WEEK OF DECEMBER 13th-20th 2009

THE FEAST OF WINTER VEIL IS HERE!!
Thats right folks its that time already. The great feast of winter veil hit US and EU servers this week and has already proven to be fun fun fun!.

The feast has many achievments and items that players have been farming and playing around with ever since its release. Not a whole lot of new content in this years feast but it boasts some of the classics such as the Green and Red Winter Suits, Reindeer Mounts, Snowballs, Cooking Recipes, and thats right- Great Father Winter himself.

Next week Great Father Winter will begin giving out gifts to players around Azeroth and they will be available for pickup in Orgrimmar for Horde, or in Ironforge if you play the Alliance side- under the tree, near the Smokywood Pastures vendor in both major cites. Gift giving will begin on December 25th (Christmas day) and go through January 2nd. Don't forget to visit Great father winter to get your gifts!

Along with the above mentioned holiday items.. there is also some holiday bosses that players can kill to receive special items...

Grand Magus Telestra (The Nexus)- Red Winter Hat
Jedoga Shadowseeker (Ahn'Kahet: The Old Kingdom)- Green Winter Hat
Mage-Lord Urom (The Occulus)- Green Winter Hat
THESE ITEMS ARE NON-TRADABLE AND BIND ON PICKUP

FULL DETAILS CAN BE FOUND HERE ON THE OFFICIAL BLIZZARD WINTER VEIL SITE


WORLD OF WARCRAFT MOUSE NOW BOAST SUPPORT FOR MACINTOSH!!
The SteelSeries World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse is an item that hit shelves last year and has been a hit with gamers alike. However, this item was previously only offering support for PC users. Well that wait is over folks! This week SteelSeries announced that this item will now come with in-game set-up for Mac users as well as for those playing on PC. Mac users will now be able to customize the commands for the mouse directly within the in-game interface with patch 3.3 and will be controlled by a program similar to any addon.

BUY A STEELSERIES GAMING MOUSE HERE!!


NO SKIPPING THE CINEMATIC FOR A WHILE!!
I know many of us here enjoyed running the Heroic instance Culling Of Stratholme, World of Warcrafts newest caverns of time instance that was released with the Wrath Of The Lich King expansion pack. Many of us, however get very very sick of running this instance due to its long and drawn out cinematic that you have to watch every single time you run the instance- arthas will not move any faster and I have wanted to punch him numerous times myself if we can be honest.

Recently in the last patch, Blizzard gave us the ability to skip the cinematic in a similar situation- the Trial Of The Champion instance storyline and intro can now be skipped! This gave us all hope that Culling of Stratholme was soon to come. However I have to burst your bubble on that one guys...

Blizzard announced this week that "Although this is one of the most requested features of the instance", they will NOT be allowing players to skip the storyline in the Culling Of Stratholme instance anytime soon (if at all). A quote from Blizzard developers in response to a comment made about the instance taking too long reveals...

"We agree, but unfortunately with the current tech/flagging that exists in regards to this -- it's just not possible for the game to recognize this sort of thing and allow for a bypass. It's always a possibility for the future though."

So it looks like you will all be listening to Arthas rambling on about the plague for a little longer guys! SORRY

THAT CONCLUDES THIS WEEKS ADDITION TO "This Week In WoW" I hope you enjoy!! see you next sunday for a special Christmas/New Years edition!!

HAPPY GAMING!!
