Huhu,

WoW Guru berichtet darüber das sie womöglich die Notes für das WoW Add-On zugespielt bekommen haben.

Ich persönlich finde das das ganze sich sehr komisch ließt und glaub das sie weit (sehr weit ^^) davon entfernt sind echt zu sein, aber bildet euer Urteil selbst:

[] World of Warcraft Expansion: Legends of Azeroth

New Realms will opened for Expansion users only where the expansion changes are effected.

Character transfer to expansion realms from all realms will be permitted for all existing realms.

Expansion Realms Type.

Experience Azeorth in whole new light. Experience whole new adventures, expanded areas, you'd hardly recognise it. Larger, more dangerous, more mysterious, the never-ending struggles of Azeroth take the next level to titanic porpotions.

The Level Cap has now been extended to 100. This will take place in two phases. First to 75, then later to 100

The Expansion also comes with an Audio-enabled program that allows players to speak to one another - you will need a microphone to communicate.

GAME EFFECTS:
Fully new implemented Weather System.

Rain, fog, mist, thunder storms, snow storm, sand storms, dust storms, wild fires, haze from heat all visible and dynamic with sound effects.

Random effects of winds. 7 degrees of winds from very light to very strong. Tree branches sway, in strong winds character movement can be slowed by as much 20%

Distinct climates worldwide from Constant winter, to temperate and Tropical

Player animation has changed accordingly:

Visible differences between wet and dry hair. Wind movements and strength affect hair.

Also clothes correspond to weather, cloth gets wet and looks drenched in rain whiles mail has a glossy sheen. Capes if visible, flap

Perspiration and sweat is visible on faces and clothes and takes shorter time to appear in Hot climates and days, a longer time at cooler periods and hardly ever in snowy climes..

Weather affects blow air rides like Gryphons off course, freak storms can materialise anywhere sending Ships off course.

Over 100 new player animations and visuals including 5 variations of each. in particular new /sing , /scream emotes.


VISUAL AND AUDIO EFFECTS
An audio visual pack has been added on 2 special CDS that contain the additions. Options exist to turn some of these on or off.

No less than 75 cut-scenes for quests and battle grounds. [Cut-scenes cannot be viewed if collecting or delivering a quest while still in a party]

Animations for over 500 quests

Speech implementation for ALL quests from NpCs

World topography has been refined to be clearer, mountains are for more varied, the thousand needles peaks for example look razor sharp and more versatile vegetation has been added.

You can sink in snow or sand

Running in water, snow, sand or dusty regions creates visible splashes and dust/sand/snow clouds.

Movement speed responds accordingly to analogue controls, and vibrations can be physically felt on appropriate controllers.

The music library has been severely expanded, no two areas will sound the same, instances have new exciting theme tunes characteristic of the instance. Even taverns have different music depending on what racial capital you are in, with audible laughter, ordering, shouts, fights taking place.

NpCs can be heard advertising there wares, children rushing from learning houses during the day, market places come alive and work places thrive. New sounds for throne-rooms of all racial leaders.


DAY & NIGHT

Day and Night are no longer uniform worldwide, night in Kalimdor is day on Azeroth: It is mid afternoon in westfall whiles late-afternoon - dusk in Quel'Thalas

Distinctly different luminosities for dawn, early morning, afternoon, late-afternoon, dusk, twilight , night.

Night luminosity varies from very dark requiring a light to see anything to starlight/moonlight night, or settlement light.

Expanded Old Areas
World areas and Lost Areas.

Lost Areas

Random maze-like instances outdoors are generated every time you are declared as lost. You lose your marker spot on the map and your minimap goes blank. However instead of combating mobs, you must use intuition and find clues to help you out of them.


Every territory has a "lost" zone which is an external instance that resembles the area but which you cannot exit by simply walking to a fixed area. There is no sense of direction here, and you must find and use certain clues that will help you out.


You don't choose when to enter a "lost" area, you have a very high chance of being transported to the territories "lost" area by random exploration through that territory in particular areas you haven’t “discovered” yet. Your chances of getting lost in an area are almost non-existent once you discover the area.


However discovery of an area now requires you to have been through over half it's area. The experience has been raised dramatically as well.


You are also deposited in a random lost area if the victim of a freak storm while on gryphon/wyvern/hippogrriff back or travelling by Ship or Zepphlin. You woudn’t be transported to an area half way across the world, however sometimes you can be blown well off course.


To exit the “lost” zone you must complete certain tasks.

Existing Areas
[liMany outdoors areas have been expanded, some doubling in size, new settlements, dungeons and structures have been added.


Some new areas within old ones two have been added to accommodate new starting areas.


Specific detail has been given to houses, workplaces, taverns, shops. Visible tools and equipment can now be seen where appropriate. Workmen working. Shop items can now be seen displayed on walls and shelves but can still be selected via right clicking on the shopkeeper NPC.

Other World Area Changes

In addition to all areas being expanded to one degree or another - Major towns such as Southshore, Auberdine, Kharanos, Cross Roads, Ratchett, Bloodhoof Village, Razor Hill and more have been redsigned and expanded to look like towns rather than villages.

Stromgarde, Aeries Peak & Hinterlands, Stahnbrad in Alterac, Tauren Settlements in the Thousand Needles and Feralas as well as those zones have all been particularly extensively expanded. The Charred vale for example is partially Forested again, and partially burnt


A lot of attention to detail was given to Horde and Goblin areas with the trebling in size of Gadgetzan and Everlook, the addition of 2 new goblin towns of smaller size. Additional Orc settlements in the Barrens, with Night Elf and Tauren expanstions on Stone Talon Mountain.


Some neutral factions like the Argent Dawn and the Emerald Circle and others have been given settlement camps in their main areas of operation, and HQs in all major cities


A neutral Ogre town has been opened up in the expanded Tanaris. and the Theramore Isle human settlement has doubled in size and now stretches a greater distance into the marsh.


A rebel Silithid Hive in the Un'Goro crater, neutral, has been opened, with quests to do and repuatation to earn. The Crater's mountainous region has been expanded and a small neutral village has opened up in the north section.


Some Areas’ level requirements of have been altered to accomodate the starting areas of Trolls & High Elves. Stone Talon Mountain has expanded to an Upper & Lower section, the Upper section accomdates the starting area for the Dryads.


The world has almost trebled in size with the many new additions and zones to facilitate moving around, it is now possible to purchase a mount from as early as level 5
At Level 40 you may acquire a battlemount, trainable in 8 differnet types of warfare.
What was considered an epic mount before the expansion is no longer
New Seahorse (can move on both land and sea) mount has been added for Naga. Treant Mounts for Dryads (The Dryad can assume a two legged shape for mounting, they look like nightelves but with leaves and twigs as hair and thorny claws for fingers), Mechanical Tin Shredders for Goblins.

It is now possible to train riding skills in any races racial mount, however, battlemounts have specific advantages for their native race, allowing them to boost racial abilities.


Special Gnome and Goblin transports are available in most cities towns and villages that assist direct transportation to nearby territories or areas within territories.


All cities and flight paths have been given multitude stables and hatcheries to emphasize the volume of transport available. Depending on server population and day times, varying numbers of flyers and mounts are spawned in the hatchery and stables

General Structural Customisation
Gates and Doors are closed at night time for most towns and cities except for night elven settlements where the opposite occurs, closing at day time. You may still go into shops at night, but after a certain time, you will have to knock on the closed door, and the shopkeeper may charge you extra, the opposite true for night elves.

CITIES
All cities have been expanded both internally and externally, many given underbellies and dungeons. NpC and shops have been detailed, the amount of NpCs increased tremendously. Cities now have themed activities, fairs and markets. Each City has a disntict activity Ranging From Gladiator Arena fighting to racing and Fishing where you may compete against members of your own faction and neutrals.

Undercity: Has several entirely new sections, some in the ruined Lordaeron above. Others accessible only through tunnelled sewers that stretch north into Lordaeron

A second Night Elven city has been opened up in Mount Hyjal, it is also home to Furblogs and refugee blood elves. Details to follow as it is a high end-game level area.

Gnomeragan:
The Gnome capital city has been opened up and is now the starting area for Gnomes. It’s been fully fitted out, with new structures visible from outside, a main train station port, and looks once more like a city with homes, trading areas, Throne castle/lab for the tinker. A dungeon area etc.

The Zul'Farrak Dungeon has been redsigned as a City and is now the opening area for Trolls. The cities boundaries have been re-placed, now having part lie within the desert of tanaris, part in the Thousand Needles and another part in the lush mountains of the Un’Goro Crater. A starting area zone has been created in the expanded thousand needles area that almost triples in size leading directly into Mulgore.

High Elves now share a starting area with the Dalaran Humans. The region surrounding Dalaran has been greatly expanded to accommodate the new starting area and the expansion of South Shore and Alterac.

Goblins start in a new low level Island South of Booty Bay. Furblogs in Teldrassil which has also been extended.

Naga homecity is a partially submerged city just off an Island halfway between the Maelstrom and Kalimdor.

Alliance trams now start off in Gnomeragan.
Zepplins and Ships are now subject to be blown off course by freak storms stranding inhabitants on random islands where they can face challenges.

The Number of NpCs in towns and cities, settled areas has been greatly increased. Trade centres are visible for what they are, litter is evident in the human, Ogre, Troll and dwarven cities, with
cleanning crews seen tidying up at a fixed time each day after market closes.

PROFESSIONS


All professions have many new item additions to lower and post level 60

Maximum Skill extended to 500

Master & Legend ranks available all through special quests.

Mini Professions – Jobs In need of money? Need a paid job? Many taverns, shopkeepers, librarians, farmers are now hiring where you can select anything from a 30mins – 24hr shift of doing a job quest. For e.g. in taverns, you have to serve drinks or take food from the cook to tables [cities have been expanded considerably and details made to match], throughout your shift, you have to quell random disturbances and fights. Listen to tall tales – or a farmer’s hand where you have a challenge to plough the field one shift, plant seeds another, weed a third, douse a fire or even repair his broken machine, if you’re not an engineer, you’ll need to find one quick or miss out on your payment.

4 new primary professions added and 1 Secondary

Several design changes to existing professions, on some gear, potions and devices you may customise what ability statistic or effect is applied by a slight variation of ingredients, for e.g. your chest piece may have Spirit instead of stamina by using green opals instead of red ones, +4 of 1 and +5 of the other instead of5/4 or 4/4 by having 4 green opals and 1 red.

Certain items can also have certain special abilities added to previously made or bought items if you are a Master or Legend, but you need to discover what does what, and sometimes bad combination can ruin a piece. A master alchemist can add an ingredient to an existing potion to add the effect of a size increase or turn into a skeleton. Or the Master Engineer add a red crystal to the bomb construction to give it a slow effect in addition

All manufacturing professions require the use of key tools, and animations have been added to each. For e.g. going to the forge to make leg piece will now animate the action of putting the ingredient on the anvil and raising the hammer to refine it, sparks may even fly on weapons where you visibly sing in oil/water tanks to cool after visibly heating in forge. The more complex the item, the more specialised a forge you may need. A tailor would need a sewing machine and items to make certain pieces and will be animated taking a seat and making the item in the time period. Items that can be tailored without can be made anywhere but will be animated as the PC will sit, take out a needle and cloth, and a sewing action ensue. Similar, some Alchemy or Engineering potions and devices require to go to a full lab in cities and stand at desks with equipment to make whiles others that don’t require, will have the animation simulated, you will see a vial being held the herb being crushed and ground, you pour some water into it the vial and swirl to make a potion. Some may require heat of a fire in which case you’d need to at least learn cooking enough to make one.
Making purple and rarer items now yields experience points.



GAME DYNAMICS

New Faction: Neutral - whiles not a faction as such it simply means unaffiliated with Horde or Alliance. The Steamwheedle Cartell and the Argent Dawn are neutral factions for example. Whiles Stormwind, Darnassus and Ironforge are Alliance Factions, the Hyjal Elves are Neutral, Thunderbluff, Ogrimmar and Zul’Farrak are Horde Factions, despite the fact that Taurens may start off neutral. Gnomeragan & Undercity are Alliance & Horde leaning factions.


You can now change faction affiliation. Only Human and Dwarves start off default as Alliance, and Orcs & Trolls defaulted as Horde and Goblins the Neutral Steamwheedle Cartell. The rest can choose between Neutral and Horde or Alliance. [Elves (night & High), Gnomes, are neutral and are free to join a faction after doing some basic quests in the major settlements of the faction.]. Whiles Humans are defaulted to Alliance, they can choose Neutral to start with, however becoming horde is as hard as it is for an Orc to become Alliance.


You may also be part of certain smaller factions such as the Argent Dawn, the Cenerarion & Emerald Circles, the Bloodsail Buccaneers and more.


The Horde and the Alliance are the two Main Factions the PvP Honour system and the Conquest system are based around. Neutral .


Rival factions that are at war with yours will be flagged as hostile in all territories you encounter them except in their territory where in the PvP game, you have the option of disabling PvP whiles in your factions territory or zone.



Quests

Added over 1500 additional quests and epic quests.

Many new race specific quests, and class specific quests.


Some quests can now only be taken and completed at certain times.


We have introduced a more dynamic system that spawns necessary numbers of mobs for quests that involve killing x number of mobs. Meaning that certain mobs you will only see one or two of if casually passing by (unless there are quests involving those types of mobs that demand otherwise). However if you have a quest that pertains to the mob in the area, an appropriate number are spawned as you approach the area, growing if you are accompanied. We found this did the following
[ul]
a) created the surprise factor for wandering adventurous who weren't on that quest,

b) gave a sense of completion to those who had finished a quest, afterall, if you are thinning the population of Gnolls in region x, you'd like to notice that you've had an effect, rather than see the whole lot respawned every time you pass.

c) This saved computer resources considerably and allowed appropriate numbers to be generated based on the number of people taking the quest who were in the specific are it spawned.

New 120-man titanic quests and battles have been introduced, this often have a racial leader and sometimes an army accompanying you. 120-man activities can link up to 3 full 40 man raids.


Miscellaneous quests and activities: Added to many cities and areas are activities you can partake in, such as Racing on tracks, or Tournaments in Arenas where spectators will gather to watch competitors, you will duel both PCs and NPCs and will have to progress to the last round to win. Each Capital city has a unique activity associated with it.


Some quests done in the original game have been replaced with new ones, for e.g. The Charred Vale being partially restored no longer has the old quests there, but new ones.

Battlegrounds
An additional 10 battlegrounds

Instances.
30 new instances added. Including level 75+ Instance for Uldan and Uldranan. Instances added at Northrend, Southrend, Hyjal, The Maelstrom, Quel’Thalas, Ferelas, Un-Goro, Dustswallow Marsh, Thousand Needles, under each capital city, Dalaran, Stranglthorn Vale, Duskwood, Badlands, Dun Morogh, Loch Modan, Arathi, Lordamere, Da’arsalan, Nagarathis. Spread through out the levels, a few original instances were closed such as Gnomeragan and Zul’Farrak.


Many Old Instances updated with new quests and new troubles


New type Realm : Conquest
Expanded Honour and Reptuation System!

EXCLUISVE CONQUEST REALM SYSTEM
Conquest realms has a worldwide theme available. The aim is to gain control of 2/3 of all territories for your faction.

It's a side game that is intended to be done gradually and designed so that normal questing and game play can continue despite it. You must win over a territories to the faction you have allied yourself with.

The aim is to pvp in groups or raids. Go to a Capital City of a race allied to your faction. There you can speak to a battlemaster to begin the conquest. Note this must be done otherwise any fighting in settlements will not be regarded as official victories.

You win a territory over by conquering the opposing faction's settlements/towns or bases.

You conquer a settlement/town or base by first having selected it with the battlemaster, then proceeding with your party or raid to the town and eliminating all NPCs and players.

The battle is declared as started once your party attacks any NPC guard or opposing faction PC in the area. After starting, you have a certain period of time called the joining period to call re-enforcements to your group from fellow faction members in the area or abroad. After joining period is over any new member arriving in the area will not be able to engage in pvp battle in that area till the battle is over.

The battle is over when you've killed all NPC guards and all opposing faction PC members that were part of the fight.

To prevent endless fights, once battle has commenced for settlement, you are given up to 5 times to die. After five deaths within that battle, you are flagged off for pvp in that area entirely for the duration of the battle unable to attack/heal or be attacked. IF your faction loses the battle, you are flagged off for pvp in that area for 120mins, however the controlling faction can initiate a conflict with you.

Once you win a settlement, all opposing faction NPC guards are replaced with the your faction NPC guard. The race of the guards depends on what racial capital city you selected the conquest for. And your faction and racial flags are &&$%ed.

In conquered settlements, the beaten faction PCs may still enter freely to hand in quests and purchase goods with the non-guard npcs who still remain unchanged. However the victorious faction can now buy items from the conquered factions NPCs. The conquering faction PCs are not allowed to attack the conquered factions PCs and vice versa unless the battle to reclaim the town has commenced. This is ensured by the NPC guards attacking any PC who starts attacking an opposing member. That way, ganking should be prevented for the conquered faction PCs who need to enter the settlement to hand in quests and trade.

Your faction can win back a settlement by contacting the battle-master in the racial capital the conquered settlement belonged to. Then proceeding with you raid group and initiating the battle by right clicking on any NPC guard. This then starts up the battle timer once more.

Each settlement, town or base now has an NPC guard leader depending on it's size and strategic importance. A settlement cannot be claimed without eliminating this boss.

Only contested territories are controllable in this way. Your faction, must seize control of all enemy settlements before the territory is declared as belonging to your faction.

Once you control 2/3 of the world, the server server records a win and the faction scores will be displayed on a special page of the website. Also special items and money will be granted to all participants.

Anyone may participate in conquest at any time, how much reward and reputation you receive once the game has been won depends on how many conquests you participated in.

At a later date, we will expand this to include capital cities, the aim will extend to, once having conquered 2/3, you must then proceed to win a battle for a capital city. Each capital city would have a surrounding territory that isn't contested. You must win just one surrounding territory and then the battle for the capital city commence. You only need one capital city to win the game.

Reputation & Honour System Changes.
Reputation's importance has been increased for all factions and racial alliances. Each racial faction has a settlement and territory you can now gain reputation for.

You gain reputation by completing quests largely, once you are gain a pvp rank, and the "Honoured" reputation with the town or area, you can choose to become an enlisted defender of the settlement. You do this by speaking with the settlements NPC leader or magister, or if an area, a designated NPC in a neighbouring town or city. Some such NPCs you must actually look for. Some settlements like major towns or capital cities require a minimum PvP rank to become a defender.

Being a defender means you get visual and audible recognition from the townspeople whenever you interact, and as you move to "Revered & Exalted" that increases.

There is a PvP element to a defender, whenever the settlement or area you have chosen to defend is undergoing a Conquest battle, you are alerted wherever you are on Azeroth and given the option to immediately teleport to an area near the settlement or zone being fought for, and you must join the battle before it closes off.

Defending your settlement successfully raises your reputation most with the settlement, and also with the settlements' racial capital. You are also rewarded for fending off the invasion with money. The extent your reputation rises depends on how many successful kills you made, and how many of your five lives you did not spend.

Failure to answer the summons to defend will decrease your reputation and losing the battle will lower rep for all defenders.

When nearby towns are being fought for, defenders from surrounding areas who do not have a high enough pvp rank to be listed as a town defender, may also be called, they are not penalised for not answering the call however, they gain higher reputation with the town they help and with the settlement or area they are defenders off.

Conversely, higher ranked pvp-honoured members able to be called defenderse of the larger settlements, are not informed when lower settlements are under attack, however they can lose reputation if they are high enough in rank to become Territorial Defenders and they failed to assist. (however the amount lost is smaller)

Having an exalted reputation with an area or settlement allows you to ride the settlements mount type and for certain quests and tasks you may have an npc defender from that area accompany you. He follows you passively but can defend you, or in a manner similar to pets, you can direct him to attack hostile targets. However that is the extent of your control. He mounts up when you do on a mount of his own, or should you not have one, he works. The number of guards you can enlist from your town depends on your reputation.

Higher reputation now also opens up access to new quests and plots.


GUILD MANAGEMENT CHANGES
Guilds play a much larger role now. There are better customisation menus, allowing you to better structure your guild, add notes, plan events with the scheduler.

Due to the expansion of Capital cities and some towns, guilds are now permitted to buy a headquarter within a capital city or a town. However it does not come cheaply. Your guild flag of similar design to your tabard will be displayed over the building.

All guilds can now have a trading house accessible via an NpC in your guild house, or if you do not have one, the auction house in a capital city. You can access wares sold by all guilds via the auction house, where you can search items by guild, or by item type where the name of the guild selling will be displayed. Guild members can be afforded a discount by the guild that is set by the guild master or a guild officer he can designate as treasurer. Discount rates can be set per rank as well.

Guilds can gain special reputation with factions when they exclusively partake in conquest campaigns as a guild.

Build YOur Guild House.
The world structures change from time to time, certain areas in or near capital cities or HQ of the faction your guild is associated, can have a guild house build. Guilds can either rent empty properties in towns or cities, or alternatively pay for ones to be build in the surrounding area.

After paying a high price, you can select several designs of accomodationi for your guild, each area can only have designs similar to those of the town/city they make their chapter house. The larger the dwelling the more expensive.

Once done, thhe request submitted to the GM HQ in the area, a structure would be &#&$%ed in after the weekly maintenance scheduled. Certain areas can reach a limit of new buildings, however there are many areas worldwide near towns and villages and faction HQs that we have provided sufficient land area for guild structures. Should an area be full near one town or city, then try another. [there are enough areas to cater for the maximum population of a realm players to each have a house - while this is not possible on an individual basis, we may seek to implement it later]


You recover rest state in your guild house and can have your hearthstone set to it.


New Item Types:
Ring slot has been expanded to five.
Items now have a weight factor that you cannot exceed even if you haven't used up all your slots.
Strength ability now directly increases that.[/]

Das ganze liest sich sehr krass... irgendwie schon viel zu viele Features für ein einziges Addon. Wäre sehr derbe wenn Blizzard das alles in ein Addon packen will. Ich würde es dennoch begrüßen, denn so wäre erstmal wieder langer Spielspass garantiert. Besonders auf einen Nekromanten würde ich mich sehr freuen <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />.

Na mal schauen am 28.10 werden wir wohl mehr wissen....

@Nerwenios, Du hättest vielleicht noch die Anmerkung von "WorldOfWar.de" (Hervorhebung by /me):[]Auf WoW Guru findet man Gerüchte zum Expansion Set und mögliche Patch Notes. Wenn man jedoch ehrlich ist, liest sich das eher wie ein "Das hätten wir alles gerne Blizzard" als wie echte Patch Notes. Trotz alledem ist die Liste einen Blick wert. Träumen wird ja wohl dürfen <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Sollten sich einige oder viele Punkte davon doch erfüllen, sind wir auch nicht traurig.[/] hinzfügen können <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Weil es sind _sicherlich_ "Wunschnotes".

Man kann halt nur abwarten was auf der Blizzcon bekannt wird. Bis jetzt gab es ja schon viele gefakte Patchnotes. Und in diesen sind wirkliche etwas zuuuuu viele Features drin <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />. Wäre aber dennoch toll <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Wäre teilweise auch meine Wunschliste .

Ich sag nur:[][...]
Mini Professions &#150; Jobs In need of money? Need a paid job? Many taverns, shopkeepers, librarians, farmers are now hiring where you can select anything from a 30mins &#150; 24hr shift of doing a job quest. For e.g. in taverns, you have to serve drinks or take food from the cook to tables [cities have been expanded considerably and details made to match], throughout your shift, you have to quell random disturbances and fights. Listen to tall tales &#150; or a farmer&#146;s hand where you have a challenge to plough the field one shift, plant seeds another, weed a third, douse a fire or even repair his broken machine, if you&#146;re not an engineer, you&#146;ll need to find one quick or miss out on your payment.[...][/]Ansonsten ist das ziemlich viel Geklaut von Spielen wie z.B. "Dark & Light" (Wetter, "Spuren im Schnee", etc.) bzw. Ausgedacht.

Alleine das Levellimit macht es einfach nur noch unglaublich <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Wenn man sieht das 59-60 schon lange dauert, wie soll es erst mit 99-100 werden. Und so Levelerhöhungen bin ich immer vorsichtig, weil die ganze Welt muss geändert werden. Alle bisherigen Drops sind dann lowdrops und ein Level 100 Char macht UBRS mal eben Solo...

Aber wäre cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Level 60 Lowlevel sucht einen der ihn durch UBRS zieht...

meine güte, wer macht sich denn da die mühe und denkt sich sowas aus....

allein das "grafikupdate" mit NPC'S, wetter und so macht das ganze total lächerlich, weil WoW gerade do ausgelegt ist, dass man massenPvP haben kann....

LVL-Cap-Erhöhung....wird es nicht geben....niemals....sthet im FAQ.....

es soll irgendwann mal hero-classes geben,quasi ne spezialisierung....

Hab das auch alles vorhin gelesen - klingt seeeeeeehr unglaubwürdig. Wetter is ja wohl schon länger im Gespräch, aber der Rest?!?

Das mit den Gildenhäusern wäre was, aber dann müsste man IF wirklich 5stöckig machen

Aber eine Sache fänd ich als alter Zwerg gut: Die Elfen raus aus der Allianz

Hmm, komisch. Laut den Büchern stehen die Aerie Zwerge doch so auf Elfen-Waldläufer <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Battlestorm, die Guildenhäuser könnte man nach Vorbild von Neocron machen. Da bist Du in einen Fahrstuhl gestiegen und hast den Code zu Deinem persönlich Appartment eigegeben und der Fahrstuhl hat Dich hingebracht.
Man könnte einen Fahrstuhl zu den Guildenhäusern erstellen und einen Fahrstuhlführer hinstellen.

Wetter fänd ich toll! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Erhöhung des Skillcap wäre für mich ein Grund umgehen zu quitten!

Insgesamt zuviele Änderungen für ein Addon...

Priest wieso? wenn die Skillpunkte für Berufe erhöht werden würden gäbs eben neuere bessere Rezepte. Was daran auszusetzen? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Was ich allerdings befürworten würde wäre eine neue Klasse pro Rasse oder eine spezielle Klasse pro Fraction (Deathknight für die Undeads z.B. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> wobei das eher an Hero Klasse grenzt), und evtl. Hoch/Blutelfen als Rasse (Blutelfen leider unwahrscheinlich, Elfen wären da gut möglich einzubauen <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />)

Argh sorry, ich meinte Erhöhung des Levels von 60 auf 100!!!

Für mich liest sich das so, als hätten die Schreiber beliebte Teile aus anderen MMOPRG's zusammengesucht und dann WoW angepasst.

Und - um ehrlich zu sein - ich würde eine Menge dieser Änderungen gar nicht *wollen* - Level und Skill Cap Erhöhung zum Beispiel.

Neue Server / Realms, auf die man wechseln kann - bloß nicht - ich sehe schon ewige Diskussionen wer auf welchen Server wechseln will oder eben nicht etc.

Naja, warten wir einfach den Blizz-Con ab, dann wissen wir mehr <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.

hi hi, ich würde mal sagen so sieht WoW nach 5 Jahren online aus.

Wir werden Sehen was kommt.Derzeit habe ich nocht reichlich spass mit den nach und nach kommenden Patches.Dem PvP und den High lvl runs.Aber das sie
weiter und weiter am spiel arbeiten und es es dadurch am leben halten find ich klasse.Geschrieben wird viel.Wenns live geht sehen wirs <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

So neuer Diskussion Stoff <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

WorldofWar.de schreibt:
[]Manchmal passieren seltsame Dinge. So zum Beispiel auf der Internetseite eines italienischen Magazins, wo man lesen konnte, dass das Level Cap - also die Levelobergrenze für Charaktere mit dem WoW Addon auf 70 angehoben wird. Einen kleines Bildchen dazu gab es auch, doch das wurde leider innerhalb kürzester Zeit entfernt und durch das Cover des Magazins ersetzt. Nun, ein besseres Argument für den Beweis der Echtheit dieser Meldung kann es kaum geben, nicht wahr?

Die Rede ist übrigens von einem Magazin namens TheGamesMachine. EIne Diskussion darüber gibt es auch bereits in den Foren von PCGamer. Der Originalsatz der Meldung lautete Blizzard astonishes all carrying us to the Seventieth Level.

Man muss sich unweigerlich die Frage stellen, wohin das Anheben des LevelCaps führen würde und wird. Nehmen wir doch die Fragen unseres Lesers nobbie auf und reichen sie an euch weiter:

* Was bedeutet Level 70 für WOW? Werden Blackwing Lair & Co. zu Dungeons, die man im Schnelldurchlauf farmen kann?
* Was ist mit den Talenten, gibt es 10 neue Talente?
* Welche Folgen hat dies für das PvE Balancing und auch PvP?
* Was ist mit den ganzen "Ãœber-Items", für die man monatelang MC, Onyxia und BWL "durchgeochst" hat? Ist alles bald wertloser "Müll", der dann von jedem x-beliebigen grünen oder blauen Level 70-Item/-Set übertroffen wird?
* Setzt die Inflation und damit das absehbare Ende von WOW mit der Expansion ein? [/]

[]One of the two new races in the expansion, seems to be the Blood Elves. Although it has not been confirmed by an official source there have been leaked images and rumors floating around.

The Blood Elves would be the new Horde race, we are unsure of what the Alliance race will be. It was announced by Blizzard recently that they'll be showcasing one of the new races from the expansion (one of two most likely) at Blizzcon.

If you have any ideas, feel free to reply to this post with what you think the Alliance race will be, if you think Blood Elves really will be the new Horde race, where the Blood Elves home city will be, etc..

It also seems that the level cap will be bumped to 70 in the expansion.

Let us know what you think!

-- An update

Earlier the magazine cover for an Italian magazine TGM had a headline giving the expansion name, and a subtitle saying the game reaches the 70th level. The cover image has since been changed, this more or less should confirm this source of information.

Keep in mind it still has not been confirmed what either of the new races are for the expansion, and may not be known until Blizzcon.[/]

Erhöhung des Level Cap wäre ich persönlich dagegen, gerade weil MC dann "easy" going wird und unsere Items fast wertlos werden ...

Blutelfen würde ich begrüßen <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Blutelfen würden definitiv rocken. Beim Levelcap dagegen wird mir schon etwas übel. So viel neue Arbeit und gerade die ganzen MC Runs wären zum großen Teil umsonst gewesen <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />.

Naja mal abwarten...

Levelcap erhöhen <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Klar, wie ich oben schon geschrieben hab, dann ziehen wir unsere Lowbes mit ein paar 70-100ern durch UBRS wie wir sonst die Leute durch Ragefire kloppen...

ich bezweifel, das die mc runs dadurch umsonst wären, wenn ich bedenke, das in AO die lvl cap um 20 lvl angehoben wurde und die vorherigen endgame armors trotzdem kein bischen an bedeutung verloren haben, naja gut, auf 220 gab es bessere armor, aber die unterschiede waren nicht so extrem, das man sich als übergimp fühlen musste...
ich würd mich über eine anhebung des lvl caps freuen, vielleicht, je nachdem wie es mit talenten umgesetzt wird, denn das ist es, was mir am meisten zu denken gibt

aber nur max um 10 Oo MEISTERLEVEL !:D

wäre ja mal nice wenn blizzard mal nachdenkt und vielleicht doch mal bei anderen games(p&p) abkupfert ... die epic klassen bei ad&d (bzw d&d nur noch) sind so wie ich es mir vorstellen würde. man bleibt defacto mit seinem main lvl 60 und gaint ein paar fette skills durch die epic klasse welche dann max lvl 10 hat. damit wird das bestehende system von instanzen usw nicht ad absurdum geführt und man kann neue instanzen einführen die einen dann mit den epic klassen fordern.

So WorldofWar.de zeigt Screenshots von den Blutelfen als Fraktion.
Ob die Screenshots echt sind oder nur Fakes ist Ansichtssache (obwohl ich finde das der weibliche Blutelf einem Fisch nicht allzu unähnlich sieht wenn man auf Gesicht achtet

Ich liebe die Gerüchteküche um WoW *g*

ähem.. klar und die allianz bekommt als neue Rasse den Pandabär ( siehe dein erster Screenshot <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )

Jo wieso nicht? *g*

Also den Pandabär halte ich auch für ein gewichtiges Anzeichen dafür, das es ein Fake ist...

Urbs

Könnte sich um einen Platzhalter handeln

So ganz gefaket sieht es nicht aus


Wie immer gilt : Abwarten und Jacky-Cola trinken (Tee für die kleinen)

naja, was eindeutig gegen die padaran als allianz char sprechen würde ist die tatsache, das sie sich eher zu den tauren hingezogen fühlen, da beide ein volk sind, das mit mutter erde im bunde steht... und bloodelves mhm naja unwahrscheinlich, da man ja schon einige von ihnen killen muss... aber wat solls, lang lebe die gerüchteküche <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
btw ein indiz das gegen bloodelves spricht ist die tatsache, das sie priester als klasse auswählen können

Das hier sind eindeutig die zwei neuen Rassen.

yeah vin diesel als rasse that rocks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Das sind Riddicks und keine Diesels... oder Multi-X'es (wie schreibt man sowas?) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Pandaren für die Allianz wäre geil <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hätte es aber umgekehrt gesehen, den irgendiwe sind in WoW die Blutelfen oder auch Hochelfen ehemalige Nachtelfen *g* und den Allianzlern freundlich gesonnen.

Aber die Rasse der Pandaren gab es ja uch in WC3 von daher möglich wäre es <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />. Pandaren Druide das wäre es, dann müsste ich mir noch einen Pandaren Drui machen.

Aber die Rassen Fertigkeit bei den Blutelfen ist ja schon leicht zu sehen <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

"May consume demonic...:"

recht merkwürdig <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Grüße
Haralin

@Haralin, ich glaube Grundlage für den Blutelfen Characterschirm war der Untote Character-Schirm - der kann "corpses consumen" um HP wieder herzustellen ("Cannibalize").

Also im Endefekt passt das alles nicht, Pandaren sind an und für sich Neutral mit Tendenz zur Horde, Blutelfen sind Burning Legion... (und nach WC3 sollten wir wissen, das sie spinnefeind mit den Nachtelfen und der Allianz sind, da die Blutelfen ja im Endefekt nur eine kleine Gruppe der Hochelfen sind, die sich unter Illidan zusammen geschlossen haben und an seiner Seite kämpfen, nachdem sie von der Allianz hintergangen wurden)
Ich würde wenn es wirklich neue Rassen geben sollte am ehesten auf Hochelfen für die Allianz (was aber wohl auch schwierig ist, aufgrund der Konflikte zwischen Highbornes und Nightelves...) und mhm gegebenenfalls Oger für die Horde tippen (wir wissen ja das ein kleiner Oger Stamm zur Horde Seite bekehrt wurde, was gegen die Oger spricht, wäre ein zweites minimales überbleibzel einer Rasse die ansonsten fast vollkommen anderen gegenüber feindlich gesonnen ist (siehe auch darkspear trolle))...
Also eigentlich sehe ich keine 2 Rassenmöglichkeiten für ein Addon, ausser man schreibt in der Zeit bis zum Addon noch einiges an Storyline hinzu, was ich nicht schlecht finden würde, wären 1 oder 2 neutrale Rassen, die sich im Laufe ihrer Existenz für eine Seite entscheiden könnten...

Äh und zu den Screenshots... da Outland im Moment die Heimat der Blutelfen ist... irgendwie sieht das lächerlich aus <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

...noch etwa eine Woche... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Auch auf der Blizzcon muss nicht zwingend zu viel bekannt gegeben werden, man darf nicht vergessen, das Blizzard da das zeigen kann, was sie wollen, und nichts wirklich zeigen müssen, was Sinnvolle infos über das Addon bringt (man kann sich ja kurzfristig entscheiden alles nochmal zu ändern oder so...)

Naja, es sollen ja auch zeitgleich Berichte in Game-Magazinen erscheinen...

Geil! MacGyver als rasse.... "oh mein gott, er hat eine büroklammer! nix wie weg!".....dann müssen sie aber noch "Selma&Patty" als Kettenrauchende Groopies implementieren!

Gerüchte halten sich hartnäckig das das Weihnachtsgeschäft mitgenommen werden soll.

Ka wer drauf kommt bei Zigzillionen verkauften Hauptgames

Also wirds langsam Zeit für Infos......hoffentlich wirds kein Schnellschuss

*** newsflash *** new release notes *** newsflash ***[]Thanks to Spy Bot from the forums for posting these in this thread:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently, because it is only ten or so days from the revealing of the expansion content at Blizzcon, I have decided to release what is PLANNED to be in the expansion. Enjoy. If you do not believe any of this, wait until October 29th and see most of this actually proven.

World of Warcraft - THE BURNING CRUSADE

The "Burning Crusade"

Illidan has gone insane, and already the alliance between the Draenei, Naga, and Blood Elves has began to crumble. The Naga once again wish to return to the sea, and the Blood Elves' hunger for demonic energies increases day by day... Illidan was tortured by Kil'jaeden after he failed to defeat Arthas - but finally, Kil'jaeden saw another task for Illidan. One that, if he failed, he would be sent into the twisted nether to be consumed by demons... Kil'jaeden then told him everything that had happened since his defeat.

As unexpected as it was, Illidan returned to his three allies and told them of this new plan to destroy not only the Scourge, but all other enemies that would ever oppose them.

Kael'thas and his Blood Elves were to go to the Forsaken for aid. Though they were undead, Illidan explained that their leader was a High Elf - Lady Sylvanas Windrunner, General of Quel'Thalas... or, used to be, anyways. Kael'thas saw this as a great advantage, as he had personally known her in the past. Though their hatred of the Trolls and Orcs was strong, Illidan told them of the new plague they were creating - to kill not only the Alliance, but the Horde as well.

Illidan told the Draenei of the pact with the Alliance they would have to make. He told them that this Alliance would aid in the slaying of the remaining orcs, the Draenei's most hated enemy. Reluctantly, Akama, leader of the Draenei, agreed to this, though only because they were in debt to Illidan for saving them from being destroyed by orcs years ago.

The Naga were to go into the sea of Azeroth, and cripple the Scourge of Northerend by sneaking in, killing groups of Scourge, and fleeing back to the sea before the Scourge's main forces could catch them. Eager to return to the oceans of Azeroth, Lady Vashj and the Naga agreed to this almost immediately.

Blood Elves have made an alliance with the horde by becoming Allies of Sylvanas. The Blood Elves also have claimed to the orcs to want to be rid of the demonic powers corrupting them, and that they wanted to be redeemed of the dark powers they once tried to harness. The orcs, though slowly and unsure, finally accepted the Blood Elves. In turn, the Tauren and Trolls also followed the example of the Undead and the Orcs, and accepted the Blood Elves as part of the new Horde.

Akama went to the Night Elves to plead. They told them of the demonic orcs that had forced them from their homeland, Draenor, and that they wish for an alliance against the Horde. The Alliance, though suspicious of the Draenei true intentions, has accepted the Draenei plead for an alliance.

Soon after Kael, leader of the Blood Elves, Lady Vashj, leader of the Naga, and Akama, leader of the Draenei, had left Outlands, Kil'Jaeden once again imprisoned Illidan within the Black Citadel and closed the Dark Portal to Azeroth... The Blood Elves, Naga and Draenei were meant to never return.

In the Royal Throne Room of Undercity, Sylvanas entered with many of her most powerful guards at her side. She had found out of the betrayal of Varmithras, and that the natherizim Balnazzar still lived. To her surprise, many undeads had already been slaughtered in the Throne Room... and Varmithras was nowhere to be found.

A dark Nightmare has enveloped the Emerald Dream, slowly corrupting it. Rumors have emerged that Archimonde has found his way into the Emerald Dream by using the powers of the World Tree before he died...

Max Level Increased

The max level players may now reach has been increased to 75, and many new max-level raid instances have been added to the game world.

New Races

Horde
Five races compromise the Horde, the brutal orcs, the shadowy undead, the spiritual tauren, the quick-witted trolls, and the reckless blood elves. Beset by enemies on all sides, these outcasts have forged a union tey hope will ensure their mutual survival.

Blood Elves
Serving Illidan to satiate their magical addiction, the blood elves have grown stronger than they ever imagined. But even now, with demonic magic in constant supply, many of the blood elves are hungering for even more magic.

Racial Traits:
Demonic Corruption - Due to their corrupted blood and their hunger for magic, the Blood Elves begin the game with +10 resistances to all types of magic. In Addition, all of their resistances to magical spells and effects, excluding Nature, are increased by 8%.

Available Classes: Warrior, Rogue, Mage, Priest, Warlock, Spellbreaker

Alliance
The Alliance consists of five races: the noble humans, the adventurous dwarves, the enigmatic night elves, the ingenious gnomes, and the mysterious draenei. Bound by a loathing for all things demonic, they fight to restore order in this war-torn world.

Draenei
Nearly wiped out by the Orcs during the early days of the Horde and then faced with the destruction of their entire world, the Draenei have become adept at survival and avoiding danger. Even knowing that the Burning Legion is the ultimate cause for their suffering, the Draenei survivors hope that their pact with the Alliance, and Illidan, will someday grant them a new homeland and, most importantly, help them in the eradication of their most hated enemy, the Orcs.

Racial Traits:
Unseen - Once every ten minutes, the Draenei may go invisible for fifteen seconds. This effect may not be cancelled, and the Draenei cannot attack or cast any spells, and they are also considered to be "in combat" for the entire time of this effect.

Available Classes: Warrior, Rogue, Hunter, Spellbreaker

New Class: Spell Breaker

Spell Breaker - Among the Blood Elves, there are those who show such an amazing aptitude for magic that they can become almost immune to it's effects and can even twist the spells of others to benefit themselves. Called Spellbreakers, they were the elite, holding mastery over all forms of magic. Now, with demonic blood flowing through their veins, these Spellbreakers and their allies among the Naga and Draenei have begun to evolve into demons themselves, with the most powerful able to manipulate the fabric of the Twisting Nether.

Spell breakers begin the game with leather armor but are able to use mail once they reach level fourty.

Examples of Specific Abilities:

Shadow Orbs: Summons several shadowy spheres to circle the caster's body. This spell will increase the player's parry/block rate, with each parry or block causing shadow damage to the attacker. Each attack blocked/parried in this fashion will cause an orb to violently explode, causing minor arcane damage to the attacker and decreasing the number of orbs surrounding the player until all orbs are gone and the effect ends. 30 second cooldown.

Demon Fangs: Fangs are often the first demonic trait evolved by Spellbreaker characters. Using this ability will cause you to attempt to bite your enemy, causing shadow damage and causing a Damage over Time debuff on the opponent, unless resisted. 3 minute cooldown.

Fel Strike: The Spellbreaker's weapon is charged with demonic energy, causing extra shadow damage every hit. Lasts five minutes.

Dark Whispers: Has a 75% chance to temporarily lower nearby enemies' attack power by 10%, lower their hit points by 5%, or lower their mana by 5%. Has a 25% chance to buff nearby enemies' attack power by 10%, hit points by 10%, or mana by 10%. Effect is random on every target. 1 Minute Cooldown.

Fel Concentration: Has a 50% chance to either slow casting time of the target by 10%, or making it 10% faster. May be used on Party Members or enemies. Lasts 5 seconds. 15 second cooldown.

Talent Trees:

Fel Protection - Centered around defensive abilities that allow the Spellbreaker a chance to survive when up against melee classes.

Fel Combat - Talents used to improve offensive spells and abilities used by the Spellbreaker.

Spellbreaking - Talents used to attempt to increase spell the spell resistances of the Spellbreaker.

Example Talents:

Spell Alignment: The caster attempts to align his body with the next spell cast upon him. Once hit by the spell, his body 'aligns' to that spell's school, making him immune to that spell school for 20 seconds. Lasts until a hostile spell is cast on the Spellbreaker. 15 minute cooldown. LEVEL 40 TALENT - Fel Protection.

Spell Reflection: For 20 seconds, all positive and negative spells used on the Spellbreaker are reflected at the caster. 15 minute cooldown. LEVEL 40 TALENT - Fel Combat.

Spell Absorbtion: For 20 seconds, all spells used on the Spellbreaker will cause normal damage, but the mana cost of the spell is added to the Spellbreaker's mana. LEVEL 40 TALENT - Spellbreaking.

Improved Demon Fangs: Damage caused by the bite of the demon fangs does 5%/10%/15% more damage and has its cooldown reduced by 15/30/60 seconds. 3 ranks. FEL COMBAT.

Melee Specialization: Chance to cause shadow damage on hit with a melee weapon is increased by 10%/20%. 2 ranks. FEL COMBAT.Improved Shadow Orbs: Damage caused by the shadow orbs is increased by 10%/20%/30%. 3 ranks. FEL PROTECTION.

Shadow Shield: Increases your chance to block with a shield by 2%/4%/6%/8%/10%. Also gives a chance to cause shadow damage equal to the amount of damage that had been blocked to the attacker by 5%/10%/15%/20%/25%. 5 ranks. FEL PROTECTION.

Fire Resistance: Increases your resistance to fire spells by 2/4/6/8/10. 5 ranks. SPELLBREAKING.

Frost Resistance: Increases your resistance to frost spells by 2/4/6/8/10. 5 ranks. SPELLBREAKING.

Shadow Resistance: Increases your resistance to shadow spells by 2/4/6/8/10. 5 ranks. SPELLBREAKING.

Arcane Resistance: Increases your resistance to arcane spells by 2/4/6/8/10. 5 ranks. SPELLBREAKING.

New Areas

Undermine:
The Goblins have finally accepted to allow the other civilized races of Azeroth onto their home of Undermine.

This is a level 60-65 zone, and is now the main hub of neutral transportation.

Quel'Thalas:
With the aid of the Horde and Argent Dawn, the Blood Elves drove some of the remaining Scourge out of Quel'thalas. The Blood Elves have started to rebuild their cities, and have unexpectedly found that some cities were untouched.

Gnomeregan:
After a long struggle, the Gnomeregan Exiles were finally able to retake their home, with the aid of both, Horde and Alliance adventurers. The Clean Zone is the new starting area for gnomes. Gnomeregan can take the player to about level 12 afterwhich they have to go to other areas.

The New Echo Islands:
Farther south of the Echo Islands was a large chain of many islands, which ended up also being named the "Echo Islands".

Nothing but beasts had lived on these islands when the trolls found them. It is the new starting area for Trolls. These islands can take the player to about level 12.

Northrend:
The Horde and Alliance are now able to reach the continent of Northerend, thanks to the aid of the Goblins of Undermine. A zeppelin will take the players to the town of Valgarde in Northerend, where they will begin many quests to oppose the Scourge. Northerend is a massive level 65-75 zone, and contains many new max-level instances.

The Emerald Dream:
The Emerald Dream is the primal heart of Azeroth. It is an echo of what the world would be like if intelligent beings had not altered its surface. The ethereal layer of the Emerald Dream shares the same space of the Physical layer one on top of the other - a parallel realm overlapping the physical world like an invisible and intangible layer. It is characterized by its green hue and verdant forests. The Emerald Dream, though, is like a perpetual time-frame of creation, back when the Titans reshaped the planet to bring order to chaos. Yet both realms share the same time. Time passes normally within the Emerald Dream as in the Physical world. The Emerald Dream is ruled by Ysera the Dragon Aspect of the Dream, empowered by Eonar the Titan to watch over the Emerald Dream realm. Lately, the Emerald Dream has been affected by the Nightmare. It is not a place. It is an effect that roams the Emerald Dream randomly affecting other dreamers and attacks them during their sleep. The nightmare twists and reshape the dreams corrupting the sleeping dream-form. Those trapped within the Nightmare are known as the Unwaking. Their physical form may die of starvation, not able to wake up as the affected can't escape the Emerald Dream. There are many magical and planar ways to reach the Emerald Dream. Sometimes, Ysera can't detect intruders that enter the Emerald Dream by means of magic plane-shifting. There are rumors that somehow Archimonde was able to affect the Emerald Dream through the World Tree. Since the World Tree was bound to the Emerald Dream, Archimonde might have found a way to infiltrate the Emerald Dream before dying. Only time will tell... The Emerald Dream is a level 70-75 zone which will have players attempt to cleanse the Emerald Dream of the Nightmare - and, if the rumors that are told are true, Archimonde will once again need to be defeated by mortals...

Transportation

All boats from neutral cities, such as Ratchet, and Booty Bay now connect to Undermine. New boats have been added to Steamwheedle Port, Menethil Harbor, and Theramore which will take anyone on it to Undermine. In addition, there is a new zeppelin which will take the player to Undermine. There is also a zeppelin on Undermine which will take the player to the shores of Northerend, to a town called Valgarde. All goblin-owned transportations now have atleast four level 62 Undermine Bruisers on them. Alliance-owned and Horde-owned transportation now force any members of the opposite faction on them into PVP, and are also now guarded by atleast four level 60 guards.

New High-End Instances

Naxxaramas Necropolis:
Within Stratholme, near the Slaughterhouse of Baron Rivendare, is the Naxxaramas Necropolis. Kel'Thuzad reigns the Undead Scourge from the Naxxramas Necropolis. This new 40-player, level sixty raid instance is equal in difficulty to Blackwing Lair, and will send the player to assault the Tower of Medivh.

The Tower of Medivh:
This tower was described by Medivh as an Hourglass. As the sand particles flow slowly through the hourglass clock, time flows in different places of the glass, allowing one to see the past - and future - of Azeroth. This is a 40-player max-level raid instance, much more difficult than Naxxaramas Necropolis.

Caverns of Time:
This is the lair of Nozdormu, one of the five great dragon aspects. Nozdormu, unlike most other dragons in the game, requires the aid of mortals. To repair damage done to the timeline, Nozdormu will send players on large raids into two 40-player, level sixty raid instances, and one 40-player max-level raid instance, the first two being equal in difficulty to Naxxaramas Necropolis, and the final being equal in difficulty to The Tower of Medivh.

Outlands:
The desolate place of Outland emits flashes of light and streams of energy. Outland is currently a way station. Many portals are still active within some of the floating asteroids, leading to other worlds. This new zone is for groups of five or more max level players. Among the creatures that inhabit Outland are Felboars, Phase spiders, Draeni, Fire Elementals, Fungal Horrors, Succubi, Nether Dragons(composed of nether energy, and not related to real dragons).

THE BLACK CITADEL:
Beneath the Black Citadel, there is a very large prison. Rumors have been created that heroes from past wars are still being held within this prison, and that even now the ruler of the Black Citadel tortures these heroes. Other rumors are that Kil'jaeden, the most powerful entity of the Burning Legion, dwells withing this Citadel, plotting the destruction of Azeroth. This is a large, 50-player raid instance.

GRIM BATOL:
Rumors have emerged that Alexstrasza and her dragonflight are keeping anyone from getting near Grim Batol. They are protecting something deep within its walls, a secret power. Some say they are protecting a powerful artifact or creature.

Some have gone as far as to speculate that Deathwing has been held captive and imprisoned within Grim Batol, though, others believe in the possibility that the creature that now holds the essence of the Sunwell might be under protection of the Red Dragonflight. Anyone who dares to venture into this max level 50-player raid instance will find themselves standing against the power of the Red Dragonflight, Alexstasza, herself. This is equal in difficulty to The Black Citadel.

THE LAIR OF MALYGOS:
Malygos lives in Northrend in a deep and complex cavern. He is known to gather relics of arcane power, keeping them locked away from mortals. Frozen Orcs, Nagas, Trolls and Wendigos are many of the victims of the horror of Malygos' power, and to display what happens to those who venture into the Lair of Malygos. This is a 50-player max level raid instance, equal in difficulty to Grim Batol.


ICECROWN MOUNTAIN:
Icecrown mountain is the most difficult instance to ever be in Azeroth, and will challenge anyone to stand against the power of not only the Lich King's armies, and his most trusted lieutenant, Anub'arak, but also the Immortal Lich King himself.

This is a 100-player max level raid instance, and will challenge the Horde and Alliance to work together to defeat the Immortal Lich King. To have the full 100 players, 50 players of max level on Horde and 50 players of max level on Alliance must work together, merging both groups of 50 into one large raid party. Upon Icecrown, Horde and Alliance may not attack eachother at any time, but are instead able to aid eachother. Leaders of the Argent Dawn have also worked together to teach the Alliance and Horde to understand both, Common and Orcish, so they may communicate as they work together to defeat the Immortal Lich King.

THE EYE OF YSERA:
Deep within the Emerald Dream is the Eye of Ysera. The Eye of Ysera is a large golden dome that randomly appears in the Emerald Dream, and the dome in which Ysera dwells. No one has ever been able to enter or penetrate the golden dome. That is, until the Nightmare came... And once again, if the rumors were true, this is where Archimonde will most likely be...

tun die offiziellen patch notes btw auch immer <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Ok das is schwer zu widerlegen hehe

Mal so generel: Wenn etwas von WoW Guru verlinkt wird, immer ein wenig skeptisch begutachten, die haben zu 90% nur klatsch und tratsch in den News, find ich aber persönlich immer ganz lustig was sich die Leute so wünschen und vorstellen <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

@Nerwenios, nicht das das bei inwow.de oder wow.gamona.de anders/besser wäre ...

Naja, bei WoW Guru ist das aber schon einen Schritt weiter <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Gamona hat dadurch das Gunslinger (ex-WoW Community Manager für Deutschland) haben einen gewissen, wenn auch evtl. kleinen Draht zu Blizzard.

@Nerwenios, wenn ich mir anschaue, das die News von WoWGuru einen Tag später direkt übersetzt/kopiert auf wow.gamona und inwow auftaucht, dann sehe ich da keinen Unterschied...

Naja mir gehts mehr um den allgemeinen Inhalt der Seiten.

WoWGuru -> 90% der News Leaked Patchnotes/addons/Gerüchte um zukünftige Instanzen/BGs -> 50% Des Seiteninhalts Gerüchte um Instanzen und neue Gebiete.

Gamona -> 70% Der News relativ informatives und vorallem Reales (Okay zur Zeit nicht, aber das ist verständlich) -> 95% des Seiteninhalts zu Klassen, Rassen, Bgs, Instanzen etc.

inWoW interressiert mich ehrlich gesagt nich so, schau ich eher selten vorbei.

Naja, ich suche mir lieber amerikanische Seiten für Info's über Klassen, Rassen, etc., weil es immer noch so ist, das die meisten deutschen Info-Seiten Ãœbersetzungen von amerikanischen Seiten sind. Da bleibe ich lieber bei dem Original und habe keine Probleme mit Ãœbersetzungsfehlern. Gute Beispiel dafür ist der Guide zu Zul'Gurub: wurde zuerst auf whataboutpp.com veröffentlicht und taucht dann später entweder auf Gamona oder inwow (ich merk mir das nicht so direkt) auf -- nur eben a) unvollständig und b) schlecht übersetzt.

Für die meisten Sachen sind die offiziellen Seiten sowieso die besten.

aber nen blood elve spellbreaker würd ich trotzdem gern spielen ... mimimi <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
