One thing that many World of Warcraft players are anticipating come Cataclysm is the new raid and lockout information. After all, it is always best to play with other players most especially your guild members to fully maximize the playing ground and field. No wonder that many players are in constant search of any sudden changes with regards to raid in lieu with Cataclysm.

Just recently a Blizzard press conference wrapped up pinpointing the new changes with regards to their next update. One thing they stressed out was the raid and new lockout mechanics. For instance is the idea of downshifting. In here a 25 man raid can be divided or split into 10 man groups. Upshifting is definitely not allowed. The ten man division is easier to manage and can easily be created depending on the divisions. This is one thing that Blizzard would want their players to experience.

Raid lockouts will be forgiving in the next update. The idea here is that as long as you killed the same bosses in that raid, you can still be able to join another raid in progress regardless if you are in another raid at the same instance during the lockout. You might be unable to kill the same boss twice but it doesn’t mean you are cut off from the said raid. Thus you can breeze yourself in Cataclysm doing it.

Aside from the new system to be implemented on the next WoW patch, there would be two new raids in the making. These are Grim Batol – The Bastion of Twilight and Skywall.

Grim batol is an entry level raid area with five different encounters and a sixth boss that can be optional depending on the level of difficulty. The final boss is named Cho’gall. Defeating him will trigger a floor collapsing lore that will reveal one horrifying secret according to Afrasiabi the designer. Skywall on the other hand will be a five man instance where you can use your flying mount to travel but can’t be used on combat of any kind. This raid area will include other players that are against the Windlord by the name of Al’Akir.

I am pretty sure these information will keep you fed for a while trying to illustrate how awesome the new battlegrounds will be and the system as a whole. Bear in mind that you can opt to pick now your 10 man ally to aid you with this one. Nonetheless, there is no denying that World of Warcraft Cataclysm is one big and changing update to begin with.

It was just recently that Blizzard held a press conference in line with their third expansion which is the Cataclysm. A mixed of emotions was definitely seen and read across World of Warcraft forums after the said conference. Some were disappointed while some were happy. Bottom line is everyone already wants to get their hands on Cataclysm.

If you have been looking on information as to what the press conference holds, you come to the right place. In here we will be discussing a synthesis on what was being discussed and a few ideas that were shelled out. At least these will keep us for quite some time until the real expansion arrives.

One thought that somehow made an impact from the press conference is the removal of the Path of the Titans. Since this place is suppose to be connected with Archaeology, the new profession’s focus will be on the showing of the lore of the game and also uncovering the history of Azeroth. Players can be able to find two types of artifacts. One would be the lore artifacts that can be able to teach you about the world. The second one is the cosmetic or vanity rewards. As stated archaeology is one optional profession.

Expect that World of Warcraft will have an Egyptian inspired theme. This is according to Alex Afrasiabi who is the lead designer of the world. Uldum for one will contain the Egyptian theme carrying some of the themes of Ahn’Qiraj. A cat like race will be introduced in this zone and will be referred to as the Tol’vir. Deepholm would be an Elemental Plane of Earth where Deathwing is resting. He will not be breaking into Azeroth as he will be heading to Maelstroom.

In addition, the level up experience has been overhauled. The user interface when you level up will be displayed if you will have a new talent point, when you unlock new abilities and new features like riding, glyphs use and battlegrounds. A park in Stormwind will be destroyed by Deathwing showing his impact on the world itself. Much more heirlooms will work for new goblin and even worgen characters. However, they will not past level 80. Garrosh would now be the acting warchief of Orgimmar and will move his throne room in front of it. The valley of wisdom will now become the Tauren District.

These are some of the things you can duly expect come Cataclysm. In fact there are still more under development and just waiting to be uncovered when the expansion would be integrated in the game. I know some may have been disappointed but at least Blizzard is doing their best to give us the best World of Warcraft expansion ever.

Since BlizzCon’s event way back in 2009 where they had introduced a new expansion of the Cataclysm, many had started to anticipate for this last possible update. Blizzard had slowly drop some tidbits of information as to what a player can surely get when the patch comes in. One of data they had shared was their new Guild Advancement System.

World of Warcraft guilds can now level up like the usual leveling characters. There will be 20 levels for guild progression. The guild’s experience will be gained based from the performance of its top 20 players. These players are mostly the active ones with higher level caps. Such guild experience will be gained based on raid bosses killing, PvP arena victories, PvP battlegrounds victories, profession levels and skills. Much more the Guild XP can even be converted into a currency that in return you can use to buy some guild items. This can then be shared to other members like raid materials and the like.

Though the rules of gaining Guild XP has not been laid out, but still the development is taking place thus there could be more rooms for changes. What we currently have right now is that when you participate on a boss kill and in some battlegrounds activities it can count as a guild experience. But do take note that it must consist of 75% of the party is from the same guild. Much more individual’s advancement like reputation and profession will count from a number of players and not from the guild itself. This kind of specification will cater smaller guilds to compete with the larger ones if they have sufficient number of active members.

Guilds will be awarded one guild talent point as it progresses from one level to the other. This can then be used as a guild wide talent for its members. However, as of the moment there is not much information in line with this one. Nonetheless, with this new system it can provide convenience to its guild members rather than with an individual player. Possible examples include mass resurrection after a wipe, reduced cost on possible repairs and raid wide buffs.

There would also be guild achievements that will be similar to the player’s achievement but will be granted to the whole guild members. Such will be awarded right after clearing a raid instance, having a member with the highest profession level cap and much more.

These are just some of the items guild leaders and members will surely anticipate when Cataclysm is here. Nonetheless, this time the expansion will give due importance to the guild itself and not only on individual achievement and the like. Thus, better inform your fellow guild players about this wonderful information so everyone can contribute to the guild’s betterment.

With the Word of Warcraft Cataclysm patch slowly dawning towards its player base, Blizzard had slowly inculcated ideas as to the possible changes inside it. Much more, you can expect a whole new area that will totally revamp the endgame raiding. Top WoW players and so will you will definitely go to this path which is referred to as the Path Of The Titans.

Many are in fact excited with regards to the Cataclysm update. With tiny bits of information being shelled out unexpectedly, the anticipation is building up as to what things to expect. There are already information being leaked like the new maximum level cap, new profession, new classes and more. And one thing you can definitely anticipate is the Path of the Titans. Perhaps you would be asking what would be the role of this area. What is this path? How it can revamp the World of Warcraft? What have Blizzard indicated so far?

Path Of The Titans

When WoW Cataclysm will sink in there will be a new secondary profession in the World of Azeroth. This in turn allows all players to uncover and find secrets which have been discovered after the event that destroyed much the world. As soon as players will find these and their glyphs creation, they will be led to the start of the questline at the max level now 85. In here they can be able to customize their history, style and more. These questlines are the Path of the Titans.

The quest line or titan path leads to numerous numbers of quests for players. These in turn can unlock rare items, rewards, skill and talent change. This allows top level customization of a player making it more specific and personalized. Thus, any player can develop that sense of individuality and more expressionism involved. Another exciting area with the Path of the Titans is its lore that is linked with different hero. These heroes are Aman’ Thul: the High Father, Golganneth: The Thunderer, Eonar: The Lifebinder, Aggramar: The Avenger, Khaz’Goroth: The Shaper and Norgannon: The Dreamweaver. Just imagine the different possibilities you can take and surely make with the Path of the Titans alone.

With all these and even more left undiscovered, it would be no wonder that Cataclysm is something to watch out for. Thus, don’t be left behind better look for more Cataclysm information in the Web. And when the update has come make sure to get a grasp of it immediately and don’t forget to walk to the Path of the Titans.

One great disadvantage come WoW Cataclysm update is when you as a player will be unprepared. Thus, it is but a must to be able prepare yourself, your character as well as your bag to pack it up with necessary items and the like. As many have heard, the next update would truly be challenging. And one thing that will keep the players in place is simply having their survival kit.

A new area will be introduced called the Path of the Titans. New bosses will also emerge alongside with more dangerous terrains and landscapes in the World of Azeroth. Thus, without a flask or potion under your sleeves you will simply end up dying. Monsters by this time will be tougher and more grueling raids to accomplish. Thus, in order to aid you come Cataclysm, here are some top consumables that must be constantly collected.

1. Flasks. Great raiders are always storing up flasks for tough progression fights. Much more having these most especially with the rest of your guildmates can definitely set you and the others to the edge. Most especially if you are tackling with new possible bosses in Uldum, Deephlom and Twilight Highlands. However the thing here is to collect only stockpile flasks. This means that you need to save on Flask of Stoneblood for tahnks and Flask of Distilled Wisdom for casters. It would not be wise to invest on melee and healer tasks since the buff it will give out will become obsolete come expansion.

2. Food. Cataclysm is the perfect time to brush those fishing skills up as you would need fish based foods for stat buffs. Thus, to aid you with this it is highly recommended you store Blackened Dragonfin for their +40 agility and +40 stamina buff. In addition you can also get Dragonfin Filet for it gives +40 strength and +40 stamina as well. Finally do not forget Cuttlesteak for its +40 spirit and +40 stamina.

3. Potions. In spite of your best preparation, everything can still be unpredictable. Thus you need potions that will serve as your last resort when you panic. I believe Cataclysm is filled with unexpected encounters thus you need to store up. If you are a caster or healer, then buy Runic Mana Potions that can give +4,200 to 4,400 of mana. In addition, Paladin tanks may need these potions as well thus better stick to them and hand it when necessary.

These are just a few survival kits and items that you will definitely need when Cataclysm will dawn near. Hence as early as now, collect and fill your inventory with flasks and potions that can give drastic and huge buffs in an instant. Do not even forget to add up your fishing skill as well. Nonetheless, be careful with the new expansion and enjoy this last possible patch.
