PC Gamer UK Gives the Scoop on Cataclysm
PC Gamer UK’s special April issue – the MMO issue – is about to hit shelves in England, and apparently has a plethora of info on World of Warcraft’s next expansion, Cataclysm. While not officially endorsed by Blizzard, the article should at least contain some good detective work that may at least bring some new [...]
And Thus, a Sigh of Relief: Frozen Orbs Greed Only
Alright, so it’s not anything Earth-shattering… or is it? Blizzard let slip the fact that the ever-sought-after Frozen Orbs will become a greed roll only in 3.3.3 – meaning that, finally, everyone will get a fair chance at the useful drop, as opposed to stacking the roll with "need" selections. Check out Blizzard’s official comment [...]
Let’s talk about healing…
More specifically, PVP healing.
Basically I need, quite desperately, an add-on that will tell me who is in range of my heals and need one.
When I’m in BGs or WG it’s intensely frustrating to see peoples health go down in the raid display, but I can’t see if they’re in range, so I usually waste a [...]Cataclysm in PC Gamer UK, Blue posts

Automatic greed rolls for Frozen Orbs in 3.3.3
Wryxian:Yeah it just takes one person to press Need after everyone’s pressed Greed on the Frozen Orbs and you miss out. But the good news is that in patch 3.3.3 this won’t be the case anymore — the roll for Frozen Orbs will be an automatic Greed roll. Rejoice!

happy birthday Chuck! I can’t believe he’s 70!Blizzard = drug dealer
I understand the reason Blizzard charges a subscription fee for WoW; they are constantly having to maintains servers and work on patches. But I’m not so keen on paying for the game up front AND paying a subscription fee: $20 for Burning Crusade, then $40 for WotLK… and you know it will be another $40 [...]
Patch 3.3.3 Notes Updated Once More
See, we told you! It’s nearly the end of the week, and patch 3.3.3 is still languishing in PTR purgatory, waiting to be perfected before being pushed live sometime soon (hopefully). There’s a reason this update isn’t live, though, because changes are still being made to the effects 3.3.3 will bring.

Guild Drama. Whee >_>
Ok, as of right now I think I see someone trying to hack my friend’s account. I have no proof but the rest of the guildies don’t buy he’s the GM, and when he “by accident” gave GM-ship to someone else… yeah.
I can’t quit the guild to keep a distance from the situation (it’ll make [...]Patch 3.3.3 PTR Build 11655, Blue posts

After giving us a rundown of the new Mastery system planned for Cataclysm, World of Warcraft developers answered a few burning questions that players had asked. Naturally, most people seem to be worried about what this means for hybrid classes.

Are you excited for 3.3.5’s Ruby Sanctum? Or perhaps just anxious to give 3.3.3’s UI and move updates a whirl? It’ll have to wait, sadly, because so far the PTR servers for 3.3.3 have been less than successful.
Well, alright, that’s a little harsh – better things go wonky on PTR servers than actual realms – [...]
