Bearheals: (on archaeology) The smallest distance between two points is a bunch of erratic zigzags.
After patch 4.3 went live in late November, class columnists and commenters busied themselves with the new 5-mans and Dragon Soul raid. I think it’s safe to say that Raid Finder problems have dominated December commentary. Players loved it as a feature, but they hated the various cheats that guilds used to get themselves to a four-piece tier bonus as quickly as possible, and they especially hated the outbreak of loot greed. More on this past the cut.
That wraps up our look back at 2011, and I’m looking forward to a bright, happy, and hopefully less trees-falling-on-my-house-filled 2012, even if the world is apparently scheduled to come to a crashing halt next December. Happy new year, everyone, and if you’re out partying tonight, stay safe.

Silversol: You cast symbiosis on a warlock. You get soul swap. They get symbiosis. Combat log divides by zero. Your computer gets sucked into a black hole.
Patch 4.3 went live on Nov. 29 to much rejoicing (well, from everyone barring a very unhappy legion of restoration druids smarting over the Wild Growth nerf), and Blizzard saw it, and said that it was good, and rested on Sunday, and then went back to nerfing everything on Monday.
Also, Skyrim was released around the middle of the month, and we didn’t hear from several of our staffers for weeks.

As with all BlizzCon-related months, October was jam-packed, and probably the busiest month of 2011 for the site.
However, this bit of news belongs in a special category all its own: Hello and Goodbye. Dan O’Halloran, our fearless editor-in-chief and a mysterious figure who communicated largely through a series of lolcats, left to head up Tecca, and Alex Ziebart took the reins. Goodbye, farewell, and amen, Dan. By the way, the image you see above is Fox’s response to Dan’s email earlier this year about restarting the About the Bloggers series.

Curulan: Pigeon raid boss. I love it. GET ON THIS, BLIZZARD.
September was pretty much all patch 4.3, all the time. The PTR didn’t actually go live until close to the end of the month, but we definitely made up for lost time when it did. Transmogrification thoughts still dominated the site’s more idle discussion — who doesn’t love cool-looking gear? — but art-related talk kicked into high gear once everyone saw the visual proc off the new rogue legendary. That would go on to provide one of December’s better jokes.
