The Escapist: I just wanted to get your impression of Patch 4.3 and how it turned out from your end. We got a chance to sit down with Greg Street, lead systems designer of World of Warcraft but perhaps better known as the crab called “Ghostcrawler” on Blizzard’s forums and ask him what he thought about the patch, whether he thinks it will bring back the lagging subscription numbers for WoW and what the next expansion Mists of Pandaria have in store for us. Other than a slew of dungeons and raids focused on putting the former Aspect of Earth out of his misery, Patch 4.3 also added features like Transmogrification – letting you change how your armor appears – as well as a Raid Finder tool which facilitated automatic grouping for tackling the high-end content. Patch 4.3, dubbed “Hour of Twilight,” introduced the final raid encounter with the main villain of Cataclysm, the evil black dragon Deathwing. Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street from WoW talks about the success and failures of the latest patch, and what’s coming next.Įven though MMO players are likely fixated on The Old Republic‘s launch today, World of Warcraft recently had a launch of its own at the end of last month.
