Blizzard Developer/CM chat

[sneek]

A popular gaming site in the States managed to get a few key spokespersons from Blizzard together to chat about WoW and to fire a few questions at em.

One of the sites hosting a transcript of this devchat of sorts is Curse-Gaming.com.

Few interesting tidbits in there;
- Tiger and pantherboss and "pwnage".
- Encounters that cannot be tanked by warriors (blasphemy!).
- PoW has had easymode with Nefarian.
- Dispel Magic? Move along, citizen. Nothing to see here.
- Mage Revamp? Move along, citizen. Here, have an icon.

Actually, the Bloodlord was intended to be harder than he currently is... because he too is optional

They want to make the Lootlord harder?

- Encounters that cannot be tanked by warriors (blasphemy!).

Hehe, the official warriors board will be a fun read come the day of this statement. It seems to be a touchy subject already.

"a:There's actually a gnome backstory in place. Gnomeregan used to be their home city. When the Trogg invasion began, they tried to develop a weapon of mass destruction and failed. Instead of nuking the Troggs, they nuked themselves! =["

Excellent!

Well, most warriors can't tank anyway, so no big deal I guess (no offense to our capable SM/Odium meatbags).

xen the bloodlord in ZG is easy what are you talking about?


i wouldnt mid if they tweaked that encounter a bit ^^ he would still go down fast enough.

[Morlog]

depends on who ZG really is for, as extra candy for thoose clearing out MC or a guild thats farmed UBRS and gotten every epic dropp there is in there but cant or dont want to ally with another guild for MC

atm it caters a bit to both even if theres not a lot of usefull dropps in there since were all so geared up.

im using ZG as a way to get pvp gear since i exclusivly spend my dkp on tanking gear in all the other instances. imo its a good instance as it is

That's why he should stay easy, if he was hard he wouldn't be a lootlord anymore.
