WoW - Oh God Please Let Me Get A CE For Burning Crusade

[AChimp]

You can use the dressing room thing to preview items on your character. You just press CTRL and click the item.

I dressed up like High Warlord once. :(

[bigtimecow]

oh i know. i was just being a fool :-p

[Carnivore]

Going to start BWL runs the first of the year. I can smell my Herald of Woe (http://www.thottbot.com/?i=46350) already!

And I saw the video, AChimp. God damned Shamans.... >:

[AChimp]

Shamans rule! I killed an epic'd-up-the-ass hunter with my 55 shaman and didn't even break a sweat!

[Dr. V]

Some priest kited a named green dragon into xroads today. All hell broke loose. It was chaos! I ws gonna take pics but it didn't occur to me untill like 30 secs before I had to leave for work. But needless to say it was cool.

[EisigerBiskuit]

Is that one of those Portal Protecting things?

[ArrowX]

God I want this game but I rekon I need a better comp to run it.

Duron 750
256mbRAM
Rage Fury Pro....

[MetalMilitia]

You think?

[DamnthatDavid]

we don't want you in the game :(

Oh, I almost got my brother banned for playing on his account and running around calling everyone gay while he was away in the Bathroom. GOD DAMN, those alliance people are uppitty faggots.

[EisigerBiskuit]

I called someone a horde fag as a compliment and everyone hopped on the touchy-feely band wagon. I got banned during sleep though.

[CaptainBubba]

One time a group of 60 taurens and orcs just sat around a level 35 area and turned pvp on then positioned them near npc enemies so that we would accidently attack them and go into pvp so they could kill us. it went on for about an hour till we just left. They followed us for about another half hour but went back to the spot later, as when we returned they were still there.

This was before Honor points or any reward whatsoever existed for killing players. The horde is full of faggots just like any other internet group.

I even tried to communicate peace through kissing and dancing with them .

[AChimp]

Sorry, that's just funny. :lol

I fully endorse the actions of those Horde.

[Mr. Oysterhead]

A couple days ago me and this other warlock went to Goldshire and dropped some infernals. Then we set them loose so they could kill all the lowbie players. It was hilarious; especially since they all tried to defend themselves and only managed to piss them off. Then all our fun was ruined when some pallies showed up and didn't die.

[CaptainBubba]

Yea! Lol! Those guys played the game for a longer time on that character and now other people can't play! Haha that is funny, mostly because realistically the only person who finds being a jerk online for no reason probably gets broken bottles shoved up his ass by his drunk step-dad every night because he forgot to pick up the newports for him! lol!

Seriously its just annoying for casual gamers to not get to play a game they dont play much anyway because some of the opposing faction feels bored with end game content. Thats why I picked a PvE server in the first place and these guys shouldnt have apparently.

[AChimp]

You should have picked a PvP server, because those guys wouldn't have been standing there for longer than a minute.

[DeadKennedys]

Real or fake, I know not

[xbxDaniel]

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c342/xbxmcj/wow_newraces.jpg

Same here. I found this, but I'm thinking that it possibly could be photoshopped. Don't know, just tossing this out there.

[EisigerBiskuit]

Well that information has been swimming around for a while. I say pandas.

The brtutal orcs

[AChimp]

The pandas would be retarded. It'll probably be Draeni or Worgen.

[CaptainBubba]

Heres my list of possibilities:

*Treants: Makes sense. Would be awesome. Not gonna happen.

*Keepers of the Grove/Dryads: Makes sense. Awesome. Fat Chance.

*Nerubians: Could make lots of sense with the upcoming Silithid. Awesome beyond awesomeness. Never gonna happen.

*Worgen: Wtf?


*Draeni: Doesn't make sense. Allied with Blood Elves. Lame and easy cop-out idea. Most likely canidate. :/

[AChimp]

It has to be a humanoid (2 arms, 2 legs) otherwise people will start asking stupid questions like "why can't my dryad wear 2 pairs of boots?"

The Nerubians are all dead and controlled by the Scourge now.

[DeadKennedys]

Xb, that's a fake picture because the blood elves will probably only have magic classes. Also, he looks like a night elf drawn over in blood elf colors... oh wait :lol

PLEASE be pandas

[EisigerBiskuit]

Well that is actually a model from within the game. Just cut inside of the selection screen.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v87/Eisiger/pandarian.jpg
P-P-P-P-Panda!

[CaptainBubba]

Did you ever play the Frozen Throne Chimp? There are surviving Nerubians as well who were never brought down. You have to fight them as Athas while traveling to the Frozen Throne.

In addition, the Sithilid and Nerubians descended from the same bloodline and eventually split, presumeably on a bad note. This could easily give way to some sort of alliance with alliance forces.

Maybe Dryads could wear two boots and n pants or something :rolleyes cmon it would be great.

[Misdemonar]

Alliance probaley gets keebler elves.

[the_dudefather]

pandas would be awesome, and a good counter-race (?) to the tauren.

i still wish they had goblins for horse tho, what we dont need are more prissy elves

[Misdemonar]

I thought it was goblins too.

[DamnthatDavid]

I would rather of had a 3rd faction :( Bloodelves, Naga, and Drenai (give them the Worgen also)

There would be no more Alliance or Horde! IT WOULD BE AWESOME!

(seriously, I think Blizzard should give random chance rewards to lvl 60s. Like give them the ability to start a Pandarian or Naga charachter.)

[Misdemonar]

3rd faction should be burning legion and the scourge.

[EisigerBiskuit]

They would have the most fucking unfair hometown ever.

[xbxDaniel]

The whole thing with the blood evles, supposedly, is that the horde needed a "pretty" race to boost the players playing for the horde. They think that the alliance to horde ratio is unbalanced, and this is their solution.

That's just what I've read on some sites.

[the_dudefather]

makes sense i suppose, its annoying playing in a server with few horde players, its hard to get anything cheap/good in the AH and makes high level instancing harder to group.

anyway, once i get back to my pc in scotland i might start up my account again, start a new serious character, maybe on an rp-pvp server.

thinking about either going night-elf hunter or rouge, troll shaman or undead warrior (ahhh choices)

[xbxDaniel]

can anyone suggest the best server for playing as the horde. I'm on bronzebeard and was on for an hour earlier. About six people were on. I was a tauren though, and only around thunderbluff. I don't know if that's important.

[Misdemonar]

Mal'Ganis, Horde controlls that server.

[DamnthatDavid]

I started the game on that server

[CaptainBubba]

The article is real btw. I read the magazine on my break at work. I don't understand how they can get away with saying that whether draeni is the new race or not.

[AChimp]

Hmm... those magazines have been wrong before. I have an old issue of Computer Gaming that gave a preview of StarCraft and everything is completely different from what actually ended up being in the game (i.e. Terran bunkers were called "pillboxes" and the Zerg had burrowing units that could move around underground).

[AChimp]

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4446981554735098778

LOL.

[CaptainBubba]

uhh. All I get is a black screen. I have flash player version 8.

downloaded it off of filefront though. Its just the song with two people doing emotions to it :( I expected something better. Or WoW related :(

The end with them dancing is funny though.

[Dr. V]

I liked it. And I don't like anything. :P BTW I formed my guild "The Nasty Midnighters" so if you have like a 3rd alt, lemme know. Vulthres is my shams name.

[the_dudefather]

you should have called it "Sunday, monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday"

[Dr. V]

I was gonna name it Gigliofonanomacon but no one got it.

[the_dudefather]

'superawesomevilliansforever' or 'got villians?' could have been possibilities too :P

cant wait to get back to my own pc so i can get back into WOW. decided im going to start a horde warrior, but which race? either orc (decent racial ability and very warrior like), undead (because they are awesome) or tauren (ground stomp kicks ass)

someone help me make my descision for me

[AChimp]

While Orcs are indeed quite awesome, I think you should go for Undead or Tauren because their racial abilities are much more usefull for combat, especially PvP.

If you're not gonna go for PvP, then any of them will be fine, but you'll find that WotF is perfect against a lot of casters and mobs. Warstomp also kicks serious ass against everything.

[EisigerBiskuit]

Actually, with orc's 25% stun resist and the warriors 15% stun resist ability, that makes him a juggernaut against rogues. I dueled a level 25 at level 13 and he tried to gouge me the whole battle, not once did it go off.

Their base strength is also a plus, and if you decide to be an attack power whore, that racial skill will pull off insane numbers.

Reading all that back, I feel like a dork.

[AChimp]

The 25% resist is not "resist 1/4 of all stuns." It's a 25% bonus to the 5% base bonus that you already get, which makes it 6.25%.

Taurens get extra stamina, too.

[DeadKennedys]

War Stomp isn't a good reason to pick Tauren. I was a human warrior and I raped taurens with Charge + Hamstring, war stomp wore off before hamstring so they were sitting ducks. I had the most trouble with orc warriors beacause they were strong and also resisted my stun a whole lot.

[EisigerBiskuit]

The 25% resist is not "resist 1/4 of all stuns." It's a 25% bonus to the 5% base bonus that you already get, which makes it 6.25%.

Taurens get extra stamina, too.

So that totally doesnt explain the whole no gouge working thing.

[AChimp]

It means that he's unlucky and should learn a skill other than Gouge.

[the_dudefather]

think ill go orc then, think i got a level 14 one in my account somewhere

[AChimp]

PATCH DAY!!!!

[EisigerBiskuit]

He was only gouging because I was low level. I nearly killed him then he went all psuedo-fucktastic on me

[DamnthatDavid]

Bestial Wrath - Damage bonus reduced, duration increased. In addition, while enraged, the beast will be immune to Disorient effects (e.g. Scatter Shot, Blind, etc.)

DEAR GOD NOOOO! MY I WIN BUTTON!!! REDUCED DAMAGE!!! GOD HATES THE HUNTERS!

But, Boars now have charge/stun... that is good. VERY good in the land of the chase.[/quote]

[Mr. Oysterhead]

Everything broke and Testament kicked me :(

Patch 1.9 sucks.

[Misdemonar]

Horde rules all!

[CaptainBubba]

THINGS IVE NOTICED WITH PATCH 1.9:

*MORE LAG

*BROKEN MAIL AND AH SYSTEM

*BROKEN BG

*RANDOM DISCONNECTS 10 TIMES AS FREQUENT

*NEW ICON FOR "INSECT SWARM" OH BOY OH BOY!!!

[AChimp]

All my mods broke and I couldn't get my auction money from the mailbox, but I got the Felheart Belt. :O

[DamnthatDavid]

I'll give it a couple of days

[Dr. V]

This is the end of all.

[RaNkeri]

Well.... I personally think that WoW sucks... it's just an overhyped piece of crap played by 12-15 jerks who have nolife.... but that's just me! :/

[Guitar Woman]

If by WoW you mean Phantasy Star Online, then yes.

[nothing4buddha]

i cancelled my wow account, it wasn't getting enough love :(

[Supafly345]

Phantasy Star Online was killer. And would have rocked even more if everyone would have gotten Dreamcast Online.

[Ninjavenom]

You wouldn't be willing to give it away to me, would you? I bought a card for 60 days cuz i thought that if you had the discs all you needed was to start paying the fee to play, i didn't realize you needed a cd-key. I have the ISOs, so i'm kinda screwed util payday or until some kind soul gives me their account ;o


also, PSO is still awesome, and PSOBB is even better. I can't wait for PSU <3 <3 <3

[the_dudefather]

fell off the wagon and im back in the game.

oh well, there goes the chance to play other games for a while

[DamnthatDavid]

I keep buying older games at getting my self side tracked...

GOD DAMN Helms Deep in the Battle for Middle-Earth on hard is freaking... hard.

Can't do a horse rush, damn pikemen ripe my horses new assholes.
Can't go hero, get mobbed by crossbow orcs
Can't go Bow, freaking bows are way to weak :(

GOD DAMMIT GIMILI, you could of lasted 55 more seconds. :(

[AChimp]

Killed Hakkar today. He's a little bitch. Easiest boss fight ever. >:

[CaptainBubba]

All the wonders of the sea! Are gonna be served up HOT to me!
Fiiiish Pockeeeets!!

Have killed Razorgore the Untamed twice since the start of the year, but keep wiping on Vaelstraz. That is one friggin' HARD dragon to kill! BWL rocks!

[the_dudefather]

yeah the new paladin set kicks ass :)

[DeadKennedys]

Anyone want to buy my Collector's Edition?

[AChimp]

Sorry, Carni. You can't match me for sheer evilness... I got the General Kael hat.

[DamnthatDavid]

It does look badass

[Carnivore]

Yeah, it's cool and all, but it looks like it's eating your head :P

[AChimp]

Eating or... GLOWING WITH THE POWER OF AWESOME???? :eek

[Immortal Goat]

What the hell is with the new patch? Is anyone else seeing other players move around all jerky-like?

[AChimp]

Blizzard broke stuff for some video cards. :(

[Immortal Goat]

Any word on when it's getting fixed? :(

[AChimp]

Supposed to be a new patch tomorrow to fix it.

[bigtimecow]

yeah, i was noticing that A LOT too. but it seems to be fine now.

[bigtimecow]

and that helm is fucking :love

i'm grinding until like, lvl 40 when i can get my mount. any good suggestions for places?

i'm level 33 and i've been at shimmering flats for awhile. and now i'm making my way to stranglethorn.

[bigtimecow]

:(

[DamnthatDavid]

I like the interface on your screen. Which is it?

[the_dudefather]

this war effort is great for business, 2g50s for a stack of wool.

you cant effort NOT to take advantage of it

[Carnivore]

Profiteering bastard! Do you care about NOTHING?

[AChimp]

I have made a tidy profit on many war goods, as well. But, it's all going to pay for the stuff I need to raise my Thorium Brotherhood reputation. :(

[the_dudefather]

anyone about lv20 can get wool EASILY.

im catering to lazy people with too much money

[bigtimecow]

SOOO

who wants to help me with frostmaw tomorrow night?

[Dr. V]

I've been in ALterac Valley for a about 3 days now. I've won two matches and lost one. I actually took command of the entire raid and led us to victory, with the help of Gimmpy. He was my second in command. We won in one hour and ten minutes. I'm already honered, I'm all decked out in Frostwolf gear. I kick ass.

[bigtimecow]

i just realized the title was changed to father winter being naughty :lol

ALRIGHT COME ON, I NEED TO GET FROSTMAW DONE GUYS

[DamnthatDavid]

Damn you Volsh! You and your honored status! Hunters just can't do the damage a war can... :(

[Ninjavenom]

http://terrorizer.home.comcast.net/WoW-Merz.gif


If anyone can guess where that is, you get a point :o

[Emu]

it looks like those islands from WC3 where that one guy's tomb is

[AChimp]

It looks like the roof of some Horde building in the Barrens.

[bigtimecow]

yes! achimp is the man, getting me 4500 xp and a sweet helm for frostmaw.

for some reason, i pictured having to travel through a lot of mountains and caves for the quest, but it turns out that it only took like 5 fucking minutes.

i was glad to get it done, but right after i put the meat on the fire i ask "where is he" to find achimp (nimon) and someone else (korax) hitting frostmaw maybe twice, and ask soon as i get a glimpse at him he's collapsing. lame, but cool.

THANKS FELLAS, I-MOCK FORLYFE BFFLS

[AChimp]

Haha Frostmaw is level 37 with just a few more HP than a regular yeti.

You need to explore more areas and get more flight paths. >:

[Ninjavenom]

Which server are you guys playing on? I play with the guys at my work on Hellscream, and they're all alliance, but i do wanna start a Horde character eventually :o

[DamnthatDavid]

We kicking it around Laughing Skull. If you start one, give me a yell. I have a low level Alt Warrior that would be awesome to bring up with someone else. Chimp left me in the dust with nimon. *sob*

[bigtimecow]

:(

i'm still a nub

[DeadKennedys]

Well, Medivh finished the War Effort collection and the Scarab Wall has been opened. I read that alot of lower levels tagged along to see the event unfold, but all players under level 30 were told that they were crowding the place and would be ported "somewhere safe" for the duration of the event. Also, characted creation on Medivh and Mannorath (who's in 2nd place) has been frozen till the thing's over.

I think it's kinda shitty that Blizzard continuously gives the shaft to low level players who want to participate in some new content, whether it's this event or dungeons that only the most hopelessly hardcore losers can participate in (like BWL); many of which may have helped out with the collection effort.

[AChimp]

Actually, those low level characters had no business being there and many were characters that people from other servers created just to a) slow down the server to delay the opening and b) see the event for themselves because their server is a few weeks behind.

[Ninjavenom]

For the record, anyone who uses the term "twink" instead of "tweak" is a total faggot. Mostly because it's a stupid word, but also, i would not like to think of gay sex when i think of Warcraft, if possible.

[Chojin]

It's just like, two steps away already.

[Carnivore]

Infidel.

[mew barios]

Forgive me, friend! Your death only adds to my failure!

you kill vael yet carni? we got him the other day

Takin From a guy at CSDL Forums.

[Dr. V]

That's weird, my warlock's name is kiljaden and even though its not the same it's close. I've even talked to GM's and they haven't said a word.

[AChimp]

Blizzard only cares if someone reports your name. There was a guy in DA named Porass that got reported by some asshole (Porass refused to sell him a bunch of mats for really cheap, so the guy reported him). He changed his name to Morass, and then was reported again so he changed it back to Porass. :lol

[Carnivore]

Forgive me, friend! Your death only adds to my failure!

you kill vael yet carni? we got him the other day

Yeah, we've taken Vael down once. Of course I couldn't live through it. I was smacked with Burning Adrenaline like third in the fight. We HAD Razorgore on farm until we had to train a bunch of new hunters :(

[AChimp]

We just attempted Razorgore tonight. A few hours of constant wiping sucks. We didn't even get to phase 2 because the hunters in our guild fucking suck. Bunch of PvP fags. >:

[DamnthatDavid]

I would play Makatiel more often if people in Testament would help some of those who don't have all the keys to get all the keys.

I can name a couple :( but the Raids are always full, so it seems like they never need to bother to get others the required items.

[Carnivore]

We killed Razorgore our fourth attempt on our first night and several times since. Attempts on him are either disastrous or pristine. I can generally tell pretty quickly what it's going to be. During Razorgore, paladins heal exclusively. I can tell we'll wipe if I have dragonkin crawling up my ass not being put to sleep by druids. When I have to switch from healing those in my charge to healing myself exclusively just to stay alive, I know somebody fucked up in their kiting.

[AChimp]

Our best attempt was 12 eggs remaining. :(

[ziggytrix]

Man this thread is awesome. Every time I get the urge to reac, all I have to do is read it and the urge just goes away.

yea thats what everyone on my server was saying.. i wonder what happens now :/

[Dr. V]

You walk through it.... :rolleyes

oh thanks man i didnt know :lol i was just clearing it up i didnt know what in the :lol world would happen man lol

[AChimp]

ALLIANCE HOMOS :rolleyes

[Dr. V]

:rolleyes

[ItalianStereotype]

someone tell me why the Blood Elves are Horde prz.

[Misdemonar]

to pretty them up.

[ItalianStereotype]

someone tell me why the Blood Elves are Horde prz.

[Guitar Woman]

Because Alliance is for faggots. >:

[ItalianStereotype]

someone tell me why the Blood Elves are Horde prz.

[ziggytrix]

so this was a new expansion, right? anything worthwhile in it, and how much did it cost, 20 bucks?

[CaptainBubba]

Blood Elves are horde because they allied with the naga and illidan and are no longer trusted by the alliance because of their dangerous lust for magic.

This is not the expansion and costed nothing extra.

[ziggytrix]

ok, so i had to read up to figure out what this recent patch biz was all about. did the queue changes fix everything i hated about the BGs, or are there still shitty 1 hour or longer waits to get into team-based pvp?

[AChimp]

The long queues were only because people on both sides weren't signing up. They've lowered the starting number threshold, though, so games will start much quicker. Also, it definitely helps to be Horde on most servers if you want to play BGs.

Arathi Basin are the fastest and always seems to have lots of people playing in them. Once you're level 60, that is. Lowbie PvP blows. :(

I haven't waited longer than 5 minutes for an AB match. Usually it tells me I can enter in about 10 seconds.

[ItalianStereotype]

see, I played Frozen Throne and all, but I still don't see how the Blood Elves are Horde. being not Alliance doesn't make one the Horde.

or does it in WoW?

if it does, I'll have lost any interest in playing it at all.

[bigtimecow]

we should be able to be darkmoon faeries :love

[CaptainBubba]

The Horde is an alliance of convenience for all but the orcs, tauren, and trolls who are in truth allies. The Undead and Blood Elves hope to get mutual benifit from their alliance with the Horde but have no true allegiance to their allies.

Its not that hard to understand and fits fine with WC3 Lore. Factions and races re-alligned all the time in the game and alliances were formed for what people saw as their joint interests, so why would it not happen now?

Pretty much every dungeon with humanoids is a good example of Not Alliance but also Not Horde.

[Chojin]

What side are omni-tek and the clans on, though?

[Dr. V]

The Blood Elves and The Forsaken also have a big thing in common, hatred for the scourge.

where is any of that in the story? where I left off, Arthas had merged with Ner'zhul and became the new Lich King, leaving him in effective control of Lordaeron, Azeroth, and the like. now, why would he ally himself with the Horde in far off Kalimdor? and the Blood Elves I might understand, since Illidan lost to Arthas, but why the Horde? why not return to the Alliance. Blizzard has just become lazy.

[eggyolk]

most people assume its because the horde doesnt really have a "pretty" race. heard the alliance might be getting drenai

[AChimp]

Arthas is most certainly not allied with the Horde. The blood elves hate the Alliance now for not putting enough effort into defending Quel'Thalas.

You're forgetting that WoW takes place like 5 years after Frozen Throne, so lots of shit happens in between. Plus, it's Blizzard's game and they can do what they want. If you're going to get all fired up about blood elves being part of the Horde, then there's a million smaller things about the game that will also piss you off.

[ziggytrix]

What side are omni-tek and the clans on, though?

OMG AO! :eek

[James]

I'm still not playing this game. :(

However, I have a speculated return date of June 2006. Hopefully, my library of games will be mostly filled with beaten games, as opposed to still-in-shrinkwrap-or-opened-but-I'm-just-kidding-myself games.

I hate all the stuff I'm missing out on, though. Halloween and Christmas really bummed me out, because those are some kicking rad events. :(

[DamnthatDavid]

Edit: From the WoW Site

Thousands of years ago, the exiled Highborne landed on the shores of Lordaeron and founded the enchanted kingdom of Quel'Thalas. These high elves, as they called themselves, created a fount of vast, magical energies within the heart of their land - the Sunwell. Over time, they grew dependant on the Sunwell's unstable energies - regardless of the bitter lessons they'd learned in ages past.

During the Third War, the villainous Prince Arthas invaded Quel'Thalas and reduced the once-mighty realm to rubble and ashes. His undead army decimated nearly ninety percent of the high elven population. In addition, he used the Sunwell's energies to resurrect Kel'thuzad - a powerful undead Lich - thereby fouling the Sunwell's mystical waters. The few elven survivors, realizing that they had been cut off from the source of their arcane power, grew increasingly volatile and desperate.

In the midst of the elves' darkest hour came Kael'thas Sunstrider - the last of Quel'Thalas' royal bloodline. Kael, as he was commonly known, knew that the remnant of his people would not long survive without the nourishing magics that once empowered them. Renaming his people blood elves, in honor of their fallen countrymen, he taught them how to tap into ambient mystical energies - even demonic energies - in order to sate their terrible thirst for magic. In search of a new destiny for his people, Kael'thas ventured to the remote world of Outland where he encountered the fallen night elf, Illidan. Under Illidan's tutelage, Kael and his blood elves have regained much of their former power.

Unfortunately, the blood elves' practice of embracing demonic energies resulted in them being shunned by their former comrades in the Alliance. Thus, the remaining blood elves on Azeroth look desperately to the Horde to help them reach Outland, where they can reunite with Kael'thas and achieve the golden destiny he promised them.

[Carnivore]

Arthas is not allied with the Horde. Sylvanas and The Forsaken are. Remember they regain their free will and rebel before Arthas reaches The Frozen Throne. It's a flimsy affiliation, just like the Blood Elves' affiliation with the Horde will be.

Downed Broodlord Lashlayer tonight. Paladin loot drought in progress, sadly :(

[AChimp]

Congrats on the Broodlord. :rave

Shaman epics never seem to drop either. It's pissing a lot of people off in my guild.

I'm still level 46, still tried to raid Omen though, had 50 allis there, Omen is a hard fucker.

[DamnthatDavid]

My Alt is progressing nicely, I'm at 29. Going to get 31ish Today.

Makatiel is Offically dead to me as a playing charachter. Stupid weak ass hunter :( I'll use him as money support for my Alts.

[CaptainBubba]

omen is super easy if you know the trick.

Moonlight hurts him :O

[the_dudefather]

got my Orc Warrior to lv40 today and got a riding wolf :))

im going to get my blacksmithing up for a while now, its about 220 at the moment and i can make some plate stuff but i want to try to keep it as high as possible (its fun being able to make stuff you cant wear for a few levels :)

[xbxDaniel]

My friend's a lvl 10 drawf warrior and made 4 gold this weekend in the auction house from his leather stuff.

[bigtimecow]

goodbye mockery :( very sad

me and my friends are starting up BigTimeGuild :lol

it probably won't do very much. but if you guys want in you're welcome

[Vexation]

and this is the so reason why so many guilds get started.
Everyone wants to create their own guild. A week later upon creation, they grow stagnant, and cease in guild activities.

QED, Mockery. We created a guild that was born from the very idea of the Website. Yet, with only half of the WoW/Mock-board players being on the same server, the idea of the Guild Mockery Died.

If we created a guild with Frassk's idea of "Basement Empire" we have the humor of the name, and the sterotype of the WoW gamers playing, it would of been a bigger sucess then Mockery.

[ziggytrix]

the point wasn't to have an uber successful guild full of random gamers.

or it wasn't for me, anyway.

[AChimp]

I dunno who changed the guild message, but I don't have any intention of disbanding Mockery. You can park your alt there, and stuff. Mockery just didn't have enough people to do any serious attempts at the high level stuff.

BTW, Razorgore down. :O

[Chojin]

We could have some real fun if you fags would play cov

[EisigerBiskuit]

But I reactivated WoW, even though I don't know why, so I'm going to wait out the 30 days and then cancle it again.

-$15

[bigtimecow]

the only reason im starting my own clan is just so i can chat with my friends easier. not having to whisper all of them.

and i don't care if it's successsful or not. you guys worry about too much shit

[ziggytrix]

that's the only non-queer reason to be in a guild, BTB

[AChimp]

Inter-guild conversations are facilitated by the ability to make your own chat channels. :posh

/join mockery

[bigtimecow]

oh shit, i forgot about making your own chat channels :lol

i might as well just join back with mockery then, 'cause one of my friends is still in it.

i'll jsut have invite me.

sorry :(

[Vexation]

No, it wasn't the point to have a success full guild, but to have a guild. Many times I have played and not seen a single living soul but Herbie's alt as he drops on from time to time. >:

Pissed me off it did.

Our mighty hero poses for a photo!

[Matt Harty]

did you guys hear about city of villains i heard its awesome

[the_dudefather]

its ok, but the whole time i was wanting to play WoW (i barely got a few hours out of COH because of that)

[Carnivore]

I heard WoW puts all the competition to shame, CoV and CoH included.

We're up to killing Flamegor now. Having a lot of trouble with that one for some reason, though :/

[ziggytrix]

And I heard you just L:loveVE Creed...

Actually a lot of MMOs have features or functionality that put the similar aspects of WoW to shame. Not that there aren't some things WoW did better than other MMOs.

The auction house is awesome. The mailboxes and banking are great. The crafting system, while on the whole not very essential, does have some very nice features. The destructive effect of patches on UIs if horrible.

The graphics are nice, if a bit cutesy, but other MMOs excell in graphics as well. The arena PvP for low level characters was abysmal back when I cancelled. The high-end content is very epic-raid oriented and the PvP bits almost felt like an afterthought (this is a second hand opinion from another MMO gamer who rocketed to 60 on multiple characters and cancelled long before I did - and really, if you're a fan of Everquest, then this is great. If your a fan of more PvP oriented MMOs this is terrible).

The sheer volume of servers makes it very difficult to play on the same sever as all of your friends, which is probably my biggest complaint. I've friends who play on 3 different servers, and I suppose I could try to play on all three or just pick which friends I like gaming with the most. But that's pretty shitty.

[the_dudefather]

i love WoWs cartoony style, its very much like WCIII (except a bit LESS cartoony :P)

most other MMORPGS tend to look realistic, and trolls and orcs and such dont look cool with a realistic style

[AChimp]

5.5 million players makes it quite necessary to have as many servers as possible. In fact, I think they should add more. Other MMORPGs actually have to combine servers because they lack the number of players to support them. They finally locked Laughing Skull for new characters.

And everyone I know IRL who quit WoW for some other MMORPG (Guild Wars, CoV) have all come back to WoW saying that the other game sucks.

[Matt Harty]

that's because there's not enough heavy petting and "OMGWOFFLES OWNED KTHX" talk and horrible role playing as there probably is in WoW.

[Matt Harty]

that being said sooner or later i'm probably going to try wow :(

[DamnthatDavid]

WoW PVP has really been improved upon from the time you played Zigg.

[Dr. V]

To be honest, I'm beginning to hate testiment. I'm always looking for ppl to run BRD or LBRS and I all get is ppl yacking about the next raid or winning in AB. Yes I understand that raids are the primary concern, but when your guildmates flat out refuse to help, well it sucks. I'm thinking of moving on.

[DamnthatDavid]

To be honest, I'm beginning to hate testiment

Same. For those of us who didn't get uber powerful in 5 minutes (frassk) it kinda not fun. I know a couple of Testament people who feel the same way. Forgot his name, but I was PVPing around Hillsbrad with a mage who didn't have the Ony key also. And no one in Testament wanted to do a run to help us out.

[bigtimecow]

IM BACK IN MOCKERY! :LOVE

THANK YOU PHANDETH (WHOEVER YOU ARE ON THE BOARDS :LOVE)

[Misdemonar]

Say, is mockery alliance?

[AChimp]

Hell no. Mockery is a Horde guild, because Horde is the only non-gay way to play WoW. >:

[DamnthatDavid]

fucking insulting he is. Ban him.

[Misdemonar]

No, I play horde. What server? I'm on Mal'Ganis.

[DamnthatDavid]

Ban Him for being to lazy to go a page back to find out. >:

[bigtimecow]

i thought misdemonar was a girl :-x

but don't ban no niggas 'cause he/she is just uninformed and mockery is a very welcoming guild so come on in :D

(if i was still a pirate i'd invite you when you came in (if you came on) but i left cause im a noob and now im back to swab :( )

[DamnthatDavid]

I'll rank you up like a motha'fucker next time I see you on.

[Dr. V]

You're never on.

[DamnthatDavid]

Well, going to the Coast this weekend. And I'm on in the Mornings. Right after I get off work.

[AChimp]

Most of the main DA people have put their Horde characters on hold and are playing Alliance on Hakkar now. You can contact Baffs, Thunderinbow or Wildean for invites... just say who you were in DA.

[DamnthatDavid]

They also tired of PVP with Testament?

[Carnivore]

Firemaw, Ebonroc, and Flamegor downed tonight. AQ gates going to open soon on my server. Good times.

[bigtimecow]

carni, you're the man

[Marine]

And i blame all of you! >:

[bigtimecow]

coming soon!

BTC's wonderful SM Cath run!

(seriously guys, cath fucking owns)

[Dr. V]

You guys need to start running instances on days I don't work. Or stay up later so I can go when I get home.

[DamnthatDavid]

My Troll Shammie is becoming all powerful! OBEY THE TROLL NATION!

[AChimp]

GET YOUR SPELLS IN YOUR LIPS

[AChimp]

PVE SERVER :rolleyes

AQ is supposed to be opening in the next couple of days on Laughing Skull. The guild that has the sceptre says they're gonna do it at like 3am to avoid the crash that happens on every server when this event has occurred.

Kinda lame of Blizzard to initiate events like this and not be able to back it up with the required hardware. Good screenshots, tho, becuase I'll probably be missing our opening... :tear

[DamnthatDavid]

same... :(

Edit: Alliance guild has it eh?

[AChimp]

Banana Boyz got the sceptre, and they're Horde. :O

[Dr. V]

So was anyone at the opening? I was prolly making out with my woman as it happened so I must be filled in on the details.

[bigtimecow]

this is now the best page of this thread. and its only 4 replies long (now 5)

Dear God, that is the funniest shit I have read in awhile.

Do something like that on a RP server though.

[AChimp]

They were getting all pissy on Chromaggus anyways. Bunch of serious homos. >:

Anyways, I got my Felheart Robes today :D

http://members.shaw.ca/achimp/wow_felheart.jpg
Here's an update of what I look like now.

And I think this is one of the coolest screenshots I've ever taken. :tear

http://members.shaw.ca/achimp/wow_rag.jpg

[EisigerBiskuit]

Any shot of that thing on good settings is always good. Unfortunantly, you and that other guy are the only ones with good settings.

[DamnthatDavid]

In raid events/instances I set my settings higher. In PVP/City I set them lower. I just need more ram. My computer is running great, but on 512 ram. It like taking off the left boobie of a hot chick. :(
But I also need a DVD burner to clear out all my pirated shiza.

[the_dudefather]

get a gig, its a pain in the arse getting through populated areas without it

[DamnthatDavid]

I know I need a Gig, and Battlefield 2 is chugging also :(
Tax rebate is about 700 bucks, so I might go on a buy some stuff.

Edit: NEW PATCH!!!

This looks awesome!

Quest Experience to Gold Conversion at Level 60

Previously, quest experience was wasted if one completed a quest at level 60. In this patch, any quests done at maximum level will have their experience reward converted to a healthy amount of gold, thus adding additional incentive to completing those quests in your log once you hit 60.

[Dr. V]

I finally quit testament. And it felt great. I'm gonan go find a guild that wont boot me from the middle of AQ because I failed to get vent to connect.

[DamnthatDavid]

Mak left it also.

Frassk, your group is full of assholes. I miss DA. :(

[ziggytrix]

That's why I prefer playing MMOs with friends instead of random jerks I've never met.

[CaptainBubba]

I quit my 4th guild so far yesterday because on my first MC run with them they wiped 8 times before and during luci. They have done this for the past 4 weeks. Then we tried the bat bitch at ZG and wiped 3 times. When I explained that we kept wiping because the MT was not circling around the circle to run from the Fire DOT they just ignored me and went "well we'll get here next time right guys!".

Then when I quit I got flooded with tells from their officers going "WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM MAN YOU'RE IMMATURE MOTHERFUCKER".

I fucking hate being alliance but i dont want to level up again. takes me so long. : /

[the_dudefather]

started a rouge in the test server, you get a full shadowcraft set, decent weapons and loads of bandages, equipment, cash and an epic mount. i havent played rouge much so most of the abilities were unknown to me

its very much like buying a character off ebay really :P

[Dr. V]

When I click on the link to follow instructions to download blah blah blah it just sends me to a page with a retarded peon. What did you do dude?

[eggyolk]

just renewed my subscription today. maybe this 60 days i can finally hit 60.. :(

[the_dudefather]

When I click on the link to follow instructions to download blah blah blah it just sends me to a page with a retarded peon. What did you do dude?

might be different from the euro version but i just clicked the link on the wow homepage, 'copied' a character and downloaded the test client

[AChimp]

Big guilds get pretty anal about some things, mostly because they don't want to waste time in order to get as much done as possible. You just gotta stop caring and go with it if you want mad epics. :(

[ziggytrix]

that doesn't sound very....


what's the word?


fun.

[DamnthatDavid]

hence the reason I left Testament.

[AChimp]

LOL :(

The fun comes from the stuff that you do outside of raids. 40 man raids are necessary to get epic gear, hence having to put up with it if you want those items.

If you're an asshole back, it all evens out.

[bigtimecow]

i haven't played in a week :(

[ziggytrix]

i have played all week.

but not on Mal'Ganis, because i rolled up on a server with some RL friends. :(
