In addition to being incredibly well-designed from a challenge standpoint, the new World of Warcraft dungeon, Zul’Gurub, marks the first time that the WoW level designers have taken away the walls as a visual element in a dungeon. They’re still there, effectively — huge cliffs with narrow slopes between areas keep content in discrete areas as usual — but it makes a huge difference visually. Not only is this place a ton of fun, it looks great, too.
Hats off, guys.
(If you look carefully at the picture, you can see a dead night elf rogue, which is always nice, too.)
Not included in the latest patch notes is mention of the holiday going on. Check outside Orgrimmar or Ironforge for a new quest. Given the feast nature of the holiday and its absence from the patch notes, I suspect we accidentally got the Thanksgiving event early, but we’ll see. Still, neat stuff:
OK, I’m told the Harvest Festival, with its references to “fallen heroes” is about remembering 9/11. That makes sense and is a class move.
State Senator George C. Runner, Jr., stopped by the Daily Press in Victorville yesterday morning to meet with reporters and editors. Reporter Miguel Gonzalez has a story on what Runner talked in today’s paper.
I interviewed Runner Monday afternoon and an article following up on his letter to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will appear in the next edition of the Star.
