Interview with Kintt at the 2009 Warcraft Regional Finals

Kintt is one of the great participants of the 2009 Regional Finals, and Blizzard has dedicated an interview to him where topics such as tournament preparation, teams to follow, and what makes his 3v3 team unique are covered. He has not lost the interview, and here you can read it

Kintt interview at the 2009 Regional Finals:

http://eu.blizzard.com/rf09/_images/interviews/interview3/kintt.jpgBlizzardEntertainment: You are about to enter a major tournament with veteran players who have already made their own name. What do you think is the best way to prepare for this type of event? Why?

Kintt: Since I'm a veteran myself, playing as many games with your teammates to get the best idea of ​​how they'll react in certain situations is very important. It is also very useful to be able to go outside the norm to make skirmish matches against the higher quality teams of your battle group.

New information about Algalon

Yes, we are talking about Algalon, the gang destroyer that has been created to never be defeated (I hope to say).

The latest information indicates that You can only fight him 1 hour a week. This greatly hinders the meeting that we know, it is difficult in itself. It is certainly a good move by Blizzard to increase the challenge that this boss provokes. It is the goal to be beaten by the great brotherhoods of the High-End, Vodka, Ensidia, etc.

Here you can see a video showing how a band is razed by Algalon in a matter of a minute. It is worth noting the excellent staging of Algalon and the "spatial" details of the stage that are quite cool.

We can also enjoy some screenshots of this match that is unrivaled.

Sartharion 3D Zerg Strategy - do you dare?

These days I can't stop watching videos everywhere of Sartharion + 3 Dracos in Zerg mode. For those who do not know what it consists of, I will explain it:

  • You make a group for normal or heroic Sartharion.
  • You start the fight against Sartharion leaving the 3 Dracos alive
  • Take out Sartharion before Shadron arrives and uses his raid killer ability.

The record is 76 seconds by a Russian brotherhood and I have asked myself the following question.

How would our community do it?

Let's do it. Grab a small group of the best DPS, Tanks and Healers you know and videotape your feat. If you can upload it to Youtube, do it and send us the link and we will publish it.

sartharion_challenge

If you can't, you don't know, or you don't feel like uploading it to Youtube, you can contact me so that you can send me the video via FTP and I'll take care of uploading it.

Phase 3 of the Arenas begins

Upcoming changes in Arena Season 6

Now that Arena Season 6 is on the horizon, we want to share some details with you about the upcoming changes to the rating system in Season 0. In it, arena teams will start with a rating of 1500, instead of 1250, allowing teams to have a more continuous progression throughout the season. Additionally, we have re-evaluated the rates required to purchase the latest Arena items. For example, objects with a required index can now be obtained from an index of XNUMX.

Mimiron Head and Battle.net

Finally today, we can enjoy a video of the Mimiron head flying. Probably obtained by ending with mimiron en Ulduar.

The video is courtesy of MMO-Champion:

In addition, Blizzard presents us with its new service Battle.net . Most of the features provided by this service will already sound familiar to you if you have ever used the Blizzard store. Battle.net is a service that has been around since Warcraft II, Diablo II, and Starcraft. That way Blizzard allowed players to meet in a chat room, within the game, and then start a game together.

This integration movement also with World of Warcraft was to be expected since, not only does World of Warcraft use these services, but Starcraft II and Diablo III are waiting for them, which will soon see the light of day when they leave the Californian studios.

However, as of today, the merger of the account with World of Warcraft does not work on the European servers.

What do we achieve by merging the World of Warcraft account with Battle.net?

Classifications in the Arena Tournaments

As you know, Blizzard holds a global arena championship where players from Europe and America face off in a major tournament (divided by continents) on the PvP field.

MMO-Champion shows us a couple of graphs so that we can see the participation of the classes in the different continents.

New Raid in Winter Conquest

One of the great surprises of the new patch 3.1.0 will undoubtedly be the new raid dungeon in the pvp area of ​​Lake Wintergrasp (Wintergrasp)

new-recipes-jewelry

Professions: Jewelry, new recipes in the 3.1 PTR

New recipes for the Jewelery profession have been added in Patch 3.1 of the Trial Realms. First of all, note the new Shifting Twilight Opal that will be available from Tiffany Cartier in Dalaran.

patch31-9684

New version of the patch in the PTRs (9684)

Tonight, after maintenance on the Public Test Realms, Blizzard has given us a nueva version of patch 3.1. Specifically 9684. Does the end of the PTR seem to be nearing?

patch31-9684

Description of Tier8 bonuses added (but only for Druid y Death Knight), some of the achievements of Ulduar as well as loot updates (they are no longer Naxxramas models with new icons) and some changes to professions. We also have some new mounts and some undocumented changes that we will be bringing little by little.

gondria_beast_espiritu

New spirit beast in patch 3.1 in the PTRs

For all Master Beast Hunters we have good news.

A new species of Spirit Beast has been found in patch 3.1 in the Public Test Realms. This may ease hunting around Sholazar Basin. It's a true Spirit Beast. It is a tiger and is labeled Gondria, it is level 77 and it is a rare Elite that can be found in Zul'Drak. It is probably just as difficult to find as Loque'nahak but ... the areas where it could appear they are on the following map.

gondria_beast_espiritu

We have been able to find 3 different Gondria models, so we don't know if there will be more anywhere.

circle_of_value_closed

The Closed Circle of Valor, News from Ulduar

Reviewing the forums I find that they have deactivated the Orgrimmar Arena y The Circle of Valor due to incidents detected in the World of Warcraft.

Quote from: Bornakk (Source)

Due to some recent initiations we have deactivated the Arena of Orgrimmar, The Circle of Valor, from both the Tournament realms and the normal Realms. We are working to resolve these issues and hope to bring this arena back in Patch 3.1.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

fishing_2

New Fishing details in patch 3.1

Many fishing missions in Northrend have been included in the latest version of Patch 3.1 of the PTRs.

fishing_2

The first change we have been able to observe is a series of fishing journals in Dalaran similar to the ones we had in Outland. Trying to figure out what items we would get as quest rewards, we discovered that there are a lot of fun things aside from quests.

Patch 3.1: New weapon models and arena fixes

A few days ago we could read in MMO-Champion that they had extracted new weapon models from the game files. Today they teach us more weapons classified as PvEAlianza - PvEHorda. It is not yet known in which weapons it will be used. They look like more PvP weapons but the word PvE clearly appears in the name.

Maybe it has something to do with the Argent Tournament?

Keep in mind that these models are still being added.

kingdoms-test-patch

Patch 3.1, new update 9658

Blizzard includes a new update 9658 of the patch 3.1 across Public Test Realms. Here is a brief summary of the detected changes.

kingdoms-test-patch

Val'anyr, Hammer of the Old Kings

  • New Equip Effect - Your healing spells have a chance to inflict Blessing of Ancient Kings for 15 seconds allowing your healing spells to create a shield on your target that absorbs damage equal to 15% of the amount healed.

How does our team affect the vehicles?

Now that in Ulduar we are going to find many fights in which we will fight aboard vehicles that climb with our team, I would like to take the opportunity to explain this feature as much as possible.

After a lot of research and having been changing my gear many times (and getting on and off the bike) and doing some research around, I have managed to figure out how the vehicle scales with the quality of the gear.

Dual_Spec-wow

Taking into account that neither the shirt, nor the tabard, nor the off-hand, nor relics or ranged weapons affect. Neither do enchantments or gems, only the base level of the item is taken into account. From what I have been able to find out, a blue object with iLevel 200 is similar to an epic with level 187, that is, blue and epic objects with a difference of 13 points of iLevel are equivalent when it comes to improving / deteriorating the equipment. An empty space is the same as an epic object with iLevel 0, this means that equipping a blue with iLevel 0 in some hole is much worse.

emblems-conquest-ptr

Conquest Emblem Rewards

Some items that can be purchased with Conquest Emblems (Ulduar 25) from available vendors in the Public Trial Realms.

emblems-conquest-ptr

Arrangements with Band ID

band_id It seems that Blizzard wants to overwhelm us with the amount of content, improvements and new features that we will see in patch 3.1 for Wrath of The Lich King.

The programmers have promised to include the largest instance to date known, Ulduar, dual talents, team manager and Argent tournament just to name a few things.

We have also found that they will reduce the cooldown of the Hearthstone to just 30 minutes. We know that being able to enjoy the dual talents will cost 1000 gold coins and we even know that there will be a new legendary item.

However, today I want to tell you about another novelty that Blizzard had commented, had in mind to modify but we did not expect to find it in Patch 3.1, much less in the PTRs.
