News From The Front

by

Things have been fairly quiet today, albeit with some venom over on the forums. Apparently, some realms were unexpectedly down yesterday for a number of hours. On top of that these realms also have to go through the usual scheduled maintenance today! Neither of these events would’ve affected me since I work through the day, but I can empathize with those players who work different hours and get stuck with maintenance when they are free. When I worked a 4 day work week (10 hour days) I would sometimes have Tuesdays off, and I hated not being able to roll out of bed, put on coffee, and relax for a bit with some WoW.

In other news, I also came across a fairly humorous comic, Noobz Online. You can read that right here.

World of Raids has reported that the new season 4 shoulders will now require a rating of 2200, as per the image below:

WHA!?

That pretty much puts them out of reach for me. I started with no resilience at all, and so have been getting blasted for quite awhile in the arena, but have slowly gained a solid setup through battlegrounds and the trickling arena points. Whilst I’m sure I could maybe get up to 17-1800, I doubt I’ll ever hit the 2200 mark. I’d be curious to see what Blizzard’s line of thinking was when making this change…if it is in does end up going live anyway. Seems rather excessive to limit the gear to the very tippy top tier. But maybe that’s just one of the trappings of success, eh?
