World of Warcraft : Wrath of the Lich King

[kaaasen]

Jeg skulle i det hele tatt likt å se endel customization på characterene ja. Både når det kommer til hår, utseende, farge på gear o.l. Det har jo vært etterlyst en stund, og det hadde ikke gjort noe om de kunne introdusert det snart.

 

Dette burde de jo i såfall lansert utenfor en eventuell expansionpack slik at alle kunne benytte seg av det

[Be__bad]

Jeg ønsker at dette skal bli litt som vanilla wow En lang expansion hvor vi ikke ser ut som aliens. ( tier 2.5-3-4-5-6) Der hp er balanced og ressillience er borte (Idiot stat) . der world pvp fantes, og 40 man raids (selv om det sannsynligvis aldri kommer til å skje igjen ) det er mine forhåpninger. Blir jeg skuffet? Ja. Kommer jeg til å gi meg? Mulig. Mulig.

[Kimelimm]

Kanskje ny class, Sorcherer eller noe, og Goblins og Murlocs som races xD

spennende!

[Pingo68]

Står en del mere i dette innlegget om den videre utviklingen av WOW. Uoffisielt selvfølgelig, men dog ....

 

Uansett, på tide at noe skjer egentlig. Personlig håper jeg at neste expansion blir litt mere utfordrende enn hva TBC er.

hvor i Azeroth ligger på en måte Northrend a? hvilken portal må man ta?

Helt nord, mellom Eastern Kingdom og Kalimdor

[SnusHanen]

ah det er ikke de øyene mellom der?

[Roy E]

Håper bare det blir noe nytt denne gangen, ikke bare mere av det samme som TBC var, om man ser bort ifra Arenas.

Håper også på en grafikkoppgradering med skarpere teksturer osv., men det er vel å tro på julenissen

Tja blizzard lovet jo 30% mere polygoner i bc. Tomt løfte. De forsto vel at det betydde færre gamere og mindre penger? Sigh..

[DrThomas]

Litt trist, men spill som dette blir gjerne offer for sin egen populæritet... Det er så mange som spiller det, at Blizzard ikke kan gjøre noen drastiske endringer uten at det vil føre til mange misfornøyde kunder.

 

Vi får bare håpe konkurrenter kommer hyppigere og gir spillet litt konkurranse i tiden fremover, slik at vi får se mer fremgang og et bedre produkt

 

Jeg personlig setter min lit til Conan, håper det kan riste opp litt i et MMORPG marked som har blitt litt ensporet nå. (LotRO = WOW2 anyone?)

[Skurupu]

Hvis de øker lvl-cappen på nytt så tidlig blir jeg potte sur. Da må alt av gear byttes ut igjen, og alt jeg har gjort på min character på lvl 70 vil være forgjeves. Kanskje hvis de venter til februar 2009. 2 år med vanilla var nok til at jeg så meg ferdig og trengte flere lvls. februar 2008 er ALT for tidlig.

Amen

[Cappo]

Hvis du har fulgt med litt, så har du kanskje fått med deg at Blizzard har sagt at de skal lansere en ny expansion hvert år.

 

Og hvorfor blir du potte sur om de øker level cappen igjen allerede?

Er det ikke bedre at de gjør det tidlig før du har brukt enda mer tid på å prøve å få bedre gear?

 

Folk sa akkurat det samme før forrige expansion.

 

Men jeg stiller meg derimot litt tvilende til dette med Arthas. Det står at du kan slåss med han, men jeg tviler på at du faktisk klarer å drepe han. Han stikker vel heller av eller noe sånt siden Blizzard tidligere har nevnt at de ikke vil la deg drepe Arthas.

What are the features of the new expansion?

 

Wrath of the Lich King builds on the rich foundation established in World of Warcraft and The Burning Crusade, providing a wealth of new content for players to explore. The harsh, forbidding continent of Northrend, home of the Lich King and his undead minions, will be uncovered on the world map, and to contend with the new challenges found there, players will be able to advance to level 80, acquiring potent new abilities and talents along the way.

 

In addition, Wrath of the Lich King will introduce the death knight hero class to World of Warcraft. Once certain criteria are met, players will be able to create a new death knight character, which will start at a high level. Furthermore, player-vs.-player battles will reach a new level of intensity with the addition of siege weapons and destructible buildings, not to mention a new battleground. There will also be an abundance of new quests, dungeons, monsters, items, and recipes -- as well as a new profession, inscription -- for players to try out. The expansion will include some additional character-customization options for players as well. We'll be going into more detail on all of these features in the months ahead.

 

How will the death knight class fit into the game?

 

The death knight combines martial prowess with dark, necromantic energies. Players might be familiar with the death knight from previously released Warcraft games -- most recently, in the campaigns for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and the Frozen Throne expansion, the former paladin Arthas became a death knight and wreaked havoc across Azeroth and Northrend before fusing with the spirit of Ner'zhul to become the Lich King. The death knight is the first hero class in World of Warcraft; once certain criteria are met, players will unlock the ability to create a new death knight character, which will begin play at a high experience level. We're currently exploring various options for how the death knight will play and the types of abilities at its disposal, and we'll be revealing more information about this new class as we get further along in development.

 

Will the death knight have any abilities from previously released Warcraft games?

 

The way we portrayed death knights in past Warcraft games is certainly a source of inspiration, but we are still determining how best to capture that feel within the mechanics of World of Warcraft, and haven't made any final determinations on specific abilities.

 

What role will the death knight play in groups and raids?

 

In general terms, the death knight can be considered a type of class that combines damage dealing and tanking, but naturally it will have an array of unique abilities as well.

 

What races will be allowed to play death knights?

 

We haven't yet made a final determination about which races can be death knights. However, the class will be available to both the Alliance and the Horde.

 

Will there be additional hero classes in the future?

 

Yes, we do intend to add more hero classes in the future, but right now our focus is on the current expansion.

 

What is the story background of the expansion?

 

Players last visited Northrend in the Warcraft III expansion, when Arthas Menethil fused with the spirit of Ner'zhul to become the Lich King, one of the most powerful entities in the Warcraft universe. He now broods atop the Frozen Throne, deep in Icecrown Citadel, clutching the rune blade Frostmourne and marshaling the undead armies of the Scourge. In Wrath of the Lich King, the greatest champions of the Alliance and the Horde will do battle with the Scourge amid Northrend's howling winds and fields of jagged ice, and ultimately face the Lich King himself.

 

Will players actually get to encounter Arthas himself?

 

Players will be skirmishing with the minions of Arthas from the moment they set foot on Northrend. He will be a constant presence as players progress through the expansion content -- which will culminate in a showdown with the dread Lich King himself.

 

Can you discuss some of the new talents and abilities that will be available from level 70 to level 80?

 

As with character advancement up to level 70, players will gain access to an array of potent and exciting new abilities and talents as they make their way from level 70 to level 80. However, it's still too early to get into specifics on these.

 

How long will it take to advance from level 70 to level 80?

 

We were pleased with the pacing from level 60 to level 70 in The Burning Crusade, and we intend to take a similar approach to pacing character advancement in Wrath of the Lich King. However, the specific amount of time that it will take players to reach level 80 will vary widely based on play style.

 

What can you reveal about Northrend?

 

The first area of Northrend we're showcasing is the Howling Fjord, a region of grasslands overlooking massive cliffs at the southeastern edge of the continent. This, along with the Borean Tundra, is the front line of the war against Arthas, and players will come face to face with his minions as soon as they set foot on Northrend. Eventually, as players progress further, they will explore the Grizzly Hills, Dragonblight, and more. We'll be showing off some of these new areas in the months ahead.

 

What's the level requirement to enter Northrend?

 

Players of any level who have purchased the expansion can visit Northrend. However, all of the content is designed for players level 68 and up.

 

How many new dungeons will be in the expansion?

 

The first dungeon players will enter is Utgarde Keep, which is intended for five players around level 70. Utgarde is inhabited by the Vrykul, a Viking-like race bent on proving their strength to the Lich King, who will raise the most worthy of their warriors to serve him beyond the grave. We intend to provide a variety of dungeons comparable to that in The Burning Crusade and will be revealing more details about some of these in the months ahead.

 

Do you plan to continue with the 25-player model for raids?

 

Yes, we've been pleased with the tactics, intensity, and variety of the 25-player raid model, and plan to continue with it.

 

In what ways will players be able to further customize their characters in the expansion?

 

In addition to the numerous new character-customization options that will be available with all of the new weapons and armor added by the expansion, we'll be offering some fun ways to alter both existing and new characters with regard to dances and hairstyles, but we're not ready to go into more detail just yet.

 

What can you reveal about the new profession coming with the expansion?

 

Inscription allows the player to permanently enhance their spells and abilities and to create mysterious items of power to use, trade, and sell.

 

What can players expect with regard to player-vs.-player combat in the expansion?

 

Players will be able to take control of siege weapons and use them to destroy opposing buildings, adding a new layer of complexity to PvP battles. Naturally, we'll be providing some fun places to put these new tools to good use, and we'll be revealing more information about them in the months ahead, in addition to the new battleground content being added.

 

Can you give a sneak peek at the new recipes and items in the expansion?

 

There will be hundreds of new recipes and thousands of new items available, but we're not ready to discuss specific examples just yet.

 

Will there be any graphical enhancements?

 

There will be hundreds of new recipes and thousands of new items available, but we're not ready to discuss specific examples just yet.

 

How many zones will be in the expansion?

 

Northrend will be roughly equivalent to Outland in terms of size and scope.

 

Will there be any new cinematic scenes?

 

Yes, our cinematics department is hard at work preparing a new intro movie for the expansion.

 

Release/Availability

 

Do you need to own the expansion to play with friends who have it?

 

There will be many aspects of the expansion that will be available to all players. However, in order to experience certain content, such as Northrend, or be able to play as a death knight, players must purchase the expansion.

 

Will there be an open beta test of the expansion?

 

We have not yet determined whether the expansion will require an open beta test. If we do decide to conduct a beta test, details will be posted on the official World of Warcraft website once we've gotten further along in the development process.

 

When will the expansion be released? How much will it cost?

 

We have not yet announced a release date for the expansion set. However, we expect to announce further details, including the release date and price, on our community website in the months ahead. Please stay tuned to [link] for more information.

 

Will there be a collector's edition?

 

We have not yet made any determination about whether there will be a collector's edition of Wrath of the Lich King. We'll be announcing details such as this closer to release.

 

Will a Mac version be available simultaneously with the PC version?

 

Yes. As with all of our games, Wrath of the Lich King will be compatible with and optimized for both the Windows and Macintosh platforms.

 

What are the system requirements?

 

We'll continue to ensure that the game is playable on a wide range of hardware. However, we have not made a final determination on the system requirements as yet.

 

Will the expansion be released globally at the same time?

 

We recognize that players throughout the world will be eager to experience all of the new content being added with Wrath of the Lich King, and we will make every effort to release the expansion simultaneously worldwide. However, there's always the possibility that unforeseen circumstances could delay the launch in any given region. We'll share the launch timing with players in each region as soon as the plans have been finalized.

 

What is the ESRB rating for the expansion?

 

The expansion has not yet been rated by the ESRB. However, we anticipate that it will receive the same rating that the original World of Warcraft received -- "Teen."

Nå begynner jeg å se for meg en blå Collector's Edition boks oppe på hylla sammen med den brune og grønne.

[Zelda_]

Dette er jo akkurat ka folk fryket. Ny lvl cap og northrend vil være et nytt outlands. Folk håpet jo på at i stedet for en stor ny sone vill blizz oppdatere gamle azeroth. Masse nye små soner osv.

[PSV]

Ny level cap MÅ til. Man MÅ nå level 100 på ett eller annet tidspunkt.

De som vil ha guildhousing, frisør og gplastisk kirurg kan, for min del, spille The Sims.

Ingen av de tingene kan du så vidt meg bekjent gjøre i The Sims, så det er egentlig ganske tåpelig å si.

[nord]

levele 70 - 80 og leke meg med det nye contentet er noe av det jeg har likt best i hele world of warcraft, gleder meg som bare rakkern til å gjøre det igjen!
