The Beta Tank Bug

I did a post a while back on why beta testing matters. The point was, no matter how we might wish that the game could be finished and rushed out, you have to test this stuff in a controlled environment first. And this particular bug is a perfect example of why that is. Because on the beta servers, tank specs were unkillable gods. The post is as follows:




“We discovered a teeny tiny little issue with the Battle Fatigue debuff. Turns out, it was set to increase tank damage taken by -25%. Yes, that's an increase of negative 25%... which means that Battle Fatigue was actually reducing the damage tank-specced characters were taking.
This should now be fixed on Beta servers, which should make quite a difference. Let us know how things feel now.”

That kind of error is exactly why the beta process is necessary and important, but moreover it's why it's kind of awesome - you see, stuff like this is terrible for game balance, but it's also astonishingly fun to discover and experience a few times. Yes, as a tester you should absolutely report it as soon as possible. But in order to report it reliably (it's hard to know for sure what's actually happening, after all, your combat log doesn't report that you're taking less damage) you need to repeat it. And that's really pretty awesome.

It's better -- far better, in fact -- that we get this stuff found out before it goes live. Even though I'm sure all of us with a tank spec kind of secretly wish it didn't. The feeling of being overpowered wouldn't keep us from the crushing disappointment when they found and fixed it. It is a wise idea to buy WoW items from this site.

Shadowmoon Valley WoD Beta Preview

Burning Crusade, but the look and feel of the new Shadowmoon Valley is totally different and I couldn’t find anything old.



Similar to Frostfire Ridge, the Horde starting area, here in Shadowmoon Alliance players will be able to build their Garrison.

The are a is filled with draenei and iron horde architecture and compared to the old Shadowmoon Valley this time the area has green and violet flora. From what I could see this is one if the best looking area in Draenor. The corrupted parts of the area, and the ones where iron horde placed their camps and fortifications are the only parts that change this whole serene and peaceful looking area.

There are also a few cut-scenes which are not available yet and maybe the entire area will be affected even more in the future by the iron horde.

By the way, we guess you should never miss the WoW items sale at our site.

Heart of the Valorous Buff This Weekend

Heart of the Valorous returns yet again. The buff will be active starting Friday, July 11 at 9:00 a.m. PDT, through Monday, July 14 at 9:00 a.m. PDT. Heart of the Valorous increases all Valor Point gains by 100%.



We're curious if these buffs will become a weekly occurrence until the release of Warlords of Draenor. While a Valor buff is certainly nice to have, it loses its luster with each repetition. If the intent of the buff is to keep people playing until Warlords, something more compelling will need to come along sooner or later.
At this site, we offer you a wide selection of WoW items at reasonable prices.

Warlords of Draenor Beta: Exotic Munitions Preview

Here is closer look at the newest of the level 100 hunter talents in Warlords of Draenor, Exotic Munitions. This is a passive talent that modifies your Auto Shots in 3 different ways. Only one of these munition types can be active at a time.

•Incendiary Ammo - Arms your ranged weapon with exotic ammunition that lasts for 1 hour. Each autoshot deals 20% additional weapon damage as Fire to all enemies within 8 yards of the initial target.

•To be used primarily in AoE raid encounters, dungeons, or just farming large numbers of mobs out in the world.

•Poisoned Ammo - Arms your ranged weapon with exotic ammunition that lasts for 1 hour. Each autoshot deals (200% of Attack power) additional Nature damage over 16 sec. When this effect is refreshed, the remaining damage will be added to the new effect.

•To be used primarily for extended single-target fights.

•Frozen Ammo - Arms your ranged weapon with exotic ammunition that lasts for 1 hour. Each autoshot deals 40% additional weapon damage as Frost and reduces the target’s movement speed by 50% for 8 sec.

•To be used primarily for PvP, or for when you’re fighting one target at a time that won’t live long enough to fully benefit from Poisoned Ammo. If we had this talent today, I’d probably be using it to aid in my 2 or 3-shotting of Gulp Frogs.
Please continue to address such kind of information at our site if you are interested, because we will update the similar news in coming days.  By the way, you can also find a wide range of WoW items here.

Remember The Dark Below? It’s Alive

Remember The Dark Below? The speculation and the agony? The short-lived controversy? Even after it was revealed to be a hoax, there were still a few who insisted that The Dark Below really was a thing. In a nutshell, they were right. The Dark Below really truly is an expansion.

Just not for WoW.



You may have heard of Destiny, the much-anticipated upcoming MMO from Bungie -- the studio famous for its creation of the Halo franchise. It's to Bungie that The Dark Below belongs, and it's the title of Destiny's first expansion. You see, those interested players who purchase one of the two Destiny collector's edition releases: Destiny: Ghost Edition or Destiny: Limited Edition will get special access to the Destiny Expansion Pass, which includes Expansion 1: The Dark Below, and Expansion 2: House of Wolves.

So there you have it, everyone. The Dark Below is alive and well, albeit in an altogether different virtual universe, owned and developed by a different studio in a different state. Thus ends forever the mystery of The Dark Below. May it rest in peace, and live up to its Destiny. Why not choose WoW items from this best site?
