Patch 4.2 Firelands and daily quests preview up now

If you've been waiting for Patch 4.2 preview videos, Blizzard has you covered. Yes, the official site has video trailers previewing not only the Firelands raid, but also what we're going to be doing for our daily quests to restore the former glory of Mount Hyjal after the eruption of the fire elementals and their lord Ragnaros onto its slopes. So far, I see a whole lot of magma- and fire-based things to kill, some chaotic-looking mechanics, and Fandral "I am so on fire" Staghelm seems to make an appearance near the end with fire scorpion and firecat forms.
After the break, you can watch the Daily Quest preview movie. It shows a bit of the natural world reclaimed but in general is mostly some kicking vistas. Looks like 4.2 is going to be a rather incendiary one for Cataclysm.

I want a fire scorpid pet right now.

Before we begin, let's try to keep the flaming to a minimum, shall we?

But it's the Firelands! There must be fire and flames!

I think it's cool that they went all animal-y with the fire. Reminds me of Zul'Aman except with lava.

Oh, they're going to rehash this into a crappy 5man dungeon too?
... was that joke too soon?

I see Ragnaros was in old form. I guess the idea of a walking Ragnaros ...

... didn't have any legs.
YEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHH

Except that's Fandral Staghelm.
chuparex Apr 27th 2011 4:19PM
Except Ragnaros is in the video too.
chuparex Apr 27th 2011 4:22PM
Except you were talking about the Malfurion comment. D: My b.

C-C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!

I'm pretty sure they're using the new Ragnaros model in the video - it's definitely not the original model. It's likely he starts with a submerged phase and then gets up and walks around later.

Nevermind, I forgot that Blizzard already set the record straight. His legs are reserved for a special phase in Heroic Mode. Thanks to the other commenters for bringing that up.

"It's likely he starts with a submerged phase and then gets up and walks around later."
He only leaves the pool in heroic mode.
Eddy Apr 28th 2011 2:23PM
I feel like the problem with the legs being only in Heroic mode is that- shouldn't it be scary as heck when he climbs out of the pool? I imagine that the raid leader will start giggling.
