Looks like some hot fixes were put into place Combat and Careers Fixed an issue with the Rune Priest spell Grimnir’s Shield that allowed it to stack with Guard to absorb 100% of incoming damage. Fixed an issue with the Zealot spell Embrace the Warp that allowed it to stack with Guard to absorb 100% [...]

As I pass through the mid 20′s on my main, it’s becoming more apparent that traveling between storyline to quest has become a requirement. While early on doing cross-chapter questing was something for fun, post 20 it’s a must. Sticking to a single storyline without intense grinding leaves you far too low as you progress [...]

Apparently there were around 500,000 people completely fed up with WoW…or just bored waiting for WotLK. Half a million users have registered to play Mythic’s Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, according to publisher Electronic Arts. The figures come after only one week on sale, with EA claiming the title is the fastest-selling MMO of all [...]

The mail system is horrid. Mythic really needs to spend some time playing WoW (with the postal addon) to understand what a truly terrible job they have done on this feature. The overall interaction is painfully slow but here are some more specific gripes; – A 20 second forced delay between sending mail is great [...]

I was able to melee those that were on the ground (really on the ground [...]

The headstart has ended and from the customer perspective was a roaring success. Introducing players in waves while at the same time giving them the perception of a reward was a brilliant strategy. The pre-order revenue surely did much to boost confidence for the bean counters at EA. The traditional first day slam was avoided [...]

The headstart ended this morning and the deadline for entering valid CD keys has passed. However, Mythic was wise enough to extend the deadline for select customers, depending on purchase method. Playing for a few days and then getting locked out because the UPS guy is functionally retarded and/or your retailer doesn’t grasp the importance [...]

While playing numerous scenario last night I found myself longing for the release of World of Warcraft®: Wrath of the Lich King™. This may sound odd given the fact that quitting WoW was indeed a forever kind of thing, but hear me out. There are too many WoW players in WAR! The types of players [...]

My first thought when opening up my CE edition is that the miniature sux!  It’s my fault for expecting something better than what I got, but this thing is pretty weak.  The Collector’s Edition page shows a nicely painted miniature fully assembled and looking good.  I’m still not sure if mine is broken or not.  [...]

Even asking a GameStop employee to simply see a Collector’s Edition box with the naked eye results in the rage-inducing response of “Did you pre-order it?”.
