Gimmick in Burning Crusade Worldmap!

Blizzard ’s interactive Outland Map has a nice gimmick. Open the Map and click the regions in the following order:

  1. Shadowmoon Valley
  2. Blade’s Edge Mountains
  3. Nagrand
  4. Netherstorm
  5. Zangarmarsh
  6. Hellfire Peninsula
  7. Terokkar Forest

It will take a moment, but check the Bloodelf in the top left corner.

Patch 1.12.1 mount changes.

Apparently the Patch 1.12.1 will change the way mounts are handled. The price for mounts will greatly reduce, while the skill to learn riding – 75 for bkue mounts and 150 for epic mounts – will cost 90 and 900 gold. No worries, if you already have an epic mount you will learn the riding skill automatically, once the patch goes live. Read more about the upcoming patch here. There are no patch notes availlable, yet. I will give an update when they are published.

Honor Reset in Burning Crusade

If You are planning on achieving a higher Rank in the PvP System You should better hurry up, since the Honor will be reset when burning Crusade starts. The only thing that will remain is the highest Rank you achieved. If You are just trying to get Rank You should think this over and postpone any effort.

„The old honour system will be removed when we launch the new honour system with the release of the expansion. There will be no carry over from the old honour system to the new one, aside from being able to display your title of highest rank achieved. The slate is effectively going to be wiped clean, giving birth to a new honour system, “more powerful than you could ever imagine.”
Actually it’s a pretty simple and to the point change, the ‚powerful‘ spiel was just for fun.“

Kel Thuzad has been defeated by Nihilum.

As first Guild worldwide Nihilum has defeated Kel Thuzad in Naxxramas, the Highest Boss in World of Warcraft. After their kill on the 4 Horsemen and a quick Sapphiron kill, Nihilum invested all efforts to get Kel Thuzad down.

Indeed a very nice job and lots of respect from my side to Nihilum for the first worldwide Naxxramas clearance.

Take a quick look at the screenshot and loot here:

Picture of Kel Thuzad killed by Nihilum and the loot.

Notice the new stats of „The Hungering Cold“: 76-143 DMG, 73 DPS, 1.50 Speed, 140 Armor, 14 Stamina, +6 Swords

Coming Warlock changes on US Forum

On the official Forums Tseric gives some information about the new talents and abilities of Warlocks. Its mainly about changes on Dark Pact, Felguard, Shadow Embrace, Nether Protection, Soulwell and Seed of Corruption.

„The Felguard is still under development, so I don’t have too many specifics that might not change. However, a brief exchange in a meeting with the devs went something like this:

  • Me – What’s the Felguard looking like? Will it possibly replace the VW?
  • Dev – Hmmm…yeah, maybe it should. It has DPS abilities at the moment, but maybe it should have some threat-generating mechanics, as well.
  • Me – …(thinks of respecing into demo)“Â Tseric

Ravencrest unplayable

Well the hardware upgrade for Ravencrest has been installed and thanks Blizzard, there is no more lag. Or wait, the instant disconnects prevent us from even being able to experience lag. To be honest we hoped for a better solution 😉

Edit: at 21:45 the Server was back up. I just wonder why Blizzard will not offer us a move to a less crowded server. But well since they actually can earn cash with payed char transfer this will probbaly not be seen again.
