The Minster of Information Speaks on WOW

For those that don't know who he is, this is Baghdad Bob, and now he's offically letting us all know the big question about Blizzard's World of Warcraft Beta. See for yourself here.

Update to Phryer Tuck

Well I knew I could make a better version. Its longer and should work better on a site. All I need now is some better face in the background, like an ingame shot of an Undead Warlock. Guess that will have to wait.

Phryer Tuck

I just made a nice little sig. Not sure if I totally like it, bit I'll post it just for fun. Maybe once I can get some good screenshots I'll put a better headshot in there and pimp it out some more. Its kinda square now and I'd like it a little longer and thiner to work as a real good sig file.

Gen Con Review on WOW Vault

If you havn't read it yet my article is up on WOW Vault. Here's a snippit.

Pets - We saw an Undead Warlock get his first level pet quest. It involved killing five Skeletons and then returning back to the NPC. Once you finished the quest, a pet icon showed up on your quickbar and in your spell book. Once summoned, a second smaller quick bar showed up just above your main one. This allows you to command the pet. For example, you can make your pet attack a targeted creature without having to attack it yourself first. Also, your pet can learn more spells and it levels up with you. You can't name your pet, but the Imp a first level Warlock gets was super kewl. All the screenshots don't do it justice. With his pet the Warlock was killing the same Skeletons in half the time. Also the Imp moved back out of combat when the Skeleton was meleeing the player. Since the Imp is not a tank, the AI was smart enough to make the Imp move out of harm's way as he nuked from range. I have to say pet AI was really important to me and it looked very good.

You can find the rest of the article and 26 screenshots here.

A few more pictures from Gen Con

Warcry has some pictures up. You can see me looking at my camera wearing a backpack. Also all the gnome pictures are when I was playing a Gnome.

I have more pictures from Gen Con, but there going to be in my article on WOW Vault. But here are a few more for anyone that is reading my blog.

Gen Con info

Well I just looked at all the picture I got from Gen Con and I can't wait to post them, but I'll put them on WOW Vault so their bandwidth takes the hit. Here's one just to tease people.

As for all the reports I'd say read them all and take everything with a grain of salt. I've seen a few posts claiming they know whats going to be in release, but I was told everything is still up in the air.
