Primal News Transmute [23/10/2007] (Your sound card works perfectly.)

Rollcake Sunday, Sandwich Monday...

2.3 PTR Stuff

As always, big change list can be found at MMO Champion.

Beep Boop, looks like MMO Champion exploded or something. You can go to World of Raid's post for now.

Alchemist Goodies



Alchemists get their own potion. Too bad I was never an alch so I don't know if this is supposed to be really cheap or something.

Hunters finally get Mortal Strike

It took them almost three years, but the last of the three physical DPS classes finally has a healing debuff. See, I say physical DPS because that's the only thing a Warrior, Hunter or Rogue can do in PvP.

Also, deadzone was shrunk to 1 yard in radius, apparently. I wonder if Arcane Shot still dispels Divine Shield.

Blizzard lets more people experience content

And at the same time makes rolling alts so much less painful. Heroics now only require Honoured to use the key.

Atiesh can no longer spawn portals in Battlegrounds

This is an outrage. How else am I supposed to filter out the retards in my battlegroup raid?

Blizzard once again shows that they don't know anything about PvP

Mmm, yeah, let's nerf survivability abilities one by one. Soon we can be as popular as CS in the competitive gaming community when everyone similarly dies in three hits.

2.4 to feature Sunwell Plateau

I wonder how the Alliance are supposed to get easy access to ZA and the new Sunwell Isles area. Maybe they should, you know, set up a portal to those areas in Shattrath. You know, like a Troll standing next to a portal leading to Zul'Aman or something.

Grats on 20

What's this? A level 19 twink complaining that the Halloween quest gives experience? I love it when bad things happen to terrible people (in this case, twinks).

Blizzard's Arena Set Naming Hat

Implacable. Remorseless. Angry. Relentless. Unrelenting. Unyielding. Spectacular. Inexorable. Ferocious. Savage. Pitiless. Mean. Heartless. Ruthless. Uncouth. Cruel. Barbarous. Unbending. Delicious.

New: Tenacious. Pernicious. Vicious. Horrendous. Stupendous. Reckless. Impetuous. Insidious.

*guitar riff*

Do you like Guitar Hero 3? Would you like to see most of the songs in the game? Well this guy somehow got the game early and has been putting videos of the songs he can access onto Youtube (some songs are Coop only, like SABOOOTAAAAAAAGE).

Obligatory Anime Blurb

Add Moyashimon to your list.

If you're watching Gundam 00, stay the hell away from Nyoro~n subs. They're literally making shit up as they go along.

Amusing Armoury Link of the Week

Here.

Really digging the bottom of the barrel here, maybe I'll have better luck next week.

Oh, by the way, if you're submitting things in for the Armoury link, it doesn't count if the person is obviously logging off with a different set of gear just to make them look stupid on the Armoury.

Also, I'm still lobbying hard for Uncouth Gladiator's Legplates of the Boar. Tough, and sexy.

Armory links are going downhill, hire more interns for the research, or start feeding the old ones redbull and chocolate covered espresso beans.

Though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours, and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable; I simply am not there.

I like the +10 haste rating to gloves. That's incredible.

I liked the Band of the Great Tortoise and Carrot on a Stick more.

Also, he's got 1 kill too many; 1337 would have been awesome on THAT profile.

Honestly a lot of these are more sad than amusing.

It was kinda ho-hum until I saw the choice of Aftermath over Bane. That made me pause in drinking my coffee.

Seriously. 10% daze proc over SB cast time reduction?

I'm still bitter about Horde getting a Gnomeregan teleporter and Alliance having to flop through hostile territory for FIVE instances (ignoring RFC, lawl).

I think the Plateau will be an entirely new zone (or two), though, with some sort of neutral hub on the Isle, and if I had to guess there will probably be boat access from the Exodar dock for Alliance, and FP access from Silvermoon for Horde.

There's a haste rating enchant for gloves! I'd like one with 10 spell haste too :-)

The level 20 twink had me laugh hard. These people are responsible that battlegrounds are not fun at all in the lower levels. It's about twice as bad as full epic vs full blues. At level 19 they have three times the damage output and three times the hitpoints of a regular leve 19.

Oh boy, Raining Blood is a lot harder than I'd imagined.

Damn I forgot I had a reply in this thread! :[

Maybe I'm a little outdated with what twinks at still able to enchant their gear with, but that persons gear seemed quite mediocre and not as painstakingly time consuming as he/she was saying. Not even a libram on their helm.

Well, he does have 300 more hitpoints than my level 25 rogue who is equipped in relativly highlevel greens. So he'd have twice as many hitpoints than the average level 19 and probably kills cloth in 3-4 hits.

Pretty sure you'll be able to use the rest of that guild for further armoury links.... their GM and (presumably) MT sure made some interesting talent choices.

You just wait until next patch when improved disarm is really going to shine pal, then we'll see who looks like a fool!
