It has been noted that World of Warcraft is definitely a game worth beholding. As such it is no denial that millions of players have embraced the game and adapted it. With the popularity of this game, there is also no doubt that there will definitely exist some third party addons, websites and other programs. As such an instance of which is the gear score add in WoW.

Gear score is a tool that is used to immediately scan the player in order to determine if a player is good enough to be accepted in a group, raid or even a team. As such long before when this was not yet available, in order for you to identify if a character is pretty loaded, you tend to ask him or her questions. But this time, you can no longer resort to such. You can simply do this manually by looking at their gears.

This kind of device is particularly useful in order to identify and double check if the player is lying to you or not. As such since you can their gears, you can in fact verify if this character will be of value to your team most especially if we are talking raids here. Aside from knowing their gears, you can even check their statistics and even abilities. However, in spite of such positivity and usefulness of such this can present a problem. Some raid leaders are now setting the bar too high and leave the mid players out. There is no more helping of a player to get a gear because a player is an asset. Instead it is the statistics that is now considering for approval. In this case, some players resort to run older content as fast as they can in order to farm emblems quickly. There are many cases as well that some groups tend to reject new players that might need gear from such content.

Another controversy that arises with regards to the gear score addon is that the gear scores can be inflated by simply using gear with higher stats. Some don’t even know that by having such equipment is inappropriate and might prove harmful to the class. One instance of which is the utilization of spell power armor by some classes that are heavy on physical DPS so as to amplify their gear score. Another example is the wearing of some higher level PvP gears in which it might not be meaningful if we are to consider PvE.

As such it is extremely important that though these gear score addons can aid us in a way or another, these must not dictate how we select a player for our group. In fact, more than the gears we must look at the skills and the flexibility of a player in order to meet the group’s objectives. Asking questions would still be the best way to note if a player is indeed good or not. As stated a good set of gears and higher scores do not define the skill of a player on a particular situation.

If you think that pets only exist in the real world, better think again. In the World of Azeroth, having a pet is both a necessity and even want. As such they are cute to look at and can be a valuable asset no your end. Thus regardless of class you really should obtain some World of Warcraft pets.

As a note, there are three kinds of pets currently existing. However, only one can be made accessible. For instance, warlocks and death knights can have their own minions. On the other hand hunters can have pets that aid them with regards to hunting. The third type is the companion or vanity pets that are not intended for combat. Thus, if you are interested in grabbing one regardless of use, we will provide you ways on how to get one good and ideal pet for you.

Tip 1: Buy. Perhaps an easy thing for a player to do if you are interested in having a pet is to simply buy them from a vendor. As such this can be an immediate solution on your end that provides faster transactions in exchange. However, do take note that only a few pets are available from the vendors in the game. As such these are normally inexpensive. The real challenge here is how to find a vendor. The best areas to look for one are key cities in WoW and even around them. Some vendors tend to sell pets like owls, cats, rabbits and more. If you are interested in having some rare pets that are quite expensive, you can opt to go to Dalaran and Netherstorm where you can get wyms, snakes, cats and raptor.

Tip 2: Loot. This is perhaps one lucky way of obtaining a pet on your own. As such this can be obtained by simply killing beasts or mobs. If you happen to kill them and leave one pet loot then it can be yours to grab. However, this can be tiring since you need to kill over thousands of them in order to have a pet. But there are some who tends to drop occasionally and might be good options for you to venture out.

Tip 3: Craft. There are some World of Warcraft professions that enable you to craft your own pet. For instance, an engineer can make a squirrel and even a toad that everybody can have and own. There are also some combat pets that they too can make. This also holds true for jewelcrafters as well. They can make trinkets that can fight by your side for a moment. But on the sad note, only jewelcrafters can use these trinkets.

Tip 4: Rewards. Some World of Warcraft quests are very extravagant with regards to their rewards. As such by simply completing these can earn you a companion pet. Same goes with regards to achievements. You might notice in your achievement log that by having 50 pets will gain you one more for free. This will also happen again if you have 75 pets. Random dungeon raids can also reward you with not only achievements but also pets.

These are just some of the venues for you to own a pet. Some may be quite easy to do while some take serious efforts in having one. Nonetheless owning some World of Warcraft pets can really be beneficial on your end as a player.

Just recently a Blizzard press conference wrapped up pinpointing the new changes with regards to their next update. One thing they stressed out was the raid and new lockout mechanics. For instance is the idea of downshifting. In here a 25 man raid can be divided or split into 10 man groups. Upshifting is definitely not allowed. The ten man division is easier to manage and can easily be created depending on the divisions. This is one thing that Blizzard would want their players to experience.

Raid lockouts will be forgiving in the next update. The idea here is that as long as you killed the same bosses in that raid, you can still be able to join another raid in progress regardless if you are in another raid at the same instance during the lockout. You might be unable to kill the same boss twice but it doesn’t mean you are cut off from the said raid. Thus you can breeze yourself in Cataclysm doing it.

Aside from the new system to be implemented on the next WoW patch, there would be two new raids in the making. These are Grim Batol – The Bastion of Twilight and Skywall.

Grim batol is an entry level raid area with five different encounters and a sixth boss that can be optional depending on the level of difficulty. The final boss is named Cho’gall. Defeating him will trigger a floor collapsing lore that will reveal one horrifying secret according to Afrasiabi the designer. Skywall on the other hand will be a five man instance where you can use your flying mount to travel but can’t be used on combat of any kind. This raid area will include other players that are against the Windlord by the name of Al’Akir.

I am pretty sure these information will keep you fed for a while trying to illustrate how awesome the new battlegrounds will be and the system as a whole. Bear in mind that you can opt to pick now your 10 man ally to aid you with this one. Nonetheless, there is no denying that World of Warcraft Cataclysm is one big and changing update to begin with.

If you have been looking on information as to what the press conference holds, you come to the right place. In here we will be discussing a synthesis on what was being discussed and a few ideas that were shelled out. At least these will keep us for quite some time until the real expansion arrives.

One thought that somehow made an impact from the press conference is the removal of the Path of the Titans. Since this place is suppose to be connected with Archaeology, the new profession’s focus will be on the showing of the lore of the game and also uncovering the history of Azeroth. Players can be able to find two types of artifacts. One would be the lore artifacts that can be able to teach you about the world. The second one is the cosmetic or vanity rewards. As stated archaeology is one optional profession.

Expect that World of Warcraft will have an Egyptian inspired theme. This is according to Alex Afrasiabi who is the lead designer of the world. Uldum for one will contain the Egyptian theme carrying some of the themes of Ahn’Qiraj. A cat like race will be introduced in this zone and will be referred to as the Tol’vir. Deepholm would be an Elemental Plane of Earth where Deathwing is resting. He will not be breaking into Azeroth as he will be heading to Maelstroom.

In addition, the level up experience has been overhauled. The user interface when you level up will be displayed if you will have a new talent point, when you unlock new abilities and new features like riding, glyphs use and battlegrounds. A park in Stormwind will be destroyed by Deathwing showing his impact on the world itself. Much more heirlooms will work for new goblin and even worgen characters. However, they will not past level 80. Garrosh would now be the acting warchief of Orgimmar and will move his throne room in front of it. The valley of wisdom will now become the Tauren District.

These are some of the things you can duly expect come Cataclysm. In fact there are still more under development and just waiting to be uncovered when the expansion would be integrated in the game. I know some may have been disappointed but at least Blizzard is doing their best to give us the best World of Warcraft expansion ever.

World of Warcraft guilds can now level up like the usual leveling characters. There will be 20 levels for guild progression. The guild’s experience will be gained based from the performance of its top 20 players. These players are mostly the active ones with higher level caps. Such guild experience will be gained based on raid bosses killing, PvP arena victories, PvP battlegrounds victories, profession levels and skills. Much more the Guild XP can even be converted into a currency that in return you can use to buy some guild items. This can then be shared to other members like raid materials and the like.

Though the rules of gaining Guild XP has not been laid out, but still the development is taking place thus there could be more rooms for changes. What we currently have right now is that when you participate on a boss kill and in some battlegrounds activities it can count as a guild experience. But do take note that it must consist of 75% of the party is from the same guild. Much more individual’s advancement like reputation and profession will count from a number of players and not from the guild itself. This kind of specification will cater smaller guilds to compete with the larger ones if they have sufficient number of active members.

Guilds will be awarded one guild talent point as it progresses from one level to the other. This can then be used as a guild wide talent for its members. However, as of the moment there is not much information in line with this one. Nonetheless, with this new system it can provide convenience to its guild members rather than with an individual player. Possible examples include mass resurrection after a wipe, reduced cost on possible repairs and raid wide buffs.

There would also be guild achievements that will be similar to the player’s achievement but will be granted to the whole guild members. Such will be awarded right after clearing a raid instance, having a member with the highest profession level cap and much more.

These are just some of the items guild leaders and members will surely anticipate when Cataclysm is here. Nonetheless, this time the expansion will give due importance to the guild itself and not only on individual achievement and the like. Thus, better inform your fellow guild players about this wonderful information so everyone can contribute to the guild’s betterment.

Many are in fact excited with regards to the Cataclysm update. With tiny bits of information being shelled out unexpectedly, the anticipation is building up as to what things to expect. There are already information being leaked like the new maximum level cap, new profession, new classes and more. And one thing you can definitely anticipate is the Path of the Titans. Perhaps you would be asking what would be the role of this area. What is this path? How it can revamp the World of Warcraft? What have Blizzard indicated so far?

Path Of The Titans

When WoW Cataclysm will sink in there will be a new secondary profession in the World of Azeroth. This in turn allows all players to uncover and find secrets which have been discovered after the event that destroyed much the world. As soon as players will find these and their glyphs creation, they will be led to the start of the questline at the max level now 85. In here they can be able to customize their history, style and more. These questlines are the Path of the Titans.

The quest line or titan path leads to numerous numbers of quests for players. These in turn can unlock rare items, rewards, skill and talent change. This allows top level customization of a player making it more specific and personalized. Thus, any player can develop that sense of individuality and more expressionism involved. Another exciting area with the Path of the Titans is its lore that is linked with different hero. These heroes are Aman’ Thul: the High Father, Golganneth: The Thunderer, Eonar: The Lifebinder, Aggramar: The Avenger, Khaz’Goroth: The Shaper and Norgannon: The Dreamweaver. Just imagine the different possibilities you can take and surely make with the Path of the Titans alone.

With all these and even more left undiscovered, it would be no wonder that Cataclysm is something to watch out for. Thus, don’t be left behind better look for more Cataclysm information in the Web. And when the update has come make sure to get a grasp of it immediately and don’t forget to walk to the Path of the Titans.
