If you read the patch notes, you'd realize that this is the whole point.

"Alliance Themed" - "Horde Themed" - Lore wise, this probably means that the factions built these armors, so it makes sense they'd be very similar.

We've only seen the plate alliance sets so far.

---

Theme is fine, I don't think Alliance and Horde warriors should look the same, but that doesn't mean that people want to see only 4 armor models for each side. It just seems boring that you could hardly tell these classes apart without paying close attention to the skills they use or having to mouse over them first. I suppose Unholy DKs have the advantage of having a ghoul next to them to stand out from the crowd. *shrug*

I guess I'm just spoiled by all the variety they had in the game until now.

Raw epic gems can be obtained via the following means:
Prospecting Titanium Ore
Alchemy transmutations
Purchased with Honor
Purchased with Emblems of Heroism

This is the bit Im really loving, currently I have 211 full stacks or titanium bought at aprox 70g each. I'm certain I'll have a resale well in excess of 200g per stack :)

Perfect timing too as we're just 7 levels of our 10 man team and will need the epics!

mmm yeah firstly that "I have 211 stacks" needs to be "We" and your plan best work cos if my girls + Shrooman get to 80 and we have no gold to get my epics ...you sleeping in the garden for at least a week! ;)

Just saw these changes for Engineering listed on MMO-Champion:
[*]Added a new Mind Amplification Dish attachment for helmets, allowing engineers to control other humanoid targets. Some restrictions apply: does not work in Arenas, dish sometimes reverses targets, unable to stack with other stat-improving head enchantments and makes your helmet look... stylish? [*]The Cobalt Frag Bomb now incapacitates enemies within a 3-yard radius. A short cast time was added, but they are usable while moving. This change applies to any Cobalt Frag Bombs already created. The existing recipe now makes 3 at a time. [*]Engineers can now learn to create a portable Wormhole Generator for Northrend. The Wormhole allows them to travel to different locations in Northrend, although the locations are sometimes in dangerous places. [*]A new repair bot has been added, and his name is Jeeves. He is the ultimate gentleman robot butler, able to perform all the mundane tasks of repairing, selling and buying junk for your entire raid. Additionally, he can open bank boxes for skilled engineers (350+). Jeeves is not destroyed when used, but due to pressing engagements, can only be summoned once an hour. The schematic for this handsome robot was said to be hidden within the parts of another robot - hoping to be found by an engineer one day. [*]Reduced the materials needed to create all engineering Dragonlings, and reduced their cooldowns, although they still cannot be used in Arenas. [*]A Steam-Powered Auctioneer has been added to the Dalaran Like Clockwork engineering shop, allowing access to one's faction Auction House. The Steam-Powered Auctioneer was programmed with a superiority chip, and will only interact with Grand Master engineers.


Very, very nice additions....

Wow that auction bot is dope!

We really, NO SERIOUSLY, we really dont need another AE incapacitate/silence/stun effect item. There is enough damn AE stuff as is, god. (In response the the AE incap grenades)

Did anybody notice the note where it says that t9 items will all drop from one piece? (Rather than a chest piece, a head piece, etc that you turn in for the item). I wonder if that means that triumph emblems wont allow you to purchase tier pieces, since putting the item up there would essentially allow you to get the entire set from emblems.

i'd love to see some concrete information on the cost of those 10%xp heirloom chest pieces. They say it can be bought on the PTR for 40 badges, but other sites are saying it requires the crusader title. I'm not exalted with any faction yet and there's no way i would spend months of grinding rep just to get that heriloom chest piece for my alts. Seems odd that blizz would have such heavy requirements for those heirloom pieces when you will now be able to get so much of the previously-unattainable-to-non-raiders gear with the new badge system.

It isn't that hard to get city reps to exalted. I've just did it with my team, one of them got granted from 31 to 60 (so very few completed vanilla quests).

Newbie area quests are quite fast, the level 10-20 ones aren't that bad either. If you did some argent tournament valiant quests to become champion you are even closer to exalted.
You can take Champion's Writs instead of Champion's Purses for another 250 rep with the city you've bought the token from (as well as 62.5 for the other cities). Or you could turn in cloth to the according quartermasters. Might even try AV (i hate it though).

Lots of options nowadays.

I'm not worried about it being hard per se, just a major time sink. I checked my rep required for the title, and i'm between 10% and 50% into honored for all factions. The gains from the chest piece would be even more significant with the shoulders ... <xp>*<2xrested>*<10%-mantle>*<10%-chest> would be huge ... never done any of the argent tournament stuff tho - aAt 2 hrs/day, how long am i looking at?

Its both - go check mmo-champion.

1 token, or "X" number of badges - everything is purchasable from badges too - so everyone can get the full set eventually, provided they can at least do a little of the content.

---

So just to clarify: everyone can get a full tier 9 just from doing heroics?
