Reader comments — ahh, yes, the juicy goodness following a meaty post. [1.Local] ducks past the swinging doors to see what readers have been chatting about in the back room over the past week . You know, Archdruid Fandouche Toolhelm Fandral Staghelm sure does ask for a lot of Morrowgrain … So what’s up with that ? Shade : He constructed a World Tree without the blessing of the dragon flights, causing a tree that is warped and corrupted enough that it’s being invaded by harpies, grell and grelkin, and corrupting the furbolgs that are supposed to be living happily on it. A tree that invites the invasion of satyr — and the satyr are referenced in the War of the Ancients trilogy as being products of Sargeras, warping some dude with a god complex. Silithus ? He defended Silithus once, yes — and watched his son ripped apart before his eyes in the process. That broke him. He shattered the Sceptre of the Shifting Sands , the key to opening the Gates of Ahn’Qiraj , when the dragon flights asked him to keep guard over it in the event that the Qiraj returned. He said he was done with the dragon flights and done with protecting the place. His last words upon leaving the scene were as follows: “My son’s soul will find no comfort in this hollow victory, dragon. I will have him back. Though it takes millennia, I will have my son back!” You want to know what he’s doing with the morrowgrain? He’s trying to find a way to use it to bring his son back from the dead. He may have been a “leader” at some point, but after the War of the Shifting Sands , everything — and I mean everything — that man does is somehow related to his son’s death. … well, at least, that’s what I’m putting my money on.

[1.Local]: What’s all that morrowgrain for, anyway?

Found this article when I was searching the internet

Totem Talk is the column for shamans. This installment sees Matthew Rossi contemplating the incoming influx of gear and how current itemization affects shamans. Also, sorry but you get Alliance shamans this week. I can’t wait until I can race change to a dwarf. The thing is this: I hate doing gear lists. My editors (I like to imagine them as an old Marvel Comics cosmic entity like The Living Tribunal) quite rightly point out to me from time to time that with Patch 3.3 so close, we’re effectively at the end of Wrath of the Lich King and therefore all sorts of new loot will be entering the game. Loot from the new five mans at Ulduar 10/25 quality! Loot from the new raid exceeding all previous iLevels! We’ll be awash in the best gear we’ll ever see until Cataclysm drops and we start it all over again. And of course they’re right. It helps me to accept this if I imagine that cosmic entity spinning a giant head around with different faces on it like Reliquary of Souls . (No, sorry, we didn’t call it Reliquary of Souls all those weeks just to be corrected by Blizzard. Heck, you guys even brought it back in Icecrown.) The next couple of weeks, however, I’m going to look not at gear but at itemization itself and how it interacts with shamans. I was inspired by the change to Elemental Mastery , the talent in the elemental combat tree that currently grants 15% crit when activated as well as making your next spell instant cast. On the surface, this doesn’t look like a bad talent all told, so why would we even want to change it? Because of the way shaman talents and spells interact, an extra 15% chance to crit is somewhat useless to an elemental shaman. Specifically, we’re talking about Flame Shock and Lava Burst . Because of these two spells and their interaction, elemental shamans can basically crit every eight seconds or so. They can guarantee an Elemental Focus clearcasting state to reduce mana cost by 40%. Stacking crit doesn’t really do anything for them: they’re going to crit anyway. Most of the elemental tree has synergy with spell haste in comparison, with abilities like Lightning Mastery and Storm, Earth and Fire already reducing cast time on various spells.

Hey guys heres a great article all about Breakfast Topic: When will you quit playing WoW?

Click here to View the Best Gold Guide

With all this five year anniversary stuff going on, and the new push by Blizzard for subscribers via the TV commercials and special offers , I’ve been thinking about what it would take for me to leave WoW . What would my point be where I quit the game, unsubscribe, and not return to playing it? I think likely it would be a slow death. I’d log in less and less, until I found that I wouldn’t log in for months at a time. At that point I’d probably be sensible and cancel my account — although it took an inordinate amount of time for me to cancel my EQII account where I did more or less the same thing. I’d like to think this is how it’d go at least, I wouldn’t want to quit in a huff over some silly bug or class change. Of course, this is WoW , and I find myself uniquely invested in it. I’ve got characters with hundreds of days worth of /played on them, and I don’t know yet if I could ever stop myself from being able to have immediate access to them. They are a hobby, and investment, just like a detailed model airplane or schooner. Then there’s also what I do here, which gives me a little unique reason not to ever unsubscribe. But alas, it might happen one day. And that’s the topic of today’s breakfast nook discussion. When will you quit playing WoW ? How will you go out? With a bang or a whimper?

Heres an article I found when surfing all about Cory Stockton breaks down the process of making an instance

Blizzard has done a lot of press regarding the fifth anniversary of the game (and there’s probably more to come), but Curse has done one of the more interesting pieces so far . Instead of just chatting with Cory Stockton about his experiences, they had him sit down and explain just how Blizzard puts an instance together. They specifically talked about Ulduar, but the process Stockton reveals works for all of the instances Blizzard has created for the game. A few interesting things — they “block out” the instances first, create lower-res versions of them to play around in and create the mechanics for the fights. They also do some boss testing outside of the environments — Razorscale, specifically, says Stockton, was actually tested down in the Stranglethorn Arena . Finally, once the encounter team works out the basics of the encounters, the art and item teams move in, and create art and loot, sometimes with the two of them collaborating (the art team will make a cool item for a boss, and then the item team, with the help of Greg “Ghostcrawler” Street, will give the item stats and balance). Interesting just how collaborative the whole process is — even the Ironbound Proto-drake mount came from the team seeing Razorscale and wanting to put him in mount form. It’s nice and all hearing Blizzard remember the Fry’s launch, but it’s nicer getting an inside look at their process.

Here is a great article all about One Boss Leaves: King Dred chomps Herald Volazj

Two Bosses Enter … but only One Boss Leaves, in WoW.com’s series of fantasy death matches. This season’s combatants come from the original five-man instances of Wrath of the Lich King . The heat’s on in the Two Bosses Thunderdome — not only in the ring itself, as competitors slash, cast and bash one another on their way toward the final matchup, but in the comments too. How will style balance substance? Who can make the best case for a victory? This week, the votes pointed to King Dred. The great devilsaur raked opponent Herald Volazj 50% to 46%. Spectators who sided with King Dred put their faith in his sheer power. “… I think this one will have to go to Dred,” observed Psiwave. “I’m a Herald fanboy (Lovecraft FTW!), but the herald is punching at mist here. Dred runs on pure instinct: no doubts, no regrets, just hunger.” But plenty of readers believed Volajz’s tricks would carry the match.
