In today's news round up, we cover the initial phasing stage of
Isle of Thunder
, a new daily hub in Patch 5.2 that has many content features and lore developments.
Blizzard's posting frenzy continues as well with potential 5.2 class changes as well as explanations on why the Tier 14 raids are nerfed by 10% and Tier 15 LFR gear is ilvl 502.
Isle of the Thunder King: Stage 0
As stated yesterday,
Blizzard is testing different phases of the Isle of Thunder
every few days for the month of February on the PTR. It's important to test every phasing stage as each one has a cool addition like the
Lightning Forge
or
Treasure Scenario
.
These past few days, Stage 0 has been available for testing. Here's what players can experience:
Kirin Tor Offensive
and
Sunreaver Onslaught
have set up base on warships near the island. They have not yet landed and constructed the bases play

In today's
Activision Blizzard earnings call
it was revealed that World of Warcraft lost its initial burst of subscribers from Mists of Pandaria, coming down to 9.6 million. Last year WoW lost
a lot of subscribers
and was at 9.1 million right before WoW's expansion came out:
600k
,
300k
,
800k
, and finally
100k subscribers last February

This is still an increase from where things were before MoP launched, but we'll have to see if the more frequent pace of these patches improves subscribers furthe

5.2 PTR: New Reputations and Rewards Preview
posted
2013/02/06 at 11:21 AM
by
perculia
There are three new factions in Patch 5.2:
Kirin Tor Offensive
,
Sunreaver Onslaught
, and
Shado-Pan Assault
. Here's an overview of their different types of reputation rewards:
Kirin Tor Offensive
and
Sunreaver Onslaught
After the Dalaran fallout in 5.1, these two new factions led by Jaina Proudmoore and Lor'themar Theron respectively are investigating the new island both to help the Pandaren and profit for their own political gain--check out our
5.2 Audio Spoilers
for more details. You can also check out some of the daily quests
here
.
Rewards
These factions
were initially not intended
to have Valor Point rewards, but since 5.2 was a very raid-heavy patch, epic rewards costing
Valor Points
are being added to be palatable for non-raiders.
From Zarhym: "These rewards are ilevel 496 and will only accommodate a few slots, as they aren’t intended to be very attractive to raiders (including those running LFR),

5.2 PTR: Single-Player Loot-Grabbing Scenario, Ghostcrawler on PvP

perculia
We've got a more current preview of this scenario
here
, now with harmful NPCs and traps present!
5.2 Single-Player Loot-Grabbing Scenario
On Blizzard's recent
Patch 5.2 Preview
page, they describe a "single-player loot-grabbing scenario," otherwise known as the
Treasure Room
. This was recently viewable in a rough state on the PTR, and while we queued up and tested it out, we weren't quite sure what its purpose was until Blizzard's announcement!
It appears that
Troves of the Thunder King
is the zone for the single-player scenario and the steps are as follows:
Stage 1 – Speak to Taoshi
You will only have a limited amount of time to gather as much treasure as you can. Speak to Taoshi when you're ready to begin.
Final Stage – Reach the Exit
Grab as much treasure as you can and reach the exit before the timer expires.
To access the
Treasure Room
, your server must have unlocked part of the
Isle of Thunder

5.2 PTR: Blacksmithing Leveling Revamp, Megaera Video
posted
2013/02/01 at 11:18 AM
by
perculia
In today's news round up, we found some big changes to blacksmithing on the 5.2 PTR! Blizzard is also conducting a ton of raid testing this week, for which we have a preview video, and launched a
Patch 5.2 Under Development
site that has information on the new raid, world bosses, factions, and PvP changes.
New Blacksmithing Training Projects
If leveling Blacksmithing always seemed daunting, 5.2 should make this a bit easier. There is a series of new
Training Projects
requiring
Ghost Iron Bar
that should get you from 1 to 500--no more flying around Azeroth for
Mithril Ore
.
This reminds us of the Pandaria leveling recipes added to
Cooking
at the start of Mists of Pandaria, which allowed players to level up cooking mostly from vendor materials and cut out the need for old-world reagent farming. So far, no other professions appear to have received a similar revamp on the PTR.
These training projects, such as
Training Project: Ghost Iron Wok
, can be learnt by players level 85 or higher, from Pandaria trainers in
Vale of Eternal Blossoms
:
Cullen Hammerbrow
and
Jorunga Stonehoof
. Upon learning the skill, they w

5.2 PTR: Season 13 Weapons, Faction-Specific 3D Models
posted
2013/01/31 at 11:26 AM
by
perculia
There are now PvP vendors on the
latest PTR build
who sell all Season 13 gear for free in your Pandaria capital city. This includes Season 13 weapons, which we haven't previewed before!
The Season 13 weapons are ilvl 493 and have unique colors for both factions. Right now, only the Alliance vendor sells weapons, but if you change factions, you'll get the Horde equivalent. There are also additional datamined ilvl 513 elite weapons (purchasable after accumulating 27,000
) with recolored models.
Many weapons follow blue and red color schemes, but some also have specific details that make them match certain
Season 13 armor sets
. We've included screenshots of these complete outfits after the cut, as well as provided 3D models of all the new Season 13 weapons. (Note: several S13 weapons do not have new models yet--we've included them just for completion.)
