Wrath of the Lich King News

 

• Tuesday Maintenance - Most realms are under the usual maintenance timer today but some realms will see 12 hours of downtime which began at 12:01 am PDT and will go to 12:01 pm PDT. We are thinking they will be applying patch 3.1.3 today during this maintenance. For a list of realms under extended downtime and the full patch notes visit the Spugnort blog.

• New Druid Bear Form for Patch 3.2 - That's right! Druids everywhere are rejoicing as it seems their cries have been heard. Blizzard will be implementing a new look for the Druid Bear Form with the release of patch 3.2. Not only will the Druids be getting a new look, but for the first time ever they will be able to customize that look! For all the info and some way cool pics, visit our blog.

• BlizzCon '09 is Sold Out! - Well, much to the disappointment of many fans (including me) BlizzCon '09 tickets are now officially sold out. The last batch of tickets became available on Saturday morning at 10 am PST and were gone in about 10 minutes. Even if you were not able to get your hands on the coveted tickets, we all have to admit that things went along MUCH better this year, and hey there's always Direct TV, right?!?

• Hunters and Warlocks Can Rejoice! - Blizzard has recognized that the mechanics behind the pet salability are a bit out of sync with the current game mechanics. I mean, you all remember BC when pets were hard to kill...well not anymore! As a BM hunter that has to be one of my biggest complaints...my pet dies WAY too easy. Blizzard poster Ghostcrawler has said that the dev team recognizes this issue and realizes that the recent pet health buffs are not quite doing the job, so it seems Blizz has come up with a new way for pets to scale based partially on their master's stats. It will be a while before this goes live, but simply hearing it's in the works makes me very happy!

• Warcraft Game Fuel Site in Full Swing - We told you about the WoW-themed Mountain Dew a while ago. Well, now the official site is up and running and giving away TONS of prizes now through August 20th! The drinks should arrive in your favorite stores this week, but until then check out our blog for all the contest rules, information and links and good luck to you!

• Blizzard Wants Your Class Questions - Blizzard poster, Nethaera has opened a door to the Warcraft gaming community she may wish she'd left closed. She has opened up the class forums to questions, suggestions and issues from players which Blizzard will address in the form of responses and possibly some changes. She does warn that responses will likely not begin to roll in for weeks as they want to give players around the world time to get their questions in. When answers start to come they will be addressing the most prominent issues first. But, basically this is your chance to go over to your class forum and let them know what you think...good bad or ugly. My first issue will be the "pet chase" bug, anyone who has ever played a Hunter knows exactly what I am talking about!

• Ulduar Proto-Drakes Will Disappear in 3.2 - As with the reward of the Plagued and Black Proto-Drakes pre 3.1, the Rusted and Ironbound Drakes will be gone when 3.2 is released to live servers. Blizzard does this to keep the reward for the achievements associated with these rewards meaningful and reserve them only for the elite players. Once geared for higher level instances it would be much easier for players to come back to lower level ones and complete these achievements, so Blizz removes them to make the achievements stand out. Don't worry, though there is still time to nab your Ulduar Drakes as we don't expect 3.2 to be out any time soon.

• Cross-Language Battlegroups - This is something Blizzard has been working on for a while and after successful tests on the PTR it has been implemented on live EU servers. This feature will combine Battlegroups from different languages into one which will in turn expand the pool of players wanting to participate in PvP for both Arenas and Battlegrounds. One important thing Blizzard thought was necessary to point out is that you will not be teamed with players speaking different languages, but you will play against them. This is a cool concept and will make for even more epic PvP battles. To get all the information, you can click here to read the FAQ.

• Comic Corner - This week I found a few comics that gave my some pretty good laughs! The first is from Experience Points and it relays their perception of Ulduar Trash. The next one I found come to us from NPC and I found this one to be quite funny! I I love these kitties even if they are suckers for a little Critter Tease! And last but not least there is a good one from The Adventures of Disgraph T. Dwarf that relays the authors somewhat mixed feelings about the new Druid forms and what he sees for the future. It's called Form of...A Druid!...enjoy!

• Product Spotlight - The Ultimate Warcraft Powerleveling Guide Pack is a must have for any gamer's library. This amazing guide package includes optimized leveling paths for both Horde and Alliance and an in-game mod that works for both, too! The leveling paths detailed in these guides are the ones we personally use to level our own characters and are comprised of 100% questing...that's right NO grinding ever! So, if you're just getting started, running up an alt, or just want to power to 80 as quickly as possible this is EXACTLY what you need. Get your copy today for the low price of only $69.95! That's right, Horde AND Alliance printable pdf's and in-game leveling guides for one low price.
