Tisk, tisk Blizzard, you're getting lazy

Q u o t e:
What sticks in my mind about Wrath of the Lich King is that the first introductory raiding instance is going to be a 25-man version of Nax. There's also going to be a CoT version of Strat. Wtb originality! something new please. Is there going to be no introductory 10-man like Karazhan? I very much enjoyed Karazhan. Seems to me like Blizzard is going to do the same thing with instances that they do with graphic models, just change the colors up a bit.

We have many things planned that I'm sure people will find intriguing and fun. I know people are trying to guess at what is to come given that there is only limited information about Wrath of the Lich King (purposefully so), but there is more that we will be talking about in all due time. (aka Soonâ„¢)

Q u o t e:
Neth -

How soon is soon for new talents/spells?

The mages are restless.

Not very soon, but not all too far off either. (Was that vague enough?) I'd like to lay out the caveat now that even when the new talents/spells/abilities are unveiled, things can and will most likely change over the course of the beta in order to balance things. I'm sure there will be plenty of people that feel x class or y class will be unbalanced based on new talents/spells/abilities, but like any expansion, it needs to be looked at within the context of the new range of gameplay that will be available... ie. 10 new levels, new gear, and new challenges.

Q u o t e:
Well Mr.Man in the blue hat,

I don't wear a hat. And at least if you're going to call me a man, call me Mrs. Man. ;)

Q u o t e:


so this trade marking on soon? is this for your own purposes or is that for blizzard's needs. and i think the dictionary has already secured the rights to that. j/k anything you can give us is cool as i know you have people ready to take the CM's heads off if they leak something before it has been approved. let us know what you got and i will try and use silencing shot to keep the trolls at bay.

Very kind of you. ;)

Q u o t e:


Don't lie to us.

You don't know anything of what's going on.

Clueless.

You're just a bolt in the machine that is Blizzard.

How dare you speak to me with confidence. Look away. Don't even look in my direction.

This is me doing the finger thing from my eyes to you... > < I'm watching you....

I'm not saying this to play the part of a victim here, so please don't take it that way. Given my experience in the MMO industry, change is harder to come about than people realize. There are those that want massive change and those that don't want any change. Somewhere in the middle is where most MMOs go.

We're making changes that will push the game forward and are still staying true to the nature of the world we've created. There will always be those that think it's not enough, and there will always be those that appreciate the work for what it is. For my own part, I'm looking forward to seeing the reaction of the community when they get to set eyes on Northrend at last.
