Blizzard released 2 official previews of the Patch 4.2 Raid and Patch 4.2 Daily Quests Area! We finally have a decent idea of what to expect there and seeing the zones (and Ragnaros :D) outside of the datamining environment is refreshing. If you missed the earlier previews, don't hesitate to check them out!

    This looks absolutely amazing, visually stunning, and looks like the best raid encounter they've ever implemented!!! (Visually at least, idk about actual content)

    bet 4.2 will be released the week before fire festival k go!
    I have to guess that one will drop in normal mode and one in heroic mode. Or maybe those will be the achievement drakes similar to glory to the raider. I'm not sure what they'll call it though because this tier isnt just firelands

    Maybe they just didn't show all of them?

    ...Obviously? So where could these other bosses hide? The only place they didnt show was shatterstone

    I'm going to guess that he will gain his legs in a phase in the encounter . Just my guess

    Alot of ppl will not come back for 4.2.
    Good to see you back here again. I look forward to reading your rubbish that no one on here agrees with

    My b. I thought you were saying that they had removed them or something. It looks like a big instance, and we only saw a minute-long preview of it, so I'm sure that they are hiding somewhere.

    For those asking about the legs, it was already said a long time ago when the first images of the new Ragnaros were released that he would only gain legs in a new phase during the HEROIC version of his encounter.

    Love it, looks like the beast of a child Burning Steppes and Shadowmoon Valley would rear together.

    Recycled proto-drake models for the phoenixes was a little disappointing (they should be flying...), but there's always some recycled content, so meh.

    Well... The name is fitting O_o

    It's not a phoenix, it's a firehawk. Also the model isn't final... And you can't honestly expect them to come up with brand new animations for every monster in the game.

    hell yea this unfinished product looks great
    almost great enough to distract me from the unfinished product they pushed out on tuesday.

    Disappointed with the "Quest Preview". I expected something more along the lines of a preview of the actual quests. Looked more like just a zone preview part 2 really.

    WTB Scorpion form... But what role would it fill? hmmm...

    Ya it should've been named "Daily Quest ZONE Preview"

    Is it just me or does Ragnaros have Kil'jaeden structure and animations? If so I am so dissapointed.
