Official WoW Expansion Talent Information
smartidiotaz writes "Blizzard has finally released more information about the talent trees after leaks broke out over the internet. " As typical, every class thinks every other class got a better deal, but the Pallies get to mean it ;)
I stopped playing WoW for four months or so, but re-activated my account when I heard about the cross-server battlegrounds and the upcoming revamp of the Honor system.
The wait times on Alterac Valley average about 2 minutes, across all hours of the day.
For Warsong or Arathi Basin, you might have to wait up to 8 minutes in queue in the off-hours, but during peak hours the queues for AB and WSG are less than two minutes.
Also, it looks like the upcoming changes to the honor system will eliminate DKs... so, more world PvP.
They've been systematically reviewing each class almost since the game came out. Most of the changes have been in the talent trees. Rogues had their review in the 1.12 patch, and their talents were changed.
This is different. This is the addition of new, higher tier (up to 41 point required) talents to coincide with the release of the expansion and the increasing of the level cap to 70.
Game... blouses.
This is a good point, Molten Core is really an awful instance and feels like it was thrown together hastily. It's basically a big quake deathmatch map that someone added big ass rock monsters to. I was pretty let down once I saw the whole thing and realized that was it. I almost never go back, although most guilds seem to have it down to a one-night affair now. Blackwing Lair is much more interesting (with all the event rooms, each of which has its own peculiar strategy), and so are Zul Gurub, Ahn Qirahj, etc. So people who went raiding in early '05 and quit based on that are missing out, but that is Blizzard's fault for not putting some good stuff in there at release.
Um, try re-reading that article. If I recall correctly, it wasn't CmdrTaco whinging. It was CmdrTaco surprised at himself about how attached he was to his name. It was introspection. It probably sounds like he's whinging because he's describing how much it bothered him, but I don't recall him saying "I'm right and they're wrong". I do recall him saying "I'm surprised at how attached I am to that name".
Feel free to flame me if I'm wrong about that.
