Cataclysm Beta (Build 12604) 3D Models Added!
Yet another update to the Cataclysm Beta!
Here's a few more 3D models for you guys - most notable new additions include some amazing seahorses (mounts?!?!) and some extremely interesting new Grim Batol objects! I don't care what anybody else says, those seahorses are some of the best looking models to ever hit the game, hands down. Of course, if we do discover any more cool new models, we'll be sure to keep the blog updated - c'mon Blizzard, one-up the seahorses! You can check out all of our previous model posts filed under the

Cataclysm: Mount Hyjal and Vashj'ir Level Changes
In the next beta build it seems Blizzard is changing the minimum level requirement for entering both
瓦丝琪尔
and
海加尔山
. The quests which allow entrance into the two new zones will be available at level 80, not level 78 as it was previously set at. You will also need to be level 80 to enter
潮汐王座
or
黑石岩窟
Along with this change mob health is getting double for all 80+ Cataclysm creatures. So a mob that had 16,400 HP now has 31,000 HP!
So now that you've heard these changes, how does the community feel about them?
In the next beta build the minimum level for entering and questing in Mount Hyjal and Vashj’ir will change from level 78 to level 80. All associated creature will have their levels increased to match the new flow.
Additionally, after careful review and consideration we've decided to increase the hit point values of level 80+ Cataclysm creatures. The new hit point values are roughly double their previous values.
Level 80 (OLD)
16400

The "Editors of Azeroth" Podcast—From the Folks at the WoW Official Magazine!
Those of us with the
World of Warcraft Official Magazine
genuinely love community. Whether it's through forums or face to face conversations, we thrive on feedback, questions, and interaction with our readers. Sadly, here in the world of publishing time can be scarse, and while I'm able to peruse the forums out here on a regular basis, the Editor-in-Chief
Marty Cortinas

Julian Rignall
find themselves relatively unable to do so (hence the low post counts).
So, in lieu of them being active forum monkeys like me we've started up

The BFF Report Welcomes You to the Future...?
When I first walked in the door at E3, there was this super attractive young lady (shocker, right?) who took my hand and escorted me over to this giant, baby food orange booth. She likely picked me because of my incredible aura of masculinity, and not because Dolby was standing right behind me sporting a super giant news camera, amirite? She dropped a funky PS3'esque controller into my, now sweaty, palm and introduced me to the future of gaming. Sort of..
You guys ever heard of this fancy "cloud computing" technology that allows you to access documents from virtually any computer terminal? Well, replace those silly DPS calculators with games and you have OnLive. The game I was playing was not hosted by any console or gaming PC anywhere in the vicinity, but rather being streamed, live, over the interwebs, to the giant LCD TV in front of me. The first thing that came to mind was "LOLOLLOLatency," but after ninja tapping the controller a few times...

ZAM's TERA Online Site Live
I don't know how many of you follow other MMOs—I know that I can't imagine really playing more than one at a time. But there are two coming up in the near future that I'm actually really excited about—BioWare's
The Old Republic
, and
TERA Online
.
TERA is exciting to me, partially because of the art style but mostly because of the gameplay. It's calling itself an "Action RPG", which in practical terms means that it deals with the most basic interface problem in all MMOs—the fact that most basic combat just involves standing still and deciding what order to push your buttons in. In TERA you actually have to
move out of the way
when people shoot at you. If you're firing a bow, you actually need to
hit
your target. The combat has sort of a next-generation
Secret of Mana
feel to it.
So this seems like a perfect time, then, to point out that ZAM has their
TERA site
up! If you're interested in following news about this game as well, or in following/updating our wiki, come and take a look!

Cataclysm Beta: How to Log In Again
If you woke up this morning and
still
weren't able to log into the Cataclysm Beta, you weren't alone. As it turns out, Blizzard tweaked their login server but the tweak didn't exactly take effect. You'll need to tweak your install slightly before you can log in again:
Hi guys,
We've made some changes to the login server, however these changes didn't quite stick. You will not be able to login without doing the following:
Before you start, please make sure the WoW beta client is not open.
1. Navigate to the following folder in your beta install.
~\Data\enUS**
2. Open up your realmlist.wtf file with a text editing document.
3. Change the "set portal public-beta" line to "set portal public-test"
4. Save this change.
At this point you should be able to login normally.
**This folder will differ depending on which language you installed WoW Beta with. For example if you have a German install, the folder will be deDE.
If you still have issues with logging in please post here!
Thanks guys and sorry for the inconv

Icecrown Citadel Raid Buff Up to 30%
With today's maintenance the zone wide buff for has finally reached a staggering
30%
bonus to damage, healing, and health (see
地狱咆哮的战歌
and
乌瑞恩之力
).
As with every increase we've seen in the past this should give some guilds still struggling with encounters that little extra needed push and guilds who are experienced will get an easier time. It should also be noted this is the final increase to the buff so don't expect another 5% to be tacked on again in a month!
As always, you can turn this buff off at anytime if you feel like trying the encounter in its most difficult form.

Throne of the Tides Impressions
About couple of weeks ago I posted
blog
about how one of the new Cataclysm dungeons, Blackrock Caverns, felt. If you are interested in it, go ahead and take a look - I found it a pretty cool instance. Not as cool as the one I am about to present to you here and now though. You can read my shorter description
here
.
The Throne of the Tides is an 82-84 dungeon, supposedly the second one in the Abyssal Maw - the first one still unnamed and with 0 info about it. If you follow the normal quest flow, you will find the entrance to this dungeon during your last quest in Vashj'ir, after a colossal battle featuring Neptulon the Tidehunter himself. As you approach the giant whirlpool beneath Vashj'ir, you get sucked in, everything swirls around you, and - tadaaa - you drop in the elemental realm of water. Pretty cool looking place, by the way. But let's talk content now!

If you don't already know what Guild Perks are here is a brief explanation. When you create a new guild (or Cataclysm happens and you're in one) you are able to level up the guild much like you level your player character. As your guild levels up you gain new perks, 25 in all, some are simple like

July 16 Twitter #BlizzChat Developer Chat Transcript
The
#BlizzChat
developer chat on Twitter just ended, and we have a recap of all the questions that were answered below.
Q:
Will all mage specs be competitive in PvP & PvE?
A:
Want them to all be almost equal, want players to play as Frost because they like Frost.
Q:
Mastery no longer in Talent Pane how does it work?
A:
You'll gain a new ability from class train at 75 for the Mastery stat that will allow the mastery rating to affect the bonus.
Q:
Druid forms off the cooldown like Warrior Stances?
A:
Not at this time.
Q:
Ret pallies using spell plate?
A:
This would require a lot of weird solutions and could make Ret too powerful of a healer.
Q:
Account-wide achievements?
A:
Something we want to do but technically challenging. No promises.
Q:
Healer talents to regen mana by doing damage?
A:
Intentional, healers should now be able to do "some" damage when not healing in Cataclysm.

Answers to Common Community Questions About Real ID
The Real ID system, which we were introduced to a little while ago, was one of the most controversial things Blizzard has done in a long time. The feedback from the community varied from extremely negative to extremely positive, with all the points in-between. Not only has the community been divided in its opinions, but it has been quite vocal with them as well. Just a little while ago a post appeared on the official Battle.net StarCraft II blog; in it Blizzard answers common questions and addresses concerns about the Real ID functionality, features, and plans.

New Talent Calculator Interface
We've updated our
Cataclysm Talent Calculator
to accommodate the new in-game interface!
Now, when you load up the talent calc, you'll be taken automatically to a screen like the one at the right here. This gives you the run-down of the individual talent trees (the same one you get in the in-game interface), as well as letting you "choose a specialization". Just like in-game, choosing a specialization will lock you into that tree until you've spent 31 points there.
There are still a few bugs to work out
, and a few problems with Blizzard's data, but we figured you'd want the chance to play with it while we're working out the kinks. Don't forget you can use the button in the bottom right to switch between the "talent tree" view and the "summary" view!
If you're curious about the changes to the new Cataclysm talent system, we ran them all down in a
previous blog
, but here's the gist of it:
Talent trees have shrunk. They're now only seven tiers deep. You still need 5 points to move to the next tier, but (so far) no talent has a maximum of more than three.
