TalentChic, the site that displays the most popular talent specs based on Armory data, has updated to reflect the most popular builds for patch 3.1.

Free play-time given for server trouble

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, News items
If you’re one of the people who tried to play this past Tuesday, you experienced the same thing as the rest of us. The servers, they were just plain dead. Even since then, the instances and world servers have been a little less than friendly. This was all to [...]

Flawless Victor title removed in Patch 3.1

Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Arena, Achievements

With stealthiness worthy of an Arashikage, Blizzard removed the Flawless Victor title granted by the Achievement Hot Hot Hot Streak, along with the Achievement itself in Patch 3.1. This tiny little ‘inconvenience’ was conveniently left out of the patch notes, surprising many players who logged in to the puzzling [...]

Around Azeroth: Quake with fear, you tiny fools

Filed under: Screenshots, Around Azeroth, Galleries

We’ve gotten a lot of pictures from patch-related craziness lately. In this shot, Robert’s fight against Archavon was interrupted by an instance server crash.
