Jord's Burning Crusade Beta SPOILER Thread (pics inside)Follow

To be honest I hit 60 on my warrior, got revered/exalted with the BGs, couldn't raid since my life can't be scheduled in its moment.

I guess this will give me a chance to reroll on a better server and keep doing the part of the game I liked the best, the leveling. Not to mention the fact I've forgotten the leveling aspect in all this time being 60.

I can't WAIT to buy this expansion.

Question I've been really curious about. Has rep changed, and how noticable is it if it has? It was suggested that it was going to change, but if it has, it seems like one of those details no one is mentioning (than again, first time someone mentioned the LFG function was like yesterday, as far as the beta info goes)

Also, if it has changed, how's rep look on the character you transfered to the beta? That's actually what I'm more curious about...


Edit: Oh yeah, and the BE stuff has me drooling...anyway you could get some quick screenies of the drainai area too anytime soon?

About rep - my rep DID transfer. My Druid has the same AB Honored (for example) that he has always had. I haven't gone to check if there are still rewards available. I'm planning on going and checking that out tomorrow (I'm very curious myself, and I've heard rumors that there will be no more PvP rep rewards.

As for Dranei - the Dranei race is down at the moment =( Dranei simply can't log in ... I have one created (a Shaman of course) and ready to roll out when they bring the race online. They do maintenance/updates every Monday so maybe I'll be able to get in there soon and get some pics.

Those new talents in the official site aren't actually in the beta yet. Don't know why. Make sure you pick up Mangle Jord, it's awesome right now.

They have more reps based rewards. More factions to build up reputations with, which I'm not exactly thrilled about, but if you're the kind of completist who just have to have every recipe out there, you have a long road ahead of you.

God i can't wait to get my new computer to play (of course when it's out, too).

I can't wait for this, I'll probably make a blood elf paladin (New talents are nice) and completely renew my WoW addiction! I can't bloody wait.

One question, is it true that 60-70 is longer than 1-59? If so, are there enough quests to supplement this or will we be forced into another FFXI grindfest?

To the above poster:

Jordster said that he is only level60 and has found numerous quests and numerous outposts in Outland and already found an instance quest.

Thanks Jordster! Those pics are awesome!

I'm on the PvE server ... Before you flame - it's because the PvP server is low pop and the PvE server is high pop. Druid's name is Jordster.

PS. I took a whole bunch of pics today and I'll upload them as soon as I'm done playing w/ my guild tonight.

If I remember correctly, the space ship that makes up the Draenei capital(or part of it?) Is only one escape pod of the much larger Tempest keep, which is the ship in which the Naaru assisted the Draenei in escaping their homeland, and which will also be an instance in outland.

Edit: Oh yeh, mucho gracias for all the awesome pics man, doing us addicts w/o beta invites a great service ^_^.

Jord, you always do such a great job with your posts, and my guild is very eager to see what is coming! If you don't mind I've directed them here to follow your day to day posts, as well as quoting the highlights on my guild boards.


Keep up the good work! Show us some instances and drops!

Wow these draenei are really ugly. I Always thought Taurens are ugly but these are just freaks...so many animals screwed together to form this ugly big and small thing.

Also fot the body structures the male Drae lookslike an Orc and a tauren thrown together the female is a human female and a smaller tauren female together. Skin changed, voila.

Thanks for the update, ahh its good to see that jewelcrafting stuff can come from something other then, well jewelcrafters.

Then I noticed something cool -- There is a new LFG Function!!!

LFG Window 1
LFG Window 2


This is something I've been waiting for a long time. I always said Blizz needed to get rid of the LFG channels and just make a simple tool like other MMOS and now it looks like they finally did. Looks like it includes comments and quests. Smiley: yippee

Goodbye spam. Now everyone fighting in LFG, the spammers, the grammar ***** and the lfg police can all get along in a nice big global general chat channel.

I have to concur. This is probably one of the best features that's been developed so far.
