Yea 16k from exalted. I'm just lazy and other than raid days I tend to not even log in the game.

This boss looks cool as hell, basically a kind of undead Pit Lord, considering how many injuries he's sustained. Gotta love the arrow in the ass.

Of course the graphics and character models are pretty much irrelevant to most people on these boards who mostly care about PvP and gear quality (which I can understand), but as a casual gamer who enjoys the Warcraft lore, I'm just happy seeing new demons. Yay!

I'm really curious what ripped his wings the fuck off - that's something you don't see too often.

Could "Balancing actions will be taken in regard to PvP for certain classes." possibly be more generic?

The e-sports viability for arenas line ... sounds rather foreboding. Looking at the FPS centered world of e-sports games, all the variety that makes MMOs cool (gear, level, talent builds) is.. pretty damned alien. Bringing the homogeneity such a format of play seems to call for to WoW, well, it's already wreaking some havok as arena balance changes ripple outward through the rest of the game.

What about the havoc wreaked as PvE balance changes rippled outward through the rest of the game?

PVE (and world PvP) is the pond. It's been the core of the game from its inception. The battlegrounds and arena are rocks thrown into it. It's not to say that they're important, but let's not forget how this game has been developed and how it has evolved.

It's going to continue evolving in a PvP and likely smaller raid direction.

Are you infering that we may be seeing balanced PvP where actual skill and ability takes center stage over equipment?

Shades of say Delta Force I/II where everyone had the same weapons available and the more skillful players with better tactics would win?

Damn wouldn't that be sweet, finally someone that doesn't play 18 hours / day could kick ass. Of course I am probably misunderstanding the changes.

Max audience and exposure is only assured by keeping the PvE segment alive and kicking. Raid content will be in a format similar to what we're seeing more and more now, that lets highend guilds get the glory of first kills et al and other guilds access to it later, probably in a more extreme fashion than right now. Arena competition games will be a kind of sports event inside the world of Warcraft, something NPC's talk about as if they were talking about football. With an amateur league and a pro league. Obviously, they will not be mixed and diffirent rules will count for both. You are not allowed to bring your own bat and ball in a pro league game.

There is a lot of potential here, for everybody.
