Cataclysm Preview: Twilight Highlands
Blizzard has just posted their official preview of one of Cataclysm's new zones: the
Alture del Crepuscolo
!
Located past Grim Batol to the east of the Wetlands, the Twilight Highlands is home to the Twilight's Hammer. The Dragonmaw clan now cling to the edges of the Highlands, while the Wildhammer Dwarves dwell in forested outposts throughout the land. Throughout the zone you will encounter the destructive nature of the elements, and some hints at the Old Gods...
You can find the official preview on Blizzard's Cataclysm site

Blizzard Announce Changes To Talents, Specialization and Mastery
Zarhym just posted an announcement on the official forums with Blizzard's change in design with how talents and mastery will be changing for an upcoming
Cataclysm
beta build.
One of the major changes mentioned is that instead of putting talents where ever you want starting at level 10 you are asked what would would like your
primary tree
to be. After picking your spec you will only be allowed to put talents into that tree until 31 points are spent.
Another change (this is a
BIG
one) is you will only gain talent points every
other
level. This means by level 85 you will only have
41 talent points
to spend.
The final change is Mastery will no longer be affected by how many talent points you have spent in the tree but instead be given as flat percentages. The percentages can be increased by the mastery stat on items which you will be able to make use of when you learn the new Mastery skill around level 75.
So a quick rundown on the changes:
At level 10,
you will be asked to specialize into a single talent tree
.
You can only spend talent points in th

The Weekly Marmot - Cataclysm Zone & Quest Design
This week, I get entirely too excited about how incredibly awesome questing is in the expansion. No longer will leveling from 1-60 just be the part of the game you try to breeze through as quickly as possible so you can get into the "more interesting" quests. Don't believe me? Watch this.
Also, my wedding ring fell off in a lake.

Cataclysm Dungeon Bosses
A couple of builds ago Cataclysm alpha testers saw the first "real" achievements from the new expansion - achievements different from the random funny placeholders and the standard exploration achievements. I am talking about the dungeon (and some raid) achievements. And although they were cool in and of themselves, to me there was something else intriguing hiding inside them - the knowledge of what the different instances will be called and what kind of bosses they will feature. From this we could even gather some very basic and preliminary information about who (or
what
) those bosses will be. Interesting stuff for me and other players eager to learn more about the expansion.
So! Let me get to the good stuff and present you with a list of all the bosses in the Cataclysm dungeons, as well as with some short description and links whenever they are available. Keep in mind, only Blackrock Caverns and Throne of the Tides are available for testing (even if some of us managed to sneak inside the Stonecore), so information beyond those 2 (3) will be
scarce
virtually non-existent. Also, keep an eye out for a similar blog for raids!

Blackrock Caverns Impressions
The latest news on the Internet - Cataclysm closed beta is hitting us good! But we all know this. What's more important is that since the NDA has been lifted, we'll be showering you with tons of new information, blogs, guide pages, videos, screenshots, and dataz.
Fewyn
just posted some good stuff about the
UI Changes
in Cataclysm (and you should check it out if you haven't), so I decided to go a different route - do a dungeon, see how it feels, give a few screenshots, and a bit of an overall opinion about how the experience is.
Right now the only two dungeons available for testing are
Blackrock Caverns
and the
Throne of the Tides
. So I went to my good old friend, the Dungeon Finder, and said "Yo dawg, you heard I like dungeons? Give me a random one!" And so the
Blackrock Caverns
popped...

As many of you know the water texture ingame is getting an overhaul in the upcoming
Cataclysm

Cataclysm Preview: Grim Batol
Blizzard has just posted an official preview of one of Cataclysm's new 5 player dungeons...
Grim Batol
.
Grim Batol was once home to the Wildhammer clan of dwarves. Eventually, the Dark Irons led an attack on Grim Batol, and in the process tainted the fortress forever. Now occupied by the Twilight's Hammer, brave players will venture forth into the fortress to stop the nefarious plots of the fortress' new master...
