That new warlords wow expansion...

Only in the last day or two was my attention drawn to the fact that the next wow expansion is well under way.

A good wow blogger is The Grumpy Elf, and has noted down a lot of thoughts about the new expansion from being at Blizzcon.

There are two day's of notes Grumpy elf has posted but I've only wittled down day one of these for myself, points I found of interesting:

Garrison is - Basically it is like player housing..

- Kind of sad they are doing what they did with the farm and tying it to one expansion however but that does not change the fact I am looking forward to it.

- Getting followers, making them gather, quest, do dungeons, even raid for me.

- With my cast of characters I can have a massive amount of the garrisons and that means if I want I could farm materials like crazy.

- Going to miss reforging being they are removing it.

 - Hit and expertise being gone?  Winner.

- Dodge and parry being gone?  Winner.

- Sure, there will be a lot of not the best type of gear we get now because we would prefer something with stats more suitable for us.

 - I am excited with the changes to armor as well.

- Even if it does mean I now need to roll against elemental shaman and restoration shaman.

- Your gears stats changing with your spec is something I have been suggesting here for years.

 - Fewer gem slots, fewer items that can be enchanted, no reforging, some people might call it dumming down, I just call it a blessing.

- Good old ghostcrawler said it well when he said he wanted to make getting gear exciting again.

- Being able to get it and put it on instantly instead of saying, I'll have to wait until after the raid so I can figure out how to reforged for my caps and get the most use out of it is more exciting for sure.

- Speaking of gem slots, no more meta gems.

- Flex is becoming the new normal.

- Normal is becoming the new heroic and it is going to be flexible.

- A new level of raiding is being added, not flexible, for 20 players, and that will be the top tier of raiding.

 - And heirlooms being on a shared tab as well.

- This means cross realm heirlooms.

- Does this mean I can equip them on all my characters or only one can be using it at a time?

 
- Oh god I love that gear changing with spec.

- Almost as much as I love a tab for all my heirlooms.
