Wowhead has done it again! They have announced the PTR is back up with 4.3, free for testing! They explain the quests and show new maps, one of what Dragonblight will look like in the future (the “End Time” dungeon), if Deathwing wins (yet kills himself).
They also show pictures of what the dungeons look like, the dungeon of Wyrmrest Temple’s “portal room“, and even the new Darkmoon Isle; the new, permanent location for the Darkmoon Faire. And also, the new loading screens for the raid and the dungeons, showing a red line similar to boat journey nodes. What it doesn’t show is the actual raid (does show where Deathwing’s demise will be). Maybe they’re still working on it.
Some people of Wowhead have released a video of what they’ve seen from the first dungeon, End Time. They mention that even the fact it’s Heroic, the fights are “really easy”, but require a 378 ilevel. It could be possible I might do this in the future (I currently have a 351 ilevel). You can hear the new music in the dungeon, and it sounds really sad (because everyone’s dead). I got a better taste in what the dungeon music should sound like, from Quake 1. A more “oh my god…” depressed feeling. The one they got going now is probably the song before Deathwing wiped out every living thing on Azeroth.
Wowhead also shows new spell changes for all classes. For Hunters, Kill Shot will be buffed a bit. That’s great news for me. Marksman Hunters will also get two changes.
Remember, these are early and could change as the patch nears.
They also show pictures of the new mounts and NPC’s (some of Deathwing’s tentacles during the final two boss battles in the raid). There is one mount that looks like a younger version of Alexstrasza. I theorize this could be THE mount that could drop once Deathwing finally dies in the raid. You turn in the quest at Wyrmrest and get a choice of three mounts that look like her. It has to be. To have a mount that looks just like the queen of all dragons, would be super epic.
Then again, it could be a reward in the Darkmoon Faire. But that’s highly impossible. Alexstrasza is too wise to have something like that happen with her look-alike children.
