The Armory's character profiles have been redesigned and improved with several new features including a 3D model viewer, character activity and calendar feeds, and more.
3D Model Viewer:SThe 3D model viewer displays a character as he or she appears in-game. You can pan and zoom the camera, play animations, and save a default pose (for characters on the logged-in account) that will display for all visitors to the profile. Refer to the Character Sheet FAQ for more details.
Character Activity Feeds:SEach character's activity feed shows the most recent in-game actions of the character that can be recorded by the Armory. These include achievements, boss kills, item acquisitions, and more. Character feeds can be customized using our customization tool, then exported as RSS feeds to your RSS reader of choice. Refer to the Character Feed FAQ for more details.
Player Calendar Feeds: Another new Armory tool allows you to export in-game player calendar data to calendar applications such as Outlook, or to online calendars such as Google Calendar. The tool can aggregate up to five characters on your account in a single feed, and is automatically synched with the characters' in-game player calendars. Refer to the Calendar Feed FAQ for more details.
Character Profiles: Character profiles have been redesigned to accomodate these new features and with the goal of improving usability and clarity, such as the Gear List view for a character's items.

Character Feed FAQ What is the character activity feed?
Each character's activity feed shows the most recent in-game actions of the character that can be recorded by the Armory. These include achievements, boss kills, item acquisitions, and more. Character feeds can be customized using our customization tool, then exported as RSS feeds to your RSS reader of choice.
How do I create a customized character feed?
Click the RSS icon on the character's profile page (the orange icon on the upper right of the recent activity summary) to go to the Character Feed Customization page. The options on this page allow you to create a custom RSS feed that you can export to an RSS reader.
* You can enter up to five characters to aggregate into a single RSS feed. Enter each character in a name@realm format. If you are logged in, you do not need to specify the realm - it will default to the currently viewed character's realm.
* Achievement categories can be individually toggled to filter them in or out of the RSS feed.
* Achievement criteria include any intermediate steps within an achievement, such as defeating a particular boss in an achievement to defeat every boss in a particular raid dungeon. Toggling this category off will turn off all achievement criteria globally, while turning it on will still follow the rules that you select in the Achievement category (for example, turning off Quests in the Achievement category will turn off the criteria in this category as well).
* The Boss Kills category includes any boss that is tracked in the Statistics tab of a character profile. These include the end bosses of classic and Burning Crusade dungeons, and every boss in Wrath of the Lich King raids.
* Loot acquisitions can be assigned different rarity thresholds to appear in the feed. You can specify a minimum item level as well.
How do I use the custom feed once I create it?
The URL for your custom RSS feed updates in real time as you change options and enter character names. When you are satisfied with the options and characters you selected, simply copy and paste the resulting URL into an RSS reader. Online RSS readers include iGoogle, Netvibes, and Pageflakes, to name a few. You can also import RSS feeds into Outlook and other e-mail clients. In addition, clicking the Facebook icon (which appears near the RSS icon on character profiles) allows you to integrate the Armory's feeds into Facebook.
Can I customize the feed that appears in the Character Feed tab of a character profile?
In contrast to the RSS feeds created on the Character Feed Customization page, the feeds that appear on character profiles (on the main page and the 'Activity Feed' tab) are intended to be an unfiltered feed of a character's recent activity and as such can not be customized.
Why isn't the Armory's custom feed page finding a particular character that I enter in the character name field?
Only characters on US realms are stored here, as this is the US version of the Armory. To switch to a different region, such as Europe, go to their regional World of Warcraft website and access the Armory from there. In addition, a character must be recently active and be at least level 10 to have a character feed. When entering character names, keep spaces in realm names ('Black Dragonflight') and make sure the character and name realm is spelled correctly.
Calendar Feed FAQ
What is the custom calendar tool?
The custom calendar tool allows you to export in-game player calendar data to calendar applications such as Outlook, or to online calendars such as Google Calendar. The tool can aggregate up to five characters on your account in a single feed, and is automatically synched with the characters' in-game player calendars.
How do I create a customized calendar feed?
Use the Armory's main menu or click the link on the top right of a character's calendar page to access the Calendar Feed Customization tool. The options on this page allow you to create a custom calendar feed that you can export to any compatible application or website. You can choose up to five characters on your account to aggregate into a single calendar feed. Simply select the characters you wish to appear in the feed from the drop-down menus. Event categories can be individually toggled to filter them in or out of the feed.
How do I use the custom feed once I create it?
The URL for your custom feed updates in real time as you select options and characters. Simply copy and paste the URL into an online calendar such as Google Calendar when you are finished configuring your custom feed. In addition, clicking on the URL from this page will download a file that can be imported into compatible applications such as Outlook
Is the calendar feed automatically synched with in-game player calendars?
Yes. Calendar feeds created with this tool should always be automatically up-to-date with in-game player calendars.
What is the 'reset security key' option used for?
Each calendar feed URL contains a unique security key appended to the end of the URL. This key is intended to keep your calendar data inaccessible to others. If you wish, you can reset your security key at any time by clicking the 'reset security key' button at the bottom of the page. If you reset your key, you must update the URL in your web-based calendars, or re-download the calendar file to use it with a calendar application.

Lijepo, lijepo. Bolje da srede crashanje Dalarana i one retardirane artefakte nego da se zezaju sa Armoryjem. But who am I to judge :)

Re: World of WarCraft: Cataclysm i patch 3.3
3.3 prejeben patch
thats all I got to say I am out of here now...
Cataclysm - Guild Improvements
Wrath of the Lich King made guilds slightly less useful, a decent PUG can complete a lot of the raid content and finding people to run an heroic dungeon has never been so easy. Cataclysm will change that and make guilds more interesting than ever!
Guild Levels and Talents
Your guild can now gain experience and levels, the maximum level being 20. Your guild will gain experience through different ways :
* Playing with your guildmates and killing a raid boss or winning an arena match where more than 75% of the group is from your guild.
* Playing alone also helps your guild, leveling your character, your professions, or even your reputations will increase the level of your guild as well!
You won't be able to level fast just by recruiting a hundred of members, guild leveling is restricted and only the top 20 earners each week will increase the experience of the guild.
Each level will reward you with a guild talent point, they can be spent to make your life easier in the game and will give you bonuses and abilities such as :
* Remove reagent costs from raid buffs.
* Reduce the cost of repairs.
* Increased gold drops from monsters or players that reward experience or honor.
* Summon your entire raid to a place.
* Resurrect your entire raid after a wipe. (30 min cooldown)
* Reduce the amount of rare reagents needed for professions. (Like reducing the amount of Frozen Orbs to craft a weapon)
* Automatically transfer a % of the gold dropped by monsters and bosses to the guild bank.
Guild Items and Guild Currency
Guild experience will also be converted in a guild "currency" used to buy special items. These items are bound to the guild and you will have to stay in the guild to keep them, if someone leaves with a guild item it will just be returned to the guild bank.
You can expect various item rewards from this system:
* Heirlooms
* Mounts and pets
* Professions Plans (Leaving the guild will unlearn them)
* Potions and Rare Reagents
* Guild Banners
* Guild Bank Tabs and Guild Talents Respecs
Guild Achievements
Cataclysm will also add achievements for your guild, the mechanics are the same as guild leveling you will need a minimum ratio of guild members in the group to complete them. They will be very similar to player achievements and you can expect things like :
* Completing a raid instance with your guild
* Crafting one (or more!) legendary items
* Become a Grand Master in every profession
* Become Exalted with all Northrend factions
Looking for Guild
Cataclysm will also make the management of your guild much easier. A new "Looking for Guild" interface will be added, it will give players an easy way to find a guild and give leaders an easy way to find new members. This new feature will let you recruit people based on a few filters based on various requirements.
Improved Guild Interface
Tracking what's going on in your guild will also be made easier with a new interface.
* The Guild News will let you check everything that happened in your guild: boss kills, members achievements, new item loot, profession leveling ... It will come with different filters to let you find specific information.
* A new Roster tab will give you more information on your guildmates, you can see the professions of everyone in the guild and even check the list of their recipes to see if they can craft an item.
* The calendar will also let you invite other guilds to your guild events.

Re: World of WarCraft: Cataclysm i patch 3.3
Cataclysm već zvuči kao prava expanzija kojom se namjerava expandirati više segmenata igre, a ne samo PvE progres, što me puno više ... um.. zadovoljava.. od onog što je expandirao WOTLK.
Zapravo, kad bi išao u jednu krajnost, rek'o bi da je WOTLK expandirao igru tek sa patchem 3.3 i uvođenjem novog LFG-a i emblem/BoA sustava. Prije toga je bilo pretty much samo dodavanje još trash mobova i još jednog bossa. Većina tih bosseva (Ulduar u prvom planu) je bila zanimljiva, ali... nekako fali ono nešto da WOTLK opravda titulu expanzije :)
Cataclysmu to definitivno ne fali :D

Re: World of WarCraft: Cataclysm i patch 3.3
Ako ništa drugo sad barem neće trebati pisati u notse što koji guild member ima od profesija. :)
Iako im zamjeram što uopće nema RP kod Guild tipova (u recruitment tabu)... ono, WTH?
The death of the Lich King
Yup. Sorry. The Lich King is going to die. Blizzard didn't have any problem killing Kael'thas, Illidan, Kael'thas, Lady Vashj, or even Kael'thas and it won't be any different for our old friend Arthas.
It doesn't mean that the Frozen Throne will stay empty, Arthas will be replaced and a new character will take his place ...
* HR_Uther_Alliance06 - There is... something else that you should know about the Lich King. Control over the scourge must never be lost. Even if you were to strike down the Lich King, another would have to take its place. For without the control of its master, the scourge would run rampant across the world, destroying all living things.
* HR_Uther_Alliance07 - A grand sacrifice by a noble soul.
* HR_Uther_Alliance08 - I do not know, Jaina. I suspect that the piece of Arthas that might be left inside the Lich King is all that holds the scourge from annihilating Azeroth.
There isn't any official information about that, it is commonly admitted that Bolvar Fordragon will step up and become the new Lich King to prevent the destruction of Azeroth by the Scourge.
The rumor first appeared when Blizzard pushed a new model named "Lavaman" in the PTR files, showing a character identified by many users as Bolvar Fordragon (the Immolated Champion in the Yogg-Saron event of Ulduar)
Blizzard eventually "removed" the model from later PTR builds by patching the files to make them blank (= 0 Byte).
Conclusion
It's time for another wave of people insulting me! If you're still reading this news I will assume that you do not care about spoilers.
* Yes, Bolvar is the new Lich King.
* Patch 3.3.x (most likely 3.3.2) should be released before the end of January, it will also include the cinematic cutscene mentioned earlier and the ending of Icecrown Citadel will be spoiled at this point.
* This patch will also include the Season 8 Gear, if Season 7 lasts 17~18 weeks like the 3 previous seasons you can expect the patch mid-january
* Blizzard usually starts their Arena Season a few weeks before the last tier of PvE content is unlocked. Expect to fight Arthas in early/mid February
Once again, there is nothing official here and I could be wrong and I'm sure it will eventually happen at some point. Hopefully I'll get lucky once again.
Pa eto...sad znamo i to...
Jos detalja i slikica mozete naci na MMO-Champion, ukoliko vam ne smetaju spoileri...

Re: World of WarCraft: Cataclysm i patch 3.3
Ajme, novi LFG , još jednom :pray:
Danas malo igrao sa svojim lv 15 hunterom koji-želi-biti-veliki-ali-mu-se-ne-da-levelati (tj. lv 21 od sad).
Išao 3 puta na random calssic dungeon; nije dug queue, našlo mi party za 5-7 minuta (čini se dugo u odnosu na lv 80 instance, ali to je savršeno u odnosu na brzinu kojom se prije išlo spamajući /trade sa "LFG SFK" :) ).
Najbolje, na kraju se dobije "Satchel of Goods" u kojem se nalazi random nagrada. Ne znam da li je nagrada de facto određena klasom koju se igra, ali ja sam u njoj dobio tri rare (plava) itema savršena za hunter/roguea, cloak i belt sa +agi i +stamina, na razini nekih najboljih twink itema koje se dobiju farmanjem instanci.. Zakon :D

Taj novi lfg, u slučaju da si tank, random dungeon ili random hc nađe za 1 sekundu. Doslovno :D
So remember: If the screen starts shaking, it's probably just an early tremor, and you should go stand in the doorway. Unless you're in Un'Goro Crater, in which case it's a Devilsaur and you're boned.
