PTR 3.3: Patch Notes Updated 11/11 (Build 10805)
Posted by Amatera on Wednesday, November 11th, 2009 - 7 Comments
Likely in accordance with the raid testing today, 3.3 has been updated yet again. Though it’s a full 181 MB, the documented changes are minuscule, as they have been over the past few builds. I’ll be the first to tell you that I’m happy about the changes being made to Murder. The description below isn’t just ... More
PTR 3.3: Patch Notes Update, New Map/Quest System Implemented
Posted by Amatera on Friday, November 6th, 2009 - 5 Comments
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
Avoidance Tanks, Meet Your New Worst Enemy: Chill of the Throne
Posted by Amatera on Friday, October 30th, 2009 - 15 Comments
You may have read, here or otherwise, about a zone-wide debuff in Icecrown Citadel that causes one or two-percent damage every few seconds to each player in your group. Though the Warcraft community is prone to complaining about any and every change made to the game, no matter how asinine, they were right about this ... More
PTR 3.3: Patch Notes Update (10172), Dungeon and Raid System Detailed
Posted by Amatera on Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 - 21 Comments
The Looking For Group system was only a setback! Blizzard has fully replaced it with the new Dungeon system on the PTR. Although vestiges of it were on the test realms before, it should be — more or less — fully implemented now. And there’s a pretty big bonus: raids are now a part of ... More

Sorry, ladies and germs! It’s been a bit of a long weekend for me, so I haven’t been able to get to this any sooner, but a new build of 3.3 (10676, to be specific) was pushed onto the Test Realms on Friday. We’re far and away from the major updates of the early iterations. ... More
3.3: Patch Notes Updated 10/16 (Build 10596)
Posted by Amatera on Friday, October 16th, 2009 - 12 Comments
Wow, these things are coming so quickly now that I better start labeling them more clearly. Build 10596 represents the second one that we’ve gotten this week! What’s the hurry? With any luck, it means that we’ll be seeing both Icecrown Citadel and the expansion sooner than we initially thought. If I had to make ... More

Posted by Amatera on Tuesday, October 13th, 2009 - 14 Comments
It looks like that little bit of extra maintenance on the PTR today wasn’t just for show, as a new build of 3.3 has been deployed on the test realms. Unfortunately, this one doesn’t seem to be quite as substantial as the first two, as there seem to be no new instances to run through. ... More

Posted by Amatera on Thursday, October 8th, 2009 - 33 Comments
With a fresh build of 3.3 on the test realms, that means some brand spanking new information is coming down the pipe. First off, perhaps in an effort to stave off would-be data-miners, Blizzard is starting to show off all the near Tier 10 armor pieces on their very own preview site. So far, you ... More

It seems as though the patch notes for 3.3 have been updated once again, meaning that a new build on the PTR should hit sometime within the next couple of days. Here’s what’s new: General The existing /welcome emote now greets/welcomes targets (character says “hello”), while the new /yw is for saying “you’re welcome.” Many of the tail ... More
