Cataclysm Beta - Build 12942 + Old Weather flying

Unread post by Adam-Savage »

Mmo Reports a new Beta build.
Reins of the Spectral Steed, Reins of the Spectral Wolf should give you a good reason to go to Tol Barad. Scepter of Az'Aqir will also be a good reason to level Archaeology. (More on those later)
Old weather flying will cost 250g
We've added a new flying skill called Flight Master's License. When World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is released, players who purchase the expansion will see this skill available from flight trainers for 250 gold once they reach level 60. This new skill is required for flying around all Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms zones, including the new level 80-85 zones.

MMO has a disclaimer above all of the spell changes:
Spell Diffs
These changes are from the comparison of game files, they are not official changes and nothing is final until it's confirmed by Blizzard AND on live servers. It could be a simple test change, or me being stupid and not doing things properly.
So those might not be real. However, the mounts, Azerothian flight, and the tier 11 bonuses are.

I wonder how much of gold sink Azerothian flight will be ? I was sure they said it wouldn't be something that would cost anything.

I've seen 5000g, Adam.

I noticed that too Veph, I wonder if it's because of the way they're fiddling with stam/damage? Perhaps we wouldn't be able to survive a tough tame the way they're changing things (I'm thinking of that thread about KK being impossible to tame on Beta...).

That thread was about SOLO taming being impossible due to the dropping of fear immunity, but I'm sure there are other solutions....

Regardless, I hope this change is a real one. We've suffered enough!

Well yeah, but it was the first thing that popped into my mind - that things are being changed so they just plainly might have to modify. *shrug*

So they want us to pay 5000g for 310% flying and then another 5000g just to fly in old world ? No thanks.

So we definelty know that there is now an item to summon a mount thats related to Archeology. But instead of the theorized bone raptor its going to be an insect?

Oh wait, I might have misunderstood. 310% is 5000g, flying in Azeroth is free.

It's 250 gold for now. There was a update on wow.com and from Fluxflashor on twitter.

Spectral Steed... Steed is generally used to refer to horses. So another see-through horse?
Spectral Wolf... SOLD. Do want.
I also wonder if these are available to both alliance and horde or to the factions that these mounts normally go to? Hope for the former. >.>

Should I be getting my hopes up for a Silithid Battle Tank Mount that's usable outside of AQ right about now? One that isn't super rare and unattainable?
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEE

Wait...I am trained to fly in another world and in blizzard wind conditions....why the hell do I have to pay to learn how to fly in the regular world? Thats like knowing how to ride a bike, and a motorcycle then paying for tricycle lessons.

It's not actually named Old Wather Flying (that was a joke Blizzard made and it sorta caught on apparently XD) but rather "Flight Master's License". So it's kinda more like paying your licence registration for your Motorbike than actually learning how to ride it again.

* Cobra Shot is now a Survival skill (Old - Beast Mastery) and now deals weapon damage plus [ 8.6% of RAP + 276.81 ] in the form of Nature damage.

Any one else notice this? Considering that it was originally meant to be the "signatureish" shot for BM and now it seems to be heading in an SV direction :|
