Cataclysm screenshot of the day [Updated]
The latest Cataclysm screenshot from Blizzard is shown above, featuring another look at the Blasted Lands. This time around it's another shot of Surwich, the Gilnean (worgen) settlement of the region.
If you've missed any of the previous Cataclysm screenshots of the day or you want to see a hi-res version of today's screenshot, check out the gallery below.
Update: Zarhym clarified today's screenshot for us, and we've updated everything appropriately. The underwater screenshot was a redundant shot from earlier in the Screenshot of the Day series.

Huh? I think you got the screenshot mixed up.

I don't believe this is the latest screen shot. It should be another angle of the worgen town in Blasted Lands I think.

Yeah....the latest is showing an old house with a windmill that has seen better days. Maybe part of GIlneas?

It's Surwich, the Worgen town in Blasted Lands.

I sure hope they completely redo the underwater gameplay mechanics. as it stands now, it could seriously ruin the game for any areas that are underwater, and it appears there will be many such areas.

Gameplay underwater is changed exactly the way they said it would be at Blizzcon.

With all those Blasted Lands screenies pouring out, it makes me wonder, if Blizzard has any grandious lore in plan with the zone, or are they just wanting us to hate the zone even before it get's to be seen in-game ?

You forgot, everything is Blasted Lands. That picture would actually be a pic of Grim Batol, but y'know, everything is Blasted Lands.

Haha! Water levels have been the source of some pretty inspired game music. Upon seeing that picture, the music from the underwater levels of Donkey Kong Country on the SNES started playing in my head. I hope the music is appropriately Cousteau-y (or Zissou-y).

That 'oopsie' sotd is actually a sotd from 2 weeks ago and that's why it was put down.

The screenshot of Vashj'ir had already been used in the Screenshot of the Day section, hence it has been replaced with a new screenshot.

Thanks, taking care of it on our end, too!

Again with the Blasted Lands and coral reefs.... Sheesh, show us some other zones, I beg of you!

Perhaps we could get an advance shot of the spot where Fandral Staghelm used to stand?

Surwich, I like that name. Not sure why, though I'm probably pronouncing it wrong. (Sir-wick)
Wubble Jun 2nd 2010 6:26AM
If the Gilneans are really based on the English then it's pronounced Surrich

Wonder if the Wrogen druids will be trying to heal the broken Draenei.

Ok, we get it, a part of Blasted Lands is changed, alot. Can we please stop getting screenshots on it? I think Blizzard is just using screenshots of Blasted Lands because it's one of the most dramatic changes, but we get it. We don't need fifty screenshots of it. Please stagger it out?

What little I saw of Twilight Highlands on mmo-champ's leaks was nice and very well-developed already, not a single untextured area. Why can't Blizz give us 10 screenshots of it next instead of more Blasted Lands? The place is beautiful(like Nagrand on crack) and had plenty of attractive places. Or at the least I'd like a lot less Not-So-Blasted-Anymore Lands.
