    Forums bug, 2.4 interface, 2.3 bug fixes

    Forum registration bugs fixed
    It seems that there was a small bug during the last month preventing a few (*coughs* over 1000) forum accounts to be activated because they couldn't get the mail. It should be fixed and you can now activate all accounts by :
    • Trying to login and clicking the "Need another activation email?" link
    • Waiting a few days, I'll send a mail to people who didn't activate yet but I'd like to minimize the spamming that's why I won't do it now.
    • Log on
      HTML Code:
      [url="irc://irc.quakenet.org/mmo-champion"][b]#mmo-champion on irc.quakenet.org[/b][/url]
      and ask me (Bibi) to get your account activated.
    • Of course, you can just [iurl=http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?action=register]register a new account[/iurl].

    This also means that registrations on PvPScene.com forums was affected by the same bug, and was fixed as well.


    2.4 Interface changes
    It's been confirmed that the combat log API will be totally changed in 2.4, what does it mean ? Basically it will be much easier to write and add features to fight analysis like combat logs parsers, damage meters, and probably a few other things that I can't think of.
    [blizzquote="Iriel;http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=2968233433&postId=30548407781&sid=1#0]The combat logging mechanism is completely overhauled with explicit data instead of text strings delivered to the UI. See slouken's post below for a sneak-peak at some of the current details. Highlights include detailed flags indicating relationship of involved units to player, unique identifiers for units with the same name within the combat log -- great for log analysis.[/blizzquote"]

    I may have missed it, due to just skimming through the list, but I didn't see any mention of the GCD bug, or the bug of dungeon quests still being at the old levels, and now too high for dungeons.

    Re: Forums bug, 2.4 interface, 2.3 bug fixes

    Season4?
    Errr ... why they are already thinking about it? Okay. That would confirm a new set (T7?) in one of the future patches cause without a new Tier, they couldn't copy one for the arena-gear :P yay!
    And as we all know they are too lazy to design an arena-only-set.

    Well, nothing surprising, Sunwell will probably include a new set, possibly the Tier 7 one.

    My thoughts.
    Let's wait and see how it grows.

    I can't recall this exactly but didn't they say explicitly before that there will be NO tier sets in Sunwell?

    Unit names do not appear in Alt-Z view.
    Yay, they noticed! Totally ruined our screenshot yesterday. Well, not ruined but it's nice to have names on killshots :P

    Lot's of bugs, but at least they seem to fix them in a short matter

    And yeah, I recall they stated that no more official tier sets would be introduced in this expansion.

    Can they possibly go more overboard with priests?

    "Casting Vampiric Embrace does not consume Relentlessness which is the two-piece set bonus of the Avatar."

    Erm... I think VE wasn't consumed because bonus reduces mana cost for 150 and VE costs less than 150. I think it was told in official WoW Priest forum. Yet another SPriest nerf .

    Also sunwell won't have T7 and I doubt we will see it until WotLK. So that does beg the question, are Blizzard actually going to DESIGN a new PvP set?

    Re: Forums bug, 2.4 interface, 2.3 bug fixes

    Dunno where to suggest news, but if u check paladin forums (where I always go) or to cromfel's website, you'll notice a post saying that heroic badge loot for retribution is already at the vendor, meaning that the supposedly warrior gear is also intended for retri. Now all that gear has +hit rating and as a retri u dun dual weild and thus don't need it. But saying this gear will be for retri might mean that retri will get some changes (probably in 2.4) so that the armor will match with the stats a retri pala wil then need. Ofcourse this is pure specualtion, but the blue post mi9ght be nice to add in todays update
    WoW characters that need/deserve to get killed/punished/otherwise removed from the story: Tirion(dead now), Thrall, Malfurion, Sylvanas(soon?), Jaina, Tyrande

    ^totally wrong, Sunwell = Tier 7, basically the Naxxramas of WotLK (a new instance/tier right b4 an xpac, that is slightly pointless)

    And what do you base that on? It was stated at Blizzcon that we won't see Tier 7 before WOTLK, which considering Sunwell was pencilled to have 5-6 bosses (now 6-8) seems pretty logical.

    Yeah, I remember this aswell. No Tier7 before WoTLK. On the other hand though, they also said that players will be at least level 100 when engaging Arthas :

    What the folks at Blizzard plan never turns out to be the final product :P
