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 [...]

Wrath of the Lich King - Northrend BG Preview from el'anon on Vimeo.

I don’t know about you all but I am actually pretty pissed at the way the current system works for BG queues. Maybe I’m just being nostalgic but I really miss the days before cross server battlegrounds. There were guilds devoted to PVP. You had a sort of fame throughout your server. There was actual [...]

This video really made me laugh because it brought back some memories. Back in classic WoW me and my buddies used to get together every other week and throw a little LAN party at somebody’s house. Usually meant heavy drinking, modded out Unreal Tournament, and then Starcraft or WoW group PVP. Some of the most [...]

I agree with Blizzard, although 2 minutes can be FOREVER in a combat situation. Ever play Planetside? There’s about 40 people spawning at the same time every few seconds and a few people in some heavy arms can pretty much own the battle until you get pissed and logoff. We have to wait to rez [...]

This is a GREAT set right here. Anybody that cares enough about PVP to be remotely competitive should follow this ongoing series closely. This installment is all about the restoration spec druid (which is pretty freaking common and strong in most arenas and battle grounds)
It goes into explicit detail on all of a druid’s tricks [...]

For some reason when I decide to PVP in the morning before work, I always end up getting 7 wins in a row regardless of which BG I join. This morning’s helping was Arathi Basin. Yet later in the day (most notably when school is out) the odds are completely 50/50 a win or loss. [...]

These are both great ideas; some actual motivation for engaging in world PVP aside from a small zone buff or some easily replaceable items. It’s a great idea and leads to MANY different scenarios when you can have a buff for your entire faction across all of Northrend. As well if the idea holds true [...]

Finally some more detail on the biggest part of the expansion (from a gameplay POV) that I am looking forward to. Lake Wintergrasp.

The new vehicle technology, which introduces physics and handling characteristics - including inertia, turning circle, grip and suspension bounce - to land and airborne vehicles and special mounts. (Eurogamer.net)
It also allows for up [...]

There’s a pretty big argument going on that the face of PVP has been changed forever and I agree. I posted about it much earlier but here are some more details reitterated for the sake of anybody who might have missed it. I like my PVP, I like world PVP and fighting in the battlegrounds. [...]

Just a quickie update. People need to be patient, don’t sit on honor for months at a time when you could be getting upgrades today
We will provide information a couple weeks in advance when Season 4 is near starting. Right now there is no information regarding this as it is still a ways [...]

Last night there were some rolling restarts for many realms, I breifly touched on this during the day but apparently things got worse as the night progressed. I wasn’t on an affected server and so can’t speak from personal experience but I have been doing some snooping and the issue has been resolved.
Instead of realm [...]

People are having some major crap-tastic lag in the BGs. This blows, I really miss my PVP. Either way Blizzard’s aware.
We are aware of the high latency being experienced in some battlegroups and we’re in the process of attempting to find a resolution as quickly as possible. We will continue to track this issue [...]
