News: 2.4: Time to PvE to PvP Again? PvP Starter Set
February 10th, 2008 by Magog · 7 Comments

Update: I was able to secure a nice clip as well as commentary notes from Pronne of SK Gaming, showcasing a fight between Rogue(Shs) Druid(Pronne) vs Warrior Druid. To check it out, simply click on the it under Featured Media or here. -Ziss

Well, it’s that time again. A new PvE content patch is coming out and all the “newer, better and shinier” gear is being mined and posted. I won’t lie, some of that stuff looks damn spiffy — but when you see that most of it takes PvE rep, tokens and badges, it all gets bittersweet.

We all know that Blizzard has always been PvE first and that PvP gear and loot is usually half-a-step behind PvE. So is it time to get ready to get back to raiding and chant that “PvE to PvP” mantra all the while to keep us feeling hardcore? or suck it up til Season 4?

News: 2.4 PTR Released… and Now Region Free
February 8th, 2008 by Magog · 7 Comments

Well, they are finally here. Not as exciting as the supposed “leaked notes”, but a few of the items from there popped up. Expect more changes to 2.4 from Blizzard as it goes through its PTR iterations.

One interesting change to the PTRs that should liven up the ‘testing’ was also added:

“With the 2.4.0 PTR, we will be allowing US, EU and Korean players to access all available PTR realms. Players will be able to choose which test realm they wish to play on without being restricted by region. We currently plan to make all PTR realms available in this way for all future patches.” -Bornakk

News: Potential Upcoming Class Changes?
February 7th, 2008 by Magog · 12 Comments

The big news since late last night is of the “leak” of the list of potential class changes. Sorry for the late update, some people were celebrating and cashing in — red pockets, yo. Keep in mind that the list is not officially tied to Blizzard in any way and should be taken with a grain of salt. Here is the standard blue disclaimer:

“What we’ve posted on the forums is the extent of the notes we’ve made public at this point in time. The complete official notes have not been posted yet. Please take anything posted outside the forums or website with a grain of salt.” -Nethaera

What’s most interesting about this list is that most the class changes seem to be PvP adjustments. Is Blizzard making good on promises of a batch of class balancing or is this too good to be true?
