a level 61 Blood Elf Paladin  posté le dimanche 04 mai 2008 09:52

"So I've been thinking a bit about questing lately as I traverse Outlands on my latest project, a level 61 Blood Elf Paladin, working on the Outlands quests.Sound You can hit control-s to disable the sound effects if someone is making really annoying sounds in the auction house. I think my favorite part of playing a lowbie hordeling is how many quests there are to ""stumble upon"" in the oft-maligned Barrens.Don't forget to re-enable them after you leave. Technically, they're all very basic ""find and kill these dudes"" quests, but the presentation is such that I always get a big rush from doing them."Scott Hartsman’s roundtable at IMGDC was about scripts, stemming from a blog fight that I had missed. They really do make me feel like a mighty hunter. The quests start in Mulgore.I summarize the consensus as, “Scripts are often implemented poorly. Skorn Whitecloud, a grizzled old Tauren Hunter, tells you a story about a legendary wolf named Ghost Howl, a noble beast who went insane due to an injury suffered at the hands of a demon in the old wars.If you are going to use them, take them seriously and design them well.” Designers know that players will work creatively to get around restrictions. He doesn't give you a quest to kill the wolf, he just relates a story of his glory days and a legend of his people.Players are bound by the limits of the code, not the intent of the vision. It's a simple act that makes you feel immersed in the world, without the nagging feeling in the back of your head, that voice that says, ""man, I have to go track down this dude and kill him now, don't I.If a system can be broken, it will be. world of warcraft buy gold "" Yet, as you run around the plains of Mulgore taking care of other quests, you may have your encounter with Ghost Howl himself, and when he dies, you'll find his hide, which you can bring back to Skorn for his approval.Programmers should know the same thing about designers.


It feels less like a chore of a quest, and more like a brave and noble hunt you undertook by yourself.If you place artificial restrictions on the designers to keep them from mucking something up, they are still creative people who will find ways around them, sometimes breaking things more interestingly along the way. If you want to see how this applies in your game, think of how one thing can break while a seemingly identical other thing still works just fine. This basic pattern continues into the Barrens.There is a good chance that two developers used the same tools to create the same outcome in different ways. gold kaufen wow You can defeat Lakota'mani the kodo, Washte Pawne the tunderhawk, and Owatanka the thunder lizard, bringing trophies of your hunt back to the Tauren, taking part in the ritual of the hunt and being hailed as a great hunter and a friend of the spirits.The latest patch changed something that one implementation depends upon, while the other is unaffected; for more fun, both could be broken in different ways. You can also kill the strange Harvester, ushering in the first signs of a sinister infestation that will grip all of Kalimdor, an epic storyline that comes to fruition nearly 45 levels later in Silithus.Good programming practices were not adhered to, and now the game is much harder to update. In a more non-hunting vein, you can also assassinate an Alliance messenger and deliver her note to your superiors, leading to a quest to ""send a message"" to the Alliance.Now multiply that across several dozen people working over several years, most or all of whom now work on other products. wow gold In Ashenvale, Senani Thunderheart will advise you on the great hunt, but it is your choice to go out, and using her directions, find and kill your prey, bear, cat, and hippogryph.Have fun maintaining the code! To explain the title, “x is often implemented poorly” is a common issue.


At the end, as a recognition of your mastery of the hunter, you'll receive accolades and a cloak.Jason Booth explained that about procedural content, which is neither a panacea nor the destroyer of worlds. Now, Drysc has rightly pointed out that Blizzard's gotten better and better at implementing varied and interesting quests, and I think their quest system has a lot going for it.Jeff Freeman explained that about forums, which can use valuable tools or useless noise. buying gold world of warcraft But there's also room for improvement.It may be a bad sign that some tools are misused more than others. " Gems Gems now searchable in the Auction House under the heading of Gem with the gems then broken up by color so you can search for all gems of a specific color. For me, one of the easiest ways to improve would be to go back to the beginning and use those Barrens quests just a little bit more often. Now all you have to do is wait until the disenchanted items sell, and you can go and purchase more items to disenchant and sell as pure materials. Let picking up quests feel a bit more organic. You can use this method for higher valued items as you progress, just make sure you use the lowest priced material that the item will be disenchanted into as the highest price you will pay for an item that you will be disenchanting. world of warcraft gold Rumors in town lead to you watching out for certain monsters or landmarks or roving bands of thugs out in the field without being specifically on a quest. So in the example above the lowest material that I would be getting from disenchanting was strange dust, and strange dust was selling on average for 15 silver, so I purchased nothing more expensive than strange dust.

the MMO universe dominated by World of Warcraft  posté le dimanche 04 mai 2008 09:51

"This week's round up of WoW-related posts on our sister site Massively covers many different angles of the MMO universe dominated by World of Warcraft.Gems Gems now searchable in the Auction House under the heading of Gem with the gems then broken up by color so you can search for all gems of a specific color. You can click on the links below or subscribe to a special WoW-only Massively feed. Now all you have to do is wait until the disenchanted items sell, and you can go and purchase more items to disenchant and sell as pure materials. Also be sure to read past the break, because there was an extra-special heaping lot of WoW-related goodness on Massively this week! Build Shop: Shaman 18/43/0 Today on Build Shop, we're going to take a look at a Shaman build that's a little different from the usual since we've already covered the basic cookie-cutter specs of Elemental, Enhancement, and Mike Schramm's personal variant of Restoration. You can use this method for higher valued items as you progress, just make sure you use the lowest priced material that the item will be disenchanted into as the highest price you will pay for an item that you will be disenchanting. The Enhancement spec that we'll tinker with will try to focus on the built-in synergy between some Elemental and Enhancement talents, as opposed to the more familiar complement of Restoration talents. So in the example above the lowest material that I would be getting from disenchanting was strange dust, and strange dust was selling on average for 15 silver, so I purchased nothing more expensive than strange dust. This Enhancement build is focused on dealing damage, with less focus on the raid or party utility that Restoration talents provide. Continue this wow gold farming method until you have enough gold or until your enchanting is high enough to move up to the next level of disenchanting PDA You might find a PDA (personal digital assistant) extremely helpful for running an auction house business.


You can take a quick look at the build here. Shock and awe For optimum DPS, an Enhancement Shaman's spell cycle should be punctuated by shocks, which are instant cast damage-dealing spells that don't interfere with a Shaman's swing timer.You can take notes, read lists, and so on. The biggest problem with utilizing shocks as part of an offensive spell cycle is the prohibitive mana cost, which can make a dent on an Enhancement Shaman's relatively low mana pool.You can also alt-tab out of the game instead of using a PDA to update your lists. wow mein gold de To alleviate this , we take 5/5 Convection from the first tier of the Elemental tree, which reduces the cost of Lightning and Shock spells by 10%. Naturally, we would also like to give as much punch to our shocks as much as possible, making 5/5 Concussion, also from the first tier, a convenient choice.Then there is the classic piece of paper and pen! Sound You can hit control-s to disable the sound effects if someone is making really annoying sounds in the auction house. 5/5 Reverberation, on the third tier of the Elemental tree, cranks up shock DPS by allowing the Shaman to throw out three shocks every fifteen seconds as opposed to two every twelve.Don't forget to re-enable them after you leave. On the fourth tier, there's an interesting talent called Elemental Devastation which seemed to have been specifically designed to complement Enhancement."Scott Hartsman’s roundtable at IMGDC was about scripts, stemming from a blog fight that I had missed. wow gold Although it's unlikely given the low spell crit of most Enhancement Shamans, even with a modest spell crit rating, 3/3 Elemental Devastation can confer a substantial 9% melee crit enough times to make the investment worth it.I summarize the consensus as, “Scripts are often implemented poorly.


" "In the Enhancement tree, taking 5/5 of the first tier Ancestral Knowledge is a no-brainer that boosts the Shaman's longevity in combat.If you are going to use them, take them seriously and design them well.” Designers know that players will work creatively to get around restrictions. While Chris' Enhancement Shaman Build Shop focused on raid utility, opting to go for improved totems, I'm going to recommend taking Improved Ghost Wolf and Improved Lightning Shield from the second tier.Players are bound by the limits of the code, not the intent of the vision. cheap world of warcraft gold With the changes to Ghost Wolf in Patch 2.4, it becomes an instant cast spell that can prove to be extremely useful in maneuvering in combat, specifically PvP.If a system can be broken, it will be. Because Enhancement Shamans are always in the thick of things, taking their fair share of hits, a constant refresh of Lightning Shield should boost our DPS by a decent margin. Because Enhancement is all about weapons, 5/5 Thundering Stikes from the second tier is another no-brainer talent.Programmers should know the same thing about designers. The higher the critical chance, the more Shamanistic Focus -- the next talent we'll pick up -- will proc.If you place artificial restrictions on the designers to keep them from mucking something up, they are still creative people who will find ways around them, sometimes breaking things more interestingly along the way. If you want to see how this applies in your game, think of how one thing can break while a seemingly identical other thing still works just fine. cheap wow gold The more times Shamanistic Focus procs, the more shock spells we'll be able to dish out.There is a good chance that two developers used the same tools to create the same outcome in different ways. Naturally, higher crit chance is also synergistic with Flurry, on the fourth tier.The latest patch changed something that one implementation depends upon, while the other is unaffected; for more fun, both could be broken in different ways. The faster our attacks, the more chances we have to crit again, and the cycle continues. On the fifth tier of Enhancement, we'll take Spirit and Elemental Weapons to boost our offensive punch.Good programming practices were not adhered to, and now the game is much harder to update. wow oro We take Spirit Weapons primarily because it's a pre-requisite for Dual-Wield and Elemental Weapons because we want to squeeze out as much Attack Power from Windfury Weapon.Now multiply that across several dozen people working over several years, most or all of whom now work on other products.

Valkors Gold Guide: I recently leveled my first level 70 WOW character,  posté le dimanche 04 mai 2008 09:47

"Valkors Gold Guide: I recently leveled my first level 70 WOW character, a Undead Warlock called Bainshie, with the 1-70 joana’s world of warcraft horde leveling guide.Gems Gems now searchable in the Auction House under the heading of Gem with the gems then broken up by color so you can search for all gems of a specific color. I’m now started exploring the endgame content, and working for my 280% flying mount. Now all you have to do is wait until the disenchanted items sell, and you can go and purchase more items to disenchant and sell as pure materials. (A whopping 5200 gold). You can use this method for higher valued items as you progress, just make sure you use the lowest priced material that the item will be disenchanted into as the highest price you will pay for an item that you will be disenchanting. Even though I’m going though strides with Kara and the such, I’ve stalled a bit with my Gold making. I have the professions tailoring and mining. So in the example above the lowest material that I would be getting from disenchanting was strange dust, and strange dust was selling on average for 15 silver, so I purchased nothing more expensive than strange dust. It might seem a little weird, but I picked Tailoring for the epic gear, and mining to sell the stuff I gather, and to help any blacksmiths in the guild to get their gear. Continue this wow gold farming method until you have enough gold or until your enchanting is high enough to move up to the next level of disenchanting PDA You might find a PDA (personal digital assistant) extremely helpful for running an auction house business. I can make a little amount of gold playing the market selling bags for 100% more then their AH mats cost, and adimantite goes for a nice 15 gold on my World of Warcraft server (Hellfire realm) but with the Kara repair costs mounting up, i was stuck around 500 gold I haven’t been through the entire ebook (It is huge!) but in about a week of casual playing, I’ve increased my bank balance to 2500 gold, this is even with funding Tailoring without the use of enchanting.You can take notes, read lists, and so on.


With a risk free grinding area there are places where i can make around 200 gold an hour with a little luck. Making Gold before the Valkors Gold Guide: I’ve sold two epic items (from world drops) for around 150 gold while leveling to 60, and i had more then enough gold from general playing to buy any mounts i needed has soon has i reached the required level.You can also alt-tab out of the game instead of using a PDA to update your lists. wow gold I generally sell most of the items i gain, so gold flow before was no problem.Then there is the classic piece of paper and pen! Sound You can hit control-s to disable the sound effects if someone is making really annoying sounds in the auction house. This was before Kara and the massive 5000 gold mount.Don't forget to re-enable them after you leave. When i reached level 70 i found that World of Warcraft quests where a little rarer, meaning i didn’t get the money i was getting before. I’ve tried lots of simple things, selling WOW First Aid books and green Items etc, but after level 61, green items no longer sell, meaning they are less valuable then the lvl 50-60 ones! this meant I no longer had a steady cash flow, and my WOW Gold amount felt the blow. So I was doing OK making WOW gold, but after trying a little of the World of Warcraft gold ebook tips I’m doing a LOT better and will soon be able to cruise around at speed on my epic flying mount " ."Scott Hartsman’s roundtable at IMGDC was about scripts, stemming from a blog fight that I had missed. buying wow gold I summarize the consensus as, “Scripts are often implemented poorly.

the Boar's Charge problem to the Auto-cast defect  posté le dimanche 04 mai 2008 09:46

"In one way or another, the Growl ability of pets oftentimes finds itself saddled with bugs from its involvement with the Boar's Charge problem to the Auto-cast defect.Gems Gems now searchable in the Auction House under the heading of Gem with the gems then broken up by color so you can search for all gems of a specific color. Now, over at the World of Warcraft forums, gamer Xsfer is having some confusion with the Growl ability and the patch notes. According to the patch notes, ""the hunter pet ability Growl will no longer scale with pet Attack Power."" Blizzard community manager Nethaera dropped by the said thread and gave a series of swift replies, clarifying that Growl will scale with a pet's Attack Power. Okay, so that's more of a contradiction than a clarification. Now all you have to do is wait until the disenchanted items sell, and you can go and purchase more items to disenchant and sell as pure materials. So Nethaera followed that up with a clearer elaboration: Growl was scaling incorrectly before so it's been changed to scale with the hunter's AP starting at around 1200 AP. You can use this method for higher valued items as you progress, just make sure you use the lowest priced material that the item will be disenchanted into as the highest price you will pay for an item that you will be disenchanting. Other pet abilities such as bite, claw, etc will still scale with pet AP. If you are unaware of the Growl attribute, it is an ability of a hunter pet to generate pure threat (lots of it) especially in Aggro situations. So in the example above the lowest material that I would be getting from disenchanting was strange dust, and strange dust was selling on average for 15 silver, so I purchased nothing more expensive than strange dust.


Nethaera added that the patch changes will not change the normal amount of threat produced by Growl. 2.4.2 PTR open for business Wondering how Blizzard's latest patch for World of Warcraft may affect your gameplay. Continue this wow gold farming method until you have enough gold or until your enchanting is high enough to move up to the next level of disenchanting PDA You might find a PDA (personal digital assistant) extremely helpful for running an auction house business. If you're not to keen on a guessing game, then how about giving them a try.You can take notes, read lists, and so on. Hortus dropped by the WoW forums earlier to announce that the Public Test Realms are now open for WoW's upcoming patch 2.4.2. That aside, Hortus reminds the PTR's prospective gamers to take heed of several warnings, most of which are regarding the realm's authentication mechanics.You can also alt-tab out of the game instead of using a PDA to update your lists. Here's a short list of the blue-poster's reminders: If your account was not active prior to that date you will not have access to the 2.4.2 PTR. Also if your account was not upgraded to Burning Crusade prior to April 22nd you will not have access to characters over level 60 or any Burning Crusade content. If you have changed your password since April 22nd you will need to use the password on your account from that date. There are no pre-mades for 2.4.2 Only accounts that are already eligible for live arena realms will be able to connect to the Test Arena realm. Those interested in asking Hortus any questions regarding patch 2.4.2's PTR will want to visit the original thread via the source link below.Then there is the classic piece of paper and pen! wow powerlevel Sound You can hit control-s to disable the sound effects if someone is making really annoying sounds in the auction house.

It can be a lot of fun because buying and selling items is a fun alternative to fighting. wowgold I will check the weapons category first and then check the armour category next. I am searching for items that can be disenchanted that are valued at less than the average price of a single strange dust. So in my example the average price of a strange dust was 15 silver, so I purchase every green item that I can afford that is selling for less than 15 silver. buy cheap wow gold Once you have purchased enough items head to the mail box and pick up the items you purchased and begin disenchanting them. These items will disenchant into strange dust, greater magic essence, and lesser magic essence. When you have finished disenchanting all of the items you need to head back to the AH and start listing the materials that the items disenchanted into. eq2 platinum If you need some help pricing the items for the AH check out my article: The Best Way to Sell Farmed items. .

spec for more damage  posté le vendredi 11 avril 2008 05:09

"hey, i have a 70 mage that im pretty happy with. however, i dont think im doing enough dps in 5-mans and raids. in heroic dungeons i usually open with a couple scorches, then a fire blast. however, i can hardly get a fireball off before the mob is dead. PvP is okay, ive got some good instant casts which help me maintain a high standing on the kill chart. Don't bother with scorches in a 5 man/heroic. Not worth the time except on big single mob pulls. Basic rule: If you can get off 3 fireballs after 2 scorches, scorch twice. Else, just fireball. Save fireblast for something you don't have time to fireball before it dies. mp3 player As for spec, while the spec you've linked will improve your damage a bit, you're going about it the wrong way. As much fire damage as you have, if you're gonna be that deep in fire, you really really should have empowered fireball. That's something like 108 more damage to your fireballs ignoring all other talents. You're also underestimating combustion. And for raids, losing Molten Fury is crazy talk. As I level my mage, the concept of using different abilities in different situation intruiges me. lecteur mp3 I'm guessing that in end-game, scorch is more mana-efficient (albeit a lot weaker DPS) than fireball, and fire blast is just the opposite. Thus, on fights where I need high mana efficiency (such as magtheridon, or maybe trash if we're powering through) scorch spam would be best, on really short fights a 2xBall 1xBlast rotation would be best (with 1 point in imp blast, of course), and then for other fights either just fireball spam or scorch x5 (then hold) and fireball spam. I could be completely wrong, but that's my guess. If I am wrong, PLEASE correct me, so that I may learn." "Hi, I rolled a new mage and he's 29 right now, with talents that look like this.


At 30 I get a choice between PoM and Arcane Mind. wow mein gold de Would I be missing out that much by skipping PoM till I've maxed AM. I figured I wouldn't get much use out of PoM, since none of the spells I use regularly have casting times (I'm assuming PoM doesn't do anything to arcane missiles, correct. ), and on the other hand the extra int looks really tasty (I'm pretty happy with my damage, but mana is often running low; arcane meditation has helped a lot though). When I do get PoM (if I don't pick it up next level, it'll be at 35; I'll get it eventually regardless), what's the best use for it. I can only think of it turning my currently redundant fireball spell into a second fireblast. wow gold Also, on a slightly related subject, does anybody know whether Arcane Mind is additive or multiplicative with blessing of kings. 1st question: Not really sure but i would guess you would be better of if you saved POM for later, it doesn't serve much use without Pyroblast. 2nd question: I believe blessing of kings does 10% to your already 15% boosted intellect. So if your intellect was 300 and arcane mind made it 345, and than bok making it 379. This is what i think is true but im not totally sure. Ever try to aoe a bunch of mobs and bite off more than you could chew. cheap wow gold Has happened to me a few times and the pom-flame strike has helped me more than once. There maybe better talents you could take this early on, but its definately worth getting. Another interesting use of PoM is like in a neutral town like gadgetzan or something. Open up a portal, then target some pathetic unsuspecting fool, pyro pom-pyro fireblast, then jump in the portal to escape the guards.


Hillarious. " .
