Beta Blues

20th Jul 2008 01:12 AM GMT | Maticus | 1 comments
The Blizzard CMs have been busy answering all sorts of questions about the beta. There is another mention of non-combat pets and "big changes" coming which will also affect mounts, what will they be?? Here is the pick of the bunch:

Just to be clear, is it OK for people to show Alpha content now, or just Beta?

	We'd prefer that players focus on beta content and showing it than alpha content since we have made so many changes and would like to make sure that the community at large is getting the most current and correct information and impressions about Wrath of the Lich King.

The achievement, "Going Down?" says that I only need to fall 65 yards with out dying. If I look on my Travel tab I have a "Max distance fallen with out dying" of 164. On the Travel tab no units are given, so I am guessing that is 164 yards.

	The statistic is broken, not the achievement. I think, according the statistic, that you actually only fell 16.4 yards. We're still debating this achievement. We definitely want to do some "falling" achievements though.

Where'd my lag meter go?

	We're in the process of intergrating the Latency Meter with the "Computer" option button. Notice that the screen is green when you're latency is good, yellow when moderate and red when poor. A Mouse-over will give the exact latency.

Is there gonna be any way to apply Riding Crop to like Summon Dreadsteed?

	There are big changes to mounts and vanity pets coming. Sit tight. You're riding crop will be broken for a while but we'll fix it.

When will Alpha characters be unlocked?

	Blizzard Quote: (Source)
	We'll unlock the Alpha characters soon. Be patient.

Achievements = character or account?

	Blizzard Quote: (Source)
	For now, they are by character. Eventually, our plan is to expand these to account-wide achievements. More details to come in the future. For launch of Lich King, however, they will remain at the character level.

Is Azjol'Nerub finished?

	There's a bug in there right now (no pun intended). At the last minute, a wall was added that is not supposed to be there. We're implementing a temporary hotfix that will allow players to bypass the wall. As soon as we patch, it should be fixed (sometime next week).

So i go and do a copy of my Warrior and click on the tab and see i have 465 points already. So the question that came to mind was, are they usable in any way to get some cool little status items... tabards, pets, titles, etc.... or are they just there as like a bragging tool " hey buddy i got 750 ach pts how about you?"

	You will gain some rewards but the points are not spendable.
