One Shots: Over Dalaran
Dalaran, ancient floating city of the mages in World of Warcraft. While many folks hate it for being twice as laggy as Shattrath ever was (at least for them) some of us like seeing what interesting things we can find out about the place. Being an explorer type, that would definitely be me. As anyone who's spent time in Dalaran knows, you can pick up vials of Underbelly Elixir in the Dalaran sewers, and one of the effects is to turn you into a firefly. In most of Dalaran, turning yourself into a firefly is a strict-no-no; the game will pop you out of form and leave you plummeting towards the ground. However, if you get the firefly form while standing just outside the Violet Citadel, it will allow you to fly straight up so you can take a World of Warcraft screenshot like this one! One Shots is in need of more screenshots, so if you've got some time while out adventuring, why not gather some up for us and send them to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com? Add your name, the game it's from - guild, server and description welcome too - and you're set! In return for your act of awesome, we'll show off your screenshot to all our readers and let them know you sent it in. %Gallery-9798%
The Queue: Shoo fly, don't bother me
Welcome back to The Queue, WoW Insider's daily Q&A column where the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Alex Ziebart will be your host today.To kick things off today, I actually wanted to add something to one of Adam's responses yesterday. Spiraea was looking for a title that would fit their Priest. Adam suggested The Immortal, but me? I'm all about the Hallowed. You can't get it until October, which makes getting your hands on it tough... but it'll be worth the wait! It's my favorite title on my Priest. When I get a new raid title I switch to that for awhile, but always go back to Hallowed.realt asked... I have a question regarding in-game voice chat (or Ventrilo). Our guild has never used voice-chat when raiding. So far we have done pretty well with clearing all 10man content, including Sartharion+1D, without it. Now we are progressing into 25man. At which point do we really need starting using voice chat you think or isn't required at all? I haven't been in many other raiding guilds besides this one so I am curious how others are handling their communication.
One Shots: A bug for fishing
In the vast wildnerness of World of Warcraft's Northrend, one can find the surprisingly beautiful city of Dalaran. We say "surprisingly" because Dalaran used to be covered in an enormous purple magical bubble, and the nearby buildings outside certainly weren't anything to look at. In this lovely area, for those who just love to fish, there's an spot under the city called the Underbelly. While roaming around there you can find Underbelly Elixir, which will mutate you into one of several things. We're not going to entirely spoil the surprise here, but One Shots reader Kilawhar sent this in to show off what can happen when drinking an elixir while fishing -- you become a giant firefly with a fishing pole!Are you into fishing in your favorite game? (We know it's not just the World of Warcraft fans who like to relax with a fishing pole!) We're curious about what you do to relax, so why not send in relaxation screens to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com! Be sure to include your name, game and a brief description of your R&R time, and we'll post it here on Massively!%Gallery-9798%
It's gettin' silly in the underbelly
Tipster Dinnerbone threw us a bone (sorry, couldn't resist) by sending us information on the starting-to-bustle Underbelly of Dalaran. Whereas old builds of the Wrath Beta saw very little in this part of the magical city, the latest build revealed little changes that indicate that the Underbelly could very well shape up to be the funner side of Dalaran.For one thing, the bottles that used to be scattered all over the place were once low-level potions but were now called Underbelly Elixirs. Drinking one -- and you really should be careful about drinking magical concoctions found discared in the sewers -- can create three known effects. One effect turns the imbiber into a wasp, which is pretty cool except that Dalaran itself is a no-fly zone and instantly zaps the user back into her original form. Using it in the Underbelly lets the player buzz around as a wasp for ten minutes, though.
