World First Conqueror of Ulduar <a href="http://guildvicarious.com/" target="_blank">Vicarious</a> (US-Area 52) was the first guild to complete the <a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?achievement=2904" target="_blank">Conqueror of Ulduar</a>, even if the immortal achievements arent as hard as the ones in Naxxramas it still takes a lot of time to learn the encounters and keeping everyone alive in 25-Man is never easy. Congratulations to them. <div align="center"><a href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2009/may/conqvicarious.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2009/may/conqvicarious_small.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></div> Recent In-Game Fixes - 06/02 Not really sure why I missed this one yesterday, I'll just blame it on Ensidia killing stuff. <div class="blizzquotewrap"><div class="blizzquoteinner"><div class="blizzquoteheader">Quote from: Crygil (<a href="http://blue.mmo-champion.com/23/16474158165-recent-ingame-fixes--41609.html" target="_blank" style="color: white;">Source</a>)</div><div class="blizzquote">06/02/09 <ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>Runic Power costs will no longer be lowered by abilities intended to lower mana costs.</li><li>The Leviathan MK II’s Self Repair will no longer be canceled when VX-001 casts Spinning Up. </li></ul></div></div></div> Blue posts <div class="blizzquotewrap"><div class="blizzquoteinner"><div class="blizzquoteheader">Quote from Blizzard staff</div><div class="blizzquote">Weekly Wintergrasp quests reset They reset at the same time as instances like Ulduar and Naxxramas during the weekly maintenance.

We continue to make more authenticators and will have them available in the online store as soon as we can. Unfortunately I don't have an eta to provide, but keep an eye out, they will be back.

If the rogues would start buffing people they'd probably notice too.

Nobody from any Community team is assigned to just one particular class. We monitor the forums of all classes, and collect feedback from all classes too. In the case of our current Class Q&A series, we are collecting questions from all classes across every WoW region in the world, and sending them through to our developers to be answered. We're not making major edits to the questions, so they are being sent pretty much as they are (as long as they are actual questions and not veiled suggestions! So don't worry, we don't necessarily need to be an expert in your class to collect your questions.

Many similar tones will share the same bear and cat forms though. We're looking to release a break down of the tauren skin tones and night elf hair colors, as they correspond with the different cat and bear form color options, shortly after the new night elf cat form art is released. [...] Some of the skin tones and hair colors share the same forms, so while there are 19 male tauren skin tones, 11 female tauren skin tones, and 8 night elf hair colors, the total number of form color combinations is very close amongst them.

Look, we get that.... <ul style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><li>1) Stacking mostly Int isn't fun.</li><li>2) Having 70%+ overheal isn't fun.</li><li>3) Focusing so much on the main tank in a raid isn't fun.</li><li>4) Casting nothing but Holy Light isn't fun.</li></ul> We do have some ideas for how to fix these problems. They aren't redesign-the-class level because frankly we don't think the class needs that, but the proposed changes would fix the above four problems. Understand though that part of reducing overhealing and being a more flexible raid healer might come with regen or mana pool nerfs. It is possible that the only thing keeping Holy paladins from being too good right now is their narrow focus.

Because we are trying to ensure this is posted in all regions at the same time, multiple translations have to be made and there's been a lot of questions submitted, so it's not a super fast process unfortunately, but it is being done this way with good intent.
