You guys are cruel! I feel for Bibi right now.

I reckon Boulboulie was preparing his site for this exact moment and is like a birthing coach with his web server.
"You can do it. Just breeeathe. Come on, that's it, just push! Come on, you can do it…"

any idea of the # of beta invites going out each day?
Antonius.Prime Jun 30th 2010 7:42PM
That could be taken ad a Very Silly Question. You'll get flamed, uprated, downrated, poked at and eventually get answers including "42" and "over 9000".
Kidding, no one knows, cept blizz, probably about 100 a week I'd reckon, depending on which beta phase they're in.
More if they want to load test servers I think.

Ovvvvveeeerrrrrrr................................ FORTY TWO!!!
(Am I doin' it right?)

Last time, they would send out huge groups of invites spaced a few weeks apart rather than slowly invite people constantly.
Pyromelter Jun 30th 2010 7:39PM
Something tells me the mmo-champ servers are about to be overwhelmed...
Viper007Bond Jun 30th 2010 7:44PM
Why? All of this information was posted a long time ago -- none of it is new.
Pyromelter Jun 30th 2010 7:50PM
It's not new, but it was coming out piece by piece. Even if those pieces were large, it wasn't everything. This is the whole kit-and-kaboodle being tossed out all at once, so the current load of people seeking info is going to be enormous.
Pyromelter Jun 30th 2010 7:51PM
Bleh, sorry for double post, but I can attest in trying to surf to mmochamp, it is lagging pretty hard right now. Maintain mmo-champ, maintain!

@viper A lot of the info isn't new, such as stuff already announced, and the talent trees for a few classes. However the numbers on a lot of spells and abilities have been changed, many in game-changing ways.
Pyromelter Jun 30th 2010 7:49PM
Oooh, didn't see the new DK ability Outbreak: Instantly applies Blood Plague and Frost Fever to the target enemy.
I have to wonder if this is going to eliminate icy touch and plague strike from dps rotations with the glyph of disease. I would also kill to have heart strike and death rune mastery in the unholy tree, and have a new unholy rotation be similar to the current blood rotation: Outbreak for diseases, scourge strike to turn UF runes into death runes, and spam the crap out of heart strike.
Ah, a guy can wish.
Pyromelter Jun 30th 2010 7:57PM
Okay, I'm poo'ing myself right now. I knew there would be stat inflation... but holy nuts and crackers. 146 agility and 216 stamina... on a crafted dagger? WOW. And crafted plate chests with over 500 stam? Forget 100k, we're gonna have tanks with 1million HP by the end of cataclysm.

The cooldown on Outbreak will prevent it from replacing IT/PS.
Liltimmy Jun 30th 2010 8:21PM
I think he means you would cast Outbreak at the start of a fight, then with the glyph of disease, refresh them with Pestilence. This would really only change the way that you apply the diseases initially, not the way they're refreshed.
Also seems like a good 'oh sh*&' button for when you let the diseases run out on your target and don't want to waste 2 GCD's reapplying.

Boubou has disabled a lot of site features to prevent crashes and has links up for info pages. All I can say is I am shocked, I expected the beta to be a ways off yet. Some people have reported having invites, I checked my battle.net account and email box, nothing there, I'll keep checking. If I don't get in, I get to concentrate on getting my live server alts armor and professions ready for Cata, though after browsing those new armor recipes, that might be a waste of time. Superior than anything I can get right now robe at level 81? Yes please.

Victory Rush
Instantly attack the target causing [ 45% of AP ] damage. Can only be used within 20 sec after you kill an enemy that yields experience or honor. Damage is based on your attack power. If used after a killing blow, will heal you for 30% of your maximum health.
5 yd range, Instant
Victory Rush heals you?!?!? HELL FRIGGIN YES!

Warriors and rogues with healing abilities: Welcome to Cataclysm... :(
NeoCloud61 Jun 30th 2010 9:17PM
Almost every other class has heals in one form or another. It's about time they did too. I'm looking forward to my downtime going out the window, finally.

Cower has been fixed! Kitty Druids Rejoice!
