WoW Barbies

Patch notes for the next World of Warcraft patch.

(Did I say patch? I meant nerf.)

I exaggerate! There’s a fishing improvement and new cooking recipes. And, if you like playing Barbies in online games, there’s a Dressing Room interface.

Some of the new content is mildly interesting, but ffs, some of that shit is harsh.

I didn’t see anywhere that they might have a handle on SOME OF THIS:

Lag!!!!

Swear to God, every night, lag starts going south, players drop from the raid, instant cast becomes 3 seconds and badabing!, we’re in recovery, folks!

I’m not bitter, though. I know Blizzard appreciates my patience in this matter.

As damn well they should.

Welcome to Pain and Suffering

From the Warcraft priest forums, some advice to player Aelace of the Proudmoore server about the wisdom of spec’ing shadow priest on a PvP server and the horrifying side effects. Blizzard employee Tigerclaw responded with a few suggestions for players suffering at the hands of the shadow spec. (courtesy of emailer Kristen, possibly a melter herself, or one of the many melted.)
