Wait they are charging $60 for the expansion? That's laughable. $20 more than prior expansions and less content?
They must be joking.

I don't think I ever saw them say they were charging $60 for the expansion. Did I miss something?

No people throwing around $60 so much i thought price was set to that. Fine. Whatever. I figured passion expressed was over something in reality not idle speculation. My bad. Debate over nothing can continue.
EDIT: So confused.

From what I've read the $60 price includes one level 90 boost. The level 90 boost will also be available separately for $60. It's not clear yet if the expansion will be available without the boost at a cheaper price.

And if it's not $40, I have absolutely zero shot at playing it. I don't give a damn about boosting anything. I have two characters at 90 and that's all I have time for.

And in the ultimate expression of "Killing bosses & stealing their shit", DKs are now the Lich King: Defile Replaces Death and Decay Lasts 10 seconds. 30 second cooldown. Deals damage to all enemies standing in it. Damage and area increase by 5% every time it deals damage, maximum of 3 times per second. Enemies standing in your Defile deal 10% less damage to you.
Necrotic Plague Replaces Frost Fever and Blood Plague When Necrotic Plague deals damage it spreads itself to nearby targets and gains a stack. Maximum of 15 stacks. You gain 5 Runic Power when an enemy with Necrotic Plague deals damage to you.
Breath of Sindragosa Consumes Runic Power to continuously deal damage to all enemies in front of you. Enemies damaged by this breath are Marked. Targets with the Mark of Sindragosa deal 5% less magical damage to you. (Or SindraaaAAAaaaaAAAAAAAaaAAAagosaAAAAA)

I can't imagine the price won't drop to 40 in short order if they start at 60.

Oh how I hated that actress' voice. BE TRAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYSZZZ EWEEEEEEEE So are DKs really so under-represented now that they're getting buffed like this? I know they lost a lot of the fun to their play in Cata through MoP but there still seemed to be a bunch of them when I stopped playing last April or whenever.

I think it's just that it's easy to steal abilities for new DK talents that way, while other classes have to have abilities 'inspired by' - mainly because most of the "classic" abilities have already been given out previously (Avatar for warriors in MoP, for example).

I welcome the DK 100 talents. The 90 ones were horrid, and a poor choice for that tier compared to other classes.

The DK MoP talents in general were shit, since a lot of them represented choosing one of two things where you used to have both before. The talent system is the reason I left WoW and am unlikely to return.

Aaaaaaand preorders are now available. Also, 90 boosts are live in game for the reported $60 a pop.

I'd love to get a report on their sales for that upgrade, just to see how many deep pockets are still involved in WoW. Or if they are offended by this move.

I'm three levels away from 60 with my Monk. Gonna burn my boost on him for the profession boost.

Also, we have a hard-deadline of 12/20/14 for release. It could be before that, but it looks like they didn't wanna look shaky by putting up pre-orders without some kind of expectation for when people could play.

$10 more than previous expansions, with seemingly (from what they've shown) lower quantity & less interesting content, and with a content gap that will be longer than ICC. SoO launched in Sept and the ETA on the purchase page for this is Fall or potentially as late as Dec.

Yeah I don't really understand the higher price. No new race/class should mean a faster turn around time for a new expansion but it obviously isn't.

It's the "free" 90 boost. Again, for one (and for some people, they may only play one) character, you get to give the finger to the last 10 years of content, patches, and other fluff.
Aside from that, I wouldn't underestimate just how much dev time and stuff is going into the Garrison thing.

No, the expansion without level 90 boost is $49.99 which is $10 more than the Mists of Panderia standard edition price of $39.99.

My wife will want a CE but I'm willing to bet I can talk her out of it. I'm going to be skipping because I've realized I'm done. There's enough freemium games out there to support my MMO habit and they're equally engaging. If all you do is PUG raids, they have the same quality & difficulty as WoWs, as I've found in the last 9 months.

Incorrect. I just bought the 49.99 regular. It came with a level boost that I'm putting on my Monk right now.

That's absolutely insane. The expectation was that they were going to stop patching to move faster past the lag of the prior expansions. The expectation was they would have something out by summer at the latest. And now we're hearing that they are going slower than ever AND giving us less content? Forget it, there's no way I'm paying for that after being out of the game for over a year.

I have a hunch we'll be getting Ruby Sanctum 2.0 sometime late spring / early summer just to 'tide people over' until Warlords... with probably similar results as in 2010.

They may, but I just don't see it coming. Or if it does, we just won't care. I think something has completely come off the rails over there. Several people I know that worked there bailed, for reason that weren't clear, and the time gap here is one of the largest ever between content updates if it goes to term.

Well, "we just won't care" was what I meant by similar results I don't know anyone who was actually enthusiastic about Ruby Sanctum except for a small group of uber-raiders. But I bet they'll do something like that anyway just to say "here is your content, now shuddap!" edit: words

Wouldn't surprise me. I've suspected there's going to be fallout from the mothership for Titan not going anyplace. Autonomy or not, Blizzard's made enough mis-steps in the recent past I'm sure some shark in the hierarchy is using them to his advantage in some internal power play. They're just too large to avoid that sort of corporate bullshit anymore, particularly when a larger company owns them.

I don't think we ever actually downed it.

Well that was fast. I guess somebody over there did the math.
Promising "something" with no date and no idea WTF they are talking about isn't going to rile me up anymore.
