Cataclysm Beta (Build 12857): New Glyph UI + Eclipse Bar Redesign
You may have remembered hearing that
Glyphs
were changing from consumable items to learnable skills. Last build we saw the makings of that—now, when you use a glyph, it goes into your general tab of the spellbook, ready to be used whenever you want to place it. Well in this latest build Blizzard has taken it a step futher and given the glyphs tab of your talent frame a complete makeover!
First off they've vastly increased the size of the frame—it's now the same size as the talent frame. You now have
NINE
glyphs to select: 3 Prime, 3 Major, and 3 Minor. On the right side of the panel you will have a list of all learned and unlearned glyphs. Blizzard was also kind enough to add some advanced glyph searching! No need to scroll down the list forever trying to find that one pesky glyph to switch in.

Cataclysm Map Update! New Classic / Cataclysm Dungeon + Raid Maps and More!
Epic map update! We've got
tons
of new maps straight from the latest Cataclysm beta patch, including new maps for classic dungeons and raids! Hopefully leveling in the newly streamlined Cataclysm questing zones doesn't go too fast so players will actually have a use for 'em! At least players will no longer have to discover a low level dungeon before being able to queue for it. Now all they need is to add a tour guide to
Versunkener Tempel
- you may laugh, but they actually
did
add tour guide NPCs to a certain quest in one of those horrible night elf barrow dens! Ever get lost in one of those for an hour or so? Yeesh.
Check out all the cartographical coolness after the break!

Cataclysm Icon Update (Build 12857) featuring Archaeology, Tabards and more!
Our beloved "silent co-developer"
mystadio
has yet again dug up some cool new icons from the latest Cataclysm beta patch, including icons for some interesting new archaeology items and more! I'm sure we'll see the items (or related spells, at least) added to our
Archaeology category
in a future patch, but in the meantime we can speculate on how awesome they're going to be just from the filenames. :)
We've got a few changed icons, as well, including a much-needed update to the
icon (that I'm probably the only person who absolutely hated). We've also got some snazzy new item icons, including icons for some
new tabards
, some which may still be placeholders but many of which we've never seen before! Personally, I think my druid will probably still stick to her beloved
Wappenrock der Entweihten
but that new Forsaken one is TOO AWESOME; a much needed alternative to the "only decent black tabard"
Wappenrock der Schwarzen Klinge
. Why can't I wear an o

Cataclysm Model Update - New Armor Sets, Minerals and Armadillos! What?
Blizzard just unleashed yet another patch to the Cataclysm beta last night, and with that comes more Cataclysmic model goodness! We've got some interesting new armor set models for each specialization (cloth, leather, plate and mail) and a few new weapons (including what appears to be Deathwing's mace)! We've also found some Cataclysm mineral vein models, a few new objects, and
armadillos
. I know you guys were thinking, "Man, how could Blizzard EVER top camels? Seriously!" - WELL WE'VE GOT ARMADILLOS NOW. I bet these little buggers roll around all sorts of awesomely. I wonder which one is going to be our new
Gürteltierjunges
companion pet? With all these domestic critters getting added, maybe we'll get our moose just yet!
We've got pretty pictures of all the model sets that you guys can click to view the armor on the race / gender of your choice in our 3D Model Viewer, so no complaining about any bias in selection of races, okay? Check out the full blog to view 'em all!

Cataclysm: Heroic Shadowfang Keep and Deadmines Available at Launch
I know you all heard the bad news that heroic modes for
Die Todesminen
and
Burg Schattenfang
wouldn't make it in for the launch of Cataclysm. Thankfully, it seems the original appraisal was wrong!
Valnoth
has come along and posted an announcement stating they
will
have the heroic modes for both SFK and DM at launch!
Heroics are not ready for testing.
Heroic Shadowfang Keep and Heroic Deadmines
WILL
be released with Cataclysm. You will not have to wait for a later patch.

Cataclysm: Zul'Gurub Gone!
Sad news for a lot of people,
Valnoth
has just made a post on the official forums stating
Zul'Gurub
will be removed in Cataclysm. No word yet on if
Schneller zulianischer Tiger
or
Schneller Razzashiraptor
will be moved elsewhere, but we can only hope!
Zul'Gurub is gone as a raid instance come Cataclysm.

Cataclysm Beta: More Zones Open For Testing
Valnoth
just went on a posting spree in the Official Cataclysm Beta forums announcing that several zones are now ready for testing!
Teufelswald
is a level 45-50 zone in Kalimdor, the quests for this area start at the Emerald Sanctuary. The completely revamped
Tausend Nadeln
, located in southern Kalimdor, is available for levels 40-45 and the breadcrumbs for this zone start in both Feralas and Dustwallow Marsh.
Next,
Uldum
is finally available for testing! It is available for levels 83-84 and the breadcrumbs start in
Tiefenheim
. The zone is not completely finished so you will run into a few stopping points. Finally,
Schattenhochland
is also open for testing. The zone is made for levels 84-85 with breadcrumbs starting Orgrimmar and Stormwind from their respective city leaders. As with Uldum, Twilight Highlands is not completely finished and you will run into stopping points while questing!

Cataclysm Beta: Streaming Launcher Improvements
In an upcoming beta build the Beta

Update:
We now have a screenshot of the new launcher! It is pretty sexy. Check it out on the right!

Cataclysm Model Update - Watch out, they spit!
Another Cataclysm model update, this time featuring
camels!
Let's all pretend we're not going to be flying around all of Azeroth and riding
seahorses
through its expansive waters and just be excited for yet another pack beast to carry us through our adventures! So far these camels are not tied to any specific items, but one can only assume they'll be used in
Uldum
(where
wild camels
can be found) and
possibly
linked to the
Ramkahen
faction, maybe as a reputation reward similar to the
Talbuks
earned in
Nagrand
.
We've also found the model for an eerie little crawling hand companion pet (think
Thing
from The Addams Family), which also looks like it may come out of Uldum (with all the creepy mummies and crazy Egyptian-themed business going on down th

Happy "One Year Since Cataclysm Was Announced" Anniversary!
Well, it's been one whole year now since World of Warcraft's Cataclysm expansion was announced on August 21, 2009 at BlizzCon in Anaheim, California! Since then, we've learned countless of new things about the upcoming expansion and all of the wondrous features we have to look forward to - the drastic changes to Azeroth, the return of Ragnaros, new playable races, guild leveling and so much more! Sadly, the one thing we haven't learned of in all this time is quite possibly one of the most important details of the upcoming expansion - the
release date
. Recent interviews have allowed us to speculate of a late 2010 release (as they originally intended) but we're running out of 2010! I'm about to choke from my nerdy mouth frothing so long over here!
I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you guys the news that we've
massively updated
our
Cataclysm guide
! It's now even more chock full of glorious screenshots of the changed world and extensive, up-to-date details on major Cataclysm changes! Of course, we're gonna keep updating this guide probably until Cataclysm is ready to hit, so be su

Cataclysm New Feature: Level Sync?
The Escapist
recently did an interview with
Greg "Ghostcrawler" Street
, where they talk Blizzard's plans and ideas behind Cataclysm. One part that really stood out was Ghostcrawler mentioning a new system being put in place that will
allow high level characters to decrease their level to help out low level characters.
This sound familiar to anyone? Anyone who has ever played Final Fantasy XI may remember this as
Level Sync
, and City of Heroes players may remember this as their "Mentoring System". Ghostcrawler does mention that this may happen
eventually
, so no getting your hopes up if it doesn't come true!
Cataclysm may also eventually include a system that allows players to scale down their character's level in order to help newer players. The heirloom items unveiled in Wrath of the Lich King already scale with a character's level, so adjusting t

Exclusive GamesCom Tom Chilton Interview - Archaeology Details and More!
Lots of interesting new Cataclysm-related information has been revealed in extensive interviews performed the
GamesCom 2010
convention in Germany, and we're ready to add to it with an exclusive fan Q+A interview with World of Warcraft Lead Designer
Tom Chilton
courtesy of our friends at
Heldendaten.de
! We've got a full transcript of the interview to share with you guys which you can check out after the break!
For all of you
TL;DR
folks out there, I've summarized the majority of important details of the interview:
When will Cataclysm be released?
"It'll be the first Tuesday after it's done." Seriously, though, they want to shoot for a 2010 release but there's still a few months of development / polishing yet.
Will we ever see the Path of the Titans?
Not in Cataclysm (of course) but it could always see a conceptual revamping and return in a later expansion.

Cataclysm Build 12759: New Data and Talent Calc Updated!
Build 12759
was pushed to the beta servers last Friday, and after a long and difficult fight with the new game file format, we now have all the new data added!
Blizzard has added all new quest completion achievements for Azerothian old world zones, which will now be part of the criteria for earning
(similar to the existing
Meister der Lehren der Scherbenwelt
and
Meister der Lehren von Nordend
Achievements). With most 1-60 zones featuring many new streamlined quest hubs and tons of new quests, earning Loremaster should come much more naturally and involve less scavenging for that one missing quest in a zone!
The ferocious
Todesschwingchen
, which is part of the recently
announced
Cataclysm Collector's Edition, also makes an appearance in this build, as well as several new cooking recipes—including
Lavaschuppenminestrone
and
Südinseleistee

Best. Warcraft Music. Ever. - Cataclysm's Opening Theme
It's been a pretty busy weekend in the Cataclysm Beta, with the addition of the
Guild Vendor
and a number of interesting
new UI changes
. However, there's one aspect in the development of the new World of Warcraft expansion that's been coming along
wonderfully
and isn't getting quite the attention it deserves - until now! Many Cataclysm zones feature entirely new or completely changed music which I'd love to share with you guys - if you'd be interested?
In any case, I present to you the most amazing World of Warcraft musical piece ever (well, except for
Power of the Horde
- but I'm just biased):
The Shattering
, the 12-minute long epic currently gracing the Cataclysm Beta's login screen. Enjoy!
Thanks

for uploading, I'd have gotten this up sooner for you guys but I'm terrible at making even the most simple of YouTube videos!
