PVP - Can There Be Class Balance?

幻想世界 — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 18:04:34 +0800

"The game is somewhat well ""balanced"" as long as you're willing to be a class and spec and be geared in a certain way that are all PvP-compatible.-Good special effects. There are a few classes that were OP earlier in BC (Warlocks would be the best example) which have since been toned down (I.e.Though as I mentioned earlier, things like the ridiculous fight scene between the mage and paladin were... Resilience now affects DoTs).ridiculous... There are other classes that were fine (Hunter) and got nerfed (MP5 change accidentally made them nigh useless in high-end 2s).the effects were very well done. Overall, though, things are working...I say it's "putrid, but in a sexy way" with tongue in cheek, of course. Any class can, should they choose to set themselves up for it, and have enough knowledge and skill for it, do well in PvP.This evil Mias lady is half-naked. What I don't like are people who don't take the time to learn, and just assume that because they do well on the PvE side of the game, or by the grace of the fact that they were able to level up to 70, that they should be good at PvP.She's in chain-slave-bondage. Any time they fail, it is either that their class needs a buff, the class that killed them needs a nerf, or the enemy has ""no life"" because he has better gear.Oh, and ... I have a nice screenshot of a guy who rolled on my server to tell me off during a BG.I'm not one of those guys who has all the cup sizes memorized, but I'm pretty sure that proportionally this is on the higher end. He was a terrible Hunter who wanted to let me know that the only reason I beat him was that rogues are OP.No, I'm not gushing; I actually have a point! WoW Insider has talked about sexism in WoW before, but usually we've focused on the actions and words of some male players, and not so much on things like the art style of the game or the TCG.

I remembered who he was and simply said ""LOL you trinketed out of Cheap Shot"" ...I'm not making a judgment here; I'm just pondering. If you don't take the time to learn the fine details, be prepared to get beat over and over by the many players who have.And the compliments:I was torn on posting this one. Overall, I think PvP is as balanced as such a complex system can be.The glitch looks almost too bizarre to be true, and I suspect a lot of people will say it's been photoshopped. Kudos to Blizzard for trying, and for being a lot faster at making changes than they were in the old days." .But stranger things have happened in-game (i.e. wow powerleveling gnomes with night elf faces) and I tend to believe our contributors. I'm not a UI or Photoshop expert by any means, so I'll leave it up to you guys. I once got dc'd from stv and found myself way out in the ocean when I loged, with mobs flying over my head. po wow according to my team mates it stated I was still in svt but was completely south of tanaris. just to prove a point I swam to what according to there map placements that non anything area above swamp of sarrows. I then reloged to find my self in an endless fall when I re-loged in unable to hearth, use auto unstuck of even logout because I was in that area... gold für wow theres realy nothing there lol. I have the screen shots to prove it. -The plot is interesting, though very much unexplained. eve isk I like the Silithid and the AQ stuff, and if there is more, I would really like to see some more of that. It makes it feel like there is an actual purpose to all of this.

-Much, much, much better voice acting. des po wow There were a few moments where something sounded like the actor was eating the microphone while speaking, but they were few and far between. -Excellent scenery. Seeing some of the stuff back on Kalimdor and the Eastern kingdoms is really nice after being in Outland all the time. I'd have to say this was probably the best part.

how many characters did you roll before your main?

"I'm kinda curious about how many different classes everyone had to try out before they settled on the class that was 'the one'.-Good special effects. I chose hunter before I even installed the game- and this was even back when hunters were still kinda crappy.Though as I mentioned earlier, things like the ridiculous fight scene between the mage and paladin were... It wasn't a tough decision for me at all, since I played Ragnarok Online before WoW, and I was a hunter in that game, too.ridiculous... I've also tried several other classes, but it just doesn't seem as though anything else really clicks with me.the effects were very well done. The only other class that I've really enjoyed playing was Warlock, but mostly because I use the hunterlock playstyle. Classes or toons.I once got dc'd from stv and found myself way out in the ocean when I loged, with mobs flying over my head. If toons, then about 9.according to my team mates it stated I was still in svt but was completely south of tanaris. If classes; I chose a nelf huntard, deleted that, tauren warrior and UD lock about the same time, troll hunter, then later a draenei hunter which is my current Alliance main(as I like to say).just to prove a point I swam to what according to there map placements that non anything area above swamp of sarrows. Horde.I then reloged to find my self in an endless fall when I re-loged in unable to hearth, use auto unstuck of even logout because I was in that area... Eh, I'll get around to them again, hopefully I'll have a 70 of every class, if I play WOW for that long. I had a 60 hunter before I rolled my rogue, leveled him to 60, got into raiding, Naxx came out, got into that, then quit before I could get T3.theres realy nothing there lol.

I then rolled a spriest, leveled to 60, PvPed, TBC came out, leveled to 70, got my epic, quit for my hunter, leveled him to 70, quit for my rogue, and have had my rogue as my main ever since.I have the screen shots to prove it. The total time I've had other toons as mains is probably about an equal amount of time to when I've had my rogue as my main, maybe a bit less.-The plot is interesting, though very much unexplained.

Rogues need them and people think that Resilience Killed them.It makes it feel like there is an actual purpose to all of this. This is wrong.-Much, much, much better voice acting.

"Tenryuu of the Shattered Sun will be quite pleased to find that I’ve finally crossed to the other side.-The plot is interesting, though very much unexplained. No, no, not that side.I like the Silithid and the AQ stuff, and if there is more, I would really like to see some more of that. Too many dirty humans running around over there.It makes it feel like there is an actual purpose to all of this. I’m talking about the Dark Portal.

Digihedo news:iPod Touch Unbox Improved - Sort of

幻想世界 — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 17:54:15 +0800

"We find it interesting how when a new iPod MP3 players appears the first thing someone wants to do is rip it apart - literally - for the benefit of others."Creative announced that it is shipping the first 16GB flash DAP MP3 player. So when the iPod MP3 player touch appeared dozens of folk had to ""touch"" it and place the results online.An update to the Zen V Plus player line, the new unit can be identied from the other versions by the use of white trim accents. But we guess the secret of creating an iPod MP3 player touch unbox segment for the Net is not creating the best iPod touch unbox photo or video layout, but the first iPod touch photo or video layout.8GB and 4GB units will use the blue accent like the picture to the right, and the 2GB unit utilizes green. This has led to a slew of quick, shaky camera iPod videos along with the associated nasal ramblings of it's creator as they turn the camera on themselves, try to think of a few words to say, and then turn it back to the iPod.Otherwise, the features between all flavors of the Zen V Plus are identical including a built-in FM tuner and voice recorder. Prototypes of 16GB units were spotted at various electronics shows lately, but the Zen V Plus is the first to The new 16GB MP3 player will retail for $249 US. best mp3 player When we picked up our iPod MP3 players touch we wondered if we can improve on the unbox video thing just a little bit.The 8GB unit retails for $169, the 4GB MP3 players for $109 and the 2GB MP3 players for $89, just $10 more than the ultra-spartan 1GB iPod shuffle. So we gave it a try, but sure enough once we got the damn thing out of the box we had to postpone our little shoot.We expect Apple to announce the first 16GB flash iPod MP3 players this fall, most likely for the nano line, and to see the iPod shuffle get a bump to 2GB.

It seems our 2 1/2 year-old Mac wasn't iPod touch worthy.

That's just a matter of opinion.Aimed towards the jogging set, the Jet comes with a 1.5 OLED display, a stopwatch, and a body mass index calculator.

"The Pirate Bay is one of the web's most popular BitTorrent sites, but the BitTorrent corporation itself would like to possess greater control of its technology."Zebronics has launched two new MP3 players; the Uno and the Gamma.

proposal from the French Ministry of Culture could hit online music and movie piracy very hard with a very big stick if it goes ahead. In addition to the existing law, introduced only last year, which made unauthorised file-sharing a criminal offence carrying a 30,000 Euro fine and up to six months in prison, the new proposals seek to kick pirates off the Internet altogether. Along with other measures such as the watermarking of digital content, the Ministry of Culture plans include the controversial concepts of monitoring and tracking the movement of those watermarked files and the people who move them. A registry would be created to log those users accused of piracy by the copyright holders, and following official investigation a three strikes and you are out system will issues two warnings and finally forced termination of the ISP contract. Unsurprisingly, the government plans have been warmly welcomed by the French media industry which is keen to implement the watermarking system. I understand that agreements have already been signed with TV channels, film makers and ISPs to this effect. For its part, the French government will set up a new agency to monitor Internet traffic and deal with the complaints process. French president Nicolas Sarkozy said of the deal "We run the risk of witnessing a genuine destruction of culture" adding "The Internet must not become a high-tech Far West, a lawless zone where outlaws can pillage works with abandon or, worse, trade in them in total impunity. Although there has been some expected backlash from consumer rights groups which suggest a digital divide will be created at exactly the same time as the government is putting more citizen services online, it seems doubtful that any determined pirate would be unable to route around the ISP blacklist. Apart from anything else, there is always the Internet café approach to connectivity after all.

What is of more concern, of course, is the potential conflict within French law. best mp3 player In particular the constitutional protection of innocence until proved guilty, when that decision will rest with a bureaucratic government department rather than a court of law. One open source computing pressure group in France has even gone so far as to suggest the proposals will, in effect, create a private Internet police force. That, perhaps, is an accusation too far considering that it will be an independent authority supervised by a judge that will decide if users lose their Internet access... mp4 players "Power of Two gives you the opportunity to create your own minion in EVE to do your bidding, be it to obtain ISK or fight your enemies. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Power of Two is available to everyone with an active EVE subscription.

"chapter 2

幻想世界 — Mon, 7 Apr 2008 15:51:29 +0800

"In game, character knowledge can best be described as lore, and it is in seeking out the lore of WoW where you as a player will gain the knowledge that your character should be equipped with. From conception and on throughout the virtual life of your character, you should be continually reading the lore of WoW for the purpose of advancing its' personality (just like we do in our real lives) and enhancing your own RP factor through it. Since your character cannot learn on its' own, and we players have the advantage of living in the age of the Internet, the following websites are ones I use most often to learn for my characters. WoWWiki is one of the first places I click to for all WoW things lore-wise. It is a great base of knowledge for many other in game items also, but the already extensive and growing lore being housed here is where the site really shines for RP'ers interested in such. Specifically for new characters, I would point to the links leading to and through the Timeline as a starting place on their path of knowledge. Of course, none of the others should be missed, including Class Lore, Locations, Religions, and on, depending on just how wise and intelligent you want your character to be. Kudos to Blizzard for making the lore of the WoW universe available in game, through quests and quest givers, in Instances, and in a variety of other ways, including books. I have sat down at a table with a readable book many times to just read and learn, which I know is another mark of RP nerdiness. Hey, I'm guilty. However, one thing missing is an in game library where a character can go to find and read every book in WoW. I think that would be rather enjoyable, especially if Blizzard announced RP-style when new books were made available there.

Fear not, players! Until that happens, simply click over to Wowhead, where you can find a fantastic (and complete. wow honor leveling ) listing of in game books, their contents, and their locations. Of course, Wowhead has much more to offer, like listing for weapons, reagents, Factions, flora and fauna, and many other things that would be sensible starter knowledge for a new and growing character. Last but not least comes Blizzplanet, a great site not only for the Story Arcs and race lore stored there, but also for their rather large RP community, the Blizzplanet Roleplay Association. Outside of the game, you'd be hard pressed to find a better gathering place of like-minded RP'ers. It is Blizzplanet that sparked the flaming mind storm I had when I created my Troll Priest, Wichdocta, which came after reading The Loa gods Lore page there. It was an excellent page I kept going back to for some few weeks afterward as I developed Wichdocta's initial personality, and I'm sure it would help you do the same. Of course, it is entirely conceivable to RP a character who is born into WoW knowing all that there is to know about the universe therein, but I think that would strip away one of the greatest features about RP'ing: the sense of adventure. wow level service Finding out what's over the next hill by going over that hill yourself is one of the top items on the list of things that keep me logging in night after night, and I think that could be said for many other RP'ers I know. Also bear in mind that, while there is a ton of information on these websites, don't let that overwhelm you by thinking you need to read every page immediately. As your character moves on down their path, keep these sites close by and refer to them when you feel the need. " "Think about all the accumulated knowledge you have about life currently stored away in your brain cells.

Don't know about you, but it simply boggles my mind, and I certainly don't consider myself to be a highly intelligent person. But make no mistake, the sheer mass of data each and every one of us have would fill volumes. wow lvl service Everything you have learned from the minute you were born until this very moment is an immense amount, and taken together, has helped you to become the very person you are today. So, the question is: how do you share what you know now with your character at its 'birth'. Considering our true selves do not currently live in a tangible world of elves and demons, what do I need to learn as a player about such a world that would greatly enhance my roleplaying a character who does exist in such a world. Read along with me as I share some thoughts and ideas that may help you do just that. The basis for all of this comes from an incredibly important aspect of RP I learned very early in my Dungeons & Dragons days, and that is knowing the difference between player knowledge and character knowledge. Player knowledge is what you as a player know about WoW, or whatever game you are playing. Things like number crunching spell and weapon damage, where to find true silver ore nodes, the correct order for lighting the candles in the Sunken Temple, etc.. wow gold All this and so much more is knowledge that you as a player have garnered through playing WoW, from talking to other players, reading, or any other means. Character knowledge is what your avatar knows about the world it exists in, and it is one of the major points that define a roleplayer, because RP'ers have a very keen sense towards keeping it far separate from player knowledge. Since characters are not born into the world as infants, it can be reasoned they have had some experiences in their life up to the point where you take over. Your character does not know that a Flash Heal (Rank 1) spell costs 125 mana points and heals 202-247 hit points. Your character may know, however, that that spell does not require as much mana to cast compared to a Flash Heal (Rank 7) spell, but that it also doesn't heal as much health as the higher level spell. There a many other examples that could be used here, but it all should be common sense that new characters just don't know all that much about their world. wow power leveling So, just what does your character know when you create it and log in with it for the very first time, and then for each subsequent time thereafter.

Black Morass (normal)

幻想世界 — Mon, 7 Apr 2008 15:48:28 +0800

"The Dark Portal Event (as it is officially known) is the bane of many players fresh from the grind to level 70. The Infinite Dragonflight, bent on altering the present, have sought to interfere with Medivh’s opening of the Dark Portal. Sent back into time, you and your friends are the only hope of preserving temporal stability. Into the Black Morass you must venture, an extension of the Swamp of Sorrows that would later become the Blasted Lands. Unlike a normal dungeon, Black Morass (BM) takes place in a single location, with monsters pouring out of time-release portals. These servants of the Infinite Dragonflight are dead-set on killing Medivh, who is trying to open the Dark Portal and only has so much power in his shield before it collapses and he is overrun. Where IS the damn place. It’s easy to miss BM and its sister instance, Escape from Durnholde (or Old Hillsbrad). Both are in the Caverns of Time, which is along the eastern shore of Tanaris. What separates these instances from their Outland brethren is that neither of them are very traditional. Both are highly scripted and revolve around questlines specific to them. In Durnholde you’re tasked with the escape of Thrall and in BM the defense of Medivh. In order to access BM, you must first complete Durnholde, as turning in the quest from there unlocks the BM quest. Pertinent Quests [70] The Black Morass – Andormu After completing the Durnhold quest, Andormu informs you that another moment in time requires your attention: the opening of the dark portal by Medivh. wow honor leveling This quest lets you enter the instance portal and is turned it to a NPC right inside the door. [70] The Opening of the Dark Portal – Sa’at You receive this quest upon entering the BM instance. In it, you must defend Medivh from the Infinite Dragonflight intrusion while he attempts to open the Dark Portal to allow the orcs of Draenor to enter Azeroth.

In order to assist you, Sa’at gives each player a “Chronobeacon,” which, when used, summons a bronze dragon that will briefly help you. If you use one on a boss, the boss with despawn it after a few seconds. If you do manage to protect Medivh long enough for the portal to be opened, return to Sa’at for further instructions. " "This guy is easier than he is in normal mode if you ask me. wow level service The fight has been changed in heroic to a fight similar to Thaddius in Nax. Every thirty seconds Mechano will cast a change polarity. This will assign you a debuff that is either red (with a – sign) or blue (with a + sign). What you want to do when your party is charged is gather up in separate spots for each charge. All the positive charged in one area and all negative in another. wow lvl service Mechano still spawns the bombs he did in normal mode so make sure you tank him on the stairs where he is on the ground level and you are positioned halfway up the stairs on the edge. Another change to this fight is that he no longer puts up anti-melee damage shield and the spell reflect shield, so you can DPS for the entire fight. Make sure you have your party watch their agro though because the advantage to standing on top of party members with the same charge as you is that you get a % damage increase per person near each other. On the contrary, if you are next to someone who has an opposite charge, you will hit each other for around 2000 damage. After you kill the boss, go ahead and move to where he patrolled and pull the second mini boss: Gatewatcher Iron-Hand.

Nothing has changed about this guy from heroic except he hits harder. wow gold Make sure you dispel the shadow power and that all melee in the party out range the pelvic thrust maneuver (It’s not really called that but just look at what he does closely when the emote goes off…blizzard and their sexual subliminal messages). Proceed up the elevator and continue to clear the instance, you will not see any new mobs for the remainder of the instance. The kill order is: Tempest Forge Destroyer Bloodwarder Centurion x2 Sunseeker Astromage x2 Tempest Forge Destroyer Bloodwarder Centurion x2 Sunseeker Astromage x2 EVENT 1: 1st x2 Sunseeker Astromage, Bloodwarder Centurion, Bloodwarder Physician 2nd Tempest Forge Destroyer 3rd x2 Sunseeker Engineer, Bloodwarder Physician EVENT 2: 1st Astromage, Physician, Engineer 2nd Tempest-Forge Destroyer 3rd Sunseeker Astromage, Bloodwarder Phsyician, Sunseeker Netherbinder, Sunseeker Engineer Pathaleon the Calculator: Not much changed on this guy he just does more damage. Make sure that you have a person who doesn’t do a lot of damage stand on top of him. He will mind control that person every time. wow power leveling As far as dealing with the adds that spawn, I suggest if you have a warlock to fear the adds the entire time. Just gage your fears logically and DPS him as fast as you can till the enrage on which the adds will despawn. Nethermancer Sepethrea: This boss has changed for the worst in heroic. The two adds have turned into three and they no longer move slower than normal speed. A trick to doing this is to have someone who can kite well pull the boss when the rest of your party waits on the bridge to Pathaleon. When she is aggroed because the person who pulled is the only one in visible range for the NPC her adds will automatically target them. When Sepethrea comes running past the area your party is waiting, just taunt her off and kill her. The adds DO NOT change target in heroic mode, they will stay on the person they target from the start the entire time when pulling that way, this is why she is pulled last (to allow for ample space to kite the adds down the bridge into Pathaleon’s cleared room and back).

Bosses guide 2

"Aeonus – The final boss of Black Morass is a giant black dragon that runs directly for Medivh after emerging from his portal. Feel free to let him beat on Medivh’s shield while you get ready for the encounter, he damages it rather slowly and assuming it’s at 50% or higher you should have plenty of time to drink up and get ready for this challenging boss. Like the other bosses in this instance, Aeonus is a pretty simple tank and spank. Like most dragons, he has a breath attack, so make sure to tank him facing away from the party, lest they also get blasted by his frontal cone breath. Adds don’t spawn during this final fight, but any chronobeacons that are used will be rather swiftly dispelled by Aeonus, so don’t expect anything from them. Time Stop – The most complicated of Aeonus’ abilities. Occasionally he will stop time for 4 seconds, preventing all players from acting at all during the duration. He will continue to act and can even use his breath attack and frenzy while the healers are incapacitated. In order to counter this, try and keep the MT topped off at all times, just in case a time stop does land. In addition, keep as many HoTs on the MT as possible, as these will continue to tick during the time stop. This ability can also be resisted, so if you’re lucky you can skip a whole rotation. Sand Breath – Aeonus’ breath weapon that hits in a frontal cone for about 3k damage with an additional 100% attack speed debuff. wow honor leveling Face Aeonus away from the party to prevent unnecessary damage from this ability. Not much of a problem on its own, this ability becomes a bigger issue when it is chained with frenzy or time stop, resulting in massive spike damage. Frenzy – Occasionally Aeonus will go into a frenzy, increasing his attack speed temporarily.

If you happen to have a Molten Core experienced hunter in your party, tranquilizing shot will remove the frenzy. Otherwise you just have to heal through it and be ready for a unlucky frenzy / time stop combo. Once Aeonus is defeated, the assault on Medivh ends and his plans to open the dark portal comes to fruition. Speak to Medivh and be ready for a cool looking event. wow level service Don’t forget to speak with Sa’at on the way out to turn in the main quest for the instance for a rather hefty reputation bonus with the Keepers of Time. " "Chrono Lord Deja – On portal 6 this super-sized drakonid will spawn. Adds will still be coming out of the portal, so make sure somebody is taking care of them, as this boss doesn’t requires the same level of DPS that the second boss does. He melees rather heavily and has a few different abilities, but is generally a tank and spank type of encounter. Time Lapse – This is a regularly cast debuff on the MT that reduces attack, casting, and movement speed by 60%. It’s a magic debuff so just dispel it if you can, otherwise don’t worry too much about it. Arcane Discharge – Inflicts 2-2.5k arcane damage to everybody in 45 yards. Much like other level 70 instance bosses, party healing is required. wow lvl service If you’re having a hard time keeping up with this, bring an off-healer like a paladin or a shaman to help out keeping the rest of the party up. AoE Knockback – Occasionally he’ll knock back everybody in range, but stay on the tank. Just a nuisance more than anything. Temporus – On portal 12, a black shimmering drake will appear. This boss can prove to be a serious problem for many groups due to his stacking debuff that reduces the healing taken on the MT.

There are two ways to deal with this: first, you can simply bring an off-tank. If the MT gets too many stacks, he can back of building aggro and let the off-tank steal Temporus from him. wow gold This is difficult to manage, but if you can get good it trading aggro, it’s a valuable skill for raiding. The other way to deal with this is to use Temporus’ knockback to your advantage. Because the debuff has a short duration and must be renewed regularly, if you get knocked back while at 5-10 sec. on the debuff, you can kite Temporus just long enough for the debuff to reset. Once you have the mortal wound ability controlled, the rest of the encounter is a simple tank and spank. wow power leveling Because this fight can quickly get out of control without high DPS, make sure to use chronobeacon rotations to control the adds so every party member can focus on the boss. Mortal Wound – A stacking debuff that can only be dodged / parried / miss. Each application reduces healing by 10% and can stack up to (and beyond) 100% healing reduction. Increases in occurrence with the hasten buff. Hasten – Increases attack speed by 200%. This is signaled by a whirring jet engine sound and a charge graphic at Temporus’ base. Because this increases the speed of mortal wound debuff application, it is vital that this be dispelled / shield slamed / purged immediately. With this self-buff up, it’s nearly impossible to beat out the mortal wound debuffs. " .
