For Randy: Hallow's Eve Link List

The following guide is a repost from wow.com. The links are also provided for all achievement for this year's Hallow's End Event. Happy Trick or Treating.


Trick or Treat

This is relatively easy. All you need to do is visit one of the many inns across Azeroth or Outland. These are the same inns where you set your Hearthstone, so that you can build rest XP during downtime. You simply talk to the innkeep, choose "Trick or Treat!" and get a prize.

Now, granted, you won't get a handful of candy every time. You get a debuff which keeps you from Trick or Treating more than once an hour, and you'll need to let that fade. But this Trick or Treat dynamic is going to be pretty important -- you'll want to collect magic wands during the duration of the event.

Out With It

As you collect candy, there becomes an obvious and inevitable activity to be done with it all. That is to say, as any good 6 year old will tell you, stuff as much as possible in your happy little face, all at once, until you become absolutely sick to your stomach.

The six year old was right, and this achievement proves it. Once you've successfully gathered enough candy, eat it all at once. When your character pukes up all that sugary goodness due to an Upset Tummy, the Out With It achievement is granted.

Bring Me The Head of ... Oh Wait.

This is probably my favorite achievement title of all time. To obtain Bring Me The Head of... Oh Wait, you need to go to the Scarlet Monastery and enter the Graveyard. About halfway through, you'll see a small altar and pumpkin. Interact with the objects there in order to summon the Headless Horseman. The Headless Horseman will appear. Kill him to receive the achievement.

The Headless Horseman fight isn't the most difficult thing ever, although we can't guarantee his loot table has been updated yet. He's basically a tank and spank. Every so often, his head will fly off his body. Kill the head. Then, when the head and body rejoin, kill the body. Repeat until he's dead. The head can be a little difficult to target, though, which probably is the most difficult part of the fight.

Edit: We now know his loot table - you can find information about it in this post.

The Savior of Hallow's End

Every hour, the Headless Horseman will attack one of your faction's starting zones. You get quests from the Orphan Matrons, who beg you to stop him. In order to complete the quest, your goal is to put out the fires -- not to actually kill the Horseman. You'll have an easier time of it if your faction mates lend a hand, so it's best to get this achievement done early, when everyone else is also trying to get it done.

That Sparking Smile

If you dutifully trick or treat every hour, you will eventually be granted a toothpick. In order to get this achievement, use the toothpick. Voila, finished.

Rotten Hallow

Rotten Hallow is a little more difficult, but not amazingly so. It's a little different depending on whether you're Horde or Alliance. You've got to go to the Hillsbrad Foothills, and complete either the Horde or Alliance seasonal quests there. It all revolves around stink bombs (or fresh pine air fresheners), and whether or not the Horde get to burn a wicker man.

G.N.E.R.D. Rage

I've heard more complaints about G.N.E.R.D. Rage than any other Hallow's End achievement. It mostly revolves around whether you're comfortable hanging out in the battlegrounds for long periods of time. Essentially, one of the types of candies you'll receive in the trick or treat spree are G.N.E.R.D.s. While sporting the buff from this candy, your task will be to kill 50 players of the opposing factions. It's easiest to do this in the BGs, where you can kind of hang back and let the HKs flow in.

Check Your Head

Weighted Jack-o'-Lanterns drop from the Headless Horseman, which means killing him regularly will make your life easier. The good news is that since we're all hanging out in Dalaran nowadays, it'll be easy to scout out all the folks you need.

The Masquerade

The ultimate point of Hallow's End is to dress up in costumes. The various wands that let you take on costumes are a gift from trick or treating. You'll need to find other folks who have already gotten their wands, and ask them to hit you with their wands. Once you've gotten all the costumes listed, you're granted The Masquerade achievement.

Sinister Calling

This is the most difficult Hallow's End achievement, since both the Sinister Squashling and the Hallowed Helm drop from the Horseman. You'll have to kill him often enough to have the items drop and win the roll to get the items.

Tricks and Treats of Azeroth

Easy! Simply hit all the inns included in the sub-achievements. This'll supply you most of the items you need in order to get the other achievements, and might get you a bit closer to Explorer along the way.

Summary

Ultimately, the Hallow's End achievements can be alot of work. While they aren't individually too much trouble, they all add up to a couple busy weeks for you. But if you keep it up, you'll utimately become The Hallowed.

This is also posted @ Bum-Spot.

The forthcoming World of Warcraft expansion is now unveiled (has it been that long since WotLK already? QQ) and the changes presented will bring us back to the places that made us all fall in love with WoW in the first place- Azeroth. Along with the redesign of the old world are loads of other very awesome changes including new race and class combination which if I am not mistaken includes a gnome priest in the trailer embedded below. Now that is mega-awesome! Well mini-awesome because it's a gnome but whatever.

Here are the rest of the changes as posted in the WoW website.

Two New Playable Races: Goblins and Worgen (wootage)
Level to 85 in Azeroth’s Most Ancient Territories (what only 5 levels?)
The Classic World Made New
New Starting Zones
Guild Advancement Feature
New Race and Class Combinations (3x woot)
New Secondary Profession: Archaeology
Mastery System
Azeroth: Flying the Unfriendly Skies (2x woot)
More Dungeon and Raid Content than Ever Before
Rated Battlegrounds and New PvP Feats

The video below is pretty meh but I am expecting that they'd come up with a better one on the onset of the actual expansion. But hey a peek is a peek and we all like a taste test.

World of Warcraft Movie Update


After years of unconfirmed reports of a World of Warcraft movie, Blizzard Entertainment finally inked a deal with Legendary Pictures to produce the much anticipated live-action film based on the Warcraft Universe to de directed by Spiderman and Drag Me to Hell auteur, Sam Raimi.

Blizzard.com reports:

LOS ANGELES, Calif. July 22, 2009 -- Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. and Legendary Pictures announced today that Sam Raimi has signed on to direct the eagerly-anticipated major motion picture based on Blizzard Entertainment®’s award-winning Warcraft® universe. Raimi has, in the course of his career, clearly demonstrated a genius for developing and adapting existing fictional universes for mainstream audiences while staying true to the spirit of the original content.
Raimi directed the Spider-Man trilogy, which has broken box-office records around the world and garnered five Academy Award® nominations. Known for his imaginative filmmaking style, richly drawn characters and offbeat humor, Raimi wrote and directed the cult classic, The Evil Dead and produced 30 Days Of Night. He most recently wrote and directed the supernatural thriller, Drag Me To Hell.

"At its core, Warcraft is a fantastic, action-packed story," said Raimi. "I am thrilled to work with such a dynamite production team to bring this project to the big screen."

Charles Roven’s producing talents were recently seen with last summer’s blockbuster The Dark Knight, which grossed in excess of $1 billion, was nominated for eight Academy Awards® and won two. His body of work also includes the widely acclaimed Batman Begins and the sci-fi classic 12 Monkeys. Roven, with Atlas producing partner Alex Gartner, will be producing with Legendary Pictures CEO Thomas Tull, Legendary’s Chief Creative Officer Jon Jashni, Raimi and Raimi’s producing partner Joshua Donen. Raimi’s partner, Robert Tapert, will be an Executive Producer and Blizzard Entertainment’s Senior Vice President of Creative Development, Chris Metzen, a Co-Producer.

"Partnering with Sam Raimi exemplifies Legendary's mandate of marrying the highest quality intellectual property to world-class filmmakers" said Legendary’s Tull. "Sam's passion for 'Warcraft' is undeniable and we know that he will create an incredible film worthy of Blizzard's phenomenal franchise. We look forward to collaborating with our partners at Warner Bros. and continuing our successful relationship with Chuck in bringing this rich new world to the screen."

"Blizzard Entertainment and Legendary Pictures have a shared vision for this film and we searched at length to find the very best director to bring that vision to life," said Paul Sams, chief operating officer of Blizzard Entertainment. "From our first conversation with Sam, we could tell he was the perfect choice. Sam knows how to simultaneously satisfy the enthusiasts and the mainstream audience that might be experiencing that content for the first time. We're looking forward to working with him to achieve that here."

"Blizzard Entertainment’s Warcraft has become a second home for millions of players and Sam’s experience and talent make him the perfect director for this remarkable and action-packed world," said Atlas’ Roven. "Alex and I are proud to be working with Sam and re-teaming with our friends at Legendary and Warner Bros."

The film will fall under Legendary Pictures’ co-production and co-financing deal with Warner Bros. "Warcraft is emblematic of the kind of branded, event films for which our studio is best known. We have enjoyed great success with our partners at Legendary, and this is an incredible opportunity for us to work with Sam on a project that is so eagerly anticipated by so many," said Jeff Robinov, President, Warner Bros. Pictures Group.

Blizzard Entertainment’s Warcraft universe is a rich fantasy setting that revolves around the epic conflict between the opposing forces of the Horde and the Alliance. Since its debut in 1994, Warcraft has developed a loyal following across the globe, with several bestselling, award-winning PC games and a range of popular licensed products including novels, action figures, apparel, comic books, board games, and more. World of Warcraft®, Blizzard Entertainment’s subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game set in the Warcraft universe, is the most popular game of its kind in the world. Its most recent expansion, Wrath of the Lich King™, is the fastest-selling PC game of all time, with more than 2.8 million copies sold in its first 24 hours of availability and more than 4 million in its first month.

Further details about the upcoming Warcraft movie, including cast and targeted release date, will be revealed as development progresses.

Current Gear Ranking


Here is the guild ranking based on gear level and progression as of 6/13/2009 according to http://wow-heroes.com. The website will also suggest which instances/raids you'd need to run to get upgrades.

I'm not sure what happened to Lee though because considering the progression he is at the bottom of the list. I'm sure he may have changed to RP clothes and parked himself if Goldshire. Note to Lee: Stop doing cyberz with 11-year oldz in GS. /gg

Traver Skill Changes

Here's an overview of the upcoming traver skil changer @ Patch 3.2.

Druid Travel Form , Hunter Aspect of the Cheetah, and Shaman Ghost Wolf can now be uniformly trained at Level 20. Class-specific mounts will come at the same levels as generic mounts will: Paladin and Warlock ground mounts at 20 for normal and 40 for epic, Druid Flight Form (now enhanced to 150% speed, like the other normal-speed flying mounts) at level 60, and Swift Flight Form at level 70.

Read the rest of the changes posted at WoWinsider here.

WoW: Douche Alert!


Rambart: So why the hell did you ninja all the loot after 23 other people made an effort to finish that run?

Absturz: Because I wanted it.

---

Warning to All Guildies: If you are grouped with a toon named Absturz and Cirenidy from the guild I Has no Dust, leave ASAP. Alt f4 if you have to but be sure to warn everyone in that group/raid first that these asses will ninja all the loot and gloat about it every way they can.

About two days ago, we joined an OS 25-man pug run organized by Absturz. We had no idea then that he was a ninja looter and since it was an easy enough run, PUG-ing it seemed all too normal. Then right before we started, one player commented that Absturz may ninja all the loot if he were loot master. I personally thought that the comment was childish and premature but hey this is WoW so we have mastered the art of ignoring whiners. Absturz on the other hand addressed the said comment and passed on the loot master to Cirenidy. There, he said, I am no longer loot master. And so we went on and finished the somewhat chaotic run.

An hour or so later, when the main boss was downed, everyone was eagerly waiting to roll on a piece of epic to reward themselves for putting up the time and effort and simply endure the bickering on raid chat for bad pulls and people simply not knowing what to do during the boss fight. Much to our surprise, we saw all the loot getting passed on to Absturz. Yep, all of it. No call was made for anyone to roll, no "Oops, I forgot to set it on master loot," nada. All the loot were deliberately handed to Absturz by Cirenidy who happens to be his guildie. After that, they LoL'd and left the raid. Five minutes later, we see Absturz gloating on trade about what he did.

I have brought this matter up to the GM's but sadly I am never on long enough to elicit a reply and all I'm getting are generic mailed messages for missing the Game Masters. And while this may not be a bannable offense, this looks like a habitual "prank" that needs to be addressed. Ignoring these players completely isn't even an option at this point as it is always better to watch out for these names and just tell people off if you see them PUG-ing anything else on LFG/Trade.

Soon these people may just change their character names and this issue will be over. I have a nagging suspicion though that they like the attention and I may be giving them exactly what they want by posting this but I don't care as other players need to be warned so they can be avoided whenever possible.

This is also posted in the WoW Forums. Leave your comments if you have encountered these guys as well. Be sure to get screen caps and post them too.
