Another Alpha Update

[Leviathonlx]

And probably the last alpha update till closed beta as the hunter talents are in here, as it was mentioned after the hunter talents closed beta follows.

I will start out with mob updates and such as always then move on to zones. Since this is a 216 MB patch I would imagine there is quite a bit in here in mobs and the zones being put into there final forms.

= Mob Updates =

Arcane Ancient:

Arcane Titan:

Blood Elf Male Kid:

[Leviathonlx]

Fel Horse, Although this model is riden by the demon knight in the MPQ, it is now listed seperatly:
http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k98/leviathonlxx2/felhorse.jpg

Fel Orc, I would imagine this is Kargath Bladefist now:

http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k98/leviathonlxx2/felorc.jpg

Fel Orc Sword:

Nether Ray:

Armored Wyvern, models texture doesn't load but it shows how they will look on all 4's:

http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k98/leviathonlxx2/ridingwyvern.jpg


Zone changes will be posted once I gain the ability to once again go into the client :p

[Leviathonlx]

Well although I can't actually go into the client at this time to look at the zones here are a few more mobs:

Kael'Thas:

http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k98/leviathonlxx2/screenshot_140.jpg

Talbuk, this is the non riding version but there is a regular mount version and a armored mount version.:

http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k98/leviathonlxx2/screenshot_141.jpg

Armored Mount version:

http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k98/leviathonlxx2/screenshot_142.jpg

Also voices were added for a lot more bosses such as Magtheridon and Kargath Bladefist along with Cavern of Times voiceovers for Medivh, Thrall and the bosses. It seems the Medivh fight is about you helping to keep a portal up.

[zkajan]

that keep portal up sounds like how Blizzard described the caverns of time encounter in the Black Morass (now known as blasted lands and swamp of sorrows)

[Leviathonlx]

Hehe I meant to say its about keeping a shield up as theres voices for shield 25% 50% and 75%. Along with voices where hes telling Gul'Dan to bring his warlocks through. His greeting towards you is him thinking you and your party are champions that were brought to azeroth by the legion to aid him :p

[Mizuti]

Cool, some neat creatures... I wonder what Talbuks will be for (faction? but then there's flying mounts! Hmm...), but they sure look neat! Also, I was wondering how they would make wyverns run on land. Can't wait to see the skinned version in all its glory.

It's nice that they are finally acknowledging that there are children of other races than humans and orcs (even if all all do use the same basic models O_o)

[silkfire]

Arcane Ancient is NOT the Tree of Life tht the Druid talent will transform in, at least I hope not....

[Naolin]

cute BE kids :p

[silkfire]

More maps, everyone!

Outland is now more correct and has a depth to it.

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/6467/outlandmapsa8.jpg

Finished maps for Silvermoon and The Exodar

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/7931/silvermooncitytk5.jpg

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/8651/exodarcityqr0.jpg

Shattrath is big enough to have its own map.

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/4341/shattrathmapye6.jpg

[silkfire]

Netherstorm Arena, the new battleground in Netherstorm, of course.

http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/1416/netherstormarenarw0.jpg

Notice the artwork that is on the retail box :grin:

[Wintrow]

I expect the Tree of Life to look like them treeants you see walking around in Darnassus near the Cenarion Enclave

EDIT:
The image s are not loading here

[Naolin]

Murder row :O I'm so glad I'm horde :p

[silkfire]

The images load for me, Wintrow =)

Murder Row = The Drag (Org) of Silvermoon

[Naolin]

Murder Row = The Drag (Org) of Silvermoon
yeah figured so much :p just sounds cool :)

[infy]

hunter talents ?! where ?!

[Leviathonlx]

Now all we need is the sandbox fixed so we can actually load the client :p

Be nice if Blizzard could put in the actual battleground they are adding to the expansion already as the arenas are not really BG's.

The hunter talents are in the other topic posted.

It seems the teleporter in Shattrath will just be the huge portal in the middle of the city also.

[infy]

Sorry what other thred ? i can't seem t find it ? anyone know ?

[silkfire]

The Exodar map was bit ****ed up, here's a better version:

http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/1636/exodarcityvn2.jpg

[silkfire]

Changed Cosmic map:

http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/1656/cosmicmapyk7.jpg

[Baboon]

Really weird how they show Azeroth as a globe and Outland as a floating 2d-style world. I hope it has gravity (at least for non-druids).

But then again, it's a nice map.

[Naolin]

because outland went explodix by some portal magic thingy.

[rasik]

Is it just me or do the lines of latitude on Azeroth make it look like its bulging inwards as opposed to outwards? When I think of a globe with lines of latitude, I always think of them curving up in the northern hemisphere and down in the southern hemisphere. Yes I am a pedant.

[Mizuti]

There are new skins in the "ent" model...seeing as they have always had the animations for falling, edging sideways, sleeping and sitting I'm willing to wager my hat that they'll add in a dance animation and be done with it.

http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/8320/treantsov7.png

[silkfire]

Terokkar slightly changed, Bleeding Hollow Ruins now correctly spelled ;) and new Auchindoun placeholder.

http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/6671/terokkartruevx4.jpg


Blade's Edge Mountains is crawling with points of interest =PP Notice the Mok'Nathal Village, do you think we'll see the brothers of Rexxar?

http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/1928/bladesedgemntszz3.jpg

[xmuskrat]

Terokkar slightly changed, Bleeding Hollow Ruins now correctly spelled ;) and new Auchindoun placeholder.

What else is new?

[silkfire]

New in what context? More maps?

[xmuskrat]

New in what context? More maps?

Anything.

Anything that's new in this latest patch that wasn't in a previous patch.

[Leviathonlx]

That Auchindoun on the Terokar map is probably the final version rather then a placeholder :p

Those ent skins also have been in the alpha for a while they are for the ents in Eversong and Ghostlands. Druid models are always clearly marked in the MPQ.

Outland is flat since well it was blown up and is a chunk of land in the Nether now and no longer a planet. I like how Northrend is shown on Azeroth in the cosmis map also. They need to put it in the regular map now, it just annoys me not seeing Northrend on that map.

Maybe by tonight we will be able to start getting images of zone changes up. Since this seems like the final push till closed beta with maybe a minor patch this weekend if anything.

[xmuskrat]

I like how Northrend is shown on Azeroth in the cosmis map also.

I've seen the cosmic map, but not one with northrend. Is there a new version?

[Leviathonlx]

Its in the new cosmic map, Silk posted it.

[xmuskrat]

Its in the new cosmic map, Silk posted it.

ahh, didn't notice this was a totally new thread.

[Gealach]

I like how Northrend is shown on Azeroth in the cosmis map also. They need to put it in the regular map now, it just annoys me not seeing Northrend on that map.

On the other hand, Azuremyst/Bloodmyst Isles AREN'T on the cosmic map but ARE on the Azeroth map. That's what's going to bug me.

[silkfire]

Yes, the snowy continent partially hidden by clouds on the Cosmic map is indeed Northrend, I wonder what those other islands are nearby?

Thought they might be the Broken Isles, but it appears those are located south of the maelstrom.

[Mizuti]

D'oh! And I thought I had found the Tree of Restoration form... I guess you're right about them being labeled was "Druid(FormName)".

Oh well, I'm still betting my hat on a modified ent model.

[Gealach]

It would be funny if druid tree form was a potted bonsai tho. =)

[MadVlad]

Whatever it is, it better have horns or ears.

[xmuskrat]

I sure hope beta is soon.

[yavvy]

Whatever it is, it better have horns or ears.
And green leaves for NE, orange / yellow for Tauren.

[silkfire]

You wanted more? Here you are!

Good news, the Cockatrice is running in a completely different way now, not like Chocobos =))

http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/4101/mobsenraqfe6.jpg

[xmuskrat]

Okay. I'm done waiting. Can the game come out now?


When did this latest patch come out? What build is it?

[silkfire]

I was speaking earlier about that it runs differently, here is a video I've made:

http://gabid001.thg.se/BERun.wmv

[Leviathonlx]

The little islands northwest of Lordaeron are the Dragon Isles.

[xmuskrat]

The little islands northwest of Lordaeron are the Dragon Isles.

ahhh... The Dragon Isles (http://www.wowwiki.com/Dragon_Isles)

[silkfire]

Also be sure to check this video out of a Blood Elf riding the epic Talbuk -

http://gabid001.thg.se/EliteTalbukRiding.wmv

[Leviathonlx]

It will be interesting to see what the Talbuk is from, I will make sure to get one though :p

[xmuskrat]

It will be interesting to see what the Talbuk is from, I will make sure to get one though :p

I bet you that it's one of the towns labeled faction on the interactive outland map.

[Gealach]

Talbuks look like a grasslands animal to me. My guess is that they are prolly native to Nagrand. Think they might be associated with Halaa, or whatever the capturable town is?

[Leviathonlx]

May be a BG/Arena mount reward also. They seem like a Terokar and Nagrand type of animal.

[xmuskrat]

Talbuks look like a grasslands animal to me. My guess is that they are prolly native to Nagrand. Think they might be associated with Halaa, or whatever the capturable town is?

A list of faction cities we know of in outland:

Aeris
Ancient Draenei Base
Sporeggar
Gronn'bor Shrine
The Stormspire
Area 52
Cenerian Refuge

I'm going with Aeris.

[Leviathonlx]

Theres some nice new zone music changes in this update also. :p , If anyone else is interested in that kind of thing I can zip the zone music up and the charactor voices and put them up for download.

[Gealach]

Edit: Nevermind.

[ruinz]

Theres some nice new zone music changes in this update also. :p , If anyone else is interested in that kind of thing I can zip the zone music up and the charactor voices and put them up for download.

I'm extremely interested, so please do!

[Hepzibuh]

Anyone know if Northrend will be reachable in the expansion?

[xmuskrat]

Anyone know if Northrend will be reachable in the expansion?

Not in this one.

[Lezwyn]

It would be cool if Blizzard would have at least one zone of Northrend accessible, so it's not just ignored. I mean, we can't pretend it doesn't exist anymore when it's shown on the new map :)

[xmuskrat]

Sure it would.

They want to release Northrend as it's on expansion, and it's not super-huge, so I'm sure they are going to save all of that content for it's own expansion.

It'd be cool to have Pandaren.

I bet they are saved for a future expansion, too.

[Leviathonlx]

Northrend is roughly the same size as Outland is now its not too small especially since underneath Northrend lies the ruins of Azjol'Nerub which are quite massive.

Northrend won't be for several expansions probably though, we will likley see a Maelstrom and maybe a Emerald Dream expansion before then.

Shoot, this update broke the sandbox.. How are you guuys getting this stuff now? PM if you want.

EDIT I'd really LOVE if you zipped the ZoneMusic, and post the Nagrand and Bloodmyst maps if they changed.

[Leviathonlx]

Its MPQ digging now.

[silkfire]

Explosive, save all the maps and images i've posted, np =)

This one is for LEviathonX

The Nagrand map...more tomoroww, it's exhusting to render them,,,,

http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/3408/nagrandxcp6.jpg

[Mizuti]

So, like the flying mount gryphons and wyverns, they redid the cockatrice model not to be just a jazzy tallstrider?

My pink flamingo-using hunter is not pleased. :P

[Leviathonlx]

D'oh! And I thought I had found the Tree of Restoration form... I guess you're right about them being labeled was "Druid(FormName)".

Oh well, I'm still betting my hat on a modified ent model.

Technicly the tree of restoration form will probably be a ent model considering it has sleep, jump, sit and other(no dance) animations but it will probably be a bit more modified model.

I will get music and sound files up tomorrow as even when zipped the zip files were over 150 MB's so I will need to split them up more.


Blizz made models show correctly on the elkk model finally. Heres a image that gives a good idea of the size difference between a Draenei and their mount. :p Hopefully the massive clipping issues are fixed.

[WatcherZero]

I love how the road splits as you enter from the dark portal leading to a horde and alliance base.

I can just imagine a load of NPC's in passport control uniforms shouting:
"Humans, Dwarves, Night Elfs, Gnomes to the queue for Honor Hold on the left, Orcs, Trolls, Tauren and Forsaken to the queue on the right for Thrallmar. Please have your passports and Visas ready for inspection"

[Naolin]

that road will be a slaughterhouse on pvp servers <3 good thing I'm a rogue.

[zkajan]

I remember reading in PC Gamer that all of outland was PVP enabled even on PVE servers. Did this stick?
no, but they have a ton of quests with pvp objectifes (like the silithus sand thing, or the towers in epl) that will flag you if you do them.

[yavvy]

I remember reading in PC Gamer that all of outland was PVP enabled even on PVE servers. Did this stick?
No, but there will be (many) PvP quests.

[Laserbream]

Cool, I assume that areas like "The Warp Piston", "The Vector Coil" and "The Cryo Core" are bits of the Draenei ship's engine, now presumably corrupting the local wildlife.

That Cryo Core place had better be frozen and snowy!

[xmuskrat]

No, but there will be (many) PvP quests.

PvP quests? Like kill four random Alliance?

Nope its just all red ground and corrupted land :p

[zkajan]

PvP quests? Like kill four random Alliance?
no, like collecting silithist dust in Silithus or capturing a tower in EPL or killing the Barov at Chillwind Point (if you are Horde) or the one at Bulwark (if you are Aliance)

[Leviathonlx]

In Hellfire Penninsula the PvP thing seems similar to EPL as there are camps spread around with mini flightpaths at them.

Nagrand as everyone knows is where you capture Halaa

And really thats all we know for now.

[Seeo]

Man my work internet is really really slow, and this site is really slow too it would take me over an hour to get through all 9 pages...

Could anyone, out of the goodness of their heart, post anything new about hunters, such as spells and talents? New type of pets? Any new cool lookin' bows... anything at all?

I would very much appreciate it!

[silkfire]

Interesting - first left, Allaince base, then Alliance base on the right, so they need to follow an X to get to their bases, expect a lot of casualties an PvP fun! Bye-bye, PVE servers!

Hehe! MPQ digging is prosperous, look what I found =)

Summons and dismisses a rideable Cobalt Riding Talbuk. This is a very fast mount.

And I can't believe my eyes, joke or something?

Summons and dismisses a crappy rideable wyvern mount. This is an unbearingly slow mount.

I've seen this one earlier somewhere:

Summons and dismisses a rideable phoenix named Peep. This is a very fast mount.

Other:

Summons and dismisses a rideable gryphon/wyvern mount. This is a very fast mount. This mount can only be summoned in Outland.

Summons and dismisses a rideable windrider mount. This mount can only be summoned in Outland.

And the turtle, by the way, has anyone seen it in-game?

Summons and dismisses a rideable turtle. It may be slow, but it gets you off your feet!

Summons and dismisses a rideable Nether Drake. This is a very fast mount. You wish!

http://www.worldofwar.net/gallery/data/500/turtle_copy.jpg

[zkajan]

the turtle will come from the collectible card game thing. basicaly you go to a trading card game and shell out $2 for a packet of cards to play it, and there is some (very low) chance that your packet has a turtle card with a lottery ticket like scratch thing with a code under it (like murky) and when you enter the code in game you get a turtle mount. go to the card game webpage to see it. they also have a special tabard you can get like this, and a noncombat pet too.

We really should try to keep different topics on different threads. So people can find it.

[GreenArmadillo]

Just wait until the gnomes get them!

I was thinking the same thing. Draenei are taller than other races to begin with, and then that mount dwarfs the Draenei. Will it get even bigger to scale to gnomes? :shocked:

[Seeo]

But this isn't a different topic. I thought this was about the testing of BC? Class skills would fall in that, no?

[xmuskrat]

But this isn't a different topic. I thought this was about the testing of BC? Class skills would fall in that, no?

Uh, you want to discuss all of BC alpha in a single thread? eek. How quick until you can't find anything?

[GreenArmadillo]

Ugh, WoW Exposed just got pwned by Vivendi's legal division for posting, well, essentially the kind of stuff that we've got in this thread. Such a pathetic waste - I'd imagine they're probably going to lift the NDA once the beta hits (too many people for even their lawyers to go after) anyway. Hope no one here gets in trouble.....

Yes, I was sad when I saw that too. Such a good source, wiped clean.

I hope they lift the NDA...if I have it right, that makes it okay to share the new models, quests and other information floating around?

[Leviathonlx]

Its too hard for Blizzard to yell at a forum usually about things, That other site was bragging about breaking the NDA also, something we are not doing.

Oo nice. Does that mean they implementing a working LFG system with a graphic UI or something?

Thx for posting this stuff I need my BC fix and blizzard aint supplying. Keep it up Silkfire.

[MJPana]

hey silk, any news about how much the flying mounts cost?

[Leviathonlx]

Theres nothing on mount costs yet. The only things we can access are screenshots of zones(not at this time though), images, and mobs and there textures.

darn :(

oh well, guess we'll have to wait and see

[Sikhander]

Thanks Silkfire, I saw a picture of the lawbringer shoulders and they were red and black... just wanted to see if anyone else knew.

[Leviathonlx]

I looked through the files and there were no modifications to the sets.

[Gealach]

The music files were very interesting. I noticed many seemed a lot shorter than music currently in game. Thanks again Silk and Levi. =)

Also, a rumor has been making the rounds that druid travel form is being changed, perhaps to a stag. Is this true?

[DarthMuffin]

Wow thanks for the music Leviathonlx!!

The Silvermoon music is awesome. Judging from the screenshots we've seen of the zone, I think it fits perfectly. Also a great contrast to the Night Elven twilight music.

I love Bliz composers :grin: I can't help but to notice that there are some new ones though. Some of those tracks weren't made by the "original four".

@ Gealach: Is this new? I had heard such a thing, but it was back when the false druid talents were "leaked". So I thought it was also false.

[Leviathonlx]

Theres no way for us to confirm that till the closed beta.

And also some of the songs seem short but theres also like 5-8 songs for each zone.

Hmm..the only time I've heard of it was back when the first round of fake talents made their rounds. There's nothing new in the DruidForm line, although there's a possibility it's a generic enemy with a skin (like travel form, probably unlikely) or still has to be implemented. (You see, in the files, most of the druid forms are labeled like DruidCat, DruidOwlbear, DruidBear, etc)

[Naolin]

Music is amazing for sure. I like it more then the WoW music :)

[rasik]

Hmm from the music I've heard in the first 2 of the files Levianthonx posted, I much prefer the Blood Elf music to the Draenei music. That Silvermoon theme makes me think 'Yeah! I'm a Blood Elf and we're magical and cool!' while the Exodar theme makes me think 'Right, I'm a Draenei.... I guess we have some crystals and stuff. And a flute playing over a drone...' Ghostlands music (the one with the plucked strings) seems to be superior to the Bloodmyst Isle music too.

[Seluhir]

its all perspective... I'm sure there are people who prefer the other...

I haven't listened just yet so I can't judge... but... ;)

[Seluhir]

okay.... having just listened to them....

I must say from a pure enjoyment standpoint, I think the Exodar theme is more appealing to me... but from a standpoint of suitability, they're both very suitable. :)

[DarthMuffin]

Exodar music is like a mix between Thunder Bluff and Darnassus. In a way, it is very fitting since the Draenei are, in appearance and personality, very close to both races. Just like the NEs, they seem to live in eternal twilight (and the music does reflect that).

Silvermoon definitely gets my vote though. Some parts of it are darker, reflecting the BEs state of mind right now. It does remain a very unique theme (with the small chorus in the back) that makes you feel like you're not just in any kind of dull fortress city. Like I said before, it's very different from traditional NE music (think about the Teldrassil/Ashenvale music, which does represent the blueish and dark world the NEs live in).

[silkfire]

what did u think about the Outland music, Darth?

[Hepzibuh]

Hey..anyone know if it's possible to get exalted with the Draenei through runecloth at level 60?

[Leviathonlx]

I'd imagine it wouldn't be too much different then it is now.

I'd imagine it wouldn't be too much different then it is now.
Blizzard has said that they are trying to make everybody start on equal terms, that people are'nt supposed to be able to make a jump-start on saving materials or quests that have'nt been turned in. I wonder if they might make Silvermoon and Exodar require a different kind of material then cloths in order to build up reputation.

[Leviathonlx]

That equal footing thing was in regard to Blizzard not letting people horde quest to level up not about hording runecloth to get rep to get a mount.
