Chinese WoW Player Sleeps With Guild Members “For the Alliance”

 


World of Warcraft players have gone viral in some pretty weird ways in the past, but a Chinese gamer may have created a new piece of Chinese internet history recently when he told guild members that he had had one night stands with several of the guild’s female members “for the Alliance.” His chat with another WoW player about his exploits has since been posted to a number of gaming sites (including QQ Games) and has attracted hundreds of comments. After an extended discussion, the other player asks “So you switched servers and came into our guild just to do our girls?” and the first gamer responds simply: “For the Alliance.”

Some netizens are clearly amused. “For the Alliance, I've got to upvote that,” wrote one commenter in Anhui province. “Fighting for the Alliance both online and off; all Alliance players should support this.” “Wow, what a bad ass response,” wrote another commenter in Zhengzhou.

It’s not all a joke though, as the chat and comments threads have both raised a lot of questions about the way women are viewed and treated online. The player who slept with the girls, for example, argued that everyone involved was an adult, and there was no reason to publicize or make a big deal out of his sex life or the sex lives of these female players. But the guild member he was chatting with berated him for refusing to “take responsibility” for his actions.

Some of the comments on the story are also blatantly sexist. One Guangxi commenter wrote, “I’d dare to say that any girl who plays games all day is a mess and smokes cigarettes. If you treat girls in the game as prostitutes it’s fine, but don’t take them at face value; they act very innocent in the chat but their professional skills under the sheets are world-class.”

Luckily, it seems that the identity of the girls the WoW player slept with — if his story is actually true — haven’t been revealed by him or by the angry guild member he was chatting with. In the midst of this strange story, that certainly seems to be the bright spot, especially since there’s no real evidence the story is even true. But the online controversy over it has brought the issue of sexism in China’s gaming community boiling to the surface once again, and the picture isn't pretty.  world of warcraft gold

Sexism in the Chinese gaming community is an issue we will be looking into in more depth over the next few weeks. If you have a relevant story to share, or if you’re a female Chinese gamer and would like to offer your opinion, please leave a comment or get in touch with us!

Diablo 3 News - Jay Wilson's Departure Stirs Angry Debate

 

     The forum thread where Blizzard's Jay Wilson announced his departure from the Diablo 3 team spawned a vitriolic discussion about the game and saw pointed attacks launched at Wilson himself. In response, Blizzard's Chief Creative Officer Rob Pardo stepped into the fray.

     This thread saddens me greatly. I know that the Battle.net forums have earned a reputation for rough justice, but I do not believe justice is being served by how people are speaking about Jay’s departure from Diablo III.

     I am very proud of the Diablo franchise and what the team was able to accomplish with Diablo III. As a gamer I have enjoyed the game and played for many, many nights with friends and family. I'm not, however, going to use that as an excuse. The Diablo community deserves an even better game from Blizzard and we are committed to improving it. We have a talented team in place and have no intention of stopping work on Diablo III until it is the best game in the franchise.

     I'm the only person in this thread who has actually worked with Jay. I hired Jay to head up the Diablo project and had the pleasure of getting to work with him, both in building the team and designing the game. He has great design instincts and has added so much to the franchise with his feel for visceral combat, boss battles, and an unparalleled knack for making it fun to smash bad guys. I've worked with many, many designers at Blizzard and Jay is one of the best. He has a great career at Blizzard ahead of him and I guarantee that you will enjoy Jay’s game designs in future Blizzard games.buy diablo gold cheap  

    If you love Diablo as much as we do, then please continue to let us know how you feel we can improve the game. If you still feel the need to dish out blame, then I would prefer you direct it at me. I was the executive producer on the project; I hired Jay and I gave him advice and direction throughout the development process. I was ultimately responsible for the game we released and take full responsibility for the quality of the result.

Continent of the Ninth Seal: Busting Heads and Chaining Combos in a Faraway Place

     Gamers who have had a taste of the Chinese massively multi player online scene may recall an action title called Continent of the Ninth Seal (or C9) a year or so ago. Fast forward to this month, and GameSpot Asia recently got some hands-on time with the global version of the MMOG. Bugs notwithstanding, we were surprised about how effectively it conveys its message of unbridled action.

     After dealing with a tutorial that involved a fight against a giant beast monkey and a village rescue from a pack of gnolls and goblins, we were thrust into quest after quest to move the plot along. We were accompanied by AI soldiers John and Fortz; they weren't much help, but they serve more as companions to forward the story, thanks to their banter. While minimal and predictable in nature, the publisher, Webzen, is doing its best within the free-to-play structure.

    Players will get to choose from the close-ranged fighter (which we picked), the long-range hunter, and the spell casting shaman, as well as the option to not only customize how they look, but also see how they would look covered up with high-level armor in the future.(1)  sell C9 Gold items COTN

    Whether you're a melee brawler or a spell caster, juggling enemies will be commonplace in C9's combat.

    Players have their basic attacks mapped to the left and right mouse buttons, and additional skills from specific classes can be mapped to numbered keys. Each class has its own set of active skills, command skills pulled off with the basic controls, and passive skills that increase stats. Leveling up earns you skill points, which you can spend on the aforementioned skills via a designated trainer in the town hub. There's also a short clip of each activated skill on the right of the skill menu that shows off how each action looks, so that you have a clear idea of what you're upgrading with a trainer or what you wish to chain together for your future battles.

    Within mere hours, we were chaining up attacks and beating up mobs of imps, goblins, bird men, gnolls, and other humanoid uglies until kingdom come, thanks to the easy controls and tweaked-up action role-playing game play. Every hit we dished out felt impactful, and every special move we lined up came out responsively, making us feel like bad asses from the get-go. Our elite fighter could bust up a mob with a combination of a thrust kick (a thrust attack followed by circular swipes) and a wide-range bash and kick attack. To clean up the mess, we finished the mob off with the upper swing technique, which launched enemies into the air, allowing us to juggle them with normal attacks as long as we were standing at the correct distance.  Buy content of the ninth gold

   On top of that, we could activate fury formation by clicking both the left and right mouse buttons after our purple fury meter was full from all of the bloodshed. This triggered an aura surrounding our warrior that gave him super armor (can't get knocked down), increased attack and movement speed, and heightened damage and defense ratings for a short period of time.(2)

   The brutal kruger lives up to its moniker.
   The only time we used this was when we were overwhelmed during a boss fight at the end of a dungeon. Specifically, we had to use it during a fight in the Imp Mines against the brutal kruger, a giant ogre that used a flail and shield to deal huge areas of knock back damage. Because we couldn't rely on potions due to their cool down periods, we resorted to using all of our accumulated skills in tandem with the fury formation technique to best giants like the kruger.

   If you have any experience with action games like Devil May Cry or even the recently released Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, you'll feel right at home with C9's mechanics. Because there isn't a targeting system at work here, gamers will have to land their special moves at anyone or anything within their line of sight. Mastering the distance of each class's attacks is key in pulling off the longest chain possible, especially against tougher bosses in future instances that do not give you room to breathe.

   Bumping up the difficulty within the same instance showed some differences in level layout and introduced a tougher version of an existing enemy. Case in point: We came across a purple imp with higher hit points in the Imp Forest and more bomb-chucking mole creatures on a harder version of the Imp Mines. We recommend that you find a cooperative group if you're playing a dungeon on the highest difficulty.

   By the time you reach level 10, which really shouldn't take too long in the standards of an MMOG, you have the option to promote your class via a time trial. You have to kill a mob of enemies in an arena for three rounds before time runs out, either on your own or with an online party. Traps mix things up, like a lightning bolt shooting downward after every five seconds during a bout. As soon as you reach level 20, you can choose different classes that have their own sets of skills and abilities.  cheap C9 gold      Buy Dungeon Fighter Online gold

   Daily bonuses are given for each day of the week that you are playing on the servers; whether you get a short boost in experience-points acquisition on a Monday or an increase in gold rewards on a Wednesday, it's a nice feature to have, and it gives an incentive to players to keep on grinding. Non combat activities include getting a job as an artisan; once you select your craft of choice, you can start leveling up your artisan skill to make items for selling or equipping yourself. Later on, you can even change how your items and gear look as you level up by using the town blacksmith.(3)

    There is more to C9 than just bird man genocide. Kinda.
    MMO fans craving player-versus-player action aren't left out of the loop, although at this point in time, most of them aren't available in the beta. There's a death match-esque mode called Rank & Destroy and a practice arena where you can test your skills against bots.

    While C9 isn't aiming to replace WoW or Star Wars: The Old Republic, gamers who just want to go in for a fight with like-minded groups should give this MMOG a try. At its primal level, the combat feels satisfying, even in a closed-beta state, and the crafting and customization systems are promising enough to give long-term players the tools to deck out their avatars. The closed beta is currently going on until February 28. Webzen stated that the open beta will be available this later this year.    ou acheter des kamas    Buy RS/Runescape Gold

Diablo 3PVP announcement out before analysis

PVP mode conjecture

According to the reference article was inferred PVP will include the mode of death. Similar to the quake and Unreal Tournament death immediately resurrected per round limit time.

The victor's judgment may be two ways, the than both "poll quantity, there is a probably annihilate the enemy of all the number of.

The first way is easy to understand, and the second CS scoring team victory conditions can actually understand each other all off, and then move on to the next disc. From before revealed pvp video, I think the possibility of the second. Does not exclude that both forms are present.

Gain buff, if the two teams are not equal in the number of the small number of the party may get corresponding buff compensation, the Reference wow Wintergrasp battle. So when 1VS4 when 4 person party is likely to face a Superman.

Battle will to add some elements, first blood, god like.

The winner team will have points rewards, points may change enhancement syrup (freedom of action, fast-moving, Invincible class) and Diablo 3 gold.

Equipment strengthening may occur, such as strengthening the equipment to increase one pair pve small properties, such as lower control time.

PVP References:

The 1.05 PTR patch PVP information integration information

Team and injury

Team combat, in general, the class with is definitely a must. However, taking into account not everyone is able to cobble together a team of three of his teammates, so the team single row randomness great.

If a particular team, generally have as many strong control of the remote class, as many do not need to contact can cause harm class, there is high mobility class.

Anti-beat is a must!

The level of equipment, to ensure that the case of certain dps count dodge EHP1000K should withstand the ceiling of an ordinary player.

Current pve damage point of view, dps is much greater than the ehp is - the template of the 6000 defense 600 resistance is 88.15% damage reduction, we can get this equation dodge 100W X (1-88. 15%) X% = The actual layout value of life. Dodge% different occupations.

Of course, different class have varying degrees of harm reduction, but not always resident. Harm reduction, but not the weakest moment of skill when those life and death decisions are not skills bring relief injury.

Current pve damage point of view, the single critical hit damage 300K should be the end of the class can easily do. Assumptions monster Armor 0 resistance, 300K is the actual damage, 3 rounds of attacks can kill a 1000K EHP players.

I think pvp damage in ordinary pve damage between 12% to 9% more likely.

Selected targets in team battles is very important, that is, set the fire. The selected set fire to the target, to prevent their escape, this is a test of the team. So strong control class (coma, frozen) is a must.

Skills and attributes

Valuable skills to the following categories:

High mobile class, high outbreak class, high range, high control, high damage class relief.

Highly mobile class and high damage class relief to not have to explain.

High outbreak of class is generally very fast hands, the shortest time to reach maximum output. Such as the monks seven stars, the DH the cluster Arrow, the Master transfiguration Barbarian Saiyan witch doctor pushed Bear / Colossus transfiguration DH mines too restrictive and difficult known high outbreak class.

High range, is the force of containment, remote exclusive.

High control of the basic skills with% coma, fear, freezing the hands speed is very important, given the body ...

Some properties

Stamina, Armor, resistance is not to say, the more the better.

Vampire

Fancy beautiful properties. Assuming that the target 70K blood to DH for players 25% +6% +3% = 34% vampire. No the purgatory vampire punishment case, the amount of blood can kill target is 70K x 34% = 23.8K, it does not look a lot.

Of course, this is just an ideal state, in actual combat to keep 34% of the blood-sucking unlikely to kill a target. Your opponent is not only the enemy, but also your teammates - they also damage output, and you grab.

However, if to Superman 1VS4 the different. The Superman party to kill each other all get blood 95.2K, which can be basically for Superman full of blood. One's own people, the less each other more, the higher the value of the vampire.

Strike back

Let's look at 1000 strike back with a reply. Or the 70K of sandbags view: the assumption, a class of actual (non-forum) dps can reach 800K pvp damage as normal damage, 10% lower dps should be 80K.

Sandbags to wear clothes 6000 Armor, 600 resistance, ehp probably 590,634.92 Liaodao sandbags needed time of 7.38 seconds. Assuming that the speed of our attack is 2, is 14.76 times the number of attacks. Should be 15 times. The recovery of the resulting 15,000 blood (without regard to the skills hit back to punish).

Attack faster, hit back the greater the value. Similarly vampire, the fewer people, the higher the value, the more the enemy. dps the smaller the higher the income.

Seconds back

In fact, seconds back without much explanation, as long as alive. Assuming 1000 sec, 10 seconds to live alone, 10,000 blood back (assuming dissatisfied with blood).

After all, the pvp not mp10 playing Ards Modan very common, so the battle should be more than one minute. So, the more insignificant the higher the value, the more resistance to beat the higher the value, the higher the value the higher the heap.

Lower control time, the majority of the class has a solution to control skills. Suppose pvp control is not decreasing, probably need more than 5 to achieve a 65% reduction and control equipment.

The face of the second control will still be controlled to be 1.75 seconds. This property if the premise without sacrificing too much of the main attributes, or heap.

% Elemental damage

% Damage increase to be some kind of elemental damage, defensive resistance corresponding to these injuries. If the opponent is resistant to short board, may have to suffer.

Ice deceleration injury can provide the skills and runes that caused XXX% weapon damage. Legal systems to suffer some, mostly elemental damage, so little ice damage. Income maximum possible DH.

Kill the recovery and reflection damage before making further changes to not to say.

The above is a personal idea of some pvp.

Diablo 3 player: what is to save you, my blacksmith

First of all, let us analyze why blacksmith reduced to such a position.

Blacksmith function is similar to gambling, that is to spend a lot of money in exchange for equipment to the NPC, but the advantage of the gambling money to buy time, that is, with less time to get more equipment, however the blacksmith-made equipment function is too cumbersome, players even higher than the efficiency through the brush map blacksmith blacksmith who will do?

Not to mention the equipment by AH is fast and efficient, higher cost performance.    Diablo 3 gold buying

So what is to save the blacksmith do?

The above analysis of why blacksmith so unpopular, summed up in the word is the function of the blacksmith Get the overlapping functions of the equipment with ordinary MF process. And blacksmith's function should be completely separated from the manufacturing equipment, into a system to improve the existing equipment. In other words the main function of the blacksmith the specializes affixes system.

Looking back now, the role of D2 in jewelry and Rune, is nothing more than a reinforcement in the form of equipment affixes.

Some suggestions:

1. Manufacturing equipment systems to separate and become mere gambling isolated AH (everyone can be unidentified equipment linked to a fixed price by rating AH).

2. random enhanced of certain affixes properties in the piece of equipment on the ceiling.

For example: upgraded helmet +100 Strength +130 force.

or: 10% up to 12% repulsed affixes repulsed affixes.

3. Increasing random one affixes. Equipment (occupying the position of a Socket original Jewelry role).

For example: two holes of the helmet to the addition of two new affixes.

4. Equipment Socket!

5. affixes. Random washed off a randomly generated another affix.

Example: Random wash belt forces affixes, randomly generated physique affixes.

6. decomposition equipment and MF material obtained by a certain formula, can be synthesized specific affixes materials.

7. Features require rare materials and spend, the higher the possibility of the material as possible to spend the higher get good affixes, simultaneously generate the the new affixes probability and MF values ??related.

8. Affixes the demand generated material falling synthesis similar to Rune system.

9. Affixes the swap rate should be close to the the rare equipment off rate and improve the utilization rate of its AH.

Blacksmith's positioning should not be made equipment, but rather like the presence of D2 Horadric Cube, Diablo 3 is not just a game brush equipment, through the transformation of equipment to get the equipment to strengthen the existing equipment can greatly extension of Diablo 3's game time.     D3 gold
