Patch 4.1 adds ... a resort town?

by Michael Sacco Apr 6th 2011 at 6:00PM

Patch 4.1 is adding a bunch of new content to Cataclysm, including retuned Zul'Gurub and Zul'Aman heroic instances, but it's also adding a resort, apparently. Perculia over at Wowhead went on an expedition to the 4.1 PTR, where she discovered that there's been a new area added in the mountains between Feralas and Silithus. Its inhabitants are marked as Gadgetzan faction, and it's full of NPCs, from Silverpine favorite Johhny Awesome to chef Gordon Tramsay. And everyone seems to be having a grand old time, sipping pina coladas and lounging around in lawn chairs.

We have no idea what the location is going to be used for -- it may just be fun flavor, but Wowhead speculates it might be an extension of the Steam Pools or even used for some kind of in-game holiday.

I used to joke, when certain of my characters hadn't been seen in awhile, that they were chillin' in Ratchet, tossing back mojitos. Now I know where they'll be found when they're on R&R.

I hope they have cartel rep quests, tired of grinding the last bit of exalted 2.5 rep at a time.

I could've sworn I've been there on Live...

I hope they add a 372 ilvl req. so raiders have a place to get away to from all the scrubs. The vip area would require a server first raiding achievement.

I dined off your tears when Cata dropped and your fancy loots were replaced with quest greens :D Have a nice day!

While they're at it, they can make capital cities require an itemlevel of 300 maximum so you raider scrubs can be leet out in the world while we casuals make money at the auction house.

I wanted to see if you got upset if I wrote something clearly sarcastic and even ended it with trollolol to make it obvious I wasn't serious.

Thanks for proving me right!

Mocking people sure is fun, isn't it?

There's a reason people downvoted you

Is it just me or does the dwarf female at the front of the line in this pic look like she has no top on? http://static.wowhead.com/uploads/screenshots/normal/223866.jpg

Eh, it's probably one of those suits that covers her front but ties at the back of the neck rather than across the back, so her hair's hiding the ties.

...no, I've never been fooled by one of those while swimming laps, why do you ask.

Spring Break ERP!

Can this game get more juvenile?

RogueJedi86 Apr 6th 2011 11:25PM

Nope!

*happily goes back to doing more poop quests*

Antonius.Prime Apr 7th 2011 6:57AM

You realise that it is just a game, right?
Not everything has to be "seriz bizniz".

I play to unwind after a long days work, not to worry about if a game is "juvenile" or not.

Lighten up a bit, it'll be good for you. :)
