Rage Normalization in Cataclysm
In
Cataclysm
, Blizzard is taking the opportunity to fix some of the problems with rage for both warriors and druids. Right now there are quite a few problems with rage—we're rage-starved at lower gear levels, and have next to infinite rage at high gear levels.
To fix this Blizzard plans to
normalize
rage in Cataclysm. We're going to generate a set amount of rage on auto-attack (200% if you crit), rage from being hit will be calculated based on the warriors health, more sources for instant rage will be introduced, all “on next swing” will be removed and
and
will become instant attacks.
With these changes Blizzard hopes to make playing these classes a little more interesting, and hopefully make rage-management more a part of playing the character.

Eyonix Says Goodbye
Today some sad news came across the official forums, as everyone's favorite dragon whelping
Eyonix
has announced he will be leaving Blizzard for other opportunities. Eyonix has been with us for nearly 6 years as a community manager, we frequently have seen him posting important information and getting involved with discussions throughout the forums.
For nearly six years, we've shared our thoughts with one and other, we've laughed, we've argued, and we've cried -- the crying part was just me wasn't it? Those times, I'm afraid must come to an end as I've made the decision to explore opportunities outside of Blizzard.
It has very honestly been a huge pleasure, and I thank you all for allowing 'Eyonix' to always remain a very fond memory as I move on.
Even though I've personally never met the man behind the dragon, he will be sorely missed! Good luck with your future endeavors, Eyonix!

New Item: Hellfire Kickin' Taco Supreme
We uncovered some
exclusive
news for you! By digging deep into the game files, we managed to uncover a new item added in patch 3.3.3:
!
This item was apparently unlocked in the maintenance earlier this week, and according to our latest information, the tacos drop from
Maître des traditions Skosiris
in Shattrath City. If you manage to survive long enough to bring him down, he has a 100% chance to share one of these delicious tacos with you!
So far no one has managed to pick some up in-game yet. If you're the first, be sure to submit a screenshot—and don't forget to run the
Wowhead Client
to get us the data!
In light of this great tribute to the
Overlord of Tacohead
himself, we've decided to rename the site in celebration.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
Tacohead

Blizzard Introduces the Story Forum
Blizzard yesterday introduced a new board on the World of Warcraft official forums, aptly named the
Story Forum
. In it players are urged to discuss storylines from throughout the Warcraft universe, including the ones told in game as well as through the novels, manga, comics and short stories that Blizzard publishes.
The most interesting portion about the new Story Forum is Blizzard plans on using it as a way to let users
influence
the stories they will publish. With this Blizzard hopes to give us a direct line to story developers, so they can get specific examples of what we like and don't like to make the story better for us all.
You can read the original announcements after the break, or check out the official forum

Icecrown Citadel Raid Buff Increased to 10%
The raid buffs that
were introduced
at the beginning of the month for
Citadelle de la Couronne de glace
have been increased in this morning's maintenance. Originally set to increase damage, healing, absorption effects and health by 5%,
Force de Wrynn
and
Chant de guerre de Hurlenfer
have now been increased to
10%
.
Now that the first increase in the buff is now active we have an idea of how often the buff will increase. Expect the next increase (15%) on
April 27th
, which is four weeks from today.

New Feature: Level 85 Talent Calculator
If you've been looking closely, you may have noticed a new button pop up on our
talent calculator
recently!
We've added a
button which lets you increase the level cap to
85

Cataclysm

Remember, we're obviously going to get a pretty major

Bloodbathed Frostbrood Vanquisher in 3D!
In this last patch, we've been able to find the model for the

This one's a beauty. You earn it for completing the 10-player version of
Gloire à l'écumeur de raids de la Couronne de glace (10 joueurs)

Cryptozoic Takes Over World of Warcraft TCG
A month and a half ago Blizzard
announced
they were parting ways with Upper Deck, and they would in the near future announce some exciting changes coming to the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game.
That announcement has arrived! Blizzard, in partnership with
Cryptozoic Entertainment
will begin its (hopefully) long and fruitful relationship this May, with the release of the Wrathgate expansion set for the TCG.
“Having been fully involved with the development of the World of Warcraft TCG from day one, I've always been passionate about taking it into the future,” said Cory Jones, Cryptozoic’s President and Chief Creative Officer, and formerly Blizzard Entertainment's lead business and development liaison for the TCG. “I'm pleased to say that the players have a lot to look forward to as we continue developing and evolving the game to match the action and spirit of World of Warcraft.”
You can find out more about Cryptozoic on their
official website

New Map for the Ruby Sanctum!
Something a little surprising was discovered in the patch files for 3.3.3, a new version of map for
Le sanctum Rubis
was tucked away neatly inside. On the right you can see the actual map, in the center we are pretty sure is
Halion the Twilight Destroyer
with his 3 lieutenants Baltharus the Warborn, General Zarithrian and Saviana Ragefire surrounding him.

Let Me Wowhead That For You
There was a
thread
that went around a little while ago where someone mentioned a website called
LMGTFY.com
, that internet users can take advantage of to passive-aggressively help their friends find the answers to their questions.
Keeano
asked the following central question:
Can we as a community, instead of flaming others, try better to teach them to use the database, and instruct on how to use filters instead of doing it for them?
This is a critically important part of the Wowhead forum community, and a question I encourage each of you to ask yourself. But somewhere in that thread, a user named
tbeseda
got a funny idea—and a funny domain name.
In turn, I wish to present to you:
Let Me Wowhead That For You.
