Elizabeth Wachowski writes : I'm not sure whether it's just the vagaries of beta, the (now-fixed) disabling of new worgen character creation or if the Horde is just more popular, but we've received about ten goblin screenshots for every worgen one from Cataclysm.
DualShockers writes: "Expansions to World of Warcraft typically bring about some sort of graphical improvements. The Burning Crusade brought some fire and sky texture effects, Wrath of the Lich King brought about fog and more particle effects, as well as the whole idea of phasing. Now we come to Cataclysm, and the entirety of the original two Azerothian continents is being overhauled on a geographical, as well as a purely visual level – there is more going on than ever before, new particle effects and phasing everywhere, higher resolution textures in many zones and cities and new water effects with real-time reflections."
Fresh off the heels of Operation: Gnomeregan, Blizzard has published a web reveal of New Tinkertown. High Tinker Mekkatorque and the gnomish forces have seized control of an area on the surface just outside of Gnomeregan and have started efforts in retaking their city.
Welcome to the third part of our preview series for the latest expansion for World of Warcraft.
In this series, we will be previewing the Worgen and their starting area, Gilneas.
Please note that if you wish to remain spoiler free, then I suggest not reading this.
What amaze me most in WOW are the huge draw distance, and the spectacular views from above the flying mounts and flight paths. I hope they add more variety to the quests too; I was never interested in the highest DPS and obtaining the best gear anyhow.
