There may be dragons at BlizzCon, but the Scarlet Crusade itself was spotted making their mark at this year’s Dragon*Con. An enterprising group of players loosely allied with the guild Suncrown from The Venture Co-H made it into CNN’s video coverage of Dragon*Con, so colorful and detailed were their costumes. “We had Mograine, Whitemane and two Scarlet Marksmen with us,” writes Samanthiel of The Silvermoon Academy (Wyrmrest Accord-H). The Scarlet Crusade cosplay crew was made up of friends split up between Houston, Texas, and New Orleans, La., who play WoW together in order to keep in touch. “We had a really great time, but the footwear killed us,” Samanthiel says. “Those heels and boots were massacre on our feet, so we only wore the costume for Saturday morning of the

I’ve talked here before about just how wacky Blizzard’s coding is — they are obviously great programmers (even with all of the 180,000 bugs), but man, when things go wrong in this game, they go wrong in the weirdest, strangest ways. Take the bug above, spotted in patch 3.2.2 by xella over on Livejournal: the female dreanei /train emote is bugged like crazy, but instead of not playing or playing a random sound like you might expect it to do as a software bug, it instead plays a cacophony of the strangest sounds, including a slice of the original sound and then a female blood elf /chicken noise instead. This will surely be fixed soon (and as a few people in the comments over there say, it’s probably a bit of file corruption on Blizzard’s part), but what a weird bug. Fortunately, as granular and strange as Blizzard’s bugs are, their fixes are just as minute: tree druids will be happy to see that, since patch 3.2, their treeform now actually moves correctly after Levitate is cast on it. It’s a small change, sure, but every little bit helps

Many of our characters may be lying face down in the snow, beer mug still in hand, at 3am on a Wednesday morning — but that’s not going to stop the weekly maintenance. Normal scheduled maintenance for most realms means an outage between 3am and 11am, Paris time (CEST). As well as this regular maintenance two English Battlegroups (Reckoning and Ruin) will be receiving optimizations to their instance capacity. This will mean an extended outage on Wednesday until 5pm CEST and also a further outage between 3am and 7am on Thursday. I’m sure players on these servers will be glad to finally join those who have already received this optimisation to help resolve the Door Boss issue. Full list of realms impacted after the break. Realms being optimized: Ahn’Qiraj Azuremyst Blade’s Edge Bronzebeard Chromaggus Dentarg Drak’thul Emeriss Executus Hakkar Khadgar Kul Tiras Mazrigos Moonglade Scarshield Legion Steamwheedle Cartel Talnivarr Terokkar Trollbane Xavius

Blizzard’s mobile authenticator updated recently, and as soon as it did, we started getting tips on the tipline saying there was a major issue. Apparently the update reset the code associated with your authenticator, which meant that if you applied the authenticator update (and had the authenticator connected to your account), there was no way to actually get a code to login to your account. In short, if you apply the mobile authenticator update, you won’t be able to log in to your account until you take the authenticator off completely (I’d assume you can then reinstall and reuse the authenticator, though people will probably be a little more trigger-shy about that one). There are instructions for how to do all of this over on the forums. Of course it’s a major issue, and in response, Blizzard has acknowledged the problem and apparently pulled the Authenticator from the App Store. So if (like me) you haven’t updated yet, you won’t need to worry about it, and hopefully the next version will fix the issue. But yes, if you have updated,

Ghostcrawler promised us a pony. He did. Or… did he? The statement became World of Warcraft-famous when Blizzard developer Greg Tiberius Street, otherwise known as Ghostcrawler, used the statement to end a thread that was guaranteed to become a whine and flame-fest. It also became one of WoW.com’s favorite quotes — so much of a favorite, in fact, that when BlizzCon rolled around, we fitted our WoW.com crew with custom-made Ghostcrawler Promised Me a Pony shirts. It turns out we’re not the only ones who like the phrase. Some of our readers who saw us walking around with the shirt asked where they could get one. People who saw the design on the site wrote in, even including some super secret Blizzard blues who presumably want to wear the shirt as an inside joke at the office. Since we love you guys, we’re here to oblige. While we won’t be able to give you actual shirts, we’re making the high resolution file of the image we used available for download right here on the site. How is that supposed to help, you ask? Well, my friends, with the

Here in the United States, today is a beloved national holiday called Labor Day. While I could get into the specific history of the holiday, I’ll simply summary by saying the holiday basically amounts to “a day off work for the people who work really hard.” Oxhorn has released a special Labor Day video with that subject in mind, called Work Work, Zug Zug, Dabu. The video is short, sweet, and fun-sized. This is one of the things I often love most about Oxhorn’s short videos. He has a basic, great idea, and then crafts a video specifically towards that idea alone. His content is tailored and fitted to the short length, which means even the most casual audience gets a very high return on their investment. The song is the centerpiece of this video, of course, and it’s as much fun as any other Oxhorn music. The honest goblin singing his way to mercantile expression is wonderfully done. As usual, my hat’s off to Oxhorn. The round robin medley between the three orcs (who I have to think are named “Work Work,” “Zug Zug,” and

Our good friend Ghostcrawler (I can say that now, because we all got to meet him at BlizzCon the other week) has done his best to explain the new Path of the Titans feature coming in the Cataclysm expansion over in this forum thread. We had this same question come up on last week’s podcast as well, and we said pretty much the same thing GC does: Path of the Titans is a brand new way for max-level characters to keep improving themselves. Of course, the feature is still being developed, but the goal is a “gated, not grindy” way (as in, you’ll earn rewards by doing things, not by doing them over and over again) to experience character progression outside of just reputation grinding, PvP, or raiding. He clarifies the idea more later in the thread as well. The different paths of the Titans are meant to be class-independent, but GC says that they do want players to debate which path is best for which class, even if they do end up with a “best” solution in the end. Archaeology is meant to be a part of it, so GC agrees that it could be more of a
