World of Warcraft Firelands Preview

World of Warcraft's 4.2 patch will include Firelands. Apparently Cataclysm ruptured the Elemental Plane, home of Azeroth’s primordial spirits, and has released Ragnaros and his armies. They have marched on Mount Hyjal with plans to burn the World Tree of Nordrassil to the ground, but were pushed back to the Firelands.


It looks like it's up to you to keep that from happening. OMG!
With the release of Patch 4.2, 10 and 25 man raids will get their chance to strike back at Ragnaros.

The Firelands raid dungeon is a massive outdoor affair, large and open enough for players to ride their mounts through.
Each boss features a completely new model. Even Ragnaros himself sports a stunning new look, and so can the players that take him down, thanks to cosmetic armour that drops off of his corpse.
“It’s an extended effort to make the loot really feel like it fits the bosses,” Blizzards Cory Stockton told Kotaku. “It’s something were trying to do more often.” Coordinating loot drops cosmetically with bosses increases development time, the gear creators having to wait for the boss designs before they can get started. “We don’t always get a chance to do that.”


In order to help players tackle these new raid bosses, patch 4.2 introduces the Encounter Journal, a new feature that will allow players to instantly access information on raid and dungeons bosses, from what they drop to how they’ll drop you.
The Encounter Journal will also give players a way to see what sort of gear they can acquire from a successful raid.

Former Horde Warchief turned uber-Shaman Thrall was a major player in the Cataclysm expansion, and his role is set to expand once again in patch 4.2.

A new legendary weapon coming in patch 4.2, and this time around it’s a caster staff. Nothing is being said about the new staff, gamers will have to wait and see. Until then watch the Video and drool.
