Burning Crusade to Burn Midnight Oil

January 10, 2007 6:10 AM

Blizzard has announced that it will be teaming up with Fry's Electronics and GameStop/EB Games to host four midnight launches, all in the developer's home state of California, for its upcoming World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade expansion. Each store will have Blizzard team members available to meet gamers and sign game boxes. The events will be held at 12:00am Pacific Standard Time at GameStop/EB Games in Universal City, Fry's Electronics in Sunnyvale, Fry's Electronics in Fountain Valley, and Fry's Electronics in Anaheim.

In the announcement, the company noted that while it is only officially participating in four launch events, various GameStop/EB Games, Fry's Electronics, and Best Buy locations will also be holding their own midnight launches; gamers will need to contact their local stores to determine whether there is a launch event nearby. For more information on the sanctioned events, check out Blizzard's official site.

      I hate them, they seem cheap. But I'm glad the Horde is getting them ;)
      
      Now the Alliance will see how hard as hell it is to kill two Paladins healing each other through a barrage of everything.

        As a hunter, I'm pretty much screwed against pallys. When I'm not stunned, they are bubbled. I got beastial wrath / the beast within which helps a lot (I can't be stunned, and neither can my pet), but he still bubbles and casts Holy Light when I get him near death. I normally take that time to try to bandage, but by the time I notice he's bubbled and hit the bandage button, I can only heal a tiny bit before his heal is over and he breaks my bandaging.

        In one on ones, I can beat most paladins as a hunter. The key is mana burning and kiting. Constantly keep hunter's mark on them and mana sting. Each time they cast cleanse, %8 of their mana is gone. Always have your pet on them so you know when immunity is gone. After they blow their big shield, that's when I try to burn them down.
