Warlords of Draenor Quest Preview, May 2 Hotfixes, Blue Tweets, Classic Games, Art

[Mellrod]

The way the quest and storylines seem to be laid out are amazing! I love how each zone is a different chapter in the story of WoD, and Garrisons are like their own bonus chapter, but still connect to the overall storyline of Draenor. We saw some of this "chapter-based questing" a little bit in Cata with zone revamps and 85 content, then we saw it even better in MoP w/ each questing zone. Now it seems to be alot more refined and fleshed out than ever before. Awesome!

I also like how the side quests are separate from the main story so players do't loose immersion in lots of grinding and it doesnt take away from the story. I also love those bonus objectives, seems pretty cool. The fact that they have 33 rares and 41 treasures for one zone makes me wonder about other zones as well! Now people can see why Blizz removed flying, all of that explorable content would be completely undermined. Exploring isnt the same when you're flying over it all. When WoD drops first thing i'll do is explore the continent instead of quest.

Overall the zone content seems pretty good. This should be one of WoD's big features IYAM, it's pretty exciting so far! Great work Blizz-Boys!

Holy shit, one of the best games of all time is freeware on the Bnet website... and this is like a footnote :O

Also, those quests sound awesome.

Blackthorne is also available if anybody missed that showing up last year, though it should be noted that Rock n' Roll Racing is only 3 tracks, no upgrading, no travel, nada I'm guessing they couldn't get the rights to any of the music anymore and potentially some of other licensing/code. Which is a shame. I think Lost Vikings and Blackthorne are full though.

"The Chase

Grom and his army are chasing you.
Everything is exploding."

My favorite part of the notes right there.

a level 255 quest in frostridge? i didnt know this xpac had a 165 lvl cap increase. on a more serious note...those quest reward have to have the wrong ilvls. there's no way they would make 583 heroic warforged geared raiders replace all of it with 510 greens. they'll probably get bumped to like 610.

my main is 558 with 50+ attempts at him. hours of just sitting around discussing a plan that ends up not working. maybe, just maybe, i'll finally get a heirloom without throwing 30k for a normal garrosh kill.

Or maybe you should find a competent raid group.

I would suggest checking it first. Just tried the RRR one and it was an incredibly short stripped down version of the game. Very little better than some online flash game. Not sure I see the point.

Why are we seeing Blue tweets from a month ago in today's news?

For those in the EU. if you would ike to download the classic games ( highly recommended for the lost vikings ) change your region in the download screen to North America, download then change it back.

Thank you!

Wow, look at those numbers on the quest rewards! So small! I love it.

Um... no. If you have 583 stuff, you will be able to use it far into the expansion, maybe to the 3rd and 4th zone. Quest gear is never based around the previous expansions heroic raiding, instead it is based around the ilvl of players who just dinged 90 in the last expansion.

Hunter (Forums / Skills / WoD Talent Calculator)
1%. Tank is dead. DS. Disengage. Deterrance. FD MD pet. Kill shot! Kill shot! Win! That WAS a thing back in LK
But alas, Usso hasn't been able to taunta raid bosses for quite a long time now. (WatcherDev)


Are the devs really that freaking stupid? I personally STILL use distracting shot on some encounters in SoO...such as the grunts on the Galakras encounter. Not to mention it also helps get the fracture guy off of Jaina or whoever is back there. It *helps* the tank and the raid, I don't find it to be an "extra button" and completely "useless". So far, I'm rather disappointed with the abilities they are taking away from hunter come WoD. I'm willing to give it a shot, but holy shit, they just seem like they are getting a bit out of control. Removing Scatter Shot too...that has been a staple since Vanilla.
sigh....I'm starting to think they want WoW to die off. - just my opinion
