Our little online forum topic doesn't generate much traffic, so I figured I'd post this here. The Friends & Family alpha, which is heavily restricted in content at the moment, but still full of new goodies nonetheless is active.

Blizzard has placed the Client on their site, and well, in general things were leaked and data mined to high hell, as usual.

http://wotlk.wikidot.com/ seems to be the best source for leaks at the moment, largely taken from MMOwned from what I've heard. I'll keep this thread updated with new events.

This is from a heavily restricted, and seemingly early Friends and Family Alpha, so if some of the stuff seems off, or stuff missing, well, that's why!

Might want to be careful. If Blizz finds out about it, they may ask for this thread to be removed.

Though, I don't know why Blizz wouldn't think that someone would break the NDA.

These aren't leaked from the NDA, someone actually pulled the info from the files on the client. Model viewer programs and others can do this.

Yeah, and despite their awkward approach to it, I'd say If Blizzard didn't want any leaks they wouldn't have distributed the client in an amazingly public manner, very well knowing what kind of datamining occurs on patch data.

Especially since it's an F&F alpha, why not distribute it privately?

Yeah. How did someone get the client? Did they allow people to just download it like it was with the BC? If so, then only have themselves to blame for the leaks. Even so, I know they're cracking down on all the information getting put out, so be careful.

You instantly get a DK slot on your server if you have a Level 55 or higher character, so none, basically.

Funny how it's conveniently leaked right around the time of Age of Conan's release.

My experiences thus far with AoC and in the past Anarchy Online lead me to believe that Funcom's work doesn't exactly need to be combated. Now, Mythic's product, that might cause some minor losses that'll last more than a couple months if their PvP experience transitions well into WAR

Shaman spells/talents

* Mind Shock - Shocks an enemy with concussive force, inflicting Nature damage and slowing attack and casting speeds by $s2% for $d.Time between attacks increased by $s2%.

Huh. Shaman now have CC. About time, I guess.

And what are "shock charges?" New gameplay mechanic for shaman?

Currently, just one 55+ (probably 70) character on your account will allow you to create a Death Knight at level 55. The DK starts out at the Necropolis over EPL with spells and abilities already there, a Deathcharger mount and some greens and blues.
 
The "Sword and Board" and "Shockwave" talents sound pretty amazing for my protection warrior!

I still can't shake that more of the same feeling with Lich King after reading these notes-fake or not-though. :(
 

Alex

Member
I don't believe there are any fakes in this, but they're still early Alpha talents, so they could get run through the ringer pretty hard. Heaven knows a lot of the BC ones did.

I'm tapping my foot waiting for the Alpha to expand and to include the PvP detailing though, specificly Siege and new battlegrounds.

I dunno about those rogue skills. They were added in later....and they seem kinda like something a Naruto fan would make.

Shadow Slash - Instantly teleports to a target doing $494a1% weapon damage and then teleporting to up to 2 additional enemies. Each teleport increases the damage dealt by 1s%.
Clone - Allows the Rogue to vanish from sight, entering an improved Stealth mode, but leaving behind a clone. The clone lasts for 12 seconds and has 4753d% of rogue's health.

Those just seem really weird, especially the clone one.

Yeah, not going to complain now because it's just the F&F Alpha, but seems like Mages are getting the shaft in terms of the amount of new content being applied to their class (compared to say, Warlocks :p).
 

Alex

2-3 classes aren't even up for play yet in F&F, and only a little bit of content is playable thus far. So yeah, it's not worth getting upset over anything at all in this stage.

Holy balls Warp Stalker Mount. Time to start saving money for the repgrind.

Also, I may ditch my Priest alt in favor of getting a Warlock to 70, Turning into a demon seems too awesome to pass up.

All these awesome talents though. I have a weird feeling that Rogues are going to get the shaft. Again....

I'm getting a rogue combo point vibe from shock charges.

And mages aren't exactly the most complicated class (pew pew), so I'm not too surprised they're not getting a whole lot just yet.
Mmmm, Sweet Potato Pie.

Maybe something more like the Judgement mechanic? Like, if you shock someone with a shock charge on them, the spells eats up the charge and deals an additional affect, based on the shock.

I'm skeptical about the talent list. Titan Grip was in the fake talent list for TBC. I find it hard to believe that Blizzard would use a fake talent from the last expansion for real in the WotLK.

Personally I think it's lame and is one of the strikes (for me) with WoW. Complete disregard for any decent kind of lore. Gnome dk's also are friggin' retarded. Way to kill off the badass feel and look dk's are supposed to have.

I'm pretty love/hate with WoW music. They're usually split between two composers I think. One guy being the fellow who wrote the music for Diablo II, I find his WoW work to be really lousy, myself, too much atmospheric work that doesn't stick in my mind.

The other guy, who did the music for Naxx, the BC and LK title themes, and the Blood Elf areas I absolutely adore. He also wrote the music for Fable, and I LOVED Fables music, best part of the damn game.

Is that Vanilla WoW? I'm unsure of which track you mean, but the two fellows I mentioned started music with AQ/Naxx and BC I think. I think a totally unrelated guy did the music for vanilla WoW.

Still, WoW really needs more music. That was a big strength of FFXI to me, so much fucking music, tons and tons.

I appreciated soundtracks being added in for Kara and the ilk, but I mean for the world in general, it'd be nice.

I've leveled Mages to 70 on both PVP and PVE and they better add more talents. Maybe an Elementalist form or something? Arcane form?

Perma Water Elemental please :<

My take on the lore: The Alliance finally gets over their retarded prejudices and racism to work together with Sylvanas and her necromancers in exploiting artifacts in the Necropolis to transform their soldiers into Death Knights, the logic being that every corpse being raised on THEIR side, is one less corpse being raised on the Lich King's side.

It'll probably be something 10x stupider though.
