World of Warcraft: Raid Boss and Quest Design Theories
I’m a pretty big critic when it comes to game design since I’ve dabbled a bit in writing my own home grown modules for games like Shadowrun, Dungeons and Dragons and even games with a customized aspect. So when it comes to playing games I do enjoy such as Diablo 3 and World of Warcraft,…

Blizzard has announced the beginning of the new Patch 5.4 in terms of some of the upcoming features for PTR coming up. While the Flex Raid was already mentioned as one of the biggest new upcoming features as well as the Siege of Orgrimmar raid, we now can see a few big features beyond these…

World of Warcraft: Finally Finished Throne of Thunder (LFR)
I had been procrastinating on doing the last leg of Throne of Thunder for a while now. But it wasn’t as bad as I had imagined. The Lei Shen fight was more annoying and a clusterfuck but I could see that it was definitely doable. Main thing is just making sure people were marked, communication…

World of Warcraft: Are Fishing and Cooking Worth Taking?
Up until Mist of Pandaria, the fishing and cooking professions were some of the most heinous professions to level. Fishing was simply boring as you took ages just grinding through zones until eventually you couldn’t push any farther. Cooking really only saw benefits for raiding but the rest of cooking practically was useless, unless you…

World of Warcraft: To Disenchant or Not While Leveling in Mist of Pandaria
Enchanting traditionally has been one of the hardest and most costly professions to level. One of the most popular things to do is combine tailoring with enchanting, thus allowing you to disenchant the items you create through tailoring with your enchanting skills. This works well while you level. However, you can also use your questing…

World of Warcraft: My Favorite Classes/Specs
As an alt-a-holic, I am someone who generally has been agnostic in terms of favoring any single class at the very top. I can see the benefits of each and enjoy the play style of most of them. The only thing I really don’t play is a healer as I feel that it can be…

World of Warcraft: Easy Gold Making For Levels 80-85
Unless you quests heavily and/or do a fair amount of gathering as you level, you might find yourself lacking gold at lower levels. Once you hit 80, you probably want to get Artisan Flying and start thinking about Master Riding. But unless you have gold lying around from alts, you’ll probably be far off from…

World of Warcraft: Flexible Raid System Announced for Patch 5.4
Today, Blizzard announced yet another raiding format and difficulty, labeling it Flexible Raiding. The idea for Flexible Raiding is to allow for a variable number of people to join in between 10-25 and introduce a new difficulty tier that will sit in between LFR and Normal mode, where encounters will adjust in difficulty (probably meaning…

World of Warcraft: Is it Worth Gearing Up Alts?
I was watching Yoni stream the other day and noted how Cataclysm and Pandaria offered venders for quickly gearing. I assume when the next expansion comes out, the game will provide some quick catch up mechanisms for people who came in late and missed out on raiding. Like other expansions these catch up mechanisms more…

World of Warcraft: Warrior at Level 90 Next Eyeballing Mage
I managed to hit 90 on my warrior last night. Overall, I would say that the entire process probably took roughly 4-5 nights altogether. Ultimately, my path consisted of doing the Jade Forest in its entirety (85-87), half of Valley of the Four Winds (87-88), Kun-Lai Summit (88-89) and finishing off with probably around a…
