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)

    Not sure if this was mentioned before, but some of the dungeon and Darkmoon Faire music was added to this build.

    Blizzard spend alot of time on the helm and shoulders and they always look so good yet stand out like a sore thumb because everything else looks very shit like they spent 5 minutes on it, they need to realise there's more to a set than the helm and shoulders for fuck sake.

    The reason why some WoW players are complete crybabies: DK set has 2 skulls total and people complain about too many skulls. For the love of god people, every tier has had skulls. Get used to it already because it is not changing. That set looks awesome. All the armor blends well together. Seems like some people let the anticipation build up their hopes for some superduperomfgamazing set though.

    DKs got trolled by Blizz The mount looks great! Titles seem pretty cool I guess. Would like to know what the other mounts look like.

    Looks like one hellishly amazing mount... Also means it'll be a mount I'll never get.

    What I don't get is if you are playing a DEATH Knight(see what I did there?) what kind of Tier sets do you expect? Kittens and fluffy bears all over your shoulders? DK sets imo have all been really god and that death feeling to them just makes them better.

    so we waited 2 months for this cappy set? :/ ok guess ill have to transmog.. fail set..

    How is having us raid the same thing twice / week going to stop us from being bored?Raiding twice / week will mean gearing up at a retarded pace, which in turn will mean that after 2-3 months tops my entire guild will be decked out in full BiS gear.... Considering there is usually 6-7 monts between content patches, that means 4 months of utter boredom and trying to keep your guild together -_- And that's even ignoring the guilds more skilled than us which will be done gearing up after like what, 1 month? (= 8-9 full resets already)

    I love the mounts, I prefer the version without all of the armour over the one with the armour though. Also, another T12 nerf for Shamans, Blizzard, are you serious?

    Death Knight T13 SUCKS!!!!!!!! It don`t looks like a DK gear at all.. and it`s ugly.

    Why are the DK's complaining about skulls....? Ur a fricking DK, death skull and bones are all part of the DK Dont like it, deal with it or reroll or transmorg. That being said, i agree with it looking a bit blend but its not ugly... So far 4.3 looks awesome, t13 set's all looks great non of them are plain ugly. New mounts looks pretty, the raid it self looks fun and deathwing looks badass. I get to do more things outside of raiding and thats a new raid lockout for 4.3 with Raid Finder. Chromatic Dragon new model ? Dunno seems like a dragon hawk model where they changed it to be a bit more horizontal based to look like a dragon when it fly's. Not that im complaining cuz this is the most prettiest looking mount so far imo and i dont mind reused models as long as it looks good I would love to get the non armoured version

    That dragon moves like a Chinese dragon. Guess it's meant for the expansion, or the prelude to it.

    Mediocre T13 DK set, the body is not up on par with the shoulders/helm. A "WWE Champion" belt that is not like the others, instead just a texture like small belts? Only textures applied to the legs too? Poor.

    And really? Things are that bad that we need 2 lockouts per week now? Are we really that gear driven? Another way to inflate the lack of content, just like normal + heroic "Firelands is 14 bosses!" crap? Heroic races now at the launch? LOL

    There was a reason ppl asked to not raid 10+25 anymore. Ppl complaining that is not good to raid 4,5,6 days a week and now Blizzard is forcing them to do so? LOL. Ppl will be pressured to raid more just like they did get with 10+25, except that one could argue that 10man gear was crap and you could roflstomp the easier 10man with the better 25man gear, but now they're the same. Guilds are setup for 1 raid per week, 2 days, 3 days, etc. Increasing that to 6 days does not help. Not when you're forced to do so on the same character. LFR is alread there for twice a week raiding in a way that does not force guilds to put their members in such a pressure. Members in your guild who can raid 6/7 days per week will always be better (and get spots) than the others who could run the current schedule.

    Want something better Blizzard? Separated locks for Normal and Heroic like ToC. Worth more than forcing ppl to raid twice a week no matter what. No pressure for clearing normal while discussing giving up trying a heroic mode or not, just because you need to clear it on normal. That will help the game way more than 6/7 days of raiding.

    Unless we're getting more content fast (new Tier every 3 months or less), no need to fast foward stuff that much, want to nerf the entire content 1 month after it's release and now packing those 6 months worth of raiding into this 1/2 month(s) thanks to the new nerf philosophy? Things will get boring way faster.

    I'm guessing the gold dragon pet is soul of the aspects and the gold dragon mount is heart of the aspects...

    DK t13, looks like crap. Its basically a copy of the s11 gear with more horns and spikes.

Especially with Firelands and now Dragon Soul both being exceptionally short raids. I mean c'mon when Cata came out we got multiple raids with many bosses in each, apart from one which had two. They said they would do this from now on rather than give us just one giant raid like they had been doing with ICC etc. This was a model based off the first tiers of TBC. Then Firelands comes out and they flat out changed their mind and really skimped out big time. They got rid of us having multiple raids with many bosses, but this time they didn't even go back to the one raid only but having it be large design. Now we get one raid and it's medium sized. Some thought it was just for Firelands and now we see it's like that as well with Dragon Soul. I don't understand why they changed their mind on having many raids per patch with few bosses in each and decided upon one raid with a handful of bosses like this. So yeah this is a huge reason why we need raid lockouts to be cut in half. Those who don't wish to raid the extra time don't have to. Those of us who would love to raid twice a week shouldn't be punished by the people who don't wish to raid longer. Oh also that new drake is indeed amazing looking. Too bad I can't say the same for the DK tier set. Looks like the new warrior PVP set in a way. Uglyyyyyy at least imo.
    Do something else, there are other things to do even in WoW. But go play other games, do something else about your life other than staying logged in WoW the entire day.

    Even that way, go raid with your alt if you have that much free time. But don't ask to f%¨& others.

    So what you do is just EXTEND THE RAID LOCKOUT. Now people that want to raid twice a week on one toon can and those that don't can keep to their regular raid times. It will also probs equal more pugs. So quit acting like this will affect anything at all
