PC.IGN has whipped up an updated look at 'World of Warcraft', concentrating on the Talent system:The coolest addition has got to be the talents. It's only currently implemented for the mage and the warrior, so this will cause some Player versus Player (PvP) imbalance, but hey, it's just beta, it's free, so I'm not gonna push Dan's head through my monitor, as entertaining as that usually is. Although actual documentation on the talents system is virtually non-existent, we've managed to plumb the depths to a reasonable degree. The talents system works like a branching tree similar to the skill tree in Diablo II, where you can put several points into a certain skill and open up the skill after that one. You may have to invest points in two or three different abilities to access a fourth, and other abilities require you to also have a certain number of points invested in that type of talent. Still with me so far? Awesome. Read it here. |
