World of Warcraft Expansion - Blizzcon
There have been several reports about the new expansion lately. One of the major things that troubles me is the new Blood elf race. It’s quite obvious that Blizzard added this “pretty” race to try and balance out the number of people who choose alliance and horde. No problem….I just don’t want Horde to turn into the “zerg”.
The racial ability mana tap worries me.. Apparently it allows the character to drain energy from their opponent to use for themselves. Currently it allows you to drain mana, energy, and rage… There will be a lot of people rerolling if you can instantly drain energy for a rogue.
Is there anyone else out there who is worried about the new instances and raising the level cap to 70? It’s already difficult enough for them to balance the game. Giving everyone 10 additional points to spend would be insane. Hopefully these ten points will only be useable for an entirely different skill set.
Flying mounts should be fun. 
After the 2k gold required to buy one of course. (I’m just guessing btw) You will need to be level 70 to ride one from what I’ve read so far.
Weather will be added to the game.
Auction Halls in every major city. (woot)
New battleground “55-70 Hellfire Peninsula” from a mission in Warcraft 2. (I need to finish getting exhalted in AB..been busy this week. >_<
Socketed items will be added to the game. The new profession “jewelcrafting”will be needed to place gemstones in the socketed items. If you have ever played Diablo, then you know all about these type of items.
Overall, I am paranoid about this patch. The potential to completely unbalance the game further for pvpers is incredibly high.
