WoW Patch 3.2.2 Download

Big Download has the patch 3.2.2 files up for download on site now. The patch file will work for game clients patched to version 3.2.0a (the latest patch before 3.2.2). The file is only 40 megs, so it should go quickly for you.

This patch mirror is only for the English-US PC version of WoW. We currently do not have the Mac version or other localizations, however we'll update this post when we get them in.

Enjoy your patch download!

Patch 3.2.2 lives. It lives!




The day is here. Patch 3.2.2 is now downloaded and can at last be played. From changes to classes to the return of Onyxia (I'm not sure if the Broodmother of the Black Dragonflight will be actually raidable tonight, but boy howdy do I hope so) it's going to be, as a certain robot who I'm sure would play WoW if it wasn't a thousand years out of date in his time would say, fun on a bun. New pets, a new mount, and lots of new loot with an old time aesthetic, it's the patch that I, at least, have been waiting for. Shark head helmet ahoy!

Are there patch notes, you say? Indeed, and after the jump ye shall find them! Sorry, my dreams of shark head helmet are kind of running my brain.

The Brood Mother Returns

After years of lurking in her lair battling the many brave adventurers who travelled from afar to challenge her, Onyxia returns stronger than before to commemorate World of Warcraft's five-year anniversary.


  • Onyxia has been scaled to offer new challenges to level 80 players and is now available for testing in 10- and 25-player modes.

  • Adjusted for modern raiding, but with the fundamental experience of fighting the Brood Mother still in effect, including the horrors of her Deep Breaths!

Battlegrounds

No Wolpertinger and Pink Elekk quests for Europe

Blizzard has confirmed that the absence of the Catch the Wild Wolpertinger and Pink Elekks on Parade quests on European realms is not a bug. These "get drunk and see creatures" quests were removed to comply with "regional game rating requirements". We can surmise from this that at least one of the European countries is unwilling to allow virtual inebriation in a game partially targeted to teenagers.

We usually think that the U.S. is more prudish about these kinds of non-violent topics than Europe, but obviously that is not the case here. Personally, I think these quests are pretty innocuous and the near blindness you get when you get hammered in-game isn't exactly encouraging young drunkenness. But I do see how some would disagree with me.

We are researching this, but in the meantime, do you know which region(s) are causing the removal of these Brewfest quests from Europe?

WoW Patch 3.2.2 known bugs

Each new wow patch seems to bring about its own unique bugs, and wow Patch 3.2.2 is no different. As of Tuesday evening there are significant lag and server stability issues plaguing Azeroth worse than that night Jaina spent with Arthas plagues her, but that should hopefully be resolved with the rolling restarts tomorrow (5:00 a.m. PDT / 8:00 a.m. EDT). The lag, not Jaina's problem. That's going to take... well, she should see a doctor.

There are currently two major issues Blizzard has announced.

The first is a series of display problems, which Blizzard recommends you do the standard deleting of the WTF, Cache, and Interface folders. Before you do that be aware that removing the folders will delete all your add-ons and add-on preferences. In my experience, you're better off deleting the Cache folder and then updating all your add-ons, or just disabling add-ons which are out of date.

More detailed instructions for Windows and MacOS X can be found in Syndri's post on the official forums.

The other issue that items which are tradable under the BoP rules are not able to be socketed. This appears to not be affecting everyone, however there is a work around in the following steps:


  1. Enchant the item

  2. Enchanting the item will remove the tradable timer, the BoP item will be bound to you and you won't be able to trade it

  3. Gem the item


You should be golden after you do those steps.

There are other problems out there that we're getting reports of, however nothing else has been confirmed by Blizzard yet so it's all conjecture at this point. If hear anything substantial or are able to independently verify bugs ourselves, we'll let you know.

WoW Season 7 and the Battleground PvPer

WoW Season 7 started a while back, and we've now got Colby on the team to pick up on the Arena scene with Blood Sport. He covers all the basics of the latest Arena season in his debut column, so head on over and read up on everything you need to know. That's your primer. On today's The Art of War(craft), I'm going to discuss other things not quite covered by the basics.

First of all, what does a new Arena season mean to the Battleground enthusiast? I mean, who gives a shmoo? Arenas shmarenas, right? Well... not exactly. The sad fact is that Arena players are going to be playing the Battlegrounds, anyway, since the non-set pieces are purchasable with Honor points. While these items also drop off Koralon, the Flame Watcher, the fastest, most efficient way to obtain non-set Relentless Gladiator pieces is through Honor farming in the Battlegrounds.

That means successful Arena play, or at least the most conscientious preparation, requires Battleground participation. The converse isn't necessarily true. The gear disparity in the Battlegrounds is extreme, and it isn't uncommon to find players fresh from hitting Level 80 hitting the maps to grind Honor for gear upgrades. Gear isn't as critical, but it's a definite advantage. My view on the matter is that Arenas are a necessary, but fun, evil.

Making it work

I don't think Arenas are intrinsically disdainful. They can actually be quite enjoyable under the right conditions. Some good friends of mine are actually pretty avid Arena players, although they admittedly don't break high Arena ratings. Despite sometimes having spectacular losing streaks, they take it in stride and enjoy the matches because of the company they keep. That's the caveat -- sometimes the best PvPers aren't always the most pleasant. In fact, in the highest levels of play, nerd rage isn't uncommon and some of the most (in)famous professional Arena players have reputations for finger pointing, shouting, and for unceremoniously kicking under-performing teammates off the team.

The need to win brings pressure. Some players thrive in it, while others can do without it. In the case of my dear friends, they've removed winning as a condition for enjoyment and merely participate in Arenas with no expectations, instead enjoying the company of their real life friends while picking up Arena points and moderate ratings along the way. You can go either way. It sometimes happens that your friends in real life or in-game aren't as proficient in PvP but provide good ventrilo commentary and laughter. Go with what works.

Moving worlds

For more serious Arenas, there are more options than ever when it comes to creating suitable conditions -- for one thing, players can transfer to any Battlegroup. If you want a challenge, you can transfer to the legendary Bloodlust Battlegroup, formerly known as BG9, where competition is intense and where it will take great effort to obtain end-of-season rewards. In the EU, I believe Bloodlust's equivalent is Cyclone, previously BG3. US Stormstrike also has a good reputation.

The other route works well, too. Transferring to a smaller or less famous Battlegroup will make it easier to obtain rankings that qualify for end-of-season rewards. Emberstorm has sometimes been regarded as the weakest Battlegroup. Whether fairly or unfairly, the Battlegroup's smaller Arena pool has allowed Gladiator at lower ratings compared to other Battlegroups. But make no mistake that it will take skill and talent to obtain top ranks regardless of Battlegroup.

Also, do your research. Find out which realm on which Battlegroup will be the most suitable for you. Find a team or transfer with friends. Some Battlegroups and realms have faction imbalances, so make sure to transfer to a Battlegroup that's hospitable to your faction. Faction imbalance is more apparent in Battleground play and can ruin your Battleground experience. Then again, even that is no longer a problem...

Changing sides

The new faction transfer service, extremely popular since it became available, now opens up more opportunities for players to find their perfect Arena team. Faction changes also make particular racial abilities available -- for example, Horde players can switch to Alliance to free up a trinket slot with Every Man For Himself, or get an extra anti-snare with Escape Artist. Alliance players can get an extra CC-break with Will of the Forsaken. None of these are game-breaking, but can sweeten the deal when changing sides.

Faction change is only one of the many options players have in creating conditions to make Arenas -- or playing WoW in general -- more palatable. You can choose to transfer to a realm or faction to play with friends, or play with dedicated PvP players, or both. Finding an Arena team is easier (if a bit more costly) than ever.

Playing Seasons Behind

On the other hand, it's completely feasible to forego Arenas altogether and settle for playing with gear that's two seasons behind. The gear disparity in Battlegrounds is large enough that it's not as critical to play with the most current PvP gear. In fact, many casual players can view the Battlegrounds as a refuge from the PvP arms race, where it's alright to play with a smattering of Deadly Gladiator gear.

The good news is that Deadly Gladiator items, once the pinnacle of PvP gear, are available through a number of means including purchase with Emblem of Conquest raid tokens. Season 5 set pieces have moderate Resilience and should work fine for Battleground play. The good news is that Furious Gladiator or Season 6 non-set pieces such as bracers, boots and belts are available purely for Honor, as well, so Battleground-exclusive players can still obtain gear that's just one season behind.

Speaking of playing one season behind, getting moderately decent ratings in Season 7 will allow the purchase of Season 6 Furious Gladiator gear, which is rather competitive. It's not bleeding edge PvP gear, but it's more than adequate for the Honor grind. It only takes a rating of 1350 to obtain Season 6 shoulders, and if you're truly averse to Arenas, all Furious Gladiator set pieces can be purchased with Emblems of Triumph. Even without PvPing, you can pretty much pick up everything you need to PvP (I know, it's kind of dumb).

Everything except the weapon, anyway. Unfortunately, all past season weapons have been removed from vendors, making Relentless Gladiator the only PvP weapon options for latecomers. Otherwise, players will have to source their weapons from raids or other means. The good news is that the new Arena weapons only require a personal and team rating of 1800, which is fairly attainable with a decent Arena team.

Arenas and you

Ultimately, it comes down to how badly you want to be on the cutting edge. If you're after any sort of end-of-season reward, obviously you'll need to buckle down to do Arenas seriously. For most casual PvPers and Battlegrounds enthusiasts, these will probably be off the table. I personally think getting into Arenas is part of the entire PvP experience, and therefore finding or setting up the best experience is crucial. Depending on your current situation in your realm, move elsewhere if you must. Find and play with friends or hardcore Arena players.

The bottom line is that obtaining the latest PvP gear necessitates Arena play. No matter how much you cozy up to Koralon, the only way to get the best-of-the-best gear is to Arena and to Arena well. Again, the good news is that relaxed Battlegrounds play doesn't demand that. So enjoy the new Arena season and let's lap up the rainfall of last season's gear Hard Off-style.

WoW Alterac Valley bracket changes

The article is about the then-unannounced changes AV; namely that the brackets were moved around and the amount of XP gained by completing objectives was changed.

Bornakk has since came out and clarified the changes a bit, and provided a bit more detail. Most interestingly is that this change was intended for Patch 3.3, and was accidently applied to Patch 3.2.2. I'm not really sure how such a significant change could accidently make it in, but there we have it. From Blizzard's mouth to your ears.

It would make sense that the change be applied in Patch 3.3. Cross-server instances are coming in Patch 3.3, and that's going to help leveling a ton. Think of how easy things will be if you just want to chain run dungeons at 1 a.m. for a few hours. That speed and leveling agility would help offset the XP nerf contained in this sudden AV change. But as it stands, we'll have to wait a few months to allow for another quick level mechanism to be put in place.

The other part of the change that was clarified is exactly what happened with the brackets.




In a nutshell, the following occurred:


  • 70 was removed from the 61 to 70 bracket

  • There is now a bracket for 70 to 79 players

  • 80s are now in their own bracket

  • XP was cut in half (note this change was not in Bornakk's announcement, but is what everyone is observing)

  • Level of bosses (and NPCs) in the 70 to 79 bracket have been reduced


Blizzard's full statement reads as follows:

With the launch of patch 3.2.2 today there have been some changes to the Alterac Valley battleground and we wanted to clarify what exactly has been done.

Level 80 characters now have their own bracket and there is a separate bracket for characters that are levels 70 to 79. This change was originally planned for patch 3.3 but it was accidently applied to the current patch 3.2.2. As we had already intended to make this change so that players who are leveling play together and players who are at the level cap play together, we will be keeping the bracket setup this way, but the level of the bosses in the brackets below level 80 will be reduced to compensate.

WoW CombatLog Divise

Issues
You register combatlog, but you forgot to delete Combatlog.txt after each raid. Sometimes, you get another raid before the raid you want to register.

In this case, you want only the raid that begins at 20 o'clock.
Sometimes, when you forgot to delete Combatlog.txt after each raid, you have a Combatlog with a size of 1Gb.

Solve
This program coded in VB.NET allow you to divise yours raids in the combatlog. The detected raids are shown and you can select each raid you want to conserve on a text file.

For example...
You've done 5 raids this week and you forgot to delete Combatlog.txt. You want to report on WWS the 2 lasts raids.

The program will analyse all your combatlog and detects miliseconds between 2 logs. If it's more than X hour(s) (you can edit X), the program informs you.

After analysis, you can select raids you want to conserve. After this step, the program creates new text files at the number of raids you want to conserve.

Last step : submit each text file to your combatlog parser.

Advise
I recommend users to use this program in addition with clsaver or AutoLog.

Languages
Only in french in Beta version for this moment. On july, English version will appear.

WOW Fishing Guide

I've set up this wow fishing guide to teach you how to level up as quickly as possible, hence I've left out what you don't need to know that is a waste of time.

Seeing as I'm going to be teaching you how to fish in this wow Fishing Guide, I've decided to also cover cooking as well as they complement each other well and you can use your time to skill up on both at the same time.

It should take you about 15 hours to complete the following guide (perhaps 11 if you are really fast!)

What causes your skill rate to change?

Your skill rate goes up based on the number of successful catches that you make.

Here is the approximate equation:

(current unmodified fishing level - 25) / 25 = # of fish needed to level, assuming a minimum of fish per catch.

You should also be aware that it does not matter where you fish, your skill rate only changes due to the number of successful catches that you make.

Horde Instructions
1. Begin at Bloodhoof Village in Mulgore.
2. Speak to Harn Longcast, purchase Billiant Smallfish and Longjaw Mud Snapper recipes.
3. Go to Stonebull Lake and begin fishing.
4. Equip your rod, next apply the shiny bauble lure to it (makes catching fish a lot easier!)
5. Spend about 40 minutes catching 60 Brilliant Smallfish.
6. By this time you should have also caught about 30 Longjaw Mud Snappers. When you have 60 of them, cook them. You can go back to Harn Longcast and use the fire by him, or build your own.
7. Cook Brilliant Smallfish
