Warlords of Draenor Beta

[Oguur]

My biggest curiosity is actually if rogues will have the same survivability and sustainability troubles when levelling as they've had in most expansions.
But since you can't copy characters it's not easy to answer I guess!

I had a rogue leveling ahead of me. With the starter gear (item lvl 500 greens with rare weapons), there was no sustainability problems reported so far.

Not to mention the stance of the Horde camp in the Blasted Lands and how the orcs of the Blackrock, if there are anyones left, are interacting with those guys.

The camp in Blasted Lands appear completely unchanged. I don't think there's been any changes to the "old" world.

There is a WoD dungeon for UBRS though. I've not played it yet.

Here's the first part of the story that you encounter as you go through the dark (red) portal

Spoiler: show

You first encounter the heroes and a vanguard defending the portal from the Iron Horde. The main characters that we will follow are Khadgar, Thrall, Cordona Felsong, Vindicator Maraad, Lady Liadrin, Hansel Heavyhands, Olin Umberhide, Ariok, Qiana Moonshadow and Thaelin Darkanvil.

The first task is to find out what is going on so you can shut down the portal. On one of the orcs you find a Warsong Missive from Grommash. It turns out that the Warsong are protecting the Shadow Coincil and Gul'dan, whos fel magic they use to fuel the portal. You head over to two spires and destroy two relics, which have hold Cho'gall and Theron'gor captive, not at all pleased to be used by the warsong. They also reveal that Gul'dan powers the portal. The warsong are channeling the spirits of slain prisoners through his body.
[spoiler]

To stop this, you need to destroy the relics that hold Gul'dan captive, and free him. When you do so he tells you to hurry back to help my dwindling armies, and that there will be time for regret later. He concludes that we will meet again.

With the Dark Portal closed, you return to make a hasty retreat with the heroes, as the vanguard hold the forces back for as long as they can. Your new mission is simple: Stay alive. The next set of quests takes part in the Tanaan Jungle.

Just went through some stuff on my draenei shammy in Shadowmoon. Some interesting things about the void magic that the Shadowmoon orcs are using...

It's literally their own ancestors they are twisting and binding to their will using shadow magic that we are fighting in Warlords...
