored borders indicating their rarity.
  • iPhone OS 4.0 optimizations and enhancements.

    Not sure if this question was asked, but are the bosses that you face a once a day thing (like Heroics) or can you que up and do the boss as many times you want in a day?
  1. Riboflavin's Avatar
    Sokarthetank as it is on the ptr you can only queue for the bosses of the cities that have been freed from the invasion, once the second city is free you can queue for the other two, you can only do one kill of each boss per the invasion stage, so you can kill them multiple times, however you have to wait for the final phase again. This is on the ptr though and I have no idea if this is what will happen on live.

    "This event is pretty fun and a lot less annoying than the WotLK's zombie invasion"

    A lot less annoying means a lot less fun, that's what it means, it means you just attack stuff, kill a random enemy in an instance, and then do some meaningless quests.

    The entire thing is up for watching and it looks boring as hell, the zombie invasion was hours of fun, I literally stopped getting ready for Wrath just to do it every single day, hordes of zombie-players assaulting cities together and battling for control, it was as close to some kind of world-PvP as I've ever seen a game get.

    The zombie invasion was balls to the wall amazing and one of Blizz's greatest "fun" achievements.

    This? This is boring, confined, and with a minimalist quest line to "complete" the lore.

    I don't even care about it after actually seeing it and won't participate.

    "New Tinkertown and the Fight for Gnomeregan"

    So, you utterly fail in your goal and now they're set up OUTSIDE Gnomeregan in the area where nothing important ever happened, aside from a certain stealthed quest giver attempting to destroy the minutia of forces outside the actual city from within.

    I mean, really? This is it? They failed to achieve anything but a camp after all this hype, since it was first mentioned on MMO Champ? This is really all?

    I'm so disappointed I may just have to go as Ben Stein or Droopy Dog for Halloween, supreme levels of fail, Blizz, the only saving grace of these two total-fails is that the Gnomes will have their own starting point and(I assume) very funny quests associated with it.

    The content of Cata is definitely going to be great, but the kickoff is as weak and lame as BC's.

    I agree with every single thing you have said about the zombie event, really well described. But the truth is, it was so great, nothing is going to look good compared to it, you know?

    But, you can't possibly say this even will be alike the BC one, it's got a lot more depht and stuff to do, though then again, nothing compared to zombie event.

    New gear looks a little bit late. Why someone need 251 gear now? Green gear of ilevel 300+ will be better. It more looks like they are buying time and we won't see Cata soon =(

    Sad, so sad. Not because Cataclysm has been "postponed", I can live with that, but because I've now lost all faith in this site

    Anyone else thinks that the ilvl 251 Loots from the 4 Bosses in the coming Phase4 are piss poor ?
    I mean, come on... icc 25 non-hero already drops ilvl 264 loots, and everybody should be fully geared with it by now...

    I really see no reason to actually visit em once phase 4 hits...
    But on the other hand, the whole event is kinda sad with what i saw so far and NOT ecip at all.
