World of Warcraft- Patch 3.2 Notes!

noreply@blogger.com (K) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 04:06:00 +0000

First off, this patch is absolutely amazing! A new battleground known as "The Isle of Conquest" is going to be released. It is going to be a 40 vs 40 battle with siege vehicles, strategic attacks, and more! Blizzard has also introduced a new way to level. You can now gain experience in battlegrounds! The players are now awarded with experience for completing certain objectives in battlegrounds. Wait there is more! Blizzard is releasing a new type of raid. It is called "Crusaders' Coliseum". There are 4 different versions of this raid: 10 man normal, 25 man normal, 10 man heroic, and 25 man heroic.

Another exciting feature is that you can now earn Emblems of Conquest in any existing heroic raid/naxx. Now, all players have the chance to earn t8.5! Now this may be great news for the casual players, but I wonder how the competitive players feel. What do you guys think?

Many new features have been added to the game, and like every patch several nerfs/additions have been added to each class as well. Below I have listed the current notes.

World of Warcraft - The Isle of Conquest Preview

noreply@blogger.com (K) — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 00:37:00 +0000

The creators of World of Warcraft have released a preview of the new battleground "The Isle of Conquest". This brand new content will be released with the next patch "Call of the Crusade". The battleground will hold up to 40 players on each team on a small island off Northrend's coast.

"There are five points of interest on the Isle of Conquest for the factions to battle over. Each one offers its own benefits and strategic value. Which one will you claim for your side, and will it be enough to ensure victory?

Capture Locations

Consider your options before storming out of your keep to confront the enemy head-on. Spread throughout the Isle of Conquest are several capturable locations (as seen on the map), each granting a unique strategic advantage to your team.

The Oil Derrick: Located on the northwestern end of the island, this smudge in the Frozen Sea produces enough black gold to run a thousand siege engines. Taking this resource garners precious reinforcements and a continuous flow of honor to the side that controls it.

The Cobalt Mine: This snow-covered assembly, located on the southeastern end of the island, hides untapped supplies that must be harvested. Taking this resource grants reinforcements and a continuous flow of honor to the side that controls it.

The Docks: The western shore's docks will further expand your selection of siege weapons with the devastating new Glaive Thrower and the Catapult. Unleash the destruction of the Glaive Thrower upon the walls of the keep, or launch your invading party over the walls to assault the keep from within.

The Airship Hangar: This sturdy steel structure stands on the peak of Mt. Conquest overlooking the eastern side of the island, allowing players to board the airship docked there. This devastating weapon of war is capable of raining death upon the heads of your enemies and destroying enemy defenses. Once onboard the airship, players will find it comes equipped with parachutes enabling a strike team to drop into the enemy keep from above.

The Siege Workshop: Situated right between the Alliance base and the Horde base, this siege workshop occupies a strategic hot spot. Seizing it grants the controlling party the ability to utilize an arsenal of siege vehicles perfectly suited to reducing the enemy keep’s walls to dust and ashes.

Graveyards: There are five graveyards in the Isle of Conquest that are attached to different points of interest on the map: the Horde base, the Alliance base, an oil spill island in the center of the map (attached to the siege workshop), the northeast corner (attached to the airship hangar), and the southwest corner (attached to the docks).

Main Objectives

The Keeps: The Horde and Alliance keeps sit at opposite ends of the island. These citadels host four easily accessible defensive cannons set on the ramparts, capable of unleashing hot fury onto oncoming attackers. Additional explosives sit safely stowed in the base of the keep along the back wall. At least, they’re safe as long as they don’t fall into enemy hands. If they do, though, they can be employed to bring the stone walls down from within.

The General: Holed up behind the keeps' massive walls, the generals command their forces from a position of relative safety. Should the keep fall and the general be slain, the Isle of Conquest will fall to the victor.

Reinforcements: Isle of Conquest uses a reinforcements system similar to that of Alterac Valley. The clock is ticking and every individual counts. If too many of your comrades fall to the enemy the battle will end in defeat. Killing enemy players will reduce their reinforcements by one for each kill, Once your faction’s reinforcements reach their limit, so too does your bid for control of the island and the wealth of resources you’ve fought so hard over.

An island somewhere off the shores of Northrend. A rock, hardly worth a second look. A test of strength. A chance to prove your might, to crush your enemies, to make a difference, a chance for endless glory and conquest.

Will you seize it? "
