As you may have read in the latest patch notes, Blizzard has gone ahead and given players the option to integrate the Quest Log and World Map into one big, conglomerated objective-tracking monstrosity! People will wail and people will moan that they’re, once again, making the game too easy, but then those same people will ... More

Posted by Amatera on Friday, November 6th, 2009 - 8 Comments
Two new entries have been added to Blizzard’s Official Tier 10 armor previews: the Paladin and Priest. Though you’ve likely seen them before, these two sets can now be considered “complete” and in their final forms. Even after much controversy, they remain roughly the same as they did when data-miners first pulled them out of ... More

New build, new stuff! Two things of especially interesting note this time around: if you’re still running Naxxramas these days, then it’s about to get a little bit easier. Are you tired of having to run through the entire dungeon just to unlock the fight with Sapphiron? Well, fret no longer! Blizzard has heard your ... More

I have been spending a substantial amount of time leveling a new toon since BlizzCon 2009’s Cataclysm announcements. Like many players, I want to experience the aspects of vanilla WoW before they disappear into the digital abyss (maybe then Blizzard will setup a vanilla server cluster?). And no, I am not running the 1-60 gauntlet ... More
Patch 3.3: Icecrown Raid Difficulty Makes Raiding Even More Granular
Posted by iTZKooPA on Thursday, November 5th, 2009 - 8 Comments
Blizzard first chopped up the difficulty settings of World of Warcraft in vanilla WoW with optional bosses, or new loot tables for killing a boss in a certain way - effectively the first hard mode before that label came to be. The idea was taken a step further in The Burning Crusade with the introduction ... More
Treachery on Vent: Infiltrating Enemy Tactics

A couple nights ago, I was running Wintergrasp on my server, Khaz Modan, and lamenting the fact that all day the Horde had been unsuccessful at capturing the contested zone. Finally in one raid group, someone offered up their ventrilo server for everyone to use so we could better coordinate our efforts. It sounded like a ... More
