Kil'jaeden weapons, Blue posts, MLG PC Circuit

Kil'jaeden weapon drops preview
With M'uru out of the picture, we're left with 5 weapons from the old and always-reliable sunwell loot leak. We can assume that all these weapons drop from Kil'jaeden and it's probably a good time to make full size screenshots of them. Even if the stats on the original screenshot was accurate, they could have been changed in the last weeks and it might be slightly different in 2.4.2. However it didn't happen yet for any of the item from this screenshot.

Official Forum Reorganization

On Wednesday, May 21, we’ll be making some changes to the way the forums are organized. While the majority of these changes only alter how the current forums are grouped together, we will be removing the Guild Recruitment forum entirely, and replacing it with new Guild Recruitment – Alliance, and Guild Recruitment – Horde forums. By splitting the forum we’re effectively cutting the posting traffic of the forum in half which will help keep the recruitment posts there visible for a longer amount of time before falling off the first page. When this change happens all posts currently in the Guild Recruitment forum will be removed, so if you or your guild currently have a recruitment post there please keep a copy to repost after the split.

We don’t anticipate these changes to cause any issues for posters while we make them, but some forum navigation options may only be partially functional until we’ve completed the work.

[url="http://www.mlgpro.com/2008pccircuit/index"][img]http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2008/april/mlgtrans.gif[/img]</img>[/url]

The rules for the WoW Tournament of the 2008 MLG PC Circuit are now known and the registrations are open

General Rules
1. No leaving the normal boundaries of a Map.
2. No wall jumping.
3. No looking at an opposing Team’s monitor or projected screens by Players or Coaches.
4. Breaking any of the above rules will result in a Forfeit of the Game.
5. Any sign of cheating may result in a Forfeit of the Game and possible ejection.
6. Players must use their registered MLG Login Name during all Games. No Team Name abbreviations are allowed.
7. No Warm-Up Games may be played outside of scheduled Warm-Up periods.
8. During scheduled Warm-Up periods the winners can stay, but the losers must get up.
9. During scheduled Warm-Up periods, Teams still active in the Event have priority over open Stations.
10. In the case of a Computer/Monitor malfunction or a Character falling below the Map, the Game will be restarted from the beginning unless one Team had 2 more living Characters than the opposing Team.
11. Games started without the approval of a referee will be restarted.
12. If a Team fails to report to their Station within 5 minutes of the announcement, they will Forfeit the 1st Game. 10 minutes after the announcement, a Team will Forfeit the 2nd Game. 15 minutes after the announcement, a Team will Forfeit their Best of 5 Game Match.

Equipment
1. Players may bring their own mouse, keyboard, headphones, and mouse pad.
2. All Players must submit their mouse, keyboard, and headphone driver requirements by 11:59 PM ET on Monday, June 9th. No drivers, that have not been previously submitted, will be installed at the San Diego Competition.
3. All Player equipment is subject to approval.
4. Players may not use 3rd party Add-ons.
5. Players may not change the Computer/Monitor sound and video settings.
6. All User Interface setups will be confined to the Blizzard default options.
7. All interface changes must be supervised by a WoW Referee or the WoW Tournament Director.

Championship Bracket
1. The Championship Bracket is a Best of 5 Game Match, Double Elimination Bracket.
2. After losing a Match, Teams will fall into the Losers Bracket.
3. A Match loss in the Losers Bracket will result in elimination from the Event.
4. Teams may consist of 3 or 4 Players.
5. Teams must submit their Roster of Players/Characters to the Referee prior to the start of Games 1, 3, and 5.
6. Before Games 3 and 5, Teams will be given 5 minutes to change Players, Characters, Settings, redistribute Talent Points.
7. Teams will be seeded randomly.
8. All Gear will be standard Season 2 Arena Gear.
9. Arena 3v3 will be used for all Games.
10. Maps will be randomly selected, for each Game by Blizzard’s Matchmaking system.
11. No Game Type may be played more that two times in a Best of 5 Game Match.
12. No Game Type may be played more than four times in a Best of 11 Game Match.
13. If Teams meet for a 2nd time in the Championship Bracket, their Match will expand to a Best of 11, include the previous Match, and pick up where that Match left off. For example, if Team A beat Team B 3 Games to 0 in the Winners Bracket, the Best of 11 will resume with Game 4 and Team A leading 3 Games to 0. Before Games 7, 9, and 11, Teams will be given 5 minutes to change Players, Characters, Settings, and redistribute Talent Points.
14. If the Teams meeting in the Finals have not yet faced each other in the Championship Bracket and the Team coming from the Losers Bracket wins a Match, another Match must be played to break the tie since both Teams would only have one Match loss.

4. Players may not use 3rd party Add-ons.

Hopefully WotLK brings a better default UI.

[Izichial]

Is the looks of that staff really the best they could come up with for the best healing weapon ingame, as well as a drop from the Kil'jaeden encounter? :x

[Mazorp]

Hopefully WotLK brings a better default UI.

Yeah, this rule seems pretty stupid to me. It goes against one of the absolute best features of WoW.

Well they want the games to be about how 'good' the player is at the game not about how well the add-on plays parts of the game for them.

A lot of items are based off items shown in screenshots and concept art. The staff doesn't seem too bad to me.

Aren't addons 2nd party addons? As in ones that Blizz approve of and don't ban for?
3rd party addons sound more like powerleveling software, goldgrind bots and so on.

[Yukikaze]

You should add a new screenshot of the stats of the bow.

As it appears, it won't need any ammo anymore, right?
The screenie only says "15% attack-speed". No word about the sfx and the magical arrows-stuff.

Either way: Hell... I want to have that bow ;D

[Dessimus]

Weapons pics without text on them would probably be better...
