I should add a disclaimer for my previous entry, since it has received a lot of attention.

My entry on Wrath’s impending changes was not meant to be a review. The expansion is not yet done. There is still one and a half months left before it hits the shelves. It was meant to be a preview based on the build before today’s that simultaneously expresses my opinions as a blogger. Furthermore, it was meant to give people an idea of what general changes and features are inevitable.

But it has to be recognized that it is still an unfinished product. This is why I made statements like, “It [phasing] is, however, a little more limited in Icecrown than I’d like, but that might be because it is unfinished.”

Such statements are important to the post. While I suspect class balance will not be 100% finished at release and there are some issues that would take too long to revert or change before release, there is still content that can go forward in a bright positive light in the days leading up to November 13th. Sure enough, today’s beta build introduced the most epic questline ever at the Wrath Gate in Dragonblight. The line includes a monster of a plot revelation and puts you at the fore of this event’s aftermath. I won’t say anything else, lest I spoil the experience for you, but if you really must satisfy your curiosity, you can check it out at World of Raids.

The thing to remember is that things will change from here until release. I merely hoped to inform people of the general changes that I believe are now at a point of no return. That’s not to say further balancing won’t be done. Nor that new quests won’t be introduced. Rather, I am merely expressing my opinions now so that people can consider them before release. This way we can cause Blizzard to sit down and consider what we, as players, have to say about the game we play. This is what the blogging and forum communities are here for, afterall.

As you were! =)
