In an announcement, Blizz said that Dire Maul would be released on October 15th, ahead of the Phase 2
I don't think we're in the "we're bored" levels of Classic yet, but considering that the player base is wanting PvP in the worst way, this is likely a bone thrown to keep us preoccupied while the rest of Phase 2 is being completed.
While I've done a full Blackrock Depths clear in Wrath, I've never done a full Dire Maul clear at level. That ought to be fun.
My only question now is, how are we going to distinguish Dire Maul from Deadmines in LFG? I guess Dire Maul will have to be "Dire", because otherwise there's going to be a lot of disappointed L60s when they join a "DM" group to discover it's populated with L20 toons....

You can always add the wings, DM-East, DM-North, or DM-West to indicate Dire Maul. I could see someone listing DM-Westfall for Deadmines as a bit of a troll. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that someone will have figured it out by the time I reach L60, so I'm not too worried. But given that I was in a group looking for a tank for RFK and the person who joined thought we were doing Downs....
DeleteHas it passed you by that DM vs. VC is apparently a debate that has raged through the ages? PC Gamer wrote a whole article about it last week.
ReplyDeletePersonally I've always been a DM girl and like Pallais says above, nobody ever does all 3 wings of Dire Maul in one go, so there's little room for confusion really.
Given that I joined in Wrath only 2-3 months before LFG dropped --and on the Horde side, as well-- the entire DM / VC thing passed me by.
DeleteWhen I saw VC in Chat in Classic, I thought they meant they were on the last boss and needed an assist.
You know, like how I thought for the longest time that OMW meant "Oh My Land" instead of "On My Way". The former is a Midwestern exclamation akin to "Holy Cow" or "Holy Shit" that you typically hear only from the elderly nowadays (I heard it a LOT from my Great Aunt who was born in 1902.)
I was on a server that used VC (mostly), but I have no issues with either usage. Though I will, at times, troll someone in General Chat who is being obnoxious over the way they want everyone else to call Deadmines. ;)

DeleteSo that was what that argument in Chat outside Sentinel Hill was about. Not you personally, but I thought people were just being idiots to each other.
