Burning Crusade Impressions Roundup

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the blood-elf-got-your-tongue dept.

With the Draenei out of the bag, the news sites have taken some time to reacquaint themselves with the new corners of Azeroth. From the Gamespot hands-on report: "To navigate these vast new areas, the expansion will add flying mounts, such as winged dragonlike characters that can run along the ground even more quickly than the fastest epic mounts in the game and also take to the air at any time and fly anywhere. Though you'll need to have a character at level 70 to get your own flying mount, you'll enjoy increased freedom of movement--and apparently, Blizzard's content team is also designing out-of-the-way pockets of content and monster camps to be discovered by adventurous players who don't mind exploring the new areas."

      The impressions were taken down for scheduled maintenance early this morning, but that ran a little bit long and they weren't back up until ten AM. After people started reading the impressions they became unstable and needed to be taken down again for emergency maintenance which will probably last until next Tuesday.

      See? It's all the fun of actually playing the game without having to pay a monthly fee.

    The new race will also possess new innate abilities, including a heal-over-time skill called Blessing of the Naaru, though it won't be overwhelmingly powerful ("it's on par with a renew or regrowth [spell]," explained the producer) but will scale up with your Draenei character's level and be useful enough for reducing downtime (the time required to sit and recover from wounds after battle). 1. There's downtime in World of Warcraft? Since when? 2. What person who'd give a tinker's damn for an upcoming MMO expansion - that will be out a year from now, at that - would need this term defined for them? Who's this article written for, exactly?

    Oh please tell me you can poop on peoples heads as you fly by on my flying mount??? That would be the ultimate PWN towards the opposing race.
