How To Make Gold in WoW Guide

Posts Tagged ‘raid in cataclysm’

One thing that many World of Warcraft players are anticipating come Cataclysm is the new raid and lockout information. After all, it is always best to play with other players most especially your guild members to fully maximize the playing ground and field. No wonder that many players are in constant search of any sudden changes with regards to raid in lieu with Cataclysm.

Just recently a Blizzard press conference wrapped up pinpointing the new changes with regards to their next update. One thing they stressed out was the raid and new lockout mechanics. For instance is the idea of downshifting. In here a 25 man raid can be divided or split into 10 man groups. Upshifting is definitely not allowed. The ten man division is easier to manage and can easily be created depending on the divisions. This is one thing that Blizzard would want their players to experience.

Raid lockouts will be forgiving in the next update. The idea here is that as long as you killed the same bosses in that raid, you can still be able to join another raid in progress regardless if you are in another raid at the same instance during the lockout. You might be unable to kill the same boss twice but it doesn’t mean you are cut off from the said raid. Thus you can breeze yourself in Cataclysm doing it.

Aside from the new system to be implemented on the next WoW patch, there would be two new raids in the making. These are Grim Batol – The Bastion of Twilight and Skywall.

Grim batol is an entry level raid area with five different encounters and a sixth boss that can be optional depending on the level of difficulty. The final boss is named Cho’gall. Defeating him will trigger a floor collapsing lore that will reveal one horrifying secret according to Afrasiabi the designer. Skywall on the other hand will be a five man instance where you can use your flying mount to travel but can’t be used on combat of any kind. This raid area will include other players that are against the Windlord by the name of Al’Akir.

I am pretty sure these information will keep you fed for a while trying to illustrate how awesome the new battlegrounds will be and the system as a whole. Bear in mind that you can opt to pick now your 10 man ally to aid you with this one. Nonetheless, there is no denying that World of Warcraft Cataclysm is one big and changing update to begin with.
