Dyack: EVE Online 'unparalleled' compared to World of Warcraft (WoW Guide)

admin — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 03:15:07 +0000

, humans and night elves? In the eyes of Silicon Knights founder Denis Dyack it does. During an interview conducted by videogaming247, Dyack weighed both Blizzard's World of Warcraft and CCP Games' EVE Online on what he considered the superior MMO game.

Dyack admitted to trying out WoW for nearly a month when he told himself, "You know, I've got to stop this". He then came the conclusion that compared to EVE Online, the latter had more depth in terms of content and gameplay. Here's a quote from Dyack regarding his opinion on the Sci-Fi MMO game:

I was really, really big into EVE Online. I love EVE Online, and actually for me personally I actually think it s a better game. I know it s a lot harder core, but the depth of it s unparalleled and I love it. But I have to stop, force myself to stop playing those games because it takes so much time.

He was also relieved about finally finishing the development for Too Human. He said that this meant he now has time to play games of all sorts. Anyway, that apparently is his two cents regarding what he considers the better MMO title.

Leipzig: Games Convention 2009 dated, GC 2008 sets record (World of Warcraft)

admin — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 05:30:07 +0000

Games Convention 2008 finally closing its curtains, we now get confirmation that next year's event has already been scheduled. The announcement was made via press release by Leipziger Messe GmbH CEO Wolfgang Marzin: GC 2009 will be held from August 19 to 23, also in Leipzig.

Along with the announcement, we hear of a survey conducted to this year's event's visitors, asking them if they'd want to see another GC next year.

Among all the visitors - whether trade exhibitor or part of the general public (some of which have travelled from half way across the world just to see the show) - a vast majority of about 90 agreed.

This makes me think of what the outcome would have been if a survey like this were conducted at the end of this year's E3, but moving on…

GC 2008's success is proven by the sheer number of visitors who dropped in: over the four-day period, some 203,000 people came in. Compared to last year, the number of software and hardware companies from around the world who participated in the Leipzig event have increased, from 189 to 234.

World of Warcraft Arena Season 4 will end soon (WoW Guide)

admin — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 07:15:02 +0000

forums in Europe, Season four of the Arena will end in less than two weeks, on October 14.

Once Season 4 ends, teams and ratings will carry over so that players still get to earn points and purchase gear until Wrath of the Lich King launches on November 13. Also, note that October 14 is only a tentative date, as Wryxian explains:

We re currently planning to end the fourth Arena season on October 14, 2008, and as always — this date could easily change.

This Arena Season is only ending in respect to the ladder, meaning we'll be taking a snapshot of the season's ladder and then go through our normal process to determine who is eligible for the end-of-season rewards. This process should take approximately one week.

It's very important for players who feel that they may be eligible for the arena-specific title and/or Armored Nether Drake to refrain from transferring their character to another realm between the date outlined above, and when the end-of-season rewards are physically awarded.

The beta servers for Wrath of the Lich King are down , ladies and gents. That's because they are about to unleash a new build, and you bet this is but the calm before the storm.

As rumor would have it, based on the Gamona video interview at Leipzig earlier today, the level cap will be raised to 80. We cannot know for sure until the servers go back up. The downtime is expected to run for about six to eight hours, which started at 2:30PM PST.

Reputation Guide AV Reputation And Rewards (WoW Horde Guides)

admin — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 11:30:05 +0000

The WOW pvp system awards time and not skill, so if you don't have 12 hours a day for PVP'ing, going for exalted with one of the factions in the battlegrounds, will most likely get you better results gear-wise. The advantage of going for exalted with the BG factions is that your reputation gains aren't reliant on others, as it is with the PVP system, so you can gain rep when you want and it doesn't decay.

There are 3 battlegrounds; Alterac Valley (AV), Arathi Basin (AB) and Warsong Gulch (WG).

Alterac Valley
Alliance gains reputation with the Stormpikes and Horde gain reputation with the Frostwolves. The most interesting rewards are at exalted (of course :D). Reputation gains are as follows (from WOWwiki.com):

Quote: Note that in Alterac Valley all reputation with Stormpike/Frostwolves is shared amoungst all combatants, whether or not they are partied with you or not. However some turns in will give reputation with one of the 4 main primary factions. This faction is not shared.

Killing the enemy General (300 rep)
Killing the enemy Captain (125 rep)
Killing an enemy Lieutenant or Commander (12 rep)
Killing an enemy Wind Rider (5 rep)
Killing any Enemy Guard (5 rep) *NOTE: This is capped through honored like Argent Dawn, doesn't give rep in exalted*
Killing an enemy player (1 rep), IF you are in the enemy player's threat list. This means that you must have damaged the enemy, buffed or healed a player that damaged the enemy, or debuffed the enemy.
Killing Ivus the Forest Lord or Lok'holar (125 rep)
Destroying an enemy tower (12 rep)
1-time quests (first turnin of each repeatable, capture a tower/mine/graveyard, etc) (~100 rep each, varies)
Repeatable reputation quests

Ram hide/frostwolf hide (2 rep)
Bringing a ram/frostwolf to your stable (1 rep)
Armor Scraps (1 rep for 20 + 10 Ironforge/Orgrimmar for the character)

Wind Riders
Sildore/Guse (1 rep)
Vipore/Jeztor (2 rep)
Ichman/Mulverik (5 rep)
At the end of the game, extra rep is gained for each of the following conditions:

Enemy Captain killed (36 rep)
Your Captain is still alive (125 rep)
Enemy tower destroyed (24 rep each)
Enemy Lieutenant/Commander killed (12 rep each)

Easy(AFK) Weapon Skill Lvl'ing (WoW Horde Guides)

admin — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 14:00:03 +0000

This is in no way a new strategie, but I havn't seen it listed anywhere. I find this particularly useful on a lvl 60 character, as you can simply go afk and let your skill rise

Step 1 - Fly to Netherguard Keep, Blasted Lands.
Step 2 - Travel to 42,30ish where you will find mobs of humanoids. One of the mobs is called a "Servant of Sevine".
Step 3 - Clear your way to the servant, and agro the servant.
Step 4 - Kite this mob back to netherguard keep, and move it into the southern tower.

Here you must lose agro, and let the elite guards inside the keep tank the mob. Once you have lost agro, you are free to hit the mob, and go afk whilst your skill rises. If you are familiar with the quest involving these mobs, then you will know that you have to cog a crystal for the mob to die. Obviously there crystal is not cogged, and so the mob stays on 1% until a GM decides to despawn it (which usually takes 24hrs+ due to the obscure locale.) I'm sure you could pull the mob elsewhere for horde, although I am unfamiliar with the horde camps in that area. I would imagine you could do the same thing by kiting the mob to the horde camp in the south of the Swamp of Sorrows.

New item drop to make 300-400 gold per hour! (WoW Horde Guide)

admin — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 15:45:03 +0000

If you are a skinner you make even more gold.

In winterspring where the elite dragons are you can make alot of gold
They have a pretty high drop rate of Mature Blue Dragon Sinew that sells for 300-400g depending on your server but on my server they sell for 300-400g. They also drop lots of grey that you can vendor for some g, And plenty greens to. If you don't already have 16 slots bags you will get yours there to
I've got pretty much of Traveler's Backpack. That sell for 18-25g at AH depending on your server as always

If you are a skinner you get alot of rugged leather and blue dragonscales.
And they also drop silver from 14-20s, They are easy to kill solo also, I'm a shaman with decent gear killing them with no problems.

My exact amount of gold right now is 3453g

I hope this will help all those poor guys out there.

Wrath of the Lich King pre-release patch coming soon (Warcraft Horde Guide)

admin — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 19:00:10 +0000

The Wrath of the Lich King expansion for Blizzard's much-loved World of Warcraft is all ready to invade the PC gaming world by storm. But before that, a new content patch is in order.

Says Blizzard, you can expect this patch to arrive in the coming weeks, and this is quite akin to what Blizz did prior to the release of The Burning Crusade.

This patch for WotLK essentially caters to the bridging of the current game content with the expansion. Gotta keep it all in the family, you know. As expected, there are, of course, exciting changes and additions, the most prominent of which are the following:

New class spells and talents
Stormwind Harbor
Barbershops in capital cities
Zeppelin towers outside of Orgrimmar and Tirisfal Glades
Two brand-new Arenas featuring challenging new layouts, terrain hazards, and moving obstacles
Guild calendar
Hunter pet skill revamp
New profession: Inscription

Do take note, though, that this is by no means the final list, so we're betting we'll be seeing some more stuff thrown our way before the patch comes out. Or if not, well, we can always check it out ourselves, right?

Oh, and do take heed, particularly all Burning Crusade players. You guys will be able to select Inscription as one of the two professions and level up to a skill level of 375 with it. On the release of WotLK, those who purchase and install the expansion will be able to continue their leveling in Inscription, as well as other professions, even beyond 375.

Watch out for the full patch notes! They're coming very soon.
