"Pretty simple really to do this, you just need a bit of time for your first trap to cooldown. It is accomplished by pulling one mob into a pre-placed trap, and then immediately placing a second trap and aggroing a second mob into it. There are specific situations where this could be useful but they are extremely limited and I cannot, in truth, think of any off the top of my head, where it would be preferable to have 2 mobs CCed for 20 seconds vs. having 1 mob CCed for a couple minutes. Trapping caster/ranged damage dealing mobs This can be a little tricksy to be honest. If the mob is a caster type, it's not so bad to do. You just aggro the mob and then either run back out of its range towards your trap, way in the back, or run around a corner or somesuch and break its line of sight on you. In either case, you need to have your trap placed so that it is DEFINITELY in the mob's path it will take to you. This may take a bit of time depending on the situation though and you can also use Silencing Shot (if you have 41 talent points in the marksman tree) to help get that mob moving. Often times a caster type mob will stand still as soon as it breaks out of your first trap and not move into the second one, but instead, start casting on you or a heal on its buddy or whatever. Silencing shot and/or scatter shot are pure <3 in this situation - though you need to be aware of the possibility of following up your Silencing Shot with an autoshot which may break the mob out of the trap it's going to step into as it tries to run towards you, finding it cannot cast. There are some ""hunter"" type mobs as well that are a real pain in the butt to trap, since they will just start pewpewing another target if they can't get LOS or range on you very often.

---

I am thinking of the mobs in Shattered Halls for example. These bastids also have scattershot which is pleasant. For them you can do a few things. You can scattershot them in the face (or intimidation) and walk up and place a trap at their feet - though this will limit your ability to chain trap them, or you can just wait til they're shooting someone else (hopefully not scatter shooting your tank in the face though) and drop a trap at their feet... or wow orrrrr you can be really leet and hump their dead zone and get them to follow you quite often. Aggro the heck out of them with your trap nearby, move towards them to the point that neither of you can shoot each other (in both of your dead zones) and you may eat a scattershot, but better you than the tank, move up forward and smack them with a raptor strike or the like and back up... wow powerleveling trying to stay in their dead zone as they will follow you at that point, defaulting to trying to melee you before waiting for you to clear out to shooting distance. world of warcraft powerleveling This way you can step-by-step kite them into your trap. "Plenty of WoW guides out there that can show you how to get World of Warcraft gold easily but some are not really that brilliant and just tell you things that you could have found out on your own! For example, a reliable way is grinding, although make sure you are getting as much gold as possible always mix it with a profession like skinning so you can sell the coats of the animals you kill for big cash! By design, eve isk in World of Warcraft whether you play as a Horde Player or an Alliance player you will find you need a lot of gold especially in the later levels when you will need a good steed. An important thing that a good World of Warcraft Gold guide should explain is how you can make loads of gold from just doing the normal quests and exactly the way to do them so you make more gold.

"When placing a second trap by an already trapped mob, it is important to place that second trap *JUST* outside the trap trigger range for the trapped mob - this is roughly melee range. The reason this is important is that the second trap, if placed too close to the trapped mob, may just instantly spring upon finishing its arming time and reapplying the effect to the mob already in the trap. This may severely diminish the time that you can keep that mob trapped. Ideally you want the mob to break your trap, take one step and be in the next trap. The same applies if two hunters are trapping separate targets - they need to place their traps far enough apart that a mob stepping into either trap does not inadvertently spring BOTH traps on itself. The best I can tell you for finding the proper range for the second trap is that it's a feel thing, and you will get used to it if you practice - go try it out on some lowbie mobs and get used to it. So, that is the basics of hunter trapping and now you folks know why hunters ask for a little lead time on pulls where they are expected to trap. Remember also that the durations I've listed above for the amount of time a mob will be trapped assume zero resists. This does not occur often. Just like banish or sheep breaking early, a mob may break out of a trap early as well, and additionally, a mob may resist the initial trap - this is another reason why having the second trap cooled down on the pull is so important - if the mob resists that first trap, the hunter can usually get the next trap down right away and avoid major catastrophe and it is exceedingly unlikely to see two outright full resists if the hunter has the Trap Mastery talent. " "The Tauren Chef on the Art of Measuring Flour: Did you know that there are two ways to measure flour and that the method you use will change the amount of flour you measure out.

---

When you measure flour, stir the flour first, then spoon it into the measuring cup with a spoon and level it off with a straight edge. Do not use the measuring cup to scoop the flour out of the container; if you do this you can actually end up with 25% more flour than the recipe calls for and thus destroy the precise proportions of your baking chemistry. Try this simple experiment. Get a small bowl, a bag of flour, a 1 cup dry measuring cup, a large spoon, and a straight edge such as a ruler or knife. Open up the bag of flour and dig in with your measuring cup filling it up. Now level it off with your straight edge. It looks like you have one cup of flour, right. wow po Wrong. Empty the cup into the bowl. Now gently stir the flour in the bowl and spoon it into the measuring cup again, this time using the spoon. Level it off with the straight edge. wow See how much flour is left in the bowl. If you measure it you may find as much as ¼ cup of extra flour! Now imagine how that can affect your recipe. If you were making Mulgore Spice Bread, for example, using a 1-cup measure with the scooping method, instead of using the 3 to 3½ cups flour that the recipe requires, you may actually be using ⅞ of a cup extra. guild wars gold That would be as much as 3¾ to 4⅜ cups of flour, which is definitely more than the maximum amount the recipe calls for. That will cause an imbalance in your baking chemistry and will have a negative effect on your result. Now try making one of those great WoW bread recipes like Alterac Mana Biscuits, Moser’s Magnificent Muffin, or Harvest Bread.

"World of Warcraft definitely set new standards. It's so bad that I can't even lose my addiction to a new MMO because I keep comparing it to World of Warcraft and focus on the negative things. The combat system in World of Warcraft is superb. If they added it to Star Wars Galaxies, returned the rest of the game to the pre-NGE days with professions and alpha class Jedis and then upgraded the graphics, I'd be all over SOE for a copy of the game. But while they managed to turn Star Wars Galaxies into a sorry immitation of World of Warcraft, they forgot to add the combat system and the upgraded graphics. Not to mention the latency issues. Oh man. I'm running my games on this new quad core Intel rig with a decent gaming fitting (60-75 fps in Shattrath with all settings on max - except for the resolution), and the computer had no trouble rendering all the stuff in the game. Heck, on my old rig it would lag so bad when I got into major cities that I simply logged off in frustration. We're talking 1-2 fps or simply frozen screen. Now it's probably somewhere around 60 or 70 fps and no issues at all. However, the server side lag is still there. Imagine running past the Fargodeep Mine in Elwynn Forest on your way to Stormwind. You run right past one of them kobolds, but he just stands there and nothing appears to flag you for combat. guild wars gold Okay, sweet, you dodged the aggro or whatever. Now, imagine you reach the gates of Stormwind and suddenly you're flagged for combat, you lose 90% of your health and realize the kobold is right behind you, hitting you 20 times in a row (kind of like pre-nerf windfury, really).

---

That's Star Wars Galaxies. wow powerleveling I'm a rebel Jedi and I can run past Stormtroopers on my way out of the city. Nothing happens until I reach the outskirts of the city when the lag suddenly dies down and the Stormtroopers do a Flash Gordon from the centre of the city to me while launching a million blaster bolts, hitting me for all those seconds worth in damage. Of course, I'm an uber Jedi and just slay them right then and there. billig wow gold But still, it's annoying. There's a 5-second lag on everything." ": Want to speed up your cookie baking. Maybe you only have one cookie sheet. wow Rather than waiting for your first batch of cookies to finish baking, you can fill a second sheet of parchment paper with your second batch of drop cookies or rolled cookies. When your first batch is done, slide the parchment paper and baked cookies off the pan, and then slide the sheet of unbaked cookies on. Neater rolled cookies: Have you ever rolled and cut out cookie dough only to find that it had become stuck to the counter top or board. If you try to scrape up the cookies with a spatula they deform and moosh together. Parchment paper to the rescue! Try rolling out the cookie dough on lightly floured parchment paper, and then cut out cookies as usual. lotro gold The cookies will be much easier to remove from the parchment paper. By the way, the Tauren Chef recommends lining your baking sheet with parchment paper when making Delicious Cave Mold Cookies, Gingerbread Cookies, Winter Veil Cookies, and the canine and feline Hunter Pet Treats.

"Misc. Will one class have an advantage over the others. Some classes seem to be better equipped for gaining honor than others; was that taken into consideration. During our testing we did not come across any one class that had a distinct advantage over the others. Each class has an equal chance of rising through the ranks depending on how it is played. Keep in mind that the number of honorable kills that a player makes does not determine the rate at which ranks are gained, only that a fair kill was made. That should help alleviate some of the fears about certain classes being better than others. The more a player participates in player-vs-player battles, the higher the rank will be. Currently the realm crashes if there are too many people in one place, like Tarren Mill. wow honor How did you prepare the realms to deal with the added amount of stress that is going to be added with more frequent large scale PvP battles. For the time being the lag generated will be greater than normal. This should not last very long, as Battlegrounds will be released in the next patch! BattlegroundsThe Honor System has been anticipated for some time now, and now that it is released everyone is eager to jump in and try it out! Once the Battlegrounds go live they will draw players away from towns like Crossroads and Tarren Mill and into the instanced environments designed to support large scale player-vs-player battles. It seems that some realms have way more Alliance than Horde members. wow profession leveling How will this affect the Honor System . Contrary to popular belief, the numbers of Horde and Alliance are very similar on player-vs-player realms. Also, most players will be fighting for honor in Battlegrounds once they are released.

---

The Battlegrounds will have a controlled number on both sides, so the overall realm balance should not affect either faction's abaility to gain Honor. wow gold How am I supposed to play the game when every where I go someone is waiting to gank me. The graveyard is nice, but I want to see the rest of the world too! Once Battlegrounds are released the amount of player-vs-player conflicts found around the world will most likely decrease significantly. The same goes for ganking found in the contested zones around Azeroth. Fighting in the Battlegrounds will yeild far more honor than fighting anywhere else. wow lvl service With that said, players who chose to create characters on a PvP realm are supposed to feel a sense of danger where ever they go, that is why we offer player-vs-player realms!

"Once I gain Honor, do I keep it indefinitely, or do I have to keep earning it. The Honor System is created so that players have to continue killing the enemy in order to keep their ranks. If a player does not fight or does not earn as many points from week to week, his or her standing will fluctuate. Over time Honor points will ""decay"". If a player goes down in ranks, any items or titles he has earned will be taken away until the rank is earned back. What do you mean my Honor points will decay. There is only a percentage correction between the current honor rating and the new rating. This is because honor points behave more like a rating system than a leveling system. Does it always correct at the same rate, or do the player's rank/duration away affect it. wow honor Rank changes as a percentage of the difference between a player's current honor rating and his or her current week's honor rating. However, in order to give players a cushion for ""off weeks"", the correction is substantially faster when a player is increasing their honor rating than it is going down. Does it decay to zero, or is there some nominal rank it stops at. Players would typically have to be inactive in PvP for a very long time (months) before they lose all rank. " "Penalties What sort of penalties are there for dishonorable behavior. wow profession leveling We have recently implemented the first steps toward a Dishonor system. Trivial civilian NPCs such as quest givers and vendors give Dishonorable Kills to players who kill them, or who are part of a party that kills them. Are there any places where we can fight that will cause a negative honor gain if you kill the opposing faction.

An example would be an Argent Dawn camp. Not at this time. wow gold However, there will be times at which players will be worth no honor. For example, when a player loads into the world by crossing an instance line or logging in, or immediately after landing from a flight, that player will be worth no honor for a short time. Are there any safe guards in place to prevent players from killing each other to climb up the ranks. For example, ""you let me kill you and I will let you kill me"" over and over again. That seems like it would be the fastest way to reach the top ranks of the Honor System. wow lvl service Killing the same player repeatedly will have diminishing returns, so it will not be worthwhile for either player. In addition to that, any players caught participating in behavior described above will be guilty of exploiting the game and will be dealt with accordingly. The system we have in place can track unusual patterns to help expose this behavior. What if guilds coordinate with each other to ""trade"" players to kill so they are not always fighting the same player. Any guilds caught participating in this activity will also be considered exploiting the game and will be penalized accordingly. If I gain the 5th rank, and I purchase the Bracers as listed in the chart above, what happens if I drop down to the 4th rank. Will I still be able to wear the bracers.

"What happens if we take out a faction leader in a raid group. Who gets the honor. Members of the raid group that taps the creature will share the honor points equally. The points will be distributed the same way as experience points. It should be noted, however, that strategic targets are there to promote conflict and role-play between the Alliance and Horde, so players will find that killing enemy leaders will not be a disproportionately large source of honor. If I am a raid leader, will I receive more honor than other non-leader raid group members. No. Honor is divided equally among all raid-party members. If I am on the other end of the battlefield as my party or raid group, will I still get honor for any kills they make. wow honor No. Earning honor falls within the normal rules of experience gain. Players must be in the general area to receive the honor. How many points do I need to get my next rank. This is one area where the PvP and normal experience system differ. wow profession leveling There is no set amount of honor needed to reach a certain level. The PvP ranking system is based on the number of players engaging in PvP combat, and how good each player is in relation to other players. Think of the PvP rankings as a curve, where the highest ranks will encompass the top percentage of players. While there are a finite amount of players who can be in the top ranks, the actual number will depend on how many other characters on the server are involved in PvP. wow gold The more players competing, the more players will be able to reach the top ranks. How does my PvP Rank update. PvP ranks are compiled once a week, and will coincide with the weekly server maintenance.

There is a minimum number of honorable kills per week required for eligibility; this number is flexible and depends on the average number of honorable kills for your realm that week. wow lvl service Based on the number of honor received per week and the amount of people involved in PvP combat, a rating value is assessed for each player.

"World of Warcraft I chose to focus on the game World of Warcraft for several reasons: At the moment, it is by far the most popular MMORPG and has a truly international scope with dedicated servers in the U.S., Europe and Asia. It allows for localization of the game into different languages.buy cheap wow gold. The structure of the game is similar to most MMORPGs.buy wow gold. World of Warcraft is a fantasy game populated with elves, dwarves, and other fantastic characters.cheap wow gold. Players choose their “race” and are given “quests” or tasks.fast wow gold. In order to complete these tasks, the player is required to speak to characters controlled by the software, read texts, and speak and collaborate with other players through text chatting and messengers.guild wars gold. This final aspect separates MMORPGs from other more traditional games. By making communication among the players a central aspect to the game, it provides a unique opportunity for teachers to make use of an already-existing virtual environment that requires students to use the target language to communicate with native speakers in order to achieve a goal. The Social Environment of Language-Learning Recognizing the social aspect of learning a language is key to understanding the potential of MMORPGs in a foreign language classroom. We gain a true understanding of a word’s meaning, a grammatical construct, or proper use of a phrase not by translating into our native language, but rather by placing it within context. This context, whether we are reading or speaking, is inevitably a social one. Natural language never exists within a vacuum. One of the principal thinkers in this area is James Paul Gee. Gee refers to a family of related viewpoints that he calls “situated cognition studies” that states that “the meaning of language is not some abstract propositional representation that resembles a verbal language.

---

Rather, meaning in language is tied to people’s experiences of situated action in the material and social world.""[1] While Gee’s focus is primarily on first language acquisition among children, we have seen this theory extended to second language acquisition as well. Dwight Atkinson outlines basic principles for a sociocognitive approach to SLA beginning with the environment: “Language is learned in interaction, often with more capable social members. Classroom teachers are part of this group where second languages are concerned, but only a part—peers, mentors, role models, friends, family members and significant others can also fall into this category.”[2] He also cites previous works emphasizing the active nature of language learning within this environment, where “…language and its acquisition from a sociocognitive perspective, would be seen in terms of ‘action’ and ‘participation’—as providing extremely powerful semiotic means of performing and participating in activity-in-the-world.”[3] Regardless of whether we are talking about first or second language acquisition, the basic principle remains consistent: language is the necessary tool for the language learner to complete tasked-based activities that require social interaction and collaboration in a “real world” environment. " .

"Much of the current research in second language acquisition (SLA) stresses the social aspect of language acquisition.buy cheap wow gold. Creating a learner-centered environment that a) fosters collaboration and communication, b) keeps learners motivated and on-task, and c) gives them a say in choosing their goals and how to achieve them, can be extremely challenging.buy wow gold. Students will benefit from a framework that offers a wide variety of solutions to a given “real life” situation--solutions that require different amounts of time as well as vocabulary and grammar in the target language.cheap wow gold. MMORPGs Many of these goals can be achieved using simulations or gaming.fast wow gold. For foreign languages, games—especially massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPGs)—create a simulated environment of language immersion where students are given the opportunity to apply their language skills toward “real life” goals within an extensive context that is, by design, supportive of a wide variety of solutions.guild wars gold. Because this framework already exists, the teacher is free to spend his or her time playing the role of guide, making sure students stay on task and receive the additional information they need to overcome obstacles on their way toward achieving their goal. For those not familiar with MMORPGs, they are online role-playing games where players move, act and communicate with other players in an internet-based virtual three-dimensional environment. “Winning” is usually not the point of a MMORPG; rather, players group together online to achieve certain goals and thereby progress through the game. Communication plays a central role in the game. Audio and video are embedded throughout the environment, and it is also necessary to communicate with other players in the game through audio messengers or text chat programs. " .

"On November 23, 2004, Rob Pardo and his team at Blizzard Entertainment wrapped up four years of development on World of Warcraft.buy cheap wow gold. It quickly became the most popular massively multi-player online game ever, with more than 6 million subscribers each paying up to $15 a month to access its fantastic realms.buy wow gold. (At the peak of its popularity, EverQuest had only about half a million subs.) I started playing a year ago and have become custodian of We Know, a guild of about 250 people worldwide: medics, CEOs, bartenders, mothers, soldiers, students.cheap wow gold. We assemble in-game to mount epic six-hour raids that require some members to wake at 4 am and others to stay up all night.fast wow gold. Outside the game, we stay in touch using online forums, a wiki, blogs, and a mailing list – plus a group voice chat, which I’ve connected to my home stereo so I can hear the guild’s banter while I’m cooking dinner.guild wars gold. I have never been this addicted to anything before. My other hobbies are gone. My daily blogging regimen has taken a hit. And my social life revolves more and more around friends in the game. MMORPGs are not new – I played one of the first through the Essex University computer network in the early 1980s. Back then, everything was text, and MMORPGs were a nerdy subculture of the then-minuscule online world. But Blizzard synthesized the accomplishments of all past role-playing games and added the rich gameplay and narratives of its previous Warcraft games. There are four basic draws in any MMORPG: the ability to socialize, an achievement system that gives players an incentive to improve, complex and satisfying strategy that makes combat fun, and an underlying narrative that players want to learn more about. Pardo’s group nailed all of these.

---

Blizzard also updates the game continuously, adding features and addressing user requests. Later this year, an expansion will add new zones and 10 more experience levels – particularly great for players like me who have maxed out at level 60. Pardo’s team also deserves credit for creating a system that allows players themselves to customize their interfaces and code modifications to improve their WoW experience.
