Patch 4.0.3a Observations – Part 2
A couple more observations from my playtime tonight:
- New mob in the BRD Bar – Dark Iron Brewer. You can choose a dialogue option to get drunk with him
- Only the old (pre-sundering) version of [Dartol's Rod of Transformation] works outside Ashenvale. Bad luck if you didnt already get it!
- The emperor in BRD no longer calls the rest of the mobs in his room when you attack
Still going..
Achievement Forums now up!
This is a really big step for me! Thinking a few years back when I started saate.net I was pretty determined to never add forums to my site. I’d seen way too many blogs with dead forums on them that nobody used and I didn’t want to be one of ‘those’ sites.
Things have changed a lot this year for the site. One of my big goals had been to have a day where I broke 1440 hits, which is 1 visitor/minute for the whole day. I thought it a very lofty (and thus worthy) goal and wondered if it would ever arrive. I’ve well and truly surpassed that goal now and it indeed seems to be the ‘norm’ these days – check out the web stats for this past week:
Together we’ve built a great community of achievement fanatics (the 100 plus members in the insane hall of fame would certainly suggest that!) and I can think of no better way to continue to build upon that than for us to share our knowledge and communicate via some proper forums.
I’ve added a few sections that I thought made sense but would welcome feedback and direction! I’m also interested in identifying any regular contributors that could assist with forum moderation and general direction so leave a post on the forums and let me know.
Thanks everyone for your contributions to date – I’m really looking forward to what the future holds!
How many achievements can you see?
I was sitting in Dalaran on Aman’thul the other night and damn was it packed. I zoomed out and it occured to me that it might be cool to post the pic and see how many achievements we can see, based only on the picture.
Including multiples and feats of strength, let’s see how many we can come up with! I’ll go first – I can see that the guy fishing in the Dalaran fountain is using the [Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole] which means there’s the [Tuskarrmageddon] and [Somebody Likes Me] achievements in the picture.
Edit: Here’s a [High Res version of the pic] for you super sleuths out there.
