Ruby Sanctum And Real Id Pack The Punch In Patch 3.3.5
June 23, 2010 There are just a few patches left before World of Warcraft finally
leaves Northrend and returns to old world, but boy did Blizzard deliver a couple of impressive features in the latest pre-Cataclysm Patch 3.3.5!
Theres the new raid borne from the nefarious plans of Cataclysm mega boss Deathwing and the revolutionary communication tool that allows WoW players to chat with friends on other Battle.net games. Read on to get a full grasp of these just-added features plus minor improvements to the vote kick and user interface commands.
Ruby Sanctum Raid with Fascinating Lore and Loot
The transition raid between the Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm expansions, Ruby Sanctum is a brand-new dungeon offering normal and Heroic fight modes to both 10- and 25-man teams.
The Ruby Sanctum can be accessed through an entrance located at the lower level of Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight, and will be a moderate test to the coordination skills of teams braving this newest progression content. (If youre farming the Lich King and complaining about yet another increase in the Icecrown CitadelIm talking about you).
Lore nuts can also bask in the gripping storyline surrounding the attack on the Ruby Sanctum; Deathwing wants to steal the red dragon eggs stored in the sanctum and plan to corrupt them into his own army of Twilight drakes.
To stop this from happening, players will have to help the red dragon Queen Alexstrasza repel the invading war party led by Halion the Twilight Destroyer, a full-grown twilight drake himself, along with three other black dragon lieutenants. Raiding success will pay off handsomely since Halion will drop substantial a href="http://wowgoldpig.com/" title="WoW Gold">WoW Gold ilvl 284 loot, which is the same level as Lich King heroic 25-man loot.
Battle.net Real ID Opens Up Cross-Game Communication
Patch 3.3.5 also activates a ground-breaking communication feature: the cross-game, cross-server, cross-faction Battle.net Real ID.
With the Battle.net Real ID, World of Warcraft players will be able to add friends to all Battle.net gamersnot just those adventuring Azeroth. So while leveling his gnome toon, a gamer can chat with his online buddies playing StarCraft 2 or Diablo 3.
In-game, WoW players can also communicate with friends theyve interacted in different servers via the Random Dungeon finder or the opposing faction. Theres no more reason to limit your friends list to your faction and guildies. Now, through invitations to add their Battle.net Real ID you can make friends by the thousands.
Connecting through the Real ID feature even opens up a host of exclusive features between friends, including tracking their game status, watching their characters and statistics grow, and sending a broadcast that gets stored for later viewing corkboard-style. Of course privacy can still be your primary concern while gaming so Real ID is completely optional.
No Vote Kick Cooldown for Cool Players
More than game-shaking changes, Blizzard also implemented some convenient upgrades to the game systems beginning with the vote kick function.
Players who keep their cool and avoid kicking teammates left and right from random dungeons will no longer experience a Vote Kick cooldown. Developers revealed that players are being tracked for abusing the Vote Kick system and that freeing up the cooldown for wise users will help encourage proper dungeon etiquette.
Improvements in Chat Frame and Friends List
Taking up the rear in terms of changes are the improvements in the chat frame and friends list user interface. A simple right-click on a chat window can separate the conversation types into another window for those times when you want to quickly filter out raid chat from the main channel.
Meanwhile, the friends list has expanded to accommodate management buttons for Real ID friends. Players can also choose from three statusesAvailable, Away and Busythat will be visible to all their friends. This is nifty when you just want to farm undisturbed or are free for hours-long chitchat.
