Blue posts and other WoW news: Ghostcrawler clarification, unloved specs, warlocks, and layoff rumors

Nov 9th 2011 10:31PM (WoW)
What I will never understand is how the talent devs can create specs / talent trees that have inherent flaws; yet still release them to the public...then weeks / months later add buffs to compensate.

The very first time I found this out the hard way was raiding on my warrior during BC in Karazhan. I absolutely loved playing Arms and was astounded by the raid leaders that Arms was a shitty DPS spec. They didn't kick me from the raid grouping...but I was encouraged to investigate what I needed to do to up my numbers. For the first time I realized WoW had garbage specs / talents...and to this day I have no idea why they keep doing it.

Maybe the MoP trees are supposed to address this. I dunno. I got tired of second guessing my spec choices across a number of classes through the years whether or not my playstyle would help or hinder a 5man, raid, etc. I could've sworn the point of specs and talents were to pick what you found interesting...I'm just sayin'.

Wow. Mind. Blown.

I just really wished I could experience more meaningful in-game lore that wasn't raid only. I wanna see Yoggy so bad now.

Don't worry (or do), PS Vita will have external battery peripheral

Sep 16th 2011 11:50PM (Joystiq)
@Dcmac Which is exactly my point. Maybe the Vita will be good with time. But Sony doesn't exactly have a good track record with releasing quality products right out of the gate.

I'll wait a year.

Sorry, I cannot justify buying this at launch. One year from now...a better variation will be released that will address my current concerns with the device...

1. Lack of Internal Storage
2. Abysmal Battery Life

...or you could simply build the device from the ground up to have capable battery life...

Just a thought.

"...server communities have completely broken down. I can't remember the last time I made a new friend doing a quest or completing a dungeon, whereas in vanilla and The Burning Crusade, it was a weekly thing."

A thousand times this.

Anyhow, as a new healer looking to rise above the "snarkiness" on my server...I look forward to reading more of your class insights.

Nice to meet you.

Sweet Infant Christ! Those shoulders are full of win! Way to go on the set Blizz. So far, this set looks to be the winner of Tier 13.
