So here we are again, on the verge of the final major patch of this expansion. It feels like only yesterday when we were all raging at M’uru wipes. Here’s a brief overview and reaction to the upcoming patch.
There are a LOT of changes coming to the new player experience system. Believe it or not there are still people out there that don’t play this game. I know it’s hard to believe! Between not getting dazed any more in the first five levels and rogues starting out actually dual-wielding, I’d say this is a welcome improvement for new and old players alike. Updated tooltips will help better explain what your abilities actually do to a newbie. These changes are awesome and will vastly improve new player experience.

As an avid World of Warcraft gamer, I have been witness to many boss fights. Actually, I’ve done every boss in the game come to think of it. Not all the hard modes, but you get the idea. I’m going to do a famed top ten list. This list is my personal favorite raid boss encounters in the game. There will be a bit of bias towards vanilla WoW, simply because it offered the most challenge.

Biggest damage multiplier in the game to date, I believe. When he was evocating he’d take like 400% more damage. Big numbers make us nerds go “HURRGHH,” and white knuckle our wireless WoW gaming mice with excitement. Yeah, really… it’s that fun, I promise.
For The Alliance? For The Horde? What side are you on? There’s so much that can be argued regarding the differences between leveling Horde as opposed to leveling Alliance. I’m not going to drone on and bore you to tears covering every single angle of this issue, so in that light – here it is: Horde players will say that leveling an Alliance character is playing wow on “easy mode”. Alliance players will fight tooth and nail to prove that the “Hordies” have an easier time leveling than they do. Is there a faction that is easier to level than the other?
Let’s be honest here. The majority of WoW players who argue one side or the other are players that either: A, are new to the game (By new I mean a player who has only leveled ONE character). Or B, players who stick only to one faction without even giving the other side at least a 20-30 level shot. For those players in the latter category, before you pass judgment based on ignorance and, well let’s face it, LAZYNESS – do me a favor? Log on, create a new character of the opposing faction and give that toon’s leveling the old “college try”. Either that or RESEARCH the other side, at the very least!

You may have come back to visit Azeroth because, you genuinely have nothing else better to do with your time. You sit at home on your computer, you may or may not be un-employed watching the commercials for the games and expansions on YouTube starring such stars as, Ozzy Osbourne, William Shatner and Mr.T and think why did I stop playing that game again? You have finished all the other games in your collection up until this point. So you head out to your local Best Buy or Gamestop and pick yourself up a new game card and jump back on the metaphorical band wagon to see if you can hit another level 80 before the next update comes out, but not before downloading the newest patch since you last played which is many hundreds of megabytes in size. Better get out the Red Bull and a bag of Lays because, usually these types of return players are the ones who end up playing for hours on end without realizing how long they were actually playing for. If you have ever been playing from the time you woke up till the time you went to sleep and wondered where you day went, you may fit into this category… or you may have a problem.
Let’s Begin with the new Worgen town known as Gilneas. It has been hidden behind the Graymane walls, but now that the Cataclysm has ripped open those walls, we can see that there were humans back there! Humans that have been turned into some kind of warewolf guys. From the few pictures we have of the town it seems to look like something out of a Tim Burton movie. Long skinny houses, gloomy setting, with appearntly lots of rain. Blizzard Describes the town on their site in their own mystic words.
The World of Warcraft: Cataclysm announcement came to us with a few surprises. Many things will be changing with the expansion, including nearly every zone in Azeroth. I was personally surprised by this move. I thought (and a lot of people were with me on this one) that the Emerald Dream or perhaps something related to Pandaria. Even when information leaked that the expansion would indeed be Cataclysm, part of me though that some of the things that were announced were a bit ridiculous.
Night elf mages confused me, because I was under the impression that Night Elves couldn’t practice arcane magic. It was later addressed by Ghostcrawler, saying it would make sense when you play as one. Alright GC, guess we have to trust you on that one. Some people were arguing that goblin shaman don’t make sense. Looking at it from a lore standpoint, there is no reason to think otherwise. There’s no evidence in goblin lore that is definitive enough to say, “Why are goblins allowed to be shaman?” Also, certain other MMOs have had goblin shaman from the beginning, and it does seem to fit.
