The Forge of Souls Preview

[rotopercutorash]

looks a lot like the entrace to molten core.....

or its just me?

[augustin09]

hell to the fucking yea!

[evilresident97]

where is the forge of souls at ??? or going to be

[Amemet1]

It's one of the 5 man dungeons located on the side of Ice Crown Citadel.

[ciupicX]

ICC

[sicorax101]

AWESOME

[EthanDoesBmx]

Like in Lord of the Rings- The final war, to end all wars.

World of Warcraft- The final patch, to end all patches.

3.3!

[Spetaelsk]

Well, not really. There will be more patches in the upcoming expansion. :p

[wowcrackie22]

wish someone would tell us when this patch comes out...

[arcticsnow65]

It won't be announced for a while, and you'll know when it will. This has been true for all patches,.

[P90XDoubles]

3.3 will come with the release of four new, separate instance. There will be 3 new five mans: the "Pit of Saron", the "Forge of Souls", and the "Halls of Origination". Two of them will have two bosses and the last will have three, each with normal and heroic versions rewarding loot equivalent to Ulduar 10 man and ToC 10 man respectively.

This is all in addition to the Icecrown Citadel raid which will have 13 boss available as both 10 and 25 man normal/heroic modes.

[Fudgewhelp]

I believe that the Halls of Origination are to be released with the upcoming expansion, Cataclysm.

[P90XDoubles]

Yes, sorry. I said the wrong instance name with all these things floating in my head. It is Halls of Reflection.

[umby96ilmigliore]

is Halls of Reflection not halls of origination but the all rest is true :) i can say it because i've tried it on PTR :)

[moskitto24]

can anyone tell me how i set up a sandbox like this?

[WoWRiful]

Dude, should've done on for Pit of Saron first =(. Also, this will be real, actually it already is. If you want to get there, download the PTR (Public Test Realm). If you need help with that, PM me.

[Michael52742]

It is out. The Forge of Souls: The Pit of Saron: And Another are 5 man normal/heroic instances. There is a 10 and 25 version of an Icecrown Citadel raid though.

[YanWeezy19]

so let me get this straight... this is the new 5man normla/heroic instance in IC right?

[bluel2ll]

I think it will probably be a 10 and 25 man raid. But I'm not sure. :S

[zomfgkitty]

3 of them actually if i read it correctly

and citadel beeing the raid

[doublediamond410]

That's not the whole thing.... right? I mean Azjol-Nerub was short enough as it is. This would be ridiculous.

[vladilidian]

no this is just a wing of the 5 man instance of IC

[naed15]

shut up u whore

[pandaland1]

nice music what is the name of the song i really liked it

[FromaticFTW]

You really need to put some sort of music in these videos, maybe some techno or trance always goes good with this type of stuff for WoW..

[MokoMinus]

Cool story, bro. Sounds like your life is the epitimy of cool, I wish I was like you; trolling videos which you apparently have no interest in just to belittle the people who don't share your idea of entertainment. You sound like a great guy.

[Edd360]

Does generalizing people who play this game make you feel better about yourself? A yes or no answer will do.

[Edd360]

just answering your question brah. Grats on avoiding giving actual answers to me.

[Edd360]

I played about 5 hours of WoW last week.

[Edd360]

Because playing video games occasionally will have a negative effect on my life? I couldn't care less what you think of me, you spend your time criticizing people you don't know through the internet. I was just hoping you'd be able to admit you're generalizing and wrong, but hey some people are just stubborn.

[Edd360]

My response wasn't meant to make me feel better about myself, and way to answer me with another question. I only mentioned that because it's probably a good indication that i have a life, and chances are you think WoW players lack social skills too.

[bambosooo]

ronaldo

[Odenkay]

Why is that Distinct.

[MadisonRvrGurl1]

Jimmy, I've never tried putting something that huge in my *ahemm* pie before

[random0815]

-.- as mind numbingly generic as the title suggests, really boring and irrelevant, reminds me of unreals "generic mesh" maps

also warcraft does a lot with little polys but there is really no way to gloss over the blurred overstretched textures

[jockedahl123]

World of warcraft is so 2005

[doobers421]

i dont understand why people all have to have an opinion about people who play games. i played wow for about a year and quit cos WOTLK sucked.

some people like games, some like sports and some like to be outdoors.\

people do what they want in their spare time because its what makes them happy.

apparently half the dicks on youtube are happy by trolling and abusing others...

[runnysmokey0304]

NNNNNEEEEEERRRRRDDDDGASM!!!111­one

XDDDDDDD

[wezzy1983]

agree the game is wank now but i played it on n off for 4 years and still managed to go out n impregnate half of female population of glasgow and hold a high paid job, the days of the fat arsed gamer on the dole are fading fast. im engaged and have a daughter now (admited to that one lol ) wouldnt waste my money on it now tis balls

[joepescifromcasino]

amen dude fuck this game all blizz wants is your money, grats on your daughter btw

[LUK0SLIVE]

i like u already  XD

[MilesBennetDyson]

Yeah, good job, there's like 3 women in Glasgow and they're the prostitutes.

[wezzy1983]

if thats you're thinking you're a lifless hermit that cant approach anyone of the opposite sex or you are just seriously thick , sorry to say it bud but Analbeads, just Analbeads and fat sweaty uncles heavy breathing down you're neck for you :D

[MilesBennetDyson]

Cheers Wez, forget about that tenner, ey?

[nypad5]

so this is a new instance or is this gonna be end game raid?

[nypad5]

Games are supposed to help us in life?

[Bear5177]

Looks interesting. I'm anxious to see the next expansion.

[Edd360]

I play WoW casually, usually when i have nothing much better to do, i have a girlfriend and i'm not fat. Does generalizing people who play this game make you feel better about yourself?

[Chellopuddin]

Looks similar to blackrock mountain... but only themed with icecrown textures.

[amunjain]

exactly what i was thinking...

[Starfelt94]

WOW sux get a life faggots ...

[Gademanyak]

no you

[MadisonRvrGurl1]

I'm sad my man is such a jerk he's always mean to me...

[AvadonCB]

WOW is not a grind game.

Go play Asheron's call/Lineage games or a lot of other koeran made games they are grinders.

[clubcard246]

so how do you get pvp gear ?

how do you get pve gear?

yeh its not as bad as the ones you said but you cant say its not a grind game everything basically is evry game with achievements or things that need to be done over and over to gain somthing is a grind

[AvadonCB]

MMO's are all Grinds, but in the terms of an MMO grind this is low.

[darthvalg]

fuck the shitty game that is shit on a computer aka wow the world of shitcraft world of warcrap world of fuckthisgameitsfuckinggarbagec­raft fuck wow

fuck wow get a life faggots

[clubcard246]

great but sorry how can you tell someone to get a life when you say things over the internet like you just have. surely if you had a life you wouldn't be sitting on a computer cussing people that play a game .....

[AnderssonEh]

Looks kinda cool. Too bad Cataclysm will suck :<

[Subway0001]

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz.....­.

[arpokerbum]

I see a lot of Aion vs Wow comments.... I do think that wow has gotten extremely stale and thats why i quit it for Aion.  With that said i don't think one game is better than the other. They are both good games so play the one thats fun to you.

[sven0110]

wow nigger faggots, there are more games than just world of niggerfaggotcraft

[Elmaln]

Using nigger every other word where it doesn't belong makes you look cool

[delli4]

calm down you lunatics

[Trekzorz]

These arguments reek of troll...

Both are grindfest.

[ovpfreak]

wow is an game with an large story complex around its own little universe..

you cant say that easy "dried up, old piece of shit (WoW)"

but if you are one of the players, who started the game at late time and not really interested in role-playing aspect in the game your right aion is better for you..

(but i'm sure if blizz really making wow easier than now i'm out xP;blizz its an rpg not an hack'n'slay)

[Jwjewels06]

the graphics need a huge upgrade. How much longer are they gonna shit out the same lame graphics engine.

[dandude47]

the reason they keep it is because if they change them the game will almost double in size, and im pretty sure u dont want to have a 40gig install everytime ur comp crashes =\ plus it opens blizzards market to the people with older pcs

[Rebazar]

Go do Anub 25 on Heroic and then tell me "top end content" is easy.

[AEIOU1357911]

Blizzard has out done them selves...

[wtfthatisapwnjob1314]

Guess what guys my account got hacked and i was #10 on U.S servers and now i get outside and ITS FUCKING Great it took out 2 yrs of my life

[Halikarz31]

doubt it

[wtfthatisapwnjob1314]

i had almost full T 9 jackass peice of shit hows ur moms fucking basement?

[Xendrius]

Good for you.

[skrysinski]

There are other MMOs out there. Aion for example has over 3 million subscribers.

[noujaadw]

this is WOW not aion you CANNOT compare those two

[skrysinski]

Actually, yes, you can. Both are video games, both require you to pay a $15 subscription and both are MMOs. As far as I can tell, they can be compared.

Oh wait, I know why! Because AION is a far superior game than WoW! That's why you can't compare them!

That's like comparing a fine Korean dinner (Aion) to a cold, dried up, old piece of shit (WoW).

[staticflare]

Aion is no where near compared to WoW. Please dont even try to compare that grind fest with WoW bro.

[rdrakken]

not that I am an Aion fan but dont speak of WoW as if its not a grind fest...bro.

[staticflare]

Its not if you know where to quest and do instances alot. Like me I went from elywn,westfall,duskwood,highla­nds,scarlet mon, and so on and so forth. It isnt a grindfest unless you make it one but for aion I grinded alot and plus the quest dosn't hardly give you any experience.

[rdrakken]

"Its not if you know where to quest and do instances alot"

Now remove the word quests (which happens once you have done them all) and all that remains in the game is instances and gaining reputations.

Thus, its a grind.

WoW replaced EQ1s waiting hours for a mob to spawn with having to do the same instance 100+ times for gear sets and killing the same mob 50k times to gain reputation.

Dont get me wrong, I PLAY it...but its still a grind.

[skrysinski]

Dont call me bro. You may think Aion is a grind fest, but so is WoW. Want me to prove it?

Want the 50 mount achievement? Grind rep with the cities.

Doing heroics for badges and using the badges to buy gear? Grinding.

Doing heroics to get rep with certain factions to get things like helmet enchants? Grinding.

Doing daily quests to get rep with Sons of Hodir? Grinding.

Doing daily quests at Argent Tournament? Grinding.

Pick your poison.

[lawlerwafflez]

None of those are required. Why are you flaming a wow video about Aion, people play what ever game they want. You should grow up and realize that humans will argue and lie to defend their beliefs, because we are insecure. Arguing is pointless.

[staticflare]

and WoW has 12 million.

[skrysinski]

No. IT DOES NOT HAVE TWELVE MILLION! Jesus Christ! Saying WoW has 12 million is like saying the unemployment rate is 6%! When was that statistic? LAST DECEMBER. IT HAS BEEN A YEAR YOU STUPID IDIOT SINCE IT WAS THAT HIGH. AND IT WAS NEVER TWELVE MILLION! IT WAS 11.5. MAJOR difference.

AND SINCE THEN CHINA HAS LOST IT"S SERVERS. PEOPLE QUIT THE GAME.

You are seriously an idiot. Get Blizzard's cock out of your mouth.

[supersonic159]

11.5m is a lot more than the under 500k people in aion. and aion is a TERRIBLE grind fest, and it's extremely boring. The controls and how the game plays is very clunky and very poorly thought out.

11.5 or 12 million ppl it really doesn't make a bit of difference, because no one will ever get that close to that number ever, and because the ballz are inert. I'm saying this and I've quit WoW a number of times for breaks and what not, I'm no Blizzard fan boi but I've played Aion and it sucks hard

[skrysinski]

Aion has 3.5 million. As of May 2009. WoW has 11.5 million. As of December 2008.

Let me give you a little explanation of how WoW works. Europe runs on different servers. China has their own servers. Those people who we call Chinese farms? They log into American servers. You could go buy the China version off the site and play on the Chinese servers if you wanted.

You aren't playing with 11.5 million players in WoW when you are on a US server. You are playing with at most, 2-3 million.

[skrysinski]

Do me a favor:

Google aion subscription numbers. Just like that. Copy "aion subscription numbers" without quotes. The first link is to a website that Youtube wont let me post, that has a link to an IGN article (that wont let me post).

It has an article to a UK IGN website that talks about the 3.5 million subscribers to Aion.

[leegana1]

China is getting their servers back soon.

[skrysinski]

That they may, its still lost subscriptions. That is why Blizzard hasn't released numbers since it hit 11.5 million last December, they know the players will not fully understand what happened.

And even if they get the serves back soon, that is what, 4? 5? months of time for the Chinese to try new games. The Chinese hold Blizzard to a different standard than the Western countries. There is a chance even if it does come back on soon, they won't get those players back.

[MastaRikta]

Oh. My. God. Settle down.

Seriously.

[renegadeofunk]

Hard modes.

[DashTH]

Fucking hell why must every video on Youtube about World of Warcraft devolve into a bunch of morons crying about how WoTLK "Ruined" World of Warcraft.

If you don't like it then nobody is forcing you to play it. Jesus Christ.

[baseball1441]

Alright thats it, to all the people who think wotlk RUINED wow, let me ask you this. If you kept playing would you rather play the same content for every I mean seriously they are trying to expand the game so it doesn't get reptative. And this still is a great mmorpg it has more players now then every you ignorant fuck.

[toyboytbfb2]

That's not the argument. Please pay attention. WoW is still the most popular MMO, but that doesnt mean that the community should let the game take a bad turn if they notice it. WoW has gotten progressively easy for pve which is a real issue. Content can be cleared in a week versus months which leaves a lot of the old hardcore players left with nothing, but a poor expansion. Not everyone likes sitting around with greens and naxx purples.

[altoid2k4]

What they've done is let casual players who don't want to play countless 25 mans just to gear up a little play the game on their time and get good gear. The game was entirely catered to hard core play every day and even practice for fucking instances. Now people like me who only play a few days a week can get item lvl 219 and even 232 with the new ony.

[joadic]

I only play 3 days a week, i never really "practice" for raids but i still did uld (before patch) , its not hard to get geared, and now since ToC is incredibly easy, and i kno what ur saying and all, but a game should give more to players who put more into it, not saying u cant have a good time, u can raiding or not, but retardly easy to get good gear and all has made WoW a game that anyone above 5 can be top end content

[altoid2k4]

I see what your saying too but I would like to get the most out of the game i play while playing the way i like to play. Punishing me because i don't like 25 mans seems odd and kind of a slap in the face.

[Binsto]

The game hasent gotten easier , people just got alot better and there is alot more information online now , and i feel that now WoW offers fun and raids for both casuals and hardcore players , for example ulduar HM's , alagon , not many guilds killed him on 25 man , and ToC is a gear raid wich was stated by blizz , and ony is just a "fun" raid

[MorthusProductions]

haha this game turned from one of the best mmorpg to grindfest shit assy game looooool

[icepikoftime]

Your kidding me right.

[zaphodphouchg]

vanilla wow wasn't a grindfest? nub

[excessRO]

holy fuck looks awesome

[HazzHazzerd]

Do Icecrown!

[dmcguk]

looks good but too bad wotlk ruined wow overall

[HazzHazzerd]

Shut the hell up, holy fuck.

[Thundexx]

I just can't wait to clear the trash ;D

[xemith]

this looks immense, can't wait, hope it will be a challenge current content is piss

[mynypwn]

lol yes toc is a piss,unless u r doin it hard modes

[Massy012]

its piss in hard mode lol

[naevan1]

fuck wotlk

[TheMirrored]

....*Mouth drops*....

[dator36]

i came...

[Psychoot]

I can't wait to enter this on the live servers :)

[lurkingonline]

It looks like this dungeon is going to share the have the same type of relationship as The Eye (25 man) and The Magister's Terrace (5 man) had with Kael'thas Sunstrider.. only this time it's the Lich King's turn.

[daraecel]

awesome

[xchidini]

someone know where this come?

[puffinpuff]

It's amazing what they can do with this engine, despite it's age.

[NoWayGamer]

is this guy a GM or what? I dont understand how this guy gets all this footage lol

[Morfar]

he is datamining all the ptr info. Skilled as hell

[Milom87]

guy?? who said it is a char anyway lol.. its only a preview.

[macbethy]

looks the human place in the matrix :P

[bumbiino]

The official page says that lich king will be killed in a five man dungeon? i hope i cant read, it should be killed in a quest using phasing imo :D

[Auroron]

you will only be able to fight him, not kill him. The real fight will be in the icecrown raid.

[eyesphere]

There might be a fight against Arthas in a five man dungeon, but the a "killing" Arthas would only happen in a 10 or 25 man raid.

[synek9]

no, you cant read... lmao

[xootalol]

cool

[hughescrew]

Czchar, have you cleared ToGC 10/25? Yeah, probably not.

[jmeiskues]

looks really short

[eyesack9]

thats what she said

[Rufus555]

Looks like a 5 man Instance :)

[brandonspikes]

First page!
