This Week in WoW History We're taking a look back at old MMO-Champion posts and World of Warcraft news that occurred during this time in previous years. Arena Season 9 - Cataclysm PvP Season 9 was the first Cataclysm arena season, during which the Rated Battleground system was also introduced. In the MMO-Champion tradition, the armor sets for each classes were shown off prior to release. Same as previous expansions, the first season featured pretty boring sets, but setting the theme for future armor sets. New Map and Minimap Features Patch 4.3 introduced a few map and minimap updates, such as showing the level range of zones when hovering over them on the main map. Archeology zones, and quest objectives were added to the minimap, indicating the objective zone. Guardian Cub The first tradable Store Pet was added to the game in 2011. Unlike other pets, the Guardian Cub could be bought through the Blizzard Store, then traded or sold within the game for gold. This pet is the tiny counterpart of the Winged Guardian, which can still be purchased in the store. Upgrade Your Gear! Valor Points, or other similar currency was used to purchase introductory gear in previous expansions. Patch 5.1 introduced a new system, which allowed items to be upgraded by 8 item levels. This system was later used in other raids as well, and re-introduced during Hellfire Citadel in Warlords of Draenor. New Expansion Name Prior to the announcement of the fifth expansion of World of Warcraft, it was found that Blizzard applied to trademark “Warlords of Draenor” in multiple countries. Trademarks in the past didn’t necessarily indicate the name of new expansions, such as the previously trademarked “The Dark Below” title. However, in this case the trademark proved to be the name of the next expansion, which was later announced at BlizzCon. The Garrison During a series of posts in 2014, the full Garrison was introduced to the players. Everything from the art of the buildings, to specific followers, levels, and achievements were showcased. The Garrison was meant to be players personal bases in Draenor. This new feature came with a variety of building choices, as well as a few standard gathering buildings. Parts of this feature was later changed and improved to be introduced in Legion as the Class Order Hall. Warcraft: The Beginning The long anticipated Warcraft movie teaser was released featuring some of our favorite characters and places. This movie was directed by Duncan Jones, making it enjoyable for the general audience, while sprinkling some in-game references for the players. The cast included many well known actors such as Travis Fimmel, and Paula Patton. Class Mounts Announced BlizzCon 2016 announced many new features to be introduced in Patch 7.2, including new Artifact appearances, Tomb of Sargeras, and the Broken Isles. The unexpected announcement was the new Class Mounts, a few of which were revealed in the presentation. These new mounts changed color schemes based on the Specialization of the player, and were only usable by their corresponding class. View the full article

Virtual Ticket Giveaway & New Diablo Fans Community Manager Hallow's End Hearthstone Pumpkins World of Warcraft Arena World Championship: Day 1 Recap Yesterday we saw the first day of the Arena World Championship in which the regional finalists competed to move on to day two and three at Blizzcon this weekend. Here is a quick recap of the matches and winning teams. You can see the entire day one event here! Splyce Vs Pen & Paper - Winner: Splyce (3 to 2) Panda Global Vs Grmbl - Winner: Panda Global (3 to 0) Method: Triforce Vs Unitas Black - Winner: Method: Triforce (3 to 0) Blank Esports Vs Rockets: Eclipse - Winner: Rockets: Eclipse (3 to 0) ABC Vs Sneaky Snakes - Winner: Sneaky Snakes (3 to 2) Method: Synergy Vs Imagine PVP - Winner: Method: Synergy (3 to 1) Unitas: Black Vs Pen & Paper - Winner: Unitas: Black (3 to 1) ABC Vs Imagine PVP - Winner: ABC (3 to 1) Originally Posted by MMO-Champion We were able to sit down with one of the competing teams, Method: Triforce, for a quick interview at the World Championships. Here is a recap: Q: What kind of effort and strategy do you do for these competitions in advance? A: We play every day. It goes from 2 to 3, sometimes 8 hours depending on the day. Every day we try to get quality practice, but if the day just doesn’t feel right or is bad for certain reasons we play less. Q: Do you do anything in WoW outside of arena? A: If you want to do arena you need artifact power and so we do world quests. It’s not our favorite activity, but it’s a habit. Q: In your spare time, do you do anything outside of video games entirely? A: It depends. The past months we haven’t really had time for anything else. Before arenas we didn’t practice as much, but then we got into arenas which was a boost in motivation to play. We took much of the summer off. After this we will see. Q: Do you have any interest in the Mythic Dungeon Invitational? A: We were joking about adding it to our days but we didn’t want to do it over PVP. Q: What about battlegrounds? A: We play rated battlegrounds sometimes, but not battlegrounds. Q: What do you expect for the future of arenas? A: The game right now is mostly balanced. If you play well you usually win. Having more complex classes could bring more life into arenas. How well you pressed your buttons and positioning played a much bigger role in damage output and performance in the past.

It's always an 8x8 grid with those edge connections. The layout of walls within them vary. (Celestalon) So was this post an elaborate troll, or is that still the optimal way to solve it even if you know how it really works? Mapping it is indeed the most *reliable* way to solve it (naturally you could just get lucky moving randomly, but that's not reliable). (Celestalon) Oh, you mean because my map isn't 8x8? Yeah, it's hard to tell where the edges are until you've mapped it all out, so you naturally go over. (Celestalon) Unless the offset when you wrap around is also randomised? Nope. (Celestalon) Wow, now i know why running straight didn't work. Btw how do you identify the teleportation trap room? Obvious case will be if you ever enter a room that has rubble where you came from. Otherwise, if you backtrack and see a diff room. (Celestalon) Which is why I'm asking who I presume is the designer Indeed, randomly chosen each time you hit the trap. Find the Teleportstion Trap, and avoid it from then on! (Celestalon) now is this maze the same for everyone or just you personally? Per the blog, "the Endless Halls is randomized based on your player ID, as well as the day of the week". That diagram is just an example. (Celestalon) Are the dimensions similar or just the same concept? Always 8x8. (Celestalon) Dark Legacy Comics #605 DLC #605 has been released! View the full article

Game Developer Tweets Originally Posted by MMO-Champion In a recent post on WoW, you said it’s easy in a rewards based system to manipulate players. How can you tell the difference between fun and manipulation? Sometimes it feels like a fine line between the two. Is manipulation related to when players do “bottom-feeding” like the Destiny loot cave? I think the lines are often blurred, and sometimes even blurred for an individual player. Some evenings you may be enjoying the activity itself, and other evenings you may just be sticking around because you are close to a milestone on your reward. Some evenings you may be enjoying the activity, but it’s really only the reward that is keeping you from logging off, playing another game, going to bed, or ranting about Game of Thrones. All of that said, overall I try to look and see if players are focused on the short term thing they are doing now, or if they are they only focused on the long term reward. Are they only playing for the rewards? Would the content even be fun without the rewards? A slot machine without rewards gets boring really quickly, so I would say it doesn’t pass the test. A game of League of Legends is (hopefully) fun, and we have a lot of players who have played 500+ games, so it’s probably not just “the grind” that is keeping them going. I didn’t play Destiny, but I am familiar with the loot cave. But I also don’t think you can say “See? Players were trying to short cut the reward system for that game, so clearly the gameplay wasn’t very compelling.” A game can be fun and players may still feel compelled to do least-common-denominator type stuff to get rewards. I refer often to the Mechanar, the BC-era dungeon in WoW that everyone farmed on heroic because it was generous with its currency badges. I think Mechanar was a fine dungeon and I farmed it a lot to get my Sun Eater. But I think it is specious to argue that Mechanar was sooo much more fun than the other BC dungeons that players ran it at such high rates. If anything, Mechanar was causing players not to run dungeons that they might have enjoyed more (or benefit from the variety that is so helpful in keeping dungeons from getting stale) because the rewards were poorly tuned. I compare it a lot to a long car trip. I love road trips overall (which typically goes along with spending a lot of years in Texas). But I also know there is a difference in road trips where you are enjoying every hour of seeing new things and listening to tunes, and others where you just want the ride to be done, and it’s also possible for a single trip to shift back and forth over its course.

Diablo Patch 2.6.1 Now Live An Interview with the 2017 HCT Summer Champion, Surrender Patch 7.3 Hotfixes - October 26 Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums) Argus Fixed an issue where Khazaduum could not be slain in Krokuun while the world quest "Holding the Spire" was active. Fixed a bug preventing Invasion Point: Cen’gar from properly appearing on the map. Classes Monk (Forums / Skills / Talent Calculator / Artifact Calculator / PvP Talent Calculator) Windwalker Damage of all abilities increased by 15%. Vestments of Enveloped Dissonance 2-piece bonus now reduces the cooldown of Rising Sun Kick by 1 second (was 2 seconds). Xuen's Battlegear 4-piece bonus now increases critical strike chance of Rising Sun Kick by 30% when Fists of Fury ends (was 65%). Developers’ notes: These changes, along with adjustments to the same set bonuses that were made in patch 7.3.2, should put the combination of 2- and 4-piece sets in line with our plans for the power of those tiers, and allow us to make the forthcoming Antorus tier competitive and valuable for Monk damage dealers. The spec-wide damage increase is intended to keep all of these adjustments from reducing overall damage output, and we’ve counteracted the changes in PvP with intent to be neutral. Dungeons and Raids The Deadmines Resolved an issue that could cause "Captain" Cookie's Throw Food from throwing food as intended. The Nighthold Fixed a bug causing the Living Infernal Core to sometimes drop in Raid Finder difficulty. Player versus Player Monk Windwalker PvP template Agility reduced by 14.5%.

Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums) Introduced within Patch 7.3, another series of puzzles from the Mind-Seekers, Azeroth’s enigmatic riddle-makers, put players to the test once more. Tens of thousands of players from around the world banded together to solve the puzzle in an amazing display of teamwork. At the end of their journey, they found themselves in possession of a brand new [Lucid Nightmare] mount to add to their mount collections, along with bragging rights for cracking the code. Congratulations! In this blog, we’ll be pulling back the curtain, once again, to talk about the designs behind each puzzle and how the community went about solving them. Spoilers abound! If you wish to solve this riddle yourself, DON’T read on! You have been warned. Inconspicuous Note #1: Secrets of Ulduar The Mind-Seekers seem to have a penchant for leaving their notes in obvious places. Maybe they want us to find their treasures? Maybe they feed on our thoughts? That’s probably not important… What was important was an Inconspicuous Note, sitting on a table in the Curiosities & Moore shop in Dalaran (Broken Isles): It begins in the 2104059. With a most pleasing sign. (These letters will not always rhyme.) 2104059, of course, is an anagram of 2009-04-15, the date of the Ulduar patch notes on the official World of Warcraft site. From there, players combed Ulduar for clues. Observant players discovered a new lever in the XT-002’s room that they could interact with among the piles of scrap. Pulling this lever summons a massive 20x20 grid of Scrapyard Lights on the floor of the room. Interacting with these lights toggles them on and off. In the Inconspicuous Note, the Mind-Seekers requested a “most pleasing sign.” Many signs and symbols appear in Ulduar, the most prominent being the four symbols of the keepers of Ulduar. Of the four symbols, the most pleasing to the Mind-Seekers is evidently that of Mimiron: a gear. Players needed to draw this symbol of ingenuity with the lights in order to progress. Inconspicuous Note #2: Mindcraft 1000 years imprisoned. Surely it weighs on the mind. This clue refers to the three dragons imprisoned with C’thun in the Temple of Ahn’Qiraj. Simply head to AQ40 and make your way to the end of the dungeon where C’thun resides. There was no way we weren’t doing something in AQ40, and we’ve always wanted to use that space behind the dragons! Just before C’thun is a side path to the dragons. Behind them, at the top of a stairway, you’ll find an altar with a Mind Larva on it. Interact with the Mind Larva to insert it into your brain, presenting you with a Jewelcraft-like match three minigame that will project in front of you (and anywhere you look). The key to winning the game, of course, is brains: match five brains in a row to win! We wanted to put in an easier, more fun puzzle to give your brains a rest. What we didn’t count on was the win condition on this puzzle bring one of the most hotly-debated things in the Secrets Discord channel, even after players had long progressed past it! Inconspicuous Note #3: The Chair Deeper than deep. Awaits your seat. In the deepest cavern of Deepholm, is a deep fissure to an even deeper place: the Deep Chasm. It won’t look like much at first, but mind your step—you won’t be defying gravity here. A lonely seat awaits you there, but it’s not just any seat; it’s a chair of insanity! This was, by far, one of the most fun and meme-filled portions of the search to watch. Well, we had a lot of fun at least! Sitting on that chair is a strange skull. On the back of the chair is a plaque that reads: The plaque is old and barely legible. You can only make out fragments of each line of text. Supremacy? Get... Shirk... ...eke... The Secret-Finding community, while nimble with previous riddles, was unable to crack this one for over 48 hours, and with good reason. Not only was the text misleading, but it was also localized completely different in various languages. For example, when English talked of Supremacy, German mentioned of Blackmail, and Traditional Chinese referenced Forests. This made many potential solutions invalid or nonsensical. In fact, the translation was different because the meaning of the words didn’t matter. The meaning of the word, line breaks and punctuation, and the idea that it was a partial text and that there were blanks to be filled in, were all red herrings. Only the letters mattered, which then formed an anagram. Developer Note: It was amazing to see the international community come together to break the first part of the riddle. Players in various languages realized that they could extract “is the key” from their text and they would be left over with a set of nonsense letters that was the same in multiple languages. They knew they were on to something! When “Is the key” is removed, the remaining letters were commonly similar in different languages. In English, they spelled RACKSUM GREEP. A bizarre sounding string of letters, which is actually the name of a new goblin NPC that was added to Ratchet in Patch 7.3. Players attempting to search for the name on the internet bizarrely found themselves on a WoWhead page for the original version of the Greench, the creature that was altered to create Racksum Greep while keeping his identity a secret. What they did know was that something had changed, and they were hot on the trail of the solution. RACKSUM GREEP IS THE KEY, or rather specifically, his outfit. He is wearing a rather obscure set of clothing, all low-level tailored gear in various bright colors. To solve this puzzle, players would have to present the skull in the cavern with the only adornment fit for it: Racksum Greep’s mask. The Shadoweave Mask was once obtained from a quest chain that began in Searing Gorge, but that area has long since been taken over by Dark Iron Steamsmiths, who now drop the Tailoring pattern for it. (You’ll want to put on the mask before entering the fissure). Talking to the Strange Skull while wearing the Shadoweave Mask sounds crazy on paper, but it also summons the next note. Inconspicuous Note #4: It’s Binary? Where the shaded delegate may appear. The ‘shaded delegate’ refers to the Dark Iron Ambassador, a rare spawn that sometimes appears in the Gnomeregan dungeon. Deep within the grinding, gear-filled city, you’ll find a wall with a series of 10 Numeric Consoles, which allow you to enter a digit from 1 to 9. Above these consoles is an Instructions plaque, which reads: 01110111 00100 10010110 10101 11110111 01100 01111111 01000 011010111001011010010110 10111101 11001 00111111 10010 01001001 10000 011010010110100111010110 01011011 11110 11110001 11111 11100000 00010 11111111 01000 10110111 10101 01111111 00001 10101110 11111 00110000 01000 101101010010101110010110 180 +1111111111 A puzzle in binary? Not so simple. The binary was another red herring, and a very effective one at that. This puzzle also stumped players for over 48 hours, though it didn’t quite hit the insanity level of The Chair. Here is the solution to the English version of this puzzle (which also works for all other languages, except for Traditional Chinese, which we’ll get to in a moment): The binary is in sets of 8, 5, and 24 digits. 8s and 5s always appear as a pair. For each 8-5 pair, take the sums of the digits in each side, and multiply them together. Ex: 10010110 10101 = 4 and 3, and 4 x 3 = 12. For each 24-digit entry, sum up the digits directly. Ex: 011010111001011010010110 = 13. That gives you the sequence 6 12 14 7 13 18 12 3 13 20 25 3 8 18 7 25 2 13. Put that through a basic Caesar cipher (A=1, B=2, C=3, etc…): F L N G M R L C M T Y C H R G Y B M That gives you abbreviated versions of three pet battle abilities found on Murloc pets: Falling Murloc, Mighty Charge, and Eye Beam. At max level, these abilities do a total of 684, 560, and 1110 damage, giving us our code, 6845601110. The ‘180’ near the end of the instructions tells you to flip it around (as in 180 degrees): 0111065486. And lastly, +1111111111 is simple addition: 1222176597. Putting 1222176597 into the Numeric Consoles will complete this puzzle. The localization team was put to the test with this puzzle, as the solution doesn’t work in Traditional and Simplified Chinese. Both localization teams did a great job of coming up with their own puzzle, and the puzzle was first solved in Traditional Chinese! Enterprising players eventually worked the puzzle solution out in non-Chinese languages by working backward from the known solution! Traditional Chinese is not an alphabetic but an idiographic language, here is the solution: Each is not really a value but the quantity of the binary code 0 and 1. Ex: the first number ‘2’ means 2 zeros and the second ‘3’ means 3 ones, and in this way, 23211 can be converted to 001110010. Convert the binary code gained to hex. Convert the hex to ASCII code. Convert the ASCII codes to the Traditional Chinese characters. The result is the three localized battle pet ability names: Falling Murloc 魚人墜落擊 Mighty Charge 全力衝鋒 Eye Beam 魔眼光束 Simplified Chinese uses Pinyin to Romanize the Chinese characters into letters. The pet battle abilities, 天降鱼人 强力冲锋 眼棱, become Tianjiangyuren Qianglichongfeng Yanleng. Similar to the English solution, we then removed the vowels and converted the remaining letters into fake binary. With the correct numbers entered, all the consoles close up and the next note appears. Inconspicuous Note #5: Nightmare Tumor Games and toys are left behind. When you awaken screaming. This clue directs you to the Emerald Nightmare-affected areas of Val’sharah, where the Night Elves living there were driven from their homes by the Nightmare. In one particular home in Ash’theran, you’ll find a minigame, similar to the Blingtron’s Circuit Design minigame, which has been corrupted by Il’gynoth. The goal of the minigame is to uncross all Il’gynoth’s optic nerves by clicking on his eyeballs to swap them. Meanwhile, Il’gynoth is reminding you that you are going “mad, mad, mad…” Inconspicuous Note #6: The Endless Halls What you seek is buried within. Secret-seekers, naturally, would seek the Tomb of Secrets (within the Valley of Emperors) in Kun-Lai Summit, wherein secrets are buried. There, you’ll find an urn you can interact with to consume the ashes of an evil sorcerer (seems like a good idea). When you wake up, you will find yourself in an endless maze. We sought to create a puzzle that couldn’t be completed by just following a guide. Thus, the Endless Halls is randomized based on your player ID, as well as the day of the week. Very few players will ever see the same layout, and coming back the next day will present you with an entirely new challenge. The Endless Halls is a cruel, uncompromising maze, designed to confuse and disorient at every turn. You start in a nondescript room with foggy exits in the four cardinal directions (N/E/S/W), though some are blocked by rubble. Going in one of these exits will fade the screen to black, then fade back in with you in the connected room. The goal of the maze is to find 5 colors of orbs (red/blue/green/yellow/purple), and deliver them (carried one at a time) to the 5 matching colors of runes. However, several mechanics make this much more difficult than it may sound. The maze is arranged on an 8x8 grid of rooms. Each cell has between one and four exits. However, if it would have 4 exits, it’s actually not a single room, but two two-way rooms that occupy the same space, but don’t intersect. These Non-Intersecting Cross rooms are the first major source of confusing discontinuity, and also cannot contain any Orbs or Runes. The second main source of disorientation is the edges. They loop around, but not directly. Instead, exiting one end of the maze will send you to the other side of the maze, with an additional offset. This makes it very difficult to tell what room you will end up in if you cross the edge of the map. You can, however, reliably backtrack from your new position to your previous position. Many players made frequent use of this backtracking to reliably navigate the maze without getting lost. In addition, there is one final wrench thrown into the gears: the Teleportation Trap. Within the maze, a single room is the Teleportation Trap. When you enter this room, you are instead secretly teleported to a random room in the maze. Once you’ve identified the Teleportation Trap room, avoid it at all costs! Once you’ve dropped the fifth orb off at its matching rune, the next exit you travel through will takes you to a golden room with the next Inconspicuous Note. We learned a ton from how the Endless Halls were experienced by players. Overall, it was an exciting and unexpected part of the series, but a few things could have gone better. By putting the hardest and most involved puzzle at the very end made players trickle through the finish line, depriving the community of the mass celebration moment as everyone who had been working hard on it together completed it at the same time. Most importantly, the variance in difficulty of different mazes led to some being easily solved by wandering randomly, and some requiring careful mapping to finally solve, leading to frustration for the few with especially challenging mazes. While having individual mazes turned out great, the difficulty variance was just too high. We’ll keep all of this in mind for next round, and thanks for the community suggestions that we add jump scares. Good call! Inconspicuous Note #7: The Forgotten Crypt The way is now open. To the greatest secret never told. A fitting end to your journey. The clue here is a reference to a place in the world that has long been a secret to those in the know, but has never been used—the horrendously creepy Forgotten Crypts in Karazhan. In the game since the WoW’s initial launch, exploration-focused players ventured into these crypts for years after each patch, in the hopes of finding some newly-added secret. They were perpetually disappointed—until now. This time, sitting on top of a pile of bones near the bottom of this huge-but-empty crypt (within The Pit of Criminals) is a chest containing the [Lucid Nightmare]. We hope you enjoyed this breakdown of our riddles in the hunt for the [Lucid Nightmare]. The development team thoroughly enjoyed watching the community’s progress, memes, and far-out suggestions as more than 1000 people somehow managed to talk together in a single voice channel. We hope you had fun, too! Until next time, the Mind-Seekers bid you farewell. Your BlizzCon 2017 Community Night Host…and Judges!

Alienware Peripherals Giveaway BlizzCon Virtual Ticket Giveaway New Ways to Connect Through Blizzard Battle.net Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker) We’re excited to introduce an array of new social features designed to give Blizzard players even more ways to stay connected inside our games and out—all available starting today in the Blizzard Battle.net® desktop app. The new Social tab includes the brand-new Blizzard Groups feature and hosts all of your chats, and player-to-player gifting gives you new ways to show your appreciation to your friends. We’ve also launched some new features that let you control how you appear to the Blizzard community, including profiles and avatars that let you customize your online persona, along with the ability to appear offline—read more about all these features below. Social Tab Our new Social tab is your one-stop-shop for managing all your various social interactions, including chatting one-on-one with a friend and engaging in our new Blizzard Groups feature. Chat now works even when you’re offline, so you can send a message to an offline friend and they’ll receive it when they come back online. You’ll also see a history of your chat, so you’ll easily be able to pick up where you left off in all of your conversations. These chat features are designed to work seamlessly with the recently launched Blizzard Battle.net mobile app, which lets you chat on the go—download it free now for iOS and Android to help stay connected to your friends anywhere. Blizzard Groups Blizzard Groups are a new way for you to connect with your friends and other groups of players who share common interests, whether it’s prepping for a raid, hanging out to cheer on your favorite esports team, or geeking out over a new comic or animated short. Each Group can have multiple text and voice chat channels, and Group administrators have a variety of tools to help manage membership, send out invitation links, and more. When it’s time to go offline, you can easily catch up on conversations you might have missed once you return. Head to the new Social tab to get the party started! Player Gifting One of your Blizzard friends have a birthday coming up? Or just want to say “thanks” for some awesome support in a recent game? With player-to-player gifting, you can purchase and send in-game gifts to your friends. To send a gift, head to the Shop tab and select a gifting-enabled item such as Hearthstone card packs or an Overwatch Loot Box. Select the Gift button, and then choose the desired recipient’s or BattleTag from a drop-down menu during the purchasing process. When someone sends you a gift, the upper right of the app will light up to show you that something’s waiting (you can also select View Gifts from the drop-down menu under your BattleTag). Click Claim or visit the Gifts web page on mobile to add the gift to your collection in the associated game. Profiles and Avatars Let the Blizzard world know a little bit more about you by customizing your profile and choosing an avatar. Your profile lets you share what’s on your mind with an About message, add links to where people can find you on social media, show people what games you’ve been playing recently, and more. You can also choose whether to make your profile public so that potential pals can learn more about you. Your avatar will represent you in chats, in Groups, and other places in the Blizzard community. You can choose from more than 100 different heroes, villains, and other iconic characters from across Blizzard’s game universes and beyond. Customize your profile and choose an avatar through the View Profile button in the app header and Friends list drop-downs. Appear Offline Appear offline allows you to set your status to show you as “offline” to your Blizzard friends while remaining connected to Battle.net. This means you can launch the app and game away without distraction. Appearing offline will show you as offline to everyone in your Blizzard friends list both in the Battle.net app and in-game. Gameplay and game-specific features such as matchmaking are unaffected while you are appearing offline. Note that in the case of World of Warcraft, you will still appear online as your character in-game. While appearing offline you can still send and receive messages in the app, but it is up to you when you want to respond.

Diablo at BlizzCon 2017 All Pro Decks from DreamHack Denver 2017 World of Warcraft Novel - Before the Storm Christie Golden is writing another WoW book! Before the Storm will release on May 15, 2018. The book may have been previously titled "Lightning Crashes". Originally Posted by MMO-Champion An all-new, official tie-in novel to Blizzard Entertainment’s critically acclaimed World of Warcraft, from New York Times bestselling author Christie Golden Taking place after the climactic events of Shadows of Argus, World of Warcraft: Before the Storm tells the story of what awaits the heroes of the Horde and the Alliance in the wake of their struggle against the demonic Burning Legion. Patch 7.3 - Character Races This weekend there has been lots of excitement in the Expansion Hype Thread about the addition of entries to the ChrRaces database file. Patch 7.3 added entries to the file for the Nightborne, Highmountain Tauren, Void Elves, and Lightforged Draenei. Many of the races in this file are playable character races, but some are just NPCs, such as the Naga, Vrykul, Tuskarr, and others. The last NPC race was added to this database during Wrath of the Lich King. All four entries have a character select screen background set. None of the new races are used in-game on a creature except Lightforged Draenei. All four entries are flagged as being unplayable, set to a Neutral faction, and have reputations linked to existing reputations in the game. There are no entries specifying race-class combinations for these new races. Data in other linked files are not consistent with being playable races. The data left behind is not consistent with something complete that has been intentionally hidden. It is possible that we are seeing a work in progress. Patch 7.3 added an additional model related file to allow models to have bones used for customization but share animations with other models. In Patch 7.3.2, the Lightforged Draenei and Draenei are the only models in the game to have this new file. TL;DR: There is a chance we are seeing the groundwork being laid for playable subraces, but we will probably have to wait until BlizzCon for confirmation of sub-races. Maybe Mag'har Orcs, Dark Iron Dwarves, and other sub-races finally got bumped up the priority list! Build of the Month - October 2017 Each month or so we will post a couple of hardware setups for those of you who are thinking of upgrading their computer! All of the parts on this page are Amazon affiliate links. When you purchase your parts through them it helps support the site! This month New CPUs from Intel have been released but are proving challenging to actually find in stock. If you aren't in a hurry to build, it is worth waiting for next month when stock should improve for these new CPUs. They will require a new motherboard as well. We will update our build list with the 8600K and other Coffee Lake CPUs when stock improves. The current SSD prices are fairly flat right now, with most SSDs under $0.50 per gigabyte when on sale. Depending on how much you want to overclock, you may need to spend a bit more for a better CPU cooler like the NH-D15. Unless you are doing a lot of video rendering or streaming, you do not need the 7700K and would get more performance from spending that money elsewhere. Make sure to keep your AMD and Nvidia drivers up to date. Don't forget to visit the Computer Forum for any extra questions!

Player versus Player Your item level is now set to 935 while participating in Tournament Rules wargames (was iLvl 900). This Week in WoW History We're taking a look back at old MMO-Champion posts and World of Warcraft news that occurred during this time in previous years. Tier 11 Models Released The first raid in the Cataclysm brought us some great looking sets which were featured in 2010 prior to the release of Blackwing Descent. This was the first raid where loot was normalized in 10 and 25 man modes, allowing guilds to choose which raid size they wanted to go with. Incoming Cataclysm In 2010 a short TV commercial aired, giving all World of Warcraft fans a Cataclysm teaser. The full trailer was also released on YouTube, which showed us Deathwing bringing the Cataclysm to Azeroth. Expansion trailer reveals typically happen at BlizzCon, however this was released over a week before it, which further built the anticipation for more details to be shared at the event. Mists of Pandaria Announcement Mists of Pandaria was officially announced, showing off the new race and class to come in the next expansion. With this post we also got some information, such as the level cap being raised, pet battle system being added, and our talent system being redesigned. Endgineer Omegaplugg - Let the Puzzles Begin One of many secrets discovered in Legion was the hidden boss in Gnomeregan. This was a 5 man boss, which was summoned by pushing a hidden button in the room of the last boss. This new boss was also much more difficult than the typical dungeon boss, which required players to be well geared, and execute a clever strategy to deal with all of his mechanics. After defeating him, the group was rewarded with the Vial of Green Goo toy. World of Warcraft and Cooking Have you ever wondered what Conjured Mana Strudels taste like? In 2016 the official World of Warcraft Cookbook released featuring many of the iconic in game meals and drinks. This book is still available for purchase on Amazon, so if you wanted to bring the tastes of Azeroth meals to your home, it’s time to pick one up. View the full article

Era Leaderboard Changes & Travis Day's Necromancer Retrospective What Happened in Hearthstone? Taking a Look Back at October 9 - 15 Path of the Titans Trinkets - Secondary Effect Only Procs in Raids The secondary proc effects on the Path of the Titans trinkets coming with Antorus in Patch 7.3.2 will only work inside of the raid. Keep in mind: Aman'Thul's Vision drops from Argus and doesn't take one of your two legendary item slots. Pantheon's Blessing will allow you to upgrade the epic trinkets to item level 1000 Pantheon's Blessing drops from Argus on all difficulties. Your group needs four unique Path of the Titans trinket procs to be active at once to activate the secondary effect. Level Type Name 1000 Trinket Aman'Thul's Vision 940 Trinket Aggramar's Conviction 940 Trinket Norgannon's Prowess 940 Trinket Khaz'goroth's Courage 940 Trinket Golganneth's Vitality 940 Trinket Eonar's Compassion Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums) Hey guys, A slightly different discussion here, but just popping in with a note that the secondary Equip effect on the Antorus trinkets that note "When empowered by the Pantheon...", such as 'Aman'Thul's Grandeur' on Aman'Thul's Vision or 'Khaz'goroth's Shaping' on Khaz'goroth's Courage will only function within the Antorus raid once it is live. Currently on the PTR this effect works outside of the raid, but its worthwhile to offer some clarification so there's no confusion once the raid itself is live. If you have any questions on this, let me know! So, we'll be able to equip a third legendary, but only if we raid in Argus? Yes. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums) Ah, wasn't aware all 6 were needed for the proc trigger. Thanks for clearing that up snarky pants. While it won't function in Mythic+ we did change the six requirement so you only need four unique buffs to trigger the Pantheon secondary proc inside Antorus. You can have any possible combination of the unique five to activate this additional proc. Aman'Thul's Vision ignores the rule as a "wildcard" filling any gap that you might be missing from the other five. So for example you can have two Aman'Thul's and two of the other uniques and it will trigger the Pantheon proc. Keep in mind we're still tweaking and making changes to the trinkets so please keep voicing your feedback about it I'd like to point out that Aman'Thuls does not function this way currently on the PTR, the only thing special is its starting ilevel. Only four Pantheon trinket procs of any kind need to overlap to trigger empowerment. I've tested this multiple times, using various combinations as well as four of the same trinket. Currently all of the trinkets on PTR behave like Aman'Thul's Vision does in the Pantheon proc but will be changed to be unique before it goes live, other than Aman'Thul's which will stay as a wild card. Still as always subject to change but that's the current plan. Is Aman'thul's intended to only have an Intellect proc as its secondary empowerment? Considering the value of any variant of Arcanocrystal to more than just Intellect classes, this seems like a massive oversight. That might be a tooltip issue either on the PTR or on your client side but it should change depending on whatever your primary stat is. As much as a Warrior might like to be smarter with that proc it just wouldn't exactly help. If you're getting the buff as Intellect please let us know so we can get that fixed! (Blue Tracker / Official Forums) Local Currency Update Coming to Canada, Japan, and New Zealand Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums) Later this year, we’ll be changing pricing on Blizzard Battle.net® from USD to local currency in Canada, Japan, and New Zealand. We’re excited to introduce the change. It’s a key step toward growing our service globally and making it easier for players in these regions to shop and manage their accounts with us. Once this change takes effect, local currency will be used for pricing across Battle.net and within all of Blizzard’s game shops. The same goes for any Blizzard Balance that players in these regions have stored with us, which will convert over to their local currency. Existing recurring World of Warcraft® subscriptions will not be affected and will continue using USD. However, any new or renewed subscriptions and pre-paid Game Time cards will be offered in their local currency. While we haven’t finalized the exact date, the switch in these regions is currently slated to take effect before the end of this year. At that time, all product pricing and any stored Blizzard Balance will be converted from USD to the local currency based on the rate provided by one of the major exchanges. For players in New Zealand, pricing will be inclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST). We want to make as many of our players as possible feel at home in the Blizzard ecosystem, regardless of where they’re logging in from. We also want to make shopping with us seamless and easy. Switching to local currencies is a key step toward achieving this. Some of our customers will be able to avoid paying unnecessary transaction fees charged by banks and financial institutions. Furthermore, this change will also help us expand the types of payment we can accept, allowing us to add payment methods that we previously couldn’t offer because of their restrictions on transacting in USD. We’ll provide an update for our players in Canada, Japan, and New Zealand once we formally make the switch to their local currencies. In the meantime, we’ve put together a brief FAQ to provide you with more information on the coming changes. FAQ When are you switching to local currency in Canada, Japan, and New Zealand? Today, we announced that the change is coming and that it’s slated to take place before the end of the year. We will provide an update to players when the transition takes place. What products will be affected by these changes? The conversion to local currencies will affect all product pricing across Blizzard Battle.net® as well as all in-game shops and any stored Blizzard Balance. Any existing recurring World of Warcraft® subscriptions will continue to use USD. However, any new or renewed subscriptions and pre-paid Game Time cards will be offered in local currency.

Diablo PTR Patch 2.6.1.47710 Patch Notes Meet BaiZe - The HCT's First Championship Woman Impresses in LA Patch 7.3.2 - Silithus Past Time Traveling Spell Patch 7.3.2 adds a wound to Silithus. You can get more context by listening to the VO and reading the old Sargeras shirt description. A recent PTR build added a spell that will allow you to go back to the version of Silithus that existed prior to the Wound in the World, similar to spells that allow you to go back to the old Blasted Lands or Theramore. Solo Gul'dan Kill Mionelol had another impressive solo kill recently, with a Normal Gul'dan kill! Originally Posted by MMO-Champion Gul'dan! Darkness Incarnate. How gracious of Blizzard to have created a whole cinematic just for me. This encounter would be pretty simple if it did not have an enrage timer, however I can safely say that timer is unbeatable with current DPS. Gul'dan himself has 1.04b HP, while enrage happens at 12 minutes. That's around 1.4million DPS, even disregarding phase 1 where he's immune to damage. But of course, enrage timers aren't really a thing that have stopped me in the past, have they? Gul'dan's enrage is one of those enrages that have a limited duration of 30 minutes; and thankfully, Gul'dan conveniently pacifies himself (more or less) during phase 1, which, combined with the fact the Inquisitor cannot move and has a maximum range on his Dark Blast, makes timing out the enrage possible, although it requires bandaging on cd and accurate cd usage+positioning in order to survive the +900% damage Liquid Hellfire casts. Prydaz helps tremendously with surviving, with the absorb shield being up on every hellfire, however I did not want to use Prydaz for the remainder of the fight and opted to survive without using it. Who would have thought first aid would be useful in Legion? It'd be pretty simple if it stopped there, however thankfully for Gul'dan, his adds also gain the enrage buff, which includes both the phase 1 adds and the eyes he summons frequently during phase 2 and 3. And, of course, that includes the eyes he summons even after Gul'dan himself is not affected by enrage anymore, which leads to the major struggle of this fight; how to deal with eyes that have a 900% damage buff? That's 2.5m damage taken per second, per eye. Each eye also buffs its damage with every tick, and duplicates relatively quickly if not killed, so it is imperative to dispose of them ASAP. My gear is entirely tailored towards that need (20% avoidance cap, extremely heavy emphasis on mastery/vers, moroes ring, double active trinkets) Of course, eye spawns overlap with his other abilities, mainly Fel Scythe and Bonds of Fel, which, while not particularly threatening by themselves, still deal a non negligible amount of damage and can be deadly when overlapping with eyes. In Phase 2, the duplicate eyes do not have the enrage buff, which makes them not too threatening (although it can still quickly get out of control if not rapidly kept in check), however in phase 3 the duplicates *do* enrage, which can very quickly lead to disaster. Moreoever, phase 3 has the dreaded "two eyes back to back" spawn, happening regularly, which is difficult to deal with, as you do not have infinite cooldowns at your disposal. Thankfully, that's also the only threat of phase 3. It nearly killed me towards the very end Either way, enjoy the kill! This took 1 hour and 9 minutes in total, however the fight truly begins at the 42:30ish mark, so that's more of a 27 minute fight. Gear: ilvl 943, artifact level 69.

This is generally what I'm talking about. Mobility and movement are not just gap closing, its the ability to get in, get out, and ignore, because if you can stand in an ability and not need to move through whatever means of negating it, then you're essentially eliminating the need to move at all. Really that quote came out of me not wording it correctly so that's my fault. What I should have said was "Retribution Paladins have great mobility/utility options for movement." This hurt to read. How do Blessings help mobility? > LUL maybe he thought pvp talents work in pve XD. There have been a lot of encounters over the years that have mechanics that you can ignore due to Blessing of Freedom and Blessing of Protection. I can't tell you how many times Freedom has saved me or a raid member during Mistress Sassz'ine alone this tier. Freedom and Blessing both are great utility options that Retribution can bring if they're needed especially if you have great reaction and raid awareness. There have been mechanics that you can actually eliminate by casting Blessing of Protection on someone the fraction of a second they're targeted before its applied if you're fast enough. If you're using these abilities in the right way they're considered mobility options in an encounter. Also, so that everyone is still aware, I'm a Community Manager and its just my opinion on the state of the Retribution. You can totally disagree with my assessment and that's fine. Retribution is fun to me and has been ever since I picked it up after Wrath went live and I'll honestly play it regardless of the state. I do still agree with some of the suggestions and opinions here but I don't personally think we need huge changes or overhauls, just little tweaks but overall we're fine.
