So they've announced that there will be 5 man dungeons in Wrath of the Lich King. I took this as very good news as they really haven't done a 5 man dungeon experience since Dire Maul. This should make it zero problem to get a group together. There will be of course 10 man dungeons and 25 man still :)
Frostmourne, a legendary sword will be available for players to acquire. Its obviously an extremely rare drop off the final boss and frankly since its a curse blade I'd wonder what blizzard has in store for it.
The new races are being fleshed out more with the Tuskaar, a Walrus like race allying themselves with the horde. I'm still curious if Alliance can speak with them but nonetheless one thing that seems important is fishing. They have a whaling society so I'm guessing this is Blizzards way of trying to force people to fish. The lousiest profession in the game.
Otherwise nothing else to report, have a good one folks.
I haven't had a chance to play the expansion yet...I am just going to comment on what I have read.
Essentially they are going to open up an entire new continent in azeroth...good its needed and earned. I will appreciate walking through northrend...and hopefully seeing some places I saw in warcraft 3. So far the environments are promised to not just be ice and snow which again I think is a good feature.
We've also been informed of a few new races we'll encounter such as a walrus race...an offshoot of the tauren, and a recently returned ancient race of giants apparently.
But on to what is disappointing me. The new class, the new profession, and the flying mount.
We are going to be introduced to the first hero class in world of warcraft. A promise that was made ages ago. The hero class is the deathknight. It will have very different powers and abilities then other classes being a hybrid. Its both a melee/tank and spellcaster though more on the necromantic side. It will be able to tank, however it tanks with 2 handed weapons only. The deathknight does not use a shield.
So what's disappointing? You do a quest to unlock the ability to create a deathknight but that's it. It will start out around level 58 or 60 but so what?Its essentially just another class to play. Its not a case of, I am a warrior, so I do the quest and then choose deathknight to become a warrior/deathknight which was what I was hoping for. To me it shouldn't even be called a hero class. Its just another class now.
The next is the new profession inscription...early rumours had me believe this would be the etching or scribing of runes on sword, armour, etc... instead you write scrolls to make new spells or improve existing spells. Ho Hum...welcome to everquest and every other game with inscription in it. It may still be fun, but I was just disappointed that they are cloning a well used idea I guess.
Lastly the flying mount. People scrounge, save, and work to get 5000 gold to ride their epic flying mounts. When they get to northrend, they can't use it. They are still debating what to do about it. Give us a quest to complete to do it or just not use it. Personally I think its time they opened up azeroth to flying mounts. Oh well.
Have a good one folks.
I enjoy http://www.lfgcomic.com as much as the next guy but even I find this disturbing...but anyway enjoy folks. Somewhere Walt Disney just rolled over in his grave :P
Funny but true :)
I realize this has been announced for a while but thought I might as well show you guys what the fuss was about :)
My character on Khadgar finally hit 70. Here's a pic of him on his new flying mount. Enjoy!
