April 20, 2008About the Bloggers: Adam Holisky"What's the number one thing Blizzard could do better. I think Blizzard does a lot of things great. And for the size of the game, they're doing a crazy good job. I get kind of tired of some of the anti-Blizzard statements. They're the first company to host a virtual game world that has so many different levels of play, culture, and goals. This makes it more like the real world then most of us care to admit. However that said, I think Blizzard needs to challenge itself to do better. They're already miles ahead of their competition in terms of community involvement and game support. SOE doesn't even come close, and LindenLabs just isn't in the same ballpark. But, that really doesn't meant they couldn't communicate and work with the players more. I look at Blizzard as the best baseball team in the world (the Minnesota Twins, of course!) (okay, kidding...Carl Polad gutted the team this year, they have a lot of work to do. But let's sat the 2005 or 1991 Twins). Even the best baseball team needs to improve their play, and can win that one extra game. Blizzard is like that. Sometimes I wonder if all of them realize this. The best way to make money ingame is... Selling things on the AH. wow goud I have way to make 5000g in a week on the AH if I work at it. Know how to do this and become rich in game. Maybe some day I'll share how I do it... wow oro but I have a few thousand other topics to write on first. Favorite piece of loot. Bulwark of Azzinoth. I will have it soon. or wow Yes, my preciousssss. When I'm not playing WoW, I'm... Seriously, I get paid to play a computer game. This is a dream job for me, so I try to take advantage of it as much as I can. If I'm not playing, I'm either writing, working on my course work, or hanging out with the girlfriend and my cat. world of warcraft powerleveling Oh, and for the record, my cat can tank Antheron. True story. What accomplishment in-game are you most proud of. I don't know if I can answer this without making one group or another angry. eve isk So I'll say I have a few. One is being part of an amazing tanking corps pre-BC. There were four of us who were geared to the bone, and we all got along great. Sadly this did not last, but is one the the things I'm proud of in game. RELATED LINKS: http://naicygong12.iza.ne.jp

Blizzard on griefing: deal with it."Drysc responded strongly to some QQ over at the forums when a poster from Kil'jaeden -- a PvP realm -- ranted about being griefed by high level characters while leveling up. Drysc's uncompromising response. Get some friends and fight back. He reasons that if players roll on a PvP server, they should expect to be griefed as part of the leveling process. It's the same philosophy that has prevented Blizzard from allowing character transfers from PvE to PvP realms. It really only makes sense. If players roll on a PvP server, they shouldn't complain about players from the opposing faction taking advantage of the fact that they're flagged for PvP. As Drysc explains, ""the rules of war are based around attacking when the odds are in your favor"". This could mean when opponents outnumber you, outlevel you, when you're low in health and/or if you're engaged with multiple mobs... the question isn't whether it's honorable or fair. It's war. In a PvP server, everything is fair game. There are no rules, and players certainly shouldn't bother sending tickets to GMs asking for any help (or sympathy). This should probably be common sense, but Drysc's somewhat provocative response is something of a surprise -- to many players a welcome one. While I'm all for etiquette (ganking a fisherman is just plain rude) and a personal sense of honor, players who roll on a PvP server know what they signed up for. wow powerleveling Shape up or ship out -- character transfers, after all, are just a click away. As someone in the thread said, I don't think the guy was QQing as much as he was asking why people are motivated to gank. Regardless, Drysc's response was very snarky but perhaps needed. I've been frustrated by ganking throughout my entire leveling experience, but I know what I was signing up for when I clicked the red PvP button. I leveled to 70, and 64, and 45, etc, on a PvP realm. Ganking was part of the routine. wow powerleveling I wasn't into Arena, or even BGs. And now that arena is so well-received, getting ganked is even quicker. Now that there's so much gear out there designed with the sole intention of killing people as efficiently as possible, it's just tiresome."

Blood Pact: Destro the only way to go?"Destruction banks on high shadow bolt burst damage and is often coined the ""shadow mage"" spec. Affliction is the king of sustained damage, with a full range of DoTs at an affliction lock's disposal. The interesting thing about these two trees is that their playstyles are probably as different as night and day. The destro lock is essentially a ""one-trick pony"", spending most of their time pushing a single button for shadow bolts. Since most of them will sacrifice their pet for buffs, pet management is also taken out of the equation. Affliction locks, on the other hand, generally have at least four, or even five spells in their rotation. Less spells in the rotation means less micro-management. This gives destro locks more situational awareness in an encounter, which is essential for survival in raids where there is a lot of environmental damage. On the other hand, affliction locks have more to juggle, more decisions to make and are generally ""busier"" in a fight. Many warlocks have leveled as affliction locks due to the excellent sustainability of the build. We are used to making snap decisions about DoTs on the fly and we enjoy the versatility warlocks have with respect to killing stuff: fear-kiting, drain-tanking and so on. Hence it is understandable if some affliction players complain that the destro playstyle is ""boring"" or a ""no-brainer"" - since the active interaction with what's happening on screen is cut down significantly. Blizzard also seems to want most of us to become shadow bolt spammers in the end, as Warlock tier 6 gear favors shadow bolting locks. ""Why is Blizzard not making gear tailored to our favorite build. "" is the question asked by many affliction warlocks. It is however interesting to note that on the WWS Scoreboard, a neat ranking chart based on raid data pulled from WoW Web Stats, just 10 of 15 top Warlock DPSers are 0/21/40. Out of the five who aren't destro locks, two are demonology, one is affliction and two have hybrid demo/destro builds - building for Soul Link probably. These numbers suggest that while 0/21/40 is the favored build, it doesn't seem to the runaway cookie-cutter build yet. wow powerleveling Just as we have various outfits for various situations, there might be reasons to dip into supposedly less DPS-oriented trees to gain certain key talents, particularly for greater survivability during some encounters. In light of this, raid leaders should keep an open mind about warlock builds and not insist on the ""standard"" build for warlocks under their charge. On the other hand, affliction locks who are fretting over the simplicity of the destro build should also look for a build and playstyle that really works for both themselves and their guilds. Yes, 0/21/40 is a popular endgame build, but it is not the only way to play your Warlock" "My experience has been completely opposite. eve isk I leveled as Demo till around 40, then switched to Dest. I liked Dest a lot but then I found myself often farming in the mid-50's to lvl 60 and I *hated* it. Damage was great, but downtime sucked, I often overkilled stuff/wasted mana, and all the drinking was eating into my wallet as well. wow gold So I tried the Afflic spec to make my DoTs more powerful and mana gaining abilities available/more viable. All of a sudden farming was great fun! Completely different play style, for sure. I had planned on switching back sometime, for raiding and such, but just never did. To my surprise I found myself still usually out-damaging everyone in dungeons. wow powerleveling Plus it's really valuable to be able to heal myself so well. So I kept the spec. At the point I'm at now, my DoTs are overkill for even-con mobs so I still waste mana unless fighting elites, but DoTs are cheap, and I can get mana back easily. lotro gold I may do slightly less damage than a Destlock, but it's not significant. What is significant is how flexible I am now. RELATED LINKS: http://community.mytypes.com/wowgold01/weblog

The Guild, Episode 9 released"Episode 9 of The Guild is up, and it's confrontation time. The guildies meet each other in RL again to take down the bank ninja Bladezz, but yet another boss battle looms deep on the horizon. Y'know, not that we don't love this series (we do), but has there ever been any actual gameplay footage here. Am I the only one that would kind of like to see them in their characters, maybe raiding into Karazhan or wherever else they're raiding. Maybe there's legal issues or something involved (but surely Blizzard wouldn't mind, right. ). At any rate, another fun episode for The Guild (Tink needs to get some new DS games, I beat Mario like years ago), and it seems like things are coming to a boil on this storyline. Episode 10 should be a big one. I have to say this is by far my favorite series. Even without game play footage, that is what makes it great, its not about the game play, its about the guild. Excellent work yet again. And a great thanks to one of my favorite actresses around! This series isnt about gameplay. Its a character piece. As far as relatability; Its not about being to relate, if anyone can relate to these characters, then something is wrong. The beginning of the series gave you something sort of ordinary so you could recognize the situation, then it takes it beyond average and into the area of FUNNY. runescape money Its outlandish for a reason. FANTASTIC series and awesome acting all 'round. Phenomenal series. It's evolved from a WoW thing, into a truly well developed story. ever quest platinum Can't wait to see episode 10! I think I can already see the ending though. Kinda like a, ""well what now. Well we still have that raid to finish up"" something of the kind where they all just go back to exactly what they were doing before. Best moment in the series though is definatley when they all meet up for the first time and nobody says anything, then i think its Tink says that she got an epic dagger, and everyones like WOAH. wow powerleveling Lmao, so true. This webseries and the webcomic reallifecomics are prolly the best things around that actually bring a bit of the real world to WoW." "Raiding warlocks have a very specific role - dealing damage. As we progress further in the high end-raiding game, one thing becomes more and more apparent. Our much-envied range of playstyles diminishes and we seem to be shoehorned, like other classes, into pretty much a single cookie-cutter spec. The spec in question is destruction or 0/21/40 specifically. wow This spec capitalizes on the wonderful scalability of shadow bolt and consistently outperforms affliction when good spell hit and crit gear becomes available. For a detailed look at the 0/21/40 build, check out my ""A Warlock's descent into Destruction"" article. I've recently respecced back to an affliction spec (40/0/21) just to revisit the good ol' days of mobility (instant DoTs) and an ""unending"" mana pool (Dark Pact). I know we tend to look back on the past with rose-colored glasses, and true enough, my experience with affliction again was ... lotro gold less than satisfying. Why the difference. One possible reason is the greater availability of spell hit for other DPS caster classes. lineage 2 adena This has gradually negated the DPS advantage gained by affliction locks through Suppression. In other words, the spell hit granted by Suppression to affliction locks in early raid instances like Karazhan is really ""ahead of its time"", contributing to the build's stellar performance in those instances. All three warlock talent trees get along well with our DPS role really, with different strengths in each spec. We are one of the lucky classes to get three different playstyles to do essentially the same job. RELATED LINKS: http://wowgoldmonter.vox.com/

April 11, 2008Mp3playerbuying news:Finis Updates SwiMP3 with Version 2The Cowon iAudio 7 packs up to 8GB MP3 player of memory, but it ain't exactly the thinnest player on the market with its 3.0' x 1.4" x 0.7" form factor."Druid root is very good for crowd control outdoors due to it working on any mob type, but most instances and raid zones are indoor only. Still the small 1.3" 260K TFT LCD display is an improvement with regards to video playback than the the OLED screen of its predecessor the iAudio 6.In Burning Crusade the Druid class got a new spell, Cyclone, that worked indoors as well, but with a 6 sec duration (and diminishing returns), it was only effective in limited situations. like its L2 and D2 brethren the iAudio 7 supports the FLAC and OGG codecs for you folk out there who want better than MP3 players, while supporting open format alternatives. Druids have asked loud and long for more reliable crowd control abilities. And now it looks like they might get it. Player Wisperella recently specced Moonkin and feels she would be more desirable in groups if the Druid Entangling Roots spell were usable indoors. With a 27 second duration and a 1.5 second cast time that can already be made uninterruptible through Talents, it could make Moonkin an integral part of many groups. Especially since Moonkin with their high armor won't get squished so easily trying to crowd control a mob that's pound- ing on them. Community Manager Eyonix responded that an idea along these lines is ""possible"" in the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. He couldn't guarantee that it would happen, but let us know that he has been campaigning for it ""a very long time.""

Digihedo news:Samsung P2 Gets Wi-Fi and MicroSD Slot With Cradle"Today we introduce a new brand MP3 players samsung.In February 2000 I wrote about an observation I had where a brief acquaintance of mine, who was an avid Napster user, was purchasing more CDs as a result of file sharing. Samsung's P2 is their flagship MP3/PMP players device with many features, starring the full screen touch interface.This was the first article to explore the theory that users utilized Napster, which was only a few months old at this point, to sample music for potential purchase. Bluetooth also plays a supporting role in the feature set, giving the best MP3 player the ability to connect to wireless headphones and to your mobile phone (in future updates).Like radio, file sharing had the ability to promote artists, something we now take as common fact. The near-buttonless design comes together very nicely with a solid build quality common to Samsung's portable devices.Since then there have been dozens of formal studies that supported the theory that active file shareres buy more CDs as well as a few - usually paid for by the record industry - that debunked it as myth. Wrapped inside this best MP3 player is a well thought out interface that most people will be able to just pick up and use.Interestingly, one 2002 study by Edison Research that claimed to support the record industry's take on file sharing actually supported the opposite conclusion after I dug into the data a bit. Despite a few complaints, the P2 is definitely something to consider even though it commands a higher price than similar capacity MP3 players. " .Coming to the end of the decade the habits of file sharers are still being measured and the results continue to point to the simple fact that those who trade buy more records. This latest report comes from Michael Geist who writes about a study just completed by Industry Canada titled "The Impact of Music Downloads and P2P File-Sharing on the Purchase of Music: A Study For Industry Canada". The research followed the habits of 2,000 Candians and, as Geist points out, there were two key points: When assessing the P2P downloading population, there was "a strong positive relationship between P2P file sharing and CD purchasing. That is, among Canadians actually engaged in it, P2P file sharing increases CD purchases." The study estimates that one additional P2P download per month increases music purchasing by 0.44 CDs per year. best mp3 player When viewed in the aggreggate (ie. the entire Canadian population), there is no direct relationship between P2P file sharing and CD purchases in Canada. According to the study authors, "the analysis of the entire Canadian population does not uncover either a positive or negative relationship between the number of files downloaded from P2P networks and CDs purchased. mp4 players That is, we find no direct evidence to suggest that the net effect of P2P file sharing on CD purchasing is either positive or negative for Canada as a whole." So if file sharing is so good for record sales how come CD sales are down sharply. Well, first off it is "major label" CD sales which are down. CD sales from independent labels are up, reflecting the broadening of consumer tastes as they sample more music. MP3 PLAYER 2GB Add to this former major label artists like Radiohead and Trent Reznor who now distribute records on their own. Second, records as a whole are facing increased competition from the movie, TV and gaming industries for your dollar, though this research found that heavy users of these media buy all media heavy, including CDs. Finally, there is the issue of consumer badwill, generated by the major label's inability to leverage to their favor the changes in technology that made music distribution a near zero cost. MP3 PLAYER 4GB The major labels have a severe public relations issue that has pissed off so many consumers the damage may be irreparable. One of the smaller points the reports made was that people who own MP3 players are less likely to buy CDs, signifying a consumer shift to digital media. Right now iTunes claims 85% of the paid digital market, but even here the major labels have an acrimonius relationship. mp3 players In my personal opinion a price drop, not price raise, would help that situation as would the abandonment of DRM, which would restore trust in all other services not named iTunes and build competition. Amazon is already working in that direction. No doubt the CRIA, Canada's major label lobby, will attempt to debunk the results to push upcoming copyright legislation in that country to their favor. That doesn't change the fact that the problems the industry faces goes deeper. . RELATED LINKS: http://wowgamezone.unblog.fr/

Most recently BitTorrent inc. mp4 players chose to to close the source of some of the protocol's latest enhancements in a move meant to firm up the company's control over the protocol. This latter move did not play well with the folks over at Pirate Bay who are concerned it will give BitTorrent inc. too much control over the eponymous technology. MP3 PLAYER 2GB Fearing that BitTorrent inc. will eventually wrest total control of the BitTorrent protocol a working group of coders in step with the Pirate Bay are working on a new version. The new protocol will replace BitTorrent's .torrent file with the .p2p file. MP3 PLAYER 4GB The .p2p file will be backwards compatible to ensure a smoother transfer from the old .torrent standard. The new .p2p protocol is still in the development stages and it is not known when the Pirate Bay will incorporate it into its site, but word is the initial release is due sometime next year. Erik from Mininova, another popular BitTorrent site, told TorrentFreak that they ""will absolutely support the new protocol"". mp3 players With both Pirate Bay and Mininova throwing their influence and large user base in support of the new protocol the chances of the significant adoption of .p2p is pretty good.

April 7, 2008WoW WarCry's RP Guide: Cause Knowledge Is Power"Think about all the accumulated knowledge you have about life currently stored away in your brain cells. Don't know about you, but it simply boggles my mind, and I certainly don't consider myself to be a highly intelligent person. But make no mistake, the sheer mass of data each and every one of us have would fill volumes. Everything you have learned from the minute you were born until this very moment is an immense amount, and taken together, has helped you to become the very person you are today. So, the question is: how do you share what you know now with your character at its 'birth'. Considering our true selves do not currently live in a tangible world of elves and demons, what do I need to learn as a player about such a world that would greatly enhance my roleplaying a character who does exist in such a world. Read along with me as I share some thoughts and ideas that may help you do just that. The basis for all of this comes from an incredibly important aspect of RP I learned very early in my Dungeons & Dragons days, and that is knowing the difference between player knowledge and character knowledge. Player knowledge is what you as a player know about WoW, or whatever game you are playing. Things like number crunching spell and weapon damage, where to find true silver ore nodes, the correct order for lighting the candles in the Sunken Temple, etc.. All this and so much more is knowledge that you as a player have garnered through playing WoW, from talking to other players, reading, or any other means. Character knowledge is what your avatar knows about the world it exists in, and it is one of the major points that define a roleplayer, because RP'ers have a very keen sense towards keeping it far separate from player knowledge. Since characters are not born into the world as infants, it can be reasoned they have had some experiences in their life up to the point where you take over. Your character does not know that a Flash Heal (Rank 1) spell costs 125 mana points and heals 202-247 hit points. wow honor leveling Your character may know, however, that that spell does not require as much mana to cast compared to a Flash Heal (Rank 7) spell, but that it also doesn't heal as much health as the higher level spell. There a many other examples that could be used here, but it all should be common sense that new characters just don't know all that much about their world. So, just what does your character know when you create it and log in with it for the very first time, and then for each subsequent time thereafter. " "In game, character knowledge can best be described as lore, and it is in seeking out the lore of WoW where you as a player will gain the knowledge that your character should be equipped with. From conception and on throughout the virtual life of your character, you should be continually reading the lore of WoW for the purpose of advancing its' personality (just like we do in our real lives) and enhancing your own RP factor through it. wow level service Since your character cannot learn on its' own, and we players have the advantage of living in the age of the Internet, the following websites are ones I use most often to learn for my characters. WoWWiki is one of the first places I click to for all WoW things lore-wise. It is a great base of knowledge for many other in game items also, but the already extensive and growing lore being housed here is where the site really shines for RP'ers interested in such. Specifically for new characters, I would point to the links leading to and through the Timeline as a starting place on their path of knowledge. Of course, none of the others should be missed, including Class Lore, Locations, Religions, and on, depending on just how wise and intelligent you want your character to be. Kudos to Blizzard for making the lore of the WoW universe available in game, through quests and quest givers, in Instances, and in a variety of other ways, including books. I have sat down at a table with a readable book many times to just read and learn, which I know is another mark of RP nerdiness. wow lvl service Hey, I'm guilty. However, one thing missing is an in game library where a character can go to find and read every book in WoW. I think that would be rather enjoyable, especially if Blizzard announced RP-style when new books were made available there. Fear not, players! Until that happens, simply click over to Wowhead, where you can find a fantastic (and complete. ) listing of in game books, their contents, and their locations. wow gold Of course, Wowhead has much more to offer, like listing for weapons, reagents, Factions, flora and fauna, and many other things that would be sensible starter knowledge for a new and growing character. Last but not least comes Blizzplanet, a great site not only for the Story Arcs and race lore stored there, but also for their rather large RP community, the Blizzplanet Roleplay Association. Outside of the game, you'd be hard pressed to find a better gathering place of like-minded RP'ers. It is Blizzplanet that sparked the flaming mind storm I had when I created my Troll Priest, Wichdocta, which came after reading The Loa gods Lore page there. It was an excellent page I kept going back to for some few weeks afterward as I developed Wichdocta's initial personality, and I'm sure it would help you do the same. Of course, it is entirely conceivable to RP a character who is born into WoW knowing all that there is to know about the universe therein, but I think that would strip away one of the greatest features about RP'ing: the sense of adventure. Finding out what's over the next hill by going over that hill yourself is one of the top items on the list of things that keep me logging in night after night, and I think that could be said for many other RP'ers I know. wow power leveling Also bear in mind that, while there is a ton of information on these websites, don't let that overwhelm you by thinking you need to read every page immediately. As your character moves on down their path, keep these sites close by and refer to them when you feel the need. " . RELATED LINKS: http://wowgoldmaster.iblog.com/

Mechano-Lord Capacitus:"This guy is easier than he is in normal mode if you ask me. The fight has been changed in heroic to a fight similar to Thaddius in Nax. Every thirty seconds Mechano will cast a change polarity. This will assign you a debuff that is either red (with a – sign) or blue (with a + sign). What you want to do when your party is charged is gather up in separate spots for each charge. All the positive charged in one area and all negative in another. Mechano still spawns the bombs he did in normal mode so make sure you tank him on the stairs where he is on the ground level and you are positioned halfway up the stairs on the edge. Another change to this fight is that he no longer puts up anti-melee damage shield and the spell reflect shield, so you can DPS for the entire fight. Make sure you have your party watch their agro though because the advantage to standing on top of party members with the same charge as you is that you get a % damage increase per person near each other. On the contrary, if you are next to someone who has an opposite charge, you will hit each other for around 2000 damage. After you kill the boss, go ahead and move to where he patrolled and pull the second mini boss: Gatewatcher Iron-Hand. Nothing has changed about this guy from heroic except he hits harder. wow honor leveling Make sure you dispel the shadow power and that all melee in the party out range the pelvic thrust maneuver (It’s not really called that but just look at what he does closely when the emote goes off…blizzard and their sexual subliminal messages). Proceed up the elevator and continue to clear the instance, you will not see any new mobs for the remainder of the instance. The kill order is: Tempest Forge Destroyer Bloodwarder Centurion x2 Sunseeker Astromage x2 Tempest Forge Destroyer Bloodwarder Centurion x2 Sunseeker Astromage x2 EVENT 1: 1st x2 Sunseeker Astromage, Bloodwarder Centurion, Bloodwarder Physician 2nd Tempest Forge Destroyer 3rd x2 Sunseeker Engineer, Bloodwarder Physician EVENT 2: 1st Astromage, Physician, Engineer 2nd Tempest-Forge Destroyer 3rd Sunseeker Astromage, Bloodwarder Phsyician, Sunseeker Netherbinder, Sunseeker Engineer Pathaleon the Calculator: Not much changed on this guy he just does more damage. Make sure that you have a person who doesn’t do a lot of damage stand on top of him. He will mind control that person every time. wow level service As far as dealing with the adds that spawn, I suggest if you have a warlock to fear the adds the entire time. Just gage your fears logically and DPS him as fast as you can till the enrage on which the adds will despawn. Nethermancer Sepethrea: This boss has changed for the worst in heroic. The two adds have turned into three and they no longer move slower than normal speed. A trick to doing this is to have someone who can kite well pull the boss when the rest of your party waits on the bridge to Pathaleon. wow lvl service When she is aggroed because the person who pulled is the only one in visible range for the NPC her adds will automatically target them. When Sepethrea comes running past the area your party is waiting, just taunt her off and kill her. The adds DO NOT change target in heroic mode, they will stay on the person they target from the start the entire time when pulling that way, this is why she is pulled last (to allow for ample space to kite the adds down the bridge into Pathaleon’s cleared room and back). " "The Dark Portal Event (as it is officially known) is the bane of many players fresh from the grind to level 70. The Infinite Dragonflight, bent on altering the present, have sought to interfere with Medivh’s opening of the Dark Portal. wow gold Sent back into time, you and your friends are the only hope of preserving temporal stability. Into the Black Morass you must venture, an extension of the Swamp of Sorrows that would later become the Blasted Lands. Unlike a normal dungeon, Black Morass (BM) takes place in a single location, with monsters pouring out of time-release portals. These servants of the Infinite Dragonflight are dead-set on killing Medivh, who is trying to open the Dark Portal and only has so much power in his shield before it collapses and he is overrun. Where IS the damn place. It’s easy to miss BM and its sister instance, Escape from Durnholde (or Old Hillsbrad). Both are in the Caverns of Time, which is along the eastern shore of Tanaris. wow power leveling What separates these instances from their Outland brethren is that neither of them are very traditional. Both are highly scripted and revolve around questlines specific to them. In Durnholde you’re tasked with the escape of Thrall and in BM the defense of Medivh. In order to access BM, you must first complete Durnholde, as turning in the quest from there unlocks the BM quest. Pertinent Quests [70] The Black Morass – Andormu After completing the Durnhold quest, Andormu informs you that another moment in time requires your attention: the opening of the dark portal by Medivh. This quest lets you enter the instance portal and is turned it to a NPC right inside the door. [70] The Opening of the Dark Portal – Sa’at You receive this quest upon entering the BM instance. In it, you must defend Medivh from the Infinite Dragonflight intrusion while he attempts to open the Dark Portal to allow the orcs of Draenor to enter Azeroth. In order to assist you, Sa’at gives each player a “Chronobeacon,” which, when used, summons a bronze dragon that will briefly help you. If you use one on a boss, the boss with despawn it after a few seconds. If you do manage to protect Medivh long enough for the portal to be opened, return to Sa’at for further instructions. " .

Bosses guide"Chrono Lord Deja – On portal 6 this super-sized drakonid will spawn. Adds will still be coming out of the portal, so make sure somebody is taking care of them, as this boss doesn’t requires the same level of DPS that the second boss does. He melees rather heavily and has a few different abilities, but is generally a tank and spank type of encounter. Time Lapse – This is a regularly cast debuff on the MT that reduces attack, casting, and movement speed by 60%. It’s a magic debuff so just dispel it if you can, otherwise don’t worry too much about it. Arcane Discharge – Inflicts 2-2.5k arcane damage to everybody in 45 yards. Much like other level 70 instance bosses, party healing is required. If you’re having a hard time keeping up with this, bring an off-healer like a paladin or a shaman to help out keeping the rest of the party up. AoE Knockback – Occasionally he’ll knock back everybody in range, but stay on the tank. Just a nuisance more than anything. Temporus – On portal 12, a black shimmering drake will appear. This boss can prove to be a serious problem for many groups due to his stacking debuff that reduces the healing taken on the MT. There are two ways to deal with this: first, you can simply bring an off-tank. If the MT gets too many stacks, he can back of building aggro and let the off-tank steal Temporus from him. This is difficult to manage, but if you can get good it trading aggro, it’s a valuable skill for raiding. wow honor leveling The other way to deal with this is to use Temporus’ knockback to your advantage. Because the debuff has a short duration and must be renewed regularly, if you get knocked back while at 5-10 sec. on the debuff, you can kite Temporus just long enough for the debuff to reset. Once you have the mortal wound ability controlled, the rest of the encounter is a simple tank and spank. Because this fight can quickly get out of control without high DPS, make sure to use chronobeacon rotations to control the adds so every party member can focus on the boss. Mortal Wound – A stacking debuff that can only be dodged / parried / miss. wow level service Each application reduces healing by 10% and can stack up to (and beyond) 100% healing reduction. Increases in occurrence with the hasten buff. Hasten – Increases attack speed by 200%. This is signaled by a whirring jet engine sound and a charge graphic at Temporus’ base. Because this increases the speed of mortal wound debuff application, it is vital that this be dispelled / shield slamed / purged immediately. wow lvl service With this self-buff up, it’s nearly impossible to beat out the mortal wound debuffs. " "Aeonus – The final boss of Black Morass is a giant black dragon that runs directly for Medivh after emerging from his portal. Feel free to let him beat on Medivh’s shield while you get ready for the encounter, he damages it rather slowly and assuming it’s at 50% or higher you should have plenty of time to drink up and get ready for this challenging boss. WOW Tips Like the other bosses in this instance, Aeonus is a pretty simple tank and spank. Like most dragons, he has a breath attack, so make sure to tank him facing away from the party, lest they also get blasted by his frontal cone breath. wow gold Adds don’t spawn during this final fight, but any chronobeacons that are used will be rather swiftly dispelled by Aeonus, so don’t expect anything from them. Time Stop – The most complicated of Aeonus’ abilities. Occasionally he will stop time for 4 seconds, preventing all players from acting at all during the duration. He will continue to act and can even use his breath attack and frenzy while the healers are incapacitated. In order to counter this, try and keep the MT topped off at all times, just in case a time stop does land. wow power leveling In addition, keep as many HoTs on the MT as possible, as these will continue to tick during the time stop. This ability can also be resisted, so if you’re lucky you can skip a whole rotation. Sand Breath – Aeonus’ breath weapon that hits in a frontal cone for about 3k damage with an additional 100% attack speed debuff. Face Aeonus away from the party to prevent unnecessary damage from this ability. Not much of a problem on its own, this ability becomes a bigger issue when it is chained with frenzy or time stop, resulting in massive spike damage. Frenzy – Occasionally Aeonus will go into a frenzy, increasing his attack speed temporarily. If you happen to have a Molten Core experienced hunter in your party, tranquilizing shot will remove the frenzy. Otherwise you just have to heal through it and be ready for a unlucky frenzy / time stop combo. Once Aeonus is defeated, the assault on Medivh ends and his plans to open the dark portal comes to fruition. Speak to Medivh and be ready for a cool looking event. Don’t forget to speak with Sa’at on the way out to turn in the main quest for the instance for a rather hefty reputation bonus with the Keepers of Time. " .

April 1, 2008"wow fiction: Any Moment Now"You change direction. You run after her. She has gone back to watching the beach but at your furious approach she stands, head tilted, arms crossed. You are almost to her. You have your sword out and--she bats it away, easily. You are enraged. You try again. She bats it away. You hate her. wow gold You are screaming at her now. She is going to get you in trouble. She is going to get you hurt. She is shaking her head at you, but you have no choice. You try again. wow lvl service This time you nick her shoulder, just a bit, and she hisses at you. She snarls and you are terrified suddenly and you know this was a mistake but there is no time to run and a sword flashes and then there is pain; the most incredible pain. Your whole world is red now and you fall to your knees, holding your stomach. You are barely aware of her standing over you. The blood around your hands is so warm and the pain is so fierce, but with the pain comes shock. You are relieved because now you can smell bread; freshly baked bread. This means your mother must be near. wow gold Clearly you are having a nightmare. Really, you are at home, in bed with sunlight pouring through the window. The smell means your mother is here and soon she is going to wake you up with a kiss on your cheek, just like always. It doesn’t matter that you haven’t seen your mother in months; it doesn’t matter that the last time you saw her she was weeping, weeping for you because she didn’t want you to leave. wow leveln The fights you had, the terrible fights, they never happened. That was just part of the nightmare, after all. You don’t even notice that you’ve toppled over. Surely this cannot be real; surely you will not die here, in this gray and awful place. You only came here to make your father proud, how can it end like this. You cannot be dying alone under these empty skies. Surely any moment now you will open your eyes and your mother will be there, smiling at you. wow level service Any moment now you will wake and everything will be perfect and beautiful because you won’t have wasted your life for a cause you don’t really understand, for people who won’t even remember your name a week from now.

"wow fiction: Any Moment Now"You are patrolling the road, as you’ve been taught to do, when you see a ghost. Your heart jumps into your throat and then you realize it’s not a ghost, it’s a ghoul-- No, it’s one of them. One of the Forsaken; an abomination. You stand absolutely still. In all your time here under these dark gray skies, you have never seen one; not up close, anyway. Not without a shield of your fellow Crusaders around you. Today is the first day you’ve been allowed out on your own, and you don’t know what to do. So you wait, watching. It is kneeling; it is staring out at the beach and doesn’t even seem to know you are there, but as you shift your weight, it turns towards you. You are shocked by the empty eyes, the skinless face. It stands and tilts it’s head at you, and you realize it is--was--a woman. The face is so familiar. wow gold In the back of your mind, you know that someday this will be you, after the casket rots and falls apart, after the earth swallows you, after the roots take hold in your ribs. The thought disgusts and terrifies you and most of all it makes you angry. There is a moment of silence as you stare at each other. You grip the hilt of your sword tightly. wow lvl service You know how to use a sword, of course. Your father began teaching you when you were small, barely tall enough to hold one. You remember your mother watching from the doorway, shaking her head. wow gold And later, after you were swept up in the Crusade, they trained you on how to use a shield. How to take care of your armor. How to wear your tabard. wow leveln How to think. The moment stretches on. You think you should get backup; there are more soldiers at the tower behind you. All you have to do is yell, or run back and there will be Crusaders everywhere. wow level service You actually step back; you actually start to turn away when you are struck with another thought. What would your father say if he saw you running away. What would he think. You remember his angry hands, his dark eyes. He would laugh at you. " . RELATED LINKS: http://jeweledup.com/emily4455/

"wow fiction: In the Color of Crimson"The small priestess smiled sadly and nodded. “Thank you.” Vajine simply nodded. “How did you know him in your previous life. ” “Caedon or Vissic... ” “Hmm... both.” Eliane took a deep breath, folding her hands at her waist. “Caedon was one of my best friends, for a long, long time... We went everywhere together a-and... I...” A grimace took her face for a moment. “I loved him. I met Vissic through him. He was always preying on Caedon. Wouldn't ever leave him be...

I'm not a mindless scourge... wow gold That maybe he'd... I don't know... Not come after me again.” Her own words sounded weak in her ears. But she had to try.

eu Southeast of here lies a deep cave in Boulderslide Ravine. The kobolds
there are frantically mining a rare crystal called Resonite. I need you to bring
back some ore samples so that I can understand what’s happening in that cave. I
also need you to investigate the depth of that cave. Go young , it’s imperative
I know what evil lurks under these mountains " "Are you a low leveled character
and are you jealous at high levels that have a lot of money. Do you constantly
feel the need to beg for money. There is absolutely NO need for! Listen up, and
I'll tell you how to make some easy money. wow euro Yesterday I made a new
character called Fiora (human rogue). I made her for the sole purpose of gold
farming, and she's already made a lot of money. This is how I did it: The
beginning I speed-leveled her up to level 5. That means I did all the quests in
Northshire, but in addition, I killed a few mobs more than necessary for extra
XP.
I didn't save on equipment and abilities, as they are necessary to keep me alive when I farm money. It took me about 30 minutes to level up to 5. wow power leveling Professions After I did all quests in Northshire, I took the quest that would send me to Goldshire. But before I went there, I payed a visit to Stormwind. I learned the profession mining and herbalism. Then I went back to Goldshire. Gathering I took on quests in Goldshire to level up some more, but at all times I had one tracking ability turned on. Both mining and herbalism have ""Find resources"" abilities, that make mines and herbs show up as yellow dots on your minimap. wow powerleveling You can only track one resource at a time though, so you'll have to switch back and forth between herbs and mines. Every time I saw a yellow dot, I was there in no time to gather it. Of course, I smelted copper ore into copper bars first. That's really important! List In the end, I had gathered the following things: - 20 copper bars - 20 Silverleaf - 19 Peacebloom - 3 Malachite - 20 Linen cloth (looted from mobs) Auctioning And here's where the cash rolls in: the Auction House in Ironforge. For those who don't know how to get there: take the Deeprun Tram in the Dwarven District in Stormwind. You may think the resources I found aren't that valuable,since I got them in a low-level area, but you are wrong. wow power level There are always high level characters who change their profession to Engineering, and need a LOT of copper bars to skill it up. The same goes for new-found Alchemists, who will need Silverleaf and Peacebloom at low skill levels. Linen and Malachite usually sell for decent prices too. I made 24 hours auctions for all the items on the list above. The trick is to start with a low price, say: 10 silver for 20 copper bars, but to set the buyout price at around 80 or 90 silver. That buyout is high enough to make a huge profit, but fair enough for a high level character that needs 20 copper bars right away. The low starting price basicly guarantees that there will be bids, and the price will always get higher. Read more here: http://wowvault.ign.com/View.php. view=Guides.Detail&id=98" .

20 Second Review: Brute Force
"Introduction: Welcome to what you can call the first ""20 second"" review on
GameGossip. Don't get too accustomed to seeing these because we certainly do not
plan on turning these into a regular feature. Once in a while and only for games
we personally feel like covering. To address those who question what's the point
of even writing this it is, in short, to cut through all the crap you find in
multi-page reviews, get to the core of what makes a game what it is, and to
rapidly give you an idea on how we feel about each of the three dominant facets
(gameplay, graphics and sound). If you're hungry for more information you'll be
glad to see that we've included several links to ""full"" reviews as well. wow
eu Gameplay: Brute Force was touted heavily as being a team-based shooter
with amazing artificial intelligence. They got one thing right, it is indeed
team-based and you can easily switch to any character on your team. What the
developer didn't get right was the artificial intelligence. Every time I hopped
into a game I would give my fellow squad members commands (you have a slim
selection: follow, attack freely move, etc.) but sadly those commands seemed to
have little effect, if any at all. While ""follow"" did indeed make my teammates
stay back they stayed so far back they were either getting shot at and
subsequently killed or severely wounded by caches of enemies off hiding in the
many side passages in each level or simply too far back to provide me any help
when I needed it most. However, on the flipside of the AI equation Digital Anvil
did a brilliant job with the enemies. wow euro They use cover, decide when
to shoot, lay down cover fire, work as a team, and throw grenades frighteningly
accurately at you.
Going a bit further I'd say while it isn't the best enemy AI I've ever seen in a game it's pretty far up on the list. Besides the minor issue of team function everything else comes together nicely to form a cohesive, solid Xbox game. Halo it's not though and if you're expecting something as good as that then don't say I didn't warn you. Oh yeah, one last thing; there is no Live! capability and in my eyes this greatly harms the longevity that the game will last. Graphics: Not too much to say about them. wow power leveling Not the best I've ever seen and by no means the worst. The highpoint of them would have to be the cut scenes followed closer by the rendering of the in-game characters. Sadly the terrain textures aren't of that high quality and that detracts from the realism scale heavily. Sound: Take it or leave it. wow powerleveling Nothing spectacular about them but nothing abhorrent either. Explosions sound like explosions, gun shots sound like gunshots. About what you would expect from any first tier game. Bottom Line: The bottom line is this. wow power level The game is simply not as good as I had been expecting to be. This isn't saying it's a bad game overall and it certainly is not a bad choice to add to your Xbox collection, it just wasn't quite what I was expecting. " .

Arena Stories
"I was doing 2v2 with a guildie of mine (Feral Druid gasp! We were at a 1780
rating but don to around 1720 now) and we were against a Rogue/ Lock combo. It
was in BE arena and the lock was on one of those pillars. wow
eu So I decide to shadowstep up there from the bottom floor and start to
stun lock him, and when he goes back on the bridge my druid partner will
intercept. So I shadowstep up, and RIGHT when I cheapshot, I get sapped! There
was no pause when I shadowstepped and cheap shotted, it was one after the other.
Back when i was blue/green geared instead welfared out, I (Dwarf Hunter specced
BM at the time, was like a 1520 rating), my guildie disconnected after I had
joined the arena. Wound up fighting two rogues. Dunno if they felt bad that I
was by myself, or they hadnt noticed my partner had DC'd and were waiting to sap
him or something, cuz only one attacked me. wow euro When I got him to about 30%
and was at about 80 myself, his partner finally joined in. I just popped BW,
killed first rogue real quick, then kited the other one around until he dropped
too. I was so pumped, till I realized that they had sucked and I was a BM
hunter. It was a 2v2 i was on my rogue with a ele sham and the other team was a
druid with a fel guard lock in blades end. battle starts, the end result is the
druid and my ele sham die at the same time, leaving me against a almost full hp
lock with a lot of dots on on me with 10% life. wow
power leveling I do a clock of shadows, sprint and vanish and hide.
i spend about 10 mins avoiding the lock. by this time the lock gave up on trying to find me and parked himself on the bridge with his fel guard. i knew i could not win against the lock with his fel guard, so i spent the next 45 mins taunting him to come and find me or get rid of his fel guard. wow powerleveling he finally became sick of me and summoned a void walker and sacrificed it. I went in for the kill and it was over in 15 secs. But seriously doing arena in a crappy bracket with a crappy pve geared team expected to lose 10 games and get 200 arena points (its 5v5) we absolutely ripped it up. Got nearly 160+ rating by the end of it. We won 8-2 at 1400, the only times we lost was 1. when our priest dc'd and 2. when our hunter afk'd. wow power level The team was pompyro mage (moi) hunter hunter feral druid circle of lol priest. The good teams targeted priest first but we burned em down, when the priest did finally die we got a whole heapin helpin of healing from her other form before she dropped. Plus me and druid sheeping/cycloning paladins/druids made for some fun times. " . RELATED LINKS: http://ponyma.ilcannocchiale.it/

March 23, 2008Oh My! Wrath of the Lich King On It’s Way!
"Hey guys and gals! Long time since I did my last post and a whole lot has
happened since then as well. Great news for all you WoW addicts out there, the
new expansion World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King is well on it’s way! Now
we all have a great reason to keep on playing (as if we really needed it)! The
expansion will bring a whole lot of new stuff into the game such as the first
hero class, Death Knight. From what I understand about this once you hit level
80 you will be able to do a quest (about as hard as the warlock epic mount
quest) in order to unlock the hero class. Once it is unlocked you can make Death
Knight characters from your account which will start at a high level of
experience. Not really sure if it will start at 60, 70, or even 80….i’m just
glad I won’t have to start over from the beginning with a level 1 Death Knight!
The bad part is I already have hit my character limit on my server and i’ll have
to delete one of my alts in order to make room for the Death Knight. Oh well,
prolly wasn’t ever going to play that level 5 mage again anyway! Other great
things about the expansion includes the new siege weapons in battlegrounds which
will allow you to destroy buildings! That will really be cool as i’ve always
thought that was something that was missing from the PvP battlegrounds
experience. wow gold
New hairstyles, dances, new monsters, weapons, items, and tons of more things
are being worked on as we speak. Blizzard still hasn’t released a release date
yet but many places are estimating it will be released either at the end of May
2008 or even November 2008.
Either way, we still have a while before beginning the grind to level 80 so it is still safe to raid and enjoy all the gear before replacing it with green items again! " "RNG + Doomfire = Dead Hog.

Sometimes the Doomfires loop back onto the melee and you get the above. wow lvl service There isn’t much to do in that case but pray. Usually Warriors can destroy on this fight; between Bloodrage and Intercept, you can stay engaged in melee range and out of Doomfires the entire fight. I don’t know what happened here… or wait yes I do I got screwed! I’m Not Dead Yet! Again. wow gold “I don’t want to go on the cart!” It looks like Hogit is dead but he survived with one health left (thanks Last Stand). I don’t usually post screenshots with my UI turned on but this case called for it. I felt it fitting because I haven’t been posting regularly. My guess is there have been some questions among them, “Has Hogit quit playing WoW. ” No! But with the end game comes repetition and a loss of inspiration thus my blog suffers. A steep price to pay for purples. wow leveln Bulwark of Azzinoth anyone. " "Hey guys and gals! Long time since I did my last post and a whole lot has happened since then as well.

She began to take in what was going on around her – though the worgen seemed of a simple mind, those who she had granted authority to used it to it's fullest extent. wow leveln She began to fear that she was loosing control of the brutal creatures she had summoned and swore not to summon anymore until she could determine what exactly was going on. Though she held to her oath, more and more worgen continued to appear, as if the Scythe no longer needed her concentration in order to summon the beasts. With growing concern, she gathered what she could find of the packs and ordered them to remain at the Shrine of Mel'Thandris on the border between Ashenvale and Felwood. wow eu As a side note, the creatures remain there to this day but savagely attack any who come near – the Shrine is lost to the Kaldorei and has made an unfortunate home for these brutal creatures. After researching in Darnassus and consulting with the Circle of Ancients in Darkshore, Velinde was unable to find any information on the worgen – none had ever so much as heard of them before. However, rumor reached the sentinel's ear of the Archmage Arugal and his ability to summon the beasts in seemingly a similar manner to what the Scythe had granted her. wow lvl service She set out to find him, traveling from Ratchet to Booty Bay, and then on to Duskwood. However, she never reached Darkshire and the only traces that she made it as far as Duskwood is the state of the area now. Her final, exact fate is still unknown. " .

March 16, 2008Neutral Races"It really depends on your definition of Neutral. They belong to nither faction and the Naga much like the Forsaken who took the horde as a HUGE meat shield to hide their plot want to take over the world. gwow honor The Naga are just alot more subtle in their ways. They are going to sit back amass their forces let the war weeaken both sides and the Slither in and try to take it all. The Blood elves are just really angry. They hate the humans for leaving when the Quel'dore((high elves)) left to fight the legion leaving the HE lands to the undead.They just really only want to get their lands back. Though by any means nessicary. So if you wana try and put it into Context the Forsaken aren't truely Horde. guild wars gold They just act it. your right The Blood Elves and Naga would be hostile... naga anyway about the Pandaren i think it would be cool if it was like in WC3 you buy one from a tavern and it fights for you that would be kinda cool help you do solo quests and so on or they could have pandaren citys with the guards as pandaren funny see one of them in a big suit of armor lol Quote: Originally Posted by Ciel I truly doubt a new faction...to balance the new faction with the Alliance and Horde for PvP purposes would be nearly impossible. Whatever new races that come into the game will be added to the Alliance and Horde. cheap wow gold That's true. That and the third faction would have to be one of the more 'evil' ones. Both Alliance and Horde right now are primarily on the 'good' side. wow level up It would be hard to figure out quests for a more 'evil' faction. I'm not giving it much chance, But we all know blizzard's got something cool and exciting up their sleeves. Whatever happens, I'd just lóve to see Illidan ingame, considering that he's still my favourite Warcraft character. I love the victim role he plays. " .

March 14, 2008The Puller
"The Puller The concept of ""pulling"" has been perfected in other games and carries on to World of Warcraft. The idea is a player in a party, known as ""the puller"", scouts ahead, finds the next monster or monsters, and brings them back to the waiting group. wow honor The party fights and kills those monsters and then the process repeats. This is a much safer method than the whole party wandering around together in dangerous locations where they could wake up too many monsters. The existence of pulling in the game doesn't indicate that there is a lot of camping. Typically as a group is advancing in an area or dungeon they will stop and pull nearby monsters to a safe area. Once those monsters are cleared they will advance on. Players aren't typically sitting in one location waiting for monsters to respawn. guild wars gold The Puller Pullers are generally tanks such as a Warrior or Paladin. This is because they have the most hit points and armor and can take a real beating. This is required because they have to lead the monsters back to the party. A casting class could be used as a puller if the monsters are easy or are not able to hit them with ranged attacks. cheap wow gold Another reason a squishy mage type class is often not a good puller is due to the hate/aggro balance you try to achieve in party pulls.
