Nonlinear dungeons return in Wrath
June 29th, 2008 at 01:12pm Under Wrath
To me, one of the most exciting parts of this morning’s Dungeons and Raids panel at the WWI is the fact that they’re going to add more nonlinear elements to five man dungeons. Thank Uther! As far as time it takes to complete dungeons, The Burning Crusade was a massive improvement, but I couldn’t help but feel something major was lost when they all amounted to pull-drink-pull with solid hallways guiding you straight forward. I really started to miss places like Blackrock Depths.
The Caverns of Time was a gloriously refreshing change from that, and I’m glad they took something out of that poll they did awhile back. The previews of The Occulus and Caverns of Time: Stratholme were fantastic, and that nonlinearity is one of the best parts, easily. Even though you will probably have killed all of the same bosses in the end that you would have if the dungeon were linear, just in a different order, having choices available and environments that aren’t simply enclosed hallways that go in one direction really brings a place to life. It’s hard to believe that the Botanica is just one really long constant hallway, for example.
Here’s hoping that these elements extend beyond Old Stratholme and The Occulus, and Wrath will bring dungeons back to life.

Arena Season 4 Begins
June 29th, 2008 at 01:06pm Under World of Warcraft News
Arena Season 4 has now officially begun, and players can immediately begin competing for the new Brutal Gladiator and Guardian PvP item sets. Players will now also be able to purchase Arena Season 2 items using the honor system. Please note that we have reset all Arena team and personal ratings, though players retain their Arena points and teams. The team and personal rating have simply been reset to the default 1500, allowing all teams to once again compete for top honors with a fresh start. Also, with the end of the third season, players on the top teams from each battlegroup will be receiving their end-of-season rewards approximately one week from today. These include Arena-specific titles that they can display proudly until the end of the new season, and, for the best of the best, an Armored Nether Drake.
