10:59 am	Arena Tournament second qualifiers date still TBA "Apparently, there's been confusion as to when the second qualifying rounds for World of Warcraft's arena tournaments will be taking place. The matter was brought up specifically by player Kobk, who was speaking for a friend. According to Kobk, there seemed to be conflicts with the dates for the second qualifier, and the date for the tourney's final phase: ""Phase 3 – The Final Phase – Active from May 6, 2008 to May 20, 2008"" When I first saw this I was disoriented, because the live event is June 28th-29th, where the world finals for the 3v3 tournament were supposed to be held. So I looked for exact dates on the second round, and found this in the restrictions page. The finals for this tourney ARE supposed to at the WWI correct. ""The Second Qualification Round of the Tournament shall commence on June 3, 2008 at approximately 11:00 AM Pacific Standard Time ( 6:00 PM GMT) (subject to 'Server Maintenance' to be performed by Sponsor) and end on July 15, 2008 at 2:00 AM"" So, when are the second qualifiers really going to kick in. Bornakk passed by the thread to clarify that Blizzard will be releasing exact dates for the WoW arena's Phase Two soon. The moderator further notes that they also have yet to make any announcements regarding the time and venue for the regional qualifiers. What this may mean is that the previous dates that were set by the devs are outdated. We advise the readers to keep checking QJ or Blizzard's Arena Tournament Forums in the event that more information regarding this matter is found. The9, Blizzard to bring Wrath of the Lich King to mainland China This latest expansion is definitely oozing with awesome features. You guys can get to experience the Death Knight, the first Hero class. Aside from this, the level cap has been increased to 80. Furthermore, players will get to take part in epic siege warfare throughout the game. Also, you can fully customize the look of characters with it, as well as venture into new dungeons such as the Utgarde Keep. Having said what's in store in the months ahead, these tidbits of information should make you guys jump for joy. wow europe Don't forget to come back to this space for more exciting news and useful updates on the game. " " It's standard operating procedure for MMORPG servers to go down periodically for maintenance. Blizzard's World of Warcraft servers aren't exempted from this. What player Shinyee wanted to know, however, was whether the Tournament Realm servers would be going down with the rest of the regular servers for maintenance today. For some reason, WoW player Shinyee needed to know before the end of last night. wow gold kauf The player even requested for a quick response. Fortunately, Blizzard blue poster Bornakk obliged Shinyee with the following statement: ""When all realms go down for maintenance, the Tournament Realms will as well."" Considering how Blizzard mentioned that the Tournament Realms were stable, it makes sense that the company would take steps to keep them that way. It is curious for some players of World of Warcraft that Blizzard has decided to give Elven Druids both poison spells Cure Poison and Abolish Poison, while leaving Tauren Druids with just the latter one. gold wow Clearly, this looks to be a bug. Blizzard community manager Bornakk was patrolling the forums at that time and clarified the issue with other players. After other players confirmed the issue, Bornakk immediately filed a report with the developers. While the representative was quick to respond, we regret to inform you that the solution will not come anytime soon. cheap world of warcraft gold " "There have been a number of players who complained about the art used on the new badge items in Blizzard's World of Warcraft. Community Manager Nethaera answered these concerns from the players on the MMORPG's official forums. She started off by reminding players to be a little more tactful with their complaints and to give specific examples of what they don't like about the current system. After that, she explained how the developers came up with the designs: The new badge rewards (for Fury of the Sunwell) were designed to fit in with the theme of the Blood Elves just as the Zul'Aman gear fits in with the theme of Zul'Aman. wowgold It is pretty much impossible for Blizzard to please everyone when it comes to certain design decisions such as art used in the game since beauty is subjective. This blogger feels that they're doing a pretty good job on this, and he's pretty sure that there are others out there that feel the same way. What do you think.

10:58 am	World of Warcraft Tournament Realms go down "If you were having a hard time connecting to Blizzard's World of Warcraft Tournament Realm, it's because the servers were recently shut down for some urgent maintenance. You shouldn't have any problems with it now though since the realm is up and running Community Manager Bornakk has announced that they will be providing updates in case any more issues come up. Unfortunately, he failed to give any details on the specific problems which prompted the developers to shut down the realms. Furthermore, Bornakk's post seems to hint that users may still encounter a few more problems while accessing the realm. We're going to be keeping an eye out for any updates regarding this issue, still, we're hoping that whatever caused the developers to take down the realms has already been resolved so WoW players can play without any interruptions. WoW Wallpaper: Mias the Putrid We all know too much computer exposure is bad for your eyes. Now if you really can't take your self away from World of Warcraft, why not try the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game. Even Blizzard wants you to. In fact, the latest official wallpaper to come out for Warcraft features Mias the Putrid - a visual treat using artwork from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game. Blizzard partnered with Upper Deck to bring us this card game where you can still immerse yourself in the lore of your favorite massively multiplayer online game without even connecting to the Internet. Over at the official website, Blizzard provides more WoWTCG art wallpapers and even a demo deck. If you still need a little persuasion about the game, we recommend you visit QJ.NET's primer on World of Warcraft Trading Card Game. Everything you need to know to get started is in here. More updates as we get them. " "About a month ago, Dr. Tanya Byron made headlines regarding her review on video game violence. Now, she's has taken the spotlight once again with a BBC TV show she wrote and hosted. Through it, she linked video game to heroin addiction. wow gold kaufen In her show, Byron delved deeper to the world of gaming by talking about several situations gamers are in. She went as far as to compare playing video games to cocaine or even heroin addiction. One of her interviewees was Michelle Hart, a 39-year-old World of Warcraft addict. wow gold cheapest Hart said she's been playing the MMORPG for two years and spends most of her free time playing it. With her situation, Byron commented, ""It might seem ludicrous to compare a childish computer fantasy game with hard drug addiction. But addiction counselors offering treatment to gamers argue that there are key similarities in the way that the consumer gets hooked into coming back for more."" Aside from Hart, Stephen Noel-Hill was another interviewee by Byron. lotro gold Noel-Hill was revealed to be a recovering gaming addict. He was able to establish a recovery clinic in Amsterdam which welcomed game addicts. Noel-Hill believed that ""computer gaming has become an addiction every bit as pernicious as more conventional drugs."" Before ending the show, Byron stressed the fact the video games could cause harm to those who are addicted to it. gold wow She said: If we combine the pleasurable aspects of gaming or gambling with an individual who has other psychological or emotional needs, it become more obvious how this behavior can become addictive. if you guys have something to share regarding the latest work of Tanya Byron, feel free to comment using the space below." "In the lore of World of Warcraft MMORPG, Gruul the Dragonkiller is probably the most popular known Gronn around. And everybody familiar with WoW knows the Gronns are considered to be immortal demi-gods of the Ogre race. Gruul, for those of you who are yet to encounter him, is the final boss of the raid dungeon Gruul's Lair in the Blade's Edge Mountains. wow powerleveling Out of curiosity or even sheer terror perhaps, some players in the official World of Warcraft Forums are wondering how exactly does Gruul, or the whole Gronn race for that matter, is able to defeat dragons. While Gronns are very powerful beings, they are not exactly known for range attacks.

10:58 am	the guys running Booty Bay "Having trouble trying to contact Landro Longshot to redeem your World of Warcraft Trading Card game goodies. If your problems involves having a Hated reputation with the Booty Bay faction, then you've got the same problem as player Lieandra. The player reports a bug that causes Longshot to spawn a Booty Bay Bruiser every time somebody with hated rep with Booty Bay attempts to talk to him. What's strange here is that Longshot doesn't have any connection with the Steamwheedle Cartel, the guys running Booty Bay. The good news is that Blizzard has already caught wind of this bug, and that fixes have already been implemented. As Hortus explained in a follow-up post: The changes to guard spawns have been made. As I said before you will still have to deal with the guards but it should be easier now. I've found that if you stand behind Landro it should be possible to speak with him without too much difficulty. Being a Bloodsail Buccaneer is not meant to be easy. Dealing with the Booty Bay guards is the price you pay for the second coolest hat in the game (mine being the coolest). Hortus' headgear, in case you're wondering, is a Gnomish Mind Control Cap. Just keep the mod's advise in mind the next time you try to redeem your high-level loot over at Booty Bay. Stick around in case we receive word of any related updates. " "As Hortus' old signature used to say, ""Random does not mean fair."" Player Dotsofdeath reports over at the World of Warcraft forums that there seems to be a bug with regards to the Transmute sub-skill for the Alchemy profession. As the player explained, he had been having no luck getting procs over the time he attempted to transmute certain materials (skyfire, earthstorms, etc.), and that other players were reporting similar problems. Blizzard representative Hortus dropped by the WoW Forums to explain that it's not a bug: We've verified that tradeskills are procing correctly. The nature of random chance and very large numbers means that sometimes somewhere some people will have long streaks without procs, and sometimes somewhere some people will have several procs in a row. To put it simply: It's just a matter of bad luck. If you happen to be among those having the same problems as Dotsofdeath, cheer up. After all, it may just be a matter of time before you start cashing in on those ""procs in a row"" that Hortus speaks of. Drop by again in case we run into any more related reports.

10:50 am	Blizzard on the link between Wrath of the Lich King and the Fury of the Sunwell "Over at the World of Warcraft forums, Shimarenda from the Cenarion Circle quoted lines from an interview of Tom Chilton and GameSpy. The quote pointed out that Chilton and the design team got their feedback from pretty popular and well respected players in the arena community. Chilton added that one of their class designers is actually the guild leader of one of the most well-known PvP guilds in the world. Regarding this matter, Shimarenda's wondered if there's a possibility that Chilton could develop some contact in the role-playing community, which make a big chunk of the MMORPGs population. As for the developments being addressed by the developers, Blizzard representative said, ""There isn't a lot I can say right now, but we do plan to continue developing things that are for role playing."" Well, it isn't that much. But there's still something that role-players can look forward to in the future, like our daily updates on the game. Be sure to check up on our site for that. Blizzard on the link between Wrath of the Lich King and the Fury of the Sunwell Seeing links and patterns between various things can be an enlightening experience. Speaking of which, did you know that there is a connection between the Fury of the Sunwell update, World of Warcraft lore, and the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. J.

J. <a www.gamesavor.com="" wow="" href="http://www.&lt;a href=">wowgold</a>.fr"&gt;wow fr Allen Brack and Chris Robinson of Blizzard talked a little bit about it in a recent interview. According to Brack and Robinson, the Fury of the Sunwell is all about giving closure to the major story arcs of The Burning Crusade. These involve the new races that Blizzard introduced in TBC - the Blood Elves and the Draenei, as well as the dark triumvirate of Illidan, Lady Vashj, and Kael'thas Sunstrider. <a href="http://www.gamesavor.com">gold wow</a> Brack and Robinson also admitted to having picked up a few lessons from The Burning Crusade - lessons which will bear fruit in Wrath of the Lich King. <hr />For one thing, they lamented the main bad guys' previous lack of visibility, so WoW players will find themselves at odds with Arthas from the very beginning of the next expansion. On top of that, Blizzard will also offer players a choice of two starting areas next time around: the Borean Tundra of the Howling Fjord. <a href="http://www.gamesavor.com/WOW/WorldOfWarcraft-DE.aspx">wow geld</a> Finally, Brack and Robinson also mentioned that Blizzard has learned the value of taking chances. Proof of this principle will be reflected in the next expansion's departure of the visual style of The Burning Crusade. " "Wondering what will happen to Naxxramas when Wrath of the Lich King goes live in World of Warcraft. You're not the only one. <a href="http://www.gamesavor.com">wow gold cheap</a> You might be interested to know that Community Manager Bornakk gave out a few interesting facts regarding the dungeon, namely attunement as well as the difficulty level of the instance. Bornakk clarified that Naxxramas is supposed to be more of an entry level raid dungeon in Wrath of the Lich King and not the hardest dungeon in the game. Here's a description of how they expect the raid to run: Naxxramas is planned to be the entry-level 25 person dungeon. We do still plan to also do the type of raid dungeons like Gruul's Lair that are short shots right to the main boss. <a href="http://www.gamesavor.com">wow gold buy</a> With regards to attunement however, the developers have not yet made a final decision on it since they are still discussing the merits of having it in the instance. Bornakk said that while they like having special quest lines available and such, they also ""like having content be more available to players."" Free character migration on select PVP servers If you think your World of Warcraft realm is getting a little bit too crowded, you might want to know that Blizzard has opened character migration once again from the highest populated PvP realms to the lowest populated servers in Europe. According to Community Manager Vaneras' post, players from Crushridge, Outland, Burning Legion, and Stormscale can now transfer to the Burning Blade, Haomarush or Dentarg. <hr />In addition, players from Warsong can also move to Stonemaul. Like the previous offers of free migration, the option to do so may be closed at any time should the destination realm's population ""rise too high.""

2:24 pm	Multi mob pull "Ok so we just got more than we can handle and I am tanking 3 mobs with no offtank. Attack my target would you. I only have so much rage to spread around. If you start shooting something that I am not concentrating on your going to pull aggro, then I have to decide whether I let you die, or whether I go pull it off of you and risk letting the rest of the party die while they keep attacking the thing I was attacking. The “F” key works great for this too. The off tanks target Just because I am the main tank does not mean that my target is the most important target to kill. In fact, often it is the opposite. I am the main tank because I take the best beating. wow honor leveling The Hunters wind serpent that is tanking that other orc over there wont hold up as well as me. His target needs to die first. My target should be the last one to die. Those other tanks aren’t built to take the abuse I do, help them out. I will be ok, I have all kinds of squishies watching my back. wow level service Seriously, go fight the other guy’s target. someone finally published exactly what I have been preaching. But I would like to add a lil something. Mages, hunters, locks, and all others. Your minion, pets, and pyros have no place in a pull. If I pull, as the main tank and we have a couple to deal with, let me pull. wow lvl service The mobs will automatically come to the tank and its makes it much easier for me to do my sunders and shield slams to gain aggro on both of them. If someone else pulls, I now have to chase them and try to gain aggro. Team work is the key to all runs. Let the tank do his job which includes doing the pulling. " "RP (Roleplaying) The roleplaying servers use the same ruleset as PvE realms, with the exception that players must act and behave in character, and must follow ""naming rules"" when they name their character. On these realms, players act and speak as their characters would, and anything said out of character is usually preceded by ""OOC:"" or presented in ((double parentheses)). wow gold It is also against the rules to be off-topic in all public channels, such as General and Trade.[19] RP-PvP (Roleplaying Player versus Player) The roleplaying PvP realms are an extension to the role-playing realms that use the PvP ruleset instead of the Normal (PvE) ruleset. Blizzard did not initially have this server type when the game was launched; it was added later.[20] Public test realm A public test realm, also called a test server, is used to test features in development for the next patch. Players can copy a character to the test realm or can sometimes copy a premade character. wow power leveling Players on test realms may encounter character wipes, item wipes, or frequent downtime to make changes or apply patches. Users may have up to ten characters per realm and up to a maximum of fifty characters per account.[21] Characters can be moved between realms in the same region (e.g., from one European server to another, but not from a European server to an American one) for a fee. Blizzard posts announcements on the login screen of World of Warcraft and on the official forums about realm status or other technical issues. The status for each realm can also be viewed on their main website. " .

2:23 pm	bear OT or other Warr OT, when should you taunt off of me? "Um, really close to never. Why on earth are you taunting off of me. Are you trying to prove a point. Are you trying to demonstrate that you can tank as well as me. wow honor leveling Great for you! You have tank buttons too. Now I have to burn my taunt to pull the mob back off of you so you don”t die, or so the healer doesn”t waste mana on you. Now my taunt is in cool down if I need it. The only time you should taunt off the main tank is if I ask you to. When will that happen. Only if the healer dies and I need to bandage, or if it’s a fight that requires a tank rotation. wow level service That’s it. Now of course there are times when things are confusing, something is chewing on the healer and you are trying to save the day and I taunt and then you do too. That”s fine, you did the right thing in saving the healer, don”t beat yourself up about it, you don’t need to apologize to me for it either. I saw what happened, I”m 4% smarter than I look. When should you bubble me. I hope this is a priest asking this, I really don’t need divine intervention thanks. If you bubble me I don’t get threat from taking damage. wow lvl service Don’t bubble me before a pull. Don’t bubble me early in a pull. If my bar is mostly red, sure if you think I need the extra mitigation and there isn”t time for a real heal, bubble me. Don’t BOP me please, it’s a fantastic way to kill healers " "The New movie is called warcraft the movie, not wow: the movie, so why can the article be found under world of warcraft and not under warcraft universe.

I am considering either linking it to the screenwriter article, or placing it in double quotes to highlight it's non-literal usage. Also, commenting on the above comment that the film in question is not a World Of Warcraft movie, the cited article's first line is """"World of Warcraft"" is heading to the world of film."".

Ok here is what I mean, we will use a mage for this example but the same applies to rogues hunters, or anything else not a warrior or a bear druid. As a fight commences both of us have two bars. We both have big full green health bars. Under my health bar is a big empty bar. Under your health bar is a big full blue bar. When you do dmg, it drains your blue bar. When I give or take dmg it fills my red bar. You have all the ammo you need at the start of a fight to make all kinds of threat which will pull all kinds of aggro. I don’t have much ammo to generate threat or take aggro, it takes me a minute. The difference is that at the beginning of the fight, your threat making resource; mana, is full. wow honor leveling You at this moment can activate whatever ability you want and instantly create tons of threat. Mine is empty. My resource, rage, fills up as I give and take dmg. Over the course of the fight I will get a lot to spend, so the longer the fight goes on the more and more threat I make. Problem is at the beginning of the fight I have little or no rage. It takes me time to build the threat to hold aggro off of you. So what does this mean to you. wow level service It means that if you start every pull with your biggest most evil 10 second cast fireball, it”s gonna be real tough for me to get aggro off of you with my empty rage bar. How to apply this advice: You need to learn to pace your dps. Whether you are a mage or a rogue or a lock whatever (except hunters who feign death whenever the cooldown is up) start off the fight with lighter lower dmg attacks. As the fight wears on rank it up to the bigger meaner stuff. You can do the same amount of dmg, but instead of front loading all of your dps (and threat) back load it. Seriously, this is the biggest problem I see with every single DPS class in the game. Yes, I can taunt the mob off of you, but then the taunt is on cool down. What if the mob then does an aggro wipe like a knock down and it goes after you. wow lvl service What if it stuns me right after I taunt so I can’t build threat. You should be trying to play in such a way that you don”t ever have to see the warrior taunt outside of extenuating circumstances like aggro wipes. " "The New movie is called warcraft the movie, not wow: the movie, so why can the article be found under world of warcraft and not under warcraft universe.

11:11 am	Prepare for the Zombie Apocalypse "We have blasted through malls and ghost towns full of zombies, but are you ready for the zombie apocalypse. No, seriously. guild wars gold After all the humorous books and online quizzes about survival, someone has been taking a real world approach for the past five years: Zombie Squad realizes that it is quite possible for someone to live their entire lives without encountering the undead nuisance. However, we hold fast to the belief that if you are prepared for a scenario where the walking corpses of your family and neighbors are trying to eat you alive, you will be prepared for almost anything. Have you even backed up your computer. The Red Cross has some guidance on how to prepare in case of fire, flood, or terrorist attack. wow profession leveling You have already learned the critical lesson of looking up for aliens on the ceiling. Check your smoke alarms while you are at it. The depth behind ARGs and MMO’s I poked my nose into The Lost Ring on Thursday night, and man, did I get sucked in. The Lost Ring is a very large-scale ARG designed by Jane McGonigal, one of the designers behind I Love Bees. wow leveln It’s tied in with the 2008 Olympics and they’re really making it a global event — the game characters all speak/blog/write different languages, the clues are all in Esperanto, and objects are scattered all over the world. Anyway, as I finally pulled myself out of the rabbit hole this evening, it’s occurred to me that there’s an important similarity between ARGs and MMO’s that tends to make them powerful experiences for those involved, and that is that both types of games are a lot closer to real life than other types of games. I’m not talking about sensory things, like graphics and sound (ARGs are especially good at those!). I’m talking about higher-level gameplay mechanics like relationship building and teamwork. wow eu In the case of MMO’s, you also have things like economics and sometimes ecologies. Compared to mechanics like maneuvering tactics or aiming in an FPS, these are a lot more interesting than. They involve more parts of ourselves — more of our brain, and more of our heart. And they’re usually more relevant to the rest of our lives, as well. One of Raph Koster’s claims in A Theory of Fun (wow, $150 for a copy now. wow lvl service Time for a reprint, Raph) is that fact that much of the emotional feeling of “fun” is actually our brain’s reaction to learning something. I think it’s true, and I also think there’s potential for a deeper, more meaningful sort of fun when the things we are learning reach deeper into us and have greater relevance to our overall lives.

11:09 am	Behavioral Economics in MMOs, Part 2 "If you said “both” or “neither,” then you are more likely to be acting rationally. The savings in both cases is $7. However, most people will instinctively travel to save on the pen, but not for the suit, because the percentage difference is so small in the case of the suit, while it’s so great in the case of the pen, that it overpowers rational economic thoughts. guild wars gold In either case, $7 should either be worth or not worth your time. Take a look at how you behave when playing on an alt on a server where you’ve already got an established main in WoW. When you start out, you have the usual 16 slots of bagspace, and it rapidly begins to fill up with quest items and vendor trash. How often have you stood there for a minute, trying to figure out whether to throw out the scorpid husk (3 coppers, but it stacks up to 5) or the warped staff (9 coppers), when you’ve got a character, on the same server, that can walk 30 paces out the door of the inn in Zangarmarsh and make 100 times either of those amounts by killing an animal or two. wow profession leveling And likely can do it in the time that you’ve been dithering over a couple of coppers. Players get it stuck in their head that figuring out the loot to carry on their current character matters, when it’s ultimately a means to an end, in game terms. This brings us to the idea of anchor prices: points where we get stuck on the idea of a certain item costing or being worth X because of how we think about it. In a study mentioned in the book, researchers had students take the last two digits of their social security numbers and think about whether they would be willing to pay that much in dollars for each of four items (one bottle of good wine, one bottle of okay wine, a nice keyboard and an decent but not great mouse) . In other words, if the last two digits of their social was 23, would they pay $23 for the good bottle, would they pay $23 for the okay bottle, etc. wow leveln They then auctioned off the items. Generally, people did not pay more than they said they would. However, the interesting bit is that the participants with the higher last two digits would generally pay more for the items than those with the lower digits, because they had thought about the items in relation to higher prices. For an example of this in action in MMOs, a new server recently opened up in WoW that won’t allow any transfers for 6 months. wow eu In other words, all of the characters on the server are brand new; I played on it the first night, and there were several hundred gnomes and dwarves running around the starting area. We were all very impressed when a level 12 human warrior ran by only a few hours after the server opened up. In other words, the server should have had nowhere near the inflation that established servers had, simply because no one had any money. wow lvl service However, when one went to look at the auction house, there were still people attempting to get, for example 20+ silver for stacks of linen cloth, presumably because that’s how much they could get on their home server. In other words, they had attached to 20s as the price for a stack of linen cloth. More next time, including the economic effects of naked night elves and the psychology of ninja looting. Then, on to how to fix MMOs forever! Maybe. " .

11:06 am	Two Point Four aka The Last Freebie "Recent changes in my Real Life have forced my Online Life to pretty much be non-existent. A full time job and full time college will do that to you, plus lots of other personal obligations, such as helping my wife study for her classes - which she passed, with flying red, white, and blue colors and became an American Citizen just yesterday - but I do miss being able to pass my days away in Warcraft. guild wars gold Especially now that we have ‘the new shiney’ of patch 2.4. This patch, which if you play WoW you know about, and have known about since December likely as not, introduced a brand new island full of quest and/or event NPC’s. I only managed to squeak out an hour of playtime in the new lands so far, including the first 5-man dungeon, and was impressed with the flavor. wow profession leveling I’m a player who enjoys some story with my mindless questing, and reading over the progression I found it to make a lot of sense. It takes the concepts of the AQ War Effort, mixes them with the sheer brilliance (at least to me) of Daily Quests, and plops them down in the eye-watering land of pink and red that is Sunwell. While I know many of the players in my guild are making plans for the unlocked heroic badge loot, I have a much more simple goal, which probably says more about where I came from than you’d expect, and that is to get that 1000 gold title. wow leveln Oh, and the illusion orb from MGT. Mmmm, illusion happiness. The zone unwinds itself as being unlocked, and will be unlocked fairly quickly, unless, and this is a hope, the unlocking works similar to WoW existing reputation system. Some realms are reporting over 85% finished with stage one (of 4 main stages and several sub stages), less than 24 hours after the servers came up. wow eu While the quests will not be lost after the phase unlocks, only changed, a major event that ends up lasting only a week seems a bit…dull. Especially when you consider that this zone will be the last major release before the next expansion, which still has no date, nor confirmed beta. I doubt anyone thinks that Blizzard has not started on it, but no beta has yet been announced. wow lvl service I’ve seen sites listing as early as a May 28, 2008 date (EBGames had this up at one point, currently showing 11/03/08), nothing official has come out, besides the statement that this would be the last major patch before WoTLK. If you haven’t been in the game recently, the 2.4 patch seems to be a good time filler for the multitudes of bored 70’s roaming the game, and will likely keep a lot of us busy for a good while. It is definitely a good pocket filler as far as cash is concerned, and in WoW, gold is worth its weight in repair bills. " .

10:58 am	when should you taunt off of me? "really close to never. Why on earth are you taunting off of me. wow eu Are you trying to prove a point. Are you trying to demonstrate that you can tank as well as me. Great for you! You have tank buttons too. wow euro Now I have to burn my taunt to pull the mob back off of you so you don”t die, or so the healer doesn”t waste mana on you. Now my taunt is in cool down if I need it. The only time you should taunt off the main tank is if I ask you to. When will that happen. wow power leveling Only if the healer dies and I need to bandage, or if it’s a fight that requires a tank rotation. That’s it. Now of course there are times when things are confusing, something is chewing on the healer and you are trying to save the day and I taunt and then you do too. That”s fine, you did the right thing in saving the healer, don”t beat yourself up about it, you don’t need to apologize to me for it either. wow powerleveling I saw what happened, I”m 4% smarter than I look. When should you bubble me. I hope this is a priest asking this, I really don’t need divine intervention thanks. If you bubble me I don’t get threat from taking damage. wow power level Don’t bubble me before a pull. Don’t bubble me early in a pull. If my bar is mostly red, sure if you think I need the extra mitigation and there isn”t time for a real heal, bubble me. Don’t BOP me please, it’s a fantastic way to kill healers. " .

""Greenskin town would be good for stealing fish... wow honor leveling I'll have to attack if I want to get to the two legged fanged ones... They might be the key to winning this war."" Walking to where his forces were assembled, Echeyakee roared loud to stop the chattering amongst the Pack Hunters. ""Brave lions! Prepare yourselves! We will attack the tiny greenskin town!"" Echeyakee yelled and was instantly met by a cheer of bloodthirsty approval. ""We attack for food! And for the chance of an alliance!"" Again Echeyakee was met by a roar of approval.

Said another. wow lvl service Silence prevailed over the three ruling lions until finally, the third lion spoke up. ""So this means we have three options.

Whoever is Pride keeper gets to choose two of the people who sign up as Pride Watchers as their pride watcher. wow gold If not enough people signs up as pride watchers, the pride keepers can make their own pride watcher.

2:20 pm	"fiction:Teppodama the killer "Teppodama - Stormwind ======= Tepp watched the dagger sail true, but a leather-clad hand easily slapped it away. He stepped from the shadow, and for a brief moment Tepp could do nothing but stare. The troll’s tusk on the left side of his face was broken, and she stared at it hard for a moment. Not him. It wasn’t a troll anyway. wow honor He was looking at her with annoyance, and the square surrounding them was very quiet. Shellene began ushering the children back toward the Cathedral district, stumbling over stones as she went. She dared not get closer to Tepp, as Tepp was already a goner as far as Shellene could tell. What could she do against that beast anyway. Troll moved. Fast! He was behind her in an instant and she felt something begin burning her eyes. She coughed, and her eyes teared as she stumbled back and forth. Her inner ear was off and more than once she fell to the ground. She could hear his laughter. The man who had saved her was slapped aside easily as he tried to intervene. wow profession leveling Tepp heard his bare, wet feet slip, and another splash. He would have to swim to the other side to get out again. It would be a minute, maybe two before he returned to help. calm....Calm...CALM. Tepp’s mind was once again ice. The fury had faded, the fear had faded, and all that remained was a calmness that should have alarmed her. She continued to stumble back and forth, as if disoriented. It wasn’t hard to fake because the blinding powder still burned. The Troll continued to laugh, and she knew that as long as he laughed she was safe. Her vision began to clear, and slowly she turned to face him. “Maz’og!” he said, clapping his hands in a derisive and derogatory manner. What he said, she didn’t know. It was obvious he was applauding what he viewed as the final scene. Her death. Tepp knew death though, and what she saw behind him gave her hope. “Goodbye.” She whispered. He frowned at her, and tilted his head sideways. wow gold For a brief moment he shrugged, then pulled a wicked and cruelly barbed dagger from his hip. He grinned at her. A grin that suddenly turned to alarm as a steel arm shot through his left side. The hooked sword came out in a spray that splattered Tepp across the face. The troll wasn’t dead yet though, already she could see his skin begin to knit underneath his leather. He started to turn drunkenly and that’s when she moved. wow lvl service She knelt and grabbed the dagger that he had deflected against the wall with his hand, the one she had subtly moved toward while she pretended to be blinded for that extra few seconds. She moved forward and threw her whole weight into the attack. It staggered him, but she knew it hadn’t even been a scratch compared to the other wound he suffered. He turned slightly and threw her off with a leather-clad fist. It was an opening however, and the troll’s attacker finished the job he had started with a swift horizontal strike of his sword. “Are you alright. ” His voice was quiet, and he was dressed sort of like the troll. Hardened and darkened leather covered him, and a blood-red mask covered his face. Tepp looked up over the headless corpse of the troll, and suddenly knew what she wanted to be when she grew up. " .

1:19 pm	Solo Druid "Well unfortunately, until you get to Outland, as a feral weapons are damn near worthless since the only thing you can use off of them is the stats. You could go levels without upgrading the thing as the stats don't get much better until you get your first feral staff from an early Outland quest. cheap wow gold As for how important they are to getting to level 70, well just like any class, the more powerful the gear, the faster you can get things done. You probably should just focus on going feral and gear stamina, strength. and agility looking for any weapon with feral attack power bonuses. You will barely need to drink when soloing and you should be able to kill things pretty fast especially once you get mangle at 50 (assuming you spec 41 points into feral). buy cheap wow gold One thing to remember though. druids probably scale best from just leveling. One reason people bitched about them being OP at the beginning of BC. sell wow gold But as soon as everyone got their gear, they started going back to a normal level. in some cases underpowered I hear because druids don't scale well with their gear like Warriors or Paladins. really cheap wow gold But regardless. you do better with gear than without so try to look for some gear to try and keep your abilities up. but don't spend a lot of time working on gearing up your toon before Outland. fast wow gold The upgrades are minimal and take a lot of time to get in some cases.get replaced quickly as you level, and the items really get good come your first few quests in Outland that will up your stats by at least 25% with your first few pieces." .

This might have something to do with reminders of what every button is used for (by default) printed on each key.wow honor leveling. And while the basic uses for these keys might not seem all that utilitarian, the shift and control keys are printed in green and yellow rather than white, and similarly their functions on each key are printed in these colors. You probably never knew that bringing up your pet's spell book could be reached by pressing Control-I! There's even a dedicated key for those of you who use voice chat programs like TeamSpeak and Ventrillo. The final feature involves the function keys.wow level service.

Overall, the team at Ideazon did probably everything they could with World of Warcraft, but aside from the keyboard itself feeling cramped and uncomfortable for my fingers (which is the same reason I can't stand using laptop keyboards,) the specialized keyset really just provides quick access to things that I either don't need or am so used to typing anyway that I don't know relearning the game with the buttons will make things any easier.wow or.

11:15 am	to summarize go for dps (i.e., threat) before mitigation.achat mp3 player. You’ll know when you need to add some more damage mitigation, but you’ll be surprised by what you can do if you let your assists just cut loose, all the time.wow powerlevel. Don’t intentionally nerf your dps just because you think that’s part of the main tank’s job description.wow po. When you do go for mitigation, remember what hit points are for, and remember that one of the things that makes warriors special is their high +defense.wow power leveling. Might as well use it.lord of the rings online gold. Hit points are not, by themselves, going to keep you alive. It doesn’t really matter how many hit points you have; you can have 12,000 HP and you’re still going to die in a matter of seconds in the boss fights where you anybody could conceivably have that much HP.lotro gold. The point, simply put, is that there’s a big difference between dying in 2 seconds and dying in 4.MP3 PLAYER 4GB. If you die in 2 seconds, you’re dead before your priest can cast a single greater heal.runescape gold. If you’re dead in 4, your priest can cast a greater heal. If you’re dead in 5, your priest can cast a greater heal and a renew before you go down. And so on and so forth. Hit points are, in other words, a buffer that gives your healers time to act. The longer you can last on your own, the more time your healers have to respond to the fight: your healers will thank you if they have enough time to toss a renew on the rogue, greater heal the mage who decided to AOE three elites, and then get back to you. And you will thank yourself if you can last long enough to sunder every mob in the fight before you need to be healed. There’s nothing more frustrating than responsibly going through your sunder rotation only to have your priest panic, heal you for a measly thousand HP, and pull aggro on the mob you were about to sunder but now have to chase down. The more HP you have, the less likely that is to happen. In an ideal world you don’t really need more than 3.6 seconds of survivability (the time it takes to cast the slowest heal in the game), but in the real world you need several times that at least. Just how big a buffer you need is something that only you know, based on your damage intake, your faith in the healers you generally run with, and how much damage the other members in your party take (even if you’re the perfect tank, they’ll take some damage from mob AOE). But if you stick with the idea that HP = healer reaction buffer, you’ll have a good guide to work from. If you’re a give-me-hard-numbers type, I would shoot for at least 4000-5000 HP around level 60.

Until this point the tank of Tidalvess and his healers were being hit by the Firespit totems and healing through the damage, but now you can't ignore the totem any longer.mp3 player. If you don't damage it the raid will take too much damage.mp3 players. It must be focused by ranged DPS as soon as it spawns. It will help your healers' mana a lot! Karathress now deals more melee damage because of the buff "The Beast Within".or wow. But the two healers should still be able to handle the damage easily. After Tidalvess is dead, you should split the healers as it is shown on the picture.really cheap wow gold. 4. Fighting Caribdis When Tidalvess dies, Karathress gains the "Spitfire Totem" ability. Now the Fight gets really nasty. The healers on the main tank will face a lot more damage now. As you see on the picture you can now kite Karathress in the room, so that the Spitfire Totem stands out of range of the main tank and his healers. Do not kite him in the middle of the room, or anywhere near the raid. Also, the DPS damaging Caribdis will be taking a lot of damage now. The damage from the Water Bolt Volley needs to be healed up. Some healers (but not all!) can stand outside of the range of the water bolts and heal the raid. Caribdis should be killed as quickly as possible! 5. Fighting Karathress Now you should consider the enrage timer. If you have enough time for the final stage, you should kill the Spitfire Totems as soon as they spawn. If you are running out of time, you should focus Karathress and ignore the totem. It will put considerably more strain on the healers, but you can save a lot of time and thus DPS Karathress much faster. (Comment on this)
