Isn't it more like ilvl 200? Because they're the same ilvl as what you'll get in heroics. It's not junk, it's what everyone will be entering raids with. I just don't see any reason to give out heroic gear before people set foot in heroics, but I'm not sure why I didn't see it as the next annoying step in the gear trends of this game.

I can't find much information on who drops what, but they are the same ilevel as the reputation rewards (for Tol Barad).
 
As i'm now gearing up my new baby 80... the heroics drop ilvl200 gear... blues and purples... and the Triumph badge gear is ilvl232
Well yes, obviously. I meant at the beginning of WotLK. Badge gear was 200 then, too.

Anyways, I know I'm making too big of a deal about this, but I really don't care. So annoyed with the gear acquiring situation in this game that little things set me off.
 
you could clear naxx 25 in T6

But 10 was slightly harder?

On that note, wtf is with this gear scaling. I figured 284 would last till atleast the first tier of raiding, but fucking getting replaced with 81 greens? common!

btw anyone else remember when 6000hp was a shitload of health?

Interesting :hmm:...

We now have delivery date(s) for the order you placed on August 17 2010 (Order# ~~~-~~~~~~~-~~~~~~~):

"World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Collector's Edition"
Estimated arrival date: January 05 2011
 
Eh, Amazon's date right now doesn't mean much to me.

4.0.1 should be coming one of the next two weeks, apparently, at least.
 
Blizzcon is at the end of the month and I put a large amount of the old salt onto any rumors till then.
 
i played both sided back in the day and palys we soo good damn OP compared to shamans. in both PVE and PVP but especially PVE

yeap

I played on Alleria for the first year the game was out, almost every realm first was Alliance because of paladin healing / cleanse

was it? TBH i don't remember naxx 10 being harder at all, i know 10 man sarth 3D was much harder then the 25 man version. maly was i wanna say equal

and yes the gear scaling is crazy. i knew that from the beta


with 1 day shipping my Cata preorder from Amazon says "Delivery estimate: Jan 4th"
 
Who's getting the collectors edition?

I can't seem to talk myself into getting it, but I could be swayed!
 
So insightful Anubis!

For the pet? Artwork? I've never gotten a collectors edition from Blizzard before so I'm not sure what makes it worth it.
 
If I remember 10 man Naxx *was* more difficult. Didn't Blizz say they slightly undertuned the 25 man version?

10 man horsemen was a pita.
 
I'm not puffin much stock into Amazon's release date... I just thought it was interesting.

Naxxramas 10 was harder in some cases because the fights were initially designed for 40 people. While some could easily be toned down, a fight like Four Horsemen, still had a high person requirement given the four sub-bosses.

1 day shipping my Cata preorder from Amazon says "Delivery estimate: Jan 4th"

Yeah, mines the 5th because I selected 2-day since 2-day is automatically upgraded to free release day shipping for Amazon Prime members.
 
I remember doing 10 man horseman for the first time...since I only ended up doing it about half a dozen times I'd be hard pressed to verbalize the encounter at this point other than to say we always beat it.
 
was just challenging is all I'm saying, with bloated stats and all..jeez 😛

I'm still debating on collectors edition...I knock on friends who pay for pets\mounts and got the sc2 collectors for the thor pet seems hypocritical 🙂

Although I kind of want the artwork and pet..

Nothing wrong with getting it. I've been buying them since TBC and a little bummed that I missed out on the vanilla one 🙁.
