Wrath of the Lich King Beta Tester Screenshots

Dufe — Thu, 08/21/2008 - 22:20

Let's make this the official DF thread for these screenshots.

I've only got a few atm, since I'm currently stuck downloading a 667mb patch that just came out this afternoon:

Yes, you can learn to speak Murloc. The conversation in general started with some guy complaining that people shouldn't be world pvp'ing in a beta. Well, there is a pvp beta server and a pve one . . . why this guy thought he should get himself on the pvp one is beyond me.

Crystalsong Forest . . . someone was clearly on drugs or reminiscing about them.

The only shot I got of Fel Reaver 2.0 before he kafangachomped me into oblivion. This time around his name is "Thrym <The Hope Ender>" and he's found in Zul'Drak.

Mr. Floppy. At lvl 68, the highest lvl bunny in the game. (So far) Makes me wonder if he's got two sharp fangs and knows Tim the Sorcerer.

Updated 8/27:

First I wanted to show some examples of how much more detailed and engaging the general environment is.

Grizzly Hills Howling FjordNorthern Lights

And some other stuff:

A familiar nameAnother familiar nameIsle without any water

And last night, the server lagged hard and there were no mobs . . . anywhere, so I decided to go take a look at Icecrown. It makes BT and TK look like ghetto shanties. This picture in no way does it justice.I was about to get one of the outer gates, which are more imposing, but the server finally cut us off all the way as I was getting in position.

New SS's from playing

Roguered — Thu, 09/04/2008 - 16:56

New SS's from playing today. I was on one of the 2 person griffs. The quest requires you to save villiagers by picking them up. Where from? the city that Naxx decided to park itself under. So here are all the screenshots.Naxx over winterguard: View of Naxx from Winterguard keep.Ontop of Naxx: Hanging around ontop of Naxx. I'm stealthed so I'm a little hard to see.Bottom of Naxx/Entrance: So I flew up in there and that's how you get into Naxx.Shadow of Naxx: Here you go G, a nice shot of Naxx's shadow cast down on the town below.Vehicle UI: Here is a shot of the vehicle UI in wrath. Special quest vehicles have abilities. When you get on one of these the hud changes to show the vehicle UI.

Ya know, I was looking at the "Isle without water screenshot" and it struck me that if you take away the water it looks like something you would see in a final fantasy FMV.

"Fel Reaver 2.0" may have been a bit of a misnomer since this guy isn't in a starting area . . . I guess he'd be more like Durn 2.0.

Is Fel reaver 2.0 the magnataur?

I don't think you walk

Dufe — Wed, 08/27/2008 - 13:47

I don't think you walk around thinking, "Wow those shadows are amazing!" Instead everything in the environment just feels more detailed and slightly more realistic. If you look at the full-size Grizzly Hills ss, you'll notice that the lighting plays a huge role in the zone's look and feel.

Dufe, how noticeable is the

garreth — Wed, 08/27/2008 - 13:43

Dufe, how noticeable is the new shadows system? It's kind of "duh" but I've been waiting for real shadows for a long time!!

OK, I'm going to claim this nickname early:

Crystalsong Forest is now Crystalmeth Forest. You can all thank me when everyone's calling it that in 6 months.

living with you is like living in a living nightmare!

Hmm . . . same thing I do

Dufe — Fri, 08/22/2008 - 00:32

Hmm . . . same thing I do for killshots. I went ahead and published these - seems to have fixed it. I was hoping to avoid having them show up in the tracker individually.

Ahhh, you had them

garreth — Fri, 08/22/2008 - 08:27

Ahhh, you had them unpublished. Yeah, no one has rights to unpublished nodes except admins, raid, and guild officers.

garreth — Fri, 08/22/2008 - 00:09

Dufe, I'll create a wrath album today so that they show up for everyone. I think these images got uploaded to your personal image area and are unviewable by others.
