Blizzard updated their new community site with news of the next phase of the elemental invasion


Quote:

Little progress has been made toward mending Azeroth's dire condition. Thrall has nonetheless continued forging ahead in search of answers. Most recently, he journeyed to his ancestors' lands in Nagrand on the shattered world of Outland. At the fabled Throne of the Elements, he has met with other wise shaman, including the venerable dwarf Gavan Grayfeather, hoping to glean even the smallest shred of insight that could help him save Azeroth from ruin.

Meanwhile, Twilight's Hammer cultists have been caught infiltrating Orgrimmar and Stormwind City, sparking panic and suspicion among the two great cities' inhabitants. Although the cult's earlier bid to wreak havoc on these capitals had failed, this new development has raised fears that the Twilight's Hammer is poised to launch another, far more devastating attack.

The events leading up to Cataclysm are underway and a great disturbance of the elements has erupted. Don?t miss out on the all-new quests featured during this one-time-only series of events.

I just can't seem to make myself care about this event at all.

This whole xpac has B-team written all over it.

So far I'm not impressed, but I'm going to wait it out before passing judgment. They did say they plan to "wow us".

There just isn't enough. I recently read 'The Shattering' and I can't help but think to myself - why the hell isn't this IG? With Phasing being so heavily utilized in Cata one would think that it wouldn't be all that difficult to put this stuff in. The stuff currently IG is just too light on lore, too light on actual 'stuff to do'.

This.


I have to give Blizz credit though for finding another carrot for players to chase in the last couple of weeks.

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.
Free advice is often worth what you pay for it: nothing.

Anyone having read the "prelude to cataclysm" book knows that the best is yet to come...

Same but I'm not much of a holiday/event person. I've done probably 10 or less holiday quests across 10 80's, 10 more horde toons, and various others, not counting dailies since I'll do horseman and other similar mount run type punishments.

I'm not sure that's what I'd call it. This expansion is very odd to me in that WoW is very successful and still growing and they decided to butcher and redesign a LOT of the game for no particular reason. There was no player outcry. There was no mass exodus. Their reasoning for huge game changes is always "we feel that X should be more like Y" out of nowhere - who is this "we" and how did these crackheads get the green light to massacre WoW?

I keep waiting for things to get rolling too. Unless they have a bunch of stuff planned that wasn't on the PTR (which could be entertaining in much different ways) then I'm afraid this is going to be a big let-down. Isn't the only stuff left the part where level 83 elementals run thru cap cities, we free the townspeople and then we queue up for a loot pinata boss? (Rinse repeat every few hours)

Maybe the last patch right before cata is where they're putting the effort in?

I've found all the "events" to be pretty boring and this goes back to release and the little beta events they had back then.


I don't really care anyways. This is a one shot event and I would rather they spend the resources on better future expansion updates than this.
