So I finally managed to dodge the angry barrage of 2k+ rated rogues running vial and hit 2.2k. The problem is I am currently too scared to que because of the shear amount of vial trinkets out there and the possibility of running into legendary daggers.

I have never been this scared in my life, I haven’t played arena in over 2 weeks. I am currently having nightmares of rogues opening on me and killing me. It’s not only rogues who keep me away from arena, Hunter/Melee cleaves are almost equally as scary. I like arena, I just dislike dying in openers. I dislike dying in openers so much that I can’t even arena anymore. In WOTLK I never had this problem because it was actually balanced around that burst meaning people couldn’t just rush in and spam CC and get a kill without risk of getting counter globalled. Cata burst is not intended therefore not prepared for meaning it’s just plain stupid and gives unfair advantages to one side who can rush in and spend 30 second on CC people while being immune to damage and CC.

I don’t really know what to do with myself. More >

No less than four malevolent entities will adorn a special set of collectable drinking cups, available soon at ampm convenience stores. Beginning February 7, raiders of the Horde and Alliance can recount their victories over Azeroth’s most infamous villains as they sip their favorite fountain beverage from new new limited edition cups featuring Kil’jaeden, Illidan, the Lich King, and Deathwing.

These are true collector’s pieces, made only out of the best types of material from which polymer-based cups are typically forged. These four masters of evil may not have survived your sweet hand of justice, but they may just survive your dishwasher. For only $1.99 these cups will hold just about anything, from water or soda, to sand, rocks, or even other smaller cups!

Get a first look at the designs here. http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/community/contests/form/ampm-cup/

You don’t get much more charming than the Knitting Grandma, the surprise hit guest at last fall’s BlizzCon 2011 WoW Insider Reader Meetup. Remember her? She charmed our staff and meetup guests alike with her dry wit and talk of Thunder Bluff-themed socks.

Today, we press forward from the warm, fuzzy territory covered by the Knitting Grandma with two window-rattling volleys in the battle against gamer stereotypes:

You don’t have to be a granny to knit and play World of Warcraft. Even the author of Clique, the preeminent click-casting addon, gets his knit on. Whether they knit or not, even grannies can be GMs. Of raiding guilds. Who’ve raided since original Molten Core. And top the DPS meters. Wielding Dragonwrath, Tarecgosa’s Rest. (So yes, that does indeed qualify her to tell you kids to “GET OFF MY LAWN!”)

Meet Marthazon, the 70-year-old GM of Spartans on Dalaran (US-A).

So my question is, with only 6 ’tiers’ of talents after MoP, what is happening to all the other talents that are currently in game? Are they going to be skills you learn from your class trainer, either active or passive? Or removed from the game completely?

A little of both.

To better explain, let’s divide the current talents into five categories: 1) mandatory, 2) very cool, but not mandatory, 3) sort of cool, 4) boring, and 5) useless.

We’re going to give you all of the “mandatory” talents to your class spec, and you’ll learn those talents at certain levels like you do with core class spells. Players who skip over what we consider mandatory talents today — like Raging Blow or Hot Streak — are unintentionally (or maybe even intentionally) gimping themselves, and that’s not what we want to have happen. We want players to be able to experience the full power of their class, so we’re going to award certain talents straight-out.

The second category of talents — the cool, but not mandatory ones — are really the heart of the new talent system (they’re the talents you’ll probably be choosing from in each of new six More >

While there’s still no release date set for Diablo III, it seems the release may be further off than some players were guessing, judging by the latest round of sweeping system overhauls. A new post by game director Jay Wilson goes over several major changes being made to the game, starting with the fact that Scrolls of Identify are gone. You have a short casting time to identify and item and that’s it, with no need to carry around a separate item.

The latest changes also remove the Mystic artisan, the Cauldron of Jordan, and the Nephalem Cube. The latter two were removed due to the inclusion of a Town Portal button, making trips back and forth far easier, while the Mystic artisan lacked a sufficiently defined role amidst other item modifications. There’s also a major stat overhaul, which reduces the core attributes to Strength, Dexterity, Intellect, and Vitality. They’re far-reaching changes, and only time will tell how much their impact might slow the game’s release as the team tests the altered systems.
