Ready for Highmaul

I've been keeping busy enough in game that I almost forgot that World of Warcraft has this thing called raiding. Also, is it just me or does it seem a lot longer than 2.5 weeks since launch? Feels like at least a month for me. At any rate, I am ready to jump into normal … Continue Reading ››

Hunting Party Podcast Episode 205: WoW Turns Ten with BRK

This week we had a very special guest that longtime hunters may remember -- the one and only BigRedKitty! BRK sticks around for the entire show as we talk about WoD, Garrisons, and all kinds of fun huntery stuff. BRK recently published an e-book on Amazon composed of some short stories from his old blog. If … Continue Reading ››

First 5 days of Warlords: Gearing up, garrisons, and hunter stuff

I know it's been a few days since I've posted, but I've got a good excuse with, you know, Warlords coming out and all. I was thankfully immune from most of the launch issues.  I was there at the first minute, and with a group of guildies I managed to get ahead of the main crowd. I … Continue Reading ››

My Garrison Plans: What buildings and why

It seems there is still a lot of confusion about this feature (hey, I'm still a bit confused myself!) so in an effort to help clear things up, I'm going to let you know what my first garrison … Continue Reading ››

WoD Alpha Huntering: Day 1

I've been in betas before, but never in something as early as a F&F alpha. I'm used to betas basically being finished products, minus some balancing or minor issues. This is a lot different from what I'm used to. A good deal of my time is filling in bug reports or crash reports it seems, … Continue Reading ››

New Warlords screenshots show off Garrisons and zones

I pulled these from the PAX East press kit.  I think a couple were featured on the Warcraft twitter, but this is the first time I'm seeing these new Garrison screenshots (maybe I missed them). These look much better than the BlizzCon shots if you ask me. Those early shots seemed pretty barren -- just … Continue Reading ››

Revamping the hunter stable in garrisons

Pets are, without a doubt, the primary reason I play a hunter. I think Blizzard has been pretty good to us over the years, putting a lot of development time and effort into something that serves only a single class. We have 45 pet families and, if you count all the different skins and color … Continue Reading ››
