When I look at the wisp it reminds me of Frylock from Aqua Teen Hunger Force :(

wouldnt it be an even better april fools joke if it were true :P

please give us back the pandarans blizzard, they kicked ass

I spent about an hour farming Dark Iron dwarves for the new alchemy recipe and got two to drop during that time. Learned one, selling the other for lots of gold. :D

Blizz just isn't trying anymore.

what was the joke last year?

two-headed ogre player class? or was that 2 years ago?

I think it was that one with the pandarian express where you order food and shit.

Lol ;<

just started an undead lock on the pvp realm bonechewer if anyone wants to level with me. name is "watt"

Ossirian down! :O

One of the best fights in the game, IMO. You gotta kite him around and click crystals to zap him with lightning and put a debuff on him that makes him vulnerable to a random school of magic. Then you put on more dots and collect your loot!

Have you downed Nefarien yet, Carni?

If you're looking for a challenge, you should try Rag with 29 people. :O

We can clear MC now in about 2 days but we dont have enough people who have finished the waterlords to summon majordomo yet.

Considering what it takes to do that I cant imagine doing BWL or clearing MC in 5 hours like some do.

I'll never see Ossiran because I have yet to be in a any group that can get past the 4th general in AQ20. :(

We took a week off, will be picking up BWL again this Sunday. We're going to make a potion-aided push to get our first Nefarian kill on Monday. I'll try to remember to grab a screen of the body.

We clear MC in 3 1/2 hours now easily and we have killed Rag with close to 29. It just takes time to get to that point. I still remember when we were just getting our feet wet, attempting a boss or two twice a week....

45 minute Strat UD DOWN! >:

with a pug no-less.

I liked WoW when it first came out, but when Blizzard forgot about the casual players I kinda got out of it. Where do people find the time to farm weeks upon weeks for this "epic gear," then sit down for 5+ hours in the endgame dungeons?

Seems like all this reputation farming coupled with getting the next tier of items (before another tier is released) is just busywork to keep people occupied and paying the $15 a month. Where's the fun in it? I've heard countless times that you "have to work to get to the fun parts." Isn't that what getting a job's for? And to play video games to escape all that for an hour or two?

Cripes

DAMN STRAIGHT BROTHA! I want epic gear. I also have no time in my schedule to go on a 5 hr MC or farm for Defilers rep for a week. On top of that, I dont have the time to make the money to buy the gear the rep has earned me. WHERE'S MY PURPZ, MAN!?

The epic items are in the game to reward people who invest the time in it. You're not going to get a super powerful character for a minimum amount of effort in any MMORPG.

You can't expect to spend 2 hours per week and be at the same level as people who play all the time.

If you want your fucking epic item so bad just use cheats to get it, god :rolleyes

Still haven't downed Nefarian, for the record :(

Yeah. That's what I like about the lower levels of most MMOs, but it seems like they all do this once you get about 50-80% through the "level grind". It does keep the subscribers paying, and that's the bottom line for a business.

No, but it's irresponsible to reward people who play WAY more than any person should. People have lost jobs, failed out of shool, and even died from spending rediculous amounts of time playing MMOs.

Now I'm not goin all Jack Thompson on you guys here. I've no reason to believe that these mouth-breathers wouldn't have lost thier jobs or failed out of school otherwise, but it seems like MMOs attempt to reward absurdly obsessive behavior.

I haven't taken a character to 60 yet though, so I don't really know just how much better this epic equipment is than what can be acquired by someone who plays for 5-10 hours a week, as opposed to 5-10 hours (or more) per day!

Its not sooo much better that a casual player would even notice a difference actually. Epic gear is made to make a difference in high end raid dungeons, so really the "problem" solves itself.

Actually it makes a huge difference, especially if you PvP.

I've got 7/8 Felheart and 1/8 Nemesis, and with full buffs I have 7100 hp now, which is more than most warriors. I've taken on three level 60 Alliance without epic gear and won with hardly a scratch, and not for their lack of trying. Without epic gear, I'd be sitting at around 4000 hp, and have about 200 less damage on all my spells.

Scary...

Well, my new Shammie main is stuck at 43.

This game really isn't even that much of an extreme. In the time it takes me to get a level 60, other people could get 3, but I only spend about 2-4 hours a day just grinding away, and maybe doing 1 instance. Even with guild runs I can only afford to do that and nothing else.

Its confirmed new race isn't Draeni ;p

suck it people its furlbolg I'll bet my Shrub Shoulders on it.
