So this will be the new reason to QQ in the forums for next two weeks. I can't wait!

People whinging about OMG it looks the same.

Well - here is a clue, almost every house in the planet looks the same - they all have insides and outsides, and many have rooms and beds and cooking places.

You see what you want to see, if what you want to see is rehashed content - then that is what you see.

I saw something new and fantastic - awesome and can't wait for it.

Its pretty nice and unique.
And for everyone that say that they retake rooms from others instances/raids they're absoluty off.
Because....
People today won't get satisfied with anything .....

"Battle.net Mobile Alerts" "does not work with prepaid phones" - this is BS. My bank have no problem to spam my prepaid mobile with sms about how low on money my bank account is (I wanted to avoid not paying internet bill :P), so why blizz don't make this? I will never pay for my mobile monthly, because I don't call more often than 1-2 times a day (or even I don't use it, switch it off when I want rest from calling people).

Is anyone else kinda tired of bitchy blue responses?

I know I am.

Come on guys, no matter how retarded the questions, don't talk down to the playerbase like that.

I'm a horde player and I feel bad for the alliance, the posters have a point.

Because spamming an insecure (i.e. who know's who's phone it is) with your bank alerts, is WAY different to allowing you to alter/enable/change details on your WoW account.

Remember - pre-paid phone numbers get reused very frequently.

I can't exactly blame the blues, though. So many people on the forums do nothing but talk shit about them, the game, and the company all day every day. If we want the blues to not be assholes, then we shouldn't be assholes. Unfortunately, "Don't be a dick" is probably impossible for a lot of the playerbase.

Al tho the instances were more or less always fun and entertaining (sigh at Dragon Soul), this one really looks interesting. I see ill need to update my hardware before launch. However there is one thing that i would like to stress out to you Blizzard. You always seem to put epic bosses and npc rooted in the place, waiting for us. What you should do is make them more dynamic to their surroundings. Make a big room, hide them somewhere, make them charge us instead of the other way around. Make them climb walls, be one with their keep/cave etc, just like we are within our establishment. That should put in a little more twist then - oh there he is, all right, now im gonna md him to you on 3,2... Boring, make us run for the money

Orange ICC = new Lich King is back? Cool mobile app tho.

Theramore's hardly "some shitty little town in the middle of nowhere." Even if it's not properly reflected in game, Theramore is very much an Alliance capital. It's the largest Alliance stronghold on continental Kalimdor, and its position(as well as the highway constructed in Cataclysm) allows the Alliance as a whole to constantly send troops from the rest of the world and keep the Horde pinned down in Mulgore and the Barrens. Losing Theramore basically means the Alliance surrenders everything south of Ashenvale.

This was also the only front the Alliance has won in the entirety of Cataclysm. I've played Alliance during all my time in WoW, and it gets frustrating as hell to see your faction getting kicked around like this. War isn't supposed to be fair, fine, but that's no reason for the Alliance to lose every single time, with our characters basically being a non factor.

I hope that layout for Heart of Fear is the temporary part. Call me crazy, but it looks like ICC with BT floors/staircases.

who the fuck cares what it look like? don't like it? don't raid it... seriously grow up kids stop complaining about every tiny thing or make a better raid yourself.

I liked the Q&A; for once the questions asked weren't fluffy and easy, and actually held Blizzard to account on some stuff rather well.

Agreed, i really love those q's u get from Theramore and it saddens me to hear its getting destroyed but like they say revenge is sweet

Show me a single reused asset from Icc and then maybe I'll agree that they rehashed Icc. So far to me it feels like a mix of BT and AQ40...pretty damn awesome.

I look at the screenshots and see nothing in common other than high ceilings and red. Possibly the pointed arches.

I'm not gonna spark the whole "WoW is dying" thing, I'm sure someone else will probably do that later on in comments, it's an inevitability. I don't believe it.

What I will say, though, is that it's interesting to see that the nature of the blue posts are changing from a sort of smug sarcasm that some players liked, to a more catty defensiveness. It looks like they're under pressure at the moment.
