Previews, Interviews & Articles
WotLK - Info Summary
General Info- Players will unlock their flying mounts at level 77
- You can use your Outland flying mount, and Blizzard will have new flying mounts for players to get as well
- The Northrend in Wrath of the Lich King is a bit larger than Outland, the area explored by players in Burning Crusade.
- That means not only are there larger numbers of zones to explore, many of them are so large that they've been divided into "sub-zones," much like Terrokar Forest and the Auchindon Waste in Outland.
- The new "vehicle" system will enable characters to "drive" an object around. One example Blizzard gave them: Players will fly over a human settlement being overrun with the Scourge, lowering a ladder down to pull up and rescue civilians. In one dungeon instance, players will be able to "liberate" some blue dragons that they can mount up and fly around, fighting their way up a massive tower.
Old Azeroth contents used in Northrend- There are quests and content relating to the Worgen and the sons of Arugal (from Silverpine Forest) and everyone's favorite religious fanatics, the Scarlet Crusade (called the Scarlet Onslaught in Northrend).
- They're also advancing the Forsaken storyline, adding in uniquely Forsaken building architecture and giving the player more chances to help in their Wile E. Coyote-like quest to kill every living thing on Azeroth.
Dungeons & Raids - All 5-man dungeons will have a Heroic mode
- Heroic dungeons will have a separate loot table than non-Heroics
- A new token system will be used, similar to the Badge of Justice one used now
- The 5-man instances are designed to not take more than an hour
The 5-man news really was expected, but the raid info is much more exciting:- All raid dungeons will have both 10-man and 25-man versions
- The 10 and 25-man progressions will not depend on each other (Independent Raid Progression)
- There will be no attunements or keys necessary for any raid
- The 25-man loot will be a tier higher than the 10-man loot
- The 10 and 25-man versions of the same raid will be on different timers so that each can be attempted on the same day by the same people
New "two-tier" raiding system - All raid dungeons in Wrath of the Lich King will have both 25-person and 10-person versions
- 25-person raiding progression is not dependent on 10-person raiding; players will not have to obtain keys or attunements in 10-person raids to participate in 25-person raids
- 10- and 25-person raids both have their own, independent progression paths
- Players will receive more, higher level rewards for completing the 25-person raid dungeons over the 10-person version
Coldara - Coldara (a sub-zone of Borean Tundra) is a three-wing dungeon for 70s, 80s and a short Onyxia-style raid against Malygos himself.
- Coldara is structurally a broken tower with rotating rings surrounding a column of blue energy.
- During some of the boss encounters, players will actually free drakes to fly around the ring. Using the game's new vehicle technology, players will be able to engage in free flight around the dungeon and use some of the drake's abilities to take on some of the dungeon's challenges.
Death Knights
A quick description of some of the spells:
• Death Coil -- Depletes all Runic Power, dealing 600 damage to a non-Undead target, or healing 900 damage on a friendly target.
• Death Grip -- This is the Death Knight's "taunt" ability. It also pulls the target to the Death Knight, forcing them to attack the Death Knight for a short amount of time. Yes, I said pulls the target; Blizzard is going to allow players to move mobs in the expansion both with Death Grip, and other knockback/pull abilities. This works on players too, so PvP balance ahoy!
• Chains of Ice -- Roots the target in place. When the spell fades, it places a snare on the target that reduces in potency as the duration runs out.
• Raise Dead -- Raises a nearby corpse to fight for the Death Knight for 2 minutes. If used on a player corpse, the player has the option to play as the ghoul for the duration -- gaining access to the ghoul's abilities.
- The ghoul has the ability to do the following:
-- Leap to the target
-- Rend for decent damage-over-time
-- Stun target, and of course more
• Death Pact -- Sacrifices the raised ghouls to heal the Death Knight.
• Death and Decay -- Targeted, AoE Damage-over-time which pulses similar to the Paladin spell Consecration. Anyone affected by Death and Decay has a chance to be feared.
• Frost Presence -- Increases Armor by 45% and allows the Death Knight to generate 25% more threat. Only one presence can be active at any time.
• Unholy Presence -- Increases Attack Speed and Movement speed by 15%. Only one... [Read More]

3 New Wrath Of The Lich King Videos |
|
Apr 21, 2008 - 6:29 PM - by Mithan

Cursed has a few in-game videos from BlizzCon up. The quality is craptacular, but you can see a little bit I guess.
Video 1
Video 2
Video 3
The polygon count for objects seems to be higher. For instance, look at the cliffs at the back of Video 1, it is more complex than existing mountain type architecture in WoW, which is usually pretty plain and rounded. Video 3 seems to have a lot more detail in the city too.
