Still can't wait to get inside Naxx again. Also some cool looking guard towers that look like the ones from Warcraft 3.
A cool looking eagle sitting on a rock in Grizzly Hills. They've added alot of depth to the world, birds flying around(not those crappy lookin ones in the old world), more sharks and other aquatic animals.
Not sure if these are 10 or 25-man, but same deal as Death Knights, they have the same set bonuses.
I believe both links are Tier 7 10-man. Doesn't matter, set bonuses are the same. Really happy about the disease tooltips.
Some dialog at the horde town, Warsong Hold. Its an orc telling his son about some Alliance deserters, that happen to be in the pen with the pigs.
This is cool how they made it seem very hidden. The holes in the ceiling actually goto the surface, where a river use to flow. Hard to explain, very cool to see.
At the bottom of the screenshot is the area that has the 10/25 man instance, Chamber of Aspects. At the top is the Red Dragonflight, including Alexstrasz, leading the fight against the Blue Dragonflight, who are trying to wipe out magic users, and are attacking the tower.
The new rank of Windfury Weapon. I'm not sure if this is available at 70, I was 72 when they were patched in...didn't even work. They got them to work last patch. There's a glyph also, that gives your Windfury Weapon bonus damage a 40% increase, making this even better.
"Hey the King is Back!" Or however the male human joke goes. This is his new throne. I guess they give missing kings cool thrones for coming back. Lady Prestor isn't to be found, wonder how they Onyxia chain works now.
They've added some cool fog effects in Wrath. They look really good and give the game more atmosphere.
The new Northrend dryad model. This particular dryad had a decient quest chain, nothing hard, all fairly close.
This is at Theramore, suprisingly. Evidently its part of some quest that originates in Northrend.
One of the reasons why flying mounts will be needed/used more than they were in The Burning Crusade. This is looking down on one of the Alliance towns, from the peak of a mountain where I completed a quest.
An awesome floor warmap inside the hold, showing Alliance, Horde and Arthas' Forces.
While I don't care for most of Boren Tundra, I do love the Horde fortress that Blizzard has crafted. Its amazing, and you can't get the feel of it till you see it yourself. Horde will arive at it via zeplin from Orgrimar. It lands inside the fortress and your quickly introduced to the troubles at the hold.
Cool little quest chain in Howling Fjord that ends with you riding one of the spears back down to the town.
One of the recient beta patches extended the Death Knight starting questline. It now ends with you having to cleanse Ebon Hold of the Lich King's "present." No he didn't leave something on the rug, but he did leave Patchwerk. Luckly you still have the uber Aura you did from the Lights Hope Chapel event.
One of the places I can't wait to raid again. I loved the 40-man version, and made great progress with the guild I was in at the time, Kingsguard(on Medivh).
This is the guy you should be mad at for getting into the beta when you didn't.
An amazing view of Grizzly Hills from Howling Fjord. Haven't been able to explore Grizzly Hills much, but it looks amazing so far.
Very cool quest chain leads you to explore around the statue, while disguised so that the Iron Dwarves who've taken over don't question you. This was taken from a flight path taking me to the start of the chain. Some interesting Titan lore from this chain, it makes it even more mysterious.
The first thing you see as you enter Howling Fjord...the fjord! Its really narrow, and the ship fills the waterway. It really is an amazing way to start Northrend.
The scenery is amazing. Makes The Burning Crusade look boring. And I've only seen two zones!
These guys are really well done. Not only do they have herds, but they have ones called "Shoveltusk Stag." If another one comes near the others herd, they'll fight. They start out by charging each other. Then they hit each other for awhile, till about half health, when they retreat. Seeing it is better than my description.
Taken from one of the docks at a Tuskarr settlement; thought it was very cool. Shows off the Northrend sky and its "Aurora Borealis" effect.
A small section of quests have you find out who desecrated some old Vykrul graves. They all have the spirit of a Vykrul over them. This one in particular had one casting some wave. Looked really cool. Another had the spirit of his pet bear sleeping by the grave.
Surprisingly, this is still in Howling Fjord. Its some sort of Proto Dragon hatching grounds. Few quests involved with the area.
This is the island that the Ancient Lift takes you to. Its from a different angle and far away.
The Ancient Lift is what you see me riding there. It carries players from the mainland in Howling Fjord to and island with a Tuskarr settlement.
The first thing you see entering Howling Fjord is the massive Utgard Keep looming over the quite small Alliance outpost. The level 70 dungeon itself is short and fun, though the last boss did bug out the first time; luckily you only have to run out to reset him.
These guys were cool, they had chemguns and were plaguing a Vykrul town. Not fun to fight if you pull more than one though.
The new Inns are cool. No cellar, but they are split level, and have a bit more "life" to them.
