Update from Wotlk Beta Empty
PostSubject: Update from Wotlk Beta   Update from Wotlk Beta EmptyTue Jul 29, 2008 8:50 pm

Heres some updates that i can gather from Wotlk:

* Flying Mount In Northrend

There are several high-level instances and zones in Northrend that require flying mounts to access them, however these mounts will not be allowed until level 77. At that point, players can complete a relatively easy quest chain to gain the Cold Weather Flying ability, which allows them to use those mounts again. Developers have stated that this restriction is being put into place because they do not want people to "skip over" content.

Here is the guide for it from MMO-Champion


* Ring to port to Dalaran, for 7600g...

Update from Wotlk Beta Ringskirintoroq3.th


* New Mount/Pet System

To help easy storage concerns in the new expansion, Blizzard is implementing an entirely new system in which all Vanity Pets and Mounts and learned like spells and stored in an interface much like that of a Hunter's pets. This interface is accessible off of the Character sheet.

From the official EU Beta Forums:

We’re pleased to announce a convenient upgrade to the way that mounts and vanity pets are handled in Wrath of the Lich King.

Players will be able to “learn” a mount or non-combat pet much like learning a spell, recipe, or new ability, and these creatures will then show up on a new Pet tab within the Character Info section of the interface. Players will be able to access and preview their learned mounts and vanity pets through this tab.

Once learned, the pet icon or mount icon will no longer appear in bag spaces or bank spaces. This inventory space will be made available once again for other adventuring needs. Pets can still be set to hotkeys by dragging them to the hotkey bar, much like any other spell or ability.

Update from Wotlk Beta Mountpetesystemiy5


* A calendar System

Update from Wotlk Beta Wowscrnshot073008062417gc9.th


* Profession Interface

The expansion will add the ability to shift-click and link your Professions from the general tab of your Spellbook into Trade/Guild/Etc chat panels.

When someone clicks on your link, a panel similar to the Crafting panel will open, showing all of the recipes that the linking player is able to craft, as well as the materials they require.

This will allow other players to browse a crafter's available patterns much more easily.

See the screenshot at right for a look at a linked crafting window, thanks to WoW Insider.

Update from Wotlk Beta Az_tradeskilrecipebook_sm


* BS is able to add socket to 1H Weapon

Socket One-Handed Weapon


* JC new gem cut

Gem Cut Table


* DK Flying Mount

See it on Spendrak's Post

Update for arena lovers

Information and images from the WWI PvP Panel:

Blizzard has announced two new arena maps to be added in the expansion:

* Dalaran Sewers, located in Dalaran City in the Storm Peaks zone.
* Orgrimmar Arena, located in the Azerothian Orc capital of Orgrimmar.

Arena combat will continue to be endgame-only, meaning players will have to level all the way from 70 to 80 to begin fighting in new arena seasons. All arena rewards beyond the final pre-expansion season will be meant for level 80 characters.

These arenas will feature new gameplay mechanics, including:

* "Movable" objects. Structures and obstacles that provide changing line of sight (LOS) across the battlefield every few seconds. (For example: pillars might go up and down randomly, on a timer, etc.) These dynamic elements will make each arena feel different.
* Different styles of starting areas meant to prevent camping or exploiting.



Dalaran Sewers Arena

One of the planned new arenas is located in the Dalaran City sewers.

* The arena is fairly small and mounts won't be allowed here.
* The arena will make use of new variable environmental elements, mainly water:
o Each team will start in a pipe on one side of the map, as the match begins a column of water will "push" the teams out of their pipes to prevent camping.
o Water levels will rise and fall around the edges of the arena throughout the match.
o There is a pipe coming from the ceiling. Every once in a while a column of water will start dropping from this pipe, causing variable LOS issues.

Arena Layout:

Orgrimmar Arena

The second planned new arena is located in the old-world Azerothian city of Orgrimmar, the Orc capital in Durotar.

In Warcraft lore, there has always been an Arena in the city. In game,there is also an arena area called the Valley of Heroes, but it has never been utilized for anything in the game before.

* The arena will make use of new variable environmental elements, including:
o Elevating pillars that move on set timers, creating variable LOS issues around which groups can plan new strategies. There will be wheels and gears on the side of the arena that will spin to alert groups that the pillars are about to move.
o Triggered objects that damage players. Example: as the pillars go down, a wall of spikes may come up. You can move across them, but you'll take some damage.
* The arena will make use of a new style of elevating starting area.
o Starting areas are extremely close together. Players start on elevators that rise out of the ground ten yards apart from each other.
o The elevators will be surrounded by spikes that will drop a couple of seconds after the elevator reaches the top, so you'll have only a couple of seconds to plan.
* The arena is a larger map. Mounts will be allowed inside.
* Developers have mentioned the possibility of cheering NPC spectators.

No testing has yet been done on this arena.
