Entry: Crybabies win again. Saturday, June 20, 2009



Well, here are the 3.2 patch notes, and as I will detail, the crybabies won yet again. These same crybabies will eventually be the downfall of the game, because it will result in what is called narrowcasting, but I digress. Here are the gems:

1. Players will now be awarded experience for completing objectives and actions that yield honor in Battlegrounds (honorable kills not included). This is something people have cried about for years (the ultimate twink killer)...oh wait...

2. Players who do not wish to gain experience through PvP can visit Behsten in Stormwind or Slahtz in Orgrimmar - both located near the Battlemasters in either city - and turn off all experience accumulation for the cost of 10 gold. Disabling experience gains will prevent a player from gaining experience through any means available in the game. So now twinking goes on a whole new level. Soon you too will see level 19 twinks running through Icecrown without a care in the world, because it doesn't matter to them! XP is a thing of the past!

3. Wintergrasp has now become a queued battleground while retaining its status as a place on the world map. Apparently, crybabies have moaned about Laggrasp, Winterlag, and any other lag inspired notion. No more tenacity either, as Blizzard made a 100 per side cap. Try to sneak in? DENIED! So get your marks while you can before this patch hits and you only get a chance to join the fight.

4. Resilience: No longer reduces the amount of damage done by damage-over-time spells, but instead reduces the amount of all damage done by players by the same proportion. The other effects of resilience (reducing critical chance, critical damage and mana drain effects) have not changed. Now this was one of my ideas here on how to fix resilience and make it a little less of a steaming pile of doggie doo. Of course, I'd still like to see #1 on that list happen, but it's still a small victory.

5. Mounts have changed AGAIN, thus making it pointless to do the Warlock and Paladin class quests. They will be missed...terribly.

6. Seal of Blood/Martyr is now REMOVED. All the whining about SoB were for nothing at all now.

7. Finally, the obligatory Warlock nerf (because everyone cries for a Warlock nerf): Fire and Brimstone: Reduced to 2/4/6/8/10% increased damage from Incinerate and Chaos Bolt on targets afflicted with Immolate, down from 3/6/9/12/15%.
