What happens when Deathwing knocks on your door?

He says "HI!" and then Azeroth blows up. Atleast thats what the next expansion, Cataclysm, says is what happens. With the Barrens finally getting what was comming to it, and the Gobbos and Wolfmen joining the fray, looks to be crazy.

Also the Gobbos, although being an engineering bent race, will not, I REPEAT, will not be riding giant mechanical chickens that fart greenhouse gasses. Instead they'll be driving around in (psuedo-steampunk? Don't really have a description other than hodge-podge or bodged together) go-kart esque cars apparently strapped with extra rocket propulsion, thus ensuring that their mounts are just as much of a bomb and deathtrap to all those around them as they are awesome. As for the worgen, dunno and dont really care right now, cause I don't play Alliance.

Anywho, discussions or snippets of interesting news can go here. Otherwise I guess this topic can just sit and fester in the WoW thread of these hallowed forums.

Deathwing: The most constipated dragon. Ever.

Discuss.

"Hey, we have no content to add anymore, the lich king is dead, there's nothing left to do now! Why not take old zones, and make them less shitty?"

Though I must admit, I am looking forward to actual entierely underwater zones, as well as the changes to underwater combat and such.

Will most certainly try it, maybe they'll finally learn from their mistakes. Not like they had 3 chances to do so-- wait.

We will see, we will see...

Though D3 and GW2 may take the cake.

Personally I am slightly rage'd that the Horde didn't get a cooler race than goblins... but that's probably just because I HATE GOBLINS WITH SO MUCH RAGING PASSION ARGHGLFKGHDJGEHBF.

Other than that, I'm watching it with interest. Updated old zones could be pretty fun. We shall see.

Worgen are pretty twinking terrible lore wise and all that jazzshit, who cares about them. Goblins and orcs? Warhammer online anyone?

I'd actually agree with Oxy that Warhammer is the reason Warcraft is how it is. It stands pretty clear, honestly. Also, I'm not visually impressed with what they did to Deathwing.

Well, the whole goblin/horde thing has been around since WC2 apparently (I never played anything before #3, so I didn't know), with the Bilgewater Cartel working exclusively for the Horde back then, and is where PC gobbos are going to come from too, so its not complete integration, and theres a basis in the lore.

Also, Im just happy to finally see some Maelstrom interaction, cause I wanna poke some nagas in the eye wit me pointy metal object.

Lastly, Warhammer Greenskins > Warcraft Greenskins any day.

Yes yes and yes. I think it's about time to have some naga interraction especially their underwater capital, which sound pretty exciting. Underwater combat should've been there since day one, but I guess they should've hired me for ideas earlier.

Having never played on a real sever, is there a mounted(aerial) combat system?

No. Way to provide melee characters with even more gap closers against casting, and directions to interrupt casts. Lol.

I find the similarity between GW and WoW (or Yay! The dragons!) a bit too much of coincidence...

Especially since they like, both wake up from a deep slumber in the middle of the ocean. Srsl.

Really depends on, which dragon in GW2 you are talking about.
