BUMP TO RUMORMONGER!

People who are examining the game data constantly have noticed that the Halloween masks in the game data have four odd new additions in the latest PTR build. They have added male/female Goblins and Worgens.

I read about this. Two problems:

1) There's no way they're releasing the expansion before Halloween.

2) The Worgen masks - the male one, at any rate - is a cat, not a wolf.

To say nothing for all the lore that says goblins will never, ever, under any circumstances, pick sides again.

1) Obviously.

2) Learn 2-D imaging. At the risk of sounding like an absolute nerd, it's clearly a wolf. The game data even has it listed as "Wo" (Goblin is "Go").

I must say though, that I just flat-out disagree with characterizing both worgen as alliance -and- goblins as horde. Both of those claims are just wrong.

i very much agree with ya on this one. I personally think they will be playable as both but who knows.

I'd rather have a hero class with a healing tree rather than another two races.

Tinker/Alchemist for next hero class

Re: World of Warcraft

I'm thinking no. Why would a profession become a hero class?

In better news, I hit 6k achievement points. Following that, I got Wrecking Ball. It was damn hard just to set up. Had to get one of those AVs where we fight endlessly at every choke point the Alliance has (seriously why is this map so imbalanced it's totally unfair). Without dying, of course. It meant being far less aggressive than I normally am, which also usually means a loss. Forcing their hand on something you want them to do to distract them is how to win BGs.

Anyway, so it gets to that point in the fight and I haven't died so I put it on the old achievement tracker and start racking up the kills. Once they saw me get the achievement, they all ganged up on me and I died in the space of a second. It was pretty funny. I ended up with 41 killing blows in the battleground and 200 HKs.

Re: World of Warcraft

I'd actually like something completely ground breaking in this new expansion. New races and classes are nice, but pretty much MMO has already done that. By groundbreaking, I mean something as amazing like the introduction of flying mounts or arenas in BC. Sure, there were already several MMOs that had flying mounts and arena style PVP, but, well, they just weren't as fun to play as WoW and didn't have the some revolutionary feel with the release of BC.

Also, Blizzard said something about needing a lot of time to introduce a new class. A lot of effort into balancing the classes has to be done every single time they do so and they don't think it would be feasible if they introduced a new class every expansion.

Re: World of Warcraft

I don't really think flying mounts were that revolutionary. Basically all they are is a way for people to bypass terrain. When battlegrounds first came out, onyxia, etc.

Then BC came out, and I have to say probably the best and most revolutionary feature BC had were heroics. Those were amazing.

Re: World of Warcraft

what would be revolutionary would be adding pandarens as a playable race Pandaren Brewmaster to be exact

[Squeek]

Re: World of Warcraft

Why do so many people want pandaren?

They're dumb. I hope they're never in the game.

And how the hell is that revolutionary? +1 race is not revolutionary. It's standard. Revolutionary would be like adding end-game raids that you solo. Revolutionary would be underwater travel or playing the game in the parallel universe of the Emerald Dream, where none of the conflicts that have occurred in Azeroth have happened.

Re: World of Warcraft

The first time I even took flight was amazing. Leave me in my corner!

Aside from the new styles of quests, WotLK brought very little new things to the table. They were mostly improvements on the old.

Hi mounted combat, how are you?

Strand of the Ancients, Wintergrasp, numerous quests, DK starting zone, dungeons, raids, etc. All with mounted combat.

I'd say that's a big change.

Re: World of Warcraft

im just looking forward to wintergrasp not being a damn lagfest
