lol guess I won't be checking out the raids

Manabyte as the premier WoW ambassador, what do you think of the patch and Cata in general

ManaByte · « **Reply #61 on:** November 24, 2010, 04:32:21 PM »

Not many complaints yet although I would've liked to have seen Worgen and Goblin get capital cities.

And Epic Flying should be reduced in price since it's currently the same price as Master Riding.

I'd be worried about people who speak of returning to the glory of vanilla raiding. If you've read articles about "glory day" nostalgia, there's a lot of love for broken, archaic design. Something along the lines of "Oh man, you'd enter a dungeon and it made no sense of where to go and then a boss would spawn on top of you and wipe you! It was so great!"

I hope they don't mean that and I know they don't mean the crappy dungeon design that started up towards the end of vanilla because Cata is redesigning many of those.

And PD, I wouldn't bother with your Shaman. *dons Kanye mask* Blizzard doesn't care about Shaman peoples.

ManaByte · « **Reply #63 on:** November 24, 2010, 05:02:25 PM »

They're talking about difficulty and the fact that CC is actually needed now. It's not like ICC where you can run through and AOE your way to Arthas.

About 98% of WoW's quests can be soloed.

Im a lvl 80 warrior no way is "98%" of quests can be soloed. It is more like 80-90%.

Getting lost in BRD was so hilarious back in the day. Dunno why the group stuck together, but we manned it out beginning to end. I'll check out the smaller version

I have an itch to create a new character before Cata drops.

Friend of mine bought me keys for Vanilla/TBC and I got WotLK. It's installing now. Am I right that there is some kind of cross-realm messaging system now? If so, I need to know how to add you guys to that. Rolling a level 1 character tonight when I get home from the second job. I spent an hour last night on a friend's account re-learning how to level... it fucking sucks on retail. Two hours and I was only level 10. Sigh. This is gonna be so different.

Probably playing a tankadin. That or some kind of healing class. Not sure which yet.

You add someone by their email rather than character name and you can talk to them if they're on on different servers, if they're in Starcraft 2, etc

I just resubbed after 2 years and this game already has me raging. Good to be back lol

Any servers Boreans have congregated (will congregate) on? I've got a 80 Tauren Warrior (Fury iirc) that was pre ICC geared that hasn't been touched in months, think I might resub or at least redownload and use the 20 days that came with SC2. I'm pretty shitty but would like to play with kewl peeps.

I would also at least roll an alt to put in the <Evil Boreans> guild. A lot of my friends are playing on Ravenholdt, but they've made it pretty clear that they wanna keep our guild to just IRL friends that all know one another.

But I am kind of an altaholic.

Dickie Dee · « **Reply #79 on:** November 30, 2010, 01:15:56 PM »

I have no RL friends that play, which I suppose has lead to my on/off (often off) relationship with wow. I also hated making friends then being the tard that stood in the fire $:-\$

tehjaybo · « **Reply #80 on:** November 30, 2010, 01:18:24 PM »

Apparently there's an achievement for that now. I think it's called [Stood in the Fire] or something, you get it if Deathwing kills you. Someone on my realm was talking about getting it when Deathwing attacked Gadgetzan or something. I dunno.

I spent half the morning back on the private server that I'm staff on. I hovered above Gadgetzan while people were pvping, and used Nefarian's Wild Polymorph spell. It was hilarious.

ManaByte · « **Reply #81 on:** November 30, 2010, 01:19:21 PM »

[Stands in Fire] is a Feat of Strength, not an achievement. But yea you get it when Deathwing kills the zone you're in.

tehjaybo · « **Reply #82 on:** November 30, 2010, 01:20:12 PM »

Yeah, that's the one. My bad. I'm still learning the difference. Achievements/Feats of Strength are iffy at best on Magic.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #85 on:** December 01, 2010, 01:44:26 PM »

Haven't raided since I killed the LK. From what I saw on the beta, my gear is good enough to last me to at least lv83; barely saw any tank drops in quests, instances, etc. Initially I thought I'd grind as Arms but the patch changes have made Prot faster and easier to solo with.

Won't take long for people to hit 85. Definitely interested in seeing how the raiding scene builds. One of the bigger, premier alliance guilds on my server is making a comeback (Uther's Hand) as are some others. Definitely think alliance is going to be better during this expansion.

FatalT · « **Reply #86 on:** December 02, 2010, 09:24:26 PM »

I got my Undead Hunter to 41 and decided a Priest would probably be a better choice for end-game stuff (raiding and what-not) so I decided to roll a Blood Elf Priest last weekend. I'm already level 45 with him.

etiolate · « **Reply #87 on:** December 03, 2010, 12:43:20 AM »

Is Uther's Hand really making a comeback or are Renaissance peeps just disbanding and changing back to UH?

And yes fuck kentucky for adding to RH server imbalance. Blizz needs a population control policy.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #88 on:** December 03, 2010, 03:13:13 AM »

Talked to someone today who said UH still hasn't fully reformed. Guessing they're waiting until next week, dunno. Will be interesting to see how the balance of "great" raid guilds moves now. BoBCraft came out of nowhere and dominated the raid scene, while Ren and some of the other guilds took breaks. I wonder if we'll have 2-4 big raid guilds or whether there will be a mass exodus to 1-2.

tehjaybo · « **Reply #89 on:** December 03, 2010, 11:50:06 AM »

Sorry! I've just been playing a lot of Horde lately, so it seemed to make more sense. We're keeping the guild down to five or six people because we have a few people who have never played before, and they'd rather it just be us for now. I'm hoping that after they get a feel for the game, we can open it up to some more players, because I like larger guilds. It's easier to find groups with people you know aren't idiots for questing and instances, it's a larger userbase for asking questions, and guild chat can be a lot of fun. But I totally understand where they're coming from about wanting to keep the guild small, they just want to take their time on the content, which is cool. I do know some people that want to transfer over to play with my group though, lol. More Horde for the Great Imbalance of Ravenholdt!

ManaByte · « **Reply #90 on:** December 03, 2010, 12:16:45 PM »

Don't the guild achievements require you to have at least 10 people in a guild?

tehjaybo · « **Reply #91 on:** December 03, 2010, 02:42:03 PM »

Alts included, we have 10 characters, but other than that I don't know. I haven't really read up on it too much.

How much gold do you guys have lol. I went into WoTLK pretty poor, but right now I have about 6kg. Should be more than enough. I never buy gear early in an expansion, but leveling professions for my main and alts could get pricey.

Just farm ore and herbs. They go for a ton of gold at the start of an expansion.

ManaByte · « **Reply #99 on:** December 04, 2010, 03:57:08 PM »

No, I mean mine the NEW stuff. Just load up on the new ore and you can make a mint by gouging people leveling the crafting professions who don't bother to gether.

A person I've been playing with since level 60 has 220k gold. What's really bad is most of it is useless since he's transferring and there's a limit to how much gold you can transfer with

I was actually talking to a friend about transferring gold. Since you're only allowed to transfer (I think) 20k, just buy things on your old server, and transfer them with the character. The main thing he said was those engineering motorcycles. Make a level 1 toon on the server you're gonna transfer to and sit in a main city for an hour, watch the Auction House and Trade chat and see how much some of the higher price items are going for, buy those like mad on your other server, and sell them for higher on the new one. Not only are you transferring your money, you're making MORE.

I am not sure what happened, as they don't show up on armory and didn't mention to me that they were group transferring, but it just got suckier Ally side.

Yea noticed a couple of those last month. Sucks not knowing who it was.

Just signed off after a quest marathon. I really didn't like Vashj'ir during the beta, but I'm having some fun there now. The music is amazing and having the underwater mount makes things so much faster. Really like the new quest system. Kill a random mob? Oh look, a quest pop up. Finish the quest? Complete it without having to travel to a quest giver. Me likey

Halfway to lv81. Gonna watch some SC2 GSL matches, then head back on WoW and get to 82. Most likely by doing Blackrock Caverns

etiolate · « **Reply #119 on:** December 08, 2010, 02:14:59 AM »

Well I figured out who three were: Astolpho, Mecurio and Kastille. I don't know where they went or why. Troops is also gone. That is like two out of the better and better geared healers on Alliance for RH server. They are also the people I mostly play with when I actually played. I still hate that WoW's system doesn't say who was removed.
