WoW Class Guide: How to Decide Which Class it is That You Want

By hallbravo

There are many choices and options available in the game World of Warcraft. It can be extremely difficult to choose a class, particularly when you have just started playing. To help you choose a class, you’ll need some knowledge of the different classes available. As you read through the Wow class guide, we’ll introduce you to the basic characteristic that some popular classes the World of Warcraft offers.

Let’s start with one of the fan favorites: the WoW Hunter. The hunter uses mostly bows and therefore is restricted to ranged battles. The hunter really depends on equipments to survive as well as on healers. However, this class is one of the best ones to use when you want to play alone, hiding and dodging enemies. You can summon your pet to trap enemies to and avoid damage.

Any wow class guide will tell you how much the hunter is different from the Warrior. The warrior is the tanks of the World of Warcraft. A WoW Warrior can take hits pretty well. Unlike the hunter, they specialize on melee battles. That means that they need to be at close range in order to effectively deal damage. Warriors are high in demand because they are very flexible in battle even though they are not the strongest melee class (that honor belongs to rogues).

Let’s look at the WoW Mage. What fantasy game or (Wow class guide for that matter) would be complete without having a straight up magic user? A mage is the best class when you want to deal lots of damage with magic. The problem is that they can’t wear armor protection. Also, a lot of spells can be quite slow. That is why it is best for mages to be in groups.

Finally, there are the priests. Priests don’t deal much damage, nor can they withstand damage well. They can’t wear armor at all. But priests have something that no other class has. They are the healers of the Wow, and this makes them very important to any group. In fact, the best groups that survive long are ones that have priests. If you consult a Wow class guide, you will discover that priest, though seemingly weak, are actually the most in demand class. However, if you love dealing damage, then this class will not be that fun for you.

So there you have it. Just remember that all classes are basically well balanced in abilities. It all depends on your taste and gaming style. So choose well and enjoy your game-play.

Getting Gold In WoW

By hallbravo

Making money in World of Warcraft can be one of the most dificult aspects of the game.

Check this out if you are having trouble making money in World of Warcraft

Once you know how, making money is not as hard as it first may seem. There are many ways
you can build your online wealth without spending hours of time. Some of these are grinding
the right mobs, flipping the auction house, questing, and professions. Some of these do
take some time, but they are more profitable if you know when and where to do them to be
most effective.

Grinding, sometimes also called farming, can be a very good way to make some money, especially as you get higher in levels and have more options on where to go. If you are just starting out and are grinding for money i suggest staying with humanoid monsters. They drop money, and also items you can make money from. When farming to get money, try not
to just grab every drop. Learn what sells and what doesn’t. this can be achieved at the auction house with just a little time researching what is posted and what is selling.
The Defias humans in Elwynn Forest are a reliable place to start. Trolls are great if you are a gnome. They will give money and items which can be sold.
Quests pay you money or give you items you can sell if you do not need them so they are
always a good way to make money.  Also, once you hit level 10, dont just rush forward to the
next area. Now you can travel to other areas. At this point Try going to the other areas and grind out some of the low level quests. It shouldnt take much time since you are higher level than most of the mobs. If you are geared up for your level, you wont be spending much and selling everything you get. It also will help build your reputation which will become critical later in the game. It is a smart idea to go to the other areas while you still get experience and run their quests.

At around level 35 soloing Deadmines should be achievable. Deadmines is one of my favorite places for grinding gold. Get the largest bags available, then as you go drop any white or gray items that you get. I still wind up dropping some of the greens i get because I just do not have the room to cary them all. Check the auction house before you go to see what to drop and what to keep.

Check this out for more tips on getting gold in WoW

Taking time to learn to use the auction house can be rewarding in
the game. By watching what is selling and for how much you can flip items. Flipping is a way of getting items on the auction house then reselling them for a higher price. I usually set my buy price at least double what i payed for it. Also, make sure you take into account any auction house fees you paid, as these cut  into your profits.

Professions can also be a great way to make money as you advance in the game. If you are interested in making money stick with the gathering professions. Skinning and Mining are both easy to level and profitable. when mining you should check your auction house to see if raw ores or smelted ores sell better. This is sometimes different by server. Ususally i find the raw ores sell better, as they are used by blacksmiths who just dont want to spend the time farming for materials, and by jewelcrafters for prospecting. However I have seen some servers where smelted ores generally sold better.

Herbalism can also be very profitable especially with the Inscriptioning introduced in WoTLK.

I hope these tips have helped. If you would like some more info on making money in World of

Warcraft, or other topics check out this site.

What Future Guitar Hero Games Could we See?

By hallbravo

Since 2005 when the first Guitar Hero game was released for the Playstation 2, gamers just can’t get enough of the Guitar Hero series. Up until now Guitar Hero have released 10 different games, the first ones being based more on guitars. Activision have now been forced, with the introduction of Rock Band, to bring in new instruments into their range of games.

However, with 3 new games in the pipeline, Guitar Hero are heading to get the edge over Rock Band with the introduction of a different game, without guitars.

The 3 new games that are due for release later this year are Guitar Hero 5, Band Hero and DJ Hero. Guitar Hero 5 is the first game and it’s a pretty standard game, it features the whole range of instruments, as well as an 85 strong song list. With this game, Activision are replacing the old guitar controller with a new and improved one which no doubt will prove to be successful.

Band Hero is the next one on the list, this is more a family based music game, although it’s pretty much the same as Guitar Hero 5 or World Tour. This is one of the ways that Activision are trying to get an edge over Rock Band on the family gaming market.

The last game in the tube is DJ Hero. Activision know it as much as we do, this is something brand new for the market, and Activision want as much from it as they can. This game will feature a whole new controller, the DJ deck which features 3 buttons and 2 sliders. It’s hard to know whether this game will be successful because it is for a brand new target market. However, if it does prove to be successful, will we eventually see a whole new range of future Guitar Hero’s? Obviously Guitar Hero wouldn’t be the name. Plus, will Rock Band want some of the market too and release their own range of games to compete with Activision.

There are a number of different markets that neither companies have targeted so far. One being piano lovers. No doubt a Piano Hero game would be popular because you would get both modern piano players, as well as more classical players who prefer to play grand pianos.

There are also other angles that could be considered, one being a classical version of Guitar Hero. Classical guitars are hugely popular and by bringing out a video game like Classical Guitar Hero, you would almost be entering a new market because the age of the player would be different to the age of a standard Guitar Hero player.

They are just a couple of my ideas, but whether we will ever see these types of games is a different matter. Whether or not these games are preduced comes down to how well DJ Hero does in the market and how much money is made for Activision. Activision would also have to consider when making a game like Classical Guitar Hero, whether or not it would make any money for them.

All these factors would have an effect on whether or not the game would be created, however, I would like to see something like Piano Hero being released.

WoW Gold Farming Guide

By hallbravo

This article will give you an overview of making all the gold you need without cheats or having to buy it. Focusing on gathering gold can make leveling a little slower so using a good World of Warcraft gold guide will save a lot of time.

Its essential to have gold in WoW for many of the things will need to buy such as a mount or gear and training. Some will advise you to use gathering professions right from the beginning to make gold. Three other methods for getting gold are flipping what you’ve gathered in the Auction House, grinding, or using some professions. You could take this advice and do well, but read on and at least consider taking this 3 step approach.

Step 1: 1 Level 80 Character

Initially, focus on getting at least one level 80 character. You don’t really need gold to level a character to 80, and the gear you’ll need will constantly change as you level. Make this as fast as possible and follow my suggestion of using a good leveling guide. To read about my recommended leveling and gold guide go here World of Warcraft Gold Secrets.

Now you will need some gold for things such as buying a mount, but you should be able to gather this just by questing. If follow the right approach you could earn up to 8000g at the end of all this.

Step 2: Farming for Gold

In this step a gathering profession will be good to have such as Mining or Herbalism.

Knowing the right place to farm is critical at this stage. The reason being that farming zones can be class and profession specific.

Step 3: Auction House

At this point you should’ve gathered about 200g. At this point you can earn 500g/hr with the right Auction House strategy. Check out my WoW Gold Guide to see my recommended guide to accomplishing this. This guide will also map out the best farming zones.

Sony Playstation Eye: Advancement or Catch Up?

By hallbravo

Recently, at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo conference, Sony showed off what they refer to as the Sony Playstation Eye. Sensing deja vu? You are thinking back to Sony’s EyeToy, a add-on for the Playstation 2 that pioneered the realisation of the real time actions of the gamer. The Eye expands on this feature in some very fascinating functions, but they are not completely unseen ones. However, it really is hard to know just how much this product will truly influence the world of gaming, if it does.

If you missed the Electronic Entertainment Expo, perhaps the leading functions of  Sony Playstation Eye is the motion sensing. How this sensing is accomplished is via the following of the glowing orb at the end of the control distributed for the Eye. Sony’s producers moved forward to show a live demonstration of the feature’s skills, using the remote to function with a 3D interface within the TV screen and revealing just how the equipmentcould be integrated in genres like first-person shooters, real-time strategy, and even action. All movement a player performs with the remote control is captured onscreen with 1:1 accuracy.

However, does not that ring any bells? At the previous Electronic Entertainment Expo, Nintendo did the exact same thing utilizing their Wii Motion Plus peripheral. It also captures and mirrors movements at 1:1 precision. The single major distinction amid these 2 peripherals is that the Sony Playstation Eye asks an augmented type of the EyeToy camera to track the remotes, whereas Nintendo’s Wii Motion Plus connects to an unseen sensor bar without cables. It seems Sony’s newest approach appears less advanced next to last year’s Nintendo technology.

Though following in the shadow of readily available features, the Eye is an excellent piece of hardware that’s guarenteed to bring pleasure to most owners of the PlayStation 3. Although it won’t drastically alter the world of game playing completely, the Sony Playstation Eye does provide a boost for Sony’s empire, and should possibly help the company catch up regarding innovation.

This World of Warcraft strategy guide has been written to help you have more fun.

WoW is called a MMORPG. In other words a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. Because of its enormity there are roles that you as the player control and others that are controlled by the games servers.  You can also call these NPCs or non-player characters. Player characters are those that are controlled by you the player, and non-player characters are those controlled by the software.

Therefore, certain characters within World of Warcraft are called as non-player characters that the game directs, as well as your own characters that you obviously take full responsibility for.

There is a massive variety of classes of characters for you to choose your roles from.

For no other reason than it’s easy, the available classes are listed here are in alphabetical order:

Druid, Hunter, Mage, Paladin, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock and Warrior

In order to be able to carry out your character class to the top of its power you must ensure that you select your character class based on the targets you want to achieve.

To allow your character to continue through the land Azeroth you has to successfully complete certain assignments known as quests. The quests that you undertake are then joined together in what is known as a quest chain. This simply means that the end of one quest leads to a related quest.

Not all quests are a good match for all character classes. Some classes will be more adapted than others to particular quests.

How Can I Fix Your XBOX? Here Are Your Options!

By hallbravo

If you’re an XBOX 360 gamer, you are definitely not the only one!  It’s unquestionably the hottest gaming system out there.  However, it can break and then you have to deal with those awful 3 red lights lit up on your console and then you need to find an XBOX repair service.  So what are your options to fix an XBOX 360?

There’s all sorts of “do-it yourself” tips and stories out there.  Various people have concocted various techniques to fix a broken XBOX 360, but most of them are complete bunk! 

For example, someone brought out “the towel trick”.  Apparently someone thought that wrapping up your XBOX in a bath towel would magically repair it!  Naturally this is more likely to cause a fire than fix your system!

And this isn’t the only XBOX fix myth out there - there’s plenty more.  I’ve heard of some gamers that have attempted to break open the XBOX case and used a soldering gun to try to repair the problem.  The XBOX is a complicated piece of machinery, and cracking open the case is likely going to cause more troubles - don’t try this!

Of course, you also have the option of sending in your system to Microsoft and let them fix it, but this isn’t a great option either.  You will be without your your system for four to six weeks and you also are asked to pay $140 plus shipping to get it back.  That’s a long time to wait and a good amount of money! 

Many people think that the price Microsoft charges is way too high.  They should be ready to help their customers for less than that, particularly when it doesn’t cost them close to that amount to repair your system.  But I suppose they are out to earn revenue anyway they can.

The best option is to get a good XBOX 360 repair manual to teach you how to fix it on your own.  There are now a couple of XBOX repair guides that you can purchase that have been assembled by master technicians that have lots of experience in repairing the XBOX 360.

These guides show you easy to follow directions and the best ones even include full video tutorials to make it even simpler to know what to do.  Fixing your XBOX 360 isn’t difficult when you have the correct directions in front of you.

The 360 is a powerful gaming system that continues to dominate the video game world.  And thanks to XBOX repair guides, you have an easy tutorial that shows you exactly how to fix 3 red lights!

Warcraft PvP Secrets - Warlock Basics

By hallbravo

Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of your Warlock is the fundamental secret of success in Warcraft PvP combat. That’s not to say this is all you need to know. There’s so much more than that if you really want to rise to the top of the heap. But if you don’t really understand your Warlock’s basic Player versus Player strengths and weaknesses, nothing else will matter much. So let’s look at the PvP strengths and weaknesses of a Warlock.

Warlock PvP Strengths

I can tell you from personal experience that Warlocks can be a nightmare to go against in Player versus Player. Your Warlock’s greatest strengths are your DoT (Damage over Time) spells, and your ability to Fear your enemies. In plain English, your character’s strength is the way they can cause their enemies to lose health over a period of time, then cause the victim to run around out of control as they die.

A second major strength of your Warlock is the Felhunter. Trained specifically to fight spell casters, these fierce beasts will ruin an opposing caster’s day for sure.

Warlock PvP Weaknesses

Fortunately for your opponents, your Warlock does also have weaknesses in Player versus Player . Mages (and others) can break your Fear spells and counter your DoT spells. Against these pests, you’ll want to deploy your Felhunter. But you’ll also need some direct damage types of spells. You’re also going to need more mana against these, so mana-replenishing spells like Life Tap will be crucial to keep your from running out. If you run out of mana, you’re dead.

We’ve covered the basic Warlock Player versus Player strengths and weaknesses. But there’s much more to learn if you really want to dominate PvP. A quality PvP guide can give you far more information, including specific instructions for dealing with each player class that can resist your DoTs and crowd control.
