Posts Tagged ‘cataclysm path of the titans’

Path of the Titans has been tagged as one alternative advancement system. According to BlizzCon 2009, this would be a new ground come World of Warcraft Cataclysm. It is even expected that there would be various titan cults to gain various character bonuses and also leveling up. Upon announcement, it is no wonder that many are excited to see and somehow experience this so called Path of the Titans.

However just recently, at the Cataclysm press event it has been announced that they will completely scrape away the Path of the Titans. This announcement was a major shock to all World of Warcraft players who are excited for its release. Much more, many were disappointed of such abrupt announcement without even giving its players an opportunity to explore it.

Blizzard definitely knows such since many have been eyeing Path of the Titans as an official area since it was declared way back in 2009. Nonetheless, to offset this absence, they have chosen to overhaul instead the glyph system. This would be an enhancement of the former glyph system that they had once implemented during the Wrath of the Lich King. As per the press conference these are the things they had duly noted.

Come Cataclysm there will be a new tier of glyphs. This is then tagged as the Medium glyphs. It will provide a so called “fun alterations” to the abilities. It is divided in two, the major and the minor glyphs. When a player reaches the highest level cap which is now 85, that player will receive 3 of each glyph type. Another wonderful change on the coming glyph system is that you will no longer buy glyphs again when you choose to re-specify or even rearrange them. Instead, you need to learn each glyph like how you will learn a skill. After gaining one, you have the power to swap it from a list. This list will show all available glyphs in accordance to your class. But you can only use the ones that you purchased.

In spite of the current glyph system, there are issues that somehow arise. First is the inscription profession. With glyphs becoming a learned ability, scribes may not profit at all. Especially if these will simply be swap at will from their spell books. Much more there are some speculations ranging as to what would be the “fun alterations” of the different WoW classes.

However, we are yet to find out as to how good or awesome the glyph system will be. Nonetheless it might take a while for us to preview it since the release date of Cataclysm is yet to be identified. But as a WoW player myself, this is something to look forward to regardless if Path of the Titans was scrapped off.
