Rogue with 109% dodge

Posted in Warcraft on November 14th, 2007

Not sure if this is a bug but it seems that a level 10 rogue with all twinked gear can solo Van Cleef. His dodge rate was a record 109% percent.

I wonder if it works if you’re level 70. I bet it doesn’t!

WoW Porn

Posted in Warcraft on November 2nd, 2007

I find this movie quite entertaining, what’s your take?

The Internet is for porn… quite an engaging title for a machinima.

Nightelf Sex Goddess

Posted in Warcraft on October 19th, 2007

Tell me it ain’t so! Especially, coming from a dwarf (me)!

Nightelf Sex Goddess

Some say this is how WoW version 4.0 (circa 2012) will look like.

Best powerleveling guide

Posted in Warcraft on October 9th, 2007

A lot of people are asking what’s the best way to powerlevel their alts. WoW Glider and other WoW bots aside, the legit way to go about it is a combination of three things:

1) questing - getting the right quests (a quest guide comes handy here)
2) grinding - killing mobs that are relatively easy (it could mean finding cloth wearers or twinking your gear)
3) getting a friend - a high-level char that will kill whatever you tap; it makes you go through mobs quickly

There’s a free WoW guide out that’s relatively comprehensive: Jame’s Guide. I’ve linked the Alliance powerleveling guide but there should be a Horde version as well.

Pandemic win 3:0

Posted in Warcraft on September 29th, 2007

wow arena scoreTeam Pandemic won 3:0 against Fnatic. They went through 63 Chinese teams, 1 European team and 1 US team to claim the title WSVG World of Warcraft Champions.

Going back to their press release from a month ago, the team has progressed really well.

Mark Dolven, President of TeamPandemic LLC, had this to say: “I am very excited to see the Team Pandemic brand expanded in to the World of Warcraft universe. The group of guys that we have been able to recruit are the best in the business. We cannot wait to see what they accomplish for themselves as part of our teams. We will provide them with every tool they need to become the best World of Warcraft team in the world. The sky is the limit for these guys.”

Man, I hope he doesn’t mean they’ve been using Chinese farmers and bots to hone their skills!

Anyway, if you want to know what team Pandemic’s gear is, look no further. Here’s Power Trip’s gear.

WoW Credit

Posted in Warcraft on September 19th, 2007

If you think Blizzard are not creative when it comes to printing money, think again. (This is not how you can get WoW gold on credit!)

Look at this Visa - it has a WoW hunter on it’s cover!

WoW Credit card

The big deal about the card is that if you use it, you get an amazing 1% back as game credit - i.e. spend $1,500 and get 1 month free.

It looks stupid now but wait till they figure you can personalize with your hunter in full Tier 6 gear. Then it will be something I’d consider!

WoW bot: Glider

Posted in Warcraft on September 9th, 2007

The guys at the Markee Dragon are doing a review of a wow bot, the WoW Glider.

Be warned, however, use of bots violates the T&C which means Blizzard can (and will) ban accounts where botting is detected.

I’m not saying I enjoy pharming gold but frankly, I don’t mind doing it once in a while. If the glider could get me Gronstalker’s Armor, maybe I’ll think about it!

Skyshatter Harness

Skyshatter HarnessMy alt is a Shaman so I was checking out the shaman tier 6 armor - Skyshatter Harness.

All I can say is it’s a LOT more flexible. Hunter only have one option while shaman have three!

Make sure you scroll all the way, it’s a pretty long image.

LOTRO - a threat to WoW?

Posted in Warcraft on August 6th, 2007

LOTRO dwarfLord of the Rings Online (a.k.a. LOTRO) officially launched yesterday. I downloaded the public beta from Gamespot but never got around to testing it.

Now I wonder if LOTRO is any better than WoW. Reading some of the comments at Gamespot, it seems there are two kind of opinions… I’ll highlight them here:

Type 1: This game is a total rip off on wow and is the worst game I played in years. I don’t recommend it to anyone…

This is not an MMORPG.. MORE like an RPG with a chat engine built in!

Type 2: Only loyal WoW fans will rate this game an idiotic rating of 1-5. Think logically here as a gamer and you will see more! One thing for a fact that will separate this game away from wow, is the limited PVP (only included in Monster Play). You are allowed to duel of course however the game isn’t focused around pvp. It is definitely geared towards the RolePlaying and Player vs Environment communities…

What’s your take, has anyone got to level 10 (or whatever LOTRO equivalent is)?
