After just a few weeks of Firelands raiding, [hide]DREAM Paragon[/hide] has defeated Ragnaros on 25-man heroic mode, earning them the world first and the Firelord title. DREAM Paragon announced the news on their website, promising their kill shot and comments in the near future. Congratulations to Paragon for this world first.

The heroic version of the Ragnaros fight adds a whole new phase to the encounter in which Ragnaros regains his full Firelord strength, steps out of his swirling molten pool, and becomes mobile around the platform with his new firelegs. Cenarius, Hamuul Runetotem and Malfurion Stormrage assist the players in tackling Ragnaros’ many abilities in this new phase, finally putting out the Firelord’s lights for good.

Heroic modes for the Ragnaros fight and others in the Firelands were also not available on the public test realm, making it that much more difficult for these hardcore raiding guilds to get time in on these encounters.

I am excited to hear about Paragon’s time with these bosses in the Firelands. At only seven bosses, the Firelands is one of the more accessible raid zones, with a time commitment that feels far smaller than the monolithic endeavors of the past, like ICC or Ulduar. Has Firelands presented enough of a challenge to the top of the top guilds? Whatever the case, congratulations again! I hope that my guild will be at heroic Rag’s door in the near future.

Each week, WoW Insider and [hide]Mathew McCurley[/hide] bring you a fresh look at [hide]reader-submitted UIs[/hide] as well as [hide]Addon Spotlight[/hide], which spotlights the latest user interface addons. Have a screenshot of your own UI that you’d like to submit? Send your screenshots along with info on what mods you’re using to [hide]readerui@wowinsider.com[/hide], and [hide]follow Mathew[/hide] on Twitter.

One of the more difficult types of user interfaces to address is one in distress, not necessarily because of the lack of skill of the UI’s creator but mostly because he or she might not know what questions to ask. When someone asks a pointed question about an addon recommendation or UI fix, there’s usually a definitive answer. What can I do to fix my UI?, however, is a different beast of a question altogether. What needs fixing? What do you feel is broken? What if things just work, but you don’t know how it could work better because of the lack of knowledge?

Understud’s UI could use some work, which is why the short but hopeful email that was sent to me caught my eye. If this column is about anything, it is about helping people gain ideas and knowledge and what the WoW interface is capable of. Understud needs help learning and understanding, while at the same time, he seeks to benefit from the generals — UI-building tips that span all user interfaces. Let’s see if we can help him out, because if there is one thing we do here at Reader UI of the Week, it’s care.[hide]Continue reading Reader UI of the Week: A call for help from Understud[/hide]Filed under: [hide]Add-Ons[/hide], [hide]Reader UI of the Week[/hide][hide]Reader UI of the Week: A call for help from Understud[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Tue, 19 Jul 2011 21:00:00 EST.

Опубликован [hide]список срочных исправлений[/hide] патча 4.2 к MMORPG World of Warcraft: Cataclysm от 19 июля 2011 года, сообщает компания Blizzard Entertainment. Этот вид обновлений устанавливается на стороне разработчиков и не требует скачивания дополнительных даанных. Некоторые из исправлений появятся в игре сразу, другие – после перезагрузки игрового мира. Перевод будет опубликован позднее.

Читать полностью

General

The frequency at which players can use /yell, /say, and any emotes is now throttled to prevent excessive spamming of chat logs from occurring.

Classes

Death Knights

Improved Death Strike now provides 40/80/120% bonus damage, up from 30/60/90%, and a 10/20/30% critical strike bonus, up from 3/6/9%.
Druids

Flight Form now cancels the Leyara’s Locket buff.
Moonfire will now generate Lunar Energy when crossing from Solar to Lunar on the Eclipse bar.

Dungeons & Raids

All bosses in The Bastion of Twilight, Blackwing Descent, and Throne of the Four Winds once again award Valor Points in all raid sizes and difficulties. 10-player bosses award 35 Valor Points, while 25-player bosses award 45 Valor Points. This change does not apply to Argaloth in Baradin Hold. More information can be found here.

Firelands

Superheated cannot be cast on players, even if they attack the Flamewaker Animators as they are channeling energy towards the Unstable Magma.
Alysrazor

Collecting Blazing Power now refreshes Wings of Flame to its full duration each time.
Alysrazor will now always face the correct direction during Firestorm.
Imprinted should now be cleared from characters under all conditions when the encounter resets.
Interacting with a Molten Feather will now dismount characters, preventing the feather from being wasted.

Beth’tilac

Beth’tilac will now only eat spiderlings that move very close to her (the range on her ability to consume them has been reduced). In addition, eaten spiderlings will no longer sometimes remain on the ground or on players once she consumes them.
Drones should no longer evade or aggro characters on top of the web.
Fixate now truly fixates on random targets.

Ragnaros

On 25-player Heroic difficulty, Cloudbursts will now always properly apply Deluge to 3 players before fading away.
It should always be possible to interact with Cloudbursts, even if several players click on one at the same time.

Items

Heroic bind-on-equip items now sell to vendors for gold.
PvP

Arenas

A resolution has been put into place which should help alleviate Rated Battleground matchmaking delays. This fix corrects an issue that could occur if a team at the front of the queue was particularly difficult to match, resulting in a bottleneck which slowed matchmaking for all players in queue. More information can be found here.

Quests & Creatures

The melee evasion angle of several creatures has been adjusted. Most notably, melee classes should no longer be seeing abilities, such as Backstab or Shred, getting parried when standing well enough out of Ragnaros’s melee evasion angle, or other bosses/creatures with similar evasion angles.

We’ve got another round of hotfixes posted to the official Warcraft blog. Tonight’s list is a relatively short one. Included are ever-present tweaks and fixes to the Firelands raid, as well as a couple of class changes for death knights and druids.

For death knights, Improved Death Strike now provides 40/80/120% bonus damage and a 10/20/30% critical strike bonus, up from 30/60/90% and 3/6/9% respectively.

Hey, druids! Moonfire will now generate Lunar Energy when crossing Solar to Lunar on the Eclipse bar.

All bosses in The Bastion of Twilight, Blackwing Descent, and Throne of the Four Winds once again award valor points in all raid sizes and difficulties. 10-player bosses award 35 valor points, and 25-player bosses award 45. This change does not, however, apply to Argaloth over in Baradin Hold.

Финальный босс Огненных Просторов Рагнарос впервые в мире был побежден в героическом режиме рейда на 25 человек MMORPG World of Warcraft: Cataclysm гильдией Paragon. Впечатления участников знаменательного события изложены в заметке «[hide]Рагнарос: слишком быстро![/hide]»

«Или не быстро? Да нет, не очень, — говорится в сообщении. – Просто мы НИКОГДА не вкладывали в победу столько усилий, сколько вложили в схватку с Рагнаросом героического уровня сложности. У нас было несколько вайпов на низких процентах уровня его здоровья. Но в конце концов наши усилия, тренировки, изучение теории и планирование принесли свои плоды. У нас никогда не было идеальных попыток. Мы вайпнулись более 500 раз на этом боссе, а затем я сбился со счета. После такого эпического боя чувствуешь себя по-настоящему эпично!»

Очки доблести снова можно будет получать в Твердыне Крыла Тьмы, Сумеречном бастионе и Троне Четырех Ветров (за исключением Аргалота) в MMORPG World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, [hide]сообщает[/hide] компания Blizzard Entertainment. Решение было принято под воздействием «отзывов игроков».

«Мы согласились с тем, что у игроков должны быть дополнительные возможности по получению очков доблести не только в Огненных Просторах, подземельях Зандалари и рейдах героической сложности Т11, — говорится в сообщении. – Мы не хотим, чтобы рейдящие гильдии чувствовали, что они обязаны проходить Огненные Просторы и старые рейды каждую неделю. Нам хотелось бы, чтобы игроки ощущали, что у них есть возможность выбора, а не только бесконечный гринд ЗА и ЗГ».

В обычной версии вышеупомянутых рейдов на 10 человек каждый босс будет вознаграждать игроков 35 очками доблести, в версии на 25 человек – 45 очками, для соответствия наградам, предлагаемым героическими версиями этих схваток. Срочное исправление установят в течение нескольких часов.

Happy Tuesday morning, everyone! I recently unlocked the Druids of the Talon dailies on my main, and while doing the daily quests, I’ve been getting an extra dose every day of the saccharine sweet friendship of [hide]Tholo[/hide] and [hide]Anren[/hide]. They’re the Hyjal dream team, nearly always together, nearly always talking about each other. They’ve got a bromance going that’s so huge you sort of wonder if maybe you should just remove the «b» already.

I have to admit, it annoyed me at first. Night elves and tauren being all cuddly like that sort of bothered me. The Horde’s evil, man. Tauren will betray you, Anren. They’re attacking your home in Ashenvale even now! But you know, now that I’ve gotten to know them a little better, maybe it’s not so bad. They’re just keeping up a long tradition in the annals of WoW. There’s been [hide]Asric and Jaadar[/hide], [hide]Thassarian and Koltira[/hide], and now [hide]Anren and Tholo[/hide]. Maybe we could all learn to love each other a little more, just like them.

So go ahead. Bask in the warm fuzziness of the bromance. And once you’re done, keep reading for the latest WoW news from the past 7 days. [hide]Downtime this week[/hide] is from 3 a.m. to 11 a.m. PDT, so you’ll have plenty of time to get caught up.[hide]Continue reading Tuesday Morning Post: Guy Love edition[/hide]Filed under: [hide]Realm Status[/hide], [hide]News items[/hide][hide]Tuesday Morning Post: Guy Love edition[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Tue, 19 Jul 2011 04:00:00 EST.

This [hide]Breakfast Topic[/hide] has been brought to you by [hide]Seed[/hide], the AOL guest writer program that brings [hide]your words[/hide] to WoW Insider’s pages.

My husband is the king of addons. If someone, somewhere, devised a method of making his WoW experience just a smidge easier, he has probably downloaded it and tried it out. I, on the other hand, have this strange sense that addons are «cheating» in some way, and I don’t use them unless I can’t get through the game (or at least raid) without them! I’m not sure where I picked up that particular attitude, but one other significant difference between me and my husband is that he loves gadgets, and I’m not such a fan. Isn’t that kind of what an addon is? A gadget to make things in the game more convenient?

That being said, I can’t live without [hide]Deadly Boss Mods[/hide]. All the warning noises and flashing words and warnings to Run away! make me look like I know what I’m doing, even when I don’t. Of course, the raid leader requires us to have it, but I wouldn’t want to try raiding it without it. Otherwise, I’d probably just hang out standing in the fire. For the record, my husband’s favorite addon is [hide]Titan Panel[/hide]. He likes that pretty much every bit of information about his characters is one mouse click away, but I feel like it’s information overload.

What about you? What addon can you not live (or at least raid) without?

Hotfixes for [hide]patch 4.2[/hide] have been released at a steady pace ever since the patch’s release. Though patch 4.2’s launch was impressively smooth, it wasn’t without its hiccups. Luckily. Blizzard is pretty quick to get errors addressed and fixed as soon as possible, which is why these hotfixes keep coming out at a regular rate.

From tweaks to various class mechanics to the encounters in the Firelands raid, the amount of information regarding these hotfixes has been pretty substantial. Rather than leave you to sift through weeks worth of hotfix posts, we’ve collected all hotfix information for patch 4.2 in one handy spot. You want a recap of everything that’s been adjusted and changed in regards to the latest patch?
