Wrath of the Lich King: NOW We Can Talk
Unless you have been removed from the news cycle, you allready know these two important tidbits of information:
The Wrath Beta has started
The NDA has been lifted.
In other words, any proposed changes are now public, in the open, and up for legit discussion.[...]
Hunter 101: Taming Above Level 20
Stating that the wow blogosphere is overloaded with high quality hunter sites is probably an understatement. All you ever wanted to know about hunter done not simply right but done well is there at the simple click of a mouse.
Reader Question: Best Moments in WoW?
One of our regular readers would like to continue verifying how deep the often stark contrast between my favourite hardcore blogging antagonist Stop and me is running, and wrote us both asking to define our best moment in WoW
Blog Azeroth Shared Topic: How did you come up with your Character Names?
I’ve left the first couple of Blog Azeroth shared topics slide by since I didn’t have anything worth sharing, but I’ll hop on this particular bandwagon
So character names. Going back to my teens when I was playing pen & paper RPGs (yes, my nerd roots are that deep), names which sounded more or [...]
AddOns in Review: Damage Meters Benchmark II, solo Hunter
As we saw in the previous benchmark in our series, the surveyed Damage Meters get level 70 character solo play right. Before that one I ran a test series with my level 13 hunter, though, and the picture starts getting differentiated.
Here is the summary table:
The black squares indicate where I forgot to screenshot the data [...]
More on the Ghostwolf Nerf
Looks like I’m not the only one peeved by this hotfix:
Several hunters wasted a lot of cash getting the needed items to make it possible, based on the blue statement that this would stay as it was a creative use of in-game mechanisms
Big Bear Butt Blogger feels like me but writes it a lot better: [...]
A pointless nerf?
As seen on Mania’s Arcania, Blizzard applied a hotfix preventing taming of the Ghost Wolf in the future, and reversing their previous stance on the matter.
Apparently they spent hours agonizing over this and decided to pull the plug (while at least allowing people who already tamed theirs to keep it).
I’m all for cutting Blizzard a [...]
No, Shorsha, Causing a Huntard to Leave doesn’t make you a Jerk
Often, PUGs are a lot better than what the constant barrage of horror stories suggest, and with the bad reputations such random gathering of people have, there’s ample opportunity to be pleasantly surprised when things work out well.
Sometimes, though, you do run into genuinely bad players, who do not just play subpar but will also [...]
Melee Hunters: an Aberration due to poor Class Design?
I was leveling my mage in Southern Barrens a bit last night, and there, right before my horrified eyes, I had another sample of that sorry excuse for a huntard, the sadly still-too-common Melee Hunter.
Now while I have a whole complement of hunters spread across 5 servers (I had to check) all sitting around level [...]
Guild Applications: How to Make it Harder On Yourself
I had to laugh at a recent guild application, which reminded me of some funny ones we’d get in my old pre-TBC guild which I would routinely scan and respond to on the web site (I was more or less informally the guild’s PR officer at that time).
So here’s a little list of things to [...]
More Fragment woes
Getting the right groups is still as much a challenge as on the old, almost deserted server we were on previously, probably because most of the people on the new one are totally sick and tired of running the same instances over and over.
I got lucky and nabbed a run to SV on Tuesday. I [...]
