New Gameplay Features
Like
The Burning Crusade before it, Wrath of the Lich King will be an
expansion in the truest sense of the word. Not happy with just adding a
landmass bigger than Outland, new dungeons with fresh loot, and an army
of new monsters, the design team is also introducing brand-new gameplay
mechanics to make the game world more accessible, more alive, and even
more fun. Read on to find out more about some of the many gameplay
changes going into World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.
Paradigm Shift: Dungeons and Raids in Wrath of the Lich King
Heroic dungeons were one of the most popular innovations of the
previous expansion, so it’s no surprise Heroic mode will return in
Wrath of the Lich King. Just as in The Burning Crusade, every
five-person dungeon will have a Heroic variant that will present
players with an added challenge and improved rewards.
One exciting new feature in Wrath of the Lich King is that all raid
content will be available as either a 10- or 25-person dungeon with
completely independent progression paths. Both the 10- and 25-person
versions will be the same dungeon; the look, layout, and design of the
dungeon will remain the same. However, each will be adjusted, tuned,
and balanced for its respective player size.
Dances with Wolvar
The Aldor and Scryer factions are an integral part of the high-level
experience of The Burning Crusade, requiring players to make meaningful
choices between opposing factions. But even though the Aldor and the
Scryers oppose each other, the hostility between them stops short of
all-out warfare. Wrath of the Lich King will introduce more opposing
factions, but this time, faction rivalries might intensify a bit....
For example, players traveling in Northrend will find themselves
embroiled in a violent, ongoing struggle between a group of
wolverine-like creatures known as the wolvar and a faction of
highly-evolved murlocs. By allying themselves with one of these
factions, players will inevitably be drawn further into the conflict,
and each side offers its supporters a different experience.
In Wrath of the Lich King, players can expect both 10- and 25-person
raid progression paths to get increasingly difficult as they adventure
to their final battle with Arthas. This new gameplay mechanic will
allow more players to enjoy the raid content of Wrath of the Lich King
in their preferred play style. Because it takes more effort to get 25
people together than it does for 10, players who participate in the
25-person raid progression path will receive higher quality and more
loot than those who play the 10-person versions.
In addition, players will never be required to attune in a 10-person
raid to progress to a 25-person raid in the progression path. Raid
lockouts are same-size as well, so joining a 25-person raid for a
dungeon will not lock a player out from the 10-person version of the
same dungeon. This freedom of choice between raid-progression paths
will let personal preference play a much bigger role in how players
experience the raid content of Wrath of the Lich King.
New Quest Mechanics
The quest designers are hard at work to make sure that the road to
level 80 will be paved with quests unlike anything you’ve ever seen
before. The Burning Crusade innovated with bombing runs and daily
quests, and Wrath of the Lich King will continue this trend with still
more unique and varied adventures to undertake.
Just one example of the new mechanics you can expect from the expansion
is the new vehicle-based content, which puts an interesting spin on
some of the concepts originally developed for PvP siege gameplay.
Certain types of vehicles and mounts can now carry passengers, making
it possible for players to, for example, break a prisoner out of a
tightly guarded compound by attempting a daring escape on horseback.
While the NPC steers the horse, the player lobs explosives at a pack of
pursuing worgen. In another quest, the roles are reversed as the player
takes to the skies in a flying machine to track down and rescue
survivors of a catastrophic event. Even beyond the ability for vehicles
to hold passengers, Wrath of the Lich King introduces an aerial combat
system that will add a new dimension to gameplay.
