*cheers* some more news !

[Xentropy]

Uh, no attunements? Their answer to that question was that there is going to be a definite attunement path but the system is going to be a lot simpler than in TBC. They felt TBC attunement chains were too complex, and WotLK's are going to be more like just kill the last boss of instance 1 to attune for instance 2. I did NOT hear no attunements.

LOL @ "Ccculus", I could see players calling it that if it requires too much CC.

And the championing system sounded very interesting. Will be fun to see how that turns out.

[csulok]

By path I think they meant you'll feel what comes after what, not that you'll be restricted from going to one place if you didn't finish the previous one. And no, you won't have to kill last boss of instance X to unlock first boss of instance X+1. They said no to that specific question earlier if I remember correctly.

-Will there be attunements in WotLK or only gearchecks
No attunements.

That is a bit stupid I think.

- Continues the Uldaman platinum disc quest line with the the history and creation of Azeroth

Lovely !

more non-linear content, more than 1 way to get to a boss and defeat it (example: Ccculus)

I am no sure , but isn't there a typo there . Isn't it Occulus ?

[QuiSiLoR]

Sounds like some good news and implementations. Attunements were damn annoying especially if u had a few char and doing it over and over.

[Xentropy]

They said specifically there will be an "attunement" path, not a "progression" path, which to me implies attunements, however simpler than the current ones. I didn't hear them say the last boss thing, but if so, perhaps one of the middle bosses will be required.

[Kody]

I updated the note on attunements to be more clear, because he definitely said they plan to have some form of attunements for higher end raiding content in the expansion, but it'll be easier to understand what's required and won't be nearly as overbearing as some of the initial TBC attunement quests.

Faction shouldn't feel like a grind. Championing: equipping a tabard for the faction rewards you reputation when in any dungeon

Now that is Nice.... no running the same dungeon over and over and over .... well you get the picture :P

[AK47]

That's better , indeed. Did you check if I was right about the typo ?

[MarshallAVT]

- 3 Tier7 raid instances

So is naxx T8?

[Xentropy]

Yeah, that sounds more correct. No initial attunements, and if they did say the no last boss thing they could still do something like you have to kill the last boss of 2 of the 4 wings in Naxx to enter whatever T8 dungeon gets patched in first.

Thanks for typing these up, Kody!

To the above, no, Naxx is T7, the other two initial raid instances will likely be shorter one-offs, such as Gruul and Mag were in TBC. No details on anything but Naxx of the three yet however.

All credit other than adding clarity for the attunements actually goes to csulok. He's done a great job helping with the coverage!

Definitely a typo -- fixing now.

Definitely nice... I was very happy to hear about this. And even if you feel like grinding away for a certain rep in their dungeons, you can equip the tabard and get a bonus to that rep gain. Awesome system idea, even if it's still in the early planning stages.

[Stealthyjake]

If they do put Championing in the game, will it work for outside rep grinding, if so, wont it be easy to grind for a WOTLK faction just by grinding a low level creature in outlands
