BFF Report - Mass Effect 2 - The Arrival DLC
I don't know about you guys, but I am a huge fan of the Mass Effect IP.. I even own a book that I've read at least 37% of, and I never read books! However, this newest DLC, which coincidentally is also the last, kinda makes me go :|
Have any of you tried it? What are you thoughts on this compared to the previous DLC?

PTR Patch 4.1 Notes Updated (3/30)
HUGE
update the the PTR 4.1 Patch Notes today, including some moderate class changes (including some revisions to previous Arcane
ability changes), some Cataclysm dungeon changes and tons of other interesting things!
Notable changes include:
The guild achievements for earning exalted reputation with factions (
Посланники
,
Дипломатия
, and
) have been fixed to now correctly count cumulative guild members with exalted factions. Previously, these achievements would only count exalted factions on one guild member.
:
has been redesigned slightly. Instead of a single charge absorption, it now places an absorption effect on the druid absorbing up to 35% of the druid's attack power (modified by mastery, if applicable) in damage and lasting 10 seconds. There are no longer any charges on the effect.
:
now also increases the healing done by the affected nature spell by 50%.

healing done has been increased by 35%. In addition, it has a new spell effect.

Bind to Battle.net Account Heirloom Items Coming in 4.1?
We were taking a peek at some of the
awesome Heirloom items
we discovered in today's PTR patch and noticed a majorly interesting detail: heirlooms will now
Bind to Battle.net account
! It seems that this feature has been added not only to the newly added heirlooms but to all previously implemented heirloom items as well! We have absolutely no idea how transferring these items between characters on different servers and whatnot will work, but we'll definitely update with any details we're able to find! Maybe we'll see a detailed Blizzard post on this real soon™!
We'll (of course) have our
PTR database
updated as soon as possible to support this change. :)

News Roundup: More Complaints About the 60-80 Leveling Flow...
There have been some odds and ends this week and past that have deserved a news round-up, from a few hotfixes to some explanations of minor class changes that are slated to hit in patch 4.1. General news seems really slow lately, most likely because Blizzard has been busy ramping up for the Rise of the Zandalari release as well as preparing for the patch beyond that and its new raids.
Latest topics include:
Post-60 Leveling Flow
UA Dispel Penalty
Clarification Requested on WoG Nerf

Intel's Short Film "When I Was An Elephant"
Some of you guys might remember our
Gear Check
back in December covering
Intel's x25M Solid State Drives
, where we showed off some of the mad skills these drives pack and gave you guys some insight into how they can positively expect your World of Warcraft (and general computing) experiences. They've got some new SSDs coming out and we'll hopefully get more details real soon - we might even have another
contest
for you guys to look forward to!
For now, our friends over at Intel have worked with the
Rubbish
team to release a short film titled
When I Was An Elephant
. It's a quirky and avant-garde piece, especially when considering it's advertising Intel's solid state drives, but it's definitely worth checking out. Let us know what you think!

Patch 4.1 Guild Challenges Detailed by Blizzard
Blizzard has just recently released extensive details about the new Guild Challenges that are coming with Patch 4.1. Unfortunately, they aren't as robust as many players had hoped, but there's always opportunity for an update down the line! These challenges (as
we mentioned before
) task players with completing dungeons, raids and rated battlegrounds in guild groups for a large guild experience and monetary reward (at the appropriate guild level / reputation level).
Patch 4.1 will go live with three guild challenges:
Guild Raid Challenge:
Kill any Cataclysm raid boss while in a guild group. Requires at least 8 (in 10-player) or 20 (in 25-player) guild members in raid. Can be completed 1 time per week, rewards 3000000 guild experience.
Guild Dungeon Challenge:
Complete any Cataclysm regular or heroic dungeon while in a guild group. Requires at least 3 guild members in party. Can be completed 7 times per week, rewards 300000 guild experience.
Guild Rated Battleground Challenge:
Win a Rated Battleground while in a guild group. Requires at least 8 guild members in raid. Can be completed 3

Latest Cataclysm Hotfixes (March 25 - March 29)
Just a tiny batch of new hotfixes, all of which were implemented between March 25 - March 29. Maybe Blizzard is finally running out of things to fix? Yeah, right. Don't worry, 4.1 will bring a whole new mess of changes and bugfixes all too soon! Nothing too incredibly interesting today, though I'm sure it was funny how players were using
prior to the fix, and I'll definitely welcome the lack of aggressive mobs near one of the more common

Patch 4.1 - PTR Build 13812 - New Icons, Items, and Spell Changes
A new PTR patch has just been released! Mostly it's a lot of tooltip changes as to be expected with any patch, however, there are some notable changes for several classes. The biggest changes are for the
class. It looks like bears are finally getting some much needed love--this is fitting with
the earlier blue posts

Slaughter Trolls With Blizzard and a New Ghostcrawler Blog on Interrupts
The developers have been talking to the community a lot lately. Today they're even playing with us:
from 4PM to 6PM PDT today
,
you can slaughter some trolls with the developers on the PTR
. Joining a Zul'Aman or Zul'Gurub instance will give you a small chance to run into a player from a guild named either or . Just make sure to act cool if you encounter them; don't link them any of your fanart of them and Thrall or demo reels of your code or anything.
If that wasn't enough, we also have another Ghostcrawler post. He's been making frequent blogs lately and they've all been worth reading--this one's no different. Talking about interrupts this time, he examines the problems with interrupts and their subsequent fixes that led to an unforeseen consequence of caster mobility and a degradation in the use of cast time spells. This has been a complaint for some time now, in both the PvE and PvP circles. It manifests by burst damage in PvP and class preference for PvE. Progression guilds have gotten many headaches over the eternal war between casters and melee, fights preferring stacked groups of either and rarely catering to both. But a

Blizzard's Third Q+A Answered, Armor and Weapons Selected for Next Topic
Blizzard just posted their next set of answers to the
their third global Q+A session they held through the forums
recently. Surprisingly, the traditionally dry and technical topic of user interfaces provided the community with what we believe are the best set of questions and answers thus far; they make for the most riveting read, at least! From big to small, questions this time around address real issues that we've been wondering--like how come the default backpack hasn't gotten an upgrade in the past six years or why isn't World of Warcraft's default UI easily rearranged like in other games?
There will be more of these sessions coming up in the near future as well. The topic of
Armor and Weapons
is slated to be tackled next; starting at 4PM PDT today, Blizzard will field questions from NA players. We'll have another post when those go live.
Some of the topics of the questions they were asked include:

Guild Challenges Implemented on Patch 4.1 PTR
The
previously mentioned
guild challenges
have just started showing up on the PTR! You can rest assured that we'll have them added to our
PTR website
but for now you can take a look at the updated interface and get an idea of what kind of "challenges" we'll be facing! These challenges will be an awesome way to earn tons of guild experience and appear to have weekly caps -- For example, the Heroic dungeon challenge can be completed 7 times, most likely in a row with the changes to the
Daily Heroic system

Patch 4.1 - PTR Build 13793 - New Items
There are a lot of new items we've pulled up from this patch, way too many to tack onto

Patch 4.1 - Rise of the Zandalari Official Preview
Blizzard hit us today with the official content preview for Patch 4.1: Rise of the Zandalari. It's a well-written summary of the threats adventurers will be facing soon and explains what role Vol'jin will be playing and the numerous threats that Stranglethorn contains. It also shows us some of the new vanity drops we'll be seeing.
In years past, the Zandalar tribe, encompassing the wise and scholarly progenitors of the trolls, heroically assisted the Horde and the Alliance with thwarting the nefarious activities of their brethren in Zul'Gurub and Zul'Drak. Yet the chaos unleashed by the recent Cataclysm has reshaped the Zandalari's philosophy about the world and the dwindling remnants of their race. Led by a mysterious prophet known only as Zul, the Zandalari have issued a call to Azeroth's embattled troll populations: unite into a single mighty empire and save their race from extinction.
Thus far, the Gurubashi and Amani trolls have answered the summons and received aid from the Zandalari, allowing them to rebuild their respective capitals in Zul'Gurub and Zul'Aman. Not all trolls, however, have so eagerly adopted the Zandala
