Ghostcrawler’s trying to stem the bleeding as it were with PVP arguments. In all honesty the way the game sits right now the amount of damage pumped out by certain classes is really noticeably massive. I think I have all of 500 resilience in my PVP gear at most (which is poor) and that’s not [...]

PvP Gear - Resilience and Armor Penetration on Cloth
We changed the way we itemized PvP gear between seasons 4 and 5. The largest change is that resilience uses up much more of an item’s budget, where previously it was almost bonus. We also stopped adding bonus armor (extra armor beyond what a cloth, leather, mail [...]

Arena season 5 is currently scheduled to begin on December 17th, and once that happens players who have reached level 80 will be able to compete in rated arena matches where they can gain arena points which can be used to purchase level 80 arena gear, as well as compete for end-of-season rewards. Players who [...]

I think you guys pushed the developers to the edge and back with the Hunter QQ. The text is pretty much identical between hunter and warlock forums with this issue, so for now here’s just the hunter side.

Because it is so difficult to get intelligent discussion on this topic, I am creating this new [...]

You saw some of this information already as I posted it a while back during the Beta and again while I was at Blizzcon this year through my youtube videos. Here’s Blizzard’s official update on the World of Warcraft Community site.
The Ring of Valor
In the Horde capital of Orgrimmar, proving one’s worth through the crucible [...]

With Patch 3.0.2 coming out today (long maintenance) it’s officially the end of Arena Season 4. So what do arena players have to look forward to then with the new class changes and such besides extremely manic skirmishes where you have to relearn your class and different comps?
Why, two new arenas of course!
Orgrimmar Arena
The Orgrimmar [...]

Keeping in step with the PVP news this morning, Tigole spoke out about Battlegrounds (my favorite aspect of PVP) and some of the plans on the table for them in the future. I’m especially liking the idea that you might be able to queue from anywhere in the world as in other games, and that [...]

It’s a little early in the morning and I went to sleep late as hell last night. Been gearing up in a mighty powerful way for Blizzcon and getting the site prepared behind the scene for everything you’ll need. Expect these updates to roll through today.
But to get to the purpose of this post, Kalgan [...]

Eyonix posted earlier letting us know what the plan is for the Arena when patch 3.0.2 comes out. Basically the game is being dramatically changed when this patch goes live. Players are going to be thrown into complete chaos as they have to relearn their class. Obviously this isn’t fair for the last few weeks [...]

Icecrown
It’s partially implemented. Work is still ongoing but we felt like it was stable enough to at least get some feedback.
Because it is not completely finished, you’ll want to adventure there at your own risk. Quests will have some bugs or be unfinished and it’s likely that creatures are either under-tuned or over-tuned. Also, rewards [...]

Brutal Gladiators of the future weep. I on the other hand just kind of sit here and ponder life’s mysteries. LOL ok so now the hardcore OMFG I am AWESOME AT ARENAS! people can officially bitch and moan about PVE ruining the game… seriously you know some dumbass is going to rant about this at [...]
