Icecrown Raid Access Progression Revealed!
Lead Encounter Designer Daelo has published a lengthy post on the official forums that outlines Blizzard's plans for
access progression
in the Icecrown Citadel raid. The citadel will be broken up into four sections, and all of them won't immediately be available when
patch 3.3
goes live.
We believe a staggered release of the content will allow players to experience Icecrown Citadel at a sustainable, measured, and ultimately more enjoyable pace.
Here's a list of the noteworthy points Daelo mentions in his post:
The Lower Spire will be the only section that is available initially.
Plagueworks will open several weeks later, followed by the Crimson Hall and Frostwing Halls.
Players may not attempt the Heroic 10/25-player encounters until they defeat the Lich King in the Normal 10/25-player encounters.
The Lich King may not be attempted until Professor Putricide, Blood-Queen Lana'thel, and Sindragosa are defeated

G4 Interviews Blizzard Team for WoW 5-Year Anniversary Retrospective
World of Warcraft turns five years old on November 23, 2009, and G4 has kicked off the celebration a little early with a series of
retrospective interviews
with some big names at Blizzard.
X-Play host Morgan Webb sat down with Game Director
Tom Chilton
, Lead World Designer
Alex Afrasiabi
and former Game Director
Jeffrey "Tigole" Kaplan
to look back at the history of WoW from day one.
The combined videos total more than 35 minutes in length, so there's a lot to digest in the retrospective. There's nothing particularly noteworthy mentioned in the interviews, but they're certainly worth viewing for fans who are interested in hearing Chilton, Afrasiabi and Kaplan reminisce about WoW's history and explain their duties at Blizzard.
Kaplan's Departure
For those of you who don't know, Kaplan left the WoW team to work on Blizzard's next big MMO project, which he's "super excited about" but couldn't discuss in det

Official Preview of Quel'Delar, the Sister Blade
In anticipation of patch 3.3, Blizzard has posted
the lore
surrounding
Quel'Delar
, the sister blade of
Quel'Serrar
. The articles focuses on the history of the weapon, from its creation at the hands of the Dragon Aspects and night elves to its destruction at the hands of Queen Lana'thel.
Actually, destruction is too harsh a word. Quel'Delar was shattered, and players will be able to embark on an epic quest in patch 3.3 to find the pieces and reforge it. According to the post, "several classes can use Quel'Delar, and the sword can fit several different play styles. For any class that is unable to wield it, however, the Sunreaver blood elves and the Silver Covenant high elves will gladly take this relic of their history in exchange for a usable weapon."

Icecrown Citadel Debuff Will Lower Players' Dodge Chance by 20%
Daelo just
announced
on the official forums that a spell called
Chill of the Throne
will be in effect for
all players in Icecrown Citadel
that "will allow mobs to ignore 20% of the dodge chance of their melee targets."
Why would Blizzard do this? It looks like tank avoidance has grown so high that a hard-hitting melee boss can take down a raid tank in a few hits if the blows aren't avoided. Chill of the Throne will give the dev team "a bit of breathing room" while they look at ways to keep tank avoidance from growing so high in the future. Presumably, the overall damage will be reduced to compensate—meaning the damage will be similar overall, but less spiky.
Just to be clear about what the spell does, I'll use Daelo's example: "if a raid's main tank had 30% dodge normally, in Icecrown Citadel they will effectively have 10%." Chill of the Throne should be up on the PTR soon so you can check out the effects. What are your preliminary thoughts on the spell?

Mage, Rogue, Warlock Tier 10 Previews Added to Official Site
Hey everyone! I'm Togikagi, a news reporter for ZAM. I post WoW news on our site, and (just like
fewyn
) Malgayne has been kind enough to let me participate in the Wowhead blog to help provide constant World of Warcraft coverage. For my first post, let's take a look at the upcoming Tier 10 sets.
A couple weeks ago, Blizzard
released
previews of the new Tier 10 models for Death Knights, Druids, Hunters, and Warriors that will be available in patch 3.3. Sneak peeks of the Mage, Rogue and Warlock sets were just added to the
preview page
today, so be sure to check it out to view high-res images of the new armor.

So what do you think of the sets? The Rogue helm is certainly...interesting. It kind of looks like the model wasn't able to avoid a headshot from a Hunter.
