can someone post the patch notes? those sites are blocked

is mmo-champion blocked for you at work?

9/25/2007 9:43:18 AM

Yeah I was there when you were talking to her, I figured it was you when I heard her saying that haha. The question is when does season 3 come out and has the point requirement for the weapons been confirmed? That is the main reason I am debating saving for season 2 MH. Chances of my teams getting high enough to purchase a season 3 weapon are low, and I am not selling my soul to buy a spot on some team to get something I didnt earn like most people are going to do.

lol i have killed a many rogued on my hunter who was vanished

9/25/2007 10:02:16 AM

I have been killed many a times by this as well, and now that almost every class has some sorta pet it has gotten pretty frustrating.

9/25/2007 10:07:22 AM

Yea, it really was beyond frustrating and shouldn't have taken this long to fix.

9/25/2007 10:08:16 AM

Also I'd like to know if they fixed it where a hunter can send his pet to attack from a mile away and when I stealth it just ignores it and 10 seconds later I have a BM pet raping me.

9/25/2007 10:17:33 AM

I'm not sure on the exact point requirement, but it's most likely going to be at least 1800. They mentioned "1800 or 1900 sounds about right" so 1800 sounds more reasonable than 1900.

9/25/2007 10:17:49 AM

Right, which I have no problem with there should be some perks that come with having a really good team. I hope they find some way to avoid letting people just buy their way onto teams though. Basically arena is going to become a huge moneymaker if they dont, you will see teams selling slots for ridiculous amounts of gold and people will pay. They need to tie it in somehow with having to have played like 15% of the teams total games for the season or something as well. I like the concept because honestly I only play 10-20 games a week and even though it may take me a LONG time at that rate I still feel like I cheated somehow to get the best weapons in the game haha.

9/25/2007 10:26:51 AM

I guess there's always a flaw with stuff like arenas and BG's. It's similar to how noobs afk in BG's and eventually save up to buy good gear. Just like the whole noobs buying onto a team to get l33t weapons, nothing can be done to prevent it unfortunately.

9/25/2007 10:29:11 AM

people buy into instances for gear too (especially pre BC)..attunements has helped with that some but ive seen people pay for runs to get attuned and then again for BT weapons

9/25/2007 11:14:44 AM

I tried to sell my dkp to a guy for 5k so he could make storm herald
gm didn't like that

9/25/2007 11:17:15 AM

yea our gm has sold vashj kills to people for like 800g to ebay players. they don't get loot though.

9/25/2007 11:32:51 AM

guild used to make 10-20k a week selling raid loot pre-tbc. arena team stuff isn't that different

9/25/2007 3:36:57 PM

i remember i almost bought a netherwind robe for 700g back in the day but held back, lol.

The pornstar Miarose joined our guild last night. So far it has been amazing. She takes quite a beating. I still only give her a week.

9/26/2007 7:20:04 AM

who?

9/26/2007 1:59:45 PM

the chick who did those "whorecraft" pornos, kinda like a porn based off WoW/fantasy games. I saw a full episode once it was kinda ok. Mia Rose is one of the chicks whos in some of them, and supposedly she plays WoW IRL (a warlock i heard).

can't get a direct link to a picture to post, but here's a link to the page with one.

haha, i think i came across one of those

it was fucking retarded

9/26/2007 2:36:04 PM

yep, miarose. she plays a warlock and seems pretty clueless. she's begging to get in raids. i hope we destroy her soul.

theres a bunch of 2.3 patch notes there, looks like shamans and rogues (subtlety spec) are getting some major love.

9/26/2007 4:35:39 PM

Blind no longer requires a reagent
^not really a big deal, easy to get blinding powder

Blind is now a physical attack
^could be a nerf for rogues with low hit (unless they mean it's being turned into a regular attack like SS with no cooldown which would be nice but difficult to implement since you already have CS and gouge as your combat-based stuns)

Blind now shares the Diminishing Returns of Cyclone
^useless if it's still on a 3-5 minute timer. also if it shares the stun cooldown this could be a huge nerf to stunlocking.

Blind is now affected by Diminishing Returns in PvE
^same as above

Shadowstep may now be used while not in stealth
^ never wanted to spec that far into the line, heard it sucks, maybe it makes it better?

Shadowstep reduces threat caused by your next Ambush, Garrote, or Backstab by 50%
^ LOL who would PvE with a shadowstep build??????

Shadowstep cooldown increased to 40 seconds

Dirty Deeds increases damage of special attacks by 10/20% against targets below 35% health
^ possibly very nice


I heard they might be redoing hemo too which could be nice and give it raid viability.

9/26/2007 4:46:17 PM

so I haven't been able to log on sense yesterday morning and have done everything to fix it. Sweet.

9/26/2007 5:43:00 PM

those buffs to shamans fucking rule

9/26/2007 6:36:53 PM

wtb elemental shammy buffs (other than frost shock not on DR)

"Shadowstep cooldown increased to 40 seconds"

biggest nerf to burst damage ever. it's a completely useless talent now. the only good thing about blind is that it can't be cleansed anymore. also, hit does not matter in pvp everything is the same level as you.

9/26/2007 8:36:38 PM

^um unless rogues are different this patch than warriors hit still matters. you just need LESS a same level target. for a 2H weapon i have a 5% chance to miss same level mobs and *other players*. On a 73 raid boss i have a 5.6% chance to miss.

This 2H % also applies to the main hand of a rogue or dw warrior etc. Since your specials are mainhand your rogue specials have a 5% chance to miss a lvl 70 opponent in PVP. If i recall your autoattacks have a 24% chance to miss on same level targets.

So unless they changed that this patch I hope you havent been playing a rogue very long :x

9/27/2007 1:19:46 AM

stuck in arena due to fucktastic patch would be my guess

conjure vending machine FTW!

pretty nice rogue mobility buffs.

9/27/2007 3:55:28 AM

dude, they obviously weren't fighting. they probably just camped out in it, maybe to see if something would bugout if you stayed that long.

9/27/2007 8:13:21 AM

look at the damage totals, that's pretty crazy

9/27/2007 9:12:46 AM

yesterday i had my rogue alt join a guild, then they invited me to kara just for chess/prince. got girdle of treachery & malchazeen defaulted to me. GG

9/27/2007 10:06:26 AM

i had a malch given to me even after i said i didn't want it because i'm swords haha

9/27/2007 10:15:02 AM

9/27/2007 10:29:57 AM

you guys hear about all the new daily quests they're adding?

Raids & Dungeons

* (3) New daily quests are available in the Lower City for 5 man heroic and non-heroic dungeons (Once at a time, a bit like battlegroundw weekends, each day you will get quests for a different dungeons). The following non-heroic dungeons are concerned : Shattered Halls, Steamvault, Shadow Labyrinth, Black Morass, Botanica, Mechanar, and Arcatraz. All dungeons will get quests in Heroic mode. If you're getting the non-heroic and the heroic quest on the same day for the same dungeon, you can complete both by running it in heroic mode once. Non heroic quests will reward you with a Ethereum Prison Key (various reputation), gold, and reputation with the Consortium. Heroic quests will give you 2 Badges of Justice, gold, and reputation with the Consortium.

9/27/2007 3:39:21 PM

isn't there something for the battlegrounds too?

wonder if the daily quest would be the same for everyone that day, assuming its random. be SO easy to get a group for heroic _____ if everyone needed to do it for their daily quest

9/27/2007 3:57:42 PM

thats sweet... will be easy for badges now.... get it on mech day and thats 6 cake badges

9/28/2007 9:47:46 AM

how are healing priests vs. shadow priests as far as raid necessity?

I just dinged 68 on my priest last night, not sure if i want to go all out holy or stay shadow once i hit 70.


and i wish i had a dps warrior this helm is fucking sick

Boo on 'good for only one ride' brooms. I say quidditch anyone?

I am curious to see the new CE mount that is going to piss off peeps who dropped 5k on a silly gryphon/netherdrake. I'd like for it to be a hypogryph but being a dr00d I have swift flight form regardless.

9/28/2007 10:29:37 AM

I'm sure the mount itself will be 2k, the training will still be 5k.

^^Shadow Priests are VERY necessary for raids, they have a very unique niche that can not be replaced by a rogue or mage by being a mana battery. I have a shadow priest, but have only done kara since I don't really play anymore. Holy priests are replaceable by shamans/paladins/druids, but are needed in 25 mans for raid healing.

I'd say stay shadow.

9/28/2007 10:54:24 AM

Good call on the training. It has been so long I had forgotten where the real money goes.

9/28/2007 11:06:52 AM

shadow priests are useful in most 5 mans and on raids, if i'm makin a group i'd always take one as a dps if they are lfg.
