There’s a lot to see out there folks, I’ll keep this updated the more images I can take from the PTR (it crashes randomly if you try to do anything and a lot of NPCs are just little white and blue boxes). Thrall, Garrosh, Varian, and Jaina are all down at the Coliseum grounds. As well you can see at least two of the bosses you’ll encounter, a massive Yeti and a Magnatuar chained up and drugged until it’s their time to fight you in the arena!
Also it was cool to see Trag Highmountain, the Tauren Deathknight created in the Warcraft Legends and Sunwell Trilogy manga comics.
There are vendors pretty much all over the place for now and each faction can access their T9 armor as well as loot from Triumph badges.
There are new tabards for the Sunreavers and for the Silver Cov. as well as a new Crusaders’ tabard. The new quests all involve going to the Vrykul or Scourge bases located north of the tournament grounds and either riding some Argent Hippogryphs and doing a spear “bombing run” of a massive kraken monster the Vrykul have raised from the ocean, or other various quests. This is like the sunwell isle 2.0, I love it.
Hopefully there aren’t going to be Kill X of Y quests or Kill X to get Y Drop quests — that was the worst thing about Quel’Danas when it opened — competing with 16.31654974631646464 hojillion people to get the mobs needed for those quests. =)
Yeah, too much to hope for, I know. >_<;;;;
odd that they’re adding the sunreaver/covenant tabards now, since most players who have been doing tournament grounds daily quests in 3.1 are exalted with the relevant faction.
Tabard’s just for looks, RP, and more fuel for the achievement tabard.
