no, you get bonus honor based on how many of your objectives you completed. there should be an honor penalty for /afk'ing out of losing games though. I'm about sick of sitting in the queue for 15-20 minutes then entering a game my team is losing 900-1900

9/20/2005 3:06:10 PM

anybody got links to Titan? and also the damage control add on that will show me my dps?

9/20/2005 3:16:28 PM

^^agreed.

Especially when two PE guys were the culprit last night (Gruntie and Flyingbird)

9/20/2005 3:32:15 PM

basically im looking for something that will show my session and battle dps as well as crit %. i found a few things online but none that had both of those things

9/20/2005 10:36:49 PM

bah i hit 40 and the battleground sucks now...my spells hardly ever catch and i am an easy target...

9/21/2005 5:57:38 AM

Trying to figure out what character to roll next. I have a 60 lock and a 60 hunter. I just can't find another class to get into. Any suggestions?

9/21/2005 6:18:36 AM

dear god man. thats enough WoW for one lifetime.

9/21/2005 6:39:57 AM

^^ you could not be a pussy and play a class where you actually get hit

9/21/2005 7:53:52 AM

It takes me about 2 days played to get to lvl 30 I think. Having 2 lvl 60s is not all that hard, especially since the games been out for like a year.

Anyways, roll a feral druid. At lvl 60 cat form crits hit for over 1k dmg now. My druid is speced 31 rest, 7 balance, and 13 feral. Most feral druids go about 21 feral, 21 rest.

Yeah, I'll agree with that. Although, as a mage, there is absolutely nothing more fun then popping safe fall and floating from blacksmith down to mine, launching a POM'd pyroblast at a guy trying to cap the flag while on my way down. Coolest feeling in all of WoW.

Actually, not anymore. They seem to have fixed it that once the entire other team afk's out, you get kicked out of the instance. Happened to me the other day, we started the game with like 2 alliance in there, never got higher than 5, and by the time we'd gotten all 5 points they were all gone. Then, at around 1700 resources or so, we all got kicked out. No score screen, no bonus honor, just the loading screen back out to Arathi Highlands. Was about the gayest thing ever.

are you talking 48 hours or are you talking 2 normal days of play. cause thats quite a feat.

9/21/2005 9:59:34 AM

2-3 days of realtime

9/21/2005 10:16:44 AM

^^And can I send you the repair bills? Yeah, I do kinda like the classes where something else gets the beatdown, but with my respecced warlock my VW is doing much less tanking and more standing there watching me do all the work. Sadly I still play in the Carebear League so I am not too PvP minded even though I wouldn't mind getting into some.

Are you straight down affliction/demon?

Because you don't need destruction so much in PvE until you get to big boy instances.

9/21/2005 10:43:05 AM

Hey, what monitors do you all that are hardcore WoW players use?

I'm about to get a new LCD and I want to get something that won't make WoW look shitty. Any suggestions?

9/21/2005 10:59:17 AM

Just get a good monitor... 19" or larger.

9/21/2005 11:32:35 AM

Flat panel as well

9/21/2005 11:38:33 AM

I play it on a 19" Acer LCD with DVI.

Its awesome.

You get a timer that says not enough players, game will end in 5 minutes. We finished a couple last night with no horde remaining. Takes about 2 minutes to get all the nodes with everyone starting from your base. Then it takes just over a minute to get to 2000 at 30 resources a second.

[Edited on September 21, 2005 at 1:00 PM. Reason : no idea why it kicked you, never seen that happen...]

9/21/2005 12:59:43 PM

Killed the first hunter demon last night in ungoro.

Gonna hit up the winterspring one tonight hopefully.

9/21/2005 1:48:31 PM

A monitor big enough to run 1024x768 windowed and still sport half a screen for FF and IM + PIP HD Tv.

9/21/2005 2:34:57 PM

[excessive]

quick question somewhat related to wow: I am thinking about getting a second LCD identical to the one i have now. If I set up one massive desktop, can I have it run WOW 'full screen' on one of them? Or do I have to window it and just move it?

[Edited on September 21, 2005 at 2:43 PM. Reason : *]

9/21/2005 2:36:11 PM

Wait, did you just call my setup excessive?

ehe.

Yea you can run wow fullscreen on one monitor and do desktop on the other. Thats what I did when I had duelies instead of the one massive beast I have now. When you fullscreen wow, it maximizes only on the monitor the windowed game is in.

9/21/2005 2:46:09 PM

wewt thats exactly what I wanted to hear.

I dont mind being hypocritical in this case heh.

if you decide to set it up like this, just make sure WoW is set to run in windowed mode, and then also set to maximize the window. to clarify, both of these settings are in the video options in WoW. if you just run WoW on your main monitor it will black the secondary one out. if you set it up like i just explained it will be exactly what you are looking for.

I use dual monitors. One with full screen WoW and one with our server IRC channel for cross-faction drama updates.

9/21/2005 6:11:31 PM

19 inch LCD

15 inch LCD

dual

9/21/2005 10:10:13 PM

Hakkar's plague better not stop this weeks wow progress.

9/22/2005 4:02:16 PM

Need to start running UBRS and Strath to get the rest of my gear, but im actualy starting to look like a high lvl, would have never thunk it.

9/22/2005 7:39:43 PM

Got this tonight

And two other things:

9/23/2005 12:53:00 AM

9/23/2005 1:00:04 AM

9/23/2005 9:38:12 AM

OMFG ARMOR EL OH EL

9/23/2005 10:54:38 AM

When do they do ranking updates? I thought it was only on Tues. but I noticed yesterday my ranking progress bar was empty even though on Wed. night it was almost half way to corporal...which sucks cause it took damned near 3 weeks to get it up that high since no one on the server really plays WSG or AB in the 30-39 bracket on a reg. basis.

9/23/2005 2:41:15 PM

Warlock Armor = badass with random spikes and shit for no reason
Mage Armor = fruity fairy princess

Kinda makes me regret rolling a mage. Guilds full of FR gear really makes me regret it

btw, anyone on Gorefiend?

9/23/2005 3:19:38 PM

The Netherwind mage gear looks halfway decent.

9/23/2005 3:27:03 PM

New druid talents are fucking incredible.

9/23/2005 3:57:25 PM

Warlock's are badass mages.

You do know that right?

9/23/2005 4:24:22 PM

Yeah yeah..Mages are just walking talking Mountain Dew vending machines

9/23/2005 4:27:07 PM

Its funny how much Mages QQ:

"OMFG ALL IM GOOD FOR IS VENDING DRINKS"
"DESPITE THE FACT THAT I HAVE INSTANT AOE's"
"AND DEAL INSANE DAMAGE"
"IN ADDITION TO SHEEPING EVERYTHING"
"AND HAVING TWO STUPID BUBBLES"
"...."
"OK WE'RE ONLY PISSED BECAUSE WARLOCKS RAPE US"

9/23/2005 4:32:45 PM

2 bubbles if Frost Mage and 10 minute cooldown. Plus most AoEing requires us to get up close in their face, and we get shitloads of int and some stam instead of locks (tons stam, int)

BM Hunters, Warriors, Locks > Mages. Possibly Shadow Priests

[Edited on September 23, 2005 at 4:36 PM. Reason : P]

9/23/2005 4:33:52 PM

Oh please.

If I had that AOE I'd kill 4x as much as I do now, and I kill a lot now.

I mean is your class entirely useless without soulshards?

Oh wait.

You don't have soulshards.

9/23/2005 4:39:49 PM

The big thing that bugs me with mages is that when I duel them (with my lock) they only do 1 move: arcane missle or whatever that is. Since locks don't any reliable instant cast, I just sort of sit there and take 4 seconds or so on a 1.5 sec cast. I would love to see them give us a talent in destruction that gives us like 10-20% chance to not get interrupted when casting.

On a separate note, I hardly ever use shards b/c I am so used to not having them in PvP.

9/24/2005 4:19:59 AM

"BM Hunters, Warriors, Locks > Mages. Possibly Shadow Priests"

Ok, BM hunters every 2 minutes can kill a mage that isn't capble of burst dpsing the hunter to death, I can live with that. Lock's given time to get the proper pet out , has shards, and see's the mage coming (ie. in a duel) can kill a mage. Shadow priests are just a bitch for everyone, but I do so much damage now they are really not that big of a deal anymore. Warriors though man, just no. If you lose fights to warriors consistently, unless there is a huge gear discrepancy, you've got problems. There is absolutely no excuse, especially if you're a frost mage. Worst case scenario, just kite them with lvl 1 frostbolt while casting fireblasts. There is absolutely NOTHING they can do about that.

9/24/2005 10:31:00 AM

should get standing 1 again for this week. 1 more week after that...
