Beta Build 13066 - Portals removed from Shattrath and Dalaran
Blizzard doesn't want you to use Shattrath and Dalaran as portal hubs anymore, the latest beta update removed all the portal to the cities and replaced them with class trainers.

Cataclysm Release Date Postponed (Not Official)
A few weeks ago I announced that the target release date for Cataclysm was November 2. Well, according to an update I just got, the release has been postponed and Blizzard will try to release the game in early December. (Basically, either December 7 or December 14)

The Cataclysm by itself will happen earlier and will let you play in the "new" zone for a couple of days/weeks before you can buy the expansion and access the level 85 content. Keep in mind that they're mostly inside info, they're not official and I just report them because ... well, I'm sure you all want to know when it's supposed to happen.


Super-Mega-Uber Cataclysm Items Update
The latest beta build added A LOT of epic items to the game, we have valor points rewards, justice points rewards, Tier 11 armor sets stats, and PvP rewards!




Valor Points rewards
Valor Points are the high tier emblems of Cataclysm, you will only earn them from raids.

    eh, shit happens, games get delayed. Anyone who's a gamer realizes this. Besides, between Dead Rising 2 and a new computer i'm building (which will pave the way for other games) i've got plenty to do.

    Also to the people complaining about nothing but ICC and RS for a year...you know you guys can go play something else, cancel the sub for a month or two, save $15-$30 and come back later, pretty sure blizz won't hate you for it.

    Hmm 7/14 December will be the death of some guilds I know. And loads will go casual until then. Only thing I kinda want to see again are the Ulduar HM's. Only hope my guilds wants to do them too..

    As long as BLIZZARD ITSELF doesn't state a precise release date :

    Take everything that is being said (Even from the legendary Boub) as SPECULATIONS ONLY

    For all we know it could be delayed to 2020

    Please stop posting things that have no basis in reality and no reference.
    You sir are the moron cause WOTLK was released before the 27th on the 14th soooo u are the idiot.

    Actually no. Hero points were changed to justice points a while back. The hero points now have to do with honor if I remember correctly.

    Well I'm totally selfish and hope its held off till after the Christmas break, that way all the studants out there wont be hitting 85 b4 I even get to 82!
    Removing portals totally sucks arse too imo... getting from dala to org the old fashioned way takes way too long. Really dont get the logic on that one.
  1. videotape's Avatar
    If this is what they mean by normalizing Stam, why not just derive an item's base health contribution from its iLvl and forget about Stam on gear? Eh.

    Also:

    LOL, don't worry. It still sucks.

    I love all the passive-aggressive threats to quit WoW over a 3-4 week delay from one unofficial release date to another unofficial release date. See you folks on the other side of the cataclysm!
  1. Bri's Avatar
    Well I hear the part about a December release date NOT being official, so I'll hold on to that as much as possible. But what about this stupid portal removal crap? Please tell me that is also not official. The mages on my server are either slack or greedy, I don't like standing around for 15mins trying to find a mage to port me somewhere. ugh. I hope they change that.

    They are trying to make sure 85s get the heck out of Dalaran, while giving 70-80 toons a reason to go there. They want people's hearths to be back in the real world.

    Donno if this has been posted yet (not going to read through 17 pages to find out), but did anyone else notice they took away the little pvp bonuses that the gloves gave? No more "hamstring costs 3 less rage" and such. If they already announced they were doing it, cool. I didn't see that post, but just wanted to point that out.
  1. mmoc3c85dad98b's Avatar
    Hmm, the only thing that i can see is good with the unofficial release date is that its close to my 3 week holiday... Otherwise I just wanna say FUCK! I so thought it was gonna be released in november :<, now we're (most likely) gonna have to wait another month QQ

    Enough with the sub 35% auto fire tank trinkets. We aren't all Paladins, some of us can actually use a cool down when needed.

    Come up with any excuse you want, but this really is dumbing down not only the gear choise, but through that, the experience of advancing your character.
    Sigh, i feel bored already ><
    Damn WOTLK sickness.

    This is what the gear used to look like, and this is how it is now. GOOD!
    You don't need 10 different stats on your gear to make yourself look cooler.

    No, I believe there are only going to be two types of points. If you want to go ahead and farm 2000 badges now so that you can buy a single blue item at level 85, you can go ahead and do that, but the cap is 4000, so no matter how much you poop sock right now, you're not going to benefit much later.

    What part of "I don't even care if that date gets pushed back a few times" don't you understand?

    Guess any official date won't be announced until BlizzCon... oh well...

    Tbh I was kind of expecting it (if it does happen).

    We were getting -way- too close to Blizzcon with no news, and this lets them announce at Blizzcon with much less of an "Oh it's next week, have fun!" attitude.
