Cataclysm Beta: New maps

by Michael Sacco Jun 30th 2010 at 8:46PM

Jolesole of raevyn.net (coincidentally a great source for Cataclysm info) has been datamining the latest beta patch, and he's found a whole bunch of new or changed maps for zones in the new expansion. Zones include Redridge Mountains, Westfall, Vashj'ir, and more. You can check them out in our gallery below.

Actually the latest patch is being implemented as we speak.

Michael Sacco Jun 30th 2010 8:50PM

Nah, it's been available for download (and thus, datamining) for a while now.

Build 12319?

Anyone know what the hell is up with Badlands?

Iirdan Jun 30th 2010 8:56PM

Looks like a landslide. With lava.

Kleptov Jun 30th 2010 8:58PM

Slip 'n Slide, Cataclysm style!

Looks like you won't be getting into the zone through Loch Modan anymore. I got to admit, the map of the Badlands threw me off, it was the only zone that I couldn't recognize on first glance.

Gotta say I love the new map style, seems so much more sleek and outlines landmarks more visibly.

Aww, poor Lakeshire, Magistrate Solomon put up a good fight :[

KJP Jun 30th 2010 9:14PM

Why "poor Lakeshire"? Looks to me like it's just fine, and they might even have finally finished that bridge.

Kargath, on the other hand, doesn't appear to have been as lucky.

Marshal Jun 30th 2010 9:16PM

Ha, you're right. Silly me, forgot to click on the Hi-Res button.

Yay Solomon!

I must say they dont really look THAT different. ><

paul Jun 30th 2010 10:51PM

No, and I'm quite glad. Not been playing long enough to want them to just rip *everything* up.

Iirdan Jun 30th 2010 9:21PM

Has that road in the Northeast corner of Redridge always been there?

RogueJedi86 Jun 30th 2010 9:39PM

Nope, it goes from the NE corner of Swamp of Sorrows to the SE corner of Burning Steppes. Nice shortcut around that area for Horde.

MusedMoose Jun 30th 2010 9:52PM

Ooh! A large part of Westfall went boom. Sweet. Maybe now the zone will be more interesting and less "Grapes of Wrath". ^_^

I noticed the Northshire vineyards have been burned to a crisp. TAKE THAT DEFIAS THUGS! Deathwind isn't so evil after all!

Samutz Jun 30th 2010 11:16PM

The Teldrassil map appears to confirm my suspicion that Rut'theran will replace Auberdine as the Alliance's boat hub.

All this new info has me too excited to sleep tonight. I'm gonna be whipping out my phone every time it beeps for email for a week just to see if I get a beta invitation.
