10 things UWO has that other pirate MMORPGS don’t

1 Grinding is not an option: you don’t have to focus on a combat class in fact you can have other players do it for you, hence creating a player mercenary system

2 Port Conquering: tho not yet implemented I am looking forward to it conquering other nations ports to improve your countries trade and economy.

3 Nations Alignment system: Wars will break out and traveling to a hostile nation players and NPC ships will be aggressive towards you

4 Exploration system: Gain exp simply by traveling and seeking out wildlife or discovering ruins of an ancient civilization

5 Realistic world map: Uses the map of the real world and visit real world destinations

6 Lots of real ships to choose from: Even more when the expansions come out a total of more than a hundred are available

7 Music composed by Yoko Kanno: One of the greatest music composers for Japanese RPG games

8 Thousands of quests: It is rumored to take atleast 3 years to finish them all and that’s without the expansions

9 Historical reference: It makes use of real people from the time line of the voyage century

10 Real prizes: Netmarble gives away some really cool stuff no just in game items

Addon of the Day

Hey all, this is my first blog post but I thought i would try something different, a blog is normally somewhere to bore people with your troubles and emotions in life, but i thought it would be a good idea to treat it like a review column in a newspaper where every week or month, the author posts a review or suggests something for the reader to buy, in my opinion, I thought I should make this a addon blog where every day, I would suggest a addon for you, the readers to download and try out, and at the end of every month, I will make a list of of the top ten addons of the month, I thought this would be a good idea and I would like your feedback, and obviously, this is my first blof post so please don’t be too harsh. Thanks and enjoy!

1* Addon of the day:

Today, I chose “Archeology Helper” as today’s add-on. I chose this because Archeology is becoming an ever-growing popular proffesion, for two reasons: It it a secondary skill so people don’t have to unlearn their hard learn skills in The Lich King and Burning Crusadeit can provide the oppurtunity to give you rare artifacts and cool mounts and items
This addon allows you to locate the artifact very easily once you have dropped the Survery Device, it overlays a custom HUD which allows you to see how near exactly the artifact is and which direction it is, but it provides you with much more than the normal Survery Device.

Not my screenshot by the way But my monday, I will be able to provide my own!

This add-on also allows you to see Dig-Sites on the minimap and on the battleground map Which was previously un-avaliable.

Anyway, enough of me, enjoy the add-on if you want to download it and I will be back tomorrow with another add-on.
Please leave some feedback!

Hey there MMOwned!

Long time member who has been coming here off and on, mostly to view the works of the graphics community and to request their assistance on many occasions. I joined this site under the name Kalubes, which soon changed to Beastreality and is now Holybeast. I regret changing my name to Holybeast, but meh, it is what it is.

So, I was thinking that maybe I would start keeping an active blog running on this website because I typically have an hour of free time at the end of my class Monday – Thursday and it will give me something to do. As of lately, I have been trying to play WoW again. I usually go long periods of time without playing and come back due to my overwhelming nostalgia. I started two months before BC and I miss the glory of TBC end game, the rich quest lines that revolved around Hyjal, Black Temple, and The Sunwell made the game for me. I don’t think blizzard will ever make the game as immersive as it was at that time. So far in Cataclysm I have leveled my druid up to 85 and stopped playing him. The dungeons don’t have the feel to them that I really enjoy. Not sure what’s different but I’m just not having the same fun as I used to have.

I have been spending the majority of my time on my third hunter reroll, which is in the form of a level 46 dwarf. Leveling through battlegrounds, and questing as I wait for queues is quite enjoyable, but I fear that soon I will grow tired of it and will no longer want to play. I really want to keep playing and begin making videos again, as I love editing video and sharing it on the youtube community, but I can’t think of what to record. Sure I could make montages of my hunter in the BG’s, and I plan to do a few, but I would really like some community suggestions as to what you would like to see. Perhaps you would want me to take a guide you have written and attempt to recreate it in video format, giving you the credit for the guide of course. If you have any ideas, please comment on here or send me a pm and I will try my best to make the video in my free time outside of work and school.

Thanks for reading this wall of text, updates and videos coming in the future.

Windows 8 Experience

Hey guys,

So here is my Windows 8 experience, personally I dislike it and will stick to windows 7 and their service packs but technology is growing fast.Only some brief screenshots, some of the features are nice and the UI layout is good but others are really bad e.g. the login screen and the main page you go to.

blogs/2dgreengiant/attachments/4828-windows-8-experience-1.png <- Dislike

The7� Commandments of Cataclysm PvP healing

Cataclysm is here and with it, your very own welfare ilvl365 Vicious Gladiator epics. Whether you?re an arena master or a dungeon hero, the healing gear is both easy to get and a viable upgrade for pre-raid items. Healing has changed since WoTLK but the tenets remain the same. As resilience increases we will see less and less of the all-dps rushdown teams. So learn to heal. Now.

1 Thou shall choose your bracket wisely
2v2 is either about getting zerged down by double dps or standing by a pillar and casting a PvE rotation of heals/CC/damage. Fun with a friend or if you have a flavour of the month setup that can truck through the opposition for easy wins.

Rated BGs are about popping every CD on cooldown and trying to shout over the top of everyone else on vent for peels, and once getting them, standing there, feeling more vulnerable than a newly dumped prom queen in a ghetto, casting your 2.5sec heals on random teammates. I think it?s called triage.

3v3 is both of those things at the same time, while also having to balance on a unicycle and trying to train a WoTLK Kingslayer to not hit sheeps in heroics.
I meticulously scienced this graph to show what?s most important in each bracket.


RBGs would be fun if it wasn’t such a pain getting 10 people to attend. They should scale it down in numbers. And maybe make it revolve around kills not objectives. And make the maps smaller. Oh wait…
2 Thou shall know when to play offensive
Play offensive whenever your teammates aren?t a big heal away from death.

Playing offensive means putting out more pressure on the other team than is being put out on yours. It means not standing 40 yards away hoping that the mage will be too slow to counterspell your fast heal. It means not standing in a group trying to decide on who to go for when the other team?s rogue is making his way to sap your healer, cheapshot the squishie and blind the other guy, effectively forcing 2 trinkets.

If you?re a PRIEST, it means using mana burn and mind control every chance you get, forcing the other team to use their interrupts on your shadow tree so you can free cast that much needed greater heal a few seconds later.

If you?re a SHAMAN it means sticking with the dps target, purging the life out of them, giving all and any casters PTSD by repeatedly shocking their casts.

If you?re a PALADIN it means popping those long cooldowns to keep your teammates from running to a pillar or having to kite. Pop that stuff and keep them topped so they can stay right in the middle of it, demolishing the opposition.

If you?re a DRUID it means going tree early to keep pressure on, using that CC to stop the damage coming in. If you?re casting more heals than cyclones, you?re doing it wrong.


You want to avoid the herp derp position. Standing there increases your opponents’ skill by 20%
3 Thou shall know what a pillar does
Pillars save lives. Ranged can?t swap to something hugging a block of granite. Mages can?t sheep through cement. The biggest difference between a good healer and a great healer is using a pillar to simultaneously keep in LoS of your teammates and keep out of LoS of any mother-in-law wannabe who would want to control you.

PALADINS have no reason to ever leave a pillar outside of HoJ.

DRUIDS should be travelforming from one pillar to the other if the battle moves out of cyclone range.

SHAMANS are advised to stick to a pillar due to how easily they can get tunnelled.

PRIESTS, in their current sorry state, have bigger things to worry about. Being the only healer with 0 mobility once snared, in possession of woeful mana efficiency, a pillar is no replacement for offensive in-your-face play.


If you don’t know what pillars are, you might like RoV
4 Thou shall keep up the pressure
It is easier to maintain momentum than to regain it. Being proactive is better than being reactionary. Pop those cooldowns while you?re winning. Work out an opener against the teams that stand around at the start. It?s their bad. Use your opener every time. Rush in against rogue teams. Use short (1min) CDs in your openers, get your team to do the same. When they come up a minute later, the opponent won?t have their trinkets up. Pressure means that enemy CC go onto your teammates to stop their damage, not to stop you healing. Develop a kill rotation with your team (e.g., Deathcoil>throwdown>pet silence>bear bash).

This means PALADINS HoJ early, PRIESTS fear bomb at the start, DRUIDS stealth>dash>cyclone, SHAMANS hex.


(Not seen in image: all the cooldowns your team is popping to keep up pressure)

5 Thou shall make awesome game-winning calls
So many healers are happy to just sit there, healbotting and letting the dps decide what to go on, when to switch, what abilities to use. They all play in the 1500 bracket.

As a healer you have a unique vantage on the battlefield. You know how much damage is coming in, what you can and can?t heal (what happens next time that rogue/mage do a Deep Freeze shatter into Smokebomb?), and most importantly, what the other team?s healer is feeling right now. You can put yourself in their shoes more easily than your warrior who?s mashing his buttons into the bear druid. Because it is so hard to top teammates up right now, healer switches are EXTREMELY potent. Even if you don?t get a kill, chances are, that feral druid you switched from wouldn?t have regained 100% of his HP.

Once your teammates have switched onto the healer, he won?t have a lot of globals to dispel his teammates. This is where they are open to all of your CC, meaning you have to heal less and your team won?t get peeled. Most healers will LoS while trying to survive too, so if you time it right there will be a nice big pillar between the healer and the guy he is trying to get fear/roots/hex/HoJ off.


If you have trouble making the calls, put your teammates on speed-dial

6 Thou shall know your comp
For 2v2, pick the current OP class and make sure they have good gear. Sorted.

Rated BGs, emoquit if there are less than 3 healers. Except if your team is amazing, you?re going to die with less than three. A lot.

3v3, unless you and your two best friends are the only ones on the server, chances are you will have options for your comp. Know this:

Melee/melee/healer puts a lot of pressure on the healer. Standing in wrong spot? Full fear, someone dies. Get counterspelled at bad time? Some one dies. Getting trucked down? Ask for peels ? oh wait ? your team don?t have much crowd control. You die. You have to be awake to do well at this (unlike the two melee you?re playing with). Get a warrior and deathknight for max profit.

Caster/caster/healer can feel a bit more defensive depending on the comp, especially against melee teams. Work to allow both of your teammates to freecast so something can inexplicably die. Frost mage and shadowpriest is all the rage at the moment.

Melee/caster/healer is hit and miss but potentially the most fun to play with a good balance between the constant pressure a melee provides and the burst and control of a good caster. Warriors are in great shape and do well paired with a lock or mage.


If it doesn’t work out, check forums again. You might have missed a thread.

7 Thou shall have right attitude
Don?t give up easily. Many healers succeed in 2v2 only to go into 3v3 and fail miserably. This is not a new phenomenon, or your fault, or because you play with mentally deficient teammates. All three brackets require a different skill set, one that is not necessarily transferrable in a couple of dozen games. Practice in new brackets with people you enjoy playing with. Drink beer when you lose. Be extremely drunk by end of arena session.


At 1550, declare yourself godlike and quit PvP.

7? Thou shall not die in a global
Get some resilience already.

Knowing when to stop: MMO Addiction

Have you ever experienced paying for either a monthly or yearly subscription but only consumed not more than 50% of the purchased gaming time? Maybe only 40% ? 30%? 20%? And probably for the busy gamer, only 10% of the purchased gaming will be used.

Moreover, have you purchased something from the Item Mall that you regret buying? And eventually became a piece of junk in your storage?

Last weekend, I was experiencing a bit of budget crisis. Being a part-timer and a graduate school student, I had to spend wisely the money that I have left.

Moreover, I have experienced all of the questions I asked. I invested on memberships that I wasn’t really able to enjoy (due to my busy schedule)^^ And I’ve also experienced running out of money just to be able to buy something from the Item Mall which eventually became junk in my storage.

Then last weekend came, an announcement from the game publisher of the MMO that I’m playing announced that they will remove a certain item in their Item Mall. Definitely, the ingame value of that item will go sky-high. I had to think of a plan so that I can have that item before it disappears. Eventually, I ended up having to ask my friend to share half of the amount and we’ll just share the item.

Did I feel happy afterwards? Not really, I felt that I was no longer playing the game. I’m the one now being played. Right after, I realized that I needed the money for my research work. Then I felt terrible.

I felt terrible because I’ve done that mistake a lot of times in the past and always promised to myself that I would stop. And once again, I promise myself that I would cut the spending on games and focus on my studies and work.

What I’m trying to say is that even though that the stop signs are all around you, let’s face the fact that gaming is an expensive addiction. The cost of it is not much that different from alcohol addiction and drug addiction. So on a final thought, why isn’t there a gaming addiction rehab?^^

Take care everyone!

Twin Peaks CTF BG (as a level 83 Frost Mage)

This is the first new BG of Cataclysm. It’s a new CTF that works like Warsong does, but in a completely new zone. I recorded this fast and skipped the BG start, but it’s still 12 minutes of fighting including 2 flags captures and win. I am using my 2 new spells in the video, Curtain of Frost and Flame Orb. Sadly, the Combat Text are bugged for the moment so you won’t see the amounts of damage I’m doing (that’s annoying). I have 50004 hp with quests/dungeons gear.

Here’s the video:

Honorbuddy 1-80 Warlock

Hello community of MMowned i just purchased the bot Honorbuddy and i am going to do a review on the bot and ill will update this post on leveling my new lock to 80. Hopefully with this it will help the people on the edge of buying this bot and give some insight on how it works

Information:
Faction: Alliance
Race: Gnome
Class: Warlock
HB Profile: DelaSniper3’s 1-80 pack
Type of Botting: Grind
Professions: Herbalism, Skinning
Amount of Gold: 1 gold

Current Level: 20

Time Played: 19 hours

Day 1- Had some trouble setting up the bot due to the new update of HB (1.5.9) but with a little bit of tweaking of the bot i was able to set it up. I ran the bot for an hour and a half for like a test and it went smoothly. Got to level 6 and got 20 silver from looting all the mods it killed. I will be running it for a couple more hours today.

Ran the bot again for a bit. This thing is working like a charm. Got to level 10 and was able to collect a golds worth of items through herbalism and skinning.

Day 2- Didn’t bot the whole day and wanted to leave on overnight. I left it on and then i got disconnected from the server thinking it was a ban. But i didn’t get an email so its all good level 15 and its still working perfectly

Day 3,4,5,6- Haven’t been botting alot but i will start again and leave it on overnight. Everything’s been working smoothly for the most part.
