I don't know if I've talked about this before, but I keep seeing these discussions in various places about the role of damage meters in MMOs. I think it's coming up a lot right now because having one and not having one is a primary difference between World of Warcraft and Star Wars: The Old Republic. I don't know if what I've been seeing is a majority opinion or if it's simply a very vocal

So, this week Blizzard announced that an initial round of nerfs to the Dragonsoul normal and heroic raid difficulties will be implemented starting Jan 31st. The nerfs will be implemented in the form of a 5% reduction in health and damage done for all bosses. They also stated that this nerf could grow in 5% increments going forward as Blizzard sees fit. If you read the official forums, or just

I just wanted to drop a few lines about what I've been up to lately in both wow and swtor. In wow, I am on the verge of completing my legendary staff. I'm at 230 of 250 siphons, and anyone who knows what I'm talking about knows it takes a long time to complete when all you do is 10-mans. It is the 2nd staff for our group, but will be the 4th in my guild. Anyway, I will be finishing it this

So, I've been pretty busy with not only playing wow's patch 4.3 as well as SWTOR early access and now through the launch, but of course with non-gaming related holiday things as well. I've been pretty happy with patch 4.3 in spite of the raid finder and how I feel about it - I still feel obligated to participate in it as there are upgrades to be had, and alts to be geared. However, I've been

For those of you who don't know already, I am a huge mount-whore. I do pretty much anything I can to get as many mounts as possible. My newest mount is a rare drop from the Madness of Deathwing (final raid boss in the Dragon Soul). A guildie of mine, Gettokiwi, actually won the roll and gave it to me. And I can't stress this enough, but that's the most generous thing I've ever seen since I've

Well, I've been really busy trying to get the most out of Patch 4.3  - with the Dragon Soul and the Darkmoon Faire taking up a bit more time than I'd anticipated. Today I just want to touch on the Raid Finder and Dragon Soul raid dungeon in general. Having now cleared the Dragon Soul raid on normal, and done some of it on the new Raid Finder difficulty, I feel comfortable is saying it seemed a

So, it's been difficult to decide what kind of post this is going to be, but I did get to play the Star Wars: The Old Republic beta last weekend, and lots of people have been asking what I thought about it, so I'll do the best I can. I think what most people want to know is whether or not it is a complete rip-off of World of Warcraft? Well, the not particularly satisfying answer is "sort of."

Today's post is targeted at noobs. If you know what a noob is, then you might want to excuse yourself from this lesson in gaming terminology. In this post, I'm going to be talking about the language of World of Warcraft, however some terms will be applicaable to MMORPGs in general. The definitions supplied are authored by me, and while not everyone will agree on exact wording, it should give the

Last week, Blizzard revealed a new talent calculator to preview the revamped talent structure we'll be seeing in Mists of Pandaria. There's no denying it represents an unprecedented change in the talent system. Today, I've decided to take  you all on a stroll down memory lane and go over the basic design of the talent system past and present.  Originally, all classes had 3 talent trees that went

The recent Blizzcon announcement of Pandaren as the new playable race in the next expansion really made me look forward to playing one, and I decided almost immediately that I would need to come up with a great Panda-inspired name and level a new character some time before the launch of Mists of Pandaria. (followed by the obligatory race change, of course.) This is how Pandaid was born. Over

Hello, friends! ...and welcome to the new Deathonabun blog. This is now a World of Warcraft blog, so that's what my posts will be focusing on going forward, with the possibility of some Star Wars: The Old Republic commentary as well. So, with that being said, let's go over what we can look forward to in the coming weeks in World of Warcraft. Well, primarily, I'm expecting patch 4.3 to be
