Curiosities - The End of the World

World's End…

banner_curiosities

It had been a long time since the Curiosities section appeared among us. This time he returns from the hand of Khern and his alter Kurzik, a shaman who is going to show us what the End of World WarcraftWe will also see the hidden islands southeast of Tanaris, where goblins and pirates live oblivious to everyone else.

He also asks us to mention Dalak and his post in the official forum, as it seems he was the first to overcome the "Blue Barrier". For now we are left with the screenshots of Khern.

But let him explain it to us himself.

Discovering April Fool's

orOuaaaaaaahm, what a dream. This sleeping 17 hours a day can't be good ... Anyway, let's see what new things there are lately ... Eing? Looking for partners? Am I a Tusk? An aunt who reads backwards? A team meter to see who has it the longest? But ... but ... but ... Aaaaaaaaaaanda, today is April 1, the day of the innocent saints in much of the world. I already understand everything!

That's how I found myself on Thursday. Well yes, like every 1 April, is celebrated on the day of the innocent saints or April Fool's (for the Americans), and from Blizzard they do not miss it or crazy. Every year there have been jokes about future modifications, and as always, I am going to ask Chromie to open the library, to see what changes have happened in recent years:

This week we bring you an article about the well-known expression of Ready on the Blizzard forums. To know a little about this expression.

Thanks to Zäkum for sending your question to our mail and have us write this article for all of you.

Curiosities - Humor: The 3 branches of a priest

This week: Humor: The Three Branches of a Priest.

banner_curiosities

It's been quite a few weeks since the curiosities section was published and we opened the section this year with a small article about the priest's class. An article in a humorous tone that you send us elnath, as he himself tells us, a colleague from his brotherhood has written it and they want to share it with the community. So let's thank masklin for your input.

You can not lose BASIC CONCEPTS OF PRIEST AND ITS DIFFERENT BRANCHES OF TALENTS.

10 ideas for a Heroic Death Mines

Mines of Death is one of those iconic dungeons that, at least for the Alliance, has a special aftertaste. It is the first dungeon that I personally visited and I was in awe and perhaps it was one of the things that irretrievably got me hooked on this game.
Going into a cavern and seeing a ship after all is simply epic for someone who is just starting to play.

Mines of Death

Lots of gamers jokingly created a move that asked Blizzard for some Heroic Deathmines and during BlizzCon 09 with the announcement of Cataclysm, they surprised us with the announcement of Heroic Mines of Death and Darkfang Castle.

Asked for Twitter which was the favorite and all of you have answered me that without a doubt Minas de la Muerte (for me, too). In this article I intend to capture 10 things that would make Mines of Heroic Death. It does not imply that any of this is real, they are just ideas and that they would adapt the dungeon to Blizzard's current combat design.

Explaining Chaos Theory: Anomalus

Anomalus-post-exp-chaos-theory It is well known by all (and if not, the vast majority) that Blizzard draws a lot from the contexts o gag's of the WoW world in curiosities external to the game, such as other Blizzard games such as Diablo or Starcraft, the world of TV or cinema, music, etc. Well, today we will talk about Chaos theory, achievement, mathematical and physical theory that I will explain below:

 

The achievement:

The achievement consists of, defeat anomaly en The nexus (heroic) without destroying any leak. A very complicated achievement for those who are not very familiar with the theory behind this achievement, or for those with little equipment; D

 

Chaos theory:

Chaos theory is a well-known concept in mathematics and physics where it deals with certain types of behaviors, of course, unpredictable dynamical systems.

Un dynamic system It is a complex system that presents a change or evolution of its state over time. The behavior in said state can be characterized by determining the limits of the system, the elements and their relationships. In this way, models can be developed that seek to represent the structure of the same system. Dynamic systems can be basically classified into:

  • Stable: tends over time to a point, or orbit, according to its dimension (attractor)
  • Unstable: which escapes from attractors.
  • Chaotic: manifests the two previous behaviors. On the one hand, there is an attractor by which the system is attracted, but at the same time, there are "forces" that push it away from it. In this way, the system remains confined to an area of ​​its state space, but without tending towards a fixed attractor.

Note: Un attractor it is the set to which the system evolves after a long enough time. For the set to be an attractor, the trajectories that are sufficiently close to it must remain close even if they are slightly disturbed. Geometrically, an attractor can be a point, a curve, a manifold, or even a complicated set of fractal structure known as a strange attractor. The description of attractors of chaotic dynamical systems has been one of the great achievements of chaos theory.


The trajectory of the dynamical system in the attractor does not have to satisfy any special property except that of staying in the attractor; it can be periodic, chaotic, or of any other kind.

One of the greatest characteristics of an unstable system is that it has a great dependence on the initial conditions. From a system whose characteristic equations are known, and with fixed initial conditions, its evolution over time can be known exactly. But in the case of chaotic systems, a slight difference in those conditions makes the system evolve in a totally different way. Examples of such systems include the Earth's atmosphere, the Solar System, plate tectonics, turbulent fluids, and population growth.

In order to classify the behavior of a system as chaotic, the system must have the following properties:

  • It must be sensitive to initial conditions.
  • It must be transitive.
  • Their periodic orbits must form a dense set in a compact region of physical space.

Sensitivity to initial conditions means that two points in such a system can move on very different trajectories in their phase space even if the difference in their initial configurations is very small.

For the uninitiated in mathematics, the name "Chaos Theory" can be misleading for two reasons:

  1. It is not necessarily a theory but can be understood as a large open field of research, encompassing different lines of thought.
  2. Chaos it is understood not as an absence of order, but as a certain type of order of unpredictable characteristics, but describable in a concrete and precise way. That is to say: an unpredictable type of order of movement.

 

Applying the theory to achievement:

The best way to do this is for the tank to tank Anomalus at the end of the room where it starts, and once its immune phase begins and invokes the first faults, the tank moves a few meters away, and the rest of the group ( including meles) moves a few meters behind the tank, so that the failures will only damage the tank, which will be constantly receiving cures. The difficulty of the achievement is that, as more time passes, the greater the damage received by the tank and surely by the rest of the group.

Chaos theory tells us that it is about the different types of dynamic behaviors, that is, Stable, Unstable and finally Chaotic, whose evolution depends on the time that passes from when we start the Stable system, until the Chaotic system. In achievement, it is almost inevitable to reach Chaotic behavior during combat, and this is where the whole theory is reflected, which tells us:

Chaotic: manifests the two previous behaviors. On the one hand, there is an attractor by which the system is attracted (in our case, the tank), but at the same time, there are "forces" that keep him away from it.. In that way, the system remains confined to an area of ​​its state space, but without tending to a fixed attractor.

In practice, for all of us to understand, it is that, as I explained before, the tank acts as an attractor, that is, a point where all the faults will center their chaotic damage. The longer the time that elapses from the Steady state, the greater the final chaos. In short, the longer it takes you to kill them, the greater the probability of failing the achievement, due to certain death.

Stories with History: The Curse of Corrupt Blood

A couple of weeks ago, in this section, we reviewed the history of Leeroy Jenkins.

Today I want to tell you about an epidemic curse that ravaged the lands of the continent of Azeroth early in the game.
The Corrupted Blood was the first of the serious diseases to ravage the cities of World of Warcraft. Until recently, with the plague event, we haven't been able to see anything like it.
The epidemic began on September 15 back in 2005 on the American server Silvermoon. Two days earlier, on the 13th, the doors of Zul'Gurub had been opened as part of the content included in Patch 1.7.
Zul'Gurub is a 20-person raid dungeon located north of Stranglethorn Vale. Its final boss, Hakkar is one of the gods of the troll pantheon.

Northrend Nordic

vikings3 I invite you to take a quick trip back in time when Blizzard began to reveal information about what would be Wrath of The Lich King. The news about the Vrykul and the Kvasir really liked the community and I personally (and I guess everyone) loved the idea of ​​having Vikings in World of Warcraft. I have been able to observe how Northrend is influenced by Norse culture and even its traditions. That is why I intend to collect their similarities here.

En Ulduar we have even more references to Nordic culture. If you find something that I missed or have an interesting idea to share, I think we will all be delighted to hear it.

Stories with History: Leeroy Jenkins

With this type of article, I intend to tell some players, things that happened in the past and that due to their repercussion in the community (or even in the game itself) deserve to be known.

When I started playing World of Warcraft I would see a lot of players by the name of Leeroy or Jenkins but I had no idea who or what that name was. Today we are going to explain it.

leroyjenkins

Leeroy Jenkins is the alias of Ben Schultz who adopted the nickname "Leeroy Jenkins" as a rallying cry during a "Starcraft" battle with his friends. He is undoubtedly one of the most famous World of Warcraft players of all time and the protagonist of a video in which you can see the disaster he causes in what at that time (it was the end of 2004) was one of the more delicate dungeons: Blackrock Peaks: Superior.
