Pilgrim’s Bounty: Why the Rogue Hate?
Posted by pixiestixy on Wednesday, November 25th, 2009 - 9 Comments
Pilgrim’s Bounty started, and I may as well ought to have had a target plastered onto my face. No rogues in Azeroth are safe! All are being hunted! Take shelter — run for your lives!! Okay, so I’m being a little overly dramatic. But that’s what it felt like — that this whole Turkey Lurkey achievement ... More
Pilgrim’s Bounty Has Arrived!
Posted by Amatera on Saturday, November 21st, 2009 - 11 Comments
What’s a better way to relax and unwind after scarfing down some turkey than by scarfing down some virtual turkey? Frankly, I’m surprised it’s taken Blizzard this long to do it, but one of the great world holidays as finally turned Azerothian. The denizens of Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms now have their own Thanksgiving ... More
PTR 3.3: Patch Notes Update 11/17 (Build 10835)
Posted by Amatera on Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 - 7 Comments
A new round of changes to go with the next week of testing! Perhaps the most important of the bunch are those relating to the way Rogue poisons work. We brought a potential problem to your attention last week, which involved an add-on allowing Rogues to weapon-swap (and thus poison-swap) on the fly. This was supposed ... More
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
The Back-and-Forth Saga of a 3.3 Vanish Fix
Posted by pixiestixy on Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 - 9 Comments
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, rogues have got to be sneaky. It’s a good part of what defines the class, allows them, as leather-wearers, to deal melee dps without instant death, and sets them apart from other DPSers. So it’s no huge surprise that Vanish, one of the key skills that rounds out that specialty, ... More
PTR 3.3: New Build (10676) Brings UI, Tutorial Enhancements
Posted by Amatera on Monday, October 26th, 2009 - 5 Comments
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: New Official Tier 10 Previews
Posted by Amatera on Sunday, October 25th, 2009 - 17 Comments
Not too long ago, we told you that Blizzard was planning on previewing the new tier of class armor on their very own website. They kicked off their Tier 10 catalog earlier in the month by showing off gear for the Death Knight, Druid, Hunter, and Warrior classes, presumably in an attempt to control the ... More
Trial Of The Crusader Is Making Me Poor!
Posted by Amatera on Thursday, October 15th, 2009 - 18 Comments
I’ll tell you right off the bat that I’m not much of an economist. I don’t play the Auction House, I don’t farm for things to sell, and I only do dailies on occasion (usually if I’m determined to raise my reputation with a certain faction). With the guild vault taking care of most of ... More
PTR 3.3: Tier 10 and Set Bonuses Revealed
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
