3.3.3 Is Bringing The Pain!

It’s been a while since Blizzard made wholesale changes to the PvP system in WoW, and they’re about to do so again in the next patch 3.3.3. The constant drive to streamline PvP in terms of rewards and your ability to improve your character so that you can match up better with other players is taking a fairly sharp turn in this next patch, and it is hard to say how it’s all going to shake out.

Wintergrasp is getting adjusted again! Over on the forums, Zarhym wrote: “In the next minor content patch, we will be making some minor alterations to the way in which the internal balance system for Wintergrasp works in an attempt to better support realms with greater variations in the level of participation between the Alliance and Horde. Since we have never gone into much detail about how this hidden system currently works, we’d like to explain exactly how it will work in the next patch. Keep in mind that, although this information may feel very new to you, the actual changes being made in the patch to the current system are relatively minor.”

Another Week, Another Blizzard Dev Chat

Well, not exactly. Blizzard checked in with their third open developers interview this week, and we figured it might be fun to go over a few of the more interesting questions and answers.

We Want A 2-Person Rocket Mount

MMO-Champion thrilled us with the production of a graphic from the game that appears to be a flying mount in the shape of a mean-looking rocket, with two seats!

We Always Get Asked About The Chatroom

Most every day, someone e-mails us or asks us in our forums, or Skypes one of us and says “How can I be a part of that chatroom you always refer-to during the live recording of The Instance?” Well we’ve decided to do this thing right here, right now!

Additional show content provided by Darrell the Tipgiver, Steve “Buxley” Pietrowicz, James “Acuzod” Jefferies and the outstanding Instance Community.

  1. Randy, you said you would provide the link to the Canadian Moose pet thing on the Colbert Report in the show notes, but I don’t see it here. Any chance of adding it? Thanks! Love the show!

  3. Authenticator Attack information

    Basically as they said the most important thing is to ensure that you have a valid anti-virus program, a firewall (use the windows firewall if anything), an anti-spyware program. Here are links to the programs Tom Merrit referred to.

    Anti-virus AVG Free
    Anti-Spyware Microsoft Security Essentials
    Windows Firewall How to enable Windows Firewall in WinXP

    Want to control outbound Traffic (Where you will get a message when a new/changed program requests internet access)
    Comodo Firewall Free to home users.

    Hope that this helps people and my HTML tags are good. Thanks for making a Great podcast.

  5. Where can I find that version of Welcome To The Jungle played at the end of the song?

  8. Can you tell me where you found the verison of Welcome to the Jungle? Thanks, love the show guys.

  9. Honestly, I already knew that Blizzard is constantly making changes in the PVP system of the game. Since I don’t play Wow very much recently it doesn’t really matter to me, but I might be back in the near future – that’s definitely possible.
