More WotLK news from BlizzCon 2008
Blood Elf Cosplay - BlizzCon 2008
We have a bunch more information Blizzard has released at BlizzCon 2008 for WotLK. There are major interface changes coming, along with very new and interesting concepts for PvE and PvP.
Here is a recap of some of the biggest WoW information since our last BlizzCon WotLK update:
- Ground mounts will no longer automatically dismount when you enter the water after patch 3.1. They will now be able to swim!
- 10-man and 25-man raid sets will share the same set bonuses, so you will be able to complete your sets with pieces of both combined.
- 3.1, the first content patch for WotLK, is already complete and ready for release.
- As previously mentioned, the dual-spec feature coming in WotLK will allow you to switch specs between fights in a raid. This feature will be great for switching between a party and solo spec while leveling in WotLK.
There was also some new information and ideas for PvP in WotLK:
- Blizzard plans on adding an experience reward for battlegrounds, allowing you to level by doing just battlegrounds. Will this remove twinking? So far there is no official word.
- There is a new Battleground rating system in development to hopefully make battlegrounds more competitive and fairly matched again.
- You will soon be able to queue for Arenas and Battlegrounds from anywhere in the game world (sounds similar to Warhammer’s system).
- The new WotLK instanced battleground, Strand of the Ancients, is getting updated from a 10 versus 10 to 15 versus 15. Additionally, they are doubling the number of siege weapons and vehicles available for players to use.
