The lovely Veronica Belmont joins us this week on RW to kind of talk about World of Warcraft, and of course we get completely off topic. We tried, but Seven cracked and turned to cheesy teen magazines as his security blanket. Although, this week we do manage to talk about the latest from the PTR and what to expect when it comes to raiding in patch 3.3. Seven collects the tears of Paladins everywhere as he talks about images of the next season of pvp gear, and Brian offers favors for a little KT pet off the new Blizzard pet store. Really, did you expect anything else from us?

Patch 3.3 Notes
Naxxramas
Players no longer need to kill the final bosses in all four wings of this dungeon in order to teleport to Sapphiron. Teleportation orbs have been added to allow players access back and forth from Sapphiron’s lair.
Quest Tracking Feature
Players can now track quest objectives on the map (‘M’ key).
Quest Log
- A Show Map button has been added to the Quest Log. Selecting a quest and pressing this button will open the map for the zone in which the quest objective is located displaying the associated area of interest. Any other active quests in a player’s Quest Log for that zone will also be displayed.
- Map
- The map interface has been separated into four separate panes: a map pane (left), a pane listing active quest names for the zone being viewed (right), a pane listing the full quest text for any highlighted quest (bottom left), and a pane listing the quest rewards for any highlighted quest (bottom right).
- All active quests listed in the right pane for the zone being viewed on the map will be assigned a number. These numbers will be displayed on the map according to the areas of interest for each quest.
- Highlighting a quest name in the right pane will highlight the corresponding area of interest on the map in the left pane, show its quest text in the lower left pane, and list the quest rewards in the lower right pane.
- Given that some quest objectives can be achieved in multiple locations within a given zone, highlighting such a quest will highlight an area of interest closest in proximity to the character’s current location.
- This feature can be disabled by un-checking the Show Quest Objectives box in the bottom right corner of the new map interface, restoring the map to its standard full-screen display.
- Clicking on the arrow in the top right corner of the new map interface will hide all but the map pane, bringing the map out of full-screen mode and allowing players to leave it open while navigating a zone or engaging in combat.
Objectives Tracking
- This frame has been improved to offer new functionality and can be used with the new shrunken map option.
- The Objectives frame is now docked below the mini-map next to the right 2 action bars and will track up to 12 quests for a zone.
- Numbers have been added next to each quest name and objective corresponding with those areas of interest displayed on the map.
- If a quest objective has been completed, the number will be replaced with a yellow question mark symbol.
- The arrow button in the top right corner of the Objectives frame can be used to toggle between minimizing and maximizing the quest objective display.
Quest Difficulty Tracking
This feature is off by default and can be enabled in the Objectives window from the Interface Options menu. Turning this feature on will color-code all quest names displayed in the map interface according to difficulty (grey, green, yellow, orange, and red).

Smart Ass Blue Post of the Week
“
So you log in and on your charecter list you see a toon you never created. You jump on it to see what its all about and notice by some twisted fate your were granted GM powers!
Depending on my mood I would:
A) Notify a server GM immediately.
B) Spawn 10 Anub’arak in every city.
What would you do?
Blue:
C) Be unable to log into the standard game client, as access levels allotting a character the power alluded to in choice B are not possible with any client connecting to World of Warcraft realms outside of Blizzard Entertainment offices.
…Sorry, did I ruin the imaginative factor of this thread?
