December 5...tentative Patch Day!! |

Quote:
The next World of Warcraft content update, �Before the Storm,� will include the new PvP Honor System, as well as other new features that will prepare us for The Burning Crusade expansion. We are currently planning to release this content update next Tuesday, December 5. Please note that the patch date is still subject to change, and we will keep you informed of any changes to the plan as they happen.
If the patch goes live as planned, this will be the last week that new PvP ranks under the old Honor System can be earned, as the patch will immediately introduce the new Honor System. We will run one final honor calculation on December 5 and update everyone�s ranking accordingly on that date so that players who achieve a new rank for that week have the opportunity to display that title on their character. Please note, however, that no new PvP rewards will be unlocked for purchase with this final �old Honor System� calculation, regardless of any increase in rank.
For those who have been seeking high-rank PvP armor and weapons, note that the new Honor System will still include these item rewards, and it will actually be easier to earn these items under the new Honor System than under the old Honor System. Those who wish to see how their PvP abilities measure up against other players will still be able to do so under the new Arena System.

Updated Threatmeter 17.23 |
|
Nov 29, 2006 - 11:16 PM - by Mithoron
|
One of the more frustrating things as a MT is regaining Onyxia's threat during Phase 3...and we've all seen her go after various people even not on the Threatmeter. Kenco has worked on her and found out the fireball attacks she does have a threat reducing ability. As such, he's modified Threatmeter accordingly to accomodate this change.
This is a MANDATORY upgrade so I've updated the Guild Required Addons for both the General and Healer packs.
Although I realize the patch is just around the corner, we will be hitting Onyxia at least once, if not twice, before then, so hopefully we can test this out...

Patch warnings! |
|
Nov 29, 2006 - 7:54 AM - by Mithoron

As the day steadily approaches, we will be getting the 2.0 patch which adds an incredible amount of changes to the game. As with any patch, particularly a major patch as this, addons are going to be GREATLY affected.
This patch is going to affect EVERY Addon as the patch changes the entire way the game processes addons. This is due to the game upgrading the LUA language to 5.1...which makes many commands obsolete, adds new ones, and changes existing ones.
Most, if not all, addons will be affected by these changes when the patch is implemented
There are several things you can do now to save some anguish come patch day:
1. Backup your ADDONS and WTF foldersYou should be doing this regularly as there are many addons that have data that can become corrupted if your game crashes. Addons such as Lootlink, Auctioneer, Gatherer, and anything that saves data from one game to another should routinely be backed up. This will at least preserve the data come patch day until the author puts out a BC-compatible version. 2. Start searching for PTR/TBC betas of your addons!Many authors already have betas and expansion version of their addons in beta form on all the major addon sites. Create a "TBCAddons" folder and start downloading these betas into it. There is a good chance come the patch that if you just rename your Addons folder to "OldAddons" and your "TBCAddons" to "Addons" you will have minimal impact on your playing for patch day. 3. Be prepared for a FLOOD of addon updates...Moreso than any other patch, ALL addons are affected by these changes, so authors will be diligently putting out quick fixes and new versions of their addons for the next month after the patch...so be prepared!

December Raiding Schedule posted... |
|

A PARTIAL December Raiding Schedule has been posted. Current I do not have any 20-man raids scheduled; however, these will be filled in eventually with at least one week's notice. Additionally, MC runs will no longer require attendance from the previous raids, as this was only needed to get people to come to BWL; however, if BWL attendance declines as a result, we may go back to it.
