WoW Moviewatch: Moves

bloksaggfdflajn — Mon, 20 May 2013 04:00:00 +0000

It's not the Dance Studio but Moves by Oveoflod serves up the kinds of dance we've always wanted to see. When you start the video, make sure you give it a few second to get into the groove. This absolutely fantastic dance video serves up the rhythm, rattle, and ... well, just watch it. Moves will be the Dance Studio of your imagination. Interested in the wide world of machinima ?

Patch 5.3 PTR: Battle on the High Seas overview

bloksaggfdflajn — Mon, 20 May 2013 02:00:00 +0000

One of my favorite scenarios to this day is Unga Ingoo. It's not because it has any major lore significance, some major story reveal that was shocking or inspired. It's not because it had any kind of meaningful impact on what we're doing right now, or on the leveling experience itself. No, the reason I love Unga Ingoo is because ships, ropes, and beating up pirates are all ridiculously fun things. Even more so when the pirates are monkey pirates. In patch 5.3, we're getting four new scenarios -- three of which are interesting from a lore perspective, and one of which, Battle on the High Seas, is just a rollicking good time. There aren't any lore reveals. There's nothing in the scenario to further the story of patch 5.3, or lead into patch 5.4. The only thing Battle on the High Seas offers is the opportunity to smack the heck out of the opposite fashion in true swashbuckling style ... and honestly, that's more than enough reason to do it as far as I'm concerned! Please note that this is being written from the Horde perspective of the scenario. I'm assuming that the Alliance side is much the same, just with a role-reversal involved. Please note: This post contains spoilers for patch 5.3 content.

The Queue: Yeah

bloksaggfdflajn — Mon, 20 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Welcome back to The Queue , the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft . Anne Stickney ( @Shadesogrey ) is actually feeling not quite so death-warmed-over today. If there is ever a day where the last second of the above video is no longer funny to me, I don't think I want to live to see that day. Yeah. @thingwhatwows asked via Twitter: how close to 90 is close enough for my alt(s) to ding when 5.3 hits? It's being reduced by 33%. So ... 33% from level 90? I'm not sure. Look, math is not my strong suit and I've been under the weather all week, here... Dobablo asked: Do the the High Elves have any sort of rep at Alliance meetings? Alleria is missing. Veressa acts mostly as Jaina's majordomo, I thought maybe Archmage Evenshade but he is a Highborne not a High Elf. I guess that leaves either Talthressar or Cpt Auric Sunchaser although the former is likely to be busy looking for his parents while the later has left Outlands and was involved with the Quel'Delar chain at the Sunwell.

Sunday Morning Funnies: Gratz

bloksaggfdflajn — Sun, 19 May 2013 22:00:00 +0000

Sunday Morning Funnies is your weekly list of WoW -related web comics. Each week, SMF is placing a regularly updating WoW -related web comic under a spotlight. This week's feature is Gratz : Gratz is a humorous comic by Lackinganame (Jason Nebeker). It is a relatively new comic, and family-friendly. It's fun and a great one to check out each week if you enjoy watching an artist evolve. It began as a few character sketches and evolved into a full story-based comic. It features five main characters: Vancore (a leader, hero), Starfire (gifted, insightful druid), Red and Green (brothers; jokers, trouble-makers), and Gorak (wise, grandfather-figure, trainer, aging leader). Gratz Genesis was written from 2009-2011 but not published until 2012, when the artist was able to devote more time to the comic. This is also when Gratz Transition was born, which not only features the characters as older, but also an updated art style. Gratz updates Mondays, usually with 3-4 pages (and sometimes more!).

Around Azeroth: The feline reaction to Patch 5.3

bloksaggfdflajn — Sun, 19 May 2013 20:00:00 +0000

As long-time readers may remember, sometimes on Sundays we like to run pictures from that strange, high-definition world outside Azeroth. This photograph was taken by Ginei of Desert Rats on Blackhand (US-A) and it captures her cat Zoe attempting to drown herself in a World of Warcraft beer glass. Presumably she just heard the news that Patch 5.3 will be released on Tuesday, and thus she will not be receiving any petting for the next month since her owner will be too absorbed in the game. Or maybe there's Bailey's Irish Cream in the glass. Cats go crazy for that stuff. Gallery: Around Azeroth 3 Want to see your own screenshot here? Send it to aroundazeroth@wowinsider.com . We strongly prefer full-sized pictures with no UI or names showing. Include "Azeroth" in the subject line to ensure your submission dodges email spam filters; if you'd like to be credited, also include your name, guild and realm.

Breakfast Topic: Do you WoW-craft?

bloksaggfdflajn — Sun, 19 May 2013 18:00:00 +0000

Some people are just driven by the need to make things, whether it's art , writing, or any other kind of craft. World of Warcraft certainly seems to have a wealth of crafty types, who use their skills and expertise to do everything from making shoes to sewing adorable plushies to truly amazing cosplay . But while there are plenty of crafty players, not everyone has the talent or inclination. So tell us, do you World of Warcraft craft? If so, what's your craft of choice and why? And, for those of us with neither crafting inclination or talent, well, we can always enjoy the work of others -- or just enjoy playing the game!

WoW Moviewatch: Arm of Hades: Thundercats

bloksaggfdflajn — Sun, 19 May 2013 06:00:00 +0000

This is a shot-for-shot recreation of the opening to Thundercats . David Nguyen did an astounding job of the video. It makes me both want to play WoW and watch the cartoon. It's just awesome. But there's more. This is the kind of machinima and community involvement you hope to see. David directly credited Fifth Element for inspiring the video. It's always incredibly astounding to see machinima creators respond to one another this way. Congratulations to both David and Fifth Element on creating a cartoon machinima legacy.

WRUP: Anticipating patch 5.3

bloksaggfdflajn — Sun, 19 May 2013 04:00:00 +0000

We finally know that patch 5.3 is right around the corner. Biting our fingernails and virtually panting with excitement, everyone at WoW Insider headquarters looks forward to the release with summery exultation. So obviously, we asked our staff about more than just their weekend plans. We asked what each member is excited about in the new patch. The good, the bad, and the ugly; we wanted to know it all.

The Queue: This is Bashiok’s fault

bloksaggfdflajn — Sun, 19 May 2013 02:00:00 +0000

Welcome back to The Queue , the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft . Anne Stickney ( @Shadesogrey ) is recovering from the plague. No, not the Plague of Undeath, although that might be kind of cool in retrospect. The above video is what I get when I ask CM's for video suggestions on Twitter. Thank you Bashiok. I ... think. yoojine asked: I hate, hate, hate leveling and questing. As a result, I've got a bunch of alts sitting at 85 and only my main at 90. What is the absolute fastest way to level my poor, neglected alts in Pandaland? Are there any xp buffs I should be aware of? Do heirlooms work at this level? Well the XP required to level from 85-90 will be dropped a bit on Tuesday, so there's that to look forward to. Heirlooms, unfortunately, don't work. The Darkmoon Faire offers an XP buff if you go ride the carousel, but that's once a month. I'd suggest just taking your time, making sure you've got rested XP when you're leveling, and when you run out of rested, park that alt in an inn for a bit, and switch to another. Questing is one of the easiest ways to level, but if that's not your thing, you can always just queue up for mass dungeon runs, or even do some pet battling, if that sounds like fun. Good luck! drorraz asked: Q4tQ: What happens to Sahn Tidehunter in 5.3? (his lake is gone because of the horde digging) Continue reading The Queue: This is Bashiok's fault Filed under: The Queue The Queue: This is Bashiok's fault originally appeared on WoW Insider on Sat, 18 May 2013 16:00:00 EST.

The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Warrior representation

bloksaggfdflajn — Sun, 19 May 2013 00:00:00 +0000

Every week, WoW Insider brings you The Care and Feeding of Warriors , the column dedicated to arms , fury and protection warriors . Despite repeated blows to the head from dragons, demons, Old Gods and whatever that thing over there was, Matthew Rossi will be your host. I find myself wondering about protection warriors as tanks. Clearly, we're neither the most nor least popular tanks, holding steady in the middle of the pack - both blood DK's and protection paladins absolutely own tank representation. Blood is at 4.2% and prot pallies at 4.1% of total class/spec representation in Throne of Thunder, with prot warriors at 2.7% and guardian druids in about the same spot as brewmaster monks, 2% for guardians and 1.8% for brewmasters. It's fairly clear that fury warriors, despite being a relatively smaller fraction of total class representation, are by far the most popular warriors in current raiding. Protection is not only second, but a distant second, and arms (despite being a solid 3% of the total player base overall) is vanishingly under-represented in raiding. We'll worry about arms in raids later. For now let's ask why protection warriors aren't being seen in raids. It's not based on class popularity by itself - based on looking over Realmpop for a couple of hours I'd argue that warriors are holding pretty steady at about 9.6% of the total population. (It's a slight drop from the 10.14% we saw last December) World of Wargraphs puts the number at about 9.5%, so either way, there are a lot of warriors. But looking at the Wargraphs data, two things come to mind.
