Blizzard developer blog: "Why Does Blizzard Hate Healers?"
Ghostcrawler has just posted the first "Developer Blog" on the new battle.net WoW site, and it deals with a topic close to my heart: healing.
There's been a lot of concern lately about the effect Cataclysm is going to have on healing performance, and the changes Blizzard is making. When you're just looking at spell changes (like
ours
) it's easy to get the impression that everything else is staying the same, and healing is getting worse. This doesn't take into account the whole picture, though—and it's important to read blogs like these to get the full concept of what the changes are going to
feel
like in Cataclysm.
The full text is included after the break, but let me give you a quick summary:
Healers in Wrath had way too much mana.
This doesn't seem like a bad thing, but in practice it meant that most healers pretty much never had to worry about mana, ever—which makes healing boring and one-dimensional. It meant you never had to choose between your
fast, inefficient heal
and your
slower, efficient heal
. Healing became a game of "spam your biggest heal over and over", and th

The Shattering is on the PTR, the TSA is in ur gamez, Tol Barad is terrabad, and Darnell's journey to Ironforge.. last night's episode of LEGENDARY was awesomazing.

Until they all start spamming chat and destroying Lore and my connection, forcing me to reboot and stop recording 5 simultaneous HD reruns of America's Next Top Model *shakes fist angrily* ..it was like a DDOS attack composed of Chuck Norris jokes.

Around the Site: Guild Advancement/Perks, Reforging in Weight Scales
We've made a few little additions around the site in the last few days that we wanted to draw your attention to—but perhaps were not large enough to warrant their own posts. :)
Guild Advancement in Cataclysm
We've recently updated our
Cataclysm Guide
(you know, that thing you see when you click the little fiery maelstrom at the top of the page there) with a bunch of new info!
We've added
all
the
guild perks
you gain as your guild is leveling up through Cataclysm.
We've added a table of all the
guild rewards
available in Cataclysm, along with their achievement and reputation requirements.

'The Shattering' (Patch 4.0.3a) Now On Public Test Realms
The patch we've all been waiting for, 4.0.3a, which will activate 'The Shattering' event with the destruction of Azeroth, is currently live for testing on the
Public Test Realms
. With Cataclysm's release date getting closer, there is much speculation on when this event will hit the live servers.
Blizzard has stated that The Shattering is

Once again I am breaking the unspoken "Never post about any games that are not WoW" rule, but the guys over at ZAM asked me to mention this and they have some pretty impressive content going up over there.
ZAM has just rolled out

There's also a bunch of really cool content up there, including a

World of Warcraft turns six on November 23rd, 2010! It’s been a truly incredible six years, and we’d like to thank you all for joining us on this momentous occasion. To celebrate, players that log into the game between the dates of November 30th and December 14th will receive a feat of strength added to their Achievements. We look forward to another great year ahead and many more to come!

There isn't a pet planned for this year, no. We plan to reserve this sort of celebratory bonus for the most notable milestones or events in the future.

Just some assorted World of Warcraft and Blizzard-related news from Blizzard and around the web that we thought might interest you guys!
Blizzard Looking For Console Developers?
The Diablo III community website was recently updated with a surprising news post from Blizzard, looking for console developers with which to explore a "Diablo-related concept." Interesting...
We’re exploring a Diablo-related concept for consoles and are currently looking to fill a few senior console-related positions on the Diablo III team. As we’ve said in the past, with proper care the gameplay could suit the console platform, and we’re interested in seeing what talent out there might be interested in such a project. If you’re passionate about all things Diablo and have the requisite skill and experience, then head over to our jobs site to check out the positions and apply.
Please note that this is not an announcement of a console title. We are first and foremost developing Diablo III for Windows and Mac PCs and don’t intend to allow any possibility of a console interpretation to

Tol Barad Official Preview
The Cataclysm draws near, but Blizzard still has a few zone previews to entertain us with. Tol Barad joins the rest, as the European WoW site narrates the story of of the Battleground-like world PvP zone and daily quests hub.
Read the preview snippet below and follow the link to the real deal!
Blizzard Entertainment
An island off the coast of the Eastern Kingdoms, Tol Barad is a historic land now sought-after by the leaders of the Horde and the Alliance. Its strategic, isolated location makes it an ideal stronghold from which to conduct military strikes. In World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, a battle will be waged to seize control of this prized territory. Should you triumph, unique rewards await you.

This is not the major pre-Cataclysm patch featuring the changed world
