Bad and good for Inscription:



In case you didn't hear, there was a rather large press event over WoW Power Leveling wow power leveling the weekend. All at once, a seeming floodgate of information spewed forth with Cataclysm goodness onto our waiting ears. Of particularly exciting note for us, the hammer-and-apron crafting crowd, we finally got some hints about what we're going to see -- and, painfully, some definites about what we're not going to see.

First, Path of the Titans is out. And while that does mean sagdyqmsyd that Blizzard is going to Wedding Dresses wedding dresses focus on making other content as high quality as possible, that means that Archaeology is being ditched as a true profession. It will be focused on providing lore benefit instead, which I'll acknowledge is a pretty cool idea. I was hoping to have a Bones-like character ready to to engage in forensic archaeology and absolutely make a killing on the auction house with my squinty goods.

This opens up a slot in the profession mind-space in Cataclysm, so Inscription will be stepping up to fill that role. Inscription's getting an overhaul. There's good news and bad news.

The bad news -- for profession hounds -- is that you will no longer have to replace glyphs just because you swap them around. What does this mean? It's still too early to know for certain, but it looks like Inscription might lose that particular money-making option. It's been traditional that players would swap and destroy old glyphs, then pay a scribe to get them remade. That will no longer be the case. The glyph change will probably look something like how we change talents in the current game. Still, while that sucks for scribes who'd been accustomed to selling glyphs mass-market style on the auction house, it's a nice convenience for other players.

The goods news is that there's an entire new tier of glyphs being added to the game. This "middle glyph" will add fun, cosmetic effects to your character. I feel like I should point out that's what we all thought glyphs were going to do in the first place, so it's awesome to see the idea get revisited.

Some examples of things we might see would include green fire for warlocks or maybe Wedding Dresses wedding dresses an angelic sound when paladins use their bubble. The sky is the limit for the coolness that could be created by middle glyphs, and I have to imagine the ability to tweak the look and feel of classes is an awful lot of fun for Blizzard designers. (At least, I hope it is; I firmly believe some of the features we've most had fun with in the game are things the developers had fun creating.)



Thanks for reading and have a good time.
