WoW New Playable Race - Wisps

Posted Mar 31, 2006 at 10:04AM EST by QJ Staff

Ó



The Alliance is getting another race for World of Warcraft, the Wisp! There is an interesting ability that comes with the Wisp, the ability to detonate, which destroys the Wisp, dispelling all magical buffs and draining 50 Mana from each unit in an area around the wisp.



The introduction of Wisps allows a new and exciting game mechanic: permanent death. The ability that destroyed Archimonde is available to all Wisps as a racial ability. This power, Detonate, destroys the Wisp in an explosion of energy, sapping the Mana of all surrounding adventurers, friend and foe alike. This should provide an extremely interesting addition to the many adventures of Warcraft, particularly when pitted against other players!
Racial Traits:

    * Detonate: Destroys the wisp, dispelling all magical buffs and draining 50 Mana from each unit in an area around the wisp.
    * Gatherer: Skill to herbalism, mining, and skinning increased by 10.
    * Permanent Death
    * Treeform: Turns the wisp into a tree for 30 seconds. During this time, spirit is increased by 300. However, the wisp's chance to dodge or parry axes is reduced by 50%.

I'm happy with wisps. Blood Elves are cooler but Wisps make since. Just don't know how armor, weapons, or anything else fits into them.

I can't believe the proprietor of this blog took that seriously. It's clearly an April Fools joke.

wow is a futile game robbing people of a richer life, the choice remains live a life outside the world and get into your own adventures or let a simulation engulf all your spare time.

You guys are SOOOO smart, figuring out it was a joke! What tipped you off?! The wisp with the Fu Manchu?!



Honestly... saying it's "bull?" No kidding. You know what it also was? Pretty funny! :D

# lol @ futileGuest 2006-04-02 22:44
Yeah our daily lives are so full of adventure. Nothing boring or mundane about them. No sir. Who needs MMOs? Why the other day I needed gas for my car and the gas stations were on strike. Can you believe that? O_o



Anyway the joke was outrageously obvious (and that was the intention I believe). As for Alliance being favoured LOL. Take a look at how unfairly AV is designed in favour of the Horde. And shamans... don't get me started.

ok so this information that the alliance get wisps WAS released about 12 hours before ACTUAL april fools however if the blizzard game designers actually thought wisps would be a good idea for the new alliance race then they wouldn't have made it to the multi-billion dollar company they are today. Alliance players would have a fit if their new race was a puff of *****ing light. these screenshots are abviously made by some blizzard game designers because they do look real however the "reroll" character doesn't make any sense and the fact that a level 26 a) somehow made it to the arcanist in scarlet monestary and b) has mooncloth bags obviously shows that this is a clever april fools joke. Honestly what are the chances that they would actually release wisps a DAY before april fools and expect us to believe them? thats all i have to say peace out

and also to the person who posted their description as "futile" it is OUR choice to play this game, we work to pay for this game, and this game doesn't consume our whole lives. It's a free country and if your nazi fashist totalitarianist attitude can't handle that then go die. you obviously have a) never played the game and b) assume all of those who do play are inferior...your opinion isn't worth even listening to so just do the world a favour and shut up.
