В конкурсе «Хранитель учетных записей» в 4-й раз победил игрок из Германии – некто «Макс из Штутгарта» (до этого были «Александр из Штутгарта», «Гилг из Гамбурга» и «Маркус из Германии»), сообщает официальный сайт MMORPG World of Warcraft от компании Blizzard Entertainment. По словам разработчиков, он прислал «потрясающее изображение Бессмертного в полной боевой готовности», который «уж точно защитит учетную запись хозяина от любых посягательств».

Напомним, что турнир будет идти до января 2012 года, при этом каждый месяц Blizzard будет выбирать одного победителя, которому в награду достанется iPad 2, а также «слава, известность и все остальное».

Every week, WoW Insider brings you [hide]Spiritual Guidance[/hide] for [hide]discipline[/hide], [hide]holy[/hide] and [hide]shadow[/hide] priests. On Wednesdays, shadow priesting expert [hide]Fox Van Allen[/hide] rains down sheer purple destruction on all who oppose him (but he does so with love!). Fox encourages you to [hide]follow him on Twitter[/hide].

A few weeks ago, I ran an article called «[hide]What Alliance race is best for shadow priests[/hide]?» And man, did I get my ass flamed for doing it. A whole bunch of you complained that I was too hard on Team Blue, that a Horde sympathizer such as myself had no business writing such a thing. Just a small sampling of the fun comments:

Wow arent you a tool. Why not throw in some Justine Bieber, George Bush, McDonalds, and whatever else is popular to hate bashing in there to get the fanboy juices really flowing?

To answer the question, yes, I am a tool. That still doesn’t change the fact that gnomes are the worst thing to happen since that time I saw Justine (sic) Bieber and George Bush eating at a McDonald’s. With Gary Coleman? In a Suburu? Remember that, Lois?

Anyway, follow me after the break. There aren’t any Family Guy cutaways, I promise. We do kill off and eat a weatherman, though. So there’s that.[hide]Continue reading Spiritual Guidance: What’s the best race for a Horde shadow priest[/hide]?Filed under: [hide]Priest[/hide], [hide](Priest) Spiritual Guidance[/hide][hide]Spiritual Guidance: What’s the best race for a Horde shadow priest[/hide]? originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Wed, 13 Jul 2011 20:00:00 EST.

WoW Insider’s on a [hide]Daily Quest[/hide] to bring you interesting, informative, and entertaining WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.

Hands up if this clip brought about a wash of nostalgia. The Point was a movie I saw multiple times when I was a kid — and each time, it had a different narrator, oddly enough. Looking back on the film’s history, it seems that the first narrator was actually Dustin Hoffman, of all people. Regardless, the weird little movie had a point about points and pointedly made them, even if it was in a roundabout sort of way.

Speaking of points, today we’ve got some good points made around the blogosphere about … well, points.

[hide]Kurn’s Corner[/hide] makes a few points about the valor point cap and the [hide]Zandalar heroics[/hide].

[hide]Jaded Alt[/hide] follows up by pointedly questioning how important it is to hit that [hide]valor point cap[/hide].

[hide]The Stories of O[/hide] points out that it isn’t exactly that hard to make that [hide]point cap every week[/hide].

Is there a story out there we ought to link or a blog we should be following? Just leave us a comment, and you may see it here tomorrow! Be sure to check out our [hide]WoW Resources Guide[/hide] for more WoW-related sites.

About the Bloggers introduces you to the people behind WoW Insider. Meet other staffers, both past-day and present, in [hide]earlier About the Bloggers entries[/hide].

What do you do for WoW Insider?

Oh, dear. As far as writing goes, I currently write [hide]WoW Archivist[/hide], [hide]Two Bosses Enter[/hide], and [hide]The Queue[/hide] (Mondays and Wednesdays), and I handle [hide]MMO Roundup[/hide] to bring you stories from the larger MMO universe that you may be interested in from our sister site [hide]Massively[/hide]. In the past, I’ve contributed to Hybrid Theory (long deceased, good riddance), [hide]Know Your Lore[/hide], [hide]Ask a Lore Nerd[/hide] (since folded back into Know Your Lore and The Queue), and [hide]Spiritual Guidance[/hide]. I’ve also played temporary fill-in for [hide]The Light and How to Swing It[/hide] (retribution), [hide]Lichborne[/hide], and … you know what, I’ll stop now, because that list is way too long.

Behind the scenes, my role is largely the same as the other senior editors — we make sure WoW Insider keeps chugging on as it should. We make sure assignments are being turned in, we make sure stories are being written up and posted in a timely fashion, we handle our social media outlets, and a whole load of other backend administrative stuff that, if we’re doing our jobs well, you guys will never even need to think about. I like to think that one of my best talents is my ability to find the talent in other people and pull it to the surface, by force if necessary. Being a senior editor, I get to utilize that every day.

Essentially, we’re the guys who let [hide]Fox Van Allen[/hide] be the beautiful shining star that he is. You really don’t want the fine details on all of that.[hide]Continue reading About the Bloggers: Alex Ziebart[/hide]Filed under: [hide]About the Bloggers[/hide][hide]About the Bloggers: Alex Ziebart[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Wed, 13 Jul 2011 09:00:00 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.

[hide]That’s a Lot of Bait[/hide]. It had been teasing us for weeks. I had the achievement tracker enabled for it, slowly watching the number creep upwards. The guild had spent one memorable evening (about three hours!) in Borean Tundra, half the group assigned to kill creatures and drop into the lake, thus creating blood pools, and the other half fishing out of them, racking up the numbers. We joked and chatted on Vent and in general had a wonderful time working together.

After that, people worked on their own to raise the numbers. Finally, sitting at about 9,500, the guild leader called together another raid group to get our butts back out to Borean and get the rest of the fish. With about 15 of us working together, we blasted out the remaining 500 fish in about 20 minutes.

We all know that fishing is notorious for being a mindnumbing profession (although archaeology may have knocked it into second place), but I loved the nights spent fishing with my guild — great people who are funny and kind, working together to knock out that achievement and earn the recipe. It really felt like a team effort, and I was proud to have been a part of it.

Is there an achievement that really brought your guild together as a team?

Опубликован [hide]список срочных исправлений[/hide] патча 4.2 к MMORPG World of Warcraft: Cataclysm от 12 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

Classes

Pet Defensive stance will no longer cause the pet to assist the player while a vanity pet is active.
Druids

Rake should again be able to trigger Primal Fury.

Dungeons & Raids

Firelands

Characters who make for a good Dinner Time should no longer be ported to Ancient Core Hounds they are not in combat with when the ability’s effects end.
Fire Scorpion and Flamewaker corpses no longer provide loot or reputation when they’re eaten by Hell Hounds and Fire Turtles.
Unstable Magmas are now gaining energy properly from the Flamewaker Animators.

Alysrazor

Voracious Hatchlings will now Imprint on a new target if their current target dies.

Majordomo Fandral Staghelm

Flame Scythe now properly hits pets.
Fandral can now cast Searing Seeds and Burning Orbs while moving.

Ragnaros

Several locations which could be used to avoid damage from Engulfing Flames have been adjusted so they’re no longer safe spots.
Combustible will always be reapplied to Living Meteors, even if the attacking character dies as a Meteor Impact occurs.
Living Meteors will now become frozen by Cenarius under all conditions when transitioning into phase 4 on Heroic difficulty.
If a Living Meteor is frozen in the lava pool during the transition into phase 4 on Heroic difficulty, it will teleport on a player after the stun ends, but will no longer explode immediately. Players now have a 2-second window to escape the meteor’s melee range.
Living Meteors will gain the Living Meteor Transform buff once frozen in the Breadth of Frost trap, even if a meteor is knocked into it.
If a Living Meteor’s fixated target drops aggro via Feign Death, the meteor will target the pet, and then select a new non-pet target upon which to fixate.
Ragnaros now enrages after 18 minutes in all raid difficulties and sizes, up from 15 minutes.

Quests & Creatures

Hyjal Regrowth & Molten Front

Wounded Hyjal Defenders should no longer sometimes spawn in with full health and in a standing position when players are on the quest Burn Victims.
Molten Lords no longer become tapped by the first player who attacks them with any of the Trained Fire Hawk’s abilities while on the quest Fire in the Skies, allowing for any player who dealt damage to the Molten Lord to gain quest credit upon its death.
Windcallers now respawn within 1 minute on average for the quest Into the Fire when both are rendered inactive. Additionally, players will only experience a maximum of approximately 75 seconds of a delay before they are able to initiate the escort event.

Every week, WoW Insider brings you [hide]The Light and How to Swing It[/hide] for [hide]holy[/hide], [hide]protection[/hide] and [hide]retribution[/hide] paladins. With the Light as his strength, Durin Mundahl takes on the foes of Azeroth with all the wrath of a retribution paladin. Feel free to send your retribution questions or comments to [hide]durin@wowinsider.com[/hide].

Hello, my Light-wielding brethren. Let me start off by saying that all of this information applies to patch 4.2 and the current state of retribution paladins. In future patches, this information may become outdated. Use your own Judgement when reading. Some side effects may include increases of a few thousand DPS on target dummies and an overall feeling of ecstasy. Working as intended.

After my last article, I got a few emails asking basic questions about retribution paladins and how to play them. I get questions like What’s my rotation?, How is your damage so high?, and Why do you keep pulling aggro? pretty frequently. When I’m not trying to convince my guild it’s the tank’s fault I’m pulling aggro (even though it isn’t), I try to explain to people that the key to doing good damage nowadays comes mainly from cooldown management, much like a lot of other classes — but I’m not writing about mages or warriors here.[hide]Continue reading The Light and How to Swing It: Basic retribution cooldowns — when to pop your wings[/hide]Filed under: [hide]Paladin[/hide], [hide](Paladin) The Light and How to Swing It[/hide][hide]The Light and How to Swing It: Basic retribution cooldowns — when to pop your wings[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Wed, 13 Jul 2011 15:00:00 EST.

The World of Warcraft is an expansive universe. You’re playing the game, you’re fighting the bosses, you know the how — but do you know the why? Each week, [hide]Matthew Rossi [/hide]and [hide]Anne Stickney[/hide] make sure you [hide]Know Your Lore[/hide] by covering the history of the story behind World of Warcraft.

He befriends those who might be his enemies, yet he is unafraid to strike down those who harm his people, his students, even his allies. Elderly, he has but recently become a druid; his meteoric rise to the rank of Archdruid is a testament to his strength of character and his sincere desire to achieve balance in all things. A childhood friend of Cairne Bloodhoof, in that worthy’s death, he has become the Old Bull of his people, even as Cairne’s son Baine has taken the role of leader.

Today, while Baine rules, it is Hamuul Runetotem who is the heart of the shu’halo, the tauren people. And he does not like what he is seeing.

Hammul does not pretend to perfection, and while he is wise, he admits to all the shocks that flesh is heir to and all the emotion a [hide]shu’halo[/hide] can face dealing with the chaos of the world while attempting to honor the Earthmother.[hide]Continue reading Know Your Lore: Arch Druid Hamuul Runetotem[/hide]Filed under: [hide]Analysis / Opinion[/hide], [hide]Lore[/hide], [hide]Know your Lore[/hide], [hide]Cataclysm[/hide][hide]Know Your Lore: Arch Druid Hamuul Runetotem[/hide] originally appeared on [hide]WoW Insider[/hide] on Wed, 13 Jul 2011 14:00:00 EST.
