This post contains patch 4.2 spoilers.
Alysrazor will most likely be our Sindragosa of this raid tier, with a wonderful screech. Shannox's lines are particularly fun (and I think it might be Cam Clarke), and Ragnaros is just as classic as he was the first go-around. Take a listen!
The news is already rolling out for the upcoming WoW Patch 4.2! Preview the new Firelands raid, marvel at the new legendary staff, and get the inside scoop on new quest hubs -- plus new Tier 12 armor!Filed under: Cataclysm

When I entered Stonecore for the first time and heard THAT voice, I wanted to stab my ears out. She's the only reason I put the game sounds on mute.

I kinda like her insane giggling...
But then, once I was given the hint to imagine Sindy was in fact shouting BETWAAAAYS YOU in the style of Tweety (from the cartoon Tweety and Sylvester) she always made me smile too...!

Soooooooo I'm getting there is going to be a lot of burning? Guess i better pack some burn ointment.
Fletcher May 10th 2011 7:50PM
I like Shannox's voice acting. "Now stay dead!"
Crispn May 10th 2011 8:01PM
"Arise consumer's of fire"

Has to be better than Sindy's emotes.
Morgatho May 10th 2011 9:35PM
i wonder if he'll say anything special if someone engaged the fight with either legendarys from MC?

I hope they come up with a new death animation that's just turning into a puff of ash

Fandral's emotes...sigh.
The voice effect is really cool, but...god, such generic dialogue. He doesn't sound any different from any of the other bosses.
If you listened to this video without looking at the pictures and you were told one of these bosses was supposed to be a tortured night elf driven insane and turned to darkness by the loss of his son...would you even be able to pick Fandral out of the lineup? Hell, I probably would have guessed the hunter!
Not even a name-drop for Valstann when he dies, what a disappointment.

Yeah, I was mightily disappointed at Fandral's treatment. So far he seems very much the generic bad guy, with no hint of his emotional background. He's one of the more developed characters, and to have yet ANOTHER character written out with the "oh, he got corrupted, went crazy, and now he's evil so we have to kill him" plot is bitterly disappointing.

They need a little better line reading on Rags 'Now behold my shapely calves!'.
Though 'My pants are not yet dry! You summon me too soon!' had just the right note of fury to it.

What happened to Rockbiter? "Squeak little pest".
Al May 11th 2011 4:09AM
I like the part where they threaten to burn us.

Remember when the Yogg-Saron voice files were datamined? The chill you felt when you heard "I am the lucid dream. The monster of your nightmares. The fiend of a thousand faces. Cower before my true form! BOW DOWN BEFORE THE GOD OF DEATH!"
None of these voices hold a candle to that, sadly not even Ragnaros.
Luftwaffles May 11th 2011 6:27AM
*sigh* Metzen AGAIN? Reeeallly?
Lemons May 11th 2011 7:50AM
Metzen was the original Rag...of course he's going to continue voicing him.
Stormkiller May 11th 2011 7:15AM
Ragnaros sounds how I'd imagined Deathwing to sound. Still way cool though.
Also, is Alysrazor Lani Minella again? If not, I think Blizzard needs to hire new talent scouts for most of the female voices, as this and Sindragosa have to be the worst I have ever heard, hire new artists and re-record them again, NOW. They make me want to retch...
'You stood in the fire' epic quote!
Lemons May 11th 2011 7:39AM
I'm noticing maniacal laughter is a theme here...has it been this way with every tier? I haven't noticed it much in the past...but maybe I would if I heard all the boss emotes crammed together like this.
Also...Fandral's voice changing is really lame. How difficult is it to get the same voice actor twice? Apparently very because it seems like every major character gets their voice changed at least two or three times. Now instead of having a unique voice Fandral sounds like Malygos/Medivh/Cam Clark.

Alysra was captured by Ragnaros' forces while she still had Fandral. Fandral willingly joined Ragnaros' forces while Alysra fought for her very being. In the battle, her body was burnt and distorted through elemental flames and magics but her being/mind was held together albeit twisted to join Ragnaros. Through the magics of both Ragnaros and Fandral and the fiery core of the firelands, a new body was created for the once beautiful green dragon. Alysrazor was "reborn" from her own ashes to serve her new masters.
Deathknighty May 11th 2011 1:17PM
Awesome, Alysrazor was Alysra, the green dragon who sends you to retrieve Fandral to be taken to moonglade.
Oops a daisy.
