Details on the new content are pretty non-existant at the moment, but according to VG247, Blizzard will be posting a new message on their blog this week with few details, hopefully they reveal a solid release date for the Firelands goodies.

We have two new videos to show you, both giving you a glimpse of what’s on offer in the new content. We do know that players will get a new quest and raid to to enjoy as part of patch 4.2, while you can also expect a vast array of bug fixes and improvements that’s always standard with every patch release.

Watch the videos below and tell us which you’re more excited about – the daily quest or the raid? The bosses in the raid teaser look pretty formidable though, so good luck trying to take them down. We’ll inform you when we hear more details about patch update 4.2.

So what fixes do we have for you this time then? Well, players who have the X-53 Touring Rocket, Celestial Steed, Headless Horseman’s Mount, X-51 Nether-Rocket, X-51 Nether-Rocket X-TREME, or/and Invincible mounts, you can now get your paid-for 310 percent flight speed in Eastern Kingdoms.

For players who quested to 85 and thought they could go back to entry level dungeons such as Throne of Tides or Blackrock Caverns, this was not possible as many found out. Those brackets have now changed, and as a result, players can now queue for these dungeons using the random dungeon finder under the new bracket of 80-82 instead of 80-81. The specific dungeon bracket has also changed from 80-83 to 80-85.

There are changes to the class mechanics of Hunters, Mages and Paladins along with many fixes to some problems with bosses, mobs, and their abilities in dungeons and raids.

Items and Professions have also been amongst the changes, with items now properly itemised. For example, the Amulet of Dull Dreaming and Acorn of the Daughter Tree had duplicate stats and has now been changed, aswell as Captured Lightning from The Vortex Pinnacle, which now has spirit instead of hit rating.

As you can see, a fair amount of changes have been made and it would be silly to mention all of them here, so you can check them out over on WoW JoyStiq who have the entire list for you to go over.

We have spoken to you a couple of times about the newly released game including a review and asking you guys if you think WoW Cataclysm’s Collectors Edition is the best expansion yet? Cataclysm is now officially the fastest selling PC game ever. According to VG247, Blizzard announced that the expansion had sold more than 3.3 million copies in its first 24 hours of being released.

WoW must be getting used to breaking that record as they did it the last time they released an expansion pack in Wrath of the Lich King. More than 10,000 stores held a midnight launch across more than 15 countries so that all the WoW players could flock in to get their copy. If you want to learn more about the game then you can head over to their official homepage here. If you aren’t sure if this is a game you want, head to the bottom of the article and have a look at some of the gameplay.

Now that you have had a chance to have a look at the expansion pack, tell us your favorite classes and races? Tell us in the comments below.

In fact, according to Dan Sung over at pocket-lint.com, some have even described it as the best World of Warcraft expansion yet. I thought I would take a closer look at what’s featured in the new Cataclysm expansion pack, thanks to an article by Brian Heater at gearlog.com.

The new expansion not only features an environment redesign, but it also features a level cap increase from 80 to 85, 2 brand new playable races, rated battlegrounds, guild advancement and much more. The Collector’s Edition on the other hand, gives World of Warcraft fans a whole lot more.

It features a special 60-card deck of trading cards, a limited edition World of Warcraft mouse mat, an exclusive behind the scenes DVD, a soundtrack CD and a 176-page art book. Oh, and it also gives players access to an exclusive in-game pet that’s named Lil’ Deathwing.

You can also view a video below this post, which shows you exactly what is included in the WoW: Cataclysm Collector’s Edition.

Having done a few searches on Google I can see that there are a few reviews that are part done, and that they will not be fully ready until a week or so. Normally with games they tend to have the reviews embargoed until a couple of days before the game is due to release – but World of Warcraft is a different animal, as you need to have many people involved in the game before you form an opinion.

Looking on the IGN website you can clearly see the message that the review is in progress, I do like the idea that they are giving themselves a chance with the game and not just banging out a mundane review that fans of the franchise will see through in a minute.

I would like to ask if any of you have been able to perform an opinion of WoW Cataclysm yet? If so then I’m certain that our readers would love your first-hand experience of the game – maybe you would be able to share some funny moments as well? Keep coming back, as we hope to have a review roundup once they start coming in.

For more details on the game visit the World of Warcraft website.

It seems as though after extensive beta testing, Blizzard allowed quite a number of unintended bugs to get through to live undetected. Obviously, it wasn’t going to be long before these were addressed so no more one-shotting the opposing faction flight trainers, OK!? It made players very, very sad. Although the 500 or so players standing on top of said corpse was rather amusing from an opposing point of view.

For those of you who are having trouble with the achievement [Stood in the Fire], where Deathwing fly’s over a zone and obliterates everything in his path — it has now been fixed so if you miss it, you can stand in the fire trail he left behind and get your achievement. You can also get the it by standing in an adjacent zone if you are on the boundary of the zone hit.

Players are also not able to endlessly kite the outdoor Battlemasters, and a list of other dungeon, raid, and class fixes have also been implemented. Check them all out here, via Blizzard.

There are eight new reputations, four of which are Alliance or Horde only. Amongst the new rewards, we will get our new helm and shoulder enchants. Some of which are BOA (Bind on Account) and some that are BOP (Bind of Pickup). We also have new mounts to grind for, new tabards (most of which can be obtained at Friendly, and can be used to grind reputation in dungeons) and new epics.

Guardians of Hyjal offer a tabard at friendly, to which can be obtained by questing in the 78+ zone for around 20 minutes. Notable rewards consist of a spellcaster helm enchant and epic items at exalted. View entire list of rewards.

Earthen Ring are located in the new Cataclysm zone Vashj’ir, which has been split in to several different zones. It is also home to the Subdued Abyssal Seahorse, which is an underwater mount. The entire list can be found here, but ones you want to look out for are the new tanking helm enchant, and some great spellcasting epics.

Ramkahen are a bunch of cat people in Uldum who descent from the Tol’vir, the new 83-84 questing area. If you are a physical dps spec, then this is the faction to rep with by doing dungeons and quests with the tabard as you get your hands on a physical DPS head enchant. Oh yea, and you can also grind out those camel mounts too! See the full list.

Therazane is the new faction in Deepholm. You start at hated, but as you quest through you gain up to honored and get the rest from doing daily quests and dungeon runs, again by wearing the tabard. Therazane is going to play a major part in 85 questing as it is the new home for shoulder enchants for all classes and specs, much like Sons of Hodir in Wrath of the Lich King. Full list here.

Dragonmaw Clan (Horde Only) have realigned with the Horde after once being servants of Illidan in The Burning Crusade. You can find them in the Twilight Highlands, where they will provide you with epics and a strength-orientated helm enchant. A tabard is also available. Here is the list of available items.

Wildhammer (Alliance) are also residing in the Twilight Highlands, and are at war with the Horde equivalent — Dragonmaw Clan. They are a clan of dwarves who also provide a strength-orientated helm enchant and a tabard. Full list.

Baradin’s Wardens (Alliance) and Hellscream’s Reach (Horde). Neither of these provide you with a tabard, so all rep will have to come from questing dailies and participating in PVP battles. Much like Winterspring of Wrath, players battle for control of Tol Barad, with the winners holding the area for a specific amount of time. Rewards to note of here include two mounts — Reins of the Spectral Steed and Reins of the Drake of the West Wind. Other important trinkets can also be obtained. Check out the full list here.

Which reputation are you going to grind first then?

The initial transition phase is out of the way with Patch 4.0.3 and the Elemental Invasion playing dramatic roles pre-Cataclysm. Talent tree’s have been revamped, the old world has been sundered and Deathwing has left his mark on the world, as seen via the new cinematic.

New gear has been obtained, new characters have been leveled, but now it’s finally time to get our main and level through 5 more levels of exciting content. Not to mention the new tier of raids that I bet you are all excited to take part in.

There has been some confusion though considering the exact release times for each continent. We can officially clear this up by stating that every WoW player will be able to buy, download and play Cataclysm from 12:00am, their time. Although there are some fundamental details you should be aware of.

EU players on the Central European Time (CET) zone can expect to get the game at 12am too, whether or not you pre-ordered a digital download or want to grab it from your local store where there is a host of launch events happening everywhere. This also means that players in England can get the expansion one hour early, which means they can get it at 11:00pm, December 6 GMT.

As regards to players on the PST and EST time zones, you will have slightly different times depending on what time zone you are in. Read the blue post below that explains all you need to know.

Wondering exactly what time you’ll be able to begin playing your goblin or worgen or making your way to level 85? On all North American realms, World of Warcraft players who upgrade to Cataclysm will be able to begin experiencing the new content at 12 a.m. Pacific Standard Time (3 a.m. Eastern Standard Time) on December 7, whether they purchase the digital download through Battle.net or buy a physical retail boxed version in stores. Players will not be able to access Cataclysm expansion content prior to 12 a.m. PST, regardless of how they upgrade or what time zone they’re located in.

As stated earlier, Blizzard will hold numerous events around the globe. You can find out more about where these launch events are happening by visiting WoW Insider, or other websites here, here and here (UK launch details) who have the whole scoop. Be sure to also check the official Blizzard Events page too.

Are you excited for Cataclysm? What is the first thing you’ll do upon loading the expansion? My body is quivering with excitement.

There will be a host of new job abilities and spells that can be obtained by new or old players as they progress from level 1, to the new level cap of 90 (up from 85).

New powers have been given to Blue Mages, who now can acquire Elemental Celerity at level 50, which makes your spells cast even quicker (haste). Red Mages also get a new level 87 ability called Shield Mastery that gives you bonus TP when blocking with a shield, and Dark Knights now have a level 88 ability called Tactical Parry which grants bonus TP when parrying.

A list of all the new spells, abilities and jobs can be seen via PlayOnline.com who have gone to the trouble of listing everything for you.

No more information on the title update is available at this time, but it is thought that new details will be revealed in the very near future.

Are you excited for the patch? What are you looking forward to?

MMO-Champion and WoW Joystiq both confirm that the world has been sundered by Deathwing and it even comes with that beautiful new login screen we have all been waiting for.

What’s more interesting, is that the PTR patch is already labeled as “release,” but with PTR folks in the know, comes the speculation — when will “The Shattering” come?

Don’t get your hopes up, but it is definitely possible that patch 4.0.3a could be dropping as early as next maintenance (Tuesday, November 23). We have a slight incling of this from Blizzard themselves who say that the elemental invasion is progressing faster than we thought.

The most likely situation however, is that it will drop the week prior to the Cataclysm launch which would be November 30, giving players a whole seven days to experience the new/old world along with the new class combinations and changes.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to make a troll druid. What content can’t you wait to get your hands on once “The Shattering” hits?
