World of Warcraft : down

M'uru down, New items, Video: What Else Is on? 2

Zyuu — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:15:58 GMT

M'uru was killed by SK Gaming yesterday. We hope to have more news about Kil'Jaeden soon. No promises though.

World of Raids spoke with Mekon from SK Gaming:

Without doubt the best designed encounter Blizzard have made since Naxxramas. M'uru / Entropius is the hardest non blocked fight ever made no question. It is perfectly tuned, you cannot make a single mistake and need a flawless strat. It's a really fun and intense fight that allows all classes to play an active roll rather than sitting and spamming.

I'm really not sure how many guilds are capable of killing it, the amount of dps you need is crazy and the healing is soo tight because you cant use many at all. I'm really proud of everyone in the guild and the effort they have put into this, it was well deserved. Looking forward to the race on KJ now!

Is Blizzard Dumbing Down WoW?

Zyuu — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 02:22:14 GMT

The discussions surrounding if Blizzard is making World of Warcraft too easy with the removal of various attunements (basically all of them) and nerfing boss encounters and what not -- have been around for a long time.

Ron, a newswriter for Gaming Today (part of filefront.com) have shared his take on it all. He's calling the article "Don't Worry, Blizzard Isn't Dumbing Down World of Warcraft".

Judging from the forum posts I have seen, one of the more controversial changes coming in the 2.4 patch is the removal of attunements for the Mount Hyjal and Black Temple 25-man raid instances, and the introduction of gear that can be purchased with Badges of Justice that is on par with Hyjal/Black Temple drops. At first glance, the non-MMO player would wonder why this, of all things, would be a point of contention. Personally, I wonder what mindset makes players think this is a bad idea.

A perfect place to see what I am talking about is this thread. A player named ‘Fsgadgdsafhg’ offers up the following opinion:

All the T6 raiding guilds old and new are dumbfounded and hung up on the insane devaluing of their arcievements. Everything we worked for raidnights after raidnights, week after week is getting handled out for frickin Badges.

Its one thing that attunements are lifted… Trashmobs and early bosses will take care of the trash guilds. But for christ sake why hand out gear, and now gems too for as much effort as running Heroics. How is it comparable to the countless hours of attunement process, the consumables,the effort?

At least pretend that hardcore raiders are important and introduce some kind of reward or recognition.

This represents what I believe to be a fundamentally flawed viewpoint. This represents the elitist, exclusionist attitude that many casual players have long said makes MMO’s less fun for them. The idea that giving more players access to dungeons or loot devalues the accomplishments of those who have already completed those challenges is ridiculous. Why? It’s simple.

Is it simple? Well, read the entire article to find out.
