World of Whorecraft: Battle for Asseroth

[Metro]

If I remember right just keep hitting 1-1-2 for the best damage while on the dragon.

 

[Israfael]

My solo trip to Champion of the Frozen Wastes is going well... except for Malygos. All goes well until he rages (six minutes jesus fuck) and murders my dragon. Any hints on him?

You have to bring him down to 20-30% before he actually goes into last phase. If your dps is low enough for 25man, that can be tricky. Try 10man if it doesnt work out in 25m

 

[Angthoron]

Just ask on Trade, get a couple of people that want the achievement.

Unless it's important for you to get it all solo, in which case, get better gear. Not really hard unless you happen to possess my levels of luck.

New expansion's launching Nov 13th

 

[Avellion]

The game showed off its intro cinematic.

I was going to announce the release date but Keshik beat me beat me to the punch.

Here is the rest of the stream in case anyone is interested.

[Cyberarmy]

Meh, Blizz lost its touch about cinematics.

 

[Zed]

I thought this was p. good. The actual Kargath thing, not the shitty stuff before that.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

"We will never be slaves!!!11"

 

[Bahamut]

Meh, Blizz lost its touch about cinematics.

Wrath of the Lich King cinematic was when Blizzard officialy jumped on the shark for me

"We will never be slaves!!!11"

They forgot the "FREEDUMMM" part

 

[Keshik]

WoTLK's cinematic was the best. This one was just boring, Orcs, meh. Granted this entire expansion is going to be Orcs.

However, Guld'an's voice was pretty cool though

 

[Don Peste]

The Kargath video was quite ok. Sadly this is going nowhere.

 

[Martius]

Meh, this expansion should be just called "What if".

I agree: the cinematic of WotLK was brilliant: the contrast of the song and the speech by Arthas' dad to his actions as the Lich King made for a very strong cinematic. Just look at the lyrics of O Thanagor (the song in the cinematic):

Long live the king

May his reign last forever

May his strength...

Fail him never

Was nostalgia-kewl for the first thirty or so seconds then it got way over the top. Gromm manning that whirling death ball thing like Cuba Gooding Jr in Pearl Harbor.

I like that they showed some of the technology that Garrosh brought back from the future. It is also a call-out to the last raid encounter of the previous expansion. A valid argument could be made that said weapon in said encounter was a little silly, but overall it was a well-planned cinematic.

The end of it even has a direct callback to the WC3 cinematic that shows Garrosh saving his father from Manneroth's demise, something Thrall failed at.

All of that is true... even though liches and kings are way cooler than orcs and warlords.

 

[set]

An expansion that removes content. Well, it worked the first time, I guess it'll be a smashing success a second.

Final Boss
Grommash is the final boss of Warlords of Draenor.

Oh no. I bet he will be DEMONICALLY INFLUENCED/ENHANCED in the end, the same way Garrosh was with the Sha.

Legendary Items
Warlords of Draenor will have a questline for a legendary ring that begins aat level 99 and is less grindy than the Mists of Pandaria quests.
The legendary ring will have a visual effect so that players can show it off.
It is very likely that there will be legendary items other than the ring from the questline.

Another expansion spanning Legendary quest, that wasn't well received by most people last time.

 

[Metro]

Narrative-wise it was clear they were running out of gas in Cataclysm. Panadaria and WoD reinforce they have no clue where they want to take the overall story. Of course most of the people still playing don't give a rat's ass about the story. Maybe in two years they'll finally get to Azshara.

 

[shihonage]

I expect that there's a runaway porno somewhere out there named "World of Cockcraft" and its storyline is still 10 times better than that of WoW.

Legendary items would be a lot more useful if they didn't lose their viability the moment the next expansion hits.

I mean, how many people have you seen use Shadowmourne or Dragonwrath in high-level Pandaria? That's nothing to say about the Warglaives, Sulfuras of Thunderfury...

They should scale with the player's level; all the way to the cap and not to like 80 like those heirlooms do.

 

[Keshik]

Well, Garrosh on Heroic drops 90-100 heirlooms that are like legendaries, so maybe they'll keep that moving forward.

 

[Avellion]

So it seems like Blizzard are considering WoW2. Assuming it gets developed, which it probably wont, I would hope that one wouldn't end up being butthole cancer like the last few expansions were.

[Lyric Suite]

It will. Blizzard fucked both Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3. What makes you think they are going to get WoW right, particularly now that the original main designer left? Blizzard is no more, it has ceased to be, it has expired and gone to meet its maker. Just deal with it.

 

[Metro]

What would WoW 2 entail? Same shitty mechanics with a better graphics engine? And then where do they come up with the content? Do they just rehash base Azeroth?

 

[set]

There is currently no incentive to create a WoW2. It is just cannibalization. WoW, once it goes f2p, will be a cash cow.

It would make way more sense to make a World of Starcraft, with completely different mechanics - or do what Blizzard has been doing, by creating cheap side-projects like Hearthstone that spurt out money from retards.
