Casual WoW Player or Hardcore |
14th March 2008, 09:23 |
|
|
 |
|
Yes, I know. We have all read tons and tons of blog posts that explores the casual vs hardcore player before. I’m going to look at it a bit differently for this post. The question that I have in my mind right now is when does a WoW player decide to go from casual to hardcore?
This has really hit home to me this past weekend as I feel I am to a point where I could cross the line (once again) to go from casual player to hardcore. I have been getting more and more raid time in my guild and I’m just starting to realize how much more time I will have to put in to be able to perform at 110% for raids. Not only that but I am also chasing after a 2000 rating in the arena on my 2v2 team.
Farming honor for more arena gear, doing arenas, farming gold to respec back and forth from PvE build to PvP, farming gold for item repairs, along with farming mats for buff food and flasks for raids, and then raiding are all of the tasks that I will have to chase after each and every week if I want to compete with the top raiders in my guild and the top arena teams on my battlegroup. It was up until today that I just kinda made the slide to hardcore player without even realizing what I was doing. I have since slid back to reality.
Do most hardcore players just slide into being hardcore and consider themselves to still be casual players?
Deep thoughts, I know. I think that is the way it really happens to most hardcore players is that they become hardcore “accidentally” while trying to keep up with the top players. You really have to if you want to really be competitive is this game.
If I still want to maintain being a casual player (around 20 hours a week) I am going to have to decide to drop my raiding to zero that way I can still be competitive in the arenas or I will have to plan out every hour I spend to complete certain tasks. Isn’t that the point where it becomes like a job?
Anyway, I would be glad to here what some of you have done in order to limit play time down but yet still find time to raid and do arenas. |

You down with PVP? You better be if you want the good gear |
13th March 2008, 03:34 |
|
|
|
|
There were many welcome changes to the "World of Warcraft" with last week's release of Patch 2.3,
but one of the more eagerly anticipated additions was delayed a week and was to have been
implemented last night -- the start of Season 3 of arena play.wow gold
The arenas are a good way for players to earn top-notch gear by fighting player-vs.-player,
or PVP, in 2-vs.-2, 3-vs.-3 or 5-vs.-5 arena teams. The fights are usually quick,
which means you don't have to spend a large part of your online playing time doing them,
as is required by a lot of quests, dungeons and raids. And the better you and your team do,
the faster you can earn armor, weapons and trinkets with insane stats and bonuses;
but even bad arena teams can eventually earn good gear.
The Season 3 gear offers a lot of upgrades from previous seasons and does so for all classes,
including the often-overlooked balance druid spec, or boomkin.
(Full disclosure: My main character is a boomkin).
To top it off, the very top teams at the end of a season get special
rewards -- like an epic netherdrake (dragon) flying mount that flies
even faster than the usual netherdrakes, which fly VERY fast.
Now I've never been much for PVP gaming, even when I was playing "Diablo II."
Despite the urging of friends and guildmates during my time in "World of Warcraft,"
I've done very little of it. I was too busy worrying about leveling, questing,
running dungeons for items, farming gold and getting my epic flying mount.
But now I've been level 70 for quite a while. I've run every dungeon at least once or twice,
including on heroic settings. I've been on raids and gotten relative game-rich
(I think I'm somewhere over 8,000 gold at the moment),
and I've grinded reputation to get an epic nether ray mount and epic netherwing mount,
not to mention my druid's epic flight form.
There are still a few instances and raid bosses that can drop items that are decent or even big upgrades to my current gear,
but the drop rate on them are low.
I've killed the last boss in heroic Sethekk Halls six or seven times now and never seen the staff I want drop;
same goes for Curator in Karazhan.
And even if those items drop, the odds are I will have to roll for them against other players,
significantly reducing my chances of getting it.
But the honor you earn is yours to spend, whether it's on arena gear or battleground gear,
which also requires special marks from various battlegrounds. So you can get the specific item you want;
you just have to put in some time to rack up the necessary honor and badges.
What I'm looking forward to is the ability to buy Season 1 gladiator gear with honor points,
which will happen with the updating of Season 3.
Even the older gladiator gear is better than a lot of the battleground gear,
as well as improvements over a lot of dungeon and raid drops.
So I will be spending a LOT more time in the coming weeks doing battlegrounds
and arena fights to rack up the honor ... and make my character even more elite.
Ultimately, that's a big aspect of "World of Warcraft" -- making the most powerful,
deadly, uber-geared character you can. |

How to make a WoW video |
12th March 2008, 03:48 |
|
|
|
|
This is a fairly simple guide and I didn't know if this would be counted as a WoW Guide or anything, but if it does.. Feel free to move.
Table of Contents
1. Accessing WMM (Windows Movie Maker)
2. Recording Raw Footage
3. Setting up your Fraps/GameCam
4. Adding Effects
5. Saving Your Video
6. Uploading
1: Accessing WMM
It is required to have a Windows OS computer to have Windows Movie Maker. Mac's may have another Movie feature and it's possible that they are similar, so try your best to follow through. To access WMM, simply press Start -- All Programs -- Accessories -- Entertainment -- Windows Movie Maker. I suggest pinning this to your start menu (Right Click -- Pin To Start Menu).
2: Recording Raw Footage
There are many recorders out there, including Fraps and GameCam. An Unregistered version of fraps only records for 30 seconds and adds a Watermark in the video. GameCam records for however long you want, but also adds a Watermark if Unregistered.
Unregistered Fraps - FRAPS show fps, record video game movies, screen capture software
Unregistered GameCam - Game Cam records video game movies while you play.
3: Setting up your Fraps/GameCam
Fraps* You can make the hotkey whatever you want. The rest of the settings should look like these if your computer lags with the default settings.
GameCam* You can make the hotkeys whatever you'd like, I suggest Home and End in the picture below.
4: Adding Effects
Now open up your Windows Movie Maker and we will begin to add effects. Follow step-by-step below.
- Add your Footage into WMM by pressing 'Import Video'. If you used fraps, the default destination should be C:/Fraps.
Using GameCam default, it should be in C:/GameCam/Media/Videos/WoW.
- Once you've added the video, you can add a title on the clip, before the clip, or after the clip. You can do this by pressing on 'Make title or credits'. A title at the beginning will add it before the video shows. A title on the selected clip will show it WHILE the video is showing. Select whichever you like and then add it by pressing 'Done, add title/credit to movie'.
- If you would like effects, press on 'View Video Effects'. A few effects include the Greyscale or Black and White, the Hue which is like a disco-ish theme, and Film Age Oldest which is Greyscale with a cool oldtime effect.
5: Saving Your Video
Simply press 'Save to my computer', name it whatever you'd like, and press next (Don't mess with the qualities unless you know what you're doing), and then once the video is saved, it should be in C:/My Documents/My Videos (Default).
6: Uploading
Go to either YouTube or GoogleVideo and press on 'My Account' -- 'Upload New Video'. Your video should be wherever you put WMM to save it, which is usually the My Videos folder in My Documents. I suggest YouTube because even though it slaughters your movies quality, you will get alot more views. Your video should work.

A Gamer's View on Nationalized Healthcare |
11th March 2008, 03:11 |
|
|
|
|
Gamers are well known for their ability to reason logically. Here are a few logical things that are, in my opinion, some of the most obvious reasons against nationalizing the health-care system in the United States.
◇More than one million Canadians cannot find a family doctor.
◇Only five percent of surgery patients in the United States must wait 4 months or more for their procedure, compared to 36 percent in Britain.
◇In an international comparison of mortality rates, the United States has the highest incidence of prostate cancer but it has the lowest incidence of realted deaths.
◇American consumers directly pay little for health-care -- about 14 cents for every dollar spent -- so key decisions are left up to third-party payers instead of patients.
A gaming analogy can be seen in the success of the Half-Life series, which opened its games up to be modded by super innovative third party developers everywhere. Nationalized health-care would limit consumers choices for health-care providers and thus destroy the market competitive forces which have driven American medicine to be the best in the world. In other words, nationalized health-care smells an awful lot like those closed-dev games that come out and soon fizzle because of the lack of long term reply value.
So my question is: Why are we being so swept up with the idea of free healthcare? Do we really want the same inefficient government that runs our public schools in charge of our health-care?
Personally, I want Half-Life quality health-care. Health-care that is continuously improving and always ready to serve. I'd rather not leave my health up to a system where the medical services almost immediately go out of date. (anyone still playing Extreme Paint Brawl?..probly not even though it came out the same year as Half-Life...)Sources: David Gratzer, "A Prescription for Health," National Review

Should we have persistant Evil characters |
6th March 2008, 15:30 |
|
|
|
|
This topic is a VERY hot topic at the moment, which has been slightly nullified because of the pre-order and release date information, but however, I will still be discussing this topic in this article.
In the red corner you have the Lore-Junkies and Anti-Pvp??ers/Carebears, which will stop at nothing to keep Turbine from making the big change (this is not limited to blackmail, torture etc)
In the Blue corner you have the WoW Kiddies and Hardcore PvP??ers, which will continue to execute hostages untill thier demands have been given to them.
But what of the debate? There have been many, and long thought out posts containing reasons for and against the FFA PvP and RvR. However, 85% of these people who want Evil races just want them for the thrill of being evil, I can say that myself have been lured into the temptation of evil. (If walking cows in WoW count, then yes, I??m evil)
Is that so much to ask? To be free from the troubles of ??good??? Havnt you ever looked at a huge battle in a game or movie and said to yourself: ??It would be have been easier to be evil??? And you cant say that Undead dont get all the chicks, I mean, who WOULDNT want a rotting corpse as a BF?
I can admit right now that I am a hardcore Tolkien fan, but I would have also fancied to have an Alt as an evil character, but I am confronted with the ??Lore?? and ??Fun?? issues which I shall explain.
On one hand, you have the ??Lore??, which is a huge part of the Tolkien universe, and Tolkien would be rolling in his grave if he knew that Turbine were going to implement free-willed evil races. On the other hand you have the aspect of ??fun??, which incorporates the large scale PvP battles that were depicted in the movies and books.
However Turbine decided to implement a PvP system called ??PvMP?? which is a definate answer to to the FFA PvP??ers and the Lore purists.
What does PvMP have?
Good PC??s Vs Evil PC??s? - Check.
Persistant Evil characters? - Well, in one sense yes, so check.
Battle for areas of land within the PvMP zones? - From what I know of from Devs, check.
Variety of Evil PC??s to be? - Check.
Gankable Hobbits? - Within this zone, yes, so Check.
As you cans see, PvMP is the obvious answer to both sides of the great Evil/Good argument, without losing too much customers on either side, but does this fully satisfy either side? No, so this debate will probably never ever end.

World of warcraft Aizelashi mainland News June 8 (jokebook) |
3rd March 2008, 03:54 |
|
|
|
|
“Union Daily” full-page report
“Yilidan come forward dismissed: I did not imagine you as weak,”
Interviews: Royal press corps Aizelashi
Two days ago, we also speculate Yilidan the duration of the war, unfortunately Yilidan not as we would like to become a
dark pantheon Terminator. Well Yilidan comment on that? Aizelashi Royal press corps to connect from just climb up Yilidan,
let him give us the inside story on the matter in detail.
Q: - What is the mortal Headlines feelings? To describe the situation?
Yilidan: - It was a dramatic battle, although there have been some conditions. I even just “is actually the devil”, that
the magic is insufficient. But overall, this is the worst of my life in a play. I read these mortals before Parliament on
Yilidan the battle, they feel 60 on the gift has not familiar with. After combat and now they are not really feeling. This
war requires very close teamwork between those challenger is the most powerful mortal mix. I think I was the Blizzard pit.
Q: - where people will be within one week from beginning to end, partially penetrated the dark Shrine, what ideas? Are you
really so as illusory BOSS?
Yilidan: - because of the domain Raid is 25, where people can more easily assembled elite players. We are now the BOSS
treatment also fell, to accompany the slaves on the area in accordance with the medium-sized copy of the configuration, I
bear the responsibility of a person to the many and difficult.
Where people in the week to complete the dark Shrine, I believe we Blizzard so weakened to allow more outside the domain
challenger can experience the content.
Q: - do you think the European Society of progress in Raid on the defeat of the Americans?
Yilidan: - Forum on the controversial I do not have a clear, I rarely look at a number of forums. However Curse Association -
another closely follow Nihilum Association, but also in Europe. I think at this point, in Europe fill the hold of the day I
want to beat people, indeed more than the United States.
Q: - you were so quick to get everyone, not feel aggrieved?
Yilidan: - Yes, I am very frustrated. Some things you should remember that, if you wish to do so you can pull in the pantheon
of its exploration process in the Skip some leaders. In fact, I challenge the process is very simple. This simplified the
process used to be an interesting debate (with different ideas is a good thing, is not it?). This is not a design flaw, we
have been discussing Boss to show the face of the Challenger more - from the complex of small copy of this to my simple
process large copy. 10 team is now part of the game of the greatest criticism, praise in the karaoke after there are no more
options. But you get my point of view, we do not want to Boss identical Shengui way out.
Q: - do you think your way out of this current success?
Yilidan: - I will continue to illustrate. Let us assume that the domain has never been out and we are still in the original
wow world. Overall, the footman is full of all four complained of difficulty in Cleveland, the Cavaliers had four Boss is the
most comprehensive adjustments in the fighting. I say this because there are only a few challengers in the time they need to
defeat to defeat them. Those who defeated the Cleveland Society of four, to defeat them and made great efforts (syrup, the
world buff, 4T3 soldiers to serve). Overall, one must eight tank battle is not an acceptable request. 8 must be a battle
tanks can be accepted by many people, but because they want to show off themselves - not because the copy of a very
interesting team. For a hunter to give up the position on the 8th Association of tanks more interesting? In any case, the
four Cleveland is the great battle. They can be defeated and almost no bug.
Nakesamashi footman discussed in the topic, I would like to remind everyone, in Nakesamashi, almost all the boss was
placed in the speed, and I was placed in almost the speed. Where people forget all this, because it had only four Cavaliers
this threshold only 8 tanks. If the challenge of the content is adjusted so that all will soon be defeated (unless it needs
some copies of the cumulative - similar Aonikexie the ponchos, resistance requirements, etc.). Even the equipment
requirements are not any difficulties. Only lead to more accumulation of a team, rather than a team overall equipment
upgrade.
I also storms and waves in the back, win or lose, I have seen very open. I also hope that I can more, not to kill
everyone. However, the challenger can be defeated, and this is something that all of the world’s biological Bugedigang
destiny Boss is no exception.
Q: - do you think that so soon is defeated, and the bug is the fate of arrangements?
Yilidan: - On the contrary, I am of the view that the dark pantheon Tucci has been satisfied because the adjustment was
perfect. I hope that allows greater access to the dark pantheon challenger to see me, I feel the experience.
I think that the fighting is now part of the team is now in a very good position. The challengers technology and time
consumption has brought different options, some combatants extremely challenging and interesting.
Copies of the adjustment very dangerous to copy looks more challenging team (Xiaoguai, syrup, resistance testing, the
entry of any, restrictions, limitations try) have been subjected to endless complained that the Challenger is “a process to
prevent . ” However, I must reiterate that the boss is very difficult to adjust and improve the complex and adjusting the
sound and not bug the Boss will be defeated soon.
Q: - you will be after shouting “Are you prepared?”
Yilidan: - I did not imagine you as weak. In the millions of Challenger prepared in the dozens of individuals only then. I
just want to ask so many talking about the “Yilidan is too simple,” and footman, in the end there are few really more than
I had overthrown the weak Nefazodone Lee, and Keersu Kesuen Andrew Card?

Lotro:Book 11: Month of the Minstrel |
28th February 2008, 05:34 |
|
|
|
|
Overview:
Welcome to the Month of the Minstrel! It''s the Minstrel''s turn in the spotlight, as we reach the latest part of our continued updates and additions to all of the classes in lotro. To identRF Online gold ify the aspects of the Minstrel class we should focus on, we referenced player feedback, data collection, and our own experiences, and decided on the high-level goals of increasing a Minstrel''s ability to play solo, diversRF Online gold ifying a Minstrel''s buffing/support role, examining and improving healing, and adding some fun treats for our players. These goals were addressed by adding new skills, modRF Online gold ifying existing skills and traits, and by adding new items to the game.
Solo Play:
Minstrels have always been most effective while supporting other players, but haven''t been at the top of their game when playing alone. We gave them some abilities that will let them solo better.
New Skill: War-Speech - This skill is the first in the new "Words of War" skill category. It is a toggled stance that powers up both "Piercing Cry" and "Chant of the Oathbreaker" (read on), but decreases a Minstrel''s ability to heal. In addition, it limits usage of two other powerful skills. The overall intention of this skill is to give the ability to defeat monsters faster to those players who are comfortable with the amount of damage they are taking. While in Fellowships, most Minstrels will want to keep this power toggled off, but RF Online gold if there are multiple healers available, the Minstrel may wish to begin chanting words of war!
New Skill: Call to the Elder King - Gated behind War-Speech, this call to the chief of the Valar will damage your foes and make them more susceptible to further attacks.
New Skill: Call to the Second Age - Gated behind War-Speech, this call to ages past will greatly damage your foes and increase the movement rate of your Fellowship.
New Skill: Chant of the Oathbreaker - This skill calls upon the spectral weapon of an Oathbreaker to harry a foe. It will deal damage and decrease the foe''s resistance to Songs and Cries. While in War-Speech, the damage and resistance debuff will increase. This skill is intended to be a new hallmark of a Minstrel. Using it in solo play will increase the speed at which you can defeat foes and make more of your Ballads connect. In group play, your tanking allies will appreciate the resistance debuff, which will make their taunts fail less frequently.
New items: Damage-type Instruments - New instruments have been added to crafting and reputation which will change Chant of the Oathbreaker''s damage type.
Buffing/Support:
The buffs of a Minstrel are strong and varied already. We wanted to provide more options without turning the Minstrel into a primary buffer, so the new skills added tend to have longer cooldowns and very potent effects. This way, while the skills are strong, they cannot be used often.
Trait: Strength of Voice - This trait now increases the duration of all ballad buffs.
Skill Revamp: Song of Aid - The combat events that this skill triggers now only show up on a class RF Online gold if it benefits that class. No longer will Guardians gain critical events, nor will Burglars gain block events.
Skill Revamp: Tale of Heroism - This skill was made into a proper aura toggle skill, and is joined by two new aura skills, only one of which may be used at a time. A power upkeep cost was added to the Tales to emphasize that the Minstrel, while a strong buffer, must work more than other classes to maintain such effects.
New Skill: Tale of Battle - A new aura in the Tale family, this increases Vitality and Wound Resistance.
New Skill: Tale of Warding - A new addition to the Tale family, this aura increases Armour and Hope.
New Skill: Call to the Fellowship - A shout to your whole Fellowship that increases the effectiveness of your next Fellowship Manoeuvre.
New Skill: Call to Greatness - A word of power that bestows a class-specRF Online gold ific buff on a target. Each class gains 15 seconds of benefit in a way that helps them. For example, a Call to Champions gives an immediate defeat event (to activate skills like Red Haze) and two Fervor pips. For the next 15 seconds, a point of Fervor will be granted every 5 seconds.
Healing:
Minstrels are, without a doubt, the kings of healing in lotro. We''re very happy with the amount of morale a Minstrel can restore and the amount of time it takes them to restore it. No new heal-over-time skills will be added, since the Captain is more focused on morale-over-time, and the Minstrel up-front heals. We also feel that the power cost of that restoration is too low at higher levels.
Skill Revamp: Healing skills - We''ve increased the cost of healing skills at higher levels. No change has been made to lower-level players, but at a high level, the costs increase.
New Skill: Chord of Salvation - The Minstrel now has an instant cast heal! Chord of Salvation heals more than Raise the Spirit but less than Bolster Courage. However, the price for being an instant cast skill is higher power usage, and a 30-second cooldown.
New Skill: GRF Online gold ift of the Hammerhand - Minstrels can now put a shield on an ally, similar to their own Lay of the Hammerhand. This skill makes incoming damage reduce Power instead of Morale. The shield is instant cast, so combined with Chord of Salvation, a Minstrel can very quickly save a fellow who is about to fall.
Fun stuff!
It''s fun stuff, and it''s full of surprises! We''ve also made the following non-combat additions:
New Skill: Irresistible Melody - Playing a melody of such beauty, a Minstrel can now inspire those nearby to break into dancing.
New Instruments: Bagpipe, Cowbell and Moor Cowbell - Minstrels can now play the bagpipe, cowbell (because too much cowbell is never enough) and the Moor Cowbell. All players will be able to learn the Cowbell, but the Bagpipe and the Moor variety of Cowbell will be Minstrel exclusives. Until they use the next skill, that is...
New Skill System: Mentor system - A Minstrel will now be able to teach other players how to play any of the Minstrel-specRF Online gold ific instruments. Yes, you read that right: now anyone can be taught how to play any instrument in the game! Once a Minstrel has acquired the ability to teach an instrument (keep in mind, this will require more work then just going to a trainer), they''ll be able to teach it to any other player, but with a very long cooldown. All Mentor skills share the same cooldown, so once you''ve taught someone an instrument, you won''t be able to do so again for five days.
Conclusion:
Well, these are the big things you will likely notice in Month of the Minstrel. There are more changes, but none as big as those described above. We think this will make an already fun and functional class even more interesting!
