Οι Alliance ξεκινάνε το event στο Kharanos, Dun Morogh, ενώ οι horde στα Echo Isles, Durotar. ]]> Γενικά νέα jupe http://www.worldofwarcraft.gr/forum/t2652.html http://www.worldofwarcraft.gr/forum/news/2629.html Thu, 02 Sep 2010 07:33:10 GMT Και τα τελευταία νέα απ'τον χώρο των glyphs:

- Ριζική αλλαγή του UI


- Πλέον τα glyphs τα αγοράζετε μια φορά, τα μαθαίνετε και μετά μένουν σαν spell στο UI, και όποτε θέλετε να αλλάξετε το κάνετε "cast" στο slot που θέλετε να το βάλετε.

Ναι οι scribes αυτήν την στιγμή ετοιμάζουν διαδήλωση που τους καταστρέφουν το gold income. Όλοι 12 στην Πλατεία Stormwind.

- Βλέπετε και τις νέες 3 κατηγορίες (Prime, Major, Minor) και διαλέγετε 3 glyph απ'την κάθεμια. Χαμός?

Προς το παρόν έχουν ανακοινωθεί μόνο για rogues + shamans glyphs. Αναμένονται και για τα άλλα classes, καθώς και πολλές αλλαγές στο μέλλον. Η αλλαγή στο glyph of chain heal δεν θα περάσει έτσι.

	Blizzard Quote: (Source)
	Dispellable Buffs Many buffs can be dispelled because they are magical effects and because it's strategic to do so. Some buffs can't be dispelled either because it doesn't make sense, because the class couldn't function without the buff, or both. Slice and Dice can't be dispelled, but Savage Roar and Inquisition can be. We might decide to make or all or none of them dispellable. We really need to see more end-game PvP to make that determination. (Source) Reforging useful stats It's a matter of degree. Some players will reforge for a sub 1% dps gain, and that's their prerogative. We don't think the stats need to be that close, but they need to be somewhat close. If Ret paladins perfer crit to haste (or Enhacement prefer haste to mastery, etc. etc.) then that's okay so long as crit doesn't provide twice the dps per stat point as haste. If you're willing to take a previous tier's gear because the stat budget is more optimal, then we've got a problem, as we had a few times in the LK content. (Source) Priest Lightwell Range: 15 yards. Lightwell vs. Health Stones Healthstones are good and good players use them. If bad players continue to ignore Lightwell, we can live with that. If it becomes as useful as a Healthstone, perfect. Also note that ignoring a Healthstone (or Lightwell) will be essentially like casting a mana drain on your healer, which is not the case today. Hunter New Multi-Shot Our current version of Multi-Shot has not target cap. It's a little like Fan of Knives. Paladin Seal Damage There's no evidence of that though. You're just fretting. We nerfed Seal damage recently because Ret paladins were beating everyone on damage meters. We aren't spending much effort on numbers yet, but we need them to be reasonable enough so that playtesters don't do unusual things that they wouldn't do when the numbers are tuned more accurately. (Source) Holy Power on white attacks? Holy Power on white attacks was too unpredictable to the point of annoying. Imagine you have 2 Holy Power, start to push Crusader Strike and then at that instant get a white attack proc. Now you have wasted your 1.5 sec GCD *and* wasted Holy Power because you're technically at 4 now. Having Holy Power tied to yellow attacks is at least the kind of thing you can train yourself to watch out for. If you aren't hitting any buttons, then you aren't going to get Holy Power for example. You can notice after every button mash if you got that extra proc or not -- they aren't just happening out of the blue. Druid Can't use Shred on unusual raid encounters (Kologarn) When we make an entire instance full of Kologarns then it will be a problem. I think you'll be fine if you can't manage maximum dps on every raid boss. I think the game loses far more when we can't make original bosses with unusual mechanics that we gain by having every dps spec do about the same relative damage on every fight. (Source) Shred position prereq PvP is rarely ever decided by someone's long term sustained dps though. It has a lot more to do with making the right decision at the right time. In PvE there is no question that Shred is superior, but in most fights you can Shred. Those few fights where you can't Shred aren't ubiquitous enough to feel like a big deal. If you just find it too difficult to always get behind a creature to be able to Shred, then I'm not sure what to tell you. We don't think this problem is so widespread that Ferals are at a huge disadvantage overall. We agree that Feral has a really high skill cap in Lich King, but that's more do to the John Madden nature of the rotation than to Shred's positional requirement, and it's also something we've taken steps to improve in Cataclysm. Many specs can't perform their highest 100% potential when mobs are moving or when they have to step out of the fire, but we aren't about to change those in order to make things easier on the player. I think raiding is plenty easy to be honest, unless you're talking about the more challenging heroic-mode encounters in which, yeah, we're asking you to step it up a little. (Source) Innervate Innervate is now based on YOUR mana, not the target's mana. GC specifically stated this makes Innervate useless for Ferals, as they do not want Ferals helping Healers in their mana management. That's not actually what I said. I said that we wanted Feral's Innervate to be less powerful than Balance and Restoration, because we don't want "stack Ferals" to be the solution for healers who overheal a lot. Your Innervate will still be valued (probably more valued, all things considered), but it won't be and shouldn't be the magic pill that gets you a raid slot. Death Knight Death Knights neglected in Cata? "Neglect" is one of those words that typically makes developers roll their eyes and skip over to the next post. Just so you know. Even the original DK trees are not very old compared to all the others, so in that sense, they didn't have so many layers of build up cruft that needed shaking off. We've changed up some of the mechanics that weren't working and got rid of some of the boring passive damage, but overall we didn't feel the need to replace talents like say Rime, Dirge or Killing Machine. I'm just saying that it shouldn't come as much surprise that the most recently designed tree didn't need as much overhauling as say warrior and mage, which hadn't changed much since vanilla.

Όπως είχε προαναγγελθεί σε twitter chat, το κόστος του dual specialization μειώθηκε στα 100g στην beta. Ό λόγος σύμφωνα με τους δημιουργούς είναι ότι ήθελαν να διευκολύνουν τους παίχτες στο να αλλάζουν ρόλους από πιο νωρίς ώστε να βρίσκουν πιο εύκολα και θέση στα dungeon. Το level που το μαθαίνουμε προς το παρόν παραμένει στο 40.



Eνδιαφέρον είχαν και τα νέα που αποκάλυψε ο Tom Chillton στην συνεντευξή του κατά το Gamescom 2010 στο site allavatar.com

- To patch 3.9 θα είναι το τελευταίο patch πριν το Cataclysm.
(Τώρα είμαστε στο 3.3.5, καλά τα πάνε με τα νούμερα)
Θα περιλαμβάνει πολλές απ'τις νέες αλλαγές (νέα talent trees,mastery system) καθώς και το world event που θα αποτελεί εισαγωγή για το cataclysm.

- Η εξέλιξη θα είναι κλασσικά: normal dungeons, heroic dungeons, raids.
Τα raid bosses στο 25man θα ρίχνουνε 5-6 items το καθένα. Για να ξεκλειδωθούν τα heroic modes θα πρέπει να καθαριστεί το dungeon πρώτα. Στα πρώτα tier των raids το τελικό boss θα είναι...

*τυμπανοκρουσίες*


Sintharia - WoWWiki - Your guide to the World of Warcraft

Η "σύντροφος" του Deathwing και μητέρα των Nefarian και Onyxia.H οποία υποτίθεται έχει ήδη πεθάνει στα βιβλία. Αν και βέβαια σε αυτό το expansion θα πολεμήσουμε ξανά Ragnaros, Onyxia, Nefarian, oπότε ψιλολεπτομέρειες.

- Archaelogy: Σχεδόν έτοιμο για να το δούμε στο beta. Θα βασίζεται σε ένα minigame στα πλαίσια του γνωστού "Hot'n'cold" . Θα ψάχνετε να βρείτε relics δηλαδή και θα σας λέει το game αν είστε κοντά, μακριά, κτλ.

- Σχεδιάζεται να αναβαθμιστούν τα Outland και Northrend ώστε να είναι πιο σχετικά με το lore του νέου expansion. (Λογικό είναι, δεν γίνεται να ξεκινάς σαν level 1 στην Cataclysm εποχή, και στο 60-80 να ασχολείσαι me Illidan και Arthas, αιωνία τους η μνήμη κτλ.)

- Δεν προβλέπονται άλλες μεγάλες αλλαγές στα classes, μόνο ψιλόδιορθώσεις. ]]> Γενικά νέα Ragnadriel http://www.worldofwarcraft.gr/forum/t2560.html http://www.worldofwarcraft.gr/forum/news/2547.html Tue, 17 Aug 2010 18:05:06 GMT Ωπ, εδώ είμαστε... Ανακοινώθηκε η Collector's edition για το Cataclysm, και ανέβηκε ήδη στο επίσημο site.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm - Features - Collector's Edition

Edit: To μοντέλο του Lil'deathwing πλέον είναι το σωστό στην ιστοσελίδα.

79.99$ λοιπόν, να δούμε πόσο θα πάει το μαλλί σε ευρώ όταν κυκλοφορήσει.

	Blizzard Quote: (Source)
	IRVINE, Calif., Aug 17, 2010 -- Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced plans for a limited-release Collector's Edition of World of Warcraft(R): Cataclysm(TM), the third expansion for the world's most popular subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game,* World of Warcraft. The special Collector's Edition package, which will only be available at retail stores, will include the following exclusive bonus items in addition to the game disc: -- Art of the Cataclysm art book, featuring 176 pages of never-before-seen images from the archives of the Blizzard Entertainment cinematics department and the World of Warcraft development team, as well as progressive visuals from multiple stages of development. -- Exclusive in-game pet: he may not be a breaker of worlds just yet, but Lil' Deathwing will still proudly accompany heroes on their struggle to save Azeroth from his much, much larger counterpart. -- Behind-the-scenes DVD with over an hour of developer interviews and commentaries, as well as a special Warcraft(R) retrospective examining the rich gaming history of the Warcraft universe. -- Soundtrack featuring 10 epic new tracks from Cataclysm, including exclusive bonus tracks. -- Special-edition mouse pad depicting Deathwing menacing the ravaged continents of Azeroth. -- World of Warcraft Trading Card Game cards, including a 60-card starter deck from the Wrathgate series, two extended-art cards, and two Collector's Edition-exclusive hero cards, marking the first appearance of goblin and worgen heroes in the TCG. The first two World of Warcraft expansions, The Burning Crusade(R) and Wrath of the Lich King(R), each shattered PC game sales records upon their release. In Cataclysm, the face of Azeroth will be forever altered by the return of the corrupted Dragon Aspect Deathwing. Players will explore once-familiar areas of the world that have now been reshaped by the devastation and filled with new adventures. In an effort to survive the planet-shattering cataclysm, two new playable races -- worgen and goblins -- will join the struggle between the Alliance and the Horde. As players journey to the new level cap of 85, they'll discover newly revealed locations, acquire new levels of power, and come face to face with Deathwing in a battle to determine the fate of the world. The beta test for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is currently underway. To set up a Battle.net account and sign up for a chance to participate, please visit the official Battle.net website at Battle.net. The World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Collector's Edition will be available on DVD-ROM for Windows(R) XP/Windows Vista(R)/Windows(R) 7 and Macintosh(R) at a suggested retail price of $79.99. The release date and other details for the game will be announced in the months ahead.

Ανάμεσα σε άλλα (όπως το ότι η εταιρεία αναμένει την φετινή χρονιά να είναι η πλέον κερδοφόρος στην ιστορία της), άμεσου ενδιαφέροντος είναι οι δηλώσεις για την ημερομήνια κυκλοφόριας του Cataclysm. Σύμφωνα με την εταιρεία λοιπόν, βρίσκονται ακόμα στον στόχο τους για κυκλοφορία στα τέλη του 2010.

	Blizzard Quote: (Source)
	Also I'd like to point the release of Cataclysm being our best expansion yet for World of Warcraft. Although an exact release date has not yet been announced, we are on track to launch the expansion by the end of the year. As with all Blizzard games though, we won't release until it's ready.

Όσοι είσαστε επιχειρηματικά ή οικονομικά μυαλά, συνιστώ να διαβάσετε ολόκληρο το άρθρο μαζί και με το Q&A που ακολούθησε. Είναι αρκετά ενδιαφέρον, όσον αφορά και τον τρόπο σκέψης μιας εταιρείας (που εκτός από gamers, πρέπει να κρατήσει και τους επενδυτές ικανοποιημένους). ]]> Γενικά νέα Ragnadriel http://www.worldofwarcraft.gr/forum/t2518.html
