Another joke from Blizzard is the Horadric Cube app for your smart phone. Its not funny really. Its just a Diablo 2 referance. us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2568253#blogCrabby is on that page though. If you close enough of his dialogue boxes he says "Did you know that the art of blogging goes all the way back to the ancient crustaceans of the Jurassic period? It's true!" which is an interesting fact I did not know. Oh and here are some patch notes. My favorite is Vashj’ir is now 20% more disorienting. us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/topic/2325684862And a new 5 man dungeon. Again, not as funny. But check out the map of the new dungeon. The right side of it anyways. Its gonna be rough getting to that boss in the dark. XD us.battle.net/wow/en/game/dungeon/tomb-of-immortal-darkness

I don't know if I agree with this. Having two separate currency sets is kind of the point of having two different methods of playing (PvE and PvP). The very first response on the subject hits the money. Why bother even having two sets of currencies if you can just trade them in for each other? I think the system the way it is now is perfect and does not need altering in any way. The ONLY thing good about this for me is I will be able to obtain my Boomkin heirloom chest piece. Its the only PvE heirloom I did not get back in Wrath. At least this way I can do my BG's, trade in my honor for justice and get the chest. And I suppose I can gear up for PvP faster by doing a daily Heroic for Valor to be traded in for Conquest. But....eh. I dunno. I don't really like this.
Here is what I would do. Make it so you can purchase the higher end version of each currency with a large amount of its lower end version. For example you can buy 25 Conquest/Valor Points for 2500 Honor/Justice Points (respectively). Maybe not THOSE exact numbers but something like it.

I like the change, only because I would rather PvP than PvE. I'd rather grind BGs than dungeons to get heirloom items.
I'm a little pissed that they waited until I quit. But, oh well.

Well I guess it will be there should you ever decide to come back. Update for me I guess. My Priest and my Warrior are as decked out in PvP gear as they can be at the time. I am working on getting my Warlock to 85 (just started that tonight) and then getting him a full set. I like Warlock.

I am surprised this wasn't done on April 1st. I can understand updating the models of the demons. Just like how they updated the Druid forms (which was a bad ass idea) but male or female demons? Hmmm. You never see female anything in Outland except maybe for the 4 armed lady. But you can't summon her. :/

Being able to summon a shivaran would be kick ass.
I'd cry April Fool's on this, but it's a full 2 weeks after the holiday.
Sorta scary to think they are serious. I'm dying to see the new designs!

I did some Arena today with a fellow guild mate. We were Disc Priest and Fire Mage. It was my first time doing Arena. I did some with Kik back during BC but I was so horrible back then. Kik and I won only one game back then. We won five today and lost four. The four we lost we could have won but I made some rookie mistakes that will be easily fixed as I get a better feel for it. Arena is quite a bit different than BGs but I had a lot of fun. Our five wins got us a 480 rating an 1343 Conquest Points. That 1343 CP in ONE day as opposed to 25 a day from doing the daily BG. Amazing! I had a lot of fun. We will be continuing this next week when it resets.

Patch 4.1 is out and it brings back some classic raids as 5 man heroics. Zul'Gurub from vanilla and Zul'Aman from The Burning Crusade. trailer: I will try them soon. I want to get Raylu back into some PvE just so I can exchange my Valor Points for Conquest Points. That and 4.2 is the release of tier 12 content and I will be able to get tier 11 with Justice Points. ;D Speaking of tier 12 they have a preview of the sets. us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2705803#blogPaladin looks more like Warlock but I like it either way. Death Knight looks like it belongs in FFXI as Dragoon AF. Priest looks fine except for the shoulders. I have mixed feelings about shoulder pads in this game. They really add to the look and feel of plate and mail sets but cloth they usually look a little weird. Priest T12 is a good example of that. XD

Rogues is...ok...I guess. Better than space genie or whatever the fuck tier 11 was. I sort of want to check patch 4.1 out, but I just can't play two games at once.

They all look the same to me. Just different colors. Priest makes me think of Samus though.

I sorta like mage's, but again, it's like... a genie. PLD needs to get out of the mandress already. All the others are meh. WTF is the head piece for hunter supposed to be? Why do they insist on giving hunters another head, instead of a helmet? >.<
