World of Warcraft: Rage of the Firelands Patch 4.2 Trailer

Blizzard has released a trailer to tease players about the upcoming v4.2 patch for World of Warcraft. Called "Rage of the Firelands", the trailer is a cinematic look at the story behind it all.
Across the breadth of Azeroth, the Horde and the Alliance have dealt crushing blows to Deathwing's elemental minions and fanatic Twilight's Hammer cultists. Through it all, the Earthen Ring has never wavered from its tireless charge, holding Azeroth itself together amid the tidal fury and errant magical energies that churn at the Maelstrom. Yet as the elements continue their chaotic upheaval, it seems that the noble shamanic order might finally be on the verge of breaking beneath the great weight that rests on its shoulders. Even Thrall, for all of his wisdom and skill, has grown aggravated by his failure to effectively communicate with Azeroth's elements. Recently, his calls were acknowledged, but the malevolent entity that responded has only intensified Thrall's fears and doubts.

Glad I left as it seems they are only adding more and more raid content and ignoring the rest of us.
Yeah me to....WoW is digging it's own grave....

WoW is all about the raid game. Complaining that there's nothing to do at 85 when you don't raid (despite the fact that I think that's false) is like saying Dragon Age was too short despite the fact that you stopped playing halfway through.
True . Most people that still play WoW only do one raid after another . You can quest of a high population server and you will rarely see another person from level 20-70 . You'll also be lucky to see any world pvp outside of city raids . WoWs basically a game aimed at the extremly casual novice gamer now for the most part . If your someone that want even a small challenge out of a game i cant see what you'd get out of this game thats a shadow of its former self . The community was great in the first few years but now it feels like your back in the school playground . I always keep hoping they might add either adult , vanilla or advanced difficulty servers but it'll never happen . Blizzard given all the money its made seams to plow very little of it back in development for both WoW and furture games . Warcraft was a good core game run by a very bad ,lazy and greedy company . That will be thier eventual undoing . Still in the long run WoW success has been good for mmos in general and theres lots of pretenders to the crown coming along at a time when WoWs gameplay is at its weakest .
The time that I was in WoW, only thing you see is level 85 chars hanging round auction houses, or just sitting....
The are so bored......

imo i c f2p in the near future with cash shops ...but as long as people keep buy their junk...they will keep selling it
I was not aware they've ever added to any other part of the game. If you're not a raider or Arena player one is just paying for others to have content developed for them.
This patch COULD be a huge gamebreaker. They're gonna try to balance the classes with nerfs and buffs. I fear this could do more bad than good so.... be very, very, (did I already say: very?) careful blizz!
They have done that since the beginning of the game, why is it so different now?
4.1 added two 5man dungeons, this patch adds a raid and and two lvl 85 quest hubs in firelands... seems they are catering to all types of players as best they can.
Only adding more raid content? Ignoring the rest? You might want to clean your glasses and actually read up on the whole 4.2 patch again. Yes, there's more raid content, but it's far from being raid content only. Heck, for raid content alone it looks a bit on the slim side. They are at least tossing some pretty nice bones to both casuals and non-raiders. Is it enough? That's debatable, but it looks to me like Blizzard is aware and trying in their own slow way.
I'm a big ol' fluffy carewolf. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Haters will hate and never be satisfied. more raid content is a problem? really?
What else you gonna do at 85..grind rep?..FAIL! What..you want more pvp? Got plenty of that also. You want to quest more to level up more? Why? So you can say hey im level 90?
Its all there..what else you want? to have guild parties?..oh i know space flight right!?
The game is about grouping with friends and learning to stategize together. So im all for more raid content. I actually enjoy raiding when its done right.
I do think some RvR stuff would be nice , but than the haters will just complain that its stealing the idea from DAOC or WAR.
So you tell me guys..whats WoW missing? How is it getting worse? Sounds like to me just another reason
To rant..about WoW..
It could have been just saying WoW 4.2 patch is coming next week and said nothing about content. People woulld still be negative and say somthing stupid.
not impressed tbh
the text in red made me lol irl the game is SO not strategic and grouping is a joke but i do like that the 1st word in the title of this new patch is RAGE! soo many have been screwd over by blizz its hard to like em
Like someone else posted, instead of Raging and acting like you know it all....What does the game need?
And if Blizz has screewed so many over why do i see so many players in the game, ehhhh? Bottom line is till people leave in the millions the game is still going to be #1....then maybe Blizz will listen....
Whenever I hear the title of this patch all I can think of is the area of Ohio I'm from...
Until you cancel your subscription, you are only helping to continue the cycle of mediocrity.
The buisness suits that run Blizzard pretty much are looking to squeeze as much cash out of the cow before WoW finally runs its course. For a long time the game has been carrot and stick to the playes...you get yet another epic gear, mount, or formula. But you have to run a dungeon 25 times or win 100 PvP battles to do it. A pure time sink where the actual game has stopped and eye candy has taken over.
Oh man! I'm so stoked that I will be allowed to do those same dailies for 2 months straight for a sub-par reward!
Re-subbing as we speak!
