dinged 56 last night

11/5/2005 1:39:35 PM

If you want to go stock PVE raid only, 26/25 is the cookie cutter build that everyone uses. Most guilds will have 2 gimps go 31/20 to pick up divine spirit but chances are it doesn't have to be you.

It really is depressing

I'd let you use my Shaman or Mage, but I was told that you're having a hard enough time quitting as it is.

Plus, I think Shrike is going to be getting phat lootz on my priest anyway.

WoW is a pretty lame mmo really. I cannot think of a single thing to do at 60 that is fun anymore. It as if there are two separate games. WoW 1-59 and Wow at level 60.

It is sad to see top US guilds, where the players literally hate each other, held together only because everyone wants purples. Pretty funny when getting a piece of loot off of Nefarian feels no different to me than looting something off of Lucifron.

^well....i mean how many hours were spent having tons of fun leveling

i mean...youve got the exploration, some nice quetions, grouping, very cool visuals ... proffesions...battlegrounds

its not like you must get to 60 before the game begins

31 disc / 20 holy

that is all.

Battlegrounds as a priest is just like being a girl in the city at night. NEVER GO ANYWHERE ALONE. When I partner with a warrior, I stay far back and am usually not noticed. He becomes invulnerable due to me and I reap the HKs from him.

this game is sucking so bad i almost want to start up EQ again until vanguard comes out. at least EQ has some challenge and adventure to it even if the economy has been ruined and there are only max level people playing now.

11/6/2005 3:13:14 AM

I'm thinking about playing again..

11/6/2005 8:21:12 AM

if you think about it long enough, you'll be back...

11/6/2005 10:23:13 AM

epic raptor dropped for our raid last night, it looks cool as hell.

11/6/2005 10:46:30 AM

I understand very little of what is written on this page

11/6/2005 12:15:59 PM

i hate wsg.

11/6/2005 1:20:05 PM

^^i play the game and have very little idea what the people in this thread are talking about

11/6/2005 1:48:31 PM

^^ i hate wsg also, why couldn't it have been AB double honor?

11/6/2005 2:17:12 PM

How does one find out when the double points weekends are?

11/6/2005 3:17:06 PM

Battlegrounds Holiday
Holidays occur during most weekends, starting on Thursday night at midnight and continuing until Tuesday morning. During a holiday, emmissaries from that Battleground will be found in the major cities, and honor/faction rewards for performing objectives in that battleground are increased.

must.... resist.... reloading.... gah...

From the Rumor Mill:

Quote :

"Friend of a friend. "The people of Gilneas entombed themselves in their isolated peninsula at the outbreak of the Undead Scourge, erecting the Greymane Wall to keep out the demons and walking dead of the cursed army. To this day, refugees from the ravaged villages of Lordaeron gather at it, crying for safe haven from the Forsaken that now claim Silverpine Forest as their own. Yet it is not much better behind the wall. For agents of the crazed wizard Arugal have infiltrated the once-prosperous land and spread a dark curse among the populace. As the first tainted moon climbed into the sky, screams rendered the countryside as the inhabitants of Gilneas changed forms and became the crazed Worgen. Few retained their minds. Many became wild and bloodthirsty. Those who remained in control of their thoughts waged a war hidden from the eyes of the rest of the world, slaying former friends and family in an effort to preserve what little life still hoped for survival. Naming themselves the Nightcry after that first terrifying moonrise, they fought until they found themselves drained of resources and the will to continue the bloody battles alone. Unable to conceal their horrid existence from the world any longer, a new sun rises over Gilneas. The Alliance has opened its gates to the refugees and an effort is now underway to restore humanity to the Nightcry Worgen. As one of their number, you must prove yourself a capable ally to the Alliance's cause and master the powers granted to you against your will in order to free your land...no matter how much blood you must shed. alsiug: Their zone is south of Silverpine, and it's called Gilneas. It's a level 1-10 zone and the general flow of the quests there focuses on fighting Worgen and agents of Arugal, as well as various enraged species of wildlife. There's also a threat from a renegade navy that disbanded from Kul Tiras and is ravaging the coasts with cannonfire. The Greymane Wall is under lock and key and you are not allowed to pass through it until your mid-20s, when quests begin pointing you to Shadowfang Keep. Their 10-20 zone is on Kul Tiras, an island south of Gilneas and west of Menethil. It serves as a sister city to Menethil. One boat transports you between Gilneas and Kul Tiras, the other between Kul Tiras and Menethil. Kul Tiras is an island with strong navy tones and mood to it, and there's lots of crab-bashing and pirate-killing on it. After that, logically, you leave the protected areas and head to the contested zones. The closest, of course, is the Wetlands. No details about their play mechanics were leaked, so unfortunately there's no info about their racials. The expansion pack site had a URL like... http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/yaddayadda/bloodelves.html. Someone changed the URL around, plugging in various race names and eventually hit worgen.html. It was posted on the general post, but the URL was deleted within two minutes of the post. I myself saw it. All the images were broken, but the text was there. Take it as you will.""

11/7/2005 12:08:45 PM

w00t Gilneas representing

honestly though that doesnt sound very cool

i doubt they would really do that, isolating an entire race from the rest of the game until the mid-20's. Even if nothing else, that keeps them from using the auction house until that point.

11/7/2005 2:09:49 PM

^ well, it said there are boats that you can take to Kul Tiras and then Menethil, so it would seem that it's possible to get out of the zones, just not very convenient.

11/7/2005 2:21:01 PM

there are plans to link the AH in every capital city, so in the case that they are isolated till mid 20s...

they would still be able to use the AH

11/7/2005 2:23:33 PM

also, apparently Eyonix has confirmed that Wrynn will make his escape from Alcaz Island after 1.9...

and here he is:

11/7/2005 2:46:52 PM

^^that eliminates allowing one city to be the major hub

sucks for enchanters...but for everyone else its a good thing

11/7/2005 2:54:48 PM

everyone trying to start groups are still going to go to IF/Ogr anyway.
At least until they add a LFG system in patch 1.17+

11/7/2005 6:14:37 PM

Everyone roll horde on Mal'Ganis and join our uber guild

11/7/2005 7:48:56 PM

what uber guild is this?

11/7/2005 8:49:00 PM

Im thinking of rolling a horde hunter on a server.

^^ I see this but which server horde side has a lot of us on it? Id like to try out a PvP server. If anyone wants to roll an Alliance come to azjol-nerub and ill help you out.

11/7/2005 11:36:29 PM

I just rolled an undead mage on Kirin Tor a week or two ago. It's one of the new servers, but it's already starting to get pretty populated. It's a normal RP server, so if you're looking for that sort of server and you want to go horde, send me a /tell in game and I'll help ya out. Character's name is Brynnt.

article up on gamespy about the lore of warcraft, not sure how old it is.

http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/world-of-warcraft-expansion/662576p1.html

Quote :

"Possible Spoiler: Those heroes who sacrificed themselves to save Azeroth by closing the dark portal from the other side ... aren't dead. Yep, players will eventually be able to hook up with them. And Metzen promises that they'll be badass. "

Quote :

"Naturally one of the first questions was about the new un-announced Alliance race to be featured in the expansion. Metzen gave no hints, and implied that they're still working out all the details. But he did acknowledge that once everyone hears about the new race, part of it will make sense, and part of it will make everyone go "huh?" ...We can't even speculate. (But it won't be Pandas.)"

thank god for that

Quote :

"Finally, someone asked about Arthas. When are players going to get to beat him down? Metzen seemd to relish the prospect. "Oh yeah, he's gonna get his!" he said. But it's not going to happen anytime soon. "At level 70? No way!" Metzen said, "The game has to catch up to him." So yeah, that's one massive villain that players won't get to hammer on for quite some time... but he's out there, a looming presence, sneering in the distance. Someday friends! Someday. "

its an interesting read, those were the things that stuck out to me.

Well, an update on the new guy playing WoW after about two weeks. Ive got my Orc Shaman on Kael' thas up to 36, joined a guild that currently has about 130 people, usually 15-30 online at a time, got about 100g just from selling stuff at AH, having a good time. Had a discussion one day with some other state people who rolled on that server it seems about how bad we suck this year. I downloaded CTmod and I couldnt think of playing without, having all my spells on screen at once.

One question though, will CTmod and Cosmos butt heads if I intall both of them? I want to use a few cosmos addons but dont want to mess up what I have already with CTmod.

11/8/2005 12:01:49 PM

i got em both running^

my beef with CT mod is when your party members gets buffed/debuffed up the ass, it coveres up there life bars

11/8/2005 12:04:26 PM

cosmo is just a bloated hodgepodge of a bunch of other mods anyway -- just figure out which parts you want and download them seperately

11/8/2005 12:21:38 PM

I just realized that most of the mods I wanted for Cosmos are CTmod compatable, so Im set.

11/8/2005 1:16:17 PM

" just figure out which parts you want and download them seperately"

I have a shit ton of AddOns all from various mod packages. Every time I find something new that looks interesting I throw in in there and try it out. Im about to start messing with my UI. Ive just used the standard interface with a few minor tweaks so far. BTW download Khaos and not Cosmos if your going to try it out.

11/8/2005 2:13:18 PM

This game is pretty fucking badass.

Hopefully after its too old and everyone is running Linux, they'll make world of Starcraft

Sweet. I have always been fascinated with the notion of helping to rescue the king and return him to the throne.

11/8/2005 2:56:27 PM

Dont know if any of u guys are interested but im selling lvl 60 undead mage on Emerald Dream(rppvp) server w/ 480 gold for a reasonable price- let me know if you are interested - AIM pls

11/8/2005 3:01:11 PM

i wonder how they could return the king to the throne in SW without messing up the current Alliance Onyxia key quest?

11/8/2005 3:18:21 PM

Maybe they'll get rid of the onyxia quest?

11/8/2005 3:22:43 PM

so what would be considered rich by wow standards? Im on a server that is about 3 weeks old, most of my guildmates have 0-20g and I have close to 100, all I hear is that Im so rich compared to everyone else, when all I do is just sell stuff I get from drops.

Also, what would be the point of buying a mount as a shaman? What else do mounts do for you besides speed increase? Since I have wolf form if its only speed increase then I have no need for a mount correct?

11/8/2005 7:41:52 PM

Mounts are much faster than ghost wolf.

11/8/2005 7:49:03 PM

Lvl 40 mounts are 60% faster than normal run speed, epic mounts are 100% faster.

Rich is all relative to the server. On mine, I'd call you upper class if you have over 1000g and already have your epic mount.

11/8/2005 8:11:33 PM

im 57 and have 300g. not doing too well if you ask me.

11/8/2005 11:05:18 PM

yeah, "rich" by level 60 standards is a few thousand gold.

11/8/2005 11:10:02 PM

im 56 and have 180 and i have just as much as other ppl around my level that i know. it sucks but i dont think im far behind
