Hour of Twilight with, Cataclysm comes to an end. For this is the last content patch before the publication of the next expansion and sees players involved in the final battle against Deathwing the Destroyer, the Old Gods corrupted by Appearance, whose return devastating cataclysm has unleashed on Azeroth.

We came to the showdown, not only against the bad guy but also in drawing up a budget on this third expansion dell'inossidabile World of Warcraft. Started as a brilliant operation of make-up of a title now in its seventh year, Cataclysm can not be said to have excelled in the original content. Over the months, in fact, some spark of originality they swing the recycling of elements already present in the game and extremely content "farming," as long daily quests introduced with patch 4.2 on Firelands, or Archaeology, a profession that proved as futile as boring.

Signs of deficiency in the contents came from the first patch, which was initially introduced is that Abyssal Maw Firelands and instead saw the cancellation of Abyssal Maw (with abandon its line of narrative), then replaced with the revival of two old acquaintances: Zul'Aman and Zul'Gurub (patch 4.1), transformed for the occasion by vintage raid instance dungeon for five players were. Firelands, then, was the place to post patches later (4.2), and after less than two months after its introduction in the game, was the eponymous raid instance, in the "normal", much easier. Although it has become practice for Blizzard, the release of a new content, making more accessible the earlier ("nerf"), in the case of Firelands scaling problems occurred with a slight advance of the release of new patches, adding in the game just in these days. The cause is to be found not only in the fact that Firelands was inserted in World of Warcraft in the summer, which is not very conducive to bond the players in front of the PC, but also in the fact that his normal difficulty level made ​​it particularly difficult to casual gamers and those who organized the raid with guilds (the so-called "pickup group"), making it especially with respect to the content defected raid instance already present at the launch of the expansion.

In addition, unlike Arthas, was Deathwind the great absent of this expansion. Who played in the days of The Burning Crusade will remember the controversy of Illidan, the super villain that most of the players had been able to see, however, right on the cover of the game, then why Arthas became ubiquitous in Northrend. Here we find ourselves in the same situation at the time: it is true that the proportions of Dethwing, a dragon so gigantic and furious, it does help to put it easily in the context of the game, and occasionally you can also see its menacing silhouette standing out at 'horizon in the lands of Azeroth, but after a year there are those who never even managed to glimpse ... with the result that "The Destroyer", not only destroyed very little but was also easy to forget about him until a few days ago, when the patch 4.3: Hour of Twilight has led to the fateful final battle. And when you think World of Warcraft has now reached the lowest point of the seven years of life ... here is that Blizzard manages to remind us of the reason why, after so many years, we are still here to play.

With the same formula used to introduce Ice Crown, who had committed players against Arthas in Wrath of the Lich King, or even "Dragon Soul", the new instanced raids for 10/25 player, were joined by three new dungeons for parties five players, whose events are the prologue to the final showdown with Deathwing. Here too you will have at least the first time, proceed with the events in order: complete a dungeon and unlock the next. Once completed, then the entire sequence, all three will be available in the Dungeon Finder. With these new dungeons players are sent to retrieve the Dragon Soul , an ancient artifact (which also gives its name to its raid instance) forged by Deathwing himself during the War of the Ancients, imbued with the essence of all the flock of dragons Dragonfligth and only tool that can help Thrall and other aspects of Deathwing to destroy, but to do that we must travel back in time with Nozdormu, and Caverns of Time.

Through three new dungeons End Time, and Well of Eternity Hour Twilight of the players are first to be sent in a future where we will witness the devastating impact of Azeroth, Deathwing's victory and, in a world devoid of life, deal with the tormented souls of people like Sylvanas, Baine, Jayna and Tyrande .. . Murozond and defeat, whose power locks travel back in time. From this bleak future back to the past to relive one of the key moments in the history of this saga: the War of the Ancients, where the thirst for power of Queen Azshara came to destroy the Highborne, Well of Eternity and Rishis to carry on Azeroth of the Burning Legion of Sargeras. Here players, aided by Illidan, Malfurion and Tyrande, will be recovered at the Well of Eternity, Dragon Soul, before Malfurion hide him.

Lastly, back to the present time to escort Thrall, with its precious cargo to the Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight, where Deathwing the assault has already begun, in collaboration with the events of the raid so that begins where the instance dungeon Hour of Twilight ends. In the raid instance of the battle already raging Dragon Soul and the players must make their way to the Wyrmrest Temple to defeat five bosses, before engaging in an aerial battle divided into two phases, Deathwing the Destroyer. Having defeated only the first three bosses of the Dragon Soul, it is not possible to comment on the raid instance as a whole and, while not bother us at all that is set in Northrend, where we spent several days in our Wrath of the Lich King , we can see though, especially compared to Firelands, the first boss have fallen quite easily.
