Prepare For Cataclysm - Cataclysm Alpha Begins

Although it's
only friends and family at the moment this is still
fantastic news
because it means that the expansion is now playable
to a large
extent.

Hopefully we'll be able to get some information about
beta once the
alpha has been going for awhile.

If any of you
are lucky enough to know a blizzard employee, you
should have them
request you a key a.s.a.p.!

It seems like the expansion was only
announced like a month ago. I
guess in these modern days of
MMORPGs, you get used to waiting
years for games and expansions to
be released, and thankfully
Blizzard never makes us wait long!

Just
remember, due to this information, I'm sure there's going to
be
large amounts of scams trying to get information saying you can
get
into Alpha, remember that they are not real and it's only a
friends
and family alpha!

Updates on Cataclysm changes:

The Major
PvE change is the current Badge system is to be replaced
by a PvE
points system, similar to the current battlegrounds
system. There
will be 2 tiers of points.
 
Hero Points - Low-tier,
easier-to-get PVE points. Maximum cap to
how many you can own, but
no cap to how quickly you can earn them.
Earned from most dungeons.
(most like the current Emblem of Triumph)

Valor Points -
High-tier, harder-to-get PvE points. Maximum cap to
how many you can
own, as well as a cap to how many you can earn per
week. Earned
from Dungeon Finder daily

Heroic and from raids. (most like the
current Emblem of Frost)

PvP is getting a points system as
well...

Honor Points - Low-tier, easier-to-get PVP points. There
will be a
maximum cap to how many you can own, but no cap to how
quickly you
can earn them. Earned from most PvP activities.

Conquest
Points - High-tier, harder-to-get PvP points. There will
be a
maximum cap to how many you can own, and a cap to how many you
can
earn per week. Earned from winning

Rated Battlegrounds or
Arenas. (currently called Arena Points).

The higher-tier points
will, of course, have better rewards.. When
a new tier of gear is
released, the higher tier of points will be
converted to the lower
tier, so players will always begin a new season
with no Valor or
Conquest Points.

There are also plans for players to be able to
convert the lower
tier PvP points to PvE and vice versa, though at a
slight loss.

Cataclysm Raids Changes

Blizzard is
chucking the separate lockouts for 10 and 25 man
encounters, on both
normal and heroic modes. In other words, there
will be one lockout
for each raid, you'll no longer be able to
complete both versions of
a raid. Instead, raid
leaders will now be able to change the size
of an existing raid to
suit the size of the group, for example, if
half of a raid has been
completed as 25 man, it will be possible to
swap the rest of it to 10 man.

Both 10 and 25 man raids will
drop the same loot in Cataclysm, but
more loot will drop from each
boss in 25 man mode, along with more
points, and more gold, making
the challenge of a larger raid worthwhile.

Raids will be able
decide whether or not to tackle each boss as a
normal or heroic
encounter, as they reach it.

WOTLK Player Achieves Every
Achievement

Caspi from Refuge on the EU server Taerar has just
"achieved" every
single achievement in Wrath of the Lich King, even
the 25man Lich
King Heroic kill, which means essentially that he has
"beat" Wrath of
the Lich King! Seeing as there's nothing else to
obtain or complete,
I wonder if he was sad to see that there was no
Achievement for
completing every Achievement. Maybe Blizzard should
make the "Completed every
achievement" and name it Caspi!
