Just wondered, to anybody in the BETA at the moment. Has anybody had the chance to do the alliance quest chain in the Western Plaguelands to do with Andorhal. Apparently the Horde get to retake it and see some tasty banshee-queen lore, and I was wondering if there is an alliance counterpart, and we also get to take it back as from what I have seen pre-phase it's a third Alliance, a third Horde and a third Scourge. Also is Chromie still there, as I will NOT miss the quest to kill temporal maggots.

You know when you login to WoW and you discover it's your lucky day ? awesome randoms, terrific loot, making new friends, finishing that hard quest you were trying for days ? Well it happened to me yesterday, and I thought "what the hell, i'm gonna push my luck and see if I got in the Cata Beta", so I logged in to battle.net and ... nope, no beta for me :'(

That was my useless post of the day.

I've used Bagnon for a long time now, it doesn't actually sort by type does it? You can only search by the item(s) names.

As far as I know of.. there is no way how to sort by pvp / pve gear. It's just "armor" to the game.

The only thing that differentiates it is the stats, and therefore the game can't "separate" it even with user add-ons unless it's an add-on that specifies the type of armor PER class, PER armor type.

And that's a lot of coding and time.

You sure said that

And I hate to smack you in your face but Activision has NOTHING to do with Blizzard. They are a distribution company. That's it. They are wholy separate entities than Blizzard. The only reason in a conjoined merger is because it's beneficial to both companies to have resources between the companies that they can share and utilize. Ideas wise, Blizzard is Blizzard and Activision is Activison. Pull your head out of the clouds and realize that ALL Warcraft information, etc are retained by Blizzard. Activision has no rights whatsoever to the properties. They have as much right to the franchise, it's story, and it's lore as you, or I.

And if you're so upset about the Worgen, name another race of things that the Alliance can get from either the First or Second War.. hell I'll be so generous as to say the Third war, even though WoW is set somewhere in the middle of Warcraft 2 and 3. I'll be waiting as you really can't name one other than the Pandaren.

A forewarning though: Please don't play with people who read Lore daily, and have been praised by blue posters for their knowledge about it, you will be stomped on and embarrassed.

Blizzard and Activison are one. They merged. http://en.wikipedia....vision_Blizzard

Blizzard merged with Vivendi Universal Games, which was then bought out by Activision, taking Blizzard in the deal.

Any bag addon that sorts or lets you search your bags / bank by PvE and or PvP gear?

BankStack. Love it. It sorts bags, bank, and guild bank tabs. :) If you use Combuctor (the Bagnon author's other bag addon) you can get an extra tab addon for it that will show you only gear you have in a set. That's about as close as you can get AFAIK.

He's well aware of this fact, he mentioned it in his post.

Activision aren't above Blizzard, they merged, hence they're equal in their say. So Blizzard is still running things in WoW, not Activision - at least game-wise, not talking about administrative management, like oh say, firing people.

July 10, 2008 -- Paris, France and Santa Monica, CA - Vivendi (Euronext Paris: VIV) and Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) today announced the completion of the transaction announced on December 2, 2007 to create Activision Blizzard, as the world's most profitable pure-play online and console game publisher. Activision Blizzard was formed by combining Activision, one of the world's leading independent publishers of interactive entertainment, and Vivendi Games, Vivendi's interactive entertainment business, which includes Blizzard Entertainment's® World of Warcraft®, the world's #1 subscription-based massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Activision Blizzard will continue to operate as a public company traded on Nasdaq under the ticker ATVI.

Activision and Blizzard still operate as separate entities. Activision Blizzard doesn't actually publish anything. They're the holding company. (I'm agreeing.)

On topic: Ding on my 5th 80 cow. :D

It's pretty much one single stat - Resilience. If it's got it it's pvp, if it doesn't then it's pve or vendor spec.

Pretty much, if someone wants to, they could also manually code which names/armors are considerer PVP and whatnot, and there are plenty of people around that would do something like that if they felt like it. :p

Yeah I know that, because I'm a player, but, a mod can't tell if a piece of armor has resilience or not.

That's the point I was trying to make.

He was looking for a mod to filter between PVP and PVE gear, and I said there is no mod that can differentiate between the two because of the way the game sees gear.. it just sees it as "gear" as a whole.

Make sense?

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

      While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
