instant boost to 90:

seems like it is just what it sounds like. Not sure if you have a limit of how many chars or a cooldown period but designed to allow older unused chars for players coming back to get right into the new expansion.

The end of this expansion is going to spill over into the next one. Many more expansions are lined up now.
 
sounds like the ps4 version of D3 will not be available till after the PC expansion release so it will be the same at that point.

A portal into Warcraft history has ripped open, and the fifth World of Warcraft expansion has been revealed! Warlords of Draenor sends players to the savage world of Draenor—home of the mighty orcs and haven of the mystic draenei—to fight against and alongside legends from Warcraft’s brutal past.

Amid Draenor’s untamed jungles and battle-scarred plains, a merciless new Iron Horde has been forged from the mighty orc clans of old. To save their own world from impending invasion, Azeroth’s heroes will need to explore the far reaches of this unforgiving land, achieving new heights of power on their way to the new level cap of 100. To establish a foothold on Draenor, players will construct, command, and expand their own Garrison, a customizable base of operations and refuge for the followers you recruit to your desperate cause. Warlords of Draenor also empowers players to instantly boost one character to level 90, making it so anyone can join the battle for Draenor alongside their friends.

production of tablet version of hearthstone has advanced so it is not much behind the pc version currently.

I really wish they would release the iPad version on the App Store. It's not like it would matter since you would need to log into your Battle.Net account that has Hearthstone attached to it to play anyway. I tried to show someone Hearthstone once using my iPad while remoting into my desktop using Splashtop Remote Desktop. It was... awkward.

My first thought about the expansion... "I'm... pretty sure we've been to 'Draenor' before...." So, the whole time thing makes more sense, and it might be nice to see some of the areas only told in legend. But, if that's back in time, does that mean we'll get to see people like Gul'dan? That could be cool....

Yes, and it looked really awkward. 😛

What did you think of the StarCraft Ball Z trailer?

new world draenor

level cap 100

upgrade mechanism for towns

new character models

new dungeons/raids

new outdoor PVP area

new mobs

"boost to 90 and play immediately"


the grull with cannons strapped to their backs looked cool.

Very Gears of War-esque.
 
garrosh gets the old orc warlords together, teaches him the modern technologies to arm the orc armies, and works to build a portal back to modern day azeroth.
 
talking about the map and how the areas relate to what you see in outland.

to me the map looks almost like the overall size of the pandara map, just erase some of the land between zones and replace with large bodies of water.

Sounds predictable but hey it's a new Warcraft continent to explore so that's a plus 😀

I hope Garrosh isn't the new big enemy in WoD...
 
outland will still exist as is (at least they haven't said anything otherwise yet), WOD is travelling to it at an earlier time.
 
they had a prefilmed piece showing some mod type stuff with starcraft, assume it was in that.
