Bejeweled 1.02 is out

by Mike Schramm Oct 16th 2008 at 9:30PM

The most important addon of all has been updated to version 1.02 for compatibility with patch 3.0.2: PopCap's Bejeweled has a new version ready for download on their site that will work just great with the new patch. And there's a new feature, too: PopCap says so many people asked for a little minimap relief that they've added an option to either turn the minimap icon off completely, or move it around the minimap wherever you like.

Unfortunately, the endgame got nerfed so much that odds are you won't die in raids until Wrath, so that part of the addon probably won't get used much. But my flight paths have felt empty without the gems to match since Tuesday -- the new version of Bejeweled is the most welcome addition to my addon folder.

I finally gave in and d'ld it about a week ago, and boy, does it make 12 min flight timers go fast. (uc---->stonard)

Just go to Booty Bay instead, from Rachet.

no, better, if you're @UC, take the zepp to grom'gol then fly to stonard.

I know about that, it's just that everytime I try to take zepps, I seem to become autistic or something, and I either end up missing the zepp or falling off, dying, and missing it. Don't ask me why, I have no idea.

With ret being nerfed TO THE GROUND BABY, this is really the only reason to play wow anymore.

Great addon when bored:P

So... you need a game to play while playing a game?

Is that a sign that WoW is an addiction?

Wikt Oct 18th 2008 12:11PM

Yeah, that's what's bothering me so much about the fad around this addon. Why would you need a minigame to amuse yourself while playing a game that is technically intended for amusement? Just go make a tea or browse the Internets if you need amusement while flying. If you play that while raiding you should seriously think over the fact you're amusing yourself with something else in a raid.

I'm not trying to say you're not allowed to have fun - but if such things as Bejeweled keep you playing the game, you're doing something seriously wrong.

Not certain if this would classify as an "add-on" or not (it's not, it's a separate program, but it does rely upon WoW being installed), but does anyone have any idea when to expect the updated WoW Model Viewer for patch 3.0.2?

I first downloaded it after the last patch was "live", so I didn't have the luxury of knowing how long it took between the patch being installed and the updated WMV being available...so for now, I've had to bite the bullet and reinstall WoW to the patch before (which means I can't PLAY!!! WHAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! Yes, I'd like some cheese with that wine - provolone, please).

Actually, it *is* an addon. It's just a version of Bejeweled written in lua. Have a look at the contents of the addon folder if you don't believe me.

You might want to read Keyra's post there.

Didn't they originally say that the first version would work with the new patch?

offday Oct 16th 2008 11:53PM

Also, moving the bejeweled icon around the minimap isn't a new feature. You could do it with the last version as well.

"Unfortunately, the endgame got nerfed so much that odds are you won't die in raids until Wrath, so that part of the addon probably won't get used much."

I LOL'd. This is the truth. We have been wiping on Kalecgos for a few weeks. We went there tonight for the first time post patch, one shot him, and proceeded to one-shot brutallus on our first try with 90 seconds left on the enrage timer.

We didn't even take a SS, we all felt so cheated.
