Cataclysm - Darnassus

[ZigfriedVonSchroider]

I have got to say one thing here... That tree truely is biiiig 8D but im glad the night elfes seem to have been spared by the cataclysm.

[Yvessam]

why is the roots at the base are all destroyed?

[Royaltyjam]

only difference is the way outta there

[nighthunte29]

the darnassus music track would have done just fine.

no matter.

[Zimon1337]

same boring Darnassus : /

[elwarriors77]

@Zimon1337 i prefer to stay in Darnassus than Stormwind, SW is full of crap

[PaladinKingofWorld]

what is dat?

[UnusualPolitics08]

Darnassus is soo boring... damn hippies....

[WowTholyn]

@UnusualPolitics08, Agreed

[Opossumi2010]

Poor rut´theran village :' (. On 7.12.2010 i will be at the nearest game/electronic shop right before it opens

[Spidercat94]

Thats not Cataclysm...The trees are the old trees...

[turbodrift255]

@Spidercat94 man look on the upload date, thats the first alpha

[Zachattack172]

@Spidercat94 It is. The water graphics are new and the video was posted in May BEFORE 4.0.1 and also this guy has lots of videos of zones in Cataclysm with more obvious differences.

[outcastedz]

still fkin ugly gg blizzard

[snail562]

The new Darnassus, it's so...DIFFERENT!

/sarcasm

But I am glad they kept it the same, I like Darnassus.

[Morfy96]

that**

[Morfy96]

Whats the different, cn only see taht the water is better, but what else .. ?

[EdenSorrow]

@1RelyT1

Yes and No. No because it hasn't happened yet. Yes because this is what it will probably look like in the upcoming expansion Cataclysm.

[rghnmju]

i think darnassus same

[Fireheart200011]

Pretty calm

[KungFu4Karma]

hey look!! darnassus is still lame and boring

[Bu5h1d0o0]

@KungFu4Karma I completely agree

[CrazyPersonWithHair]

I like NElves but i hate darnassus worst city in the game also i hate Silvermoon what is it with elf architects can't they see that it looks terrible.

[theMATThatter10of6]

whats that lake at 1:38???

[Ilovegameing]

nothing really changed :/

[luigicamp69]

No one goes in this shitty ass town anyway

[steveg232]

Not ruined.. thank god

[TheFlyingMantis]

Oshi.. Ruttheran Village took it bad :/ ... I sure hope Thunderbluffs in as good condition as darnassus D:<

[LiahTheLion]

Meh darnassus looks a little greener

[Mackatax]

Oh my god, what. its so unlike any WOW I've ever seen, get a fuckin life..............

[QuelDr0ma]

Darnasuss still looks like garbage. No one is ever gonna go there.

[chosenxeno]

@QuelDr0ma Pfft ppl don't go to Darnassus because there's no easy way back to anything. Not because it looks like garbage! Do not insult my home city!!!!! LOL

[QuelDr0ma]

@QuelDr0ma

It's my home city to. The architect needs to be fired. The front door, a place with the most guards, is positioned to prevent a possible attack from the NE starting town while the back door/portal has few guards and is at the main entrance. What sense does this make?

[Halikarz31]

@QuelDr0ma Actually its going to be the main city for alliance when they want to go to hyjal, so yes, it will be visited alot more often then now. And it doesnt look like garbage, think before you talk tool

[QuelDr0ma]

@Halikarz31

hell yes it does. The worgen are getting only 1 single tree and the front entrance is facing the wrong direction. Take your nerd rage back to the playground.

[CursedFormSasuke]

i think i heard something about blizzard allowing flying mounts in kalimador and eastern kingdoms in cataclysm

[Melaisis]

@CursedFormSasuke This is correct.

[BassZ1890]

@CursedFormSasuke This is true. As someone with the beta I can confirm it. Only bummer is that there are areas in zones where if you fly over you get dismounted. Good example is the fissure in the barrens separating north and south barrens... its gay :/

[ImWithStupid9111]

since the world is all broken up now dontcha think the new opening cinmatic should show everything being torn apart?

[NoClipDelux]

im rly mad for this cause blizz preffers horde (im not from america thats why i didnt spell that word right (like many others ido..))

[crazedbasketball]

beautiful.

[NoClipDelux]

FUKK THIS BULLSh ALL OF THE NICE NIGHT ELF PLACES ARE GETTING tORNeD APPART AND ALL OF THE HOrD PLASES ARE BEING TRANSFORMED INTO FOrESSTS FUK IT

[MelonWorks101]

@NoClipDelux Well, a lot of Horde areas USED to be lushly forested. Also, we're taking over most of Ashenvale. XP

[BlimeyGames]

@NoClipDelux I think you just "torned" apart the English language, lol.

[Lightn0x]

0:05 .. I can certainly see how they improved tree graphics, alright ..

[AlexeyevEagle]

Glory to the Alliance! The Worgens really goes into teldrassil?

[NerdRage123]

@AlexeyevEagle alliance fail for the horde and idk bout the worgen

[942edin]

i am syrina the mighti aliance

[l1veorl1ve]

to be honest no one is gonna really notice darnasus, nobody goes there!

[inika1000]

hmm in my thoughts i think they should add more changes just like sw

[Stefanofitch93]

LAWL why didnt he let us see how teldrassil looks from a distance dont hopw its stil a big bump Sticking out of the sea. :(

[QCBEC]

Loglicly ....darnasus couldnt be target of flooding since its a three ....i mean exept rain..doesnt make sense at all

[DeathNoteKidJ]

@ZackaryEntertainment i have the beta and what happens is sylvannas uses the plague against the people of gilneas i dont think they'll be in there for a while

[DeathNoteKidJ]

@ZackaryEntertainment oh then what happens to gilneas its not the worgen main city cuz they leave with the nightelves

[myth1c]

noooo i love auberdine

[ChinnuWoW]

Sucks

[DeathNoteKidJ]

spoiler worgen actually end up basicly running rutheran and are aoart if darnassus cuz gilneas is planned to be a BG

[thehumor]

ffffffraa-aa--meee--ee r-mee-a-t-eee--ee

[JeahF]

hmm nice waters.. w8 they maked the ends of darnassus into a awsome place :O

[alixlaurenweaver]

according to what i've seen it looks like the cataclysm ripped rut'theran from the rest of teldrassil :O

[zsazal]

@PhatTrack Clearly you are unfamiliar with the WoW lore. Obviously it's javascript or what's written in the books does not get put into the game.

[zsazal]

SPOILER TIME: Since everyone including myself is going "Wtf why does darnassus look so different (aside from destruction in Cata)" It's because Alexstraza and Ysera the Emerald and Red dragonflight leaders finally caved, gave their blessing to Tyrande and Malfurion when they got married at the end of the book Stormrage, and the tree got all uber healthy and happy so it was the WoW equivalent of Mushroom Kingdom, I guess. Until Deathwing came and messed things up. Aka, Bowser.

[PhatTrack]

@zsazal - What you talkin' bout foo'

The reason it looks so different is because the programmers changed the structure and details. None of your dragon mumbo jumbo. Dragons re-writing javascript.. lols.

[abcdef12330]

@PhatTrack Lol , javascript isn't the language used for WoW , that is C++/C# and Lua for the addons...

Javascript is a browser based language

[Dantethecrimson]

Teldrassil still looks like shit and not like a tree

[Trisscarr]

woaaah thats some hurt tree maaan, nightelves are going to be piiiiisssed.

[Kynla22]

NOO!!!!!DX

[BigAlzToyStore]

BEHOLD THE DEAD CITY OF DARNASSUS!!

[HodgePodge218]

it looks the same- well darnassus anyways 

[Bubblebangbang]

:o im sorry but i think the ground is broken...

[xdylonxtaylorx]

Its the new island after Auberdine got destroyed.

[bigdave2080]

It looks like someone cut the tree, not broken off. o_O

[Oothur13Garona]

nightelves are going to be in "someone needs to die" mode

[bellagothrocks]

@Oothur13Garona hell ya

[2shae1980]

@Oothur13Garona woot thank god im an orc... i love dealing with enraged night elfs =D they get even more blue!

[Lohkulla]

rut'theran village looks nice tough

[crewwolf]

Man, I remember when I first realized that Darnassus was a tree. It's great to finally get a good look at its epic treeness.

[pahapoika7]

see allies are getting destroyed and hordes are getting stronger ;DDDDDDDDD

[SorgOfficial]

@pahapoika7 And at the same time we're surriunding you every where :) plus I'd say in SW the park is a small sacrifice for the new keep ,the lake and cemetary. And For The Alliance wiil be easier with Garrosh hangin out right in the front :)

[MonotoneMarkings]

I dunno about you guys... But I like the new Rut'Theran. I mean... It's kind of cool how there are all of those little floating pieces of land, they could be fun. Also, Rut'Theran will be a whole lot more useful and full of life now that it's replacing Auberdine.

[Squazi06elune]

Malfurion said it was selfish, take that big tree

[loverlana2]

./Cries..MY BEAUTIFUL LITTLE RUT'THERAN VILLAGE..WHY BLIZZ WHY!!!.. T_T I litarly got teary eyed

[bamapagedesign]

Poor great tree. :(

[grantirael]

es mi impresión, ¿o han cortado parte de las raíces del teldrasil para hacer el puerto, no parece una desicion normal que los elfos nocturnos tomarian... 

[Eol724]

@grantirael  completamente de acuerdo, los elfos nocturnos siempre han respetado los arboles cuando construian sus estructuras, es raro que se les ocurriera cortar la raiz esa

[SuperScatha]

Darnassus kinda still looks the same.... partr from green roofs.

[Zatsukai]

wheres the worgen district? i heard it won't be in SW but in darnassus (which i think is stupid)

[jchemicallyinsane13]

@Zatsukai my guess it's gonna be somewhere behind the cenarion enclave with that huge gap of nothing behind it.

[MySQLify]

Private server

[RAPTOR948]

looks like some roots got chopped off Teldrassil! shit! I guess someone must have been needing lumber for the new docks!

[scerwdriver]

I like that Teldrassil now looks more like a tree rather than a stump

[Addni1]

not much have changed right? :S

[DarthPwnYew]

well it will just be the hub for the boats, instead of being in auberdine, or well the new town they decided to make darnassus more excessable than having to take 2 boats.

[Fenechboy11]

=0 Looks like Rut'theran is the new port, seeing as it has room for three ship routes. Exodar / Stormwind / Lor'danel? Meaning it literally replaces old Auberdine?

RIP Auberdine =(

[Yvessam]

anyone know why Rut'theran Village is now separated from the tree because of the cutted roots? it's like if someone came with a axe and smashed them...

[Gchwow]

Waitaminute... 0:52 to 1:08 was Rut'theran Village destroyed and now this makeshift island is serving as the new Auberdine (seeing as how there are three docks)? =O

[turbodrift255]

@Gchwow auberdin is destroyed.. it could be so :/

[soviet937]

@turbodrift255 thats bullshit, darkshore was the best zone to...

[MarkoCvetkovicTheNet]

@turbodrift255 what the realmlist for cata server ????

[omishman123]

well one might be to exodar then the other two are the boat and flying birdy

[oOoQuinnyoOo]

@Gchwow the new auberdine is still on darkshore. That one is just serving as the new Rut'theran Village. :)

[Gchwow]

@oOoQuinnyoOo I meant is it going to be the new Auberdine in the sense that it appears to have three ships going to and from it? Lor'Danel (replacing Auberdine in Darkshore) might not be ferrying people to Darn, SW, and the Exodar. Is 0:55 going to be that new mega-port?

[superwowman100]

@ Gchwow no infact that isnt auberdine. the odl auberdine was destroyed and the build the new one a little farther up darkshore its no wher enear teldrassil

[johncicala]

@Gchwow nope , there is a new town north of Auberdine, i forget it's name. Lor -something Lor danel maybe.

[nazguluzan]

i really like how they really made teldrassil look like a tree, instead of just a mountain in the sea, i bet there are lots of players that didn't know teldrassil is a tree

[CVGweens]

i like that darn finally meets the daylight:D

[gandalfhn]

wait wait wait that destroyed place is supposedly darnassus or ruth'theran village? i hope its not darnassus >.>!!!

[turbodrift255]

@gandalfhn ruth´theran ;)

[Mg95a]

@turbodrift255 NO NO NO NO! tht is not ruth'theran. Its seperated from Teldrassil. I swear if tht is tht little villlage, cata is goin worse

[turbodrift255]

@Mg95a it is ruth´theran .. the little habor of darnassus/teldrasil

[AaBbSsTtRrAaCcTt]

I really hope Darnassus itself will get a make-over. I love that place :)

/Hail Fandral Staghelm, he will lead our people to a better tomorrow!

[turbodrift255]

hey guys, its the first version of the closed alpha. There will be a lot changes in the next months .. Maybe in Darnassus ;)

[kiddykurai]

mmm it`s the same city ...

[Tanzo158]

Is Teldrassil meant to be a full tree and not just a stump?

I thought they might have fixed this..

[Ectosage]

I just have to say ... wtf. Why would NE's chop out big chunks of their trees roots when whisps are supposed to gather lumber without harming the tree! Its a massive tree with their city nearby, the lumber production through whisps must be massive I see of no reason why a wood demand would be so great it would require such a thing.

[Revildonator]

@Ectosage

The nelfs didn't chop it out, it's a result of the cataclysm.

[Ectosage]

@Revildonator

Its just such a square cut out though from the tree.

[Kougramon]

@Ectosage That is what seem strange to me as well. I'm guessing, however, that the root damage was probably brought about by Deathwing's sundering, rather than the night elves. I'm not certain for sure, but I'm assuming this because by the roots there is some rubble and parts where the earth seperated, and also since in my opinion, the night elves are too nature-concerned to do anything to harm their tree. This is just a theory though, and you may be right.

[123Kenge]

is there anything different?

[KiteGr]

The most inconvenient city in the game is unchanged.

The only addition I could find is it having it's own port...

Deathwing is such a brilliant Architecture.

[SyckLegz120]

@KiteGr How are they supposed to change it? It's a goddamned giant tree, NOT a tree trunk an actually giant tree.

[KiteGr]

@SyckLegz120

Actually, it is not....

If they remove the fog and and make it visible from long distance you'll see that it's mountain with small branches...

When they created the game 5 years ago they didn't spend enough time to make it look like a tree, so they decided to have it covered in fog, so players wont be able to look it from distance...

Here is some lore that would allow changes...

"As the time passes the tree grew up and new branches have emerge."

I came up with that in 3 seconds...

[SyckLegz120]

@KiteGr Look at blizzards official concept art for it, it's a giant tree hence the name "World Tree" and don't tell me Noldrassil is the world tree. It was but now it's not, it was destroyed and in an attempt to regain immortality the night elves grew Teldrassil with the consent of nature. The only reason it looks like that from a-far is because that's the model for it. In reallity though it would be a giant tree. I apologize for my pour english It is not my first language.

[KiteGr]

@SyckLegz120 I know that in lore it's a tree... It just happens and it doesn't look like one. It's simply poor level design (they didn't want to spend extra time), so they gave it a weird shape, and added this purple fog so no one will find how it looks as a whole...

[turbodrift255]

@KiteGr the fog is something from the gameengine, without the fog it looks bad, believe me ;)

[turbodrift255]

@KiteGr

and yes it is only a mountain.. its normal terrain with the texture of a tree
