WoW: The Burning Crusade Preview

I cant wait for TBC to come out, new lvl cap, new talents, new spells, new dungeons what more could you want =)

I'm really looking forward to the new warlock talent tree, seed of corruption for the win!

Bottom left picture on the second page is linked wrong.

Edit: Fixed

 

I can't wait to get invisibility on my mage

 

As to the alien Draenei having axes instead of laser guns (or other futuristic tech) the only explanations I can come up with are:

That they didn't have any on board (unlikely);
The act of sabotage took out the weapons locker (possible, but not likely);
There are weapons but insufficient for all (rare loot?);
They look sort of brutish (having never played WoW, I'm assuming the snake like creatures are the Draenei), so perhaps the intelligence of the average Draenei is not up to the task of building the more advanced weaponry of it's culture;
and finally, just because they could build/fly a ship, doesn't necessarily mean that they could construct more advanced weapons out of the materials at hand when they crashed (after all, we drive cars but that doesn't mean we can construct handguns out of it's remains if we crashed).

I guess we'll find out when it's released.

 

I suppose that's not a bad effort! Perhaps you should contact Blizzard and let them know your storylines

 

anyone who knows where this came from gets a cookie:



a little hint:

http://www.wow-europe.com/en/burningcrusade/townhall/outlandmap.html

go there, and if you click on an area, you'll see that a little white square appears above one of the letter in OUTLAND...

figure out the sequence, and mr elfy starts to dance his elfy ears off.

(i only noticed this because of my obsession with looking at the source of interesting pages )

 

i figured it out, not a surprise with the indepth hint

anyways i looked at some sites since ive never played, the dranei aren't the ones that look like snakes.

if you look at the very bottom left picture on page one or the one diagonal to the upper right of it, thats them, the blue looking creatures.

i would say that maybe all their weapons need energy, of which they lack
they need to recharge them with their engine, which was destroyed
they dont know how to make weapons
maybe they only know how to make weapons with materials from their world, like trying to make a gun out of rocks and twigs.

 

is that a tellytubby?

 

lol good one

 

Hahaha, awesome find, it's rare to discover an easteregg these days

Hint

 

lol, yeah well thats not the best looking of the race im sure

 

awww. i thought maybee that i was the first person to notice... I wanted to win a prize...

 

cant wait!

 

yeah, well the belt makes him look like he has a beer belly

 

dont like the level slider idea... but all the rest is good. I hope theres good content for those who havent reached 60 yet though!

 

I'd love to get into this game but haven't bought it yet, there's only 24 hours in a day and i need sleep you know

 

are you refering to being able to change the level of enemies in dungeons??

cos yea, that sounds a bit crap, as does saving tbh..

 

Clams, cheese, kansas, underbrush, fog, the planet neptune, piano's, crispy, yugoslovia, canned beef, multipurpose room, taco, furnished, difficulty, resin, laughter, brilliant, cannada, leftover's, beautiful, congress, logic, aggression, morale's, vodka, organs, hollocost, gypsy lovin fried tomatoes!!!!!!!!!

 

I don't understand how the saving system will be useful. If the new instances are to be winged you can do the section in one sitting easily. Existing end game instances such as MC/BWL/Naxx might take advantage of this so your guild can save after killing a boss and come back the next day and continue. It will be useless for low level instances since these are easily do-able in one sitting. I can't see it being used much at all -- at least not by my guild.
