At blizzcon. Played goblins for about 15 minutes and they were much more fun than I anticipated. The racials are insane, 1 minute mail box, rocket barrage, rocket jump, faster swim speed...pretty fun if you can look past how goofy they lock.
My gf was playing the worgens next to me and their zone looked much more polished and the animation from human to worgen is leet.
I caught the second half of q and a and the coolest stuff I heard about was reforging where you basically re-itemize the stats on your gear. With crafting professions you can level in fives with tougher to craft items.
Reforging to me seems like its really going to customize toons so much that looking at a spread sheet, ej etc might not be beneficial anymore. Ill update other things later.
Anyone else think that this exp looks like ugly balls so far? Goblins and Worgen look like absolute shit, as does most of the annihilated old world (seriously, more of the same fire elementals? fuck me). Gilneas looks awesome, almost like a different MMO, and yeah they did make it sound like we'll still be fighting the Lich King while this happens.
I dunno, so far not that excited (which sucks because I was balls deep into TBC and pretty damn jazzed for WOTLK).
Goblin Paladins would be fun. Retarded, but I'd make one
Each starting experience will be presented in a fashion similar to the death knight starting area in Wrath of the Lich King, and these starting zones will make extensive use of our new phased-terrain technology.
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.
Amen It's not that it will matter much, but after 4.5 years of the same main some change is good. Goblin priest inc.not expansion related but in an interview a guy from blizz states that they do want to allow same-faction race changes down the line after cross-faction
Hearing some shit down the pipe that are in the Q and A Cataclysm panels from the blizzcon casts isn't boding well.
i recognize the letters, but making out the english is rough. Anyone got a dumbass translator?
Who won the sound-alike and dance contests? DTV decided that we shouldn't see the rest of it and cut it off early.
