Wowhead Introduces Unified Login For Your ZAM Accounts
Wowhead and other ZAM sites (such as
TankSpot
and
ZAM
) will now feature unified login. All of your ZAM Network accounts that use the same email address will have the same master password and premium status. You can even log in to Wowhead with your email address now!
For those without other ZAM accounts, the login process will remain exactly the same.
If you have any other ZAM accounts with the same email address you will need to merge them. The merge process begins the first time you log into any of the affected sites. The first account that you log in with will set the master password for that email address. Thereafter, logging in to any other site with an account that uses the same email address will request a master password so you can merge your accounts.
If you have multiple accounts with multiple different emails, you can also now merge them into one unified account by changing your email address to match. You will be asked for your master password to authorize merging your email addresses. Changing your email address or password on any ZAM site will make similar changes on all other sites you use your unified login with.
Your login information is always st

Blizzard Posts on Cataclysm Raid Content: Is It Too Inaccessible?
Some fresh new Blizzard posts today discussing the accessibility and difficulty of Cataclysm raid content. While I'm sure most of this will be immediately dismissed as "casuals whining, lol" the posters do bring up some valid points and the Blizzard posters provide some excellent and thought-out answers. Not everyone is in a big guild, or can commit the time to meet certain raiding expectations - is Cataclysm content not intended for them? If not, what content is? Remember when it was the
mobs
who got buffed in raid dungeons (
Холод Трона
or
Сияние Солнечного Колодца
, anyone)?
How do you feel about the current state of Cataclysm raid content? Too hard? Too easy? TOO SOON?

Blizzard's Ask the Devs #3: User Interface
Blizzard has opened up yet another Ask the Devs Q+A thread, with this one asking for questions related to the World of Warcraft User Interface. Ever wonder why so many seemingly fundamental functionalities are limited to addons instead of being included in the default interface? Curious about upcoming UI changes in 4.1? Now's your chance to ask!
Be sure to check out Blizzard's previous Q+As:
Ask the Devs Q+A #1: General

As this is a
global
Q+A, threads will be made available to both US and EU. So far, EU players can submit their questions
here
and the US thread has yet to be posted. We will, of course, update the blog when it has been - so think of some really good questions!
Do not despair. We post the question for each region at an optimal time for that region (thus why EU posted "early".) In this case, we haven't posted for the North Ame

Changes to Valor Points and "Heroic Dailies" in Patch 4.1
Blizzard poster Lylirra has just revealed some details about the upcoming changes to the "daily" dungeon system and documents the new procedures for earning Valor Points this way. You can check out the full Blizzard posts after the break, but the basic rundown is:
You can earn
up to
980 VP per week from random Heroic dungeons.
Of that 980 VP, only 490 VP can be earned from tier 1 Cataclysm Heroics. The remaining 490 VP must be earned by running Rise of the Zandalari Heroics (tier 2).
Alternatively, you can reach the 980 VP cap exclusively by running tier 2 Heroics.
The 980 VP you can earn from running tier 1 and tier 2 random Heroic dungeons will count towards your weekly overall cap of 1250 VP.
And, as stated before, if you want to maximize your VP gains, you can still reach the overall weekly cap of 1250 by defeating raid level content.
What do you think? Personally, I'll enjoy being able to run all of my Heroics on a day that I can dedicate the time rather than sitting in queues every day, but how do you think this will affect Dungeon Finder queue dura

Latest Cataclysm Hotfixes (March 2 - 16)
It's been so long without Cataclysm hotfixes, I almost missed these! *runs away and hides*
Just a few new hotfixes since March began, as I'm sure Blizzard is extremely busy preparing for patch 4.1 and may finally be running out of things to hotfix in patch 4.0.6 (though I'm sure many of you guys will quickly and eagerly tell me how very wrong I am about that). There's still some time before 4.1 hits so we'll probably see a lot of necessary changes either making their way live or being implemented with the next patch!
This latest batch of hotfixes includes some modifications to Heroic difficulty
Твердыня Крыла Тьмы
encounters, as well as few other fixes (no more cheesing the flag in
Два Пика
, no more kiting
Шандриса Оперенная Луна
to
Оргриммар

Patch 4.1 - PTR Build 13750 - 3D Models (Lions and Ice Cream and Bears, Oh My!)
That's right -
ice cream
. There weren't very many new models this patch but the ones that were included definitely stand out. In addition, we've (also) decided to post the winged lion model that you may have already seen floating around other sites. This model was actually added a few builds ago but looks rather unfinished at this time. We will, of course, post an updated version as soon as its available. So... what do you think it is?
In addition to the lion, we've also got a new Amani Bear model which is simply a recoloring of the old
Аманийский боевой медведь
. No word yet on whether or not this is the finished version of the upcoming
Аманийский боевой медведь
, or simply a dungeon NPC or otherwise, but judging by the fact that the Zul'Gurub raptor looks to have gotten a recolor as well, this may be the case. Laaaaaaaaaaame. Oh, well!

Patch 4.1 - Zul'Aman and Zul'Gurub Items on PTR
As I'm sure many of you have noticed, the upcoming patch 4.1 marks the return of the classic
Zul'Aman
and
Zul'Gurub
raids as 5-player Heroic dungeons, featuring item level 353 epic quality loot! These items have just shown up in the latest PTR data and we've got 'em! Unfortunately, the items are not yet implemented as drops and do not yet feature unique models, so we do not yet have specific boss drop data or pretty 3D models - yet! However, as soon as the information is available, we'll definitely update - so stay tuned!

Patch 4.1 - PTR Build 13726 - Spell Changes
A new PTR patch has just been released, and with it came a few minor class changes and (mostly) a bunch of tooltip and typo fixes. Many of these class changes were previously announced with last week's
PTR patch notes update
.
The only particularly notable change in this latest set of spell diffs:
Охотник
-
Залп
and
Отвлекающий выстрел
now have a 40 yard range, up from 35 yards.

- If the tooltip change is to be believed, it appears that the
buff duration has been removed. This means that

Blizzard Posts on Upcoming 4.1 Features (Including Guild Challenges!)
It looks like Patch 4.1 will include a feature we weren't expecting -
guild challenges
! I'm sure many of you remember the
heated discussion regarding guild reputation
on the official forums a while back, where many players suggested adding guild quests as a method of earning reputation and experience. Looks like Blizzard agreed! We don't have any details yet on these quests or what they'll entail or reward, but you can be sure that as soon as the information is available we'll bring it to you!
Warriors and clothies will be happy to learn that ZA/ZG will also feature appropriately itemized pre-raid ranged slot weapons, something that many players were extremely disappointed over the Justice Points vendor lacking. In addition, as a little something for archaeologists - players will appropriately leveled archaeology will be able to unlock the new Edge of Madness bosses in Zul'Gurub! Players may recall that in Classic Zul'Gurub, this event required an alchemist to farm annoying materials (

Patch 4.1 - 3D Models - Huge Assortment of Firelands Raid + PVP Weapons
Wow! We've found a
ton
of new weapon models for you guys to check out, featuring loot from the upcoming (well, patch 4.2)
Firelands Raid
as well as new PVP weapons! Each item features tons of recolors, so it's uncertain as to which ones will be used when they are assigned to live items. In the meantime, you should definitely check them all out!
Of course, remember that even though these items were found in the 4.1 PTR files, we will most likely not see the items that they are attached to until 4.2 hits the PTRs (unless they start showing us Firelands raid goodies sooner, like those
trinkets
)!
It's been a while since we've had such a huge assortment of new weapon models to show off and we're really excited to find more as new PTR patches come out, so keep checking the blog!

Blizzard Says Putting Firelands in 4.1 Would Be "Too Soon!"
Just a quick Blizzard confirmation on the news we reported last night regarding a recent interview with Eurogamer.net at GDC, in which Blizzard stated that the Firelands raid would not be included in the upcoming patch 4.1!
Check out the original report here!
We will instead be seeing the Firelands raid added as part of patch
4.2

By now you’ve seen that the redesigned Heroic five-player dungeon versions of Zul'Aman and Zul'Gurub are on the PTR, featuring all-new boss mechanics, updated epic-level loot, and some rare mounts for players to try to tame.
You may be asking, "where's Firelands?”
Our goal with each major patch release, and especially with each expansion, is to learn from the past and use that knowledge to improve the game as we move forward. One of our biggest regrets in the pacing of Wrath of the Lich King was the Crusaders' Coliseum. The Trial of the Champion 10- and 25-player raid was released while many raiders were still busy with Ulduar, which meant a premature end to Ulduar raiding -- an
