Patch 4.2 PTR Firelands Impressions: Beth'tilac
When I was younger, I absolutely loved the Donkey Kong Country franchise. So when I got wind that one of the new bosses in Firelands was a flaming spider, the first thought that leaped into mind was "Oh my god, I get to fight Squitter!" He first appeared in Donkey Kong Country 2 as an animal companion for players. He had a goofy grin and had 8 sneakers. By the way, that game came out in 1995 on the SNES. Now that I've managed to remind some us how old we are, I'm going to move on and describe my first impressions with the Bethi'lac encounter after the jump. Spoiler warning -- don't say I didn't warn you!
Runes of Magic to add new raid instance
With the advent of The Elven Prophecy expansion, Runes of Magic will be embracing a brand new 12 player dungeon. The new "Hall of Survivors" will pit the players against ancient evil, including huge golem protectors of the cavernous halls.The raid will include 8 new bosses to face off against and it will be targeting only the highest of the current endgame players. If you're looking forward to tackling this brand new encounter, then you're going to have to wait just a few more days until September 15th rolls around. That's when The Elven Prophecy will be hitting servers, and also when you'll be getting this brand new raid dungeon as well as all of the other features accompanying the expansion.But, if you're still bouncing off of the walls for a look at this new raid, then look no further than the new teaser video on the Runes of Magic website.
What we know and don't know about the dungeon after Ulduar
One of the most often asked and debated questions on WoW Insider lately has been:"What is after Ulduar and patch 3.1?" While no one can know for sure, we do have some evidence out there that can help us at least look smart about it.Back in October 2008, Kaplan said in an interview with Curse that Patch 3.2 will contain a new raid instance that hasn't been announced yet. There's some question as to what exactly he was talking about. We also know from the article that Patch 3.3 will contain the Icecrown Citadel, so we know the 3.2 dungeon won't be that.There is also the possibility that Kaplan didn't mean a new raid instance in Patch 3.2, but a new battleground. Many people think this is the case. Zarhym confirmed that there will indeed be a new battleground sometime in the future, and signs point this happening in patch 3.2. However...
Sunwell closed on the PTR
While it looked like the new 25 man on the PTR, the Sunwell Plateau, was going to be staying open after a few closures in the recent weeks, luck would have that it's not.Daelo announced a short time ago that the instance will be locked until further notice to fix a bug in Lady Sacrolash and Grand Warlock Alythess. What this bug is exactly, we don't know. But I'm sure it has to be quite a good one for them to lock everyone out of the place.Keep an eye out on WoW Insider. We'll let you know when the Plateau is back up and patch 2.4 is ready for more action.
