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

[HickMan]

So chimp, is everyone still on Laughing Skull? If so, I wouldn't mind joining the guild again! I'm a 23 Tauren warrior named Walkertexas.

[DamnthatDavid]

The Mockery Guild is dead.

Chimp is part of Testament. A one time (perhaps no longer) anal guild full of assholes. But I guess they left.

[Carnivore]

I want to make Chimp feel badly, so I'll give an account of my WoW happenings :gigh

My guild is large enough to run guild-only 20-man raids and our raid alliance has been rejecting new applicants in droves because we just don't have room.

We've had BWL on farm for coming up on two months now. I've been sitting at 7/8 Judgement and just waiting for a belt that is seemingly never going to drop :/

We're four bosses deep in AQ. Although I'd rather skip it and go to Naxx, I'm outvoted among the raid leadership.

Perhaps I'll toss some screens up later.

[AChimp]

I can toss you an invite to Mockery, Hickman, but if you want to be in a guild that actually does stuff, you'll probably want to look elsewhere. There's a lot of good lowbie guilds.

We're still anal in Testament, but only because we want to get shit done so that we can go do the other fun things. The new leadership is much nicer about it, although we did gkick a guy last night for constantly spamming guild chat. Then a couple of his friends left, but I had never heard of them anyways.

Congratulations on the AQ40 progress, Carni! We should be starting in there some time this week. Skeram should be dead easy... with the old guild structure full of assholes, we had him down to 25% with only 31 people in the raid. Now we have over 200 people in the guild and 20-man waitlists to get into MC/BWL, so we can afford to be picky with who we invite and stack the raid for success :conspiracy

Last night we started BWL, expecting to only get up to Broodlord before calling it and going back later in the week. As it turns out, we one-shotted each boss all the way up to Chromaggus (for the first time ever) with only one wipe at the start of the suppression rooms.

Got myself one of these last night, too: http://www.thottbot.com/?i=44692 :)

From what I've read, if you guys can farm BWL, you should be able to take down the first handful of bosses in Naxx. I don't think AQ is worth skipping, though. I want to farm some rep in there so I can get the epic cooking recipe!

[Carnivore]

I happened upon this old screen from last September. Anyone who has been to Maraudon will recognize it.

For long have the centaur denizens of Kalimdor worshipped the cock!

And one I took while bored the other day.

http://home.comcast.net/~jdr917/Fire.jpg
I finally lit a fart! AMAZING!

[EisigerBiskuit]

Even in death you cannot escape the wrath of cock

[Carnivore]

Blood Elf paladins and Draenei shamans... FUCKING LAME!

That is all.

[EisigerBiskuit]

Mounting on water. Good enough for me.

[Immortal Goat]

Oh for Christ's sake, don't tell me we're going to have to put up with a bunch of pussy whiny babies here, too, over the Blood Elf Paladins and the Draenei Shamans. Here's a clue for you: It MAKES SENSE!

The Draenei were friendly with the Orcs before they went crazy, and the Orcs were predominantly Shamanistic. There we go.

As for the Blood Elf paladins, think of this: Being a paladin is a source of magic. Blood Elves are ADDICTED to magic. Blood Elves were ALSO once members of the Alliance. Would a race that is totally addicted to magic suddenly abandon one of their sources of the stuff just because they switched sides? No, they wouldn't.

Stop whining.

[EisigerBiskuit]

Now the game is like Red Team vs Blue Team, instead of Red Team vs Pink Team. Hopefully people will still get over racial abilities.

[AChimp]

Now all the Horde guilds that learned to raid the hard way will start kicking major ass because we get easy mode :)

[DamnthatDavid]

OH GOD... OH GOD... I hate fighting shamans, even when I am a Shaman. :( I was working on a Alt mage yesterday, and was thinking how much it would suck going up against a Shaman. Then I sighed and thanked Ge'Odee that the alliance didn't have shamans... I JINXED IT.

[executioneer]

Stop whining.

i thought whining about stuff was the point of mmorpgs :lol

[the_dudefather]

im looking forward to seeing how paladins and shamans will work togather in a group, totem buffs + auras + blessings = ftw!

[DeadKennedys]

http://www.theallianceherald.co.uk/?section=article&paper=0&issue=12&page=5

Wth?

So, if the Draenei were friends with orcs why aren't they allied with them now? Must have had an argument aboard their interstellar spaceship. Lore rofl :lol

[Immortal Goat]

The orcs turned on them when they went mad, and the demons started taking over.

[Carnivore]

Any originality each faction has will soon be gone. Working around not having that one class made raids far more interesting. If anything, they should've added a new faction-only class to each side.

[Immortal Goat]

No originality? Hell, racial abilities alone make the factions different enough make raids interesting.

Would I have liked to see 2 new classes? You bet your ass I would. Still, BC isn't going to be the only expansion they release, and I'm willing to bet that they're planning something big for the next one.

And I hope that you, Carnivore, aren't one of those Lore fags whining about how it messes with the story, because that would be sad.

[EisigerBiskuit]

What happened to fucking Bloodmages or whatever?

[DamnthatDavid]

I'm still holding my breath for Hero Classes at lvl 70.

[Immortal Goat]

Blood Knights? That's what the Blood Elf Paladins call themselves, so they aren't true Paladins, they just have all their abilities. But the lore that they put on the main site even suggests that there will be a downside to it.

[Dr. V]

I'm sorry but this is just Blizzards quick fix for the nerf shams whiners. But at least now we can piss off all the alliance by shield hearthing. See how they like it! (I am so making a pally)

[Carnivore]

http://home.comcast.net/~thorandor/Judgement.jpg
That's 8/8 Judgement, bitches. Lift up my skirt and :blowme

I do enjoy WarCraft lore. There are very few things within it that I consider sacred. I do get pissed when stuff gets rewritten. For example, compare http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/chapter1.html#2 to http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/burningcrusade/townhall/draenei.html and tell me that's not inconsistent.

The backstories for the Blood Elf paladins and Draenei shamans don't fall under this category, however. They're fine.

Racial abilities provide little, if any, variety. What I'd love to see more than anything is one unique class for every race. Having all classes available to both Horde and Alliance removes any real distinction between the two sides. Now players will only need to consider esthetics when choosing between Horde or Alliance.

[EisigerBiskuit]

It was like Spelleaters or some shit, had some weird claws and blah.

[Carnivore]

Do you mean Spell Breakers?

http://www.battle.net/war3/images/human/units/animations/spellbreaker.gif

[Immortal Goat]

The thing is, though, there's a lot of people that already DO only choose sides because of aesthetics. Since the vast majority of the classes up until now were the same, I would say that MOST choose sides due to aesthetics. I chose a Night Elf druid simply because I like elves. My brother chose a Tauren because they don't sound like pansies like the Night Elves do (in his opinion).

Aesthetics already play a big part in character selection, so this won't change much at all.

I do have to agree with you about having liked to see two new classes, but this isn't the "game killer" that a lot of people claim it is.

[DeadKennedys]

A unique class would really add some variety. I think it's a bad idea to add a shaman to alliance and whatever to the horde.

Spellbreakers would be an awesome class. A primarily fighter class with the ability to burn opponents mana, silence them, and steal their spells and buffs. Could hold its own in melee no doubt, but no ranged weapons cause of the big shield

[Carnivore]

Definitely not a game killer. Hell, I might even level a shaman. The decision is made and I'm not going to be a whiny bitch about. I just think they could've done better, that's all.

[DamnthatDavid]

Personally, I agree with Carni on the whole race class type, but that would be bloody hard to pull off. So why not just modify it for the entire alliance/horde conflict. But give them the option of going "Hero" class. Make it easy to get, but explain that it takes more skill, and more time to use. Levels 64-70 would be the hero exp levels (if you choose) and you level 6x slower.

Horde War: Blademaster
Alliance War: Knight

Horde Warlock: Necromancer
Alliance Warlock: Whatever

Horde Pally: Spellbreaker or Deathknight
Alliance Pally: Champion
etc. etc.

And finally give those blasted Druids the ability to turn into birds. Let them get the bonus of not having to purchase a flying mount.

[Gurlugon]

I got to main tank Onyxia today, and I got my Legplates of Wrath as well to bring me up to 3/8 Wrath and 3/8 Might equipped. Tanking is the fun.

[AChimp]

The first end game Horde guilds to have level 60 paladins (and Alliance guilds with level 60 shamans) will be at a huge advantage for raiding. There are so many encounters where having just one of the other class helps a lot.

I might even level a paladin. I'll make a hot BE chick and call her Frasskette. ;)

Regarding hero classes, I think Blizzard already stated that they've abandoned that idea in favour of giving each class a few really good crazy 70 abilities.

[DamnthatDavid]

sad on the hero classes :(

[ItalianStereotype]

kay, so, I made a new character on laughing skull. I'm a troll priest named potemkin. someone give me some bags.

[Shifty]

make one on archimonde!

[ItalianStereotype]

noooo

my poor tauren main dealy deal already doesn't get enough attention

[Shifty]

i can make you bags, and get a 60 lock to run you through the instances! he ran me through.

[Misdemonar]

I made a Pirest on Laughing SKull, his name is Serosaunt..:(

[AChimp]

NEFARIAN!

http://members.shaw.ca/achimp/wow_nefarion1.jpg

[AChimp]

Oh shit! The very next attempt after I posted that picture we killed Nefarian for the first time :O

Look at the new staff I'm sporting :O

http://members.shaw.ca/achimp/wow_staff1.jpg

Quite the upgrade from what I had over a year ago.

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

[Carnivore]

Congrats on killing Big Brother, Chimp. Since our first kill (5/16/06), we've seen SEVEN Judgement chests and ZERO Stormrage or Nemesis. The numbers for the other classes are pretty low too. This is after having only three Judgement legs since our first Rag kill on 11/29/05! We're currently working on Twin Emps in AQT. I'll grab some screens from our next raid there.

[AChimp]

Thanks! :)

We were having problems with the same loot dropping over and over again. In MC, all we were getting was Felheart/Cenarion over and over again with some Nightslayer thrown in. BWL kept dropping the same stuff, too.

We decided to change the person who starts the raids each week, and the loot we get is completely different now. Seeing some completely new drops and a lot more loot. I started last week's MC raid and set a guild record with 12 BoE's and over 20 cores.

I know Blizzard has said that the loot table has nothing to do with the raid leader, but the fact that we went for weeks with the same loot, and then suddenly get different loot the week we change raid leader seems to be more than a coincidence! You should try rotating the leader and the master looter, just to see what happens.

[ziggytrix]

Regarding hero classes, I think Blizzard already stated that they've abandoned that idea in favour of giving each class a few really good crazy 70 abilities.

This was posted on our guild board as rumor, but I have a big ole wall of text regarding hero classes, that I honestly hope is nothing more than a rumor.


as quoted from a buddies site...


Sources inside Blizz have revealed their plans for hero classes. Blizzard does plan to release hero classes with the expansion, but they haven't explicitly stated it because they want to announce it close to the release date, insuring a huge amount of hype. I haven't been told much more than the basics, but I'll try to explain the system as best as I can:

At any given level there is a certain amount of content; at level 60, the amount of content is very disproportionate with the available content for other levels. The reason is obvious: it is the current endgame, and players need something to enjoy. However, with the level cap raised players would be able to blow through and skip a lot of the content that has been developed over the past year, and allowing players to do so would be a poor use of the developers' time. This is where hero classes come in.

You will be stuck at level 60, just like you are now, even when the expansion comes out. An epic quest (of REALLY epic proportions) for each hero class will be made available to level 60 players. The only way to break the level 60 barrier will be to go on one of these quests to become a hero class. The quest will require the player to do a lot of solo content as well as a variety of group and raid content. Upon completion of the quest, the player will become a level 61 hero class . They can then once again begin their normal level progression. A hero class is not innately more powerful than a normal class (but the level differentiation makes them more powerful of course). Hero classes will be available to everyone and although the hardcore players will naturally get their hero classes first, it is designed so that players of all play styles will be able to become a hero class in a reasonable amount of time. Blizzard's implementation of hero classes will accomplish a lot of things. It will create a natural barrier at level 60 that will insure that the average player will experience more of the content Blizz has developed, it gives players a way of further differentiating themselves, and it adds a huge amount of new dynamics between different classes.

Each race/class combination will have 2 hero classes available to them (with several overlapping). This presents a monumental balance job (there are about 50 hero classes), which is probably another reason why Blizzard is delaying the information release. Choosing your hero class will be irreversible, much like the tradeskill masteries. Some hero classes are an extension of the "father" class, some have tweaked mechanics, while others are radically different. The easiest example I can think of is a Night Elf priest, for which the 2 hero classes are a Priest(ess) of the Moon (a continuation of the priest's current form) and Demon Hunter (an agility-based combat hero with a variety of discipline-esque abilities).

So without further ado, here is a brief overview of some of the hero classes:

Druids

Night Elf Druid
Arch Druid: This will be a hybrid class in the same vein as its "father" class, and Storm Crow form may make a reappearance.

Keeper of the Grove: The druid will sacrifice some of his shapeshifting abilities in exchange for improved healing and casting, and will even be able to command treants on occasion.

Tauren Druid
Arch Druid: see above

Elder: This is essentially a druid that has lost some shapeshifting abilities and gained some beast-like abilities similar to the hunter. The casting and healing abilities are also amped up, but not nearly as much as the Keeper of the Grove. The Elder also has a bit of the Diablo II druid mixed in for good measure.
Hunters

Night Elf Hunter
Ranger: The Ranger is sort of a hunter/rogue mix. The Ranger will use the energy bar, will have a few stealthy abilities (but not of the same caliber as the rogue), and will no longer have a pet.

Beastmaster: The Beastmaster focuses more on the beast aspect than the ranged aspect of the hunter. He gains new beast abilities, such as switching pets in battle, and is a bit meaner in melee combat in exchange for a lot of his ranged hitting power.

Dwarf Hunter:
Mountaineer: The Mountaineer is similar to the ranger (no pet, energy bar), but without the stealth aspects. The Mountaineer is hardier in melee combat than the hunter and and also has more extensive tracking and detection abilities.

Beastmaster: see above

Orc Hunter:
Outrider: The Outrider is very similar to the wolfrider from Warcraft III, focusing on swift maneuvers and incapacitating enemies. He uses the energy bar.

Beastmaster: see above

Tauren Hunter:
Tracker: The Tracker uses the energy bar like the Mountaineer, but still retains the hunter pet, and as a result is not as tough as the Mountaineer.

Beastmaster: see above

Troll Hunter:
Shadowhunter: This is essentially a hunter that drops some of it's beast and survival abilities for some shadow spells (think Hex). The Shadowhunter still uses mana.

Headhunter: The Headhunter still has the ranged emphasis of the hunter, but it focuses on throwing weapons (a massive revamp for throwing weapons is planned). The Headhunter uses energy, has more combat abilities, and drops the pet.
Mages

Human Mage:
Archmage: The Archmage is an exact extension of the mage class, with arcane, fire, and frost spells. Apparently one of the abilities being toyed around with is Summon Water Elemental. The planned incarnation of the spell will be a long-cooldown summon that will not function like a normal pet, and will instead function more along the lines of the Mechanical Yeti (no player control).

Necromancer: The only similarity between the Necromancer and the mage is the emphasis on magical damage. The necromancer uses shadow damage and has a major focus on pets, similar to the warlock. However, unlike other pet classes, the majority of the Necromancer's damage will come from the pet instead of the Necromancer. I do not know if the Necromancer will be able to have multiple pets out at once.

Gnome Mage:
Archmage: see above

Arcanist: The Arcanist is similar to the mage, with a focus on arcane magic. The Arcanist does slightly less damage than the Archmage, but gains added utility and new support spells.

Undead Mage:
Archmage: see above

Necromancer: see above

Troll Mage:
Hydromancer: The Hydromancer is similar to the Arcanist, but with a focus on the frost tree. The Hydromancer may also receive the Summon Water Elemental spell. In addition to added utility and support spells, the Hydromancer will also get some limited healing abilities.

Shadowcaster: The Shadowcaster is essentially a mage that uses shadow magic instead of fire and frost.
Paladins

Human Paladin:
Templar: The Templar is the holy warrior that so many paladins wanted their class to be. The Templar has limited healing, but receives a slew of new combat abilities, making the Templar much better at tanking and melee damage than the paladin.

Cleric: The Cleric is the other side of the paladin spectrum. Instead gaining new combat abilities, the Cleric gains improved healing, more utility and support, and some holy damage spells.

Dwarf Paladin:
Templar: see above

Cleric: see above
Priests

Human Priest:
High Priest: The High Priest is essentially a priest that drops the shadow tree, but gains new damage spells from holy and discipline. The High Priest will be the most powerful healer in the game.

Spellbreaker: The Spellbreaker wears mail, has several combat abilities and diminished healing, and has several anti-caster abilities.

Dwarf Priest:
Thane: The Thane is basically a priest in mail, with a slight hit to healing abilities but a few new combat abilities.

Runelord: The Runelord is similar to the High Priest, although not as healing heavy.

Night Elf Priest:
Priest of the Moon: The Priest of the Moon is similar to the High Priest as well, but has some extra damage and utility spells coming from arcane and nature magics.

Demon Hunter: The Demon Hunter is radically different in playstyle from the priest. The Demon Hunter is a mana-using melee damage hero class. The Demon Hunter has a mix of discipline spells and combat abilities with some shadow spells mixed in.

Undead Priest:
High Priest: see above

Shadow Priest: The name is pretty self-explanatory. The Shadow Priest does not have all the healing abilities of the High Priest, but makes several gains in the damage, utility, and crowd control departments.

Troll Priest:
Shadow Priest: see above

?:
Rogues

Gnome Rogue:
Assassin: The Assassin is an extension of the rogue with damage, stealth, poisons, and martial arts.

Scout: The Scout has slightly less damage than the Assassin, but is tougher in combat, and has the ability to use traps among other new utilities.

Human Rogue:
Assassin: see above

Scout: see above

Dwarf Rogue:
Assassin: see above

Pitfighter: The Pitfighter is a rogue without stealth, but with improved combat and defensive abilities.

Night Elf Rogue:
Assassin: see above

Scout: see above

Orc Rogue:
Assassin: see above

Pitfighter: see above

Undead Rogue:
Assassin: see above

Scout: see above

Troll Rogue:
Assassin: see above

Scout: see above
Shamans

Orc Shaman:
Farseer: The Farseer has more emphasis on healing and casting than the shaman, and as a result has less combat ability. The Farseer doesn't use totems but gains it utility from other abilities. Feral Spirit might make an appearance using a system similar to the Water Elemental.

Spirit Walker: The Spirit Walker is a more direct extension of the shaman than the Farseer, maintaining a rough balance of combat, casting, and healing ability.

Tauren Shaman:
Farseer: see above

Spirit Walker: see above

Troll Shaman:
Witch Doctor: The Witch Doctor is similar to the Farseer, but has a heavy emphasis on totems. In addition to the elemental magics the Witch Doctor also uses some shadow magic.

Spirit Walker: see above
Warlocks

Human Warlock:
Master Warlock: The Master Warlock is an extension of the warlock class, keeping the pet and the vast majority of the warlock mechanics.

Shadowguard: The Shadowguard has more melee emphasis than the warlock, and loses the demonic pet. The Shadowguard on his own is weaker than other melee classes, but is aided by demonic-type abilities (such as burning blood and fiery breath) to power himself up.

Gnome Warlock:
Master Warlock: see above

Shadowguard: see above

Orc Warlock:
Master Warlock: see above

Shadowguard: see above

Undead Warlock:
Master Warlock: see above

Shadowguard: see above
Warriors

Blizz hasn't fleshed out warrior hero classes as much as the others, so I wasn't able to get much on them. However, it has been confirmed that Orc warriors do have the option to become a Blademaster!

Question marks (?) denote a hero class that hasn't been decided on by the developers yet. I don't know the Blood Elf hero classes. I don't know the new Alliance race (although I hear they're going to reveal it soon). I have no idea how talent/abilities are going to work, I don't know what will happen to armor requirements and class specific sets, etc. Everything I know I've posted here, and it is subject to change as it is still in fairly early development stages.

See, I like the idea of being able to switch talent specs and a little gear and completely change my class role, and this will screw with that pretty hardcore.

[AChimp]

Shadowguard for warlocks sounds really stupid. I rarely melee something unless it's PvP and I want to humiliate my opponent!

BTW, Sartura and Fankriss down!

[DamnthatDavid]

I think that is a fabrication. Blizzard is still working on more pet things for hunters. Half of the hunter hero classes lose the pet.

If they go hero classes, I still think they will go down the talent tree you have the most points in, and just add more racial abilites that you can learn. (limited ammount, like 10 new for each race. Select only 6, etc etc)

[Carnivore]

Shit, Chimp! You trying to catch up or something? We're currently putting work in on Twin Emps. Not doing all that well on it atm :/ That means we'll probably have it down in two weeks and be working on C'thun :P

[AChimp]

We've made some pretty crazy progress. We've wiped on Sartura for two weeks, and went in on Sunday and one-shot her, then made three attempts on Fankriss before he went down (it was messy, but next week there will be improvements).

The guild's getting pretty popular now. We have like 4-5 applications per day and need to add people to our ignore lists. Stupid thing is it's all rogues and warriors, which we're completely full on.

We'll be making Huhu attempts this week, most likely. I gotta get my SR up, because I think we'll be using the warlock tanking strategy to start with. :eek

[ziggytrix]

Shadowguard for warlocks sounds really stupid. I rarely melee something unless it's PvP and I want to humiliate my opponent!

Half of that stuff sounded gay as hell to me, and later on someone pointed out that the same rumor had been around for months and months, so I think it's just some fan-boy posting his idea as though it were smuggled out of Blizzard's dev office.

But you reminded me of something fun we used to do in DAoC when our caster group ran into someone in a PvP area who just had no business being in the PvP area (in WoW terms, think: a level 40 running around solo in WPL). Someone would call out "staff beatdown!" over teamspeak, and then we would procede to pummel the opponent to death.

[AChimp]

I've graduated to Jedi Master. :)

[Dr. V]

I've finally cancelled my account. Fear not though, I'll be back for the burning crusade. I just need a nice long vacation.

[ziggytrix]

i took a nice long vacation from WoW and played another MMO the entire time :(

[AChimp]

I run around Orgrimmar with my lightsabre out and everyone is like, "OMG where did you get that?!" and so I cut them in half >:

Huhu to 12% last night! Need more heals and I think we can get her.

[Supafly345]

I'm trying this guys what do I do?

[Carnivore]

Patch day. It's a shame that Laughing Skull and Elune aren't in the same battlegroup :/

[AChimp]

Aye, it's a shame. :(

It would have been fun chain fearing you! >:

sandlol

[Misdemonar]

I'm on mal ganis, but I'm horde :(.

[Carnivore]

It would have been fun chain fearing you! >:

I have a lil' trinket specifically for dealing with warlocks.

http://www.thottbot.com/?i=4593

Fear immunity for 30 seconds. Good thing I only need 15 :P

[DamnthatDavid]

Jumping to Lethon server. Friends in real life are on that one.

[AChimp]

Ha! I doubt you could dish out the 7000 damage it takes to kill me in three minutes, never mind 30 seconds. :P

The BGs were going crazy last night. It only took me a couple seconds to get into an AV... Horde was just about to win when the server crashed. Alliance was stupid, though, since they were in the process of pulling our commander when we just started killing the marshals in the Alliance base. They all hearthed back to protect their guy. :/

I think the organized vs. unorganized gap is going to get even bigger now. I've seen messy AVs, but that one was the worst. Everyone was just running around doing their own thing. Any kind of organized offense or defense could have poked holes through the other line. Hopefully it settles down a bit.

I'm looking forward to raking in the free HKs, though. All the noobs from the PvE servers are really, really bad at PvP, despite the gear. I killed a warrior 1v1 in what looked like nearly full Dreadnaught and he barely even touched me. Loads of mages who still use the "run in and arcane explosion once before you die" tactic.

All of the instances on Laughing Skull were broken last night, so raiding was out of the question. We claimed the EPL towers for about 30 minutes yesterday before deciding that sucked, so we killed the stupid Elf Queen. >:

[Misdemonar]

If you see me I'm 55 Warrior name Roanan.

[AChimp]

HAHAHA DIE STUPID ELF QUEEN!

[Shifty]

Achimp you try out necrosis mod?

[AChimp]

I'm running with almost no mods in that screenshot because it was patch day and everything's broken.

Necrosis is that warlock mod, huh? I tried it out long ago but didnt' really like it. I don't really care if I can one-click summon my pets and stuff like that.

[Shifty]

yes it is a lock mod.

I find it usefull being able to have all ur pets easy access and health stone easier to use and easier to trade.


I find it easier, but not all do.



is that a 24 soul shard bag you got there?

[AChimp]

Yeah. I could get the 28-slot one, but I'm too cheap. I need more Onyxia bags, IMO.

[Shifty]

i need more 12 slot bags :'(

[Shifty]

Chimp whats ur spec?

[eggyolk]

i got my computer back, but now the game won't install :( something about "error 38". looked it up and found it's not just my copy of the game, and it's actually a common error when the cds stop reading or some crap. :x

That's my spec.

Carni! Huhu down. ;)

We've decided to screw the Emps for now and move into Naxx. The first 3 bosses are well within reach. Those Anubisath Defenders on the way to the Emps are like a phase 2 Huhu for the entire time. :(

[Misdemonar]

I hate tanking for ubrs, evreything gets blamed on me :(. When just about an hour before. I did it fine, and then my gear gets called shitty and the group falls apart.

[Dr. V]

Tanks get all the blame for other stupid people's actions.

[EisigerBiskuit]

My guilds like, "Yeah we downed rag three times, time for BWL!"
and I'm like, "Yay, you are fucking retarded."

So we're doing it now and we're dying and it's fun and dumb and blah.

Nice spec.

[AChimp]

All four green dragons plus Azuregos down in one night! :)

[Carnivore]

We've done that plus Kazzak. Still not close on the Twin Emperors, but getting better. Are you going to be tanking Vek'lor for your group, Chimp?

[AChimp]

We haven't made any Twin Emps attempts yet, but we put in about an hour of attempts on Viscidus with kinda limited success.

I still need to gather some more SR gear, but we'll probably be using warlocks to tank one of the emps. I have most of the mats already for the crafted gear... just need a few more things. There are a couple other warlocks who have more SR than me, so it may be one of them or a combination.

EDIT: I started on the AQ gate quests... epic cooking recipe!

[AChimp]

Twin Emps to 80%, Razuvious and Anub'Rekhan to 95% each. Stupid bosses need to die. >:

[Dr. V]

They gona play WoW on South Park Wed night.

[eggyolk]

I need to play World of Warcraft!

[AChimp]

OH SHIT, CARNI!

Instructor Razuvious down. :O

[Dire Flamingo]

I just got off Warcrack. :( You guys are making me want to play it again.

[Carnivore]

Well done, Chimp. We're still not touching Naxx, much to my chagrin, and just working on Twin Emps. You may eclipse us, however, as progress has been... lacking.

[AChimp]

Best we've done on the Twin Emps is 80%... we'd like to down them, of course, and we probably will in a few weeks, but the first few bosses in Naxx are much easier. The reward is also higher and T3 gear will help in taking down the Twin Emps.

[eggyolk]

I finnally got my valor boots :D now i need leggings, helm and breastplate

[AChimp]

Anub'Rekhan down. :posh

[the_dudefather]

ill have to get back into this once the expansion comes out

[ItalianStereotype]

speaking of the expansion, here is my planned spec (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/bc-warrior/talents.html?3332502130221002031351050501000000000 00000005000300000000000000000)

good? bad?

[ziggytrix]

it certainly looks like a spec!

now you rate mine (http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/classes/bc-priest/talents.html?5050000130000000000002000000000000000 00000503252010351123051051)

[ItalianStereotype]

having been on the bad end of many a shadow spell, that looks like it'll be pretty nasty ;<

[ziggytrix]

the expansion looks like it's going to be very kind to shadow priests.

i wish i could comment more on your spec, but with the little i know about em, warrior specs to me pretty much look like either Ones That Have Tactical Mastery or Ones That Don't Have Tactical Mastery.

that talent ought to be a standard ability.

[eggyolk]

the only job of a warrior end game is to tank, i wish more people realized that. im protection spec, and i can tank like a beast.

[Ninjavenom]

I just started again on Hellscream with an undead mage. This game is so much more fun when you're not grinding the shit out of an undead warrior or a rogue. I can rape things in the face now, and it's awesome.

[Misdemonar]

is there such thing as roll hacks? this rogue named jipper praticly won evreything in my guild's ZG, and took my tanking sword.

[AChimp]

DPS warriors are actually pretty valuable for a lot of things in BWL and AQ40 because they can dish out the damage and still survive for a while if they pull aggro. A smart DPS warrior will always stay underneath the MT in threat, though, so that shouldn't happen.

As for roll hacks, the rolls are generated and handled by the server so it's impossible to hack them. I'd say he's a shitty rogue for taking a tanking sword, and you should probably find a guild that doesn't use gayness like rolling on loot.

[ItalianStereotype]

the only job of a warrior end game is to tank, i wish more people realized that. im protection spec, and i can tank like a beast.

because god forbid I should want to run any BG. if you like for the game to be boring, which you obviously do, then great for you.

[EisigerBiskuit]

Warriors who want pieces of tier #-# and a shield because they don't have good damage gear need a lobotamy.

[AChimp]

Warriors should get both, IMO.

[eggyolk]

yes yes, you sacrifice your pvp skills but would you rather have a pvp warrior as a main tank for molten core or a protection spec?

[EisigerBiskuit]

I don't know who got this idea, but they thought it would be funny to not allow the tanks to bid on DPS gear and weapons while the others could. It's not like I care though, I heal. Click, numbers, wait.

[AChimp]

Twin Emps to 49% >: >: >:

[DamnthatDavid]

So, the new spec for the hunters look freaking amazing.

+8% mount speed... chase down EVERYTHING now. Wonder if it stacks with carrot and spurs?

And I just sold all the gear and gave it to my shaman and transfered him off the server to another, and let my account run down, and let my computer sit busted up... Well bugger.

[Carnivore]

Twin Emps to 0% so suck my balls, Chimp!

Are you going to start on Naxx now, or is your alliance going to force you to wipe on C'thun for months, too?

[Carnivore]

The latter :(

[Misdemonar]

I finally got some might :D

i was wondering is arthas in the wow game?

[AChimp]

Wrath sucks! Dreadnaught is where it's at.

[EisigerBiskuit]

What is tier 4 again?

[Misdemonar]

Glaidator

[ziggytrix]

ding 60. :P

[Shifty]

gratz, im 6 lvls from 60. and im 40 felcloth from my robe of void. fucking felcloth.

[darkvare]

Also, Glider.

thats lame arthas is the coolest character
anyway does anyone has pics of the statue

[AChimp]

OMG Carni! Faerlina down :O

[Emu]

Burning Crusade got pushed back to January. :lol :lol

[Ninjavenom]

I'm back to hating this game again. Howcome i have to grind to level up? What the fuck, i don't want to play a game to be bored >:O It's why i quit in the first place >:O And fuck running everywhere >:O

[AChimp]

LOL noob

[DeadKennedys]

Burning Crusade got pushed back to January. :lol :lol

Bwahahahaha!

At least y'all have more time to grind, run aimlessly, collect basilisk urethrae, rethink your talent tree, crunch numbers, and raid weeknights with your "friends" before the expansion finally drops. Enjoy!

I guess I'm so bitter toward this game for a few reasons. At first, the game was relatively simple, but as it was expanded, there were more high-end grinding quests, and raiding, and all that junk. That left the casual gamer in the dust, because if he didn't wanna commit 20 hours a week (or certainly more), he had shit for items and the whole world shrunk. Half of the game, the raiding community, pushed the game into an odd tangent. All those voices (speaking in their self created language) with too much spare time cried out for more "end-game" material, without realizing the end-game is a huge time and money sink. pressuring players into insane collection quests to slaver your thirst for those epic items in those epic dungeons, keeping your asses in your chairs and your eyes off your wallets. Meanwhile, the casual gamer is left with a confused "What happened?" And don't even get me started on gold farmers.

I played pretty consistently since release day, and as I brought my human rogue up to level 40, everything was pretty and shiny and a hell of a good time. To really progress past that I had to start hard raiding, and I realized I was wasting hours I coulda been eating, practicing something with real-world value, spending time with friends, or jerking off, I was spending hours working for 0's and 1's with pretty pictures over them. Pretty depressing.

And what's with the universal hardcore gamer model mantra, "work now, fun later?"

I'm also bitter because due to the success of WoW, Vivendi is forcing Blizzard to make, what is it, two more MMO's? I call bullshit.

[Dire Flamingo]

Started playing again and got my Druid to 60. Unfortunately, it was my first character which got stuck on an RP server. The only UBRS raid I could find this weekend was a roleplaying one, which was insanely difficult because people insisted on typing everything out. :/ And I figure by January if I bother to raid she won't completely suck.

[AChimp]

As of today, I know every single alchemy recipe in the game. :)

[EisigerBiskuit]

you forgot one

[DamnthatDavid]

I'm also bitter because due to the success of WoW, Vivendi is forcing Blizzard to make, what is it, two more MMO's? I call bullshit.

Fucking Vivendi... They have Diablo and Starcraft as a base.
SCI-FI series do NOT make good MMORPG, and diablo doesn't have the charachter background. It would just be WoW by another name.

Diablo could me mitigated to a world like the Elder Scrolls style of gaming. But still have the network for group advancement via battlenet.

Starcraft could be crafted into a Plantside style MMOFPS with the 3 sides, but I have no clue how someone would play the Zerg forces. maybe leveling up you can increase a mutation rate and grow new... spikes?

FUCK VIVENDI, let them restart Ghost, and give us back our RTS games.

[EisigerBiskuit]

Now attempting Vael.

Should I join a different guild

[Carnivore]

FUCK VIVENDI, let them restart Ghost, and give us back our RTS games.

Afuckingmen. Ghost and StarCraft 2, please!

[AChimp]

Twin Emps down :O

A Starcraft MMO would suck balls. The mechanics of it just wouldn't work.

And DeadKennedys, you aren't making yourself look good by saying you only got up to level 40 and then the game got "too hard." Warcraft is probably the easiest and most forgiving MMO that's ever been made. Raiding at level 40? Yeah, maybe in a party of 5 people to do a dungeon in a couple hours.

If you want a game with tons of solo content, you shouldn't be playing an MMO. Period.

[DeadKennedys]

I wouldn't say the game got hard at all. It really doesn't require skill in the first place, so it c an't really become difficult, can it?

I'm saying that the end game ramps up not in challenge but in how much time you're willing to devote, forcing you to join hardcore alienating guilds.

At the beginning you could have small, friendly guilds, hang out, and do a few quests with your buds. Now they aren't making more casual (not solo) stuff to do.

Maybe now that they're cutting down the size requirement on dungeons it'll be a little better

[EisigerBiskuit]

People who think like that make the game suffer. It may not be hard, but it isn't Autopilot either.

[AChimp]

You can't play for an hour or two a week (cuz of your oh-so-busy real personal life!) and still expect to be competing at the same level as people in end game raiding guilds.

The expansion isn't going to fix everyone's problems magically. Raiders will be level 70 first. Raiders will still have all the best items, and casuals will still be getting their asses handed to them.

[ziggytrix]

You can't play for an hour or two a week (cuz of your oh-so-busy real personal life!) and still expect to be competing at the same level as people in end game raiding guilds.

End-game-raiding-guilds can suck my cock.

I played several hours most weeknights and God knows how many hours the last two weekends and I can tell I won't be able to "compete" with those cocksuckers unless I keep this routine up indefinitely.

Shit, I better not go home for the holidays. Better not spend a weekend doing anything but playing WoW. Need them DKPs to compete!!!

Actually though, I think I can play this game on my own terms, and "compete" with end-game raider faggots just fine. The expansion is going to obsolesce every thing in game right now, and if you don't believe that, then you don't know shit about MMOs.

I greatly enjoy playing this game with a group of RL connected friends who don't take this shit too seriously, and I will laugh my ass off at any loser who thinks his life is more complete because his character in a game has purple armor.

You sound like such a collossal faggot here, Chimp. Just felt the need to point that out. :(

PS: Shadowpriest solo grinders will be 70 before the Raiders can agree who gets what loot from the first instance.

[Emu]

Seriously Chimp, read what you posted out loud to yourself. :(

don't worry chimp, i still think UR cooler than this guy:

:lol

Typical casual player talk, making big claims about how the expansion is going to be the magic bullet which evens the playing field for everyone. If you don't understand that in every single MMO, the people who play the most get the most, it's you that are deluding yourself.

Raiders won't have to worry about who gets what because they'll just keep running the instance until them and all of their friends have everything they want... meanwhile, the casuals will run it once, claim it's too hard or get bored or whatever, and in a month or two, they will be spamming General chat crying about not being able to find a group.

You're looking at the mechanics of the game, but those are such a small part of the equation, you can ignore it completely. More time spent = stronger character.

[ziggytrix]

:lol

Typical casual player talk,

I'm sorry I don't meet your "professional player" standards. Faggot.


making big claims about how the expansion is going to be the magic bullet which evens the playing field for everyone.

I never said that, or even meant to imply it, but now that you mention it, reduced size instances will make it easier for smaller guilds to compete with larger guilds. A casual-friendly guild with a core of on-every-night no-life gamers will be able to get much further than previously possible. Don't you look forward to 10-manning Ony at level 70?


If you don't understand that in every single MMO, the people who play the most get the most, it's you that are deluding yourself.

I dunno. If a raiding priest plays 20+ hours a week, gets every piece of gear he wants, then quits the game cuz the demands of his guild were "too stressful" I think he actually got less than the guy who doesn't play as often, but still enjoys the game. That's totally just my opinon though.


You're looking at the mechanics of the game, but those are such a small part of the equation, you can ignore it completely. More time spent = stronger character.

That's generally true, but there are so many different directions you can go in this game that more time spent = more time wasted if you don't have a clear goal.

Especially when every bit of new content added will obsolesce whatever goal you previously had and alienate the folks who were still working toward that goal. Of course, successful MMOs pander to their userbase quite a bit, so those old, hard-fought goals will become much easier to achieve with the abilities granted by the new content, even while a new bar is set in the new content. MMOs are incredibly gay like that. They can be quite fun in moderation, but the people who take them as seriously or more seriously than other aspects of their lives have a problem.

[ziggytrix]

I hear in the expansion you'll be able to turn in BG Honor Tokens for RL Respect.

[red8ge]

Is it true the raid numbers going from 40 to 25? Might have been a rumor, I'm not sure.
















And yes i play WoW for all 2 people who care.

[DamnthatDavid]

We don't even care who you are Red.

As a person who plays WoW during the Darker half of the year (I'm out and about to much during late spring to early fall) and hardcore it during the worst of the winter, I am able to see both your view points.

True, the only end game guilds that kept me on where the ones that Chimp was in, but due to not having "fire spec" or a high enough DPS, or a working mic, i found myself excluded from raids.

But I also feel the accomplishment when you are totally decked out in cool armor. That anyone lower level then you runs in fear. I had found last spring, before I canceled my account, the joys of a well used Shaman, and the ability to kill levels higher then you.

Well, don't matter. I won't be playing for another 2-3 months.

[eggyolk]

i actually quit playing this game also :x

[Dr. V]

I never quit. Anything

[EisigerBiskuit]

Since I got banned for something I didn't do, I decided to try the test server for the new PvP system. Luckily, account that were active on the 13th were allowed to attend, and the mass ban began on the 14th.

One thing to all the people who enjoyed the time suck: You're going to be pissed. All you have now is a nickname and the gear you got before. Now it only takes 1 day to collect an epic weapon you want. Awesome!

[Archduke Tips]

Awhile ago I realized I only played WoW while drunk. Now I just drink and don't play WoW at all.

"The different procs: [note, all the buffs are able to be cast on anyone of any level (in the same party/raid) EXCEPT the +50 to all stats]

Flamestrike (90-150 fire damage)- breaks sheeps/shackles/saps
AOE Mana and Health Over time (50 every 5 sec for 20 seconds) *stackable*
+50 to all attributes for 20 seconds *stackable, mwuahahahaha*
AOE +25% attack speed for 8 seconds *stackable* - had +50% speed at one point

YAY

[EisigerBiskuit]

That and the kirmit picture made me giggle like a faggot

[ItalianStereotype]

well, with the expansion only about two months away, most of the people in my guild have stopped raiding entirely for fear of their gear becoming obsolete. so what the fuck am I supposed to do?

[Carnivore]

I'm in the same boat. Level an alt to 60 or something :/

[AChimp]

We've got some reduced numbers, but mostly we're still raiding regularly. We're not doing anything this week, though, on account of 3/4 of the guild spending time with family over the holidays.

It's pretty retarded to think that your gear is going to become obsolete the instant the expansion hits. The people I've talked to in the beta right now say that if you won't be replacing T2+ items until around level 65-67, and if you've got some T3 pieces, you won't find anything that's significantly better until level 70.

More gear now helps with the grind later!

BTW, Faerlina down and I've got 2/9 Plagueheart ;O

[AChimp]

Tier 5 armor shots

http://www.worldofraids.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1264

[Emu]

WOW has without a doubt the most faggoty armor designs of any game ever. The only good ones are those white priest robes with the hood and the one thing with the skulls and spikes. The rest of them look like something some 12 year old DBZ fan would draw.

[ziggytrix]

well, with the expansion only about two months away, most of the people in my guild have stopped raiding entirely for fear of their gear becoming obsolete. so what the fuck am I supposed to do?

start saving up your gold for the flying mounts. they're gonna cost 1000g for the normal ones and 4000g for the fast ones.

also, like chimp said, any gear you can upgrade now will just make things that much easier when the expansion hits.

[EisigerBiskuit]

Those are for lessons right? The new currency they're dicking up is pissing off my brain.

[AChimp]

They haven't changed the currency. Gold right now is still gold in the expansion :/

Saving up that much gold is going to take a bit of time, but it's really easy.

[Dr. V]

I've netted the most money from farming arcane crystals. but even then, its only 20g here and there. I still haven't fond that secret cash cow everyone seems to have.

[ValientKid]

If you can take the annoyance. Try running Scholomance once a day for at least two weeks.

[Misdemonar]

Felstone field is where I farm, but I only make 5 gs an hour :(.

[Carnivore]

Has anybody else just totally lost interest in WoW?

[Chojin]

yes

[Emu]

WOW is a shitty game, for serious.

[EisigerBiskuit]

I haven't lost interest yet!

[Immortal Goat]

I haven't lost interest in it. In fact, I'm finally starting to really into it, since I'm almost 60.

[AChimp]

I don't play as much as I did before. Mostly it's PvP now :O

nobody ever wants to run anything anymore and PvP is buggy, so I start a new alt like every other day ;<

"runescape is a game where you a figures walking around fighting and gaining exp and items.On the other hand World of Warcraft is when u are Alliance or Hordes? then u fight monsters for exp also and alot more items and has great graphics "

They sound the same to me but apparently World of Warcraft blasts bad Busta Rhymes music.

Not that any of you REALLY care, but I finally got my main to 60 today. Now comes the fun of dungeon crawling until the expansion comes out.

60 human warrior
49 night elf druid
36 night elf hunter
27 human rogue

46 undead warlock

The best thing about levelling a new character is that you can power it and finish super fast... no noobie wandering around trying to finish quests because you already know where to go! :D

It is a pain, though.

There are some new Blood Elf quests around the world that I've been finding. Mostly, they involve going around and killing things to see if they bleed. ;O

I can also cook EVERYTHING now. :)

[Immortal Goat]

I haven't been to the portal yet, so I haven't gotten the new tabbard. I should to that. I've been hitting Alterac Valley a lot lately. I get a ton of honor in there, and it's the only BG the Alliance consistently wins, though they really need to fix the Horde bug from the last patch. Able to cap flags from 30 yards away without it being in your line of sight, my ass! >:

I'm working for my PvP set, which looks cool, but I wish they would just make them look different from the Rogue set. Same goes for the Warrior and Pally PvP sets. THey all look the same :(

[EisigerBiskuit]

Ooh, a purrty tabard that makes me flex! :shine:

I'm too busy leveling up a hunter before the expansion comes out because someone told me to.

[ItalianStereotype]

oh boo hoo, AV is sooo slanted towards Alliance anyway.

[Immortal Goat]

Not my fault the Horde can't do anything but zerg the northern GY and then sit on their fat, ugly, rotting asses.

[AChimp]

Guild record for an AV win is 15 minutes :(

[ItalianStereotype]

maybe because the Alliance position is actually defendable? chokepoint + towers + npc's=bad juju for the Horde.

[EisigerBiskuit]

Bugging the Tower Generals in order to kill the Alliance Commander lol

[AChimp]

It's not a bug. It's just treating them like any other mob in the game. Alliance could do that too, but they're still too busy trying to climb the waterfall into the Horde base.

[Immortal Goat]

I thought it was because of a Shaman based ability called "Farsight" or something like that. We don't have Shamans. Yet. :)

[eggyolk]

Achimp how is laughing skull horde progression wise? My server has yet to down naxx and frankly im a little ashamed.

[EisigerBiskuit]

Actually, they say there's a little window you can shoot through which will bug the guards since they can never reach you, and then the goofball can be pulled away from the generals and be fought in the big room outside.

I guess that's possible for us, except they don't have windows and that room is small as hell. That cleave hurts.

[AChimp]

Laughing Skull is pretty far behind in PvE, despite it being one of the original realms. Only one Alliance guild has downed 4H and beyond.

One Horde guild can clear up to them, but has never downed them. My guild downed Twin Emps and made it 3 bosses into Naxx. There were three guilds ahead of us on Horde side.

We rock all of the other servers in PvP though. ;D

[EisigerBiskuit]

Hunters seem to be really strengthy. I'm picking on people 6 levels above me, and they don't like it. I'm sad that my Bwokentoof got his attack speed normalized. The Beast Within in 1 level! Oh my god I'm so UNGH.

hunters are extremely imbalanced. they own every class come pvp time. im only saying this because i just lost wsg vs. 10 hunters

[EisigerBiskuit]

If it's a new account, it does.

I'm stuck leveling my undead rogue, BOOHOO. I'm missing out on jumping like a retard.

It's also stupid that I can download the main game, and purchase a key from them online, but I have to buy another box for another account.

[AChimp]

You can make a new account with just the CD key. You don't need a CD key to actually install the software at all.

[Dire Flamingo]

I just spent the last 4 hours not playing a game I paid 40 bux for because of lag.
Arghblargh.

[ItalianStereotype]

I just spent the last two months not playing a game I pay $15 a month for ON TOP OF the $40 I paid for the expansion due to my computer sucking immensely.

Says I has ta get a new one per account. The only way to get a key is to buy a box. Uh oh!

[Dire Flamingo]

Well, from what I've seen so far, I like the Draenei better than the Blood Elves. The BE racials kick ass, but I'm not sure I'm up to seeing 1,000 Elf-Fabios do the Napoleon Dynamite dance. >:

Oh, I thought they were selling CD keys for the original game on their website... or maybe they were like a year ago. :(

BTW, this expansion is the coolest thing EVER.

[EisigerBiskuit]

I don't have it yet, but throwing bombs off of gryphons is funny.

[Dire Flamingo]

The quest rewards in outland are funtastic if you don't get to raid a lot, but god, everybody's reverted to the "OMFG TAHT WAS MY MOB U BASTID" stage because of all the people on my high pop server.

hell yea boy 53! :)

[AChimp]

Level 66 now! Just a few more...

[Shifty]

ur slow.

[ItalianStereotype]

saw a level 69 Blood Elf today.

[eggyolk]

i was questing in winterspring the other day and i saw a blood elf rogue who was my level (56 now) i've been playing my character for about 6 months too. :o

then i proceeded to tag all the mobs before she did, and feared the ones she had tagged. when asked why i was doing this, i replied "im concerned about your health and safety :(" and "SEEK SUNLIGHT" i thought it was funny atleast. :x

[AChimp]

You don't even have to play a lot to level up. You just have to know what you're doing.

I gained half a level last night in two hours of playing. :\

[eggyolk]

there are nerds in this game who take it to the extreme though

level 70 in a week CAN IT BE DONE

[Shifty]

My friend saw a lvl 70 24 hours after the expansion was out.

[Emu]

do people still play this

[eggyolk]

hell yes. there was just an expansion boy :eek

[Emu]

I know, I went with my friend when she bought it at midnight on the opening day, in 2 degree weather, while it was snowing and icy.

We skidded off the road and she got her front driver's side wheel completely fucked up.

Fuck Burning Crusade. >:

[eggyolk]

i havent even bought the expansion yet and im still playing. :) the only character i have at max is a warrior, the worst class you could ever use to solo.

sorry about your friends car though. :(

[AChimp]

My friend saw a lvl 70 24 hours after the expansion was out.

Your friend's a liar unless he lives in Europe. Blizzard already acknowleged that the first 70 in North America was done in 40 hours straight of pure grinding. The guy in Europe who hit 70 on the first day had 10 people following him around killing stuff after he tagged it. Basically he just hit stuff once so he could get the XP and everyone else killed it for him.

[EisigerBiskuit]

I heard there was a glitch where a caster could gather a lot of hard monsters together and force them into not being able to attack. So basically he just took 10 or 20 regular monsters, and possibly with a friend, nuked them. What happened to that guy?

[Immortal Goat]

Yay for paladins who can't fucking play their class >: I was in Nagrand trying to kill the Hungerer, and we had a group of 5. Our paladin complained that we were out of her fucking range and then healed out of group warriors because they had rage that I could have gotten back with ONE FUCKING ROAR.

This was after, of course, she wasted 30 minutes of our time running around a cave, and when I told her we wanted to kill this guy, she said "Oh, you need me now?"

Fucking morons. I was outhealing her and I'm Feral, goddamnit.

[EisigerBiskuit]

Thrall punched some nerds face in for yelling. Hell yeah for time travel.

[ItalianStereotype]

man, the Allies have been real bitches on my server lately. level 70's camping in Thousand Needles, the Barrens, and Ashenvale. it seems I've been ganked more in the past two weeks than my entire time leveling 1-60.

fix warriors prz :<

[Immortal Goat]

I'm sure the Horde is being just as bad in Darkshire, Astranaar, Auberdine, and just about everywhere else as well.

[ItalianStereotype]

not on my server. Alliance to Horde ratio is like 3:1 and we're all more interested in NOT being douchebags.

[Immortal Goat]

Complete opposite of Detheroc. Horde are generally douchebags over here, and the Alliance just wants to stay out of their way and get their quests done.

[EisigerBiskuit]

Luckily my server is being supercool on faction tension, since they both want quests done. But if it's a rogue, it doesn't count.

[ItalianStereotype]

just got ganked by a level 70 shadow priest. I return to my body only to find 12 Allies camping me, all from separate guilds. I hate this game so much sometimes.

[eggyolk]

you guys should play alliance instead :O

[AChimp]

Level 68.5! I almost have enough money to buy an epic flying mount :O

[Immortal Goat]

Flight form FTW! ^_^

[ItalianStereotype]

how are you guys making money? I never seem to have more than 300 gold.

[EisigerBiskuit]

Normally throughout the course of leveling 60-70, you make an assload of money from quests. I don't really have a craft besides mining and JC, and my mining is like 74 or some hoohash. Whatever I don't use I sell on the AH. Also, I heard Khorium sells for 25g for 1 ore on my server. Try that.
