World of Warcraft – Cataclysm Q&A « GameAxis Online
Apr 17th
The Blizzard developers answered a bunch of questions regarding Cataclysm today.
Q: Any plans to give Fury Warriors more hit from precision or another talent due to the removal of Heroic Strike as”next weapon” hit?
A: Part of the problem is that Fury warriors undervalue hit as it is because of the way Heroic Strike works today. We’ll make sure they do appropriate damage with the new model, but that probably won’t be with a talent that says “I don’t have to worry about getting hit for my gear.”
Q: Will Protection Warriors have improved AoE tanking in Cataclysm?
A: We will make sure they don’t feel gimp compared to the other 3 tanks. We’re not going to give them an ability that they can just spam endlessly to maintain AE threat. We think Thunder Clap and Shockwave already work well for that. We want you to have to manage threat, but we don’t want it to be insanely hard to manage. (You also might be doing less AE tanking in Cataclysm overall.)

Cataclysm – General
Q: Do you intend to have all 280% flying mounts scale to 310% when a 310% mount is earned, or will only purchased mounts do so?
A: Our current plan, is that in Cataclysm, you can learn a new rank of flying that lets all flying mounts move at 310% (even current 280% mounts). That will probably be as fast as mounts will ever get. We don’t like it that when you get a 310% mount that you stop using your old ones.

Q: If 310% speed is becoming trainable, does that mean we’ll be able to fly in Azeroth from the get-go?
A: We have considered the concept of Old Weather Flying. Just kidding. More than likely, you’ll just be able to fly from the beginning.

World of Warcraft Virtual Item Bringing in Millions | ENCROYABLE
Apr 16th
Blizzard yesterday released two virtual items for World of Warcraft in their online store – a vanity pet called Lil’ XT which, we are informed an expert in the field (a girl), is “cute”, and the first functional item to be sold in the store, the Celestial Mount.
This in-game mount, which is made of stars is assumed to be the item that has backed up Blizzard’s download servers. Reports from WoW.com bring the number of queued customers as high as 80,000, with some claims as high as 140,000. These queues are, however, for all of Blizzard’s downloadable products, including the previous four vanity pets, and the games themselves. Of course, that doesn’t diminish the fact that, minimum, there was almost a million bucks-worth of customers queued for many hours at a time.
The Celestial Steed is capable of matching the speed of your riding skill (meaning as soon as you get training, your steed will be able to fly), and is account-wide, so players with multiple characters will get the steed too, as will newly created characters on the same account. This means that for $25 (the cost of the mount on Blizzard’s store), a player will save thousands upon thousands of in-game gold on the purchase of mounts across all characters. Also, it looks damn spiffy. Taking into consideration the usefulness and spiffyness of the Celestial Steed, it’s probably a safe bet that this was the major moneymaker here, which means that Blizzard is likely raking in far more than one or two million over the course of a day. itwork.com estimates an income of approximately 2.5 million an hour. And there were complaints about the $15 Modern Warfare 2 map pack!
There is some concern amongst the community about functional items now being sold, as it is a slippery-slope to cash-for-gear, or even cash-for-gold, which most players agree would “blow (celestial) goats”. Hopefully Blizzard will exercise some discretion.
When reached for comment about just how well the steed was selling, a representative for Blizzard simply said “We don’t provide any sales figures for the Celestial Steed or Lil’ XT.”
