WoTLK Beta

[Correction]

Cool thing but kind of lame thing about Inscriptions is apparently you can sell them so if you don't wish to make a sacrifice on your main you can just level a mule to be an inscriber.

I always thought they were going to make Inscrips BoP to force people to actually get the skill to receive the nifty bonuses.

You haven't been following recent trends in Enchanting or Jewelcrafting have you?

[Krandor]

People with Inscription will get an extra glyph slot.

[Rivero]

Ah I never knew, sorry. : (

[aers]

Blizzard outdid themselves with the flavor of Storm Peaks.

Some people say blizz intends to release some the wotlk stuff to the servers.. end this month.. wut? O_o

Maybe next month sometime but this month, crazy!

[Krandor]

Those people are very likely being retarded and making things up. Some people on my server were bitching in trade chat that they didn't get the updated talents today.

[Scythiroth]

Jeez, people are impatient. o.O The only thing I really expect before the expansion comes out is that Arthas attacking Stormwind/Orgrimmar world event or whatever it is supposed to be.

I dunno about this month but they said they are adding the new talents, new/changed sub-70 abilities, inscribtion, hunter pet changes, etc. to live within a few weeks. I'm too lazy to go look for it, but someone from blizzard posted about it on the beta forums. Unless wotlk is releasing earlier than we think, it seems way to early to release this stuff mid-september. I would guess their intention is to draw attention away from warhammer.

[Krandor]

A month to a few weeks before Lich King goes live is most likely. Iirc 2.0 went live a month before they released TBC, so they'll probably do the same here.

[Bweigelt]

According to the Blue post they are adding The new talents, Barbershop, Inscription up to 375, Hunter pet changes, and even the new WOTLK arena's in the next month of so. But with the amount of stuff left to test in the Beta I don't know how they can release all that this early. There were even some Blue posts saying they are thinking of completely redoing the Warrior, Pally, and Druid tanking tree's. I'm guessing that "in the coming weeks" which was their exact words means that's when they are going to put it on the PTR. It's the only way to make sense of the announcement.

All the info is on MMO-champion which is unfortunately down right now.

[Rivero]

They never said when they were going to implement it just that they will do it like one month prior to the release I think. The fact of the matter is they still got way too much to test on the Beta, I wouldn't expect WotLK until October/November assuming everything goes out how they plan it.

Yeah they just announced soon some wotlk talents are going to be on PTR for testing, the beta servers probably overloading as is

They're putting 3.0.2 on PTR in a few weeks, it could be there for months.

Blizzard outdid themselves with the flavor of Storm Peaks.

I'd say easily the coolest/best zone in the game I've seen.

Also a good amount of unique quests so far. Watching people bounce around the minefield is too funny.

Also for people unfamiliar with Blizzard's terminology, "in the coming weeks" is basically their new version of Soon™.

I doubt 3.0 will go live before October, most likely mid/late October.

How are you guys checking out Storm Peaks? Did they open it on the beta or is it just sandboxing?


I also toyed around with Icecrown and learned theres a nifty bug where I got teleported back and had 100% run speed while no mount...I had some good fun in Wintergrasp with that. ; D

Edit: So I recently got back into playing my death knight and man frost spec is just pure crazy. I was doing like 3k Frost Strikes/4k Howlings. I'm pretty much just doing instances and using that to my rested most of the time advantage. : p

You can fly in and do stuff I hear, just some area's in storm peaks off limit.
Also when you die you get a flying mount to fly back to your body which is pretty nice.

I could of probably been lv 77 by sunday but the servers been going offline every 15min almost or lagging to some extreme all day/night so haven't been able to progress past Lv 73 really. At least rested exp is building up I guess?

[aers]

Nothing in Storm Peaks is offlimits.

[Gulkeeva]

Well at least ice Crown isn't offlimits to see, its pretty cool looking place

Don't even need a flying mount !

[Ramor]

[Elesirdur]

Damn, that's hella cool. Puts Castle Zahvl to shame.
