Additional hotfixes issued for November 13
Blizzard has released the details of a second round of hotfixes today to go along with those issued earlier today, the majority of which are aimed at bottlenecks in questing and other questing issues. Highlights include: Dark Enemies: Increased spawn rates for Shadowmoon Voidmancer. [Requires a realm restart.] Gormaul Tower: (Temporary) Completion credit for the quest is automatically awarded once players reach the top of the hill. Toy Train Set has been temporarily disabled. The Shadowmoon Voidmancers were one of the earliest problematic areas in the Alliance questing experience, a bottleneck that caused a severe buildup of players last night and this afternoon. And the Toy Train Set hotfix will surely be appreciated by those stuck standing near a portal or any other bottleneck location. The full hotfixes can be found below.
WoW Moviewatch: The Achiever - The Duelist
We saw Origano's first machinima offering back in February, when he debuted with The Achiever - Rapid Defense. The video was interesting, but plagued with some soundtrack issues. However, it looks like he took that criticism to heart and is now back with the second installment, The Achiever - The Duelist.The premise is the same. The main character (self-titled as Origano) is competing in a gameshow called the Achiever. This time, however, the Tauren protagonist has to win a duel. He starts out demanding equal opponents, and proceeds to have trouble with the arrangement. I don't want to give the story away, but it's a pretty nice progression of events. I think Origano is really showing promise with his story arrangements, though it could probably move at a little faster pace.Origano's got some really good gags in here. The whole turtle lineup is pretty funny, and I love the shout out to those annoying toy trains. I think Origano's really starting to get his legs under him, and we should watch him closely to see how he grows as an artist.Previously on Moviewatch ..
Your own personal train wreck
I don't mean getting outed on Guildwatch for ninja'ing that T7 staff (no, it's still not a Hunter weapon) or cybering the guild masters girlfriend by mistake. I mean the new little beauty in the movie above that we've heard rumors of since Patch 3.1 hit the PTR late Monday night. And fresh from the Dalaran toy store, here it is, the Wind Up Train Wrecker. Just place down a train set, summon your little buddy and watch him go to work. This may very well replace the Crashin' Thrashin' Racer for miniature motorized fun. What other fun goodies await us in the coming patch, you say? How about a Spectral Tiger child's ride. Or an Argent Squire. Or consider the giant mechanical gnome head that you can fly. It's not all Titan killing in 3.1, you know. Patch 3.1 brings us Ulduar, dual specs, significant changes to all the classes, and more! We've got you covered from top to bottom with our Guide to Patch 3.1.
Jepetto Joybuzz and the Dalaran toy store
Dalaran's local toymaker, Jepetto Joybuzz, has added some new items to his stock in the last few beta patches. Each one just as overpriced as the last! His items have no real use as far as combat and stats and that sort of thing, they're just for fun. They're toys! What did you expect? Let's take a look at what he has to offer. Grindgear Toy Gorilla - This one-use summoned pet will cost you 45 silver. It emulates Egbert from Children's Week, running all over the place like his butt is aflame. He only lasts 20 seconds, then disappears. It almost feels like that's a bug, that the item should disappear because you learned it like other pets, but it doesn't seem like that's the case. The item specifically lists a cooldown, and you can buy multiples. They stack. Trusty Copper Racer - For 30 silver, you can buy this race car that looks like the goblin podracer in the Shimmering Flats. It travels 20 yards, then... disappears. With the item. Hm. This one is kind of lame.
