My sole source of frustration in WoW at the moment is figuring out who steps into Northrend first. The fortunes of each of those classes has changed so much and so often in beta that the decision may come right down to the wire.

Sadly, I just have a lvl 10 Orc Shaman and a lvl 15 Blood Elf Rogue, both living on Vashj at the moment.

We are currently raiding Hyjal (still don't have my stupid T6 hat), Black Temple and Sunwell. Both Hyjal and BT are on farm. Hopefully we are going to finish up before Wrath.

I'm not even going to continue to play...I would delete all my characters but It's not worth it for $15.

:(We are currently raiding Hyjal (still don't have my stupid T6 hat), Black Temple and Sunwell. Both Hyjal and BT are on farm. Hopefully we are going to finish up before Wrath.

That is awesome! The guild that I'm in is just now stepping into BT and Hyjal. If we're lucky, we may have a few bosses down in each (we've only downed Rage so far) by the time Wrath comes out. It's a shame that we'll miss out on the later bosses in both of those plus all of Sunwell. :(

Just like fishbang, I don't which character I'll be taking forward as my main once Wrath hits. I guess we'll have to wait and see how things settle up towards the end of the beta.

Ok my fellow WoW enthusiasts. We can't let those WAR nooblets monopolize these forums. Let's use this thread to talk about our experiences, thoughts, or just get our character info out there.

My characters are the following:

You're on the WRONG SIDE of SC, sir.

I'd say you guys still have a chance at getting Hyjal and some of BT down. Really if you can get a group to down Archimonde properly you only need worry about gear for BT.

From what I hear Druids aren't getting a whole lot of anything. I know a lot of the Druids in my guild are talking about switching mains. I will probably just stay on my lock.

My main is a druid and outside of glyphs to get new cat and bear forms (cosmetic only) there actually isn't much to look forward to, you're right. Between being underwhelmed with druids in WoW and having a blast with WAR I'm contemplating not even getting Wrath.

I have two 70s and a soon to be 60, too but I just can't get excited about it. Sure, Wintergrasp looks freakin awesome, but I don't want to push out 10 levels just to PvP. It's not that I don't like leveling, it's actually my favorite part of the game, but I've learned from several tries that raiding just isn't for me and neither are arenas...the BGs are stale at this point so it was Wintergrasp for endgame. This would be the case even WAR wasn't in the picture.

I fail with the new multi quote button and am being incredibly lazy (hey it's late or early or whatever) but here you go.

Yeah I sort of feel bad for Druids but Locks aren't really getting anything exciting either. :( And I can completely understand not enjoying raiding. I've been playing WoW off and on since the day it came out and have only (the last year or so) really started to enjoy the idea of structured raiding. It helps quite a bit to be in a guild with people who are like minded and all aged relatively the same.

If PvP is your thing then I would just stick to WAR. As far as PVP goes I think they got just about everything right in that game.

HUH? Resto druids get flourish, massive buffs to treeform, and greatly enhanced ability to solo.

Floorkins get remarkably better threat mitigation, tons of buffs on our core abilities, and some very interesting mechanics that make us have to think about spell rotation instead of 2/1/1'ing it or wrathspam.

[mightbe]

Locks get demon form and a swath of new spells, as well as a new pet type. This plus always instant corruption makes locks a very streamlined and easy to level yet remarkably deep class.

My sole source of frustration in WoW at the moment is figuring out who steps into Northrend first. The fortunes of each of those classes has changed so much and so often in beta that the decision may come right down to the wire.

I've decided that I'm probably leveling my paladin first (as prot/ret) and probably will get the majority of my XP from instance runs.

If I didn't have the amazing group that I run with, I'd probably level my druid (as feral) for the incredibly small amount of downtime they have while grinding.

I'm trying to organize a raid on SC to be the first folks on the server to take the outdoor PvP objective when WotLK goes live.

[Arilin]

Well like I posted in the other thread I started, before I saw this one which was like a whole three lines from the top.

70 Warrior/Hunter, 60/Shaman/Lock/Paladin.

Right now I'm on the PTR with my warrior and jesus prot is amazing now.

Currently on live i'm a 17/44 DW Fury warrior. He's got about 9k ac, can hit 1900-2000ap self buffed, 114HR, I do pretty decent damage.

At anyrate, with PTR I went with a 8/53 spec (8 points fury, the rest dumped prot), and jesus. His crit is about 18%, while my DW Fury set is about 28. So that's a loss but his AP is about 1840. Not much of a drop? Yeah, armor? about 16k ac with my tank gear on.

Hp is near 12k as well. It's money, and it's going to be sick, heh. I'm just sorry all my good gear is pvp/dps shit. My tank gear is passable for MT in Kara, but that's about it.

Bleys - 70 Troll Priest

I just came back to the game after I got burned out trying to raid and finish up school. I recently switched over to Alliance to play with some friends after a long and upstanding Horde career, so it's been like a whole new game.

[fishbang]

I love the druid a great deal, but every bit of research from beta indicates that feral is getting buffed, either directly or indirectly, in an effort to ease the tank burden, and that resto is getting hammered to reduce (admittedly unreasonable) druid domination in arenas. But, as always, there's a lot of fundamental bleed-over between the two, and you can't "fix" one without souring the other, it seems.

I may be one of the few people to say it, but I actually enjoy raid and group healing a lot, so that's what I was looking forward to in the xpack. Maybe I'd like tanking more in LK, I dunno. Crushing blows from raid bosses are gone (huzzah!), threat is up, swipe is full frontal cone effect (not limited to 3 targets), bonus armor values have been removed from all leather items, and we can now become crit immune through talents alone, so the gear-chase prior to the raid game is going to be more manageable - just stack +hit, agility and stam!

Still, I dunno. I always liked priest healing in classc WoW, but hated the uselessness of a holy build and healing gear outside of raids. But now, with spellpower unification and the triviality of daily respecs, it might be the thing for me once again.

And then there's that frost mage I love so much...

[Troggles]

Floorkins get remarkably better threat mitigation, tons of buffs on our core abilities, and some very interesting mechanics that make us have to think about spell rotation instead of 2/1/1'ing it or wrathspam.

Flourish, or rather Wild Growth as it is called now, is a joke. They recently nerfed it to only do 25% of the healing it was doing before. Right now it does less healing than Circle of Healing, and has a higher mana cost. Not only that, but as it is a HoT, most of that healing gets overwritten by other classes direct heals. So it heals for less than CoH, and then even less so after that. Nourish is also a joke. Right now, the best healing for Resto druids is to stack up on all the talents that enhance regrowth and get the glyph that increases the initial heal of regrowth by 20% if the target all ready has the regrowth HoT. Some of the highest single-target HPS there is right now.

Undermine (PvE)

Xastra - 70 Draenei Shadow Priest

Anyone have a good server for alliance PvE I can transfer to? I'm floating in the ether right now with no solid guild or anything and need a new home (with people who actually still play the damn game, instead of inviting me in just as they're quitting).

[Karmakin]

Sen'Jin

Karmakin--70 Dwarf Hunter (PEWPEW)
Karmaze--70 Night Elf Druid (I be a tree. All hail me. 1900+Heals. My current main)
Cydonian--17 Draneai Warror (Currently leveling with my wife)
KarmaJudged--21 Human Paladin (My solo leveling project)

I spend most of my time healing on my druid. The expansion is kinda worrying me because I think my current play style (buffer heals. I'll throw up a few hots when you grab aggro before you get hit so they're ticking while you take damage. It's kind of like a Protection Healer Guild Wars style), just won't work after the expansion.

But we'll see.

[digitalErich]

All of this druid talk just shows why I'm not exicted about Wrath...nerfs or buffs it's all under the hood. Now, I'm as guilty as you can be with theorycrafting and number crunching for my character, but you aren't going to sell me an expansion based on the math of buffs.

I want new and fun abilities and ways to play my class. Other classes are getting this to be fair (and DKs look amazingly fun), but my main isn't. The plan right now to is to check out WAR's endgame when I get there and if it's lacking I'll pick up Wrath.

[Arilin]

Blizzard isn't going to purposely gimp one class. They're all fun in their own ways, lord knows I have plenty of characters, and they all are fun in their own way.

We're still a month out. Gives people time to try things out and see where we stand.

Server - Thunderhorn

Rollingbeard - Dwarf Hunter (70)
Hannzz - Dwarf Warrior (70)
Growltiger - Night Elf Druid (70)
Dochorrible - Human Warlock (14)

Currently my Hunter is my main but I think in WotLK I'm going to take the Druid up first. That's all dependent on how re-speccing is handled as I'm not going to even try and farm on a full resto Druid. I'm masochistic, but not that much.

[total]

Locks get demon form and a swath of new spells, as well as a new pet type. This plus always instant corruption makes locks a very streamlined and easy to level yet remarkably deep class.

Most of the new spells sit in the demo and afflic tree. Demon form looks to be fun for PVP and that's about it. I'm not sure where you are seeing a new pet type but I haven't read anything about that. Do you have a link for that?

As it stands for raiding locks it looks to be quite a nerf. ISB is now a self buff instead of a raid buff AND it caught a nerf. As it stands I am seeing a good raid spec being imp fire proc plus destro. I doubt very much you will be seeing locks dominating raids like they were in TBC.

LordDon and I are in the same guild over on Scarlet Crusade. We never really were on the cutting edge of content, but we have a great group of people. At the moment things are just as slow here as most guild, but there's no quit in us. Once WotLK comes out I am sure a lot of our regulars (myself included) will return.

Troggles, do you guys still raid on weekends or certain nights of the week? I'm a "new" level 70, I don't have a single bit of gear from any raids whatsoever (I've never even done an instance past Mauderon). So your guys will have to help gear me up. I'm willing to respec to Holy if that helps (but I really love shadow, especially with the changes in WotLK coming up).

Edit: You can check my gear here:

[Troggles]

Raiding has barely happened in the last month or so due to the launch of WotLK. This same exact thing happened right before BC too, so I'm not entirely worried about it killing off my guild. It's a fun group of people, and I've met most of the veteran members in real life and they are really cool. It's also not that hard to get a good Karazhan group going, or to do some heroics. I hate to say it, but there's not a whole lot of incentive to get players geared up right now as all that gear will be worthless in just over a month.

I suggest you throw up an app before doing a transfer so I can throw in a good word for you. In sponsors you can count me in on that. Use the name Crythia for me there. They generally look for people are are ready to read now, but I should be able to get you in.

[Arilin]

The guild i'm currently in is barely holding on. We're clearing kara, mags, gruuls, and have done like 3 ZA bosses. Not to indepth, but the GM is a 17-18 year old kid, and acts like it. So that's probably my biggest annoyance. I still have a guild my banker is in, that I may just end up starting up after Wrath is out again. Just not sure if I want to run another guild (having done so in the past).

Actually, from playing WotLK. I didn't find the gear = garbage thing as true as it was during the BC switch.

[Troggles]

I don't think that gear will be swapped out quite as easily in the early levels as it was in BC, but in the end game, the only part of the game that matters for me, I don't see any of my current gear being useful at all.

Garona Server - It was tagged in the 'old' WoW thread as the place to be for EvAvers, it is a VERY quiet PvE server.

My only worthwhile toon is a Level 61 Retribution Dranei Paladin that I'm working on getting to 70, I've toyed with other builds but haven't gotten them past 20 or so. I did just 'recruit' a buddy and am trying to figure out what to go with to benefit from 3x XP and the other benefits.

I heart the RAF thing. So very handy, and I shall waste my life doing it till it wears out.

[QueQueg]

Quick question from a former player who quit right before BC came out (leaving 4 60s behind) just out of curiosity.

Does anyone bother to run MC, BWL, ZulGurub, and Naxx anymore, or do they just grind right past 60 to get to the new end-game?

[Goronmon]

[Troggles]

Go Scarlet Crusade! I'm in the same ship as you GunnyMo. I haven't played seriously in the last month or so (just got on to sell off all the stuff I won't need in WotLK), but I'm looking to get back into it just before WotLK hits.

No kidding. I was working the end game raid gear late and realized, "What's the point?" As soon as Lich comes out, I'll find better drop gear than what I'm raiding for so why waste the time? Besides, I play MMOs more for the questing and storyline than the endless raiding hours even with great guilds. Plus, I can only grind rep so much.

I love my Tankadin and my Shammy but I can only run around doing the same ol' same ol' for so long.

[Troggles]

I'm with you. Not only do I find raiding pointless right now, but it's impossible to get a raid going with the current mentality of most players. All of my upgrades are in T5 content or above so I can't just throw a group together for that. I'm usually up for running the random heroic still. Even though I get no benefit from it, they are quite fun.

[GunnyMo]

I really love the exploration aspects. BC was awesome the first months especially when I stopped running Outland with my 60+ and started the Shammy.

I remember when the Scars of Velious came out for EQ back in the day. Those first few hours of being among the first on our server to hit those snowy shores was a lot of fun. I look forward to similar exploration in Lich.

Just started playing a week ago so I don't have any notable characters yet. It's too bad there isn't an official CoG server, cause it sure is lonely. You'd think with more than 10million players there would be at least one other character in the same zone as me. ;)

I propose we choose a server and re-roll. Hard. Re-roll. If we all play together and develop the guild it will be fun. Like our own wow child. a spawn of cog or something. up the notoriety of the place.

As much as that would rock, I think it would be pretty hard to convince most people to re-roll so soon after an expansion for the end game came out. :(

[Shjinta]

I'm rolling on the Drenden server, alliance. I just got my shaman to 80. Deciding on which of my other 70s to level next.

[IIntrude]

My Shaman made 80 a few weeks back and switched to Resto. So far I have been happily healing Arch, Naxx 10, and OS runs. Good times. Trying to decide if I want to raise up my fury warrior or rogue next.

[Blue]

After being clean for about 3 or so months, I'm getting the terrible itch to re-sub. It's quite honestly all I've been thinking about over the past week. My nephew showed me his Death Knight while I was over at my brother's for Christmas and I just keep salivating at the thought of playing again.

I figured I could hold off until after the slew of games I got over the holidays were beaten but that's taken a good deal less time than I had originally figured and my willpower is waning something fierce.

[at the metro]

Server - Sentinels
Kattianna lvl 70 Fire Mage
Kassidy lvl 50 Ret Pally

I tried to level a Death Knight but I really had no attachment to the character and couldn't get interested. I like levelling up though. Working on my Paladin right now and thoroughly enjoying it, although every Paladin on my server seems to be ret spec and I'm getting tired of grouping with them. No one seems to enjoy a little old caster these days!

Can anyone recommend a good PvP server?

[Arilin]

My deathknight hit 80 a few weeks ago, and has been raiding since. Naxx is quite enjoyable. Deciding what to work on next in between raids and tradeskill leveling.

You can tell by the names I take this game seriously! :)

I've re-rolled the DK several times trying to decide between Orc or BE. I think I am sticking with BE since I spent the last few days leveling up my fishing/cooking to ~400/350. I have skinning close to 400 too for the whole 15 points of crit rating. I've already gone to Borean Tundra for the Grand Master skill (obviously) and managed to out run any mob that chased me to the trainer. :)

I'm debating about leveling herbalism but I did that with one other DK that I deleted. It's a pain in the arse to go back to the lowbie zones and run herbalism circuits. I made about 300 gold doing it but it took me a few days. Maybe later when I get bored. That, or work on enchanting now that enchants can be sold in the AH.

I did my first Fishing Extravaganza today but didn't win anything. It was a lot of fun and I will probably be doing them every Sunday.

As for other Characters, I have several lower levels, a couple of Taurens, Beethooven and Johnstamoos on Duskwood and other level 20-45's on a few different servers.

If anyone decides to start a CoG get together on a server I would be up for making even another alt. I think I have a character or two on Scarlet Crusade if I didn't delete them. They had normal names since SC is a RP server.

You know you don't have to use the little symbols, yeah?

I just re-subbed to see what all the fuss was/is about. Got a Death Knight to 59 before I realized I'm not a huge fan of them. They're not bad and I enjoy handled three enemies at once without breaking a sweat, but I don't have much invested in the guy. By the time I'm in Hellfire, I should have spent at least a decent chunk of time with my character and when the DKs start at 55, that's just hard to do. I understand the point behind it, but it's just hard to find myself attached to him when my others I've gone through 70 levels + raids with. I dunno. Maybe I'll give him another shot as time goes on.

Anyhow, I took my Druid to Northrend for the first time last night (just started up again yesterday) and I really enjoy the design of everything so far. It's a nice change of pace, though I'm thinking the ice motif could get old like the stuff in Outland does/did after a bit (although the Tundra is already leaps and bounds better than Hellfire). I'm exactly half-way through 70 and am having a really good time questing thus far.

We'll see how long it holds. I also happen to like the Walrus people quite a bit.

How is tanking with the DK?

It kind of feels weird seeing a class able to tank without a Shield.

[jacob.armitage]

How is tanking with the DK?

It kind of feels weird seeing a class able to tank without a Shield.

Druids can tank without a shield also.

the Frost DK has some great damage reduction abilities (and excellent one target DPS) and the blood DK can restore his health pretty effectively when dealing damage. unholy DK's have their pet & AoE to keep their threat up. they all have excellent parry chance.

they work pretty well, i've heard around the camp fire that the frost is the best for tanking, but i've partied with all three trees fulfilling the tank roll quite effectively.

[Troggles]

Right now, Unholy is king of the crop for DK tanking. Bone Shield is just too damn good. Of course, it's getting nerfed, so it will be brought down a bit to Frosts level of tanking. Blood is getting buffed too so it will be actually usable for raid tanking.

Tanking as a DK is not much different than other classes really. I run in, hit the mobs, they die, we get loot. Basically stack defense gear and then get a nice dps 2h for threat and you're golden. The best 2h for tanking in the game is the Inevitable Defeat, a trash drop from Naxx25. I got it a couple days ago and my threat increased by a ton.

[Goronmon]

Hit 80 on my hunter. Geared up a bit over the weekend and hopefully will get a spot in the guild raids this week. Doubt I'll get anything though since I'm at the bottom of the "who gets loot" list.

[IIntrude]

Doubt I'll get anything though since I'm at the bottom of the "who gets loot" list.

:( I hate those kind of guilds. If you show up for a raid and contribute you should get a chance at the gear.

I've been in Naxx 10 several more times working on clearing it and we are doing very well. We knock down Arch and OS each week and progress steadily through Naxx. I got my T7 shoulders the other night and a few other pieces as well. Currently decked out as such. Contemplating having another sex change in game to see what I would look like in this gear. Can't decide which I like best.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y220/I_Intrude/Resto.jpg

[Goronmon]

:( I hate those kind of guilds.Actually, I love this guild, and we did use to have a completely random roll for loot (even in SSC, TK and Hyjal), but occasionally stupid stuff would happen. Like a newer guildmate who was on his first raid. Had some pretty bad gear, yet rolled and won the Dragonspine Trophy, which so many people wanted and it was the only time it dropped for our guild. Kicker is he quit WoW the day after he got it.

Even now it's just a suicide kings implementation. Once you get a piece of loot you get booted to the bottom of the list. Assures that the people who attend can at least occasionally come away with a piece of gear they want, while making it fairly easy for new people to get to the top of the list. Plus, I'm one of the few raiding hunters so my loot priority is pretty high even if I'm technically low on the overall list.

[iHap]

I was pretty pissed off yesterday. My brother invited me to tank heroic drak'tharon keep so I quickly jumped on and it seemed like a good droup...or so I thought. At every boss fight I died, not getting the heroic achievement. I almost died on a 3mob trash too, and then again actually wiping on trash because the idiot healer walked into 2 other mobs. FacePalm. And to top it ephing off, it turns out he's specced Tank WTF, and he stole Keystone Great-Ring (http://www.wowhead.com/?item=37784) I mean...WTF was he thinking, a tank specced druid healing a heroic, then stealing something that I called dibs on. I REALLY HATE PUGS!

[IIntrude]

:( Sry to hear that iHap. We had a similar experience with some new dps in the guild last night.

We were doing Naxx 10, clearing Spider and Military and 10 man OS. We were 2 healing it, myself and a Priest. Several times throughout the night 3 of our dps wouldn't be attacking the priority target and ended up pulling aggro, needless to say they dropped quicker than a pornstar's panties.

Then in turn they look at us healer and give us the good ole' "wtf healers." It took them a few deaths and finally the RL pointing out their issues to keep them up the entire fight.

I have never had so much fun, than I am right now as a Shaman healer. I just respeced to Mining and Engineering yesterday and hit 300 on both last night, so I am finally enjoying some professions now with the mining changes.

[Squidbot]

Friends don't let friends do PUGs.

[Troggles]

Finally finished Naxx10 last night. The Sapphiron fight is pretty fun. I was delegated to being a DPS on this fight, and as a DK tank spec, with mostly blues and a few epics and my frost resist gear, I ended up 2nd on our damage meter. I was only 1% away from 1st too.

[Blue]

My druid is nearing 78 so I'm finally getting near the end-cap mark. Is Naxx10 to WotLK what Kara was to TBC? In the first expansion I was pretty up on what the "end game" dungeons were and what I would need to run to gear up for Kara but I'm pretty ignorant of anything having to do with WotLK for some reason. Maybe it's because my friends aren't really playing as much so I'm soloing more and will be working on things through PUGs and my own so I don't have other people to snag info from.

There's a part of me that enjoys that though having to discover everything fresh. At the moment I'm feral but will be switching to resto for raiding and end-game and whatnot. The changes to +spell dmg have made it better when trying to solo resto and it's far less obnoxious and manageable so hopefully I'll still be able to do dailies too with some regularity. I'm still about 4k short of my epic flyer :( Bah!

[Karmakin]

It's a bit different than it was in TBC. Naxx is to what Kara is, but there are some other options. Once you hit 80, you should start looking gor groups for 10/25 man Vault (The Wintergrasp raid). It'll take about 20 minutes to do, and it's pretty easy. There's a chance of getting Tier and PvP gear in there, it can be any piece.

As well, there's also Obsidium Santum, which is pretty easy as well, at least the 10 man version with no drakes.

But starting out, run some level 80 dungons to get your bearings, then start heroics. I'd highly suggest Nexus, as it's not too hard and there's a sweet healing mace drop off the last boss.

Finally, there's two SWEET crafted epics that you can get, Earthliving Pants and Boots that have tons of the stats that resto Druids need (Spirit and Spellpower). Go farm the mats and get them made as soon as you can. It'll be a huge jump towards the power you need to start Naxx.

[Shieldmaiden]

Naxx 10 is kinda like Kara, but technically easier to gear for.

Basically, LK progression goes:

80 dungeon

Naxx 10/Heroic dungeon

Naxx 25

The problem is, everyone wants to do heroics as soon as they hit 80, but they are just as hard as Naxx 10, with even greater personal responsibility. I curse Blizzard for making the gear in the 80 dungeons (CoT: Strat, UP, Occulus, HoL) equippable at 78 because it means no-one wants it.

The best advice I can give is to start hitting those four dungeons now and try and get kitted out in 78+ blue gear. This has the added benefit of getting your rep up, making lovely faction gear available. If you can ding 80 with 78 blue gear, you'll be head and shoulders above all the noobs who think they can do heroics with quest reward greens.

[Troggles]

I'd put OS 10/25 before Naxx as well. It's really easy (unless you are doing Sartharion with drakes up, then it becomes the hardest). Malygos 10/25 comes after Naxx for obvious reasons.

[Goronmon]

Finally my hunter looks decent enough for me to post an updated screenshot.

Ugh I know that all to well, the other day I grouped with a bunch of pugs, as a tank I've gone through most of the heroics already, and most of the time have had an amazing healer, but this one time in Nexus H the healer let me die on all the boss fights, and once or twice on trash. From now on I look at wowarmory to check the healers gear before I do anything.

[Shieldmaiden]

Wrath will suck your life away like a life sucking vampire bitch. I had completely lost faith in Blizzard doing anything but more of the same and thought they were resting on their laurels. Then Wrath came along and it is made of awesome.

I still think they're lagging behind LOTRO in terms of features that I'd like to see, but I think that's my roleplayer side talking.

[Libuke]

I recently got sent (like everyone probably who hasn't bought wrath) 10 day trail of wrath and I have been think that yes I think I would like to try it, my questions is 10 enough to figure out if I will enjoy it?

Yah I have 2 70's so I will be able to check out northrend right away. Exploring and seeing new things is my favourite part of MMO's and WAR has not fight that very well and pvp is acctually not as good as I hoped as most people just run around point and keep capping and try and avoid actually fighting other players. Teir 4 may be better but I don't know if I'll make it running out of interest.

LOTRO was pretty good for exploring but something about it just didn't keep me playing.

[Troggles]

I had spent about 4 months away from WoW when Wrath hit, and only picked it up because I had some extra cash on me. I promised myself I'd only play a Death Knight, thinking I'd sign on here and there for the next few months leveling up to 80. I was 80 by the end of the next week and am now one my guild's MTs. We've done everything up to Maly25, and I can't stop playing.

[MrBibbz]

I'm on Vashj with a few others like Mashidar and Grandepollo.

My toons - Dandrence 80 hunter and Sarokos - 70 paladin.

[NSFW]

[edit:] nevermind my laptop can't run wow. I do get some interesting graphics glitches when I play though.

[Mashidar]

Right now I've been with Bibbz and a few other folks on the Vashj server. At the moment my toons stand at..

-Eutin 80 Troll Elemental/Resto Shammy
-Satsugai 80 Blood Elf Blood DK
-Etin 71 Undead Fury Warrior
-Dayna 48 Blood Elf Hunter

I've really enjoyed playing so far and our guild is small when placed next to other guilds but we are making progress and we are having fun overall. Interested in joining up just look for one of the names above or any of Bibbz or other folks on our server and we can get you to group up.

"An Corp"

*Resurrects thread*

Anybody still playing these days?
I hit level 80 with my Undead Mage a few weeks ago and have been slowly gathering a few epics.

I got a lucky roll on a 25 man Sartharion run and won my Valorous Frostfire Gloves, and I also got the pants a few days later with a roll of 7. The only other guy going for them got a 2. :)
I've also finally gotten a new weapon in the form of The Soulblade from Kel'Thuzad in 10 man Naxx.

I'm also currently in the process of getting my Blood Elf Pally to 80. I'm at 72 at the moment.

[iHap]

Been playing lots recently. Been going to Naxx every weekend and getting geared up for Ulduar. I have 4/5 T7, and a bunch of Naxx gear.

[mightbe]

After clearing all of the current content on Scarlet Crusade, our guild ran into a wall of not being able to recruit anymore and being stuck on an RP server and horde side means a very limited raiding talent pool to pull from.

The "solution" has been a 30+ person reroll to Kilrogg (PvE, Alliance). So if anyone is interested in starting an fresh alliance character up and wants a thriving lowbie and DK guild full of dick and fart jokes, look us up in the guild <Plan B>.

Now I must try and keep Drew from strangling me.

EDIT: I'm usually on my DK Human Flowana on Kilrogg.

[SilentScreams]

Our server is awful for Horde...It's about 13k population, 27% of which is Horde.
Very hard to get groups going on a consistent basis.

[mightbe]

The real problem with Horde is that unless you want to play on a PvP server, you'll never have the depth that a multitude of Alliance sides have.

And I'm completely over PvP servers. Except for ganking people in STV with my Goatgirl.

I got the chest piece for my Feral Cat Druid from 25manVOA night before last, and I'm still pretty psyched for that. I've hardly been touching the game, though, unless my girlfriend says something like "I'm doing a run and there's room, want to go?" or "Wintergrasp is about to start, want in on a raid?".

As for servers, I play on Rivendare, which seems to be a bit of a newer server, and Horde greatly outnumbers Alliance on it. I love it 8-P.

Damn extended maintainence on the EU realms. Can't get on for another half hour at least.

Not that I really have much to log on for. I don't have the gold for dual specs, and even if I did, it's pretty pointless for a Mage anyway.
Not to mention the fact that Mages got nothing good as usual.

What are you talking about? You're got reduced mana recovery to look forward to! (See the patch notes in Classes:General section).

[SilentScreams]

Ahh yes. Gotta love that spirit nerf.
We got some half decent Glyphs, but nothing worth replacing my Evocation/Mana Gem/Arcane Blast trio for.

The funny thing is that unless I'm mistaken, if I get all the mana regen stuff I can, my in combat mana regen will actually be higher than my out of combat regen.

How may people here are on the same server on Alliance side?
I'm sitting on a 17 Night Elf Druid that I would *love* to level, but I'm having problems moving along.

I'd love to join a dozen or so of you in game, seeing as none of my real life friends would ever consider Alliance.

[Camel]

The new Tournament daily quests are pretty amazing.
How so? Cutting down trees and hitting a target with a lance don't seem all that amazing. I guess having duels while on a mount are pretty fun, though!

You're always welcome to join the Alliance over on Scarlet Crusade. I don't know if anyone else plays there (LordDon did at one time in my guild, unbeknownst to either of us :P), but I have a really laid back, casual raiding guild making a little bit of headway into Ulduar.

Of course, they're really focusing on recruiting 80s at this point to bolster are raiding core, but if you think you'll be going for end game content and plan on being the best you can be, it's hard to say no to that.

I may or may not have rolled an blue toon (don't fucking tell beth, she'll kill me) and I'm kinda liking it. The problem is, you can't find a PvE server without a queue to log with a deep enough talent pool to raid the way I like to on horde side.

Hoping Killrog (PvE-A) works out for us.

[Goronmon]

I really want to try playing on a horde PVP server some time. I don't know why, but that's just the urge I have right now.Not sure it's worth bothering. When I was playing WoW in the early days, PvP servers were fun. There was world PvP and fights broke out everywhere.

By the time BC had been out for a while, the only people who PvPed in the open world were gankers. Rarely was there any large scale stuff, and most of the time it was just people getting jumped while questing.

[Troggles]

I leveled up a warrior Alliance side on a PVP server. It was pretty fun, but I really want to try a horde some time.

[OldeWolf]

The reason why I love pvp server as a rogue is because if some ally asses wants to steal my kills or be a general ass to me, I just get my lv 70 rogue and wipe their faces on the ground with a back stab or two. :D
Keep doing it until they don't come back.
Can't do that on a non-pvp server ;)

I missed this post my first time through.
But when I restart the game in a week or two, I'll surely do this.

I'd love to join a guild, even if it's so I can listen to people talk/have some people to associate with, and if I ever get the Druid to 80, I'll most definitely be interested in raiding, but it's not something I can promise in any certain time frame.

[DigitalFirefly]

Nearly at level 68. Trying to decide if I should stay in Outland until I'm done with the zones, or move to Northrend at 68.

[OldeWolf]

If you go to northrend at lv 70, quests will be interesting and easier (my opinion at least). Plus Outland zones have some interesting places to see and do till lv 70. Then again. I was lv 70 before Northrend came out.

[Troggles]

Nearly at level 68. Trying to decide if I should stay in Outland until I'm done with the zones, or move to Northrend at 68.

Go there. Now. You'll probably get to 70 in half a zone and have no problem hitting 80 before running out of quests. I did this on my DK and Priest and both of them leveled to 80 before touching Storm Peaks or Icecrown.

[DigitalFirefly]

I've only done Hellfired and Zangarmarsh in Outland. I still have like 4 or 5 zones left there. Are they worth sticking around for? I'm leaning towards at least doing 1 more zone. Then going to Northrend.

[diablopath]

Nagrand was fun, but as for the the other three, I wasn't too impressed with.

Nagrand is pretty cool. The rest are skippable (especially BEM and Terokkar). The quest chains in Northrend are infinitely more interesting than Outlands, as well.

Yeah healers and magic DPS can do pretty much everything but Ulduar as soon as they hit 80. It's the poor melee suckers who have to gear up.
My Mage was the same way. The day I hit 80, I did Naxx 10. And my Pally healed it the day after he hit 80 (in mostly Ret gear).

It's really unfair in the melee classes, but screw them. :D

I still love my Warrior Tank and all...but i even made my friend who is a fully epic geared pally healer jealous of how much i was healing for.

Here are the logs if anyone wants to check it out. We ran a bunch of alts/new people so is to why the DPS is low from some people.

Rendorac/Andaris is tanking.

Shorae/Dntstndnfire is healing.

Ugh, I resubbed a week and a half ago, but haven't been able to play because anytime I try patching to 3.1, it tells me there's an error with one of the map files. I've tried at least 8 different work arounds but no go. Not even a tech support call could help me. I really need to go demand a refund on this month. :(

Three weeks after my mage hit 80, I was raiding Ulduar 25 (either the day it came out, or the day after, I can't remember which). We downed XT and Razorscale that week, actually. Still, loot makes a pretty big difference, even for mages. After being in Ulduar for a few weeks my DPS has shot up from like 3k to about 5k; I could still use some work though, I'm one piece of 8/8.5 from having my four piece bonus.

Started working on a new Gnome Death Knight the other day. I named her Microbe :p

Yeah gear does definitely help us, but what I was saying is we don't live or die by it as much as some classes do.
Hell, my brother's Warrior had to get 25k health and 560 defence before anyone would even take him to any HC, let alone raids.
I personally blame the emphasis on AoE tanking that WotLK seems to have brought to the fore. Nobody wants to take the time to mess around with CC anymore, so you need a highly durable tank.
I don't think I've even used Polymorph in PvE since WotLK came out.

Wooh, my guild got Mimiron down tonight. Then we got our first attempt on Vez... that one didn't go so well. But we do have a solid strategy for Mim, so I doubt he'll be giving us much trouble anymore. We still struggle with Thorim, having only downed him twice, but most of the Watchers are our bitches now.

Well done! That's a tough fight :)

Three weeks after first setting foot into U10, our humble re-roll guild has cleared it. We've just now got enough regulars for full guild 25s so I don't think they'll be too far behind.

Area 52 is the server where a few of us are playing Horde, currently. It's PvE, I believe, and we have a few of us (myself included) working on lower-level characters. Give a shout if you end up rolling there :)

I'm tempted, though I must say I have a preference for PvP. I guess this would also involve resubscribing for the first time in ages.

It's nice to see that my old server (Spinebreaker) has gone from very low population to high and, even better, there's a massive imbalance favoring Horde :D
edit: and that Masi Oka apparently used to play on it!

[Squidbot]

Some HUGE changes on the way, folks, not least of which is the ability to change faction:

We wanted to give everyone a very early heads-up that, in response to player requests, we’re developing a new service for World of Warcraft that will allow players to change their faction from Alliance to Horde or Horde to Alliance. There’s still much work to do and many details to iron out, but the basic idea is that players will be able to use the service to transform an existing character into a roughly equivalent character of the opposing faction on the same realm. Players who ended up creating and leveling up characters on the opposite factions from their friends have been asking for this type of functionality for some time, and we’re pleased to be getting closer to being able to deliver it.

As with all of the features and services we offer, we intend to incorporate the faction-change service in a way that won’t disrupt the gameplay experience on the realms, and there will be some rules involved with when and how the service can be used. The number of variables involved increases the complexity of implementing this service, but we plan to take the time needed to ensure that it lives up to expectations before officially rolling it out. We’ll go into much more detail on all of this here at http://www.WorldofWarcraft.com as development progresses. In the meantime, we wanted to let you know that because this type of functionality requires extensive internal testing well in advance of release, you may be seeing bits and pieces of the service in the test builds we use for the public test realms moving forward.

Also: BoP items in instances will be tradable to other party/raid members.
Ability to turn off XP.
PvP XP.
Much more...

I've started to get the WoW itch again after playing quite a bit of Warcraft III and Starcraft (which rocks even in 640x480). I played WoW last fall/winter when my wife was pregnant and sick in bed most evenings but canceled my subscription in March just before the baby was born in April. I got my warlock up to 54 before bowing out. But I love seeing these areas in Warcraft III that I played in WoW. And I love getting to see the story of Arthas' downfall. These Blizzard folks sure know how to make a game.

So I might be back into WoW in the next few weeks.

[Hawkzombie]

Stupid Question:

Is there a CoG server/guild? I'd look, but I WANT ANSWERS NOW. Plus, playing with people I might actually ENJOY playing with might make things a bit more enjoyable...I do miss my priest...*sigh* Healing is teh smex.

Although, it won't matter eventually XD

[BLeeP]

I'm Feral Cat for life, but I dropped Resto into my off spec last night and spent a lot of money on start out gear. I've never healed at all, but I think I'll run some Northrend regulars to get a feel for it. I'm actually thinking of changing cat to bear so that I can do pretty much any role in the game. :o

I love being straight cat so much, though!

EDIT: Also, w00t Horde.

[Hawkzombie]

I was a warlock, and I never got the hang of melee DPS, but good GOD did Healing turn the game around for me. I found it not only challenging, but fun...it's honestly the only thing I really miss about WoW...especially after I finally healed through Heroic Loken in HoL as Disc.

I've got an alt lock that I quickly got to level 30 just to have on hand in case I ever wanted to play one (I have one of every class sitting there at that point or higher just in case I need something to do). I find it to be a lot of fun. I could never get the hang of drain-tanking (or I did and just didn't enjoy it), so I still use my voidwalker (yay thanthak) to soak everything up while I dot their eyes out. I'll obviously be doing Druid heals, so I have the HoTs for you!

If anyone ever wants to just have fun playing WoW, jump on Rivendare. We are pro-horde and Rivendare is probably something like 10-1 (probably an exaggeration) as far as Horde/Alliance ratio goes, with Horde on top. The guild is Sparkle Motion and we mostly chat and level while occasionally pugging something. Definitely not hardcore at all!

Heh. I'm actually a die-hard horde player but if you're playing PvE, Alliance side is where it's at. I have two horde characters on PvP realms that may one day see much more action.

I'm the same way. I quit play for the last 6 months of BC when I was a mage. Picked up WotLK and played a tanking DK from there, but got bored rather quickly. Once I leveled my priest and started healing, I've found new life in the game.

If I can make a character in Champions online that's like a disc priest....I'll honestly never need to go back to WoW ever again.

Damnit, all this talk of WoW lately has me wanting to resub. I know I shouldn't. It's like when a heroine addict wants to taste that sweet kiss of the rush again, only they know if they do their life will come crashing down.

Oy. So where's the CoG guild located? :p

The last time I quit, I gave away all my gold in the hopes it would deter me from coming back. It didn't work.
It doesn't help that making gold is embarrasingly easy. I started a new character and by level 30, I had around 600g.

Stop reading about the game and go play another game instead. Then think to yourself about how many games are coming out this fall that you want to play and how you won't even play a third of them if you are playing WoW instead.

If that doesn't work, go read the WoW forums, and that will usually do a good job of killing the urges as well.

Eh, if I do go back, I'd more than likely try and do my original idea: Make a small guild that does nothing but old world content as both a challenge, and for the hell of it. Getting 5-10 guys together to do 40 mans is a lot more difficult than it seems.

The only way aware of to get your account permabanned is in-game goldselling/buying or blatant hacking/botting. And even then your account is usually locked until you can verify that you're the owner just in case it wasn't the owner doing these things.

What likely happened is that someone used some method to harvest your account vitals and hijacked your shit. Then they probably had enough info to e-mail blizz and reactivate it (which is likely why verification e-mails etc. were sent out) and managed to dick around with it enough to get the mega-ban.

While it's untrue that they *won't* reverse permanbans, it's unlikely. If you think you'll play a bunch more, I highly recommend looking into the Recruit A Friend system. Many folks are more than willing to buy you a new copy of the game if you'll use the benefits and level with them. It's ridiculously fast to level and has a bunch of perks that remove common annoyances associated with leveling with a friend.

Drop me a line if you have any questions about the RAF program that aren't answered in the FAQ (http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=20588). I'd be more than happy to answer but, alas, I'm not leveling anything anymore so I'm a bad target for your RAF shenanigans.

Someone probably stole your account while you were away and got banned. I'd contact customer service, see what's up. The account management side of things is pretty good about this stuff, it's the in-game stuff like character recovery they tend to be dicks about.

After more than two years of playing WoW on and off, I finally hit level 60 with my main. I know, big deal.

But tonight was my favorite moment ever. I got killed by a 61 Horde who waited until I'd finished a battle with a couple mobs, then fucked me up. I respawned, thinking maybe he wouldn't be a douche, but he was. Waited until I'd wasted a potion and started drinking, then killed me. Awesome.

I waited about 10 minutes as a spirit before respawning. This time it was a fair fight - he killed me, but my DOTs killed him just seconds after.

I decided that since he fucked me up twice without being fair, fuck him. I waited until he had a couple mobs fighting him. I spawned, re-buffed, and hopped on my flying mount. I hovered over the place where, apparently, we had similar quests.

When he ran away from a mob because he aggro'd too many, I struck. I jumped off my mount, hit levitate about 40 feet off the ground, and started my DOTs. It only took a couple more spells and he was gone. I'm not gonna lie, he only started with half health.

It wasn't just beating him, it was floating down from the sky screaming "DEATH FROM ABOVE" in my mind, while casting shadow spells left and right.

After more than two years of playing WoW on and off, I finally hit level 60 with my main. I know, big deal.

Fucking awesome. That right there is some sweet satisfaction.

The greatest revenge in these situations was timing everything so a mob killed the jerk and he lost durability. Money is easy to come by these days but a long time ago that was gold you just did not want to lose.

[GunnyMo]

I think I've finally finished off my WoW days.

Who wants my account? :D

[Squidbot]

who wants my account? :d

la la la la la la la la la I'm not listening!

[GunnyMo]

la la la la la la la la la I'm not listening!

lol yes you are. :D But, odds are, I'll want to fire it up once I build my new PC just so I can see how I could have been playing these past years. lol

[J Arcane]

I'm thinkin' I'm gonna cancel until Cataclysm.

I ran out of WoW. I've done almost every quest in Northrend, levelled a DK, done most of the dungeons. The only things left to do are raid, grind dailies, and grind heroics for heirlooms to grind alts through zones I've already done a dozen times.

I was sorta into that though, until we had our little internet outage over the weekend and I suddenly couldn't play anymore, and now I just can't bring myself to play. I actually got suspended from raiding in my guild because I didn't bother to show up the last two or three nights in a row.

I dunno, I'd like to play more, but there's just nothing there to play anymore. My original plan was to get my DK to 80 and use him to grind heirlooms so I could make alts, I really wanted to play a druid, but he's just been nothing but frustrating, and my other alt, a 50 hunter, just doesn't feel as awesome as he used to.

[Lint of Death]

You bastards! I'm just getting into this! I even bought a 2-month time card! :p

I think that line sums up what's wrong with these games.

[anakin876]

We are on Horde and the guild is named "In Defense Of The Genre". My character's name is Kalfu and he's a Night Elf Priest focusing on Shadow.

ummm Horde Night Elf? Maybe you meant Blood Elf.

[J Arcane]

I think that line sums up what's wrong with these games.
The saddest part to me is, the guild I run with didn't used to be that kind of guild. But the way the game is structured, it seems like there's always someone who wants to push it to that step, so either a guild becomes a raiding guild, or everyone leaves it for one.

This is almost exactly what happened to me. I didn't play WoW for a week or so because I was bogged down in work, and all of a sudden I realized that there just wasn't all that much for me to do anymore. I could always level up alts, but the thought of doing quests in Outland again was about as far from appealing to me as things could get. I felt such indifference towards the game that I couldn't even be bothered to tell my guild I was leaving. I had done all the fun stuff I wanted to, and even though I have friends trying to get me to resubscribe, I just can't justify it.

It's a nice feeling. Before, I would stop playing but always come back to take care of old business. Now I don't really get excited about WoW news anymore, not even Cataclysm (although I would love to play a troll druid). WoW was one of the best and most memorable games I've ever played, but I don't think it has much to offer me anymore.

[SilentScreams]

I always hit the wall when I get to Outland.
I just leveled a Shammy up to 60 in around a week. I was having a blast, and then I got to Outland. I ground him up to 62, then realized I wasn't having fun anymore and quit.

If they would just replace Outland with something of Northrend's quality, then there wouldn't really be a single part in the whole 1-80 grind that I didn't like...except Desolace. Fuck Desolace.
Although it is much less painful now we get fast mounts for it.

It's going to really suck when Cataclysm comes out. The original stuff is being given an overhaul to make it as good as Northrend is. We know that Northrend is all kinds of awesome. Outland is going to really suck in comparison.

I wonder how far into your 60s you'll be able to get to with the revamped original zones. I assume that they'll smooth out the gear jump (the difference between gear quality from vanilla to BC is huge) so you don't feel the need to hit Hellfire as soon as you ding 58. If you could get to 62 quite easily, you could skip Hellfire (except for the quest chains needed for the Nagrand factions) do a couple of levels in Zangarmash, clean up Nagrand and then do the last level or two in Shadowmoon or Netherstorm to get to 68 and head for Northrend.

The thing is, I actually really liked BC. It was some of the most fun I had in WoW (I actually liked it more than WotLK, not because of quality or anything, but maybe just because there were more people playing that I knew at the time. I dunno). It's just soooooo dead now, that it's not much fun anymore.

Almost all of my fun in WoW is related to the people I am playing with. The game itself isn't particularly amazing, but a lot of the social aspects really make up for that. Nowadays it seems to me that it's just the people who are really hardcore into WoW that are still playing, as opposed to back when it first started and you had lots of people signing up just to see what the fuss was about. I think the game has suffered as a result.

[Inspector Fowler]

Am I the only one who is relieved when I see fewer people? Honestly, the social aspects are something I'm not a fan of.

With allies, they're either total retards - shoving guild charters in your face without another word, trying to duel you 60 times in a row, screaming retarded shit in the chat channels, etc. OR - they're nice people and I'm afraid that when I group up with them I'll be the idiot who can't support the group correctly.

Obviously, Horde falls into two categories. Assholes who are two busy to one-shot me, and assholes who one-shot me. ;)

Also, the game feels a lot more heroic when I'm the only one helping - I might as well be Stormwind Foot Solider #87689 when the game is super busy.

I'm slowly moving my operation to a different server, where most of my real-world friends play WoW. Maybe then the social aspect won't be so disturbing to me.

[Lint of Death]

My new Troll Hunter on Area 52, Blunttrollma, just ran over to Bloodmyst Isle and snagged a sparkly blue moth (http://www.wowwiki.com/File:Royal_Blue_Flutterer.jpg) for a pet.

Its name is SteveBallmer :D

I agree that there were/are a lot of idiots that played WoW, but to me that was part of the fun. You had tons of people from all areas, some who were playing their first MMO, some who were veterans of the genre, and it led to this huge mishmash of people that was really appealing to me.

Like I said before, now it seems like you just have the really hardcore WoW people left. Everyone crunches numbers, uses 18 bajillion add-ons, and copies whatever the "best" strategy for a particular boss is. Maybe my experience was tainted by the fact that the casual raiding guild I was a part of became too successful (it actually became the top Horde raiding guild on the server), but that's just not fun to me. I loved exploring this huge world, interacting with all sorts of weird and hilarious people, and just having a good time. I guess I lost that somewhere along the way, and I don't really feel like paying $15 a month anymore to get it back.

Something that is really funny to me is that despite my feelings that most of the people playing WoW nowadays are fairly experienced at it, pugs are ATROCIOUS. I remember pugging all of the original WoW instances and very rarely having problems, same with most of the early BC instances. Nowadays people avoid pugs like the plague, and for good reason. How the heck did everybody get WORSE at the game?

EDIT: Actually, people probably got worse (or started showing their true colors) because group sizes became smaller and people actually had to have a little bit of skill. Back in the day when you could set up a raid to run Strat and Scholo I guess it didn't matter if you had a few idiots in the group. Nowadays even one can ruin an instance for a party.

SUPER DOUBLE EDIT: Jesus, that's enough ranting for me on WoW for now. Note to self: Gotta stop posting multiple paragraph posts on why I don't play anymore...

[Lint of Death]

Ugh, I made like 5-7 new characters on Area 52, trying SO HARD not to make another Troll Warrior, and now in just two days I've not only buckled and made one, but it's already my highest character on the server at ~16 or so. I have a problem :(

It's like I should just bring my old main over, but that's a lot of money.

[Fubl]

lint i have a similar issue i actually enjoy the 1-20 aspect specially for the Dranei, everyone i know plays alliance BLAH. i liked more of the horde starting areas.

[nixpayn]

my gf and i made chars on '52 last week -
Fenninro (hunter)
Evelish (warlock)

we're already guilded and will be lurking around. We wont level like mad in a week or anything, but we'll play steady and catch up eventually.
