A Blue Word On Escape Artist And Resurrection Timers

CM’s Slorkuz (EU) and Drsyc (US) have taken some time to share some wisdom about the Gnome racial Escape Artist and Resurrection timers, respectively.
Escape Artist

Escape artist works against movement impairing effects such as snares or roots, not stuns/fears/incapacitates or other forms of CC. This includes, but is not limited to, abilities such as hamstring, […]

AV To Have “Join As Party” Option IN 2.4

I wrote a piece earlier about why it doesn’t make sense that the Alterac Valley battleground doesn’t have a “join as group” option. After several rants all over the place, Blizzard is finally giving it to us.
The latest patch notes already indicates that there will be a join as party option for queuing up for […]

PvE Tokens For PvP/Arena Gear

According to World of Raids, Patch 2.4 will allow us to trade in the various PvE tokens for PvP/Arena gear. Perhaps this is to make things easier for those people who raid more often than they do any pvp activity but still want to gear up. The following is how the trade-ins will be like.

Plate Gear My Butt!

I’ve seen several jokes in the past about how the upgrade from Mail to Plate for female warriors and paladins tends to be more revealing rather than more covered up. Plate offers more armor than Mail so it gives more protection. But they also tend to show more skin.
I decided to share a screen shot […]

Rants About AV’s No “Join As Group” Option

It’s the Alterac Valley holiday weekend again now so that’s what preoccupied a lot of my guild’s playing activity. Like most guilds, we like to do things together so the officers called out for more people who would want to join in the guild fun. Despite a lot of losses, we still had fun fighting […]

Harsher Penalties Implemented For AFK Players In Battlegrounds

Just the other day, Blizzard announced that they have implemented a hotfix that reduced the minimum number of times required for a player to be reported as AFK before he/she doesn’t get the honor and marks from the game. Apparently, they felt that’s not enough a penalty! CM Bornakk just announced some harsher penalties effective […]

Battlegrounds AFK Reporting Hotfix Implemented

CM Bornakk posted this announcement in the official forums about AFK reporting in Battlegrounds.
To help improve the quality of play in Battlegrounds we have applied a Hotfix that significantly reduces the number of AFK reports needed to mark a player as inactive and prevent them from gaining Battleground Marks and Honor Points.
For information on how […]

Arena PvP Can Be Expensive!

Arena PvP has become very popular ever since TBC came out and season 1 started partly because it’s a different kind of PvP than what you find in the Battlegrounds. But one of the reasons I like it (and I’m sure many others too) is the fact that the rewards you trade your arena points […]

Jeff Kaplan Talks About WoTLK PvP And More

PC Zone had the honor to talk to Blizzard’s lead designer Jeff Kaplan (Tigole). From what was released in the internet, it looks like the additional information about WoTLK is very exciting. Unfortunately you’ll have to buy the magazine to get the rest of the information at the moment or wait until it’s leaked out […]

Reflections On “New Alterac Valley”

Patch 2.3 has been about for a few days now and with it came yet another evolution of the Alterac Valley battleground. Such an evolution deserves another commentary.
I was spending my playing time today in Alterac Valley trying to complete the PvP BG Daily. In the process, I took the effort to log in several […]
