The end of beta, BlizzCon predictions, and the Warlords strategy guide

18 Comments
Well, the beta is finally shut down after almost exactly 5 months of testing (including the alpha). I first got in on June 17th, and at the time the alpha was still limited to Horde characters in the Frostfire Ridge zone only (up to level 92). This was a couple of weeks after the alpha … Continue Reading ››

Final beta video: B-roll footage of hunter pets at 60fps!

8 Comments
If you didn't know, YouTube recently introduced support for 60fps videos. You obviously need to upload the video in 60fps for this to work, and YouTube also seems very picky with the encode settings, but once it works it's pretty cool! It only works in the Google Chrome browser (or IE11 if you enable … Continue Reading ››

More number tuning for hunters, and it seems pretty reasonable

13 Comments
Blizzard just posted some new class tuning hotfixes which should go live soon. Even though most of this is nerfs, I have to say these are reasonable changes based on where we stood after the last round of buffs we received. Combined with the changes to other classes, we were doing quite well at level … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Druids in Travel Form

17 Comments
Blizzard finally gave into our demands and made druids tameable. The catch is you can only tame them in their travel form. So if you were hoping for a kitty or bear druid, you're out of luck (for now). A druid in travel form is part of the Stag family once tamed and brings the versatility … Continue Reading ››

Pet of the Week: Spirit of Atha

10 Comments
Hail Hydra! That seems to be the hunter mantra of the week. Everywhere I go, I see hunters sporting their newly tamed hydras. Arguably one of the coolest is Spirit of Atha, the ghost hydra. This isn't the first time I've tamed this elusive beast. I was one of those who tamed … Continue Reading ››

Celestalon: “Hunters are just at the top of our list right now”

27 Comments
Good news! And no, my awesome matching talbuk mount and pet combos have nothing to do with it. We've been complaining about our numbers for a while, but most of our evidence was based on simulations, which the devs were quick to dismiss. Now that we have actual logs to back it up, it's becoming clear that … Continue Reading ››
