As we continue to wait for new info about concerning 2.4 and class changes (it’s been a month, but who’s counting?), Nethaera has this to say:

“I think people would get tired of hearing “not today” and start asking “when?” Then I’d have to answer with “soon” and it would just go on from there.

Things are in the works, the cogs are moving, and we’ll get there” -Nethaera

Honor Gear and Season 4
Regarding arena gear purchasable with honor… when asked what will happen with Season 4, Drysc confirms that the S2 set will me moved to the honor vendor and the S1 set will be bumped off. Sniff, I’m gonna miss seeing those S1 shoulders around — especially when they were insanely huge on orcs.

The big news around the PvP water cooler this morning is from an interview posted over on SK Gaming over the weekend. David “Shawn” K, head admin for World of Warcraft at the ESL, revealed that they will be hosting online tournaments on an event realm provided by Blizzard. As he explains:

“WoW does not have any kind of custom game option that you usually know from eSport-games and players are spread among dozens of servers. The only way to make sure that only those teams play against each other that you want to is to get them on a special server – an even realm. Those are regular servers but only visible to special accounts. Those accounts have all eight classes at level 70 and every character has thousands of gold and bags packed with all possible PvP-items to chose from. When the players are done with setting up both teams queue up at the same time, join the same arena and there is no risk of interfering.” -David “Shawn” K

It’s good to see a league like ESL supporting WoW and it’s also good to see Blizzard accommodating with online servers. Over here in the US, we’ve been promised this before with the Gameriot tournament (whatever happened to that anyways?), but hopefully ESL delivers and opens the door for more online competitive play.

It’s been 5(?) months since my last commentary video, I finally got my groove back last night and pushed out a new one. Thank you all for the support and I believe this will be the first of many to come (with much better frequency)!

Regarding the stealth bug mentioned yesterday:

“A hotfix for this issue was applied last night. It may not take effect until individual realms are restarted.” -Hortus

Nice to see the issue being addressed with a hotfix. As for the Cheat Death bug, Hortus goes into a little more detail:

“I’m sorry perhaps I should have explained the situation better…

When two spells land with exact timing activating cheat death the spells can receive 99% reduction instead of 90%. In the past when this happened the spells were not affected by Cheat Death at all.

This only affects the spells triggering cheat death and not subsequent spells and only happens under very specific circumstances which can not be purposely exploited. It does not give rogues “4 seconds of invulnerability” as some people have said.” -Hortus

Now in the “next to be hotfixed” department: casting while moving. Apparently with the use of ‘Shoot Wand’, you can trick the mechanics to allow you to cast any spell while strafing. Here’s a video of this killer bug in action. As with all game breakers, file this under full-disclosure-til-it-gets-fixed.
