SOPA
You’re probably already a pretty savvy internet person – so you may have already gotten your fill of the whole SOPA/PIPA thing today- however, if you haven’t yet seen or heard about it-
I urge you to watch this youtube short about it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7TSJYWgfqA
Now, normally you know I don’t mix politics and gaming, unless of course my Guildies need a good mediation over loot–
BUT
If you live in the USA (or even if not), this is something that profoundly will affect you-
so please forgive me not talking to you about the game itself, so much as something that will be important to how you enjoy World of Warcraft when you’re not playing the game…
There are two pieces of legislation that are each in the US House and Senate that originally were designed to help combat online piracy– however, the intent seems to have gotten sidetracked, perhaps even subverted, by the ease and sweeping powers being promised to those who would be in a position to complain about their intellectual property from having been unfairly used–
Activision, the parent company of Blizzard, has come out on the side of being PRO SOPA/PIPA, however Blizzard itself hasn’t spoken either way.
Here’s a TED talk that really crystallizes the issue
 about the impact of this legislation on such things as your ability to create fan sites, raid videos and other such pleasures of participating in the game- while not actually playing the game itself…
If this is a concern, then I urge you to go here
http://stopthewall.us
and fill out the form, and let the automated system connect you to YOUR specific Senator- it coaches you on talking points and everything, so is pretty easy to do..but feel free to add your own arguments as well.
If a call isn’t your style, go here
http://www.americancensorship.org
and see what other opportunities you have to inform your legislature to NOT support these bills.
I thank you for taking time to read and carefully consider taking immediate action– it does affect you- and if you do not do anything, you may start finding your favorite sites increasingly roadblocked or similar because they have ‘infringed’ on Activision’s intellectual property rights…
Thanks again, and I do hope you forgive my break in your normally scheduled gaming specific articles and tips!

WoW Patch 4.3 – Cataclysm Finale

The next content patch (4.3) to be released by Blizzard Entertainment in the World of Warcraft series is the epic finale to World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. As many of you will know, this expansion pack began with Deathwing, the dragon god, destroying most of the world of Azeroth. The ending sees a dramatic showdown between this powerful dragon and the players, which ends up sending then travelling through time across the world.

What’s The Story With WoW Patch 4.3?

Players visit the future and see what would happen if the dragon gains control of Azeroth. This in itself is very dramatic, and may leave players wanting to play something else like  OnlinePoker.com for a while. The excitement is not over with World of Warcraft however, as players must convince a different dragon god to send them back in time, further than they were before, so that they can find out Deathwing’s weaknesses and ultimately work out how to destroy him.

WoW Patch 4.3 – End Game!

So much drama and we’re not finished yet. After this ordeal, players must survive a fight that takes place right on Deathwing’s back. During this fight, the aim of the player will be to pry the armour plates off of the back of the dragon. This is difficult in itself, but the dragon is also trying to shake the player off in various ways that will really test players’ skill and agility. This, of course, has to end in a face off with the powerful monster, which will be the ultimate test of game-play.

Say it Ain’t So- What Comes AFTER WoW Patch 4.3?

After this, there comes the recent announcement that there is a new expansion pack on the way. The annual Blizzcon convention is set to be held by Blizzard Entertainment on the third weekend of October. Starting on the 21st, we should be able to find out more about what is in store for World of Warcraft fans.
Be on the lookout for a new updated Zygor’s Guides announcement in the next few days too!

Patch 4.2 Preparation Guide – Zygor Guides Style

Hey!

Well, as you may already know, WoW Cataclysm Patch 4.2 is right around the corner. It is rumored it will be released on Tuesday, June 28th, so only about 2 more days.

We figured we’d put together a little preparation guide, so you can be sure you’re ready to go when Patch 4.2 releases.

For now, the WoW Cataclysm Patch 4.2 Preparation Guide – Zygor Guides Style!

————————————————————-
Patch 4.2 Preparation Guide:
————————————————————-

Firstly, in order to prepare and make sure you can start the new Firelands dailies on the first day they are released:

1. Make sure your have your character(s) to level 85.
2. Complete the Mount Hyjal Leveling guides up to:
Alliance – Step 170
Horde – Step 175

You must complete the quest “Aessina’s Miracle” in order to unlock the new Mount Hyjal / The Firelands dailies in Patch 4.2

Once you have the new dailies unlocked, here is what to expect.

The Firelands quests are very dynamic. You will not be able to complete some daily quests each day, as only a limited amount are available each day.

So, you will want to accept and complete as many as you can, and simply skip over the ones you can’t accept that day.

There will be 2 new guides added to the Cataclysm Dailies guides:

1. Firelands Quests
2. Firelands Dailies

You will need to use the Firelands Quests and Firelands Dailies together. Complete as many quests as you can in the Firelands Quests guide section first, and then use the Firelands Dailies guide section to complete the dailies each day and gain Marks of the World Tree. You will continue alternating between the 2 guides as you unlock more daily and non-daily quests.

Marks of the World Tree are the currency needed to complete certain quests in order to unlock more daily quests. They can also be used to open certain vendors’ inventories, so you can purchase better gear, as well as fun novelty items or tokens to increase your reputation with certain factions (similar to The Argent Tournament).

So, that gives you a little overview of how the new dailies hubs will work, as well as what you need to do to prepare for them.

So keep an eye out! We’ve also already begun working on another brand new guide, which we’ll release more details on later. But we’ll be looking to release that guide sometime soon after the Professions Guides are released.

WoW TYCOON GOLD GUIDE Addon REVIEW

One of Manaview’s most recent creation is the WoW Tycoon Gold Guide Addon. It is an in-game addon that is designed to automate the most complex game strategies that produces at least a 500% increase in gold income.
For those WoW players who have been hurting for something better than Vanilla, your wish has been granted. Now, the way gold is made has been forever changed!

That’s a huge claim- but read on, and see why I am comfortable with making that statement! Let’s cut to the chase and come out with our verdict after a week of testing..

Q. Does ‘Tycoon Gold Guide Addon’ actually work?
A. Definitely! 100%!
Users have said that they made 230% more gold on the average when they used the Tycoon Gold Guide Addon. My personal experience established that this was a safe estimate. I actually used the addon for several days and when I did open my mailbox, there was around 500 to 700% more gold than the usual amount I make using the exact same strategies without the Tycoon Gold Guide Addon.

WoW Cataclysm Patch 4.2 is right around the corner… So this time i’m going to go over everything YOU should be doing in order to prepare yourself for patch 4.2.

NOTE: If you’re really interested in learning how
to dominate in World of Warcraft, then you should take a
few minutes and look at THIS right now:

Top 5 Steps To Prepare For WoW Cataclysm Patch 4.2

1) Use those valor points!

Once patch 4.2 hits all valor points will be converted into justice points. You will be allowed to accumulate justice points up to a maximum of 4000. All justice points over 4000 will be converted into gold at 47 silver per point.

This means if you currently have 2000 valor points and 3000 justice points
you will end up with 4000 justice and (1000x.47) = 470 gold after the
patch!

This is quite alot of gold you may be thinking, however…
Bind on Equip (BoE) epic boots for each class and spec can be bought from the valor vendor at a price of 1650 valor points and can usually be sold anywhere between 3k-8k gold depending on your server. If these 1650 valor points get converted into gold this will only net you around 775g much less than what you could be getting!

2) Stock up on materials!

There are alot of new blacksmithing, leatherworking, tailoring recipes which are coming out in patch 4.2, there will be a huge demand for these items to be made! Even if you don’t have a character with these professions, buying the materials now while they are cheap and selling them back out 1-2 weeks after the patch hits is sure to make a killing!

3) Bookmark your favorite UI pages

(or refer to the addon section in
Warcraft Conquest Member’s area) Alot of addons are gonna need updating, if you
plan to raid you are definitely gonna need a updated boss mod. Don’t be left behind!

4) Spend Your Conquest Points!

Alot of players will have spare conquest
points lying around, this is a great time to spend them (either turn them into
materials) or buy another set of gear. It is always helpful to buy PvP items for
another spec that you may have to play in the future. If your class doesnt have
that many options for PvP consider buying a another set of gear and gemming/enganting it to be a flag carrier!

Your Rated BG team will love you for it!

5) Check the patch notes!

There’s ALOT of changes which are happening in WoW, most importantly many class changes are happening with certain abilities being nerfed, whilst others are being buffed! Don’t forget to check back at our members area to see if your rotation has changed and whether
you need to prioritize different stats accordingly!

What Else Do You Need To Prepare For WoW Cataclysm Patch 4.2?

A new module has been added to the members area of Warcraft Conquest to make the transition into WoW Cataclysm patch 4.2 easier for most of you, and you should definitely check it out!
