Ghostcrawler -- Soul shard useQuote:
You said that using a soul shard should be an exciting moment, a "big deal" - and except for the Seed of Corruption one, none of them really feel like that.

That is still the goal, but we don't think just hooking up a big +damage buff or spell is going to feel that way. It will just be done on cooldown without some kind of situational requirement for doing so. We haven't given up on the idea at all, but it's not a trivial one to resolve.

Bashiok -- Beta broadcasting okayQuote:

There's no NDA so it's actually not a violation to take and post video, screenshots, or even broadcast streams of gameplay.
We of course would appreciate it if people would note in their footage that it's from beta because the game is still in development and may not represent the final product, but yeah, it's ok.
Rygarius -- Lack of blue posts latelyAll will be revealed when the time is right. In the interim. * ahem *

Zarhym -- Running ICC for another 2 to 3 months?There are no plans for any additional raids before Cataclysm ships. With that said, there will be at least one major patch leading up to Cataclysm with a lot of core features and framework being added for the new expansion for players to explore. There will also be various limited-time events to set the tone for the release of Cataclysm.
As far as running Icecrown Citadel for 2-3 more months goes, well, I can't confirm nor deny your time line. When it's ready, soon, etc. ;)

Reading a blue post is like getting a letter in the mail from your favorite Ex.
You don't know if you're about to win, or if you're about to get ROFLstomped.
Example Blue Post: We really felt that wasn't really needed, so we added some things to make up for it. And we're excited about those things! *wink wink*

Ugh, more vague answers on the timeline of release, I appreciate Blizzard's philosophy of doing things when they're done, but I just wish that we could geALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.

"There will also be various limited-time events to set the tone for the release of Cataclysm"
The limited-time events that had set the tone for the release of WotLK (aka zombie invasion) reached a level of awesomeness that's hard to top, but i trust Blizz and i'm super excited to see what they have in store for us.
The end of the world ? Bring it !

Maybe something like a Dragon Invasion, and these new floating nec... I mean Black Dragonshrines (or something) appear outside of each capital city. And these dragon roaches that if you kill them you get a debuff which eventually turns you into a black dragon whelp. Sounds pretty cool doesn't i....hey....wait a second!
Bapo Aug 13th 2010 12:55PM
Awhile back, I remember them talking about people walking around Ogrimmar with "Its the end of the world" type signs, so probably something to do with Twilights Hammer is my guess.
I still think nothing can compare to the zombie invasion though :P

So long as they don't make it forced PvP on PvE servers. and so long as they make it possible for players who dislike it to do their own thing unmolested by other players, I have no problem.
What I disliked about the Zombie event was it failed in both aspects. I'm hoping for some good PvE events heavy on the lore that I'll want to do on my main, then log off and do again on my alts

I am slightly irritated that I have missed EVERY Pre-expansion event, and subsequently generally that whole first patch after, due to timings of military deployment, etc. It's getting kind of old, and hopefully this wil be the last one I miss.
When BC came out, I was in boot camp, I had planned it so I would graduate just before it came out, so I could be around for launch, ut things changed.
When WotLK came out, I was on a boat in the middle of the Arabian Gulf. Nothing I could do about that.
When Cataclysm comes out (unless it gets delayed to a 2011 release date, I will be in Afghanistan, oing what I do.
Hopefully, the next expansion, I will make.

I loved the Zombie invasion. That was literally the most fun I had in BC. I still wish they'd have created a BG based around that. You put in a lot of NPC's, you join and begin to wash across the land in a sea of zombies. The objective is for the defending team to slow the invasion down until reinforcements can arrive. The attacking team brings the zombie pain in an effort to destroy all of civilization before said reinforcements can arrive so that by the time they do, the zombies will consume them too.
No points, no gear to win. Just fun.

Tarcraft... hmm...
wait... IS THAT BLIZZARDS NEW MMO!?!?!!?!?!?!?
Ozzard Aug 13th 2010 9:33AM
TarCraft. The name reminds me of something made out of congealed black sludge - my ex-neighbour's cooking, perhaps.
What does it remind you of?

Somehow I missed out on the first TarCraft. x-D
Danny Aug 13th 2010 11:11AM
I'm ready for Operation Gnomeregan and whatever transitional things happen (give me new stuff...please)! :)
I keep thinking it must be soon....soon.

"When it's ready™" and "Soon™".... Gotta love blizzard.
C4G Aug 13th 2010 1:11PM
I loved the Zombie invasion before WotLK! I cannot wait to see what happens for Cat!! I was in the 'Fjord the other day and the ground starting shaking. I thought they had already added a transition to the expansion....turns out it was just an elite giant roaming around looking for fresh NR meat to pown...heh....ow...my back!

On the topic of the "world event" does that just happen or is there a 24hr/week warning so we can make sure as to NOT miss it? :)
