Arena
2010-03-03
Ok so what I said was VERY subjective and very inaccurate. I'm teamed up with a war. And teammate asides, all I do is pick on casters. I pop BW early and target the caster in hopes of killing them before they have a chance to CC me...unless its a paladin. Then I viper sting and move on to the next target til my VS CD is up...but I haven't lasted long enough for that to happen.
Keep in mind this has been my first Arena experience and I SUCK.-Hunter on Dragonblight

Hunter changes
2010-02-25
Because I am bored, I am posting another thread similar to the one in the general section about changes to the game.
In this one, I'm hoping we can have a discussion about changes we might like as hunters. Against, please do not take this as a whining post, i have no problem with how Hunters are played now, and even after the nerfs I believe I will still enjoy my hunter more than any of the other classes.
here are some that I have thought of...

You, Summer Vacation, and WoW
2009-11-07
Hey, guys. I've been so busy since last week studying for finals that I haven't had any time to post blogging entries. Now that school is almost over, I'll have a little more time to post entries and keep you excited users busy! Anyways, moving on... I've been playing World of Warcraft for over three years. That's three summer vacations I've been through since I started playing. Considering I have two parents who work full time, I usually spend about three days a week home alone. With very little things to do while my parents a...

So your聽family聽thinks that you'll never amount to anything because you sit around in your bathrobe all day聽managing your World of Warcraft guild.

Games Industry 3.0
2009-09-19
Everyone is talking about "Web 2.0" where hot brands such as YouTube, Facebook, Flickr, Zillow and others deliver distributed services to a community of growing users. Just last week the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco drew heavyweights including Microsoft CEO Steve Balmer, News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch, AOL founders Steve Case and Ted Leonsis and a who's who of the new web titans.
These new web services have smashed the old paradigm of software products that were developed, "gold mastered" and then sold into a few predictable channels. Companies had traditional barriers of increasing costs of product development, infrastructure, sales, marketing and distribution. Now companies are built in a few weeks on "mash ups" of several existing products and technologies to become big in a matter of months on shoestring budgets.
I think there is a revolution happening now in the games industryone that many have labeled as "Games 3.0". Last year I wrote about the games business being broken and how to fix it. For a little perspective, the Games 1.0 epoch was from the early 1980s-1995 with the early Sega, Atari and Nintendo game consoles that were eventually outdistanced by the radically different Sony PlayStation. The model was simple; sell a hardware box and "attach" as many games as possible to each one. The channel was retail and stuff was sold in boxes. PC games were still mostly standalone though early MUDs were becoming more sophisticated and geeks connected over Telnet and a newly developing technology called the Internet.
The next evolutionary step was Games 2.0 that ran from 1996-2004. This era was categorized with "next gen" consoles. Sega Dreamcast started things off on the console side with revolutionary modem connectivity. Sony followed with the enormously successful PS2 and Microsoft entered the market with Xbox. Handheld gaming was catching on in a big way and Nintendo had o...

What the Continental Champion is Playing These Days
2009-09-16
The Drums of War Block format is shaping up to be focused on two distinct things: big allies that are hard to kill and Vanquish effects. Both those facts shape up very well for Horde Mage decks.
Will of the Forsaken is a power that was just outside the realm of tournament worthiness in Constructed, but it¡¯s making a huge impact in the slower Block format. In a format where it seems like every deck is packing at least four Vanquishes, Will of the Forsaken is a power that can be difficult for a lot of decks to handle. When you look at the cards that are already popular in the format, cards like Deadliness, Slash and Dash, Hesriana, Wub's Cursed Hexblade, Horrify, and several others are almost completely worthless against this type of deck.
With 16 Will of the Forsaken allies in Corey's version and 20 in Chris's deck, most of their opponents will find themselves reduced to trying to kill allies the old fashioned way, dealing fatal damage to them. That's where Dethvir steps in. Any kind of AoE damage can't kill the forsaken because Dethvir steps up and takes one for the team. In this area, Chris's deck has a little bit of added versatility with the inclusion of Undercity.
With the Undead capitol location, Chris has the option to conti...

NCsoft invests for the future

The Korean games firm announced consolidated sales of KRW 338.7 billion (USD 361m) in 2006, but pre-tax profit dropped 41 per cent to KRW 50.0bn (USD 53.3m).
Year-on-year sales have remained constant, thanks to its continuing success with products such as Lineage and Lineage II, with the fall in profit resulting from increased investment in development to expand NCsoft's portfolio. In addition, the r...

World of Warcraft Hunter Tips
2009-08-27
Just because hunters can solo all the way to level 70, it does not mean they should.
World of Warcraft characters consider hunters to be one of the easiest character classes to play. This is not often true, but hunters who solo their way to high levels are known to do so quickly. The ranged combat class in the game does well in solo play, but can be a good addition to groups as well. A few tips and tricks can help the hunter in this task.1. Do Not Solo All the Time
Just because hunter can solo well, it does not mean a character should solo all the way to level 70. World of Warcraft like all other mmorpgs is designed to be a social experience. Not only that, the character who solos all the time may find it difficult to get groups if he does not understand what and what not to do when running through an instance with members of a group. Reputations matt...
