Cataclysm Friends & Family Alpha Discussion

[Adam-Savage]

I'm gonna make a thread to talk about the current alpha build that is out. I'm not going to suggest anyone post anything that isn't already public.

I'm gonna start off with these images that I dugg up in the forums on mmo champion. I have no Idea if these are leaked or if they already exist.

EDIT: Deathwing Model

I fixed the images. They didn't wanna show for whatever reason.

[Nevar]

Oh! there we go Pretty -Thankies! The first most def is a tauren gate of some kind..looks to maybe be in the south barrens/thousand needles(not to sure about that one seeing as its gunna flood) The second is def a new horde outpost in Ashenvale which makes me a sad panda

[Adam-Savage]

I found another picture. I'm pretty sure this was leaked.

[Nevar]

Oh my goodness! I've never see that!? WOW...thats crazy...cause there is DEF not snow in Lakeshire now O_O

Edit - Holy mother of Deathwing - THATS AN AMAZING LOOKING DRAGON!!

[Saturo]

Hmm... The dragonmovie looks photoshopped to me...

[Dewclaw]

Wow 0_o @ Deathwing.

[Kayb]

one of those pics is the new gates built just outside of camp T, the barrens and mulgore border

another is the updated zoram strand post upgrade in ashenvale,

both of those two at least have been previously leaked (hence why they're on mmo)

[Kastarakovski]

...
Holy sweet mother of merciful Titans...
Deathwing looks goddamned AWESOME FTW

Seen the Gates of Mulgore on the WoW Facebook Gallery. Zoram Strand in the second screenshot, lookin' good too X3

As for snow in Lakeshire, not too difficult to imagine, considering Blackrock Mountain does explode and thusly the weather pattern would go utterly haywire as a result. Hey, maybe the Murlocs in the Lake finally bought the farm as a result?! =D (ah HATED them murlocs!)

[Lazuly]

You know what would be REALLY awesome? If Blizzard used phasing tech to create actual seasons ingame.

And about Lakeshire... I hope they've finally finished fixing the bridge, too. Those slackers have left it half finished for five years now. =P Also, the 'snow' there might actually be volcanic ash, since the two can look similar.

[Mania]

Mphm. In-game seasons, like in-game weather, are overrated.

[Karrosh]

I must admit, I like the look of Lakeshire as a wintry wonderland. In all honesty, I think it is much more attractive than the orange-ness of current Redridge.

[Lazuly]

Mphm. In-game seasons, like in-game weather, are overrated.

Maybe, but seasons would still be the sort of thing that seems perfectly suited to the game's phasing ability.

[Mania]

I need a little-old-lady-skepticism-face smiley.

Err .. I mean for my general old-lady-skepticism, not, not in response to Lazuly.

[Kayb]

they really have seemed to ignore weather haven't they. there wasn't any applied for outland or northrend :\ waste.

what was put into the old world is rarely seen active anyway, why bother at all in that case

[Zangor]

actually in storm peaks up at thunderfall its prettymuch always snowing so there is weather in effect

[Teigan]

I notice it. I love it when it's raining in the Wetlands!

[Dewclaw]

I like the sandstorms in tanaris. I just wish they could be more intense.

[Chrizesu]

Deathwing, now that's a sexy dragon.
