speedofsound Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Arg, so my WoW account got unbanned, but this is the second time my account has been compromised. It's very frustrating and is making it really hard to play normally. I mean I've scanned my computer with McAfee and changed my password multiple times. I'm sure the addons I am using aren't infected (they are fairly well known addons), so I'm really at a loss of what to do. I have emailed Blizzard (I've been emailing them a lot lately :P ) letting them know my situation. The only thing I can do is not log on for the time being (in case it's a keylogger). I suggest using http://www.safer-networking.org/index2.html too. McAfee is good, but it is always better to scan with multiple programs. Also, do you use the splash screen thing that pops up before the login screen? Cause that is also a built in keylogger checker, and has saved me before by detecting a keylogger. Here I was thinking you were referring to a windows splash screen. Anyways, the WoW splash screen hasn't detected anything. Jaziek: I may buy an authenticate, but I don't want to until I get whatever is allowing people to use my account out of my computer. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."

BlueTear Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 With the release of upcoming content patch players will see a change in the way we allow buffs and debuffs to stack exclusively in a raid. For the most part, what this change means is that many buffs and debuffs that were previously allowed to stack together no longer can, and that many buffs and debuffs that only a single talent specialization could bring can now be brought by multiple different specializations. The philosophy behind this change shows up in many of the changes we have made in Wrath of The Lich King, such as when we made almost all buffs raid-wide. We want players to be able to form raids and parties based on who they want to play with, rather than who has the correct talents and abilities to min-max their raid performance. Raid composition will still matter to some extent, but without this change, it would have overwhelmed every other aspect of raid planning (as we added new capabilities to each of 30 different talent trees). You no longer need to rigidly control the melee/spellcaster balance of your raid, or make sure every group has all the critical buffing classes, etc. This change has many class balance implications. IMPORTANT! Before we are done, we will thoroughly test the performance of every class. It should not be assumed that one class' current performance relative to others in beta is final. Some classes (and specializations) will need to be reduced in power and some increased. Many may feel the change has more impact on class X than class Y. We will address all of those concerns via our internal testing and community feedback. There are thirty or so different categories into which buffs and debuffs fit. Here you will find a comprehensive list of the changes made broken down by category and which spells/talents are in that category. Armor Debuff (Major): Acid Spit (exotic Hunter pet), Expose Armor, Sunder Armor Armor Debuff (Minor): Faerie Fire, Sting (Hunter pet), Curse of Recklessness Physical Vulnerability Debuff: Blood Frenzy, (2nd Talent Spec TBA) Melee Haste Buff: Improved Icy Talons, Windfury Totem Melee Critical Strike Chance Buff: Leader of the Pack, Rampage Attack Power Buff (Flat Add): Battle Shout, Blessing of Might Attack Power Buff (Multiplier): Abomination's Might, Trueshot Aura, Unleashed Rage Ranged Attack Power Buff: Hunter's Mark (only Hunters benefit, so no need to exclude against other class abilities) Bleed Damage Increase Debuff: Mangle, Trauma Spell Haste Buff: Wrath of Air Totem Spell Critical Strike Chance Buff: Moonkin Aura, Elemental Oath Spell Critical Strike Chance Debuff: Improved Scorch, Winter's Chill Increased Spell Damage Taken Debuff: Ebon Plaguebringer, Earth and Moon, Curse of the Elements Increased Spell Power Buff: Focus Magic, Improved Divine Spirit, Flametongue Totem, Totem of Wrath, Demonic Pact Increased Spell Hit Chance Taken Debuff: Improved Faerie Fire, Misery Percentage Haste Increase (All Types): Improved Moonkin Aura, Swift Retribution Percentage Damage Increase: Ferocious Inspiration, Sanctified Retribution Critical Strike Chance Taken Debuff (All types): Heart of the Crusader, Totem of Wrath Melee Attack Speed Slow Debuff: Icy Touch, Infected Wounds, Judgements of the Just, Thunderclap Melee Hit Chance Reduction Debuff: Insect Swarm, Scorpid Sting Healing Debuff: Wound Poison, Aimed Shot, Mortal Strike, Furious Attacks Attack Power Debuff: Demoralizing Roar, Curse of Weakness, Demoralizing Shout Stat Multiplier Buff: Blessing of Kings Stat Add Buff: Mark of the Wild Agility and Strength Buff: Strength of Earth Totem, Horn of Winter Stamina Buff: Power Word: Fortitude Health Buff: Commanding Shout, Blood Pact Intellect Buff: Arcane Intellect, Fel Intelligence Spirit Buff: Divine Spirit, Fel Intelligence Damage Reduction Percentage Buff: Grace, Blessing of Sanctuary Percentage Increase Healing Received Buff: Tree of Life, Improved Devotion Aura Armor Increase Percentage Buff: Inspiration, Ancestral Healing Cast Speed Slow: Curse of Tongues, Slow, Mind-numbing Poison. In each category, you can only benefit from the most powerful spell granting that effect. For example, Fel Intelligence grants spirit and intellect, both weaker than Arcane Intellect and Divine Spirit. If a player has Fel Intelligence and receives a stronger Arcane Intellect buff, he will gain the intellect value from Arcane Intellect and the spirit value from Fel Intelligence. In most cases, fully-talented players will have exactly equal power on the strength of these buffs and debuffs. Fel Intelligence is an example of where one ability is weaker than others. The buffs in the "Increased Spell Power Buff" category are also not all the same potency, as they scale and grow in radically different ways. In virtually every other case, however, the buffs are equal. This means, for example, that fully-talented Battle Shout and Blessing of Might now grant the exact same amount of attack power. In addition to this change, we also needed to address the "mana battery" roles in a raid. The mana regeneration effect they grant is no longer limited to their own party, and it no longer depends on the amount of damage they deal. Each time they trigger the mana regeneration effect, 10 people in their raid group will receive a buff which causes them to regenerate 0.5% of their maximum mana each second. This buff, Replenishment, will be given preferentially to raid members with the lowest mana, but will re-evaluate which raid members receive it each time it is fired. Replenishment is provided by Shadow Priests, Survival Hunters, and Retribution Paladins. Finally, we have modified Heroism and Bloodlust to affect the entire raid. However, all affected raid members will be unable to cast or benefit from Bloodlust/Heroism for 5 minutes. Below you will find a list of the changes to abilities which exhibit new behavior regardless of the exclusive categories. The changes usually mean the old behavior was removed and replaced by the new behavior. Numbers listed are for maximally-talented versions. Here is that list of changes: Improved Scorch: Increases spell critical strike chance against the target. Winter's Chill: Also increases spell critical strike chance against the target. Elemental Oath: Grants 5% spell crital strike to raid members. Improved Moonkin Aura: Grants 3% haste of all types. Earth and Moon: Increases spell damage taken from all schools by 13% on the target. Misery: Causes spells cast at the target to have +3% spell hit. Shadow Weaving: Buffs only self. Improved Shadow Bolt: Buffs only self. Expose Weakness: Buffs only self. Shadow Embrace: Buffs only self. Blood Pact: Grants health instead of Stamina. Fel Intelligence: Has replacement ranks that grant flat values of Intellect and Spirit. Frost Aura: Excludes properly against all other resistance buffs. Grace: Reduces damage taken by target by 3%. Rampage: Increases melee and ranged critical strike chance by 5% for the raid. Improved Faerie Fire: No longer benefits melee and ranged hit chance, only spell hit. Hunter's Mark: No longer increases attack power bonus from attacks against the target. Improved Hunter's Mark: No longer grants melee attack power. Sting (Hunter pet): Now acts as a minor armor debuff. Waylay: Attack speed reduction changed to 20%. Icy Touch: Only slows melee attack speed (not ranged or spell). Tree of Life: No longer grants healing based on spirit, grants 3% increased healing received to raid. Demonic Pact: Now buffs raid instead of debuffing monsters. Focus Magic: Now buffs raid instead of debuffing monsters. Totem of Wrath: Now grants a flat amount of spell damage, and all enemies in its radius have an increased chance of being struck by criticals. Heroism: Cannot be recast while caster has Exhausted debuff, and those with Exhausted debuff cannot be affected by it. Bloodlust: Cannot be recast while caster has Sated debuff, and those with Sated debuff cannot be affected by it. Vampiric Touch: Grants Replenishment mana regeneration buff to up to 10 raid members on dealing damage. Hunting Party: Grants Replenishment mana regeneration buff to up to 10 raid members on specified shots. Judgements of the Wise: Grants Replenishment mana regeneration buff to up to 10 raid members on Judging. Or, in not quite so many words, just about every single talent tree has been to a lesser or greater extent invalidated and is now in dire need of complete overhaul, starting with everyone who would previously have earned their raiding slots based on the utility they offered. Interesting times, indeed. -This message was deviously brought to you by: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisc6 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 This is a patch that is intended to transition between bc to wrath so its all going to change when the new end game is 80, new spells are activated and its more balanced.First looking at this i thought it was just making it eier that you will only have the best debuffs, buffs in raid encounters but it matches blizzards trend to peanolising players for mindlessly spamming things.We saw this predominatly with potion sickness because it suddenly made potions and emergency thing and not something which you could just chug and keep spamming.So if youre spamming debuffs or buffs which have no effect on teh raid because a better one is up then your wasting mana.And from what i heard, there going to be experimenting with mana races rather than dps races, where theres a certain amount of time before everyone goes OOM and even shadowpriests can keep you alive, i would believe it if potion sickness still existed because then shadowpriests then cannot chug mana pots however i suppose the revision on how vampiric embrace will work in raids sort of validates this theory.

Millard Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/08/30/ne ... for-wrath/ New titles seem pretty cool, but i think its a bit stupid of Blizzard doing the "First ... to 80" as im guessing most people will just no life like crazy missing out on most of the stuff 71 - 80 has to offer. Also guessing that some people will get more than one of the first race/class titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisc6 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I dont see the quest one attainable wright off the bat, from peopel who have tried doing as many quests possible pre bc, there at around 1.7k and 800 maybe in outland so if theres 800 in northrend (most likely more because there not doing a new race and concentrating on the continent so you can make it if you get to 80.The others are gonna be quickly attained, by a select few because first tauren druid can take the archdruid and plainsrunner and possibly proffesions because they have access to the resources quickly.Still cool because its something peopel have been after, more variety in titles.
