Cataclysm: You ask, we answer 7th Edition

worgen_ferocanis

After a week of forced break for holidays… we return with interesting questions and answers! Today's image has nothing in particular but I have not found anything in the Beta that is as funny as what I have shown so far ...

As we promised you a couple of weeks ago, we are going to answer the Cataclysm questions that you have asked us these days. They have been a lot so we have chosen a few that will be answered in this article.

Do you want us to answer your questions? Leave your questions through Facebook, Twitter, Comments and / or mail.

Oniryoshi I ask: Are many new reputations coming out in cataclysm? Are some disappearing or is the way to get reputations disappearing with some? Are there any new reputation achievements appearing? Any comments on reputations will be well received, thank you.

Dear Oniryoshi. As far as we know, the way to get reputation with none does not disappear but if we take into account Zul'Gurub, for example, it seems that the reputation with the Zandalar Tribe will go under.

For now, I can tell you that there are several tabards of various factions. I will try to list them all:

  • Baradín Guardians
  • Dragonmaw clan
  • Dragonmaw Clan PvP
  • Earth Ring
  • League of Explorers
  • Guardians of Hyjal
  • Therazane
  • The Reliquary
  • Tol'vir
  • Wildhammer Clan
  • Wildhammer Clan PvP

It seems there are a few!

New narratives of Race and Death Knights in Cataclysm in Spanish

Blizzard goes further with Cataclysm and what is an expansion, it seems more World of Warcraft 2.0 as the redesign reaches unsuspected limits.

We all knew that the new races would have new narratives but what we did not imagine is that the old ones too. All races now have a narrative that adapts to the current Lore so that it is not at odds (which is appreciated).

Here are the transcripts and audios of each race ... and of the Death Knights !:

Death knights

A hero is what you once were. You bravely stood before the shadows and acquired another beginning for the world with your life. The evil you fought against was not so easy to banish and the victory you claimed was not so easy to maintain. Now, the specter of death is once again looming over the world and it has found new champions to reach its absolute realm. Knights of Darkness who wield runes of death and destruction bound by the will of the Lich King. The hour of your ascension has arrived… The hour of your dark rebirth has arrived…

Cataclysm Artworks Gallery Included in Beta 12857

With this new version of the beta 12857, Blizzard has included in the Credits section, a lot of images of Artwork on Cataclysm. You may already know a lot about it but I'm sure there are things that you don't.

In this image you can see where the Artwork is located.

Perhaps the most remarkable, we have an artwork of the Tier 11 of Guerrero y Tier 11 of Hunter.

Cataclysm: New version of Beta 12857

launcher_12857-1

This version of the Beta is perhaps one of the most anticipated and shows that Blizzard is pursuing the launch of Cataclysm for 2010. This new patch weighs more than 1 GB and is now available for download. Due to the many new features (in all aspects) that it has, we will divide the information into several articles to make it easier to read.

We are going to list the most important changes.

Goodbye to Zul'Gurub

I still remember my Anonymous friend asking incessantly about Zul'Gurub in the minichat and his possible disappearance in Cataclysm. Finally, Alex «Valnoth» Afrasiabi announced that Zul'Gurub will disappear as a raid dungeon once Cataclysm arrives.

Now I wonder what will happen to him Swift Zulian Tiger or the Rapid Razzashi Rapture? It is not yet known if they will be moved to another site or will be mounts that can never be obtained again.

Zul'Gurub will disappear as a raid dungeon once Cataclysm arrives.

The rest you can see after the jump.

New version of the Cataclysm Beta (12803)

This past Friday, a new version of the Cataclysm Beta arrived on the servers. The 12803 version brings some adjustments to the classes, new achievements and some images that we wanted to share. Changes to classes are likely not to hang but the rest.

Here you can see that now, when creating a worgen, the human that we will be in the game appears behind us while we are not transformed. Presumably, the human will change as we adjust things to our Worgen but, for now, nothing is available to change it.

After the jump you have the rest.

Cataclysm: Tol Barad

In a recent Beta release, they activated Tol Barad and Twin Peaks for testing. It seems that Twin Peaks is still not too active for testing because so far I have not been able to enter ... However, I have been able to enter a few Tol Barad battles and, since many of you have doubts about how this new PvP zone works, I think it is interesting that you know the mechanics of combat in this area that arrives in Cataclysm.

banner_tol_barad

Tol Barad is an open PvP zone in Cataclysm. It is an area that bears many similarities with Conquest of Winter and at the same time with the Island of Quel'Danas. There will be PvP battles in the open in a very similar way to Conquest of Winter but at the same time it will function as an area where you can get daily missions like on the Island of Quel'Danas. Its location right now is a bit unknown. When it was shown to us at BlizzCon it appeared south of Hillsbrad and East of Gilneas, but the map we currently have in the Beta is not the same as the one we saw at BlizzCon. However, there are some islands west of Gilneas that could be those of Tol Barad.

Currently, there is no physical way to get to physics ... or to leave it. We will have to get through the queue and exit with a Hearthstone or with the portal of a gentle Wizard.

Tol Barad is divided into two zones:

  • Tol Barad - PvP Zone
  • Tol Barad Peninsula - Daily Quests for Level 85 Players

We are going to review each of the two areas.

Cataclysm Interview Summary at Gamescom 2010

If you like the world of videogames (beyond World of Warcraft) you may have been closely following what is going on at Gamescom 2010 in Cologne, Germany. Many things have been announced like Age of Empires Online or even new features of Diablo 3.

But let's get to what concerns us: Cataclysm.

Tom Chilton, the game's chief designer, has been there, and he has offered several interviews to various media, including Gamona y allvatar, both official fansites of the German World of Warcraft community.

Although it is true that they do not reveal much in any of the videos (except on rare occasions) I think it is interesting that you know a summary of what has been talked about in Gamescom 2010.

From Gamona we can extract a specific fragment in which Tom Chilton says: «Cataclysm needs "a couple more months" of work"Which in the language of Cervantes means:" Cataclysm needs 'a couple more months' of work ".

Although it is by no means a release date for Cataclysm, it is clear that there is a lot of work ahead but the focus is still on getting it out in 2010. I'm sure we'll see it after BlizzCon.

After the jump you can see more details about Archeology.

Do you like today's image? It is a curious bug (or not) that allows any member of your group to get on your mount. The funny thing is that it happens in curious ways and, for example, with the Engineer plane, the player who gets on, appears lying under one of the «legs» ...

As we promised last week, we are going to answer the Cataclysm questions that you have asked us these days. They have been a lot so we have chosen a few that will be answered in this article.

Do you want us to answer your questions? Leave your questions through Facebook, Twitter, Comments and / or mail.

Mario I ask: Is it true that in the new expansion the death knights tanks will be able to carry shields? Thanks

Hello Mario, it is also said that the Warlocks will be able to carry firearms to take down the Rogues or that the priests may wear plates to look more like a Paladin, but neither that nor the Death Knights is true: D. Blizzard has said on several occasions that they want each class to feel different in many ways even though the role they play is the same. That is why each Tank, although similar to the other in the basic mechanics, has so many differences with the rest of the classes.

dc_comic-con_11

New DC figures for World of Warcraft and Starcraft II

DC Unlimited has presented at the Comic-Con various World of Warcraft and Starcraft II figures. Among them are: The Lich King, a Death Knight who resembles the Black Knight, and a Balance Druid in his usual form.

Mumper clears up a few things about the Guild System

Since some of the Guild rewards were seen, many have complained about the "lack of exclusivity" of certain items such as the Phoenix. All of this has happened in the recently launched Guild Enhancement Forums on the Cataclysm Beta Forums.

Cory "Mumper" Stockton has been quite active there answering a lot of questions from the players and I think it's very interesting that you read them.

We're looking for as much feedback as we can get on the guild leveling speed. Use this thread to report any feedback you have. The more information you can give about the size of the guild, active members, and what you do to gain experience will be extremely helpful.

We know that not all ways to earn Guild XP (rated Battlegrounds for example) are active yet, but they will be soon. Feedback on how it works with missions / bosses will continue to be useful.

We will adjust the values ​​to get what we need until we think it is correct. Your input on this is greatly appreciated.

Now, after the jump, you can find some other questions related to guild items, rewards and experience.

Will you participate in the Bilgewater Cartel fight when the next expansion arrives?

The catch found after the jump belongs to Stormwind.

throne_tides_05

Cataclysm: Throne of the Tides

Today we are going to tell you about the dungeon of Throne of the Tides which, as you know, is located in Vashj'ir. The dungeon, as you can see later, is not about swimming but rather is an underwater cavern that maintains a livable and breathable environment.

The dungeon has 4 bosses and, unfortunately, we cannot assess to what extent it is a difficult dungeon or not since most people arrive with too much equipment and it does not become completely complicated so we will have to wait to see their version heroic to check this kind of thing.

However, in the filler monsters we can find a Naga that is a healer and that, if it is not eliminated / controlled, the combat will be eternal.

Here you have a video commented by our encad… most talkative reporter Topi!

After the jump, we are going to review all the bosses and, at the end, you can enjoy a small gallery.

Cataclysm Dungeon Maps and Raids

grim_batol_1

Today the thing is about maps. We have already shown you a composite map of Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms in Cataclysm and classic dungeon maps and raids that will arrive with the new expansion.

Missing? The Dungeon and Raid Maps of Cataclysm!

After the jump you can see a gallery with all the maps. As always, they are in English since Blizzard has not yet included them in Spanish in the game. Some of the maps are still missing, which I suppose will be yet to come.

We hope you enjoy them!

Classic Dungeon Maps and Raids

cave-laments

Blizzard is working hard to make the gaming experience on Cataclysm be your best. One of the things that came with the appearance of Wrath of the Lich King was the maps to the dungeons and raids, and the truth is that they were well received.

Although there have always been maps through addons, the experience it's not the same Than the one you get with a map of a dungeon where you can see where you are and if you are close to a boss or not.

When they commented that a lot of Cataclysm's work would focus on applying everything learned to The Burning Crusade y Wrath of the lich king to the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, few imagined that they were going to put maps in the classic dungeons / raids but finally it has been and the result is really good.

After the jump you can see a gallery with all the maps. As always, they are in English since Blizzard has not yet included them in Spanish in the game. Some of the maps are still missing, which I suppose will be yet to come.

We hope you enjoy them!

Composite Maps of the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor

I don't know if you remember when we publish a series of maps that appeared in one of the first versions of the Cataclysm Beta. There were most of the new areas and, of course, many of the old ones.

Through the IRC, we get an image made by solariel y love, something that they did for fun but that includes a great job of editing images behind. He has taken all the maps of all the areas and has put them together in a single image and the result is simply spectacular.

Eastern Kingdoms Cataclysm Composite Map

If you click on the banner you can see the full map of the Eastern Kingdoms. Notice that it takes a while to load since the weight of the images is quite high as you can imagine. The maps, unfortunately, are still in English as there are no maps available in Spanish ... for now.

After the jump you have the Kalimdor

Cataclysm Box Design

Jokes and Flirtations of Goblins and Worgen (male) in Spanish

With the latest version of the Beta, they have introduced many of the sounds that the two new races have (Worgen y Goblins) in Cataclysm in Spanish. Since Worgen are not yet available for testing, we do not yet have their sounds. Hopefully Blizzard doesn't get much more to beg and lets us test them soon.

Here you have the video of the Worgen:

After the jump, you have the one of the Goblins.

Cataclysm: New ambient music in version 12759

In this latest version of the Cataclysm Beta, 12759, many new soundtracks have been included. There are many of you who these days have been complaining about the sound issue and it seems that Blizzard had something saved.

Here you can see many audio tracks that the guys from World of raids they have prepared. In case you haven't heard it, don't forget to the music of the beginning, which has also changed.

Cataclysm: Guild Item Vendors in version 12759

The latest Beta update brings back some of the coolest guild features. Guild vendors have been added, near Guild Masters / Tabard Vendors in major cities that will presumably sell items with reputation requirements. There are new flying mounts, ground mounts, new Heirlooms, and much more. The problem is that most don't have any statistics yet.

After the jump you have a gallery with all the objects.

horseback_310

Cataclysm: Flight 310%, Mastery and Relics in version 12759

In this new version of the Beta, important new features have been introduced. These include: a new flying skill, the Beta introduction of the Master's degree and Armor Specialization and changes in Relics.

Riding Master - 310% flight speed

The new Riding Master flight skill allows us to learn to fly with a 310% speed. It is available from flight instructors for a price of 5000  (which can vary with reputation). It requires being level 80 and all those who already have mounts of this speed will obtain the ability for free.

horseback_310

Since there are many doubts, the original idea of ​​Blizzard is that this ability can only be purchased at level 85. Those who have a mount level 310% will have this ability for free while the rest will have to pay that amount of I pray to get the skill and all mounts they will be converted to fly at that speed.

You can read the rest of the changes after the jump.

Tol Barad, Cataclysm's new PvP and Daily Quest area, is now available for testing. We have been able to take some screenshots while the game is still downloading.

The graphical options menu has been completely changed. There are many more options available, such as the ability to adjust the FPS limit.

goblin_elemental_tuned

Do you like today's image? It is one of the pearls that we can find in Vashj'ir… The pinnacle of Goblin engineering! An elemental with a helmet so it can "breathe"!

As we promised last week, we are going to answer the Cataclysm questions that you have asked us these days. They have been a lot so we have chosen a few that will be answered in this article.

Do you want us to answer your questions? Leave your questions through Facebook, Twitter, Comments and / or mail.

ukky asked: due to the great growth of wow in summer (now I am noticing it more than before) does blizzard have any thoughts of restricting the chat that is sometimes really crazy? put that you can only send a message every 5 seconds or a maximum of 3 messages ... or if you spam many times the same thing they "mute" from the trading channel X minutes ... something for God's sake ... because from Wednesday to Monday the chat is disgustingly spamming about Everything here in Zuljin I don't know how it would be in the other places.

It's funny that you ask because, in the latest version of the Beta, a "control" of messages has appeared on the servers for the general channels. I'm sure many of you have seen the typical message of "I'm a blacksmith and with my hammer I do what I want [Smithy]" x100000 and then a message like "Oops ... I got out of hand." This is over.

Now, there is a limitation in the general channels (General, Commerce, Local Defense), no more than 3 messages can be sent if no more than 30 seconds have passed between the first message and the third. This will stop chatting so often on general channels and prevent people with an uncontrollable finger from spamming a profession (or group search) macro non-stop.

Cataclysm: Catch of the Day (and next day)

Cataclysm: Mount Hyjal Game Experience

hyjal_01

This is one of the articles that we have been preparing for so long. Well, truth be told, the article was written by Gaza quite a long time ago and it's the same that is in his Blog. The problem is that we wanted to supplement it with some audiovisual material and we had some technical problems to fix before we could finish the article.

As you can imagine from the name of the article, this article is about Mount Hyjal as an area in Cataclysm, its gaming experience and the story that is told in it. This article and its material have been created by several members.

  • Article written by Gaza (Perception). Corrected and adapted by belleros.
  • Videos commented by Topi.
  • Images Gaza y belleros.

This article (and your comments) contains numerous spoilers about missions and game on Mount Hyjal. If you don't want your gaming experience to be affected, we recommend that you don't read the rest of the article.

Uldum-3

Cataclysm: Images and Video of Uldum

Uldum-3

Since the arrival of the latest version of the Beta, Uldum it is accessible to players even if Blizzard has not pointed it out directly. In fact, and without going much into the matter, the area has a lot of work ahead of it. However, Uldum is one of those areas that as soon as you see it, you fall in love with it and it captivates you with the amount of detail in the area and how well it is cared for.

The care with which Blizzard is designing the area is very noticeable and we wanted to show it to you.

Our friend Torvalaar of the horde brotherhood (we also speak with the Horde if necessary) Medivh's Blade, has sent us a gallery of images of what awaits us in Uldum.

In addition, we have recorded a video with the entire area. In the video you can see all of Uldum. The paths where there is nothing to reduce the length of the video have been shortened (due to YouTube limitations) but it is basically all collected. I'm sorry that the video quality is not the best but there is an annoying bug in WoW video recording for Mac which has prevented me from doing it in better quality.

Before continuing, keep in mind that what you see in the images, in the video, and in the comments (wink, wink) may contain spoilers that you do not want to read or see, so we recommend that if you do not want this to affect your gaming experience, stop reading here.

Cataclysm: Advance of Azshara

Blizzard has decided to reveal to us exclusively (thanks Draztal), some content about the redesign of the area of azshara. As you know, it is now taken by the Bilgewater Goblins and that is something that shows. In this interview with Craig Amai and Dave Kosak we will discover the intentions of the development team with this zone.

Maybe you like to remember the Image gallery of Azshara in Cataclysm that we published a long time ago.

We invite you to delve into the mysteries of Azshara with game designers Craig Amai and Dave Kosak, who have chatted with us about the Horde's northward expansion and the rise of the Bilgewater Cartel, as part of our World of Warcraft coverage. : Cataclysm. Adventure, conflict, and, of course, profit await all those who step into Azshara's new reinvention!

P. What was the original concept for the area?

R. Azshara has always been somewhat empty in terms of content, so our original plan was simply to fill in most of the unused space and then take some of the multi-zone missions and move them entirely here. The area itself was a bit like a blank canvas, so this approach seemed the most obvious from the start.

As we discussed the objectives for the general flow of Kalimdor, we began to give a lot of consideration to when, where, and how goblins would be introduced to quest the continent. We realized we were in something of a dilemma, because at the time, four of the six races of the Horde were going through the same level 10-20 experience in the Northern Wastes. That's when we decided to feed back Azshara as an alternate zone for Horde characters between levels 10 and 20 and make her a goblin hub.

Naturally, once the goblins were involved, let's say things were blown up.

P. Who will use this zone (what levels / faction)?

R. Azshara is designed for Horde characters levels 10-20. Goblins are encouraged to do quests in this particular area because it expands their story and sheds more light on some established characters. Orcs, trolls, and tauren will be able to choose between Azshara and the Northern Wastes, based on their personal preference. (A secret: Choose Azshara!)

Cataclysm beta key winners by songs

Good morning everyone! Were you waiting for the winners of the contest? Well here they are! However, we have made some changes to the contest that I believe you end up liking.

After thinking about it for a long time, especially after seeing the creations of some, we thought it would be better to raffle 5 beta keys and give another 5 to the ones we like the jury the most, so… everyone benefits! The first thing we have done is distribute those 5 to the ones we like the most and we have taken them out of the draw so that they do not interfere with anything. It has been hard, it has cost ... but finally the winners for the best songs chosen by the jury of Azerothvisión are:

  • Brynn - Lady Gaga (Bad Romance)
  • nomadsoul - Paulina Rubio (Not a Single Word)
  • Francisco Javier - Toy Story (There is a friend in me)
  • Marc borras - Shakira (The Wolf)
  • Zaid - Rama Lama Ding Dong

On the other hand, the winners by draw have been:

  • Forward - Molotov (Puto)
  • George - Wizard of Öz (Raise your beer)
  • kaledryl - Mulan (I'm going to make a man out of you)
  • pikichin - Nino Bravo (Free)
  • Angel - David Bisbal (Ave Maria)

Congratulations to all! It seems a lot to us to post here everything you have sent us so we will only post those of the winners.

We want to highlight the quality of many of the songs that you have sent us and that have made us laugh and enjoy them. We want to make one of the special mentions to Argentum, Crucible of Souls teacher who decided to withdraw his participation after seeing that his brotherhood had been awarded 10 beta keys by Blizzard's beta contest for brotherhoods. It seemed to us a gesture that says a lot about him 😉

As a curiosity, we have had songs from Digimon, SpongeBob (2) and the one that has been repeated the most is Shakira's Waka Waka.

Winners will receive an email throughout Tuesday with instructions to activate their Beta. Stay tuned for the mail.

All the creations are after the jump and we are only going to hang the ones that have won. I hope you have enjoyed the contest and the songs as much as we did, there are some that are really worked on and the truth is that we would have liked to give more keys but we reserve it for other contests.

With the version introduced last week, the 12694, Reforja arrived. It is one of the unknowns that many of us had since it was announced and today we reveal how it works. I know we're a little late but between the contest and that it was necessary to reinstall the beta completely, I preferred to wait until it was fully available and to be able to test it.

Reforge is a really simple process: You have to visit Ithurian Whitespear in Stormwind next to the Stormwind Dungeons. If you get lost, it is best to ask a nearby guard for the closest Thaumaturge. Horde characters will meet the Enchanting Farendin in Orgrimmar's Circus of Shadows. If we talk to the NPC he will ask us to give him an object that we want him to reform. Now we will see that it allows us to select a series of statistics that you want to reduce (it does not leave you everything) and once selected we will see what we can increase.

In the captures I have taken, you can see how I remove Critical Hit Rating to give me Mastery of the item Faerlina Madness. If we click on Reforge, it will make the changes for the established price but we can click on Reset to leave the object as it was.

You can see all the captures after the jump.

Darkshore Preview in Cataclysm

Blizzard offers us a preview of one of the most affected areas in Cataclysm, Darkshore. In this interview with the game designers louis belly y Craig amai we can see the reasons why they redesigned the area from scratch.

You can find more images of Costa Oscura in its gallery.

dark coast_26

In this World of Warcraft: Cataclysm content sneak peek, we sit down with World of Warcraft designers Luis Barriga and Craig Amai to discuss upcoming changes to the Darkshore landscape, the fate of Auberdine, and the challenges ahead. those who faced redesigning, from scratch, an ancient part of the world.

Q. What was the original concept for this area?

R. Darkshore was one of the areas most affected by the cataclysm, so the main idea was to have an area that had been destroyed by the events. In terms of history and aesthetics, that was the approach we took for its redesign.

In terms of gaming experience, our goal was to take advantage of the changes in the environment and use them to solve previous problems with the quest flow. It was a good opportunity to streamline progression within Darkshore so that the player experience would be much smoother and there would be less of a need to rush around.

After the jump you can read the rest of the advance.

Cataclysm: New version of Beta 12694

new_launcher_12694

This morning we woke up to a new version of the Beta, the 12694 to be more exact. As already we had warned, it is necessary to uninstall the Beta and reinstall it to be able to play it. You can read more about the subject at this article and review the frequently asked questions about the new Launcher.

But… He wasn't just going to have a new launcher! not? As the new versions are used to, it has quite a few changes for the classes. It seems that they have finished with the witcher because he does not appear anywhere.

Do not miss the changes in the patch.

Cataclysm: You ask, we answer 4th Edition

ss1315

As we promised last week, we are going to answer the Cataclysm questions that you have asked us these days. They have been a lot so we have chosen a few that will be answered in this article.

Do you want us to answer your questions? Leave your questions through Facebook, Twitter, Comments and / or mail.

How does the new combat system work in the water?
I've seen videos where you could walk in the background, is that the new system?

The new combat system in the water is… just as I imagined it. Although we have a video on the way to better explain the system in the water, I think that with this explanation it will be clear to you what the system is like. If you've ever done a killer whale-killing mission in Northrend or a Trillanodon in Redridge Mountains, you'll know how it works. The only difference is that you swim faster and you never need to go out for air. The monsters are positioned in the three dimensions and not as before they were on the ground plane and, if you attack them from afar, they will swim towards you. It's easy and intuitive, believe me 🙂

Creative contest for Cataclysm Betas

I know you've been waiting for a few days but another contest to get the Beta is here.

We have done two contests (Facebook y Twitter) in which the base was the luck of a normal contest. We have made the contest for comments on the History of Warcraft (although with its little problems). As I have already commented on several occasions, the contests will have different objectives to be able to distribute the keys well and will have different schedules for people who work at certain hours if they cannot participate in a contest they can participate in others. Now it's time for a contest for the most creative people with FIVE keys in play ...

Cataclysm Creative Song Contest!

Are you already nervous? Don't run yet and read the rules carefully. You have plenty of time.

When?

From now until Monday at 14:00 p.m. (peninsular time).

How?

Using all your creativity. You have to write a parody of a song changing the original lyrics for a funny lyrics about the coming Cataclysm. The song must be known and the lyrics have to be related to the theme and be apt (what is being apt? Read more frequently asked questions below). You must indicate which song you have made the parody of.

There are five keys at stake, four will be distributed by lottery among the songs that we have considered valid. And the last one for which we have chosen among all the members of GuíasWoW as the one with the most talent (she can be funny, dramatic...).

It is not mandatory to send us audio or video of the song, but we are sure that this way we will have a lot more fun, which is ultimately another goal of these contests. If you don't know how to upload the audio or video, don't hesitate to contact me at naini@guiaswow.com and I will help you in any way I can (Note: I will not answer direct questions about the contest, that is what the comments on this article are for).

¿Donde?

Cataclysm: Stranglethorn Vale Gallery

This Night Elf who writes has managed a trip to the center of the jungle of Stranglethorn, and I can assure you that it has not been easy, I have been hungry, I have cried, I have dodged many trollz arrows, but anyway, I have achieved what I wanted a photographic report of the changes that occurred after the cataclysm in the wild jungle of Stranglethorn.

After the jump you can see what he's been bleeding for the last week.

What do you think of the aesthetics of this race created by the Titans?

The rest of the screenshots of the expansion, which you can see after the jump, belong to Celestial Wall.

Chromie_y_Topi

Cataclysm: Zone Change

Chromie_y_Topi

From today, and until the Beta lasts, I will be posting articles about the changes, but yes, they will be rolled. I personally love to role-play and write short stories, so I prefer to do it that way, since so many things have changed. In today's story, no new area will be discussed, but simply a conversation between Chromie and Topi. Notice! The mistakes in Chromi's verb forms are intentional, I have thought that by being in all times and in none at the same time, it will be a mess with what time is now and what time does he have to speak.

Cataclysm: Mastery System

If there is something that has been talked about for a long time, it is the Mastery system and about which, until now, there was not much information. Blizzard has changed a lot about Mastery and we are sure that we still have many changes ahead of this system. However, in the latest version of the Cataclysm Beta (12644) we could see as some "talents" appeared that improved as our Mastery Index did.

In the equipment we find in Cataclysm, we will find a new statistic (Master's degree) that enhances a particular effect associated with our branch and class.

Here you have all the masteries of each class and branch:

Sorcerer

  • Demonology: Increases the damage done by your demon and the damage you deal while demonized by 12%. Damage increases with Mastery Rating.
  • Destruction: Increases all fire damage you do by 10%. Damage increases with Mastery Rating.
  • Affliction: Increases all periodic shadow damage you deal by 13%. Damage increases with Mastery Rating.

Death Knight

  • Blood: Each time you heal yourself with Death Strike, you gain 50% of the amount healed as an Absorption Shield. Absorption increases with Mastery Rating.
  • Frost: Increases all Frost damage dealt by 20%. Damage increases with Mastery Rating.
  • Profane: Increases the damage done by your diseases by 20%. Damage increases with Mastery Rating.

Hunter

  • Beast Master - Increases the damage dealt by your pets by 20%. Damage increases with Mastery Rating.
  • Marksmanship - Grants a 16% chance to deal bonus Fire damage equal to 80% of normal damage. Probability increases with Mastery Rating.
  • Survival - Increases all elemental damage you do by 20%. Damage increases with Mastery Rating.

Shaman

  • Elemental - Grants a 20% chance for Elemental Overload to occur. Elemental Overload causes Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, or Lava Burst to trigger a second similar spell on the same target at no additional cost, dealing 60% of normal damage and no threat. Chances of triggering increase with Mastery Rating.
  • Gets better - Increases all elemental damage done by 20%. Damage increases with Mastery Rating.
  • Restoration - Increases the potency of your direct healing spells by up to 20%, based on your target's current health level (targets with less health will be healed more). Healing increases with Mastery rating.

The rest is left after the jump ...

Cataclysm: The New Stormwind Dungeons

storm_dungeons_banner

While Blizzard has made clear their intention to change and update the old dungeons before, we were caught by surprise with the update to the Stormwind Dungeons. An update to Stratholme or Scholomance seemed urgent now that the Lich King has fallen. But… from the Stormwind Dungeons? Yes! And now it's even more epic! This 5-person dungeon found in Stormwind City is sure to bring memories to many. Alliance players.

Let's see the official description of the dungeon:

The Stormwind Dungeons is a high-security prison complex hidden under the Channel district of the city of Stormwind. Presided over by Warden Thelwater, the Stormwind Dungeons are home to petty bandits, political insurgents, assassins, and a collection of the most dangerous criminals on earth. Recently, a revolt led by the prisoners has created a state of pandemonium within him; the guards have been unable to contain them and the convicts roam free. The warden has managed to escape the containment zone and is currently enlisting courageous thrill-seekers to venture into the prison and assassinate the leader of the uprising: the cunning thief Bazil Thredd.

In order to! If you do not want us to reveal part of the story, it is better that you stop reading here and now. If you are still interested, you can do it after the jump.

Cataclysm: Lore Quiz Beta Key Contest

Nervous? But nothing happens! There are 10 keys at stake and participating is very simple. As we already wrote everything in the previous article, I think that I am simply going to copy and paste what appears in it.

It's simple. As soon as we see that someone answers correctly, we will update the article including one more question ... and so on until reaching a total of 10 questions and 10 distributed beta keys.

Questions must be answered in the comments of the article itself.

Names in English will not be considered valid.

We know that wowwiki will be the most used tool, but we must indicate that all questions have their answer in GuíasWoW. We would never put something you haven't been able to read here.

If the answer is a proper or similar name and is spelled incorrectly, eg Wrinn or Wryn or Wrin, the validity of the answer will be decided by the team. Please try not to make a mistake.

Once we have a valid winner, we will put it in the comments. If you see that you have not answered a question in time, try not to spam the comments with answers to questions that have already been closed.

It is convenient to note several things:

  • One person can only win one beta key.
  • Writing several comments with several users but the same IP will lead to disqualification from the contest.
  • Users must comment with an email valid since the key will be sent directly to those emails.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask them in the comments.

Note: As we have been noticing some nervousness in the comments and in the minichat we want to tell you not to worry if you do not win this time, there are more contests.

Where is the question? Of course… after the jump!

Cataclysm: Result of the draw on Facebook and… lore's contest

You may be thinking that it may be a bit late to announce the winners but the truth is that we announced them last night just after the draw in Facebook. The winners have been:

  • Rafa del valle
  • Sandra diago

Congratulations to the winners! They already have their beta keys active and working as I understand it.

Some asked us how we did the draws and… well, we did it as usual. Each participant is assigned a number and, through the random.org page, we generate a random number that tells us who the winner is. Easy right?

As promised, we bring a new contest. This time we have 10 beta keys up for grabs, so read the contest rules carefully.

new_model_malfurion

Cataclysm: New models in version 12664

In this version of the Beta that has been installed this morning on the beta servers, new models have been included and some, like the one from Malfurion, have changed. In this model we can see him as the Druids of the Claw of Warcraft III. I personally like it a lot and we are yet to see if they will give it a new model (otherwise like the crow).

  new_model_malfurion

After the jump you can see a gallery with the new models including a new set of dungeons. Surely it is one of those that we will use as an introduction to the Cataclysm Raids.

Cataclysm: Developer Interview Explaining the South Barrens Redesign

baldios_sur_01

Blizzard has sent us this interview that collects the reasons for the redesign of the Southern Barrens and that, the truth, they are really interesting. They are interviews with Dave Kosak and Roman Marotte and they bring us a preview of why this area changes so drastically that is in battle between the Horde and the Alliance.

Some of the most important advances:

  • The zone is designed for both Alliance and Horde characters in the level 30-35 range.
  • The Horde will see the fate of Camp Taurajo and the Highlands of Honor while the Alliance is attempting to maintain its acquisitions.
  • The conflict between the horde and the alliance make an area give a unique aspect to the area.

Chronicle of the Euskal Encounter 18

After the huge hangover left by an event of the magnitude of the Euskal Encounter, it is time to take stock and remember all the wonderful things that have happened to us there… and to write something about it.

basque_encounter18-03

It is a party for sceners, it is a party for gamers, for modders, and for any type of computer-related enthusiast. And, of course, for World of Warcraft fans.

There have been competitions, demos, conferences, promotions, network file sharing, discounted product prices, and a lot of geekiness in general.

First impressions of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty

Although Starcraft II It is something that is outside our coverage line (for this I recommend visiting our friends from Starcraft-ENG), I have not wanted to stop talking about its launch that, in case someone does not know, it was yesterday.

The truth is that it was a brutal launch worldwide. It is no longer only the openings at midnight throughout the world, but also the events organized by the company itself. Blizzard where you have been able to see professional Cosplayers, talks with developers and producers and of course, a good dose of Real Time Strategy.

Here you can check a video on the page of Starcraft on Facebook, one of the events:

I personally consider myself a starcraft fan. I have the first original since its launch and, as soon as its expansion appeared, I did not hesitate to get it. It has been a long time since then and the truth is that I had no idea what I was going to find when I installed the game and tried its campaign mode.

Do you want us to answer your questions? Leave your questions through Facebook, Twitter, Comments and / or mail.

Yandrak said:

What happens if you jump into the Maelstrom?

Well ... this is something that many of you asked and I ventured to do it. Maybe I should have read about what happened if I jumped into the Maelstrom but hey ... work is work ...

There is no invisible wall that prevents you from jumping into the maelstrom itself ... but there is no water either! When you jump you fall as if you had jumped from the top of the Dalaran sewer. You see the maelstrom itself in the fall (the orange whirlwind under the water). Then you fall and fall for a little while and end up on the "seabed" dying from the blow. I should have brought Resurrection Ankhs ... Now it's impossible for me to recover my body and I'm in ghost mode in the Maelstrom hoping that "someday" it will be solved ...

Moral: Don't jump into the Maelstrom. It is boring and dangerous.

Hunter: Pets in Cataclysm

Good morning / afternoon / evening, I bring you a new beta article, and how could it be otherwise, from Hunters!

This time it is about the changes applied to the pet interface, both the changes applied to the stables and those applied to the control and movement of it.

The first changes that we find are the changes applied to the graphical interface of the stables / Call pet in stable. Now we will see the active pets on the left, to change them we must go to a stable master. On the right we will see the remaining 20, to which we will only have access when we are talking with the stable master. Here is an image of the stable interface:

New loading screens for version 12539

With the arrival of the version of the beta 12539 from Cataclysm, some loading screens. Since we had never shown them all, we thought it was interesting to do so.

LoadScreenDeephlomDungeon

Here you can see the one of Stone Core found in To inflate.

After the jump you have a gallery with all the images. We have the Baradin Bastion (new battlefield). Blackrock Caverns, Blackwing Descent, Deepholm, Stone Core, Battle for Gilneas (Battlefield), Grim Batol, Grim Batol Band, Caverns of Origination, Celestial Wall, Throne of the Tides, Tol Barad, Twin Summits and a dungeon in Uldum.

Many of you have asked us about Deepholm in our mail. On how to access and others. In addition, curiously it involves a certain orc that you also usually ask us about. I hope this article clarifies your doubts to many questions.

But we do not like to gut history to anyone so, if you want to continue it is your responsibility. There are quite a few SPOILERS after the jump.

Cataclysm: You ask, we answer 2th Edition

Do you want us to answer your questions? Leave your questions through Facebook, Twitter, Comments and / or mail.

keltuzar said:

the battle system in vashj`ir underwater is already available in the beta from what has been seen in videos. how is it, how does the gameplay feel, advantages or sales etc.

It's one of the first things we tested in Beta, mostly for the novelty. I have to say that the gameplay is perfect except for one thing that I will comment on later. During the introductory missions in the area we will get our way of surviving underwater and an improved movement speed in it. Now, yes, we will have enemies throughout the plane and not only on the ground as we were used to until now.

whale_shark_cataclysm

The only problem that I see with the system (apart from the Whale Shark that you can admire in the image) is the disorientation that you can experience in some moments. It may be enlarged because the maps are not in Spanish and instead of appearing in English ... they appear in white!

there said:

How do you scale the objects that you get in missions and dungeons?
Is it true that at level + - 83 you will start to change your Tier10?

I think that an image worths more than a thousand words:

comparison_green_purples_cataclysm

It's a green item from the introductory Hyjal quests so I think your estimate falls a bit short. I think that at level 81 you can change a piece already. The novelty is that the items grant Mastery in exchange for other attributes, so it remains to be seen how it will work depending on the Mastery bonuses that they include in each class.

duck said:

I have a doubt, if there are going to be many elemental enemies, will the lightning shamans have a hard time due to the issue of immunity to nature damage, or have they changed that so that they can do dps?

I have spent the entire Hyjal with the Elemental Shaman and I thought that he would have problems like you but, except for some loose fire elemental that is immune to fire, I have had no problems. Roca is not immune to Lightning or Fire (in general) it is immune to fire so it allows you to use rotation as normal.

So far it is safe to read. The rest of the questions may reveal part of the history of Cataclysm to you, so do not read it if you do not want to find out.

Cataclysm: Druid - The Chicken Balance

The Druid has always been the character that offers the most customization, as it can fulfill the roles of ranged damage, melee, healer, and tank.

In this article, we are going to look at the main change of the equilibrium branch, the changes to eclipse.

First of all advise one thing. The beta, as you can imagine, is a bit ... screwed up. In the case of the druid, for example, we have a mess with the skills and the spell book. To give you an idea, for example, to revive this one in feral, Anger is in general (with professions), Lechucic Form is in Restoration… come on, there is a bundle of three pairs of murlocs.

#BlizzChat with the developers on Twitter - Part 2

twitter_64x64 Didn't I say this was going to show up yesterday? Well yes, but there are times when things get a little more complicated than desired and that's when things get delayed ... On the other hand ... it's super long!

Yes. We are talking about the second part of the Chat with the developers. The Part He focused on general things and in this we get directly into each of the classes. There are some that take more than others ... specifically the Paladins, they take the cake.

Q: What is the goal of redesigning the Paladin? How do you plan to change rotations, talents, etc?
R: All paladin specializations will use a new resource called Holy Power. Holy Power is stacked using Crusader Strike, Holy Shock, and a few other talents. Holy Power can be consumed to augment a variety of abilities, including:

  • An instant and free cure: Word of Glory
  • A buff to increase holy damage dealt: Inquisition
  • A massive melee physical attack for Paladins Retribution: Templar's Verdict
  • Divine Shield duration is extended by Holy Power
  • Divine Storm's damage is increased by Holy Power

We've also introduced new heals for Holy Paladins, including Healing Hands (an area time cure that applies to all players near the paladin), Light of Dawn (a 30 meter range frontal cone cure) as well as a new healing called Divine Light, which is similar to the Greater Priest Healing, and the new instant healing mentioned above, Word of Glory.

Note that many of the new skill names I've come up with on the fly, adapting as much as possible to what Blizzard tends to do with skill translations.

What do you want to know what happened to your class? Behind the jump!

Blizzard brings us the screenshots from this week. This one you see above is from Western Fells.

Common questions and answers about Real ID

With the introduction of Real ID, many questions have been raised about this new functionality. Here are the most important questions that were asked about Real ID in the 5th edition of the chat with the developers on Twitter.

Since the launch of the Real ID system in World of Warcraft®, we've received questions from the community about our plans for the service, features like the Facebook® integration in StarCraft® II, and how we see Real ID evolving in the future. We've been keeping up with the conversations on our forums, social pages, and fansites, and we've compiled some of the most common questions to answer here. We hope you find this information useful, and we look forward to your comments and further discussion in this thread. 

Q: Do you have plans to allow players not to show their real names to friends of their friends while using the Real ID system?
R: As with any new feature that we add to our games, we have been evaluating how Real ID has been used since its launch to identify new functionality that will help us improve the experience for our players. The "friends of your friends" list is designed to give players a convenient way to populate their Real ID friends list with other players they know and trust in real life, allowing them to find and submit requests. Real ID easily to those people without having to enter their Battle.net® account names. However, we are aware that some players would prefer not to appear on their friend lists this way, so we plan to include an option that will allow players to opt out of the Real ID “friends of your friends” list . We expect this feature to be available in StarCraft II shortly after the game's release, and in World of Warcraft around the same time; We will have more information for you in the next few weeks.

You can read the rest of the questions and answers after the jump.

#BlizzChat with the developers on Twitter - Part 1

twitter_64x64 How to Live Aligned with we already announce, this Saturday there was a Chat with the developers on Twitter, whose main topic was Talents and Mastery in Cataclysm. They have given so many answers to so many questions and they have offered some really interesting information.

However, it is a lot of translation work so we have preferred to divide it into two parts so that you do not have to wait so long.

The most interesting of this first part:

  • Q: How much will the new medium glyphs impact the pick fun factor in the new 31-point branches?
    R: Hopefully they add a lot. Part of the problem is, let's say, a Glyph of Maim, you'll think you should pick it as Assassination Rogue above all else. Medium Glyphs are designed to allow you to customize your character a bit more. They are glyphs that you would choose if Mutilate didn't exist.
    On the other hand, the new tiers are called Primary, Major and Minor. The Elders are the new Media. Glyph of Mutilate would be a Primary.
  • Q: Will the ability to run while shooting affect PvP or PvE fights more? What was the initial intention of the new skill?
    R: With today's encounters, doing damage while moving is doing something important. You will see many classes that we are specifically giving new methods of dealing damage while on the move. That said, damage from standing still casting spells or hitting a target should always be optimal.
  • Q: Do you expect someone, alters or new players to level up as healers? Do you think that specializing in Sacred or Restoration at the beginning is bad?
    R: We hope that leveling up as a DPS is always more efficient solely because killing things is faster than surviving longer while killing things. Also, we don't want the healing spec to be that good at killing things because otherwise the DPS spec would not play a role. Still, we think we can make leveling up as Healers a bit more "enjoyable" than it is today. Also, it will be much easier to use the Dungeon Finder to level up as a healer.

The second round of questions and answers is totally focused on specific class questions and we should have it prepared throughout the day.

Do not miss what the developers tell you!

Hunter: Stings in Cataclysm

Of the changes introduced to hunters, perhaps the most notorious is that of the Focus, but less known are the changes introduced in the stings. In this expansion they change a lot giving them a new meaning

After the jump you will see the changes applied to the stings.

new_battle_net-10

New Battle.net page (still Beta)

Attention attention. It is made known. New data screen and Battle.net functionalities are coming. Thanks to our tweeter we found out that the following existed websites. It is a version beta of the new Battle.net.

The changes that are seen in it are several. First of all, the most striking thing is that it is not a mere login page that precedes the management of the different accounts, as has happened up to now, but it incorporates links to the different games that use battle.net such as World of Warcraft, Starcraft II and Diablo III (announced to be in Development). Through these links we have access to forums, community page, contests ... everything related to the universe we choose.

new_battle_net-10

Navigating the Starcraft II universe, which is the one with the most advances implemented since Diablo III has not yet been announced and World of Warcraft has its own website, we can see the different options it has. It should be noted that for Warcraft all this will arrive shortly before Cataclysm. At a glance we will access the most important of the forums, we can make a personality test (I got a doctor ... healer to the core xD), different contests, forums, guides ... everything related to the Starcraft universe. And so with each of the universes.

Cataclysm: Mining Preview

baron_geddon_hyjal

Since my Shaman is a Miner, I dragged the pickaxe into the new zones, and to my surprise, the new materials were active. In addition, there is some post in the American forums from the times of Alpha and a lot of information on Wowhead about spells so it is easy to get a lot of data.

Like all professions in Cataclysm, Mining can go up to a level of 525. The new range is known as Illustrious Grandmaster and it will be necessary for us to collect the new types of minerals that we will find in Cataclysm. In addition, this new rank will allow us to reach Rank 7 of Consistency which will now grant us a not inconsiderable 120 Stamina points.

It's one of the most changing areas in Cataclysm. The Goblins of the Bilgewater Cartel have settled there and, to demonstrate their commitment to the Horde, have terraformed the area to… display the symbol of the horde. In addition, they have built a magnificent resort for the use and enjoyment of the local hordeños.

Cataclysm: Core Skills of Talent Branches

If you have read the release notes for Beta 12749I'm sure the inclusion of the new talent trees hasn't gone unnoticed. Although it is something that is explained in this article about Mastery, let's explain what happens when we reach level 10 in Cataclysm.

Here you can see the screen when opening the Talent Panel with a Shaman:

choose_specialization_chaman_cataclysm

It allows us to see all the trees but does not allow us to do anything. As you can see, it explains to us what abilities we will gain by choosing a tree. As soon as I choose one, in this case Restoration, they give me:

And all this ... At level 10! Isn't it cool? Well, there is something wrong with it. As you can see in the following image, you can only place points in that branch until you spend enough and it lets you go to the next one.

active_talents_cataclysm_chaman

Next, you have all the skills that the specializations will have in Cataclysm when choosing their branch at level 10. As you have been able to read in the notes, there are classes that are more advanced than others as you can see for yourself.

I hope you like them… it has taken us a while to translate them all so that you can enjoy them in Spanish!

goukonmage I ask:

The flight in Azeroth is a fact. Will I have to pay a plus? Approximately, what will its price be and what do they call it?

Right now it seems that it will not be necessary to pay any extra. If you have the ability to fly, you can fly in Azeroth. However, this may change as it is a bit strange that you have to pay to fly in Northrend.

Cataclysm: New version of Beta 12479 arrives

logo_cataclysm_small

A new version of the Beta has appeared. In this version there are some quite interesting changes such as the introduction of To inflate (deepholm) and the Western Plaguelands that can now be tested in addition to the new talent trees.

Here are the most important changes made:

  • Beta level cap is extended to 83
  • Deepholm (82-83) and the Western Plaguelands available for testing.
  • New talent trees! You may be interested in taking a look at the changes that were introduced in this article.

To inflate it is one of the four Elemental Planes. Home of the Elementals ruled by Therazane, the Stonemother. We must not forget that it was the place where Deathwing was banished for a long time. We will find many land based creatures.

You may wonder what has changed about the Western Plaguelands. Not too much speaking of clear terrain… Some areas have been claimed by the Horde, some by the Alliance, and some by the Argent Dawn. Horde and Alliance battle with what remains of the plague in Andorhal while Argent Dawn has returned to La Vega del Amparo and drove out the Scarlet Crusade.

New wave of invitations to the Cataclysm closed beta

I remember since it was announced that Cataclysm Closed Beta began, I was every two by three looking at my Battle.net account to see if I already had my long-awaited invitation. Like me, I am sure that there are many more because although an email arrives when you receive the invitation, many false emails of false invitations are received and the only reliable way is to enter our account from the url http://eu.battle.net

Blizzard knows about this invitation and therefore they have announced that this week there will be another wave of invitations for the Cataclysm Beta. In addition, it seems, they are considering a system that will notify us (or we can visit) when the invitations are going to be sent.

I'm not sure when the next wave of invites is, but I'll see if we can give a better idea of ​​when it will happen so that you don't have to continually check your Battle.net account. (Although checking it regularly is still a viable way to find out if you've got beta activated.)

Maybe some kind of accountant or something similar? We don't know ... But from what it seems, according to the subsequent messages from Lylirra, the intention is to send invitations every week on Tuesdays and / or Wednesdays more or less.

Chronicle: San Taurines 2010

I bring you today (with the hangover of the celebration 😉 the Chronicle of the San Taurines 2010 Event.

As we already warned you a few days ago, yesterday took place the bullfight of taurens San Taurines 2010. A role-playing event on the Shen'dralar server, organized by Alhema and her brotherhood Los Lobos de la Luna Roja. This is the second year that they celebrate it and I hope they do it many more times. Thanks to his brotherhood, he was able to make red and white clothes as in San Fermines for the young men and create many leather balls to give them to the taurens who would participate in the bullfight. In the official forum you have the event thread, where you can find very interesting links to videos, comics and the full size poster. And do not miss the website of Tauronids, a page focused directly on roleplaying within the game.

Belelros and I went to the corral of Orgrimmar, with sharp horns and clean hooves to participate in the bullfight. There were already enough bulls there waiting like us. They directed us to the city bank for a "fraternization" between the waiters and us, but ... who wants to fraternize? I want to gore them !!

There to everyone's surprise appeared Romiquo, a tauren with a very beautiful robe that apparently had magical powers. He dedicated a proclamation to us. Soon and next to him on a roof a gnome «Chupinaza» materialized who came to celebrate with us, but… soul of a pitcher! How can you come to a Taurens bullfight if you are a gnome ... and of course, it ended as it could not be otherwise, hurt and beaten.

After that the taurens returned to the corral while the grooms waited at the gate of Orgrimmar. There we get ready, Alhema, the young blood elf who had summoned us there for the party gave us some balls to throw at the waiters instead of eating them. But what is this?! Well, what are we going to do about it…

Our friend Romiquo tried to launch a fireworks to start the bulls, but the powder must have been wet because in the end he had to launch himself and explode in the air like a rocket.

And so the bulls went out in search of young men. Walking the streets of the city. The truth was, it seemed very short, I would have spent the whole afternoon goring ... I mean, throwing balls at the poor dupes who were around us.

The tour ended in the corral where taurens and waiters celebrated the event with all kinds of multicolored lights, normal that later at night I had a headache ...

And so the San Taurines ended, without having to regret any more harm than that of that poor gnome.

Now I want to thank AlhemaAgain, for inviting us and for treating us all so well, for knowing how to keep calm and order, for preparing every last detail and for attending me at the end of the event to take some photos and questions.

And after the jump, do not miss all the captures we made for you.

Cataclysm: Monkey and Fox are new Hunter pets

Just yesterday, Torvalaar from the brotherhood Medivh's Blade in Tyrande, he contacted us to put us on the trail of something that had passed us.

Changes to classic dungeons in Cataclysm

cataclysm_levels_classic_dungeons_1 cataclysm_levels_classic_dungeons_2

Something that has not been talked about much is the fact that with Cataclysm many of the classic dungeons are going to be tweaked. Some of them will see their level range altered. For example The Massacre, Scholomance and Stratholme are now lower level.

These level ranges are from the dungeon finder. The first value is the minimum required to queue, and the second is the maximum.

After the jump, the list of dungeons with each of their level ranges is displayed.

News on Class and Mastery Systems in Cataclysm

Blizzard just announced some exciting news about Class Systems and Master's degree. In summary, the number of available talents will be drastically reduced ...

What do you think of these new changes?

Update on Class and Master's Systems

At BlizzCon 2009 we announced our design goals for talent trees, and one of our main focuses was eliminating some of the boring and mandatory passive talents. In addition, we mentioned that we wanted the talent selection to be perceived as something more varied, fun and, at the same time, meaningful. A few days ago, we asked some fan-created websites to post information related to a preview of the Druid, Priest, Shaman, and Rogue talent trees, which are still in development. Based on these previews, and the feedback we received during the alpha testing of the expansion, we realized that the main reaction we got is that these trees did not really incorporate the design goals we announced at BlizzCon; This reaction goes very hand in hand with the perception that we have had for some time, that is, that the talent tree system has not matured properly since we increased the level cap beyond 60. Therefore, in a future patch In the beta, we'll unveil the bold redesigns of all 30 talent trees. 

You can read the rest of the news after the jump.

Blizzard responds to the Real ID situation

Blizzard has decided to speak out after yesterday's announcement, in which we were told that our Names and Surnames would appear in the forums if we decided to use them. That is, Real ID will reach the forums. Although this will not be retroactive (our posts written so far will continue to remain with our nicknames).

In the Blizzard forums (and also in the comments) you are already commenting on the subject, in the American the thing comes for more than 11,000 posts. Try to make the criticism constructive or you will earn a ban on top of it.

Will Real ID have a way to disable it so that we prevent our kids from posting on the forums?

You can establish a Parental Control that prevents minors from writing in the forums.

This is one of the complaints that many of you had and that, as you can see, is solved.

An important point that I don't think has been explained yet is that the change to show Real ID in the forums will only occur with the new forum system that we will launch in Starcraft II shortly before its launch, and the new forum system for World of Warcraft that we will launch shortly before the launch of Cataclysm.

All posts in the current World of Warcraft forums or any of the classic Battle.net forums will remain as is. They will not (and cannot) be automatically changed to show the first and last name.

All posts in the new forum system will be an option and a clear alert will appear that when writing you are showing your Name and Surname.

Finally, a clarifying message:

brotherhood_talents

Cataclysm: First Impressions of the Brotherhood Perks

One of the things that most caught my attention about Cataclysm it was undoubtedly the idea of ​​brotherhood talents. When I went to press pass in Irvine and I found out that they had been replaced by the sorority 'Perks' it seemed logical to me and I was dying to sink my teeth into it. Cataclysm Beta to keep an eye on them. Although I haven't had a chance yet, they have already appeared on Wowhead.

brotherhood_talents

I am very sure that these will change throughout the Beta (like everything). We also don't have much idea how difficult it will be to level up in the guild (and thus gain these perks).

I thought it would be interesting to take a look at these advantages to see how they will benefit us in the future. You have them after the jump and remember that the names are not official, they are approximate translations of what they mean in English.

banner_changes_foros

Forum changes are coming

With the recent introduction of the Real ID, there is also a renewal of the forums to reflect this new feature. The new changes will be present in the forums from July 27th.

banner_changes_foros

The most important change is that anyone who posts a message or responds to an official Blizzard forum will do so through their Real IDthat is, his real name and surname, with the option to also display the name of your main character.

The San Taurines 2010 are here!

Yesterday we received a pleasant surprise. An email from San Taurín, patron of the Bulls that I leave you here because there is no waste:

Good afternoon, team GuíasWoW

Some crazy people from a remote place who say it is called Shen'dralar, have decided to pay a little honor to the Tauren race through an ancient hunting rite almost as old as the world when the hunters of the plains had nothing but their antlers to defend themselves. Among us we know it as the San Taurines.

You are invited to the event, which was held a couple of years ago with a quite acceptable result (many will say spectacular, but tauren are known for our humility).

The rules and all the graphic material and other things that the Orgrimmar Marketing Agency has worked out in conjunction with the Mulgure Festival Assembly can be found in the brochure that has been posted by all the pillars of Dalaran.

Cataclysm: Weekend Captures

ss1373

Blizzard offers us the screenshots of this weekend and the following days. This one you see above is from Kezan.

What new kind of 'sport' do goblins entertain themselves with?

The rest of the screenshots of the expansion, which you can see after the jump, belong in order to: The Lost Isles, Gilneas y Stonetalon Mountains.

Cataclysm Round of Blues

The announcement of the Beta triggers the comments of the Blues that for sure, they have been holding back for a long time. Last night, they made some pretty interesting announcements that now, both Trolls and Dwarves can be Warlocks.

Since we only increased the level cap by 85 in Cataclysm, one of our goals is to bundle as much content and gameplay as possible in the new levels 78-85 dungeons and zones. We don't want the experience of leveling up from 80 to 85 to feel like there is half the content we offered in the last two expansions. So, item scaling and character power have been increased substantially with each level gained. At level 82 the characters should feel significantly more powerful than at level 80, for example. There are some epic and legendary raid items from Wrath of the Lich King that will take a while to replace, but your team will most likely be replaced on the way to level 85 doing 5-player dungeons.

The first rule of thumb, as usual, is that you probably look for the most important stats in your class. If you are, say, an Unholy Death Knight, you probably don't want to change equipment until the strength on the new equipment exceeds the strength on the current equipment, including gems and enchantments. On this occasion you will also like to include the benefits of the Master

We are trying to keep everyone with the same power at level 80. We want your Fireballs and Flash Heals to show roughly the same numbers before and after conversion.

Now, as soon as you go from level 80 to 81 all things will change and the numbers will start to change drastically.

After the jump you have more!

Cataclysm Lore First Details

First Q&A session with the Creative Development Team

Maintenance seems to be taking longer than expected (and desired). Do not worry! Blizzard has published a Q&A session on Lore for Warcraft that is interesting to say the least and is sure to keep those who can't enter entertained.

A few weeks ago a short quiz was posted on the American forums asking players to post their questions to the Creative Development team.

Most of the questions fall into one of four categories:

  1. Questions to be answered through upcoming content (such as the book "The Shattering" by Christie Golden).
  2. Questions to be answered through in-game content (patches 3.3.5 and 3.9.0, as well as the Cataclysm expansion)
  3. Questions that cannot be answered at this time as it would spoil future game and post content.
  4. Questions that you can answer at this time, at least partially.

Taking the questions from the fourth category, the CDev team met with Chris Metzen and Alex Afrasiabi to answer questions that they can share with us.

Q: What happened to all the Obsidian Scourge Destroyers?
A: In fact, the entities known as Obsidian Destroyers are Titan constructs; these were known as the tol'vir. The tol'vir were created to maintain the history catalogs and machinery of the Titans that surround the cities of Ulduar and Uldum. Shortly after the troll empires divided the kingdoms of the insectoid aqir, the aqir who traveled north discovered and overthrew the tol'vir society of Northrend. In time, these aqir evolved into the race we know as the Nerubians, who adapted the architecture of the tol'vir according to their purposes. Similarly, the aqir who traveled south looted and overthrew a Titan research station near Uldum, renamed themselves qiraji, and named their new home Ahn'Qiraj. Although the Scourge would end up consuming the Nerubian empire and sending its few tol'vir slaves to the front line of the army, it is possible that they still exist in Uldum, the hidden city of the Titans, or in the depths of what remains of Azjol- Nerub.

Q: The Silvermoon Blood Knights have no direction; none of them were present in Northrend and it is unclear whether the Order still exists or has been dissolved. It is also not very clear where the Blood Knights receive their power; Before they received it from the Naaru, but later it was from the remains of the Naaru, which have surely been consumed. Do we get our power from the Source of the Sun?
A: At the end of the Burning Crusade expansion, the Blood Elves who wield the Light do so through the power of the renewed Sunwell. This is a harmonious relationship and no longer one of discord caused by attempting to manipulate the power of the Light at your will; In the long run, it may have a positive impact on blood elf society. Stay tuned for updates reflecting this change to Silvermoon and Blood Knights quests.

Q: What happened to Frostmourne after it was shattered?
A. Although this is a well-kept secret, we hope they are discreet… no one knows where the remains of the Frostmourne are.

Q: Will we hear from any of the ancient or abandoned human nations in Cataclysm, particularly Stromgarde, Kul'tiras, and the remains of Alterac (hey, Deathwing walked around like an Alterac noble, right?)
A. Along with the redesign of the classic World of Warcraft zones, players will have the opportunity to see how the fallen nations of Stromgarde and Alterac have progressed in recent years. Kul'tiras, the island nation, will not be visible at the start of Cataclysm - something to do with the tectonic plates moving the island towards the sea ...

Q: What is the purpose of the "void" state of the Na'aru? Since it is a being of Light, it seems that the conversion to a very dark entity is a great weakness. Consuming souls and causing destruction simply through loss of strength causes a great decline in your holy image. However, perhaps this is the reason why they are not very active in combat, since their betrayal of their army by fatigue would be very bad for morale.
A: Since there have been three instances of this "cycle" that have been demonstrated at Nagrand, Auchindoun, and the Sunwell Plateau (K'ure, D'ore, and M'uru respectively), it is likely that players have had the wrong impression regarding the magnitude of such occurrences: it is EXTREMELY rare to see a naaru fall into a state of "void", and it is even rarer for a naaru that has fallen to return to the Light. The fall of a naaru to the state of "void" represents a catastrophic loss to them and to the forces of Light; Furthermore, it is one of the saddest and most heartbreaking events that the naaru can witness. In contrast, a naaru who has been born into the Light grants renewed hope and a sense of purpose to all naaru; If beings of energy could cry tears of joy, this is what would happen.

Q: What happened to Algalon after Ulduar? We didn't feel like he was going to go back to what he normally did.
A: As you can see from World of Warcraft Special Comic # 1, Algalon is currently monitoring the activities of the mortal races of Azeroth. His perspective on life and the plans of the Titans have been questioned, so he seeks to understand what distinguishes Azeroth from the countless worlds he has previously observed.

Q: Which Loa is worshiped by the Darkspear tribe?
A: Since the Darkspears were part of the Gurubashi empire, they still worship many of the same Loa that the Gurubashi did.

Q: What were Varok Saurfang's most notable accomplishments before WoW?
A .: Varok Saurfang has served the Horde from the moment he drank Mannoroth's blood alongside Grom Hellscream. Without losing a single time, Varok led the armies that plundered Shattrath, Stormwind, and everything else, until the Horde was defeated at the end of the Second War. When Orgrim Doomhammer took control of the Horde in the First War, he chose Varok Saurusfang as his second-in-command after seeing his brutal and efficient tactics on the battlefield. After the demonic blood lust was dispelled from the orcs due to Grom Hellscream's sacrifice, Varok helped many veterans deal with the atrocities they had committed and ultimately saved the lives of many great Horde soldiers. Also, there is a rumor that Saurfang sliced ​​three men with a single blow ... from his hand.

Q: How did the ethereals come to be so…. ethereal? They seem to act more like a mortal race than any other energy being we've seen, such as elementals.
A: K'aresh was an arid planet, home to a thriving ecosystem and various sensory species until "Dimensius the All-Devouring" came along. The ethereals who survived still hold debates regarding how the Lord of the Void found K'aresh, but the effects of his presence were unforgettable: he opened many portals around the planet, both into the Void and the Twisting Nether, permeating K'aresh with dark and arcane energies. Making use of all kinds of advanced technology, a mortal race quickly tried to build magic barriers around their cities, however, it was not enough; Although they succeeded in blocking the dark energies, the flow of arcane magic, unobstructed, broke the corporeal shell of mortals and infused enough energy into their souls that they could barely exist without the need for a body. Members of this race, now called Ethereals, wrapped themselves in enchanted ribbons of cloth so that their souls had enough structure to survive. This altered state proved to be a blessing in disguise, as their enhanced minds and magical abilities enabled them to fight against Dimensius and his limited army, thus crippling their efforts. However, over the years, Dimensius's power grew enough to summon armies of void creatures, forcing the ethereals to flee into the Twisting Nether.

Assault on the Ruby Sanctum

For centuries, the Red Dragonflight and its noble matriarch, Alexstrasza the Protector, have dedicated themselves to protecting life on Azeroth. But now a threat hangs over the heart of this virtuous Flight.

A strange silence has settled over The Ruby Sanctum, the sacred lair of the Red Flight within the Chamber of Aspects. This disturbing development raises fears that The Sanctum, home to the largest clutch of red dragon eggs in all of Azeroth, has been raped by an unknown and sinister force. If this proves true and immediate and drastic measures are not taken, the benevolent Red Flight may be mutilated forever.

Ghostcrawler offers initial clarification on Middle Glyphs

It seems that, after the disclosure by the different websites of what Cataclysm has in store for us, many players have started with their questions and Ghostcrawler has been dedicated to answering them… on the weekend!

One of the hottest spots is the glyph system that has been changed after the removal of the Path of the Titans. Ghostcrawler has decided to explain the philosophy behind some of the glyphs, with an emphasis on the Middle Glyphs.

Minor glyphs are fine in our opinion. They were not intended to offer power and are much more flexible than the sublime. Some classes need some better minor glyphs (like warlocks).

Middle glyphs are the type of glyph you would choose if you had more choices. For example, a Fury Warrior these days in PvE would likely choose Execution, Whirlwind, and Heroic Strike. Why wouldn't you? You use those buttons a lot. Glyph of Rajar isn't bad but you can't find enough situations where you would use it as much as Heroic Strike that it doesn't make up for it. If it doesn't make up for Heroic Strike, if it was in another category, it might be worth considering. Bloodlust would be an excellent Medium Glyph because it is useful but does not contribute to DPS. Medium glyphs are good for situational abilities, cooldowns, defense, and utility.

Now with that said, we are reviewing the Sublime Glyphs a lot. The Glyph of Sprint (movement speed) is a very interesting one. It's probably a DPS boost because it helps your time on target, but it's hard to put a number on it. It is very easy to number the Glyph of Eviscerate (critical chance). It is a math problem. That glyph will be demonstrably better or worse than the rest of the sublimes, leading to the conformist mentality. We already have many parts of the game where you can't make wrong choices - with enchantments and meta-gems for example, there is usually a right or wrong choice as we don't make several by spec. We make multiple glyphs per spec so we think it might be cooler. Personalization was our original design for the glyphs, and frankly we didn't get it. They are perceived as talents, really simple talents.

The challenge for us is that ALL glyphs follow this pattern. If they don't do it for some classes, as has happened in WotLK, then everything unravels. We have a much better feeling about what makes a glyph interesting now. I'm not going to promise we're going to get it this time because we weren't able to do it the first time. But it is a goal and we are going to spend a lot of time on it.

Edit: My mention of the Glyph of Execution seemed confusing or offensive to some Fury Warriors who don't use Execute often. Ignore the references for now and focus on the Glyph of Rajar. It's a really situational glyph. In some battles it is incredible and in others it has no use. Your choice is to pick one situational glyph or carry many and continually change them. As a Medium Glyph it would work best.

There's still more! I've decided to remove the Fury Warriors and Ghostcrawler discussions because they don't clarify anything about the Glyph system. You can always visit the original thread (in English) if you want to know more information.

Cataclysm: Druid Talents Preview

Like all official Fansites, Blizzard has given us a preview of the talents of the Druid.

spirit_lord_valthalak-troloroko

Does the Pre-Cataclysm event start? Lord Valthalak appears in the game

Through the Minichat, Ryu warns us that the Spirit of Lord Valthalak has begun to be seen in some parts of the world. It seems that a Spanish player, Troloroko has made a capture on the spirit:

spirit_lord_valthalak-troloroko

The idea gains strength since there are many people who are watching it and on all servers at the same time. Lord Valthalak is a summoned chieftain of Peaks of the Blackrock who, we do not really know why or what it is that makes the world free.

Do you have more images? Stories to tell us about what you do or say? Send us an email to mailbox@guiaswow.com or use our Contact Form! We are trying to locate it for now without success.

Many thanks to Ryu and Troloroko for the initial information.

Nxone sends us another capture. As he comments, while walking around the outskirts of orgrimar on his server (C'thun) he encountered another of these spirits.

Edition: It seems that it is some type of specific bug of some servers with an amulet although it is still not entirely clear.

Interesting new information about Cataclysm (important)

Hello again! Did you miss me? These days, as you may have seen, we have missed some important updates such as the advances of the talents of Shaman, Druid, Rogue and Priest or that ... we have stayed in third place in The Battle of the Fansites! But everything has its explanation.

While it is true that we could have published the information on the Talents in English, you know that we do not like to publish anything in English so we have decided to wait to have it translated so that both those who understand English and those who do not, can see this information in the same way. On the other hand we have another reason, which is even better!

As you may already know, Blizzard invited GuíasWoW to the offices in California to offer us a lot of information about Cataclysm exclusively for some press outlets and some lucky Fansites. The trip is long and we wanted to be able to analyze the information and offer it to you well organized and we have also prepared our first podcast for the occasion!

We are going to briefly study the Current Ranking of the Sand Pass. We did not have much opportunity to do it when the round happened but it seems that more or less the trend is maintained. I think it is quite interesting to analyze the trend. Did you expect the typical Rogue / Wizard / Priest composition? I think you are going to be disappointed ...

Will Divine Storm still be a 51-point Talent? Ghostcrawler responds

These days in the American forums, Paladins Retribution and Ghostcrawler have had a lively talk about Divine Storm. An iconic ability of the Retribution Paladin but one that is often compared to Whirlwind of Warriors. If we add to that that there are people who get some information from Cataclysm, we have an interesting discussion between players and Ghostcrawler.

As we found it interesting, we wanted to share it with you:

The current plan is for Crusader Strike to be learned from the ground up, but for Retribution there are talents that increase damage, and Divine Storm will remain the 51st talent.

I'm also surprised that some of you only do AoD attacks on fill monsters 🙂

Keep in mind how Retribution works, you are not excluding one attack to put another in its place. A Fury warrior may not use the Whirlwind and spend anger on a Heroic Strike again. But Retribution isn't as limited by mana as much as it is by cooldowns. You can choose to do nothing when the Crusader's Strike is on cooldown, or you can use Divine Storm.

I agree that it can sit, and it may happen, that you have the same ability that another class gets as a base while you spend 51 talent points. That is not the goal of the design.

Wouldn't you think it ended here? Truth? Look behind the jump and you will see everything that Ghostcrawler tells us about Paladins Retribution and Divine Storm

Cataclysm: Catch of the Day (and the weekend)

ss1337

Blizzard offers us the screenshots of this weekend and the following days. This one you see above is from Gadgetzan, in Tanaris.

The other screenshots of the expansion, which you can see after the jump, belong in order to: The Barge (The Thousand Needles), The Polluted Forest (Blasted Lands) already The Charred Valley (Spur Mountain).

Operation Gnomeregan and Fall of Zalazane available in PTRs

It is known to all that Blizzard has ambitious plans for Trolls and Gnomes in Cataclysm. New starting areas and missions will be available for these races when Cataclysm arrives, but before all that happens, we'll have to help them out!

It seems that Patch 3.3.5 will be in charge of bringing us The Liberation of Gnomeregan y Glory of the Blackspear although we do not know exactly "when" in time. What we do know is that we will have to help our faction members retake Gnomeregan and The Echo Isles.

Starting today in the PTRs, players will have the opportunity to experience the challenges of Operation Gnomeregan and the Fall of Zalazane. We are seeking your feedback and participation in the Public Realms to make both events memorable in the history of Azeroth.

Still not in the RPP? See how to join the fun at Trial Realms Forums.

Players who want to try out the new missions and events will need to enter the Public Test Realms starting today. They are waiting for your participation and feedback to improve the events as much as possible and make them more fun and unforgettable.

Don't you have a character yet? Copy yourself one!

Soon we will bring you more information about what is going on in these events. Stay tuned!

Beta the active online auction house in Europe

Do you remember when we commented on the Beta of the Online Auction House? Surely most of you remember it since it brought a lot of controversy in the comments. But if not, do not stop visiting the explanatory article with all the characteristics of the auction.

Drazthal just announced that the online auction house is active in the European Kingdoms both on the iPhone and from the Web.

The beta test of the World of Warcraft Online Auction House is now open to the public! The Online Auction House is a new service in development that allows players to access the World of Warcraft auction house from the Armory website (http://eu.wowarmory.com/auctionhouse/) or from the Mobile Armory application for iPhone and iPod touch (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=321057000&mt=8). Players can browse their characters' auction houses with the same search options as in-game, and they can also see the real-time status of their current bids and auctions.

As we mentioned previously, some features of the Online Auction House will be of premium access.

Once the beta test ends and the Online Auction House is activated, players will be able to subscribe to a new service called World of Warcraft Remote (http://eu.wowarmory.com/wow-remote.xml), which will allow them to buy items, put items up for sale from their characters' bags, bank or mailbox, collect gold from their bids and auctions, and more. During this beta test, players will be able to try these features for free, and each World of Warcraft account will be able to make up to 25 transactions per day (Note that this limit will be increased at launch).
For more information about the Online Auction House, go to the frequently asked questions article "FAQ" (http://eu.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=es_ES&articleId=43513). We hope you enjoy trying this new service and we look forward to reading your comments.

I've been testing it a bit from the iPhone and, the truth is that the application looks very good. I have left some screenshots after the jump:

Cataclysm: Catch of the Day (and the weekend)

ss1333

You missed her ... right? During this weekend we have not had our daily dose of Cataclysm Captures although today it returns with force and they show us 4. This one that you see above is from Caverns of the Black Rock, one of the new dungeons for 5 players that we will have in Cataclysm.

The other captures, which you can see after the jump, belong to areas that we have already seen but from different angles.

First exclusive images of Worgen (female)!

For a long time, we have all been eager to see some image of the Worgen and Blizzard, although it has not shown anything to date, has repeatedly commented on its interest in showing them to the community.

Today, exclusively for official fansitesBlizzard has sent us the first images of the Worgen with different sets of clothes (one for each type of armor). First of all, we want to emphasize that these images show a work in development of what the Worgen will be in the future but they wanted to share them with us and with all of you.

We hope you like them as much or more than we do because the truth is that they are being luxurious!

What where are they? Ahh yes! Behind the jump!

Cataclysm Sneak Peek: Professions

Shiura overtakes us from the forum the changes that await you Professions in the next expansion.

We all assumed that there would be new recipes to craft and new materials to collect and that, in addition, there would be 75 new points to raise the profession although we did not know any spectacular changes. The truth is that they are doing a great job with the expansion and have made changes to every aspect of the game.

Here is a short summary of the most important:

  • Goodbye to the Blacksmithing, Leatherworking and Tailoring specializations.
  • Elixirs will have a maximum power of 75% compared to a vial
  • Vanity pet for charmers!
  • Little about engineering but we will have new toys to use on ourselves, others and enemies.
  • Engineers will make bows, crossbows, and firearms.
  • 3 new First Aid bandages!
  • Changes in the gems to make the colors lighter.

The official WoW magazine consults the community

The World of Warcraft magazine is looking for new information, valuable advice and general feedback with two polls that they have added to the official Warcraft forums. The best answers will appear in the magazine as quotes, citing the character who wrote it as the author.

The first is for tricks in its section «Battlegrounds back to basics»And look for suggestions on Eye of the Storm for a future issue of the magazine:

The industrious gnomes and goblins of the official World of Warcraft magazine are working on the next issue. One of its regular sections is "Back to Basics Battlegrounds", this time about Eye of the Storm.

As part of this section, we are looking for tips and tricks from OdT veterans. You are? If so, we invite you to write in one line your best strategies, tactics and tricks to help you achieve victory. They can be either team oriented, or even class specific. The best suggestions will be incorporated into the section as quotes, and of course your character will be duly recognized. Remember, they have to be easy to understand one-line sentences, we are not looking for long paragraphs with minute details.

Thanks everyone in advance!

The second is about the Cataclysm Beta and whether or not people will try to avoid the Beta and everything that surrounds it. Will we see the Cataclysm beta before the new issue of the magazine? Who knows!

WoW will integrate with Battle.net 2.0 before Cataclysm

I still remember the BlizzCon panel on Battle.net 2.0 (remember what's to come) and its application on Starcraft 2 and World of Warcraft. The question is ... Do you want to be able to talk to your friends even if they are in another faction, server or even another blizzard game? It looks like Blizzard will make it happen before Cataclysm arrives based on the following statements from Zarhym:

This is exactly what we are working on, implementing real life friends on Battle.net. You can add new friends to the Battle.net account level to talk to while you are playing even if they are in the opposite faction, a different kingdom or another Blizzard game. This will come before Cataclysm.

No one outside of your faction in your realm will be able to communicate with you unless you accept the friend request or they accept yours. You will still have your normal World of Warcraft friends list but we will add the ability to have Battle.net players on the friends list as well. The characters on your friends list will have the same communication functionality that exists today. Only when you have confirmed someone as a friend on Battle.net can you take advantage of the additional communication features.

We'll elaborate on this soon but it's safe to assume that you shouldn't accept a Battle.net friend request from someone you don't know, similar to Facebook or another social network.

What I really love is that I will be able to quietly be playing Starcraft II or Diablo III (will it ever come out?) And, in the meantime, still be able to talk to my friends in World of Warcraft through their Battle.net accounts. The best thing is that it will be before Cataclysm!

I honestly think it will come out at the same time as Starcraft 2 (or shortly after)

In addition, Zarhym has dropped another interesting feature that I leave behind the jump.

Cataclysm: Preview on the Echo Isles

ss30_c Blizzard has disclosed part of the information that is reserved about the Echo Islands.

It seems that Vol'Jin's great mission is more important than originally thought. In addition to Zalazane, there appear to be certain political implications.

The new Trolls starting area seems to be for levels 1 to 5 and the precocious adventurers will be tasked with protecting the area's raptors (and their young) from the witchcraft of a sea witch, defeating those who annoy the tribe and raid the nagas who have invaded part of the island.

Also, just like the Gnomes, players will have the opportunity to help Vol'jin capture the area for the trolls!

You can see the rest behind the jump and, as always, you can find more information in the Blizzard Official Website on the Echo Isles.

Changes to Emblems and PvP points in Cataclysm

island_conquest_hangar_aereo I clearly remember in one of the question and answer sessions on twitter how Ghostcrawler said that they were not entirely happy with how the emblems had worked throughout Wrath of the Lich King. The truth is that neither do I. We have ended up having many Emblems that we cannot distinguish at all well (at first glance) and then they have become obsolete making it impossible to get more.

Good news! Blizzard, following their lead, has made known the changes they have in mind for Emblems and PvP points. Goodbye Emblems! Hello points !. Yes, yes, you read that right. There will be no more emblems and both PvE and PvP gear will be point-based. There will be 4 types of points that we can earn (two PvE and another two PvP).

Let's see how they are distributed:

  • Hero Points: Low-level PvE gear
  • Valor Points: High-level PvE team
  • Honor Points: Low-level PvP gear
  • Conquest Points: High-level PvP gear

Easy right? Hero Points will be like the current Triumph Emblems while Valor Points will be like the current Frost Emblems and will have a limit on how many you can collect each week.

With those of PvP the simile is even easier. Honor Points are like… well… Honor Points and Conquest Points are like Arena Points. There will also be limits.

Has it occurred to anyone that you can exchange PvE points for PvP points? Blizzard too.

Ahh yes! I almost forgot! Personal indexes will be removed from almost all items, including weapons.

Before you fly into a rage, read the entire Blizzard ad after the jump.

sindragosa_guia_soil

Raid progression changes in Cataclysm

sindragosa_guia_soil

Yesterday Blizzard unveiled some new standards for how raids will function in the Cataclysm expansion. The most important change of all, and that without a doubt everyone should know, is that the Loot differences of the 10 and 25 player versions disappear. That is, whatever version you go in, you will take the same object, with the same statistics. In addition, the saves of 10 and 25 are joined.

This means that 25-player raids will no longer yield better loot than 10-player raids (although they will yield more gear, more emblems, and more gold) and that players will no longer be able to "farm" the 10 and 25 versions each week. .

Let's see the key points:

  • The 10 and 25 player gangs in Cataclysm will share the same save
  • All raids will be able to choose Normal or Heroic mode in Cataclysm for each boss, in the same way as now happens in Icecrown Citadel
  • Difficulties 10 and 25 will have a very similar difficulty
  • Raids of 10 and 25 will have exactly the same loot
  • The bosses of 25 will give more quantity of equipment, emblems and gold but the quality and statistics of them will be equal to those of 10 players.
  • Bosses will become available over time, just like in Icecrown Citadel or Trial of the Crusader.
  • The first Cataclysm raids can be made by players with blue and crafted items.

Without a doubt they are quite important changes and that do not leave anyone indifferent. Personally I like the changes but those are letters from another opinion article that I will write later.
The blue, in full, you can read behind the jump.
