The stuff involving Shield of Righteousness doesn't bug me, since the added threat was removed back in 3.0...although it did give me a heart attack upon first seeing it. No babies will be eaten...yet. Val'anyr = the new Atiesh. Although it's called a gavel (generally associated with healing in WoW, based on the old BC healing items), I'm hoping multiple variations exist for people looking for a new tanky/DPS weapon. Kinda like how Atiesh had multiple forms for each class. Sanctuary pretty much became useless to all other tanky types. I hope they give Engineers more than what's listed...I mean, it's a flashlight.

These new Achievements earn my love: http://www.flawless-stormrage.eu/naraxi/Wo...2409_125502.jpg More stuff from the new Argent Crusade tournament thingy: http://www.flawless-stormrage.eu/naraxi/Wo...2409_125506.jpg My god, those prices! New Kirin'tor rings, which require 1000g AND the old super-expensive ring. http://www.flawless-stormrage.eu/naraxi/Wo...2409_131111.jpg Noblegarden/Easter achievements are plentiful. the holiday now lasts an entire week too: http://ryannktsu.armadaweb.com/PTR/noblegarden1.jpg http://ryannktsu.armadaweb.com/PTR/noblegarden2.jpg http://ryannktsu.armadaweb.com/PTR/noblecalendar.jpg A tooltip for the new Val'anyr mace fragment: http://i42.tinypic.com/2wcfs55.jpg The Darkmoon Faire will soon get some Achievement love. There's nothing there yet though. http://ryannktsu.armadaweb.com/PTR/darkmoon.jpg LFG Tool got a facelift also, but this is from a German Client: http://bayimg.com/image/janblaabm.jpg - Role-filling buttons. Although with the new dual-spec stuff, why not just click all three? http://bayimg.com/image/janbnaabm.jpg - New icons for what you are looking for, ex: tank, healer, and/or DPS. Very cool. As if the game needed to be more Stupid-Proof, here's what color-blind mode does. It (literally) shows you an item's quality. Although if your vision is that bad, why are you even playing WoW to begin with? http://worldofwarcraft.judgehype.com/scree...0/divers/01.jpg Instance dungeon maps. Will Atlas go the way of the do-do bird also? http://www.worldofraids.com/gallery/showim...i=4418&c=15 Datamined Achievements. http://a.wirebrain.de/wow/wotlk/ach/9614?diff=1 Insane in the Membrane: Raise your reputation with the areas listed below.Title Reward: The Insane -Honored with Bloodsail Buccaneers -Exalted with Booty Bay -Exalted with Everlook -Exalted with Gadgetzan -Exalted with Ratchet -Exalted with Darkmoon Faire -Exalted with Ravenholdt -Exalted with Shen'dralar Dreadsteed of Xoroth: Completed the Dreadsteed of Xoroth warlock quest. Charger Completed the paladin quest to obtain a Charger. -Judgment and Redemption -True Masters of the Light Swift Flight Form: Completed the druid quest to obtain Swift Flight Form. My god, I want that title. EDIT as of 2/25/09: Dual Specs just got sexy on itself: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.h...=1&pageNo=1 * Level requirement has been lowered to 40. You still gotta pay the 1000g fee. * Reagent requirement (Lexicon of Power) has been removed. No more pocket Inscription buddy. * Cooldown has been removed, though you cannot swap specs in combat, or in Arenas/Battlegrounds. 1000g doesn't seem like TOO much of a stretch at L40 for gatherers, unless you're on a new realm or a brand new player. Very nice changes that I can only hope will remain on live. Edited February 25, 2009 by Holyssa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyssa Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=42702.0 Yay. New PTR build. Lotta class changes & a crazy Parry enchant. While I don't normally say much following a PTR phase, this made me smirk: Brew of the Year is no longer required for the Brewmaster meta-achievement. Wonder what they spiked peoples' tears with to finally push this change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holyssa Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Achievements for Ulduar are on PTR...posting for both epic lols (can you spot the references?), and to give you guys a heads up on what to expect. Fair warning: some of these ARE placeholders, and may not make it into a later build. My own comments in bold: * The Siege of Ulduar (Defeat the bosses of The Siege area of Ulduar on Normal Difficulty.) * The Antechamber of Ulduar (Defeat the bosses of The Antechamber area of Ulduar on Normal Difficulty.) * The Keepers of Ulduar (Defeat the Keeper bosses of Ulduar on Normal Difficulty.) * The Descent into Madness (Defeat the bosses of The Descent into Madness area of Ulduar on Normal Difficulty.) * The Secrets of Ulduar (Defeat every boss in Ulduar on Normal Difficulty.) * Unbroken (Defeat Flame Leviathan on the first try without anyone repairing their vehicle on Normal Difficulty.) * Three Car Garage (Defeat Flame Leviathan while in each of the following vehicles on Normal Difficulty.) * Take Out Those Turrets (Destroy a Flame Leviathan Defense Turret on Normal Difficulty.) * Shutout (Defeat Flame Leviathan without causing a System Shutdown on Normal Difficulty.) * Orbital Bombardment (Defeat Flame Leviathan with 1 Orbital Defense System active on Normal Difficulty.) * Orbital Devastation (Defeat Flame Leviathan with 2 Orbital Defense Systems active on Normal Difficulty.) * Nuked from Orbit (Defeat Flame Leviathan with 3 Orbital Defense Systems active on Normal Difficulty.) * Orbit-uary (Defeat Flame Leviathan with 4 Orbital Defense Systems active on Normal Difficulty.) * A Quick Shave (Defeat Razorscale without allowing her to fly into the air more than once on Normal Difficulty.) * Minimal Casualties (Defeat Razorscale without any friendly NPCs dying during the fight on Normal Difficulty.) * Iron Dwarf, Medium Rare (Defeat 1000 Iron Dwarves with Razorscale's Flame Breath within 2 seconds on Normal Difficulty.) * Shattered (Defeat Ignis the Furnace Master while shattering 77 Iron Constructs within 5 seconds on Normal Difficulty.) * Hot Pocket (Survive being thrown into Ignis the Furnace Master's crucible on Normal Difficulty.) * Stokin' the Furnace (Defeat Ignis the Furnace Master in 2 seconds on Normal Difficulty.) UNPOSSIBLE! Oh, obvious placeholder is obvious. Unless your highest DPSer happens to be Chuck Norris. * Nerf Engineering (Defeat XT-002 Deconstructor without him recovering any health from XS-013 Scrapbots on Normal Difficulty.) I thought it was already nerfed? * Nerf Scrapbots (Defeat 1000 XS-013 Scrapbots within 12 seconds using XE-321 Boombots on Normal Difficulty.) * Nerf Dark Bombs (Defeat XT-002 Deconstructor without any raid member dying from a Dark Bomb on Normal Difficulty.) * Must Deconstruct Faster (Defeat XT-002 Deconstructor in 20.5 seconds on Normal Difficulty.) * Heartbreaker (Defeat XT-002 Deconstructor after destroying his heart on Normal Difficulty.) * I Choose You, Runemaster Molgeim (Defeat the Iron Council with Runemaster Molgeim as the last member alive on Normal Difficulty.) I hear they like Mudkips too. * I Choose You, Stormcaller Brundir (Defeat the Iron Council with Stormcaller Brundir as the last member alive on Normal Difficulty.) * I Choose You, Steelbreaker (Defeat the Iron Council with Steelbreaker as the last member alive on Normal Difficulty.) * But I'm on Your Side (Defeat the Iron Council while under the effect of a Steel Boot Flask on Normal Difficulty.) * Can't Do That While Stunned (Defeat the Iron Council without allowing Stormcaller Brundir to cast Chain Lightning or Lightning Whirl on Normal Difficulty.) * Overload Overlord (Defeat the Iron Council without any raid member being struck by Overload on Normal Difficulty.) * With Open Arms (Defeat Kologarn without destroying either of his arms on Normal Difficulty.) * Disarmed (Destroy both of Kologarn's arms within 12 seconds and then defeat Kologarn on Normal Difficulty.) This guy must have a case of limp wrist if this only takes 12 seconds. * If Looks Could Kill (Defeat Kologarn without any raid member being hit by Focused Eye Beams on Normal Difficulty.) * Rubble and Roll (Defeat Kologarn with 6000 Rubble creatures alive on Normal Difficulty.) 6000?? Here's hoping you saved money for RAM or a new video card. * Cheese the Freeze (Defeat Hodir without any raid member being hit by Flash Freeze on Normal Difficulty.) Freeze the Cheese! This made me giggle. * I Have the Coolest Friends (Defeat Hodir without any friendly NPC dying on Normal Difficulty.) * Getting Cold in Here (Defeat Hodir without any raid member having more than 3 stacks of Biting Cold on Normal Difficulty.) * Staying Buffed All Winter (Possess the effects of Toasty Fire, Storm Power and Starlight at the same time on Normal Difficulty.) * Don't Stand in the Lightning (Defeat Thorim without being affected by Lightning Charge on Normal Difficulty.) * I'll Take You All On (Defeat Thorim, the Ancient Rune Giant and the Rune Colossus on Normal Difficulty.) * Who Needs Bloodlust?

Something tells me Blizzard has a shaman vendetta... * Siffed (Force Thorim to enter the arena and defeat him while Sif is present on Normal Difficulty.) * Lumberjacked (Defeat Elder Brightleaf, Elder Ironbranch and Elder Stonebark within 2 seconds of each other on Normal Difficulty.) * Con-speed-atory (Defeat Freya within 2 minutes of engaging a creature in the Conservatory of Life on Normal Difficulty.) * Deforestation (Defeat 2 Ancient Water Spirits, 2 Storm Lashers and 2 Snaplashers within 120 seconds on Normal Difficulty.) * Getting Back to Nature (Defeat Freya while she is affected by Attuned to Nature on Normal Difficulty.) * Mind the Mines (Defeat Mimiron without anyone in the raid triggering a Proximity Mine on Normal Difficulty.) * Strike Out (Defeat Mimiron without anyone in the raid being hit by a Rocket Strike on Normal Difficulty.) * A-bomb-inable (Defeat Mimiron without anyone in the raid being hit by a Bomb Bot on Normal Difficulty.) * Set Up Us the Bomb (Complete the following Mimiron achievements on Normal Difficulty.) All your base are belong to Mimiron! * I'll Form the Head! (Force Mimiron to combine the parts of his greatest creation within 20 minutes on Normal Difficulty.) What? No Blazing Sword pun? You fail, Blizzard. * Shadowdodger (Defeat General Vezax without any raid member being hit by Shadow Crash on Normal Difficulty.) * I Love the Smell of Saronite in the Morning (Defeat General Vezax without being affected by Saronite Vapors on Normal Difficulty.) * Never Stand Near the Faceless Dude (Defeat General Vezax without allowing him to regain health from Mark of the Faceless on Normal Difficulty.) * Crazy Cat Lady (Defeat Auriaya while doing something cool on Normal Difficulty.) Something....cool? I don't even want to know. * Supermassive (Defeat Algalon the Observer while destroying 4 Black Holes within 10 seconds on Normal Difficulty.) * Observed (Defeat Algalon the Observer on Normal Difficulty.) * He Feeds On Your Tears (Defeat Algalon the Observer without any raid member dying on Normal Difficulty.) I've been waiting for a name like this! * She's Not Bad for an Old God (/Kiss Sara in Ulduar on Normal Difficulty.) Something tells me this boss got hit by a staff made from the Ugly Tree. * Drive Me Crazy (Defeat Yogg-Saron without any raid member going insane on Normal Difficulty.) * He's Not Getting Any Older (Defeat Yogg-Saron within 22 minutes on Normal Difficulty.) 22 minutes...but Blizz is saying it is supposed to be 120. Just how long is this fight supposed to be?! * They're Coming Out of the Walls (Defeat 200 Guardians of Yogg-Saron within 12 seconds on Normal Difficulty.) Hudson! Talk to me, dammit! * In His House He Waits Dreaming (Experience all 5 visions of Yogg-Saron's mind on Normal Difficulty.) Perhaps this is linked to all those YouTube audio snippets involving Garona, Arthas, Ysera, etc.. * The Undying, Part Two (Within one raid lockout period, defeat every boss in Ulduar on Normal Difficulty without allowing any raid member to die during any of the boss encounters.) Hell, not again! According to Blizzard, this will NOT be part of the Drake meta. Thank god for small favors. If my math is right, that's about 64 Achievements for this dungeon alone. Oh my.

Holyssa Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Another new build is out. Aside from the usual batch of nerfs & buffs... Herald of the Titans *New* - Defeat Algalon the Observer on Normal Difficulty without anyone in the raid wearing any equipment with an item level higher than 226. Title Reward: Herald of the Titans This is a new achievement involving Ulduar's optional boss. One can only hope Blizzard adds more achievements like this: the kind that focus on skill as opposed to out-gearing and backtracking to specific content! And a new reason to save your Dalaran Cooking Tokens: Now all we need is an apron item... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
