Since I’m planning to come back to WoW next month, something caught my eye on Youtube; a new update for WoW. It’s the dreaded one that we finally get revenge on the asshole, Garrosh Hellscream. He’s all “bring it on, scum! I’ll take you all on!” in the video. He’s risen what he calls, the “true Horde”, by using the corrupted power of the old gods that sent Deathwing over the edge.
\nThe patch is set to go live around September 10th-11th.<\/p>\n
Am I going to gear up and engage Hellscream in a raid with other people? Nah. He’s not a threat like Deathwing was. Leave it to the raiders. And I agree from what I’m reading in a thread that this isn’t really our fight. Hellscream has his former Horde pissed at him. Let the Horde kill him for power, while us Alliance get fat and watch Youtube. We killed Deathwing, The Lich King, and …and..shit. The “You are NOT PREPARED!!” guy. Yeah. Anyway, what more of a threat is there? Though I’m sure in the future, Blizzard will answer that question to keep the game alive. Maybe the Old Gods will come out of the ground and “doom all of Azeroth blah blah blah”, since Deathwing couldn’t do it.
\nBut Hellscream has to be all “come at me bro!” by dumping some weird shit in the waters of the Vale, and has drained all the water from the zone. That really sucks. I wonder if this is going to make that zone impossible to fly to now, or even have a purpose to go to.
\nThough I do wish the Dragon Aspects made a return to assist. It appears they really have vanished from Azeroth (just frozen in time, literally. Aka Northrend and Dragonblight). They feel mortals can take care of the planet now and are no longer needed.
\nThis dragon isn’t going to worry about this pointless war. Not my fight.<\/p>\n
There’s also some nice features with this patch, including one that can actually train you to play your class (actually any class), in a dungeon-like experience. This is what I’ve wanted for years, especially how rusty I will be when I get back.
\nAccording to what I’m reading, you can choose a class you want to play. If you want to see how hard a Tank is in a Dungeon, there’s the option. Even a Healer. And there’s DPS, which I will need to practice most. You can do this as many times you want to, which is awesome.
\nTo get in it, you need to fly to the White Tiger Temple and speak to someone to get access. There you will be pitted against enemies of increasing difficulty. It sounds like the daily version when you go here, and defeat enemies in honorable combat.
\nThere’s four levels of difficulty; Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Endless. Endless is when the combat stops when you can’t take it anymore.<\/p>\n
There’s also a new zone, called the Timeless Isle. It’s said where the former water of the Vale is being stored, transported by the serpents of Pandaria. It’s also a rare gem, where “the sun never sets or rises”; that time has no meaning. Due to this, it’s sparked a lot of controversy amongst dragons and even the Pandarian.
\nI personally want to see this magical island for myself. It’s rumored to have treasure Who knows? Might find something quite interesting.
\nIt’s appeared East of The Jade Forest. Reading shows that it’s for soloers, but mentions “powerful enemies”. I imagine I’ll still need full Valor gear to survive. Probably going to be the same as the ‘Jurassic Park’ zone, as terms of enemy difficulty. But I will fly there, just to check it out.
\nTo get there, you got to fly to the Vale apparently (seems to still be accessible after what Hellscream did) and speak to someone on your faction. Another page says you can go directly to this island.<\/p>\n
Reading about what they did for Hunters. We seem to have gotten nerfed and buffed at the same time, though it’s mainly for Hunter Pets. Dash, Dive, and Charge no longer take away Focus, Glyph of Mend Pet now has a 100% chance to cure your pet of most ailments of disease, and last.. pets can be revived without the Hunter having a line of sight (awesome).
\nAnd Stampede has been “buffed”(no longer reduces damage to 75% when not in a PvP area).<\/p>\n
So yeah, the patch looks really cool. However, I’m not seeing the promised changes I’ve read that will make getting Valor easier to acquire. So it’ll still be a grindfest of doing Dailies for 5 VP each. … Meh. Makes me not want to play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
