Taiwan Realms now get Raid Resets twice a week

These raid lockout changes are being made to allow players to raid more often and get more chances at epic loot drops. Players will be able to down current Cataclysm raid bosses twice a week, accelerating players’ progression.

We are testing these new raid lockout changes in Taiwan and Korea first. Our goal is to expand this change to other regions in the future, but we don’t have anything further to announce at this time with regard to North American implementation.

Yep. Seriously. Like, seriously dude. This is a Model Viewer render, I will update those screenshots if necessary when I fixed my tools and give you a render closer to the one you could get in-game. (But those might be just fine)

    Mount would look better without the armor, but very cool nonetheless.

    First mounts I've really liked in a loooong time. Both look good, the one without armor looks great

    1.) I think resetting raids twice a week would be nice, it would give me more options instead of just idling in Orgrimmar/Stormwind. It might be problematic for casual raiding guilds however, especially if they decide to implement this for new content, so hopefully they will just use it for older content only.

    2.) That chromatic dragon model is pretty damn awesome, about time they switched it up to something new instead of reused.

    3.) Blood DK buff , I guess they took that guy who QQed about them during Blizzcon seriously.

    I'm glad Blizz is continuing their trend for DK tier (this is not a negative/sarcastic post). Every tier for other classes has always revolved around some theme of the expansion or patch. Firelands creatures/architecture, tiers that look similar to something in a zone, etc. Death Knights are above that. Every tier they get something that goes with their class and stands apart from those other non-Hero classes. t11 - more skulls (did you see those skulls anywhere in cata?). t12 - you can see the architecture of a frost wyrm, with their wings on the helm. So i'm glad they are continuing the trend. (finally a purple/green set that really goes with the scourge WCIII theme)

    That's the DK T13? Rather disappointing for how long it took.
  1. ypolt's Avatar
    Aw, man :/ Here I was hoping the DK tier set took so long because it would look as awesome as the new paladin pvp set Mount looks great though, and great to see the blood DK armor contribution getting a buff!

    That's only for Taiwan and Korea if I'm reading that right.

    Skulls once again for DK Tier. I kinda understand why but honestly, some variety would be nice.
  1. Sithel's Avatar
    That is a nice looking mount. Sadly it will probably be just one more mount that I will never obtain. /WoeIsMe.
  1. Elethiem's Avatar
    Resetting raids sounds interesting but most guilds operate on a one week raiding cycle. I wonder how they will deal with the change? And why is this being contemplated? Will Mists of Panderia come out soon so there's not a lot of raid time on Dragon Soul? I'd actually prefer that the valor point cap reset twice a week but thats not going to happen. Some guilds are going to be pretty upset that they will be pressured to clear the raids twice a week to max out their chances to get loot to keep up with progression.

    Holy hell that mount looks pretty sexy. DK T13 is looking pretty good but it should have looked MUCH better considering how long it took them but I'm not complaining it could look worse.

    That mount looks damn nice, definitely going to be working towards that. I like the idea of the older raids resetting earlier as well, reminds me of the days back in Burning Crusade when ZA was raidable twice per week.
