WoW: Bypassing locked stages in Isle of Thunder

Only 2 days since launching players are already finding lots of ways to skip locked zones in World of Warcraft Isle of Thunder and jump directly into higher stages.

The first trick is for Rogues only and allows them to skip straight into stage 4.

On the Isle of the Thunder King, continue along the eastern coast until you see StormSea Landing. Continue along the coast line until you see a large viking like ship. Exact coordinates s aren’t necessary, you just need to look at your map until you see a lock. Once there you’ll see Pterrorwing mobs with 787k health and to teleport to the boat you can use  Shadowstep, or the new Talent, Cloak and Dagger. Instant stage 4.

The second trick is for any class, but you’ll need the help of a hunter and it allows you to wall jump into the Second stage of Isle of thunder from a waterfall. Once there you can bypass stage 2 and skip ahead to stage 4. To do it get a hunter to Powershot you from a rock onto the wall surrounding stage 4. Once in stage 4 you can also drop down to stage 2 if you really want.

The top image shows the location where you need to do this and the bottom images shows the location once you get there.

We have one more technique for skipping stages and this one involves a door glitch. Use it quickly before it gets hotfixed.

First get invited by someone from crossrealm while running against the huge door. As soon as you change the crossrealm zone the big gate despawns and you can run right through it. That’s it.

Other tricks include dying at the door and rezzing on the other side or using the chopper-mount glitch which can get your through the door as well.

SimCity refund debacle

Further bad press for EA: After the official EA press release stated that “if you regrettably feel that we let you down, you can of course request a refund for your order”, a customer did exactly that. To which an EA customer service representative basically answered that while you can *request* a refund, EA wasn’t obliged to actually give you one. And if you just disputed the credit card charge to get your money back, your EA account would be banned, losing you access to all other EA games.

As I said before, I don’t mind the general idea of buying games as a service instead of as a physical product. I do however think that if you sell a service, you should be good at it. And EA obviously isn’t. In its current state SimCity is unplayable, and allowing unhappy customers to give the game back and get a refund is something I’d consider an absolute minimum of customer service.

Games as a service when the game is good but the service is bad not only leaves game reviewers stumped. It also breaks the chain of “game is good” -> “game is successful” -> “more games like this are being made”. It will be extremely hard to measure how much this is hurting EA, but for example SimCity having a 1-star rating on Amazon.com due to the server issues can’t be good for sales. Even if EA fixes the servers before the weekend, unless Amazon.com purges those 600+ negative reviews, the game will always look bad on that site. And that is independent from whether SimCity is actually a good game or not.

League of Legends – New Collector’s Edition swag from Razer

Razer and Riot Games have worked together before on PC peripherals for League of Legends, but I believe this is the first time the term “Collector’s Edition” has been used. Razer has just released the League of Legends Collector’s Edition Razer Naga Hex, which summarizes to be a very gaming-oriented mouse customized for MOBA titles.
