I also realize a lot of people were hoping for a release date announcement at the VGAs. We’re simply not going to be able to dispel or comment on release date rumors and

speculation every time someone expects an announcement. We’ll be announcing a release date when we determine the game is ready, and not holding it back just to line it up with any particular game-industry event.

The bottom line is that development of our games and preparations for release are long and complicated. We’re just as excited to get the final version into your hands as you are to play it, but making sure it lives up to our quality standards will always be the most important factor in that process. Why not make the beta open now? Why not let all the hardcore fans have a chance to play before release?

The service currently available is a single test site, it just couldn’t hold that many people. While we’d certainly like to make people happy, it wouldn’t be a good experience, and frankly letting people try the game is not the purpose of the beta test.Also, why not tell us what you’re working on fixing and let the people in the beta help? I know I would be deeply honored to have a chance to help.

Well most everyone already knows we’re working on runestones still, and we have some other changes that are going to shake up characters a little bit. We’ll be letting you know as soon as we’re sure they’ll work out at all, and then we’re going to be asking everyone for feedback. 

 

Once you have the staff created, head to Act 1 and use the Old Ruins waypoint. From there head down the path to Old Tristram Road and then southwest. You will find the skeleton of a cow with a huge crevice near it. If you have the staff in your inventory, the Ghost of the Cow King will spawn with a quest mark above his head. Once you talk to him, he will go through his dialogue and remind you that there is no Cow Level. After which the crevice will turn into the entrance to Whimsyshire.

Note: not everyone in your party needs the staff to enter, just one person needs it to talk to Ghost of the Cow King.
All in all, it will cost you between 150k and 1.9 million gold (depending on how far you want to upgrade the staff), and some patience, but you’ll earn the feat of strength In the Land of Killer Unicorns and some nice loot for your troubles. 

en Masse Entertainment has posted a short blog article revealing a bit of information about what the team is working on for an update coming later this summer. Most notably, tank classes (Warrior & Lancer) will be receiving some love and two new instances will make their debut.

Many of you have shared your thoughts on TERA’s two tank classes, the warrior and lancer. If you play either class, you’ll appreciate having more flexibility on both offense and defense, so we’re changing defensive skills to consume a new resource instead of MP. (And before you ask, yes—you’ll be able to restore that third bar on the top of your screen quickly.) Warriors will gain three new skills, including the ability to block an attack with their twin swords. Lancers will get two new skills, including a skill that should significantly improve lancer mobility.

 

 

The next Guild Wars 2 beta event has been announced for June 8th. We’ve got a few ideas of some things we’d like to see during that event. See if you agree and then leave us your thoughts in the comments.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the future beta events for Guild Wars 2, and it feels like the next one is right around the corner. I’ve reflected on the past events a bit, even sharing my thoughts and experiences with you guys. ArenaNet has offered a lot of content, but I’ve been thinking about how much more there is to experience. Already I’ve had a chance to spend a lot of time with the Charr, Norn, and Humans. I’ve gotten to travel some of the lands of Tyria, and I think I have a good grasp on the early areas and events in the game. In fact, it’s allowed me to kind of plan out what I will do when the game actually launches. But I want to see more!We are a specialized, professional and reliable online supplier for guild wars  2 gold selling.

Will there be a character specific or Diablo III specific friendslist as well, or is BattleTag the only way to add friends in Diablo III?

There will only be two levels of friendships in Diablo III when the game launches: Real ID friends and BattleTag friends. Character-level friendships like you have in World of Warcraft won’t exist in Diablo III, so if you want to another player as a friend, you’ll need to add them as a BattleTag friend or a Real ID friend.

Lylirra, can we get some clarification on where character names show up vs. Battletag?

Sure thing! When Diablo III launches, your character name will be visible to you in a variety of locations including the character selection screen and game menu. For other players, your character’s name will only appear within your player profile, as hover text in the friends list, and when your character participates in quest dialog. In every other context, your BattleTag will be shown.

Also, just to clarify, your BattleTag identifier (the numbers appended to the end of your BattleTag nickname) will be visible in the “Add Friend” dialog and on a player’s profile page. But that’s it. When you’re just playing normally in a group, only your BattleTag nickname should display.

So Bashiok basically lied then?

No, but we did miscommunicate, and that’s our bad.

To help clear up that confusion, the current design is something we feel pretty confident in. Even after carefully reviewing all of your feedback and analyzing the pros and cons of the system, we found that BattleTags are a better way (overall) to personally identify individuals from game to game, even if they change characters.

It helps players build up street cred, or even the opposite type of experiences where you’d want to avoid another player entirely — something that would only be possible with an account-wide nickname. As a result, we felt that confusing BattleTags with character names in Diablo III was detrimental to those types of benefits.

We know that some of you may disagree with that approach, and that’s totally fine. We just encourage you to give BattleTags a chance when Diablo III releases so you can see how the system works in the actual game environment. You might find that you actually like it! Or, you might not, and we’d love to hear your feedback either way. 🙂

Blizzard Entertainment and Valve have announced that the two gaming giants have reached an agreement regarding the use of the DOTA name. In the settlement, Blizzard will be able to retain the non-commercial use of the DOTA name with regard to consumer-created maps for Warcraft III and Starcraft II.

“Both Blizzard and Valve recognize that, at the end of the day, players just want to be able to play the games they’re looking forward to, so we’re happy to come to an agreement that helps both of us stay focused on that,” said Rob Pardo, executive vice president of game design at Blizzard Entertainment. “As part of this agreement, we’re going to be changing the name of Blizzard DOTA to Blizzard All-Stars, which ultimately better reflects the design of our game. We look forward to going into more detail on that at a later date.”

The companies do not plan to discuss the terms of the agreement beyond today’s announcement
