Spooncraft

You are browsing the archives of 2008 May.

I really enjoy these player stories. We all have our own memories in this game. Things that maybe you reminisce about with friends or guildmates. A lot of people play this game only for the social aspect it brings, granted that’s a major part of why I play, and I don’t see how anybody can [...]

Nothing particularly fancy this morning on Spooncraft aside from comics and some misc. news bullets, but I did see this yesterday and just didn’t get a chance to post it up.

Alrighty folks we got Rat Kiting in Teh Gladiators and easy noob leveling for Alliance in Ding! enjoy.
 

Yeah it’s annoying, commentary has to be broken down into another post or else the embed goes crazy. Anyway so this here is a little bit of drama. I don’t know anybody in the guild VANQUISH at all but it seems they got some negative press when one of their members, a warrior named Serennia [...]

Howdy folks, as usual it’s another Friday although this week has been short due to the holiday earlier. News has been slow which also is normal. See this is the normal flow of things as one chapter in the game comes to a close and we have this weird lul period inbetween expansions.
Wrath of the [...]

Last Resort just killed Kil’jaeden, and the world’s first - Thori’dal, the Stars’ Fury. Congratulations to Stefang for his new bow, and of course Last Resort for their kill.
This is a bit of a milestone world first as the very first obvious Hunter loot, the first Legendary bow Hunters have been asking for since forever [...]

Alright this is going to be a big post. People are pretty vocal about their thoughts on the Death Knight class. I am pretty much jumping for joy at this prospect but am holding my tongue at first until we get a little further down the Beta road and get some more security as to [...]

The frustration is still building. With good reason I might add. Let’s look at the latest skirmish with this play by play.
Forum Troll: Stop milking the cow Blizzard! Give us a date, or to hell with you!
Nethaera: It’s never nice to curse people. Information will be given at the appropriate time, not before. Yes, [...]

Myself, my wife, and a few friends rerolled on a Horde server a few weeks back. Most of us had a Horde character above level 30 me being the only 70 but it’s been nice to take a more relaxed approach and be back amongst mah peoples. Watching them all level through some of the [...]

I have to admit it’s pretty impressive for fan art. Somebody took a lot of time to put this together, apparently a dwarf hunter.

People are (with good reason) wanting some more details pronto on the redone Naxxramus. A lot of us (I did a little bit) got to experience Naxxramus before Burning Crusade and even some that have for the first time at Lv. 70 just to see it. For a long time (I’d say even now) players [...]

I’m sorry but this crap is just funny. I’ve deleted items in the past that through clever use of game mechanics I could be using right now to do some pretty silly things. The Carrot on a Stick though is far from eternally useful when you have things like Riding Crops and the Skybreaker Whip.
[...]

SK Gaming just released the footage from their world first Kil’Jaeden kill, the last boss of The Burning Crusade expansion pack. It was recorded as WMV in 1680×1050 resolution and Ventrilo is included at the end. They call this fight “all about absolute perfection in terms of execution,” and “definitely the hardest boss ever made [...]

Soul Flay now targets the player with the highest threat against Kil’jaeden, regardless of the distance between the player and Kil’jaeden. Which I guess means something to people hitting KJ because I honestly don’t know what any of this means lol.
We’ve just deployed a hotfix to all regions that changes the targeting behavior of [...]

This is coming straight from the folks over at Adobe and the World of Warcraft main website.
A recent vulnerability has been discovered in popular web-content delivery program Adobe Flash, and it could potentially be used to target World of Warcraft players and accounts. The newest available version of Adobe Flash, version 9.0.124.0, does not contain [...]

Scott Kurtz has updated his World of Warcraft comic series again.

Gotfrag posted an interview with Kalgan mostly focused on Arena. Here are some highlights.
The idea of “eSports” has been a big part of Blizzard’s corporate strategy, what impact do you think eSports has on the success from a business side for Blizzard and other game developers? We understand that Blizzard has established a dedicated eSports [...]

This comes straight from MMOC. 
It seems $22,500 isn’t all the top teams will be earning as Major League Gaming, parent company of MMO-Champion.com, will be upping their first place prize with three Blackbird Gaming PC’s valued at $9,000. This comes on the heels of a few recent changes to the event including the opening of [...]

We’ve been discussing this a lot. The PVP aspect of the game is a big lure for me but more than that I enjoy this universe and the lore as well as the raids and dungeons. It’s just appealing to me. With that said right now we’re engrossed in some major discussions about the raiding [...]

There are some regional restrictions to the contests (tournaments etc) in the WWI08 this year. I really don’t see what all the pissing and moaning is about, we get Blizzcon (on the freaking west coast but whatever, still going hah!) and we also have a new contest or tournament popping up every freaking week. This [...]

I understand and I guess agree with Blizzard in that they don’t have any plans (means no) to add a 3rd primary profession slot into the game. As it stands now you can take two professions and then you’re done. Yeah you can have first aid and cooking and fishing but those are secondary professions. [...]

The official World of Warcraft site has been updated with a new fan created wallpaper inspired by Kil’jaeden. You might recognize this scene as being the one in Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne when Illidan is confronted by Kil’jaden.

Tauren rogues lol. Slorkuz was brave enough to go in depth with his look at Warlocks in the arena. So he’s hitting Rogues now. I happen to like rogues a lot (though never taken one past 40) so I found this little write up pretty useful. He goes into the different combos for a Rogue [...]

Good job Sniper you’re getting better. This episode is pretty much about the Warlock demons you can summon as our resident lord of darkness reviews each one. My favorite is the Felhunter (because it’s a demonic wolf dog hentai monster) and obviously the succubus because I’m a big smarmy perv.
Either way you should head on [...]

Mind you for the sake of accuracy in describing Jack Thompson I will be using adult language. SO! For fancy free reading, check under the cut.

Well that about does it folks. All the new content has been conquered for the most part and we got the World 1st and now the US first.

Congratulations go out to Deus Vox from US-Laughing Skull on their kill. Here is their raid lineup followed by their drops. Funny thatwith Illidan we got a bunch [...]

This is my 3rd post on the subject and I want to correct some mistakes. Well they’re not really mistakes as they were 100% true based on what Blizzard posted at the time. So if they have not been keeping the continuity of their press releases intact from update to update, it’s not my problem. [...]
