Super Happy Beta Fun Times Go!


It's been a while since I posted some beta stuff. I've been goofing off doing heroics and testing priest beta play. Holy priests couldn't be anymore perfect. I love the way holy plays now. I still feel that Disc lacks the POW of holy. However, Disc will still be a key player in a 25 man raid setting. Leap of Faith is super fun in PVE and PVP. Clueless melee standing in whirlwind? Mage pissing you off? Warlock likes to Lifetap for no reason? LEAP OF FAITH!

LEAP OF FAITH
Before anyone hates on my lack of keybinds just know this. They reset for some dumb reason every time I log off beta. Anyways, on to more fun things. Cataclysm is really shaping up to be the best expansion Blizzard has done. I know a lot of people are still in "shock" due to all the changes that hit live recently but trust me when I say this: Cataclysm will restore your faith in Blizzard! I've never had this much fun questing. I hate questing in Vanilla, TBC and Wrath. Wrath did bring some new questing styles to WoW that other games have been doing for a long time. The much needed ingame cut scene, and Blizzard has really put this to good use in Cata. Uldum is full of cut scenes and there are a bunch in the revamped old world as well. The one thing I've always loved about Blizzard is that they always find a way to hide pop culture references throughout the game. Cataclysm is no exception to this. 


"Hide Your Wives, Hide Your Children! Zhey're Killing everyone up in he'ah"


Then there is this one that I'll share too. This one is a nod to the popular "You awaken in Razor Hill" series. If you've never heard of this you should read it!


Tednug and Scratchfever
I've also been leveling a worgen mage and tonight I did a random instance. When I saw the loading screen was wailing caverns I was tempted to say fuck it and just leave but I stuck it out. We got to the escort part and I tempted to leave again until I saw the most beautiful thing I've seen so far in all my time in beta. The escort NPC started running. That's right folks he started RUNNING. I couldn't believe my eyes that after five years of slowly walking to rescue Narlax he finally started to run. I'm still shocked about it as I write this post. On another note of awesomeness. The Worgen starting area has one of the best staff graphics I've even seen in game. It's a shame that this graphic is on a green and that it's replaced in 3 levels. The staff is actually animated with rose pedals falling off of it. Its beautiful and a Role Players must have.


Best Staff Graphic Ever.
Well, That's really all the beta stuff I have to share you guys for now. I know its not much but most of the things I know are already out there.
