Quote: "b. Mounts
- Flying Mounts: now usable in the newly revamped Old World; Unknown at this time: if in all areas, if at all levels, if there will be an ‘unlocking’ requirement similar to Wrath
- Underwater Mounts are coming!
- Possibility of multi-passenger flying mounts!
- Will be an underwater transport system manned by Gnomes and Goblins; Submarines as big as the ships in Icecrown"

when in combat the worgen will always shift to the worgen form.

This one i know you all know, but im going to miss old world
Leave what you knew of Azeroth behind, ladies and gents, for Deathwing has blasted a path of destruction through everything we once held dear!

Thousand Needles: gets flooded!; Shimmering Flats becomes a lake.

- Southshore has been destroyed by tsunami!

- The Barrens has been split in two; one area for high-level and one area for low-level characters. Portions of the Barrens have grown lush thanks to the work of the druid Naralex. The passage into Mulgore has been reinforced by the tauren, with high walls and a gate.; Camp Taurajo has been burned down by the Alliance. The Alliance are also setting up a base in the Barrens.

- Stonetalon Mountains: Eruptions decimate the landscape, spreading the flames of the Charred Vale even further. The goblins have cut through the mountains, forming a valley that leads into Ashenvale. This valley runs where the tunnel between Ashenvale and Stonetalon was. A mountain has also collapsed in the Charred Vale, allowing access to the sea.

- Darkshore is flooded, Auberdine destroyed. A new Night Elf town will appear to the north. Shatterspear Village, previously a closed zone, becomes an accessible subzone. New quest hubs will be added both north and south.

- Ashenvale: Zoram'gar Outpost is reinforced with black iron, similar to the Horde outposts in Northrend. Zoram Strand, therefore, is now a full-fledged outpost. Astranaar becomes the victim of air assaults launched by the Horde.

- Azshara: now a low-level zone for Horde players, directly linked to Orgrimmar via a path carved through the rear to the Goblin city; from the air it will look like a giant Horde symbol, carved by the Goblins; the goblin city there will also sport a giant cannon emplacement; The zone will be intended for players level 15 and up; expect to see a Goblin version of Mount Rushmore!

- Desolace: Once a barren wasteland, the Cataclysm has caused a rift to form, allowing water to flood in from the coast and bring life back to the region. However, the region is now being invaded by demons, including shivarra. A Night Elven camp will be added. New flight paths and new quest hubs will be added.

- Blasted Lands: Will be opened up to the sea. New Worgen area will be found in the Tainted Scar.

- Azeroth will change for all players, regardless of whether the expansion is purchased

- Possible flight path to be included at the Eastvale Logging Camp (Elwynn)

- Plaguelands lowered to mid-level; Western Plaguelands, at least, will be free from the plague and "might need to be renamed".

- UC & SW redesigned to allow flying mounts; the Ruins of Lordaeron will now have a giant pit that reaches down into the Undercity

- Orgrimmar: As we know, the walls and structure are being reinforced with Northrend metals. Garrosh has taken over and kicked out all the races from the center of the capital with the exception of Orcs and Tauren

- Gnomer: Gnomes may be able to take it as a new capital city

- Starting Zones will all be reworked to some extent to make them more interesting - two races in particular "who have felt a little disenfranchised" will get some special attention (yeah, we know who they are!)

- The as-yet-unconfirmed-but-all-but-confirmed-gnomish-trollish changes will go into effect at least a few months before Cataclysm - part of the lead up events


c. Hunters
- No more mana! Focus will be used instead, similar in function to energy. Rate of regen will be approx. 6 per second, increased with abilities, etc.; Maximum of 100 Focus
- Ammo will now be equipped. No longer consumable.
- Taming mounts sounds interesting, but no word on whether this will actually happen
- Mongoose Bite will likely be removed



b. Druids
- New Moonkin forms coming for Troll and Worgen
- May be an epic travel form on the horizon
- Hopefully the new Tree form will be ready with the release

10. Dungeons/Raids
a. Old World Updates
- New sections of Blackrock Spire and Blackwing Lair
- Heroic versions (85) of Shadowfang Keep and Deadmines Im glad there making shadowfang more relevent its my fav dungeon!
Dog Model finally spotted: a Mastiff in Gilneas, the starting zone of the Worgen !!!! LOVE THE MASTIFF lol heres a picture.

Q. With the new skins for druid forms, what is the chance that warlocks might see race/faction specific demon skins or maybe a new one?

A. When you look around, there are a lot of say imp or voidwalkers we could use. It's something we talk about quite a bit. As for new demons, I hear warlocks are going to be getting some new spells for the next expansion...

Q. You mentioned pet scaling being added for patch 3.3 but due to time constraints, was delayed. Will this be in the next patch?

A. We'll try to do what we can. Technically it's just more challenging than you might think. For Cataclysm, we have on our list that 100% of stats scale. If they don't then certain stats just won't be as valuable for pet classes. At the very least, we can do stuff like convert your X into damage for the pet so every stat is valuable. Getting everyone to scale with every stat better is a major goal for the class team for Cataclysm.

Q. How will you handle beta testing if you don't want to spoil the Worgen/Goblin starting areas?

A. We didn't want to spoil them in Blizzcon. I imagine they will be in the beta. On the other hand, you can play the new higher-level zones if you don't want to spoil it. The goblin starting zone will blow your mind!

Q. Will Trolls ever get either their own capitol, or a district in Orgrimmar like the Gnome district in Ironforge?

A. Personally, I think it adds a little to the troll story that they have such an amazing cultural legacy and have fallen so far from that in recent history. That said, we have a little bit of love for trolls in Cataclysm (beyond the ability to be just about every class in the game).

cata comes out 11/1/2010

■Troll and Worgen Druids in WoW Cataclysm will get their own bear, cat, aquatic, and travel form I was hoping they wouldnt get the same water and travel forms like the druids we have now!
■Blizzard has considered and might in the future increase the speed of travel form to be inline with mounts

Okaaay...where did the release date appended on the end of the information come from? So far as I know, Blizzard has made no official announcement about the release date of Cataclysm yet, or it'd definitely be on the launcher, wouldn't it?

In all honesty, I haven't heard some of these things. Were did you get your info from? MMOChamp?

The only release dates that are known so far is what websites and stores put out for Pre-Orders. Those, however, are not real release dates...they just make something up since a Pre-Order requires a date. They'll adjust them when they know for sure.

This is from the wow forums... i put a link to it. They said that it was the release date for one of the shops that sold it (sorry i forgot to mention that) they dont know if its the actualy blizz release. Again this is from the world of warcraft website forums, posted by one of the highest rank members.

/face palm
So yeah, I totally didn't see that link you put up at the top... I blame it on my netbook. That's what I read this on first, so the little screen made me miss the link... Yeah... >>"

Gah! I get more and more excited for Cata every day! I can't wait to see all these changes in-game.

Lol its ok dragon, it happens to everyone ^^

What about AotC? :|

Tho outside of that, why haven't they finally updated Travel Form, Tree and Moonkin? I know I'm still happy as can be about bear/cat forms but it just makes you wince when you compare them to the rest of druid forms.

I'd really like Blizz to announce some numbers on the Focus cost of Hunter shots and whatever other abilities that used to consume mana but will now consume Focus. If they can do this, the theorycrafting can begin and we can have some idea of what we're doing when the changes go live.

It irks me that I'll be missing all the in-game world events because of the need to spend my time at the training dummies learning to play my class all over again.

I would'nt worry about the theorycrafting. When the beta comes out, there WILL be leaking, and quite a lot of it too.
It's always been this way, and I doubt it's about to change.
