World of Warcraft: "Under Development" Update

in News & Features Discussion

The good folks over at Blizzard have updated their "Under Development" page, giving us a sneak peek at some of the changes that are expected in the next content patch.

Silithus
Silithus is being fleshed out as a major quest hub with episodic storylines that extend into its depths and past its borders. The redesign of this zone includes high-end outdoor quest area for both the solo players and 5-man groups, focusing on repeatable quests players can complete to gain epic items as a casual alternative to raid dungeons.

Four Dragons
The names of four green dragons - Ysondre, Lethon, Emeriss, and Taerar will come to be feared throughout Azeroth. More information coming soon!

Hallow's End
Planned for Halloween is our first ever Hallow's End event. Players will definitely find a number of great things in store while adventuring through a slightly spookier Azeroth.

Druid Talent Improvement
Druid talent changes to be previewed through our new Talent Calculator in the weeks to come!

High Level Items
New weapons, armor and other items.

    Depending on how much they add with this, I might consider reactivation for a month. The end game definitely needs a change.

    Hmm endgame you say. If you played 15 hours a day, I dont think you would be done instancing at the end of next year, there is simply too much to go through.

    So what are you reffering to when you indicate a lacking endgame in wow?

     

    *edit* Id like to add that Ive been subscribed to, AO, Planetside, Eve Online, SWG, CoH, Lineage 2 and tried quite a few trials, and I have yet to see a game that has more content coming in as planned, than wow.

    It might not be as hardcore as both L2 or Eve Online, but the endgame gameplay is there. But then again. I see you are playing Eve Online.. there isnt realy any end to their gameplay, it just keeps on going. In wow content will eventually come to an end, unless ofcause they are adding more, as they are.. You might be looking for a more open ended mmo than wow.. or I might be judging too much out of too little.

    Having fun in wow so far..

    He probably refers to having to grind MC/BWL/etc for months (See: dkp) to get a couple crappy Epic items that are a very small incremental upgrade over blue ones.
    1-59 Wow is an awesome game. After 60 it turns into a mind-numbing instance grind.

    This is the truth.

    I took my sweet time reaching 60, when I got there, I found nothing I was really able/intrested in doing.  I'm not a raider  and I don't have time for long dungeon grinds.

    PVP is out because it's ONLY for the hardcord and/or cheating guilds.

    Too bad they didn't publish this a few weeks ago.  I've quit now, and for this exact reason.  I just don't see me coming back anytime soon.

    But I do hope it works for everybody else.

      More free content from WoW , Meanwhile some other company  just launched its 10 th expansion - but lets give them credit  the game has been out for 6 years still that 10 times $19 to $29 dollars a pop .  Hold the phone, the sequel  has 3 expansions in the works and that as not been out over a year , stand still this isn't going to hurt a bit, CHA-CHING.  

      Its a shame that some companies squeeze soe hard to get every penny from their player customers while WoW its sending it over for free and listening to the customers needs and wants instead of doing whatever they want.
