First content patch of WotLK will have ground mounts no longer dismount in water, they can swim!

The only thing I didn't like it from the report =/

Comrade Suhov · 10-11-2008, 11:59 PM

Ground mounts can't sweem. Horsemean (in real world in plate) weights atleast 160 kgs and mounts can't swim with such loads. Hmm, New engeniring bikes will swim aswell? Great...

Theik · 10-12-2008, 12:53 AM

Bikes aren't mounts but vehicles.

i like this panel. Actually had some shtuff i was interested in.

Braxxis · 10-12-2008, 01:15 AM

So Pandaren aren't in because China is having issues with Panda's? So they don't want us killing them?

Put the Pandaren in a Sanctuary city. No killing them then.

I wish someone asked if inscription was intended to be for caster only (epic off hands) or if they planed something else than shoulder enchants for non caster inscribers...

It would be nice if they could say so early so I don't waste my time.

Ahh, you should read Blue Posts and the WoW Forums more often

A player was explaining something then mis-typed Beacon into Bacon. Then it created a hilarious trail of replies. A Blue Post was posted after that, calling is Bacon of Light as well, as a reference to the hilarious moment prior to it.

Since then, it's been known as "Bacon of Light", don't you want to eat it?

What's the next expansion?
Chris Metzen: Not what you'd expect!

Ok, that's Metzen. So now we can rule out "Emerald Dream", "Maelstrom", "Old gods", the Goblin Island, "Kul'tiras" (the last two are weird to become an expansion itself

)

Now we can expect something like, an expansion about the other worlds the other Dark Portals lead to, or maybe the home world of the Exodars, or maybe the home world of the Titans or the Old gods (since we all know the Old gods are not from Azeroth).

Next hero class?
Bard!

I hope it's serious. LOLz. RP? haha... Most iconic Bard ever = Iolo Fitzowen, from the Ultima series.

Quote:

Female druids turn in to male animals - proof is the bear dance. Could glyphs differentiate between genders?
The game is teen rated so the difference can't be seen.

Bwahahaha!!

Create Death Knights with 3.0.2 as the rumors say?
The class comes with WotLK, not with 3.0.2.

Sorry but, such a waste of question time. Obviously Death Knights come with 3.0.2 BUT, no one will be able to create a DK until WotLK. Same as BE. Just go to PTR, the DK class is there already, just can't click it.

You know what would make for an interesting unexpected expansion? A revision of Azeroth. Perhaps not a complete overhaul, but an upgrade. It would actually fit in since they are considering a graphical overhaul for the third expansion.

And they were just kidding about the Bard as they are reffering to the April Fool`s joke. Also, no bards in Warcraft lore.

Hojew · 10-12-2008, 07:17 AM

"Switching specs just to get a different weapon specialization with a Warrior is bad.
We haven't felt that you spec weapons too much only during levelup so we're happy with it right now."

Swell, then give shamans three different weapon specialisations if that's your philosophy.

Bearclaw · 10-12-2008, 08:26 AM

Mounts have had swimming animations for a while, still, it seems like it would be silly.

For one, it would be ridiculous if you actually got a speed increase in the water. A person on horseback can't swim faster than a person alone. Giving a speed increase as if your Frostsaber was a speedboat would look stupid, and not giving a speed boost makes you wonder why they even allow this at all.

Plus, at least with some of the animations I've seen, the mount's head is underwater a lot and it looks like it's struggling not to drown with some cruel, abusive gnome on its back.

Yes, a revisit to Azeroth. Hmm, come to think of it, Varian Wrynn started the 4th War. COuld it be the 4th expansion is about the 4th War?

It will be awesome to play the 4th War as an MMORPG not as a player of an RTS

And about the Bard, I know... that's why I said "I hope they're serious"
