Vanity Item: Object Of My Desire
Posted by iTZKooPA on Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 - 6 Comments
Vanity items don’t get me going, for the most part (”ZOMG vanity pets! Squeal!”). I don’t care about having cute or unusual costumes. I don’t piece together entertaining ensembles or strive to get rare pieces of rather pointless gear. Yea, I had a Twill set, but that was sparked by competition rather than my actual ... More
PTR 3.3: ICC Raid Testing Schedule (11/18-11/20), PuG With the Blues 3
Posted by Amatera on Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 - 3 Comments
The latest raid testing schedule kicks off with both Lord Marrowgar and the Icecrown Gunship Battle (both US and European servers) on Wednesday. As much as these two have been under the microscope so far, I’d anticipate that they’re nearly ready for prime-time. And on top of that? Every encounter on the list this week ... More
Switching Guilds: Hard to Say Goodbye
Posted by pixiestixy on Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 - 8 Comments
50 DKP minus if you don’t get the reference. It’s hard not to get attached to guild mates when you spend hours on end online with them working though complex strategies and making friendly jokes at their expense. On top of that, add on real-life friendships with said guildies and you’ve got one heck of a ... More
Wishful Thinking: A Truly Random Dungeon
Posted by Amatera on Monday, November 16th, 2009 - 17 Comments
In addition to World of Warcraft, I’ve found myself playing a couple of “loot whore” games lately, and they’ve got me thinking about the balance between static and continually-generated end-game content. These sorts of things can be important when considering how entertained or bored your players are going to be when they reach a certain ... More
Are You Bored With Call of the Crusade (Patch 3.2)?
Posted by iTZKooPA on Monday, November 16th, 2009 - 22 Comments
When I rejoined the masses during The Burning Crusade I knew that I wouldn’t be raiding like I did in vanilla. I knew that I’d already be behind on gear when I joined, with the difference growing as time went on. I also knew that Wrath of the Lich King was coming soon, and would ... More
Night Elf Mohawk Grenade, by Mr. T
Posted by Heartbourne on Monday, November 16th, 2009 - 9 Comments
Mr. T is back! Apparently some players tried to diss his previous claims that he could hack the World of Warcraft to make the fabled Night Elf Mohawk class. Here is the previous commercial if you aren’t up on his claims: Apparently, you can get them right now on live US realms. You can grab them ... More
PTR 3.3: Deathbringer Raid Encounter [Video]
Posted by Amatera on Friday, November 13th, 2009 - 24 Comments
Deathbringer is one of the few remaining fights not previously tested on the PTR, and perhaps for good reason! The lore surrounding this fight connects right back to one of Wrath of the Lich King’s most iconic events. If you’ve experienced it yourself, then you probably already know which one I’m referring to. If not, ... More
Arenas: Biggest Design Mistake of WoW
Posted by Heartbourne on Friday, November 13th, 2009 - 21 Comments
The Escapist of the Warcry Network had the fortune to interview the VP of Game Design, Rob Pardo, in a sort of retrospective look at the past five years of design of World of Warcraft. Its a great interview, and Blizzard has been doing a lot of these sort of things recently, perhaps to hype ... More
BlizzCon 2010 In Las Vegas…But Not Really
Posted by iTZKooPA on Thursday, November 12th, 2009 - 14 Comments
Some of you may have heard that Las Vegas is going to be the home of BlizzCon 2010. The odd change in location, to say the least, is far from confirmed. The news comes directly from the Las Vegas Convention Center. Not the most unbiased of outlets considering the topic. A few moments ago Blizzard ... More
