"if horde played well, they could overcome an unfair map and beat alliance scrubs that don't know how to use the map to their advantage"
AV is in no way balanced.

The new toyota commercial where the wow guys summon a tacoma and go fight ony/nef in plaguelands its pretty funny. I wonder if I can get that tacoma mount with the purchase of a new truck

Yay beerfest!

10/7/2007 1:34:39 PM

I have 341 brewfest tickets... almost to my mount.

I respec'd to 31/30 warrior. Mainly MS and Deathwish/Flurry. It's fun. What would be a good spec to have to dps kara (i know i won't be great at it) and still do good in pvp? This one is working well for pvp and okay for pve.

I am pretty much doomed as far as tanking kara goes. I've been in 2 guilds over here and I've been number 5 tank in both with only 2 kara groups. I've only got one kara drop and it was a dps cloak from moroes. QQQQQQ. I just want a kara team! someone take me with them! I'll friggen transfer to you if you can guarantee me a MT or OT position in kara. I'm pretty-well geared for kara for having no kara gear.

I was unexpectedly amused by the Toyota video when I saw it on our guild forums.

so for brewfest....are the only quests you can do daily is the ram run around ironforge and the keg race??

10/8/2007 5:42:57 PM

no one plays alliance

10/8/2007 6:31:13 PM

i do

10/8/2007 6:49:07 PM

the keg thing is every 12 hours and doesnt count as a "daily quest" (10/day) but the barking does.

10/8/2007 6:52:19 PM

i play alliance, on a pvp server even!

10/8/2007 7:13:02 PM

You gotta love resto druids that are such a pain to kill that the other team gives up 2v1 just because they know if they dont they will be stuck in arena for hours lol

10/8/2007 7:15:29 PM

200 spell damage? that's pretty weak

10/8/2007 8:25:13 PM

with the other bonuses its pretty damn good

10/8/2007 8:56:52 PM

and it's a MOTHERFUCKING LICH

they don't even have to give bonuses

they're all like, DUDE, YOU'RE A LICH, how ya feel?

fan-fucking-tastic

10/8/2007 9:03:37 PM

how are these talents being introduced, 2.3? or is this WotLK shit

10/8/2007 9:41:08 PM

I'd assume 51 point talents. Rogues need a talent for passive chromatic resist. 40 point talent in combat, 5 points 30 resist per school per point.

10/8/2007 10:02:47 PM

fuck rogues

10/8/2007 11:04:33 PM

Warlock dots should stack.

10/8/2007 11:30:20 PM

^Cause they totally arn't overpowered already

So I read today that not only are the season 3 weapons gonna require 1850, but the shoulders are gonna require 2000. I would try to verify this, but I cant get the WoW website to load on this old as shit computer. It was nice to read that you will get the set bonuses finally though if you mix different seasons gear.

10/9/2007 10:12:29 AM

yea there was a blue post on that a week or two ago

but yea the set bonus thing is coo

10/9/2007 10:16:36 AM

no more getting double resilience bonus?

like wearing 2 season one and 2 season two would get 70 or w/e resilience

10/9/2007 10:25:50 AM

doesnt seem that way

10/9/2007 10:26:58 AM

anyone know how to make my WoW run a little faster? I have everything turned down on it but sometimes it'll just start getting really choppy and making it jump really bad.

10/9/2007 11:04:44 AM

how much RAM do you have?

10/9/2007 11:05:21 AM

a lot of people are having issues because of the new sound driver

10/9/2007 11:21:15 AM

1 Gb

and a 6800 Nvidia with 256 MB

10/9/2007 11:21:24 AM

yea you really need 2gb to make it run smooth, i got a huge performance increase when i jacked up my ram

10/9/2007 11:23:12 AM

the biggest upgrade you can do to your PC to improve the performance of WoW for you will be to up your system to 2GB of RAM. WoW is more RAM intensive than video card intensive

[Edited on October 9, 2007 at 11:23 AM. Reason : ]

10/9/2007 11:23:31 AM

just ordered another GB from new egg. See if that'll fix it.

10/9/2007 11:28:03 AM

ive had tons of friends over the years (esp in BC) complain about stuff loading slow (seeing shadows before players/npcs), choppy graphics etc. they all had good graphics cards but changing from 1GB to 2GB+ fixed their problems every time. so hopefully it does the same for you.

10/9/2007 11:31:31 AM

shat would just put my PC to a halt sometimes.

then sometimes i would be randomly doing nothing, just sitting afk, and my PC would just start grinding and turn my game into a lag fest for the next 10 mins.

10/9/2007 11:34:51 AM

its because wow is coded in a piss poor manner.

10/9/2007 3:40:32 PM

not really. Its because an MMO requires a ton of background storage. You have all that gear and all those stats on your character that need to be computed and displayed along with everyone else in the immediate area and any NPCs. And combine this with the need to load models for all these characters after you figure out what gear they have.

Its not like an FPS where the textures, models and everything you're going to need for the game are precached at the start. Because the characters and the environment are dynamic, so is what you're going to need to load. And if you go from say shat to the middle of org you're pretty much going to need to dump and reload everything thats cached. The environment and NPCs are all different and the player characters are mostly different.

Wow is probably one of the better coded MMos out there.

10/9/2007 4:04:35 PM

honor cap ftl

10/9/2007 5:25:37 PM

ftw for you when 2.3 comes out tho

10/9/2007 5:33:02 PM

wow doesn't cache any textures on your video card, so the game "scales well." that is what pisses me off. sure the terrain, models, etc change, but a lot of the textures are reused and upping video memory does absolutely nothing from what I've experienced playing this game on several different cards. even changing video cards doesn't to one with almost double the flops nets something like 5-10% fps increase (maybe 2.5-5fps in my case going from a 6800 vanilla to a 7900gt) cpu cache and ram are all that I have seen improve game performance even somewhat significantly and that's only because it keeps wow out of the page so much, which is really just improving transition performance and not constant performance.

[Edited on October 9, 2007 at 6:02 PM. Reason : I play with 1gb of ram and wow takes up 400mb no matter what. I often have 400ish free when playing]

10/9/2007 6:01:23 PM

i used to run a UI that took up 130MB, ran at full resolution/graphics, still never dropped below 30fps in any environment, crowded AH's...raids...blizz events.

upgrade your pc imo

10/9/2007 7:52:02 PM

man I don't know how I feel about a shadow bolt volley

I'd rather have a badass instant shadow version of cone of cold, with shadow bolts and no slowing effect

10/9/2007 8:35:18 PM

4400+ x2 1mb cache per core, 1gb ram, 7900gt from a 3000+ venice, 1gb ram, 6800. ~5fps. clearly upgrading my pc did a lot.

10/9/2007 10:31:55 PM

haha oh man just got the Mana Prime Enchant to bracers, bout to sell this bitch for some GOLD
