Upcoming Changes to Lake Wintergrasp in Wrath of the Lich King Beta

Upcoming Changes to Lake Wintergrasp in Wrath of the Lich King Beta

As I have said before in the past, this zone has the potential to be something really great. Kalgan recently posted a list of changes coming to the zone as they focus their energy on it, trying to make it test ready.
Here’s a quick update on some of the things coming to Wintergrasp over the [...]

Blizzard talks to Gotfrag about World of Warcraft Arena.

Blizzard talks to Gotfrag about World of Warcraft Arena.

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 [...]

Kalgan explains reasoning behind Arena Exploiting.

There’s A LOT to speculate and debate over this. People are going through hell and back to figure out how exploits work in the Arena (win trading, point selling blah blah blah) and Kalgan actually showed up and crits the forums with a huge wall of text kinda getting into the fray. The tread goes [...]

Curse’s interview with Tigole and Kalgan.

A lot of what’s in the interview has already been posted by me earlier today but here are some high points I don’t believe I covered. It’s A LOT of information to process today.

Karazhan showed Blizzard that 10-man raids could work, and were good for more casual players/small guilds; on the other hand, more hardcore [...]

Kalgan doesn’t hate you. I do.

Taken from the Warlock forums.
Q u o t e:
All your whining might have got your nerf reverted, HOWEVER I am sure Kalgan won’t put as much effort designing new ways for Warlocks to escape melee perhaps? Or get his revenge on your personal attacks in WOTLK perhaps?

I think a lot of people here greatly overestimate [...]

Season 4 release, not for a while.

With all the new models and data files showing Season 4 Arena gear, it’s easy to assume that season 4 will begin when Patch 2.4 goes live. Kalgan however, appeared on the forums recently to debunk the thought.

I’ll be slightly more descriptive than Drysc. Not very soon. S3 rewards have quite a bit of life [...]

Drinking nerfed in PvP specifically.

Drinking nerfed in PvP specifically.

I reported a little while ago about the changes to drinking in Patch 2.4 and how the sole reason was to rebalance mana regen in arenas and the likes. It seems Blizzard got the point and dropped the whole charade. Yes it’s intended to stop cheap tactics in arenas, not a game wide nerf to [...]

Kalgan sheds some light in the black dark that are Shaman

Right now it’s an understatement to say that us shaman are pretty much boned. There are a lot of different issues with the class and multiple nerfs at every turn. Essentially there’s just a lot of bad blood between the shaman class as a community and the developers.
But in light of all the chaos and [...]
