Taiwan Realms now get Raid Resets twice a week

The new raid lockout changes for Taiwan and Korea adjust the lockout timers for the patch 4.0 and 4.2 raids. The lockout timers for these raids will now reset twice weekly instead of once. 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)

    Gawd, that DK T13 is hugely disappointing. Thank god I've got both Tank and Dps T10 still in my bank. I used to think T7 was the worst set, but I have to say T7 > T13 Lame O.

    Mount looks nice - bet it's from the store....

    There need to be no mage changes, apart from reducing Ice Lance damage by 90%, and buffing Arcane damage in exchange.

    No one was going to like DK's t13 set. The build up was to great. The let down was obvious.

    Give it a week.


    That new golden dragon mount looks really nice! Looks like it belongs in MoP not Cata though.

    Don't mean to be such a negative Nellie, but oh my god DK T13 is awful. Not just for the amount of effort they said they were putting into it and the build-up, but I think it just looks terrible in its own right.

    I see how it is! i pm you the dagger procs 20 mins ago and you say nothing!

    The fuck.. Why do the slants get double lock outs and NA cant.. fuck dat call.

    So DK's have been waiting this long for this... ? Too bad they can't transmog' much, they're gonna need it . Anyway, THIS CHROMATIC DRAGON IS FREAKIN' AMAZING. I'm guessing the less armored one will be rewarded for a normal kill and the great looking one for heroic kills and that's about time heroic raiders get rewarded more than the others. I'm getting sick of all these average raiders riding Ragnaros' mount...

    Why is it called a chromatic dragon when its gold? Is the texture wrong and will be replaced with one thats actually chromatic?
  1. wolpertinger95's Avatar
    Why does Boub keep calling them chromatic dragons?The chromatic are abominations created by Nefarian in an attempt to combine all the different powers of the different dragonflights into one dragon.These are clearly not chromatic dragons and should be called something else.

    That mount is incredible

    Dk tier is much better than the T12 wing thingy. I give it a 7.5/10 Good but not the greatest tier set w/ anticipation behind it.
  1. Baphomette's Avatar
    There was no way DK T13 was going to live up to the wait unless it was on the level of Paladin S11. It's all right, but not exceptional. [ ] Show Helm going to remain unchecked.

    Heart of the Aspects is most likely the Chomatic Drake mount.
    no, horseman's reins, and other similar mounts that function as such (and did before wyverns and gryphons did) also are phrased like that

    i also prefer dk t12, going to be transmogging it for my dk :P
  1. Rakudjo's Avatar
    Not gonna lie, this is probably my absolute least favorite DK tier set yet. And I wasn't really a fan of the Burger King King Helm nor the Winged Skull Helm of the previous two tiers.

    What werer the DK's expecting exactly? I personally think this looks pretty awsome, yet you all don't seem to agree =P

    The dragon's flying style kinda reminds me of an Asian mythological dragon, I can see it being re-skinned for MoP
