1) No way. Blizz09 = Starcraft 2 and the new project

2) I think Ulduar and IC will have hardcore end bosses (prob 1 week instead 3 days xD)

3) I hope

4) LooooooL This is gonna happen for sure xD But Dspec will be a nice stuff for healers. Solo.questing is terribling boring

5) A must. Leveling from 1 to 60 is horrible. Maybe a 2 lvls for 1 would be a nice idea.

Great post =)

1) Someone already “leaked” Maelstrom as the next one at Blizzcon. But then they could change that easily enough.

2) Ulduar apparently has 12+1 bosses, of which at least 1 will not be visible on PTR, if the rumour mill is to be beleived. http://www.stratfu.com/strats/Ulduar.com

3) Emblems of Heroism will be able to purchase 213 gear instead, when Ulduar comes out with 226 base gear and and end boss with 239 gear.

4) Yeah probably. Druids will have a whale of a time (or should that be vampire walrus abomination of a time)

5) Definitely.

I think you’re right on pretty much all of them, but on the dual spec point, I really, really wish you weren’t.

Unfortunately, the one thing which Blizz can’t beat in this game is the douchebag factor. They can code in whatever attempted solutions they like in order to try, but said douchebags seem to employ an incredible amount of creativity and tenacity in order to ensure that their douchebaggery remains constant.

But for those people who choose a PvE and a PvP spec as their dual-specs: Please quit playing WoW and play a PVP MMO.

Fixed, Kes.

I think those are all reasonable guesses. My only comment of substance would be on the dual-spec. So little is known about that at the moment, it’s anyone’s guess as to how it’ll be implemented.

I could certainly see someone choosing two distint hunter or druid specs. Probably two for pallies (tank/holy or tank/dps, or even dps/holy) and DKs (although I don’t know that much about the DK class yet).

But for those people who choose a PvE and a PvP spec as their dual-specs: THAT is why you have alts!

1) Dunno enough of the WoW lore, but if Space Blueberries are possible, anything is possible…
2) I hope that it is so hard that it needs to be nerfed in a future patch
3) I hope that a 10 – 1 exchange happens…
4) I LOLed a lot, then died a little inside as this will happen all too often. I NEED to get my Shaman to 80 so that I can pug groups, all day long
5) Probably, but they will miss a lot of great content though.
