Large Content Patch To Precede Upcoming WoW Expansion

Posted by Soulskill on from the three-point-oh dept.

Blizzard has announced they will be releasing a sizable patch to prepare for the upcoming Wrath of the Lich King expansion to World of Warcraft. The patch, similar to one they released prior to the first expansion, will include the new profession (Inscription), new talents for each class, and two new arenas. The patch will be up on the Public Test Realm "soon," according to a Blizzard rep, but it will require significant testing before reaching the live servers. Blizzard developers Tom Chilton and J. Allen Brack gave a related interview recently to Videogamer in which they mentioned that a graphical reboot for World of Warcraft "may never be necessary." We've been following the development of Wrath of the Lich King for a while now.

    I stopped playing WOW about a year ago.

    I see, so your opinion about this game that you don't enjoy and don't play is incredibly relevant.

    It was the same thing over and over. Push number, wait for bar to fill, push another number, wait for bar, then loot. Rebuff, and start again.

    I feel sorry that you remember such a beautifully artistic game with a great storyline and other fun people to play with was so grey and empty. Perhaps the game is interesting and you are the boring one.

    I have been playing off and on for over 3 years. But I'm pretty sure this craptastic next expansion will seal the deal for me. Looks like I'll be giving Warhammer a try.

    It's not surprising though that the expansions are sucking compared to the original game, given how much of the original team has left.

    You clearly played a rogue..the most catered to class in the game (well arguably). Please stop crying about how hard and ennui it is to play a rogue...You can 100%-0% more classes, try playing something new and challenging. Just my two cents :D
