World of Warcraft - MMORPG | ||||||||||||||||||
World Of Warcraft is Blizzard's eerste Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG), dit betekent dat er duizenden mensen met en tegen elkaar tegelijk op een server spelen. De game speelt zich af 4 jaar na Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, in een totaal verwoest Azeroth. World of Warcraft heeft een volledige 3D wereld met een real life dag/nacht cycle, compleet met dungeons en grote steden. Zoals bij elke MMORPG betaal je een maandelijks bedrag zodat Blizzard de game continu kan blijven bijwerken en uiteraard omdat je dataverkeer genereert. | ||||||||||||||||||

World of Warcraft - PvP Info | ||||||||||||||||||
Je verkrijgt door middel van Honourable Kills (HK's) een PvP rank, deze loopt van 0-14. Naarmate je hoger komt in ranking krijg je ook toegang tot nieuwe items, die bij selecte vendors gekocht kunnen worden. Het systeem is echter wat ingewikkelder dan alleen maar HK's vergaren aangezien je ranking berekend wordt aan de hand van Contribution Points. En die zijn weer gebaseerd op de damage die je doet. Honourable Kills krijg je van "strategic NPC's" en van PC's (Player Characters), zolang deze tenminste "green" zijn (wat effectief betekent dat alle players tot maximaal 12 levels lager HK's zijn, alleen dan zijn het aantal HK punten wat je ervoor krijgt verwaarloosbaar). Voor meer informatie kun je kijken op de officiële site: Honor systeem en beloningen Overleven op een PvP Server Battlegrounds Part 1 Battlegrounds Part 2 Voor het verschil tussen PvE (normal) en PvP bevat dit linkje nuttige info. Meer informatie over de op dit moment aanwezige Battlegrounds vind je door 1 van de onderstaande links te volgen.

World of Warcraft - Public Test Realm Info | ||||||||||||||||||
Hier vindt je informatie over de nieuwe patch notes die er aan gaan komen, deze patch notes komen van de World of Warcraft site af. Cross-Realm Battlegrounds For the first time in the history of World of Warcraft, you will be able to face off against players from other realms in the Battlegrounds. PvP Battlegrounds link Alterac Valley, Warsong Gulch, and Arathi Basin so that players from several realms will be combined into one huge matchmaking pool. Replenish your mana, sharpen your blades, and get ready for some brand-new challengers! World PvP The stage is set for intense, objective-based land battles as Horde and Alliance vie for control over important strategic positions and resources around Azeroth. Head out for Silithus and Eastern Plaguelands to engage the enemy on the field! General Threat Reduction Effects This system has been redesigned to eliminate inconsistency in how the effects work. Previously, some were additive (for example: 30% reduction + 20% reduction = 50% reduction) while others were multiplicative (30% reduction and 20% reduction made 44% reduction, from 0.7*0.8). They are now all multiplicative. This also prevents unpredictable behavior when the total reduction percentage was equal to or greater than 100%. Haste and Slow effects Previously Haste and Slow effects worked inconsistently, with spells working differently from weapons, and hastes and slows not acting as inverses of each other. We have revised the system so that all haste and slow effects work the same way, and haste and slow percentages of the same magnitude perfectly cancel each other out (30% haste and 30% slow combine to no change). As a result, we had to change the tooltip numbers on all spell haste effects, and on all melee and range slow effects. The numbers in the tooltips are different, but the game functionality is unchanged (other than slight rounding errors). Those tooltips that changed will now display larger numbers than they used to display. Conceptually, haste values indicate how much more of that activity you can perform in a given time. 30% melee haste means 30% more swings in a given time. Slow values indicate how much longer an activity takes to complete. 30% slow means an action takes 30% longer to finish. The deserter debuff will now continue to expire even while you are offline. Druids Barkskin: The tooltip has been changed to 25% due to the haste effect change. Ferocious Bite: The Book of Ferocious Bite (Rank 5) now drops somewhere in the world. Furor: This talent now works correctly with Cat Form again. Improved Shred: The discounted cost for Shred will now be displayed correctly even when you are not in Cat Form. Rip: Lesser potency Rips will no longer overwrite greater potency ones. Hunters Spirit Bond: This ability will now be correctly reapplied when you resurrect in a battleground and your pet is polymorphed or otherwise unable to act normally. Mages Arcane Missiles: It is no longer possible to cast this spell on an evading mob. In addition, the animation will now stop when the target is dead. Arcane Power: It is no longer possible to gain the benefit of this spell and Power Infusion at the same time by careful timing. Frost Armor Chilled effect: The tooltip has been changed to 25% due to the haste effect change. Ice Armor Chilled effect: The tooltip has been changed to 25% due to the haste effect change. Polymorph: This spell will now be removed when a player leaves a battleground. This prevents some bugs involving polymorph from occurring. Evocation will no longer be usable while silenced. Paladins Divine Shield: The tooltip has been changed to 100% due to the haste effect change. Priests Mind Control: The tooltip has been changed to 25% due to the haste effect change. Psychic Scream: This spell now uses the same resistance checks as the Warlock spell Fear. Rogues Due to significant talent changes, Rogues will have all talent points refunded and can be re-spent. Training costs for all talent spell replacements have been significantly reduced. Eviscerate: Manual of Eviscerate (Rank 9) now drops somewhere in the world. Garrote: The damage from this ability has been increased approximately 50%. Relentless Strikes: This ability will no longer trigger when your finishing move does not hit your target. Sap: Enemy rogues will now always lose stealth when you Sap them. Shaman Grounding Totem: This totem will no longer absorb multiple effects from Entrapment in a 10 second period. Windfury Totem: The weapon enchantment from this totem will now only trigger off normal melee swings. This means abilities such as Sinister Strike, Mortal Strike, and Hamstring will no longer trigger the Windfury Totem. Reincarnation should now display the cooldown timer when used. Chain Heal - After the initial target is healed, the healing effect will jump to the most damaged target (by absolute health) within range. In addition, if a raid member is the initial target it will look for valid raid targets to jump to rather than non-raid targets as a priority, making it consistent with group targeted Chain Heals. Warlocks Cripple (Doomguard): The tooltip has been changed to 45% due to the haste effect change. Enslave Demon: The tooltip has been changed to 40% due to the haste effect change. Health Funnel: This spell will now work correctly on low-level enslaved demons. Howl of Terror: This spell now uses the same resistance checks as the Warlock spell Fear. Siphon Life will now properly gain a benefit from Shadow Mastery. Warriors Flurry: The text on the tooltip has been corrected to indicate it triggers on all types of attacks. Shield Slam: This ability will sometimes no longer remove more than one beneficial effect from the target. Sword Specialization: This ability can no longer trigger off of itself. Items +30 Spell Damage Enchantment: Fixed a bug with this enchantment which was preventing it from benefiting healing spells. Blade of Eternal Darkness: The triggered effect from this weapon will no longer occur when the spell being cast has its effect broken by causing damage. Blazefury Medallion: The triggered effect from this item will no longer break Gouge. Bonescythe Armor: The Eviscerate bonus will no longer trigger when your Eviscerate does not hit your target. Darkmoon Card- Twisting Nether: The dialog for this resurrection will now always reappear after the Spirit of Redemption effect has completed. Eye of the Dead: Holy Shock now interacts properly with this item. Ranged Elemental Damage: Our ranged combat system does not allow a ranged weapon to do a mix of Elemental (Fire, Frost, Arcane, etc.) and Physical damage. Many ranged weapons existed which were listed as doing Elemental damage and did not function properly (the damage was dealt, but was treated as Physical). All of those weapons have been changed to deliver the Elemental damage as a chance on hit effect. Hurricane was previously changed this way in 1.11. The following ranged weapons are also fixed in 1.12: Bow of Searing Arrows, Dwarven Hand Cannon, Heartseeking Crossbow, Dark Iron Rifle, Galgann's Fireblaster, Quillshooter, Shell Launcher Shotgun, Venomstrike, and Verdant Keeper's Aim. Talisman of Ascendance: This item will no longer trigger from physical damage effects. In addition, if either of the buffs from the item are cancelled, they will both be cancelled. Zandalarian Hero Charm: Item tooltip corrected to match the effect tooltip. The Items that summon mounts have been changed in their color/quality. Items that summon normal mounts are now blue(superior)items and items that summon swift mounts are now purple(epic) items. Fixed a bug that allowed you to use items which restored health or mana while you were already full health or mana. Fixed a bug with the Jom Gabbar trinket which was causing it to trigger a category cooldown for a duration longer than intended. Fixed a bug that prevented Arcane Missiles from being able to trigger the effect of Wrath of Cenarius. Clarified the tooltips for the Stormshroud armor and Kalimdor's Revenge to explain that they deal Nature damage. Fixed a bug that caused the Blooddrenched Mask to hide a character's hair. Warbear leather now stacks to 20. Professions Engineering: The damage from sapper charges can now be resisted. The overall DPS of the charges should not be significantly altered from what it currently is. Engineering: Explosive sheep do fire damage instead of physical damage. Raids and Dungeons Uldaman Reduced the number of Shadowforge Ambushers that attack after looting the quest chest. Shadowforge Ambushers are no longer elite. The respawn of the Stone Stewards has been changed to 2 hours (from 30 minutes). Zul'Farrak The respawn of the 2 Troll/1 Basilisk patrollers should now be 2 hours. Reduced the damage dealt by the Sul'lithuz Abomination and Sul'lithuz Sandcrawler. Zul'Farrak Dead Heroes are no longer elites. Theka the Martyr will now only remain immune to physical damage for 30 seconds before reverting to normal. Antu'sul's Sul'lithuz Broodlings now only hatch 4 at a time and are significantly weaker. Witch Doctor Zum'rah will no longer call as many Zul'Farrak Zombies to his aid when aggroed. Weegli Blastfuse now has slightly more hit points. Antu'sul's Warden no longer attempts to knock adventurers into Antu'sul's lair. Sandfury Cretins who engage the party during the pyramid event are no longer able to cast shadow bolt. Maraudon Noxxious Scions will no longer spawn when you cleanse Celebrian Vines. User Interface V key functionality has been improved in several ways.
The Need Before Greed and Group Loot countdown timers will now have a 3 minute countdown when there is a bind on acquire item on the corpse. This should allow a bit more time in making a decision to roll for an item. Automatic Quest Tracking has been added to the game and is turned on by default. Any time you advance a quest by advancing one of the requirements, the quest information will appear on your screen for 5 minutes before fading. You can turn this option off from the options screen. There is now a confirmation dialogue when you attempt to disband your guild. Bug Fixes Fixed a bug that caused some non-combat pets to be referred to as Minions instead of Pets. Mini Diablo however has escaped this fate and will continue to be referred to as a Minion. | ||||||||||||||||||
World of Warcraft - Burning Crusade Info | ||||||||||||||||||
Op 28 oktober 2005 is de expansion aangekondigd voor World of Warcraft. Meer informatie is hier te vinden. De FAQ van de Burning Crusade kan je hier nalezen.
Several years have passed since the Burning Legion's defeat at Mount Hyjal and the races of Azeroth have continued to rebuild their once shattered lives. With renewed strength, the heroes of the Horde and Alliance have begun to explore new lands and broken through the Dark Portal to investigate the realms beyond the known world. Will these heroes find friends or foes? What dangers and rewards lie in wait beyond the Dark Portal? And what will they do when they discover that the demons they thought vanquished have returned to renew their terrible Burning Crusade? World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade is the exciting new expansion to Blizzard's award-winning massively multiplayer online role-playing game. It expands the game by tremendous bounds, adding new races, lands, Battlegrounds, professions and items, and more. Here is just a partial list of what you can expect from the World of Warcraft expansion:

World of Warcraft - DKP Info | ||||||||||||||||||
DKP staat voor Dragon Kill Points. Dit is een systeem dat er voor zorgt dat de loot in high level instances/dungeons een beetje "eerlijk" verdeeld wordt. Wanneer je meedoet aan een 'raid' verdien je punten (bv per boss kill of per uur). Wanneer er een item dropped dat meerdere mensen graag willen hebben dan kan men op dat item DKP punten bieden. De hoogste bieder wint. Een aantal handige links vind je hier: EQDKP, Een site waar je het DKP systeem kan downloaden, en naar eigen wens aan kan passen. Klik hier voor wat voorbeeldjes op sites die het al gebruiken. DKP voorbeelden: Voorbeeld 1 Voorbeeld 2 Voorbeeld 3 Voorbeeld 4 | ||||||||||||||||||

Europe: - Over 290,000 account creations and 180,000 peak concurrency in its first weekend. - Over 500,000 active subscribers, and 230,000 peak concurrency to date. Korea: - The most successful 100-day launch of any MMORPG in Korean history since its commercial release on January 18, 2005. - World of Warcraft is currently played in 75% of Korean Internet Game Rooms (IGRs), the primary venue for playing games in Korea. IGRs subscribe directly to MMORPGs and then players buy blocks of time from the IGRs for game time. North America: - Over 200,000 subscribers and 100,000 peak concurrency achieved in the game's first 24 hours. - Current subscriber base of over 800,000 players.
Selachii's playerbase is speciaal voor GoT gemaakt, en hier kan je je (nieuwe) character reggen, zodat we een beetje in de gaten kunnen houden wie waar zit en hoever iedereen is Ook kan je op Allakhazam je profile uploaden en vergelijken met andere mensen die dit ook doen op je server. Thottbot biedt dezelfde mogelijkheid ook maar loopt erg achter met het updaten van profiles, bij Allakhazam is dit niet het geval. Yup. We hebben een erg gezellig en druk bezocht IRC channel. We zitten op irc.tweakers.net #wow (of klik hier om te joinen). WoW lust graag een extra reepje geheugen, vooral in drukke gebieden (Raids, Auction House), 1024MB wordt hierom sterk aanbevolen, en is de upgrade vanaf 512MB dik waard. Ook een snelle (gedefragmenteerde) harde schijf draagt bij aan het speelplezier. | ||||||||||||||||||
World of Warcraft - Betalingsmogelijkheden | ||||||||||||||||||
Maandelijkse Kosten
Om een account aan te maken moet je -altijd- een creditcard of gamecard nummer invoeren! Do I need to enter credit card information to register an account? When registering an account to play the game you will have to choose one of the available payment methods. If none of the alternative payment methods apply, you would be required to use the credit card option. Zoals bij elke MMORPG gebruikelijk is zal dit maandelijkse bedrag gebruikt worden voor het onderhoud van de servers en het spel zelf. Het heeft geen zin om daar in dit topic over te gaan discussieren, die discussie is al vele malen gevoerd en het maandelijkse bedrag verdwijnt er echt niet mee. Wordt er zelfs niet eens lager van. Heel veel plezier (met z'n vieren) maar begin er niet over in dit topic aangezien dit niet gewenst is en Blizzard deze servers als illegaal ziet. http://www.gotwow.net | ||||||||||||||||||

Maintenance | ||||||||||||||||||
Er is elke Woensdag maintenance, deze duurt in principe van 05:00u tot 11:00u, op patch days is dit van 03:00u tot 11:00u, echter loopt dit nog wel eens uit, of zijn er opstartproblemen. Het heeft echter geen enkele zin om hier 100 posts te hebben met "OMFG ik kan nog steed niet spelen, AAAARGH!". Dit is nu eenmaal zo, en zal het elke woensdag zijn, en hierover klagen heeft geen enkele zin! Ga daarom op woensdag er ook niet over lopen te klagen, over de downtime! | ||||||||||||||||||
Overige dingen | ||||||||||||||||||
In elk topic komt het weer voor, en ik denk dat we er met zijn allen wel genoeg van hebben zo ondertussen: De flames op een bepaald persoon, het in de grond stampen van een bepaalde class, of juist iets anders. Probeer dit zoveel mogelijk te vermijden, het is niet leuk als een modje het hier recht moet komen zetten. Wij tweakers zijn oud(en hopelijk wijs) genoeg om dit zelf wel in de hand te kunnen houden. Dus houd het een beetje netjes. dit staat er sinds deel 80 |
