If the race class spoilers are correct, I'll be making a Worgen Rogue and Goblin Shaman. Book it. Done. I would be thinking the same choices. I'll have to think on it some more. At least I have a name for my Goblin saved already. |
Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

You know I always liked that tauren pic, there was a big stink about it when they took it off the main fanart page and I have to say there's a lot more explicit belf/draenei stuff on there. *edits previous post to replace merely risque pic with Tauren yiff porn* *includes innocent "adding NSFW tag, sorry" to explain the edit* *quotes your post about how you "like that tauren pic" for posterity*  Oh, and assuming all the leaked new class/race combinations are for real, I'll roll either a human hunter or a goblin... something. Now that they're giving the Horde some testicles again, why not? |

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/Official site is up, from the FAQ: Will I need the expansion to be able to experience the Cataclysm changes?
When the Cataclysm occurs, it will occur for all players, whether they have purchased the expansion or not--you will no longer be to play in the original version of Kalimdor or the Eastern Kingdoms. However, certain features such as the new zones, new races, and new level cap will only be accessible to players who purchase the expansion.

well, wow indeed. Good for them, huge changes. Have fun.
Edit: how do you all know this lore? I mean, folks complain about LotRO (deservedly), but this stuff seems way more complicated (more retcon).

I dunno, something tells me that somehow things will work out such that the two factions still split the world more or less exactly 50/50. Call it a hunch. So Varian's warmongering ways will result in no power gain whatsoever? Also, I can and should say that you were completely correct about what would happen. Bravo. |

Also, I can and should say that you were completely correct about what would happen. Bravo. It's all about who punks who. Garrosh was getting the better of Thrall when they broke it up, but the brief Varian/Garrosh scuffle was carefully devised to give no favor to either one. I had a strong hunch when I saw the first, and knew it when I saw the second. |

Fuuuuuuck.
I enjoy wow for the WC3-related bits. I'll run around, get lots of SSs of the world as-is and then quit after I've killed Arthas, I guess.
AAs in wow? Fuck that noise, half the fun is NOT having to play one character exclusively so you have x# of "required" AA abilities/ points. I can't see this being a good thing in the end.
The talent changes sound interesting, but they should have realized that 3 years ago when people were complaining about 'required' talents. At the least they should have done so with the last revamp when they ALSO said they were focusing on trying to remove 'required' talents.
Meh.

Okay, so I just watched the trailer. Funny, I was thinking all these years of playing WoW, I enjoyed so many zones that weren't all filled with lava and craters and chasms and OMG EXTREEM DESTRUCTION. And...okay so they poured lava and craters and chasms into every zone. Makes me sadf. I shall look for player-run classic shards when this happens.

some of those zones were very purty indeed. Actually, when you consider the palette and shaders etc. they have to work with many of those zones were/are incredible.

Hopefully they'll be increasing character slots too then.
WoW.com is reporting that there are no new character slots. As for the Path of the Titans stuff I doubt it's very much in the EQ2 vein. |

I think most(if not all) of the lava zone shots were the barrens. I believe only three-four of the revamped zones are actually finished.

No, seriously - when you said that you like Desolace you lost all right to complain about WoW's content. |

Have yet to see female worgen models, cause the lowbie preview allows only males, but the concept art was definitely hot, not unattractive like tauren, so I expect them to be more popular by far.

I think most(if not all) of the lava zone shots were the barrens. No loss there. That zone can die in a fire. Although I guess this means my Loremaster titles will be unobtainable on the rest of my characters. And with no more slots, they want me to get another account >( Any idea when all of this is supposed to actually be remotely kindasorta close to release? I know it's Blizzard and all, so I take it with a grain of salt. |

I figure sometime mid next-year. Icecrown should pop up around December, giving a good 5-6 months of farming that before moving on to patch 4.0.

Um, some minor stat changes in the pipeline.  |

In the current panel, GC is a nuclear bomb laying motherfucker.
-Arpen, spellpower, attack power, block value, defense, and mp5 are all going away. Mp5 is all becoming spirit, every tank is getting a -crit talent, attack power is just gone, block value is just gone, int raises your spellpower now, arpen is replaced with 'Mastery'.
-Haste will make melee regen energy etc faster, not attack faster. Works same as always for casters.
-Hunters are going back to Focus. No more mana.
There's more at the Usual Sources, but...yeah. No cow is too sacred.

Good times.
Glad to see stats that were basically added in as a for-the-hardcore afterthought late in BC (Haste and Armor Pen) are getting a full working-over.

They've been hinting at that for a while now. What with GC contantly being called on not knowing how it all relates and also saying, "Well shouldn't that stat matter for <class/ spec> as much as <actual required stat>" pretty often in the last few months. (I.e. arpen on Unholy DKs vs Stacking straight STR and crit)

The stat system was just getting utterly retarded.
My Balance druid has half a dozen talents that convert X stat into Y stat.

There was a brief glimpse of it during the slides they showed when they announced worgen at opening ceremonies. |

I think the best thing is that they actually made Worgen furries. Hilarious. I can't help but think what that meeting was like.

Technically they're less furry than Tauren, since Worgen can change back into Human form.  |

That just makes it worse in the end, since they'll just mix and match.

Very happy the rumors are true! Even though I've always wanted to play a goblin, I am pretty sure I'm going to roll Worgen right off the bat. I want to see Gilneas (which looks cool as shit so far) and do that whole storyline. The Lost Island isn't grabbing me, plus it will be chock full of har har Lost TV show references. OMG I bet there will be a hatch! Revamped Deadmines and Shadowfang Keep? Yes please! I've always wondered why SFK wasn't more popular. Strange we are only getting 5 new levels though. Path of the Titans makes me think 'solo raiding' for some reason. Whatever that means. Expect cockblocks aplenty! I'm a bit bummed that Azeroth is changing, I guess I'm one of those guys who enjoys hunting for Mankirk's wife over and over. But if they allow flying right off the bat it might help me get over it. Hate to have to join the genocidal Alliance, but what can ya do. |
