Patch 3.3.3 PTR: Updated patch notes
Filed under: News items It’s that time again, ladies and gentlemen! The Patch 3.3.3 PTR has been given a brand new build, and with it comes a few changes to the patch notes. There aren’t many changes, but the few that are there are rather significant to the classes they impact. The changes are as follows: Hunters Heart of the Phoenix: Cooldown reduced to 8 minutes, down from 10 minutes. Warriors Thunderclap: This ability now counts as a ranged attack, granting it double damage on critical strikes instead of 150% and ranged miss chance, and still cannot be dodged or parried.

Will WoW ever have a ‘DPS to heal’ model?
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion , Blizzard , News items We were just talking about it on today’s podcast (thrill to the sound of three people barely awake trying to coherently discuss World of Warcraft ) and hey, look, Ghostcrawler reads my mind from across the interwebs. Well, okay, no, he responded to a forum thread, but it’s still interesting . Yes, interesting enough that I’m going to replicate the post here before discussing it. I am out of control, a renegade, I should hand in my posting badge and keyboard

Update on City of Heroes/Villians :Looking through a Dark Mirror
The start of 2010 has become a busy time in the world of City of Heroes /Villains. That being said, I thought this would be a great time to get everyone caught up on the latest happenings in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles. Snaptooth : a Seasonal Event Boss Last month saw the annual Spring Fling event seasonal arrive where heroes and villains get to team together on missions in the shared zone of Pocket D. For those who are not familiar with Pocket D, it is a zone in the game where both heroes and villains can meet but cannot fight each other. During seasonal events there are usually missions that force both sides to complete a mission for rewards of badges, temporary powers or costume pieces. As usual it was fun mixing archetypes on missions and allowed for some interesting team ups while trying to defeat the every annoying Snaptooth and his minions. Things really did not slow down after the Spring Fling with the announcement of Double XP Weekend that took place this past weekend, starting a day early on Thursday. This was followed very closely by the announcement of the release date of the Going Rogue expansion in July and more information on the coming free update Issue 17: Dark Mirror scheduled to arrive in April. Example of the crowds of people that came out for Double XP Weekend When it comes to Issue 17, like any new update, there are things I am looking forward to and some I don’t think I will get a lot of use out of. Even though the game has given you the ability to add tails to your costume they have always been, like the hair in the game, very stiff and don’t react to what the player is doing. Now with this release we are supposed to see tails that will react to movement by swaying or swishing. I think this is a great improvement and will give some new life to some costumes. Hopefully hair animations for characters will not be too far behind. Sample of what Ultra Mode will look like Dark Mirror will also feature the debut of Ultra Mode which will give a heightened level of detail in lighting, reflections, shadows and water effects in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles. Users will only be able to access this if they current video card meets the requirements. A few years ago I noticed a huge difference on how the game looked when I upgraded from an old C.R.T.
