AT World of Warcraft Thread (Mists, Where do you play, General BS and all that)

[Eric1987]

I started playing again. I am on Alleria alliance.

I feel like this is the most prepped I have ever been for an xpac. Ive cleaned up all quest logs, set toons in org, AH a lot of MoP materials and stocked up on some gold on all of my 90's. Now they are just sitting around waiting for Nov 13th.

I sort of want to try getting back in to WoW a little bit...

Is there an AT guild or something? WoW solo isn't a whole lot of fun.

I've always enjoyed playing priest and I've played healers throughout my whole MMO life.

I haven't played since vanilla.

So I read on Friday that everybody gets 7 free days to check out patch 6.0.2. Active and inactive accounts. I checked the eu-version of the webpage. Found the page. It asked me to select my account, then click "activate". So I stopped there. So I could download the game first.

Downloaded the full game. That's 30 GBs nowadays. Over a 6 Mbps adsl-line. Reinstalled all my addons.
This afternoon I reactivated my account. When I finally clicked the "activate"-button, the response was: "this account is not eligible".

FFS.

I used the install to check out a free starter-account. Just to see the technical chances. Terrible. WoW has always had outdated graphics. But the nice thing was that those graphics were always crispy-clear, running at 60fps constantly, no jaggies at all, and bright colors. Now with the new CMAA the game looks bland and washed out. It even looks like the lightning and shadowing has changed for the worse. That's probably not true, but for some reason, the new renderer is certainly not an improvement.

Oh well, another reason to no play WoD.

 

[cronos]

I don't think everyone gets the 7 free days. If you don't get the email then you don't get it.

It's very different, way more casual friendly. It's still fun though. If there's not an AT guild, why not start one?

I guess I'm weird. I'd rather play solo. I like to level up to the cap and then start a new character. I do a little PvP at max level, but that's about it.

Yeah, it's way way easier than it was before. I played for a while yesterday and today and I'm level 25. Done more dungeons in the last two days than I had through the entire time I played beta and vanilla. Had a lot more fun, too. Dungeon Finder is super amazingly awesome.

It's interesting, though...probably 80% of the time I've spend playing was 1-15...once I hit 15 and could use Dungeon Finder, I did a few dungeons and BAM I was 19. I'm undecided if I should keep doing quests or just run dungeons over and over. I'd kind of like to see some of the quests/content I've missed (started a blood elf.)

Oh well. Either way, much more fun than it was before.

found this fairly helpful farming the pumpkins for the new pets.

[JujuFish]

That's what I used too. I just opened up the map, clicked on every bucket to load into TomTom, hit /cway, and went on my way.

Got my warrior a bit of gear from LFR over the past week, can't believe it was just 87 not so long ago and now i'm sitting at iLVL508, almost as good as my hunter, just missing some good weapons as i'm still carrying quest and heroic sticks, so far it's much more fun than what the hunter has become, the skill purge hit hunter hard and i'm finding myself often just sitting there casting steady shot while waitin for chimera and barrage to cool down, it's a shame

We’re planning to release a patch tomorrow that will bring the live game up-to-date with the version currently being tested on the beta realms. This includes a number of fixes and changes to address issues we've identified since the release of 6.0.2, as well as remaining assets and content to prepare for the launch of Warlords of Draenor. As we've done in prior expansions, our plan is to not require a launch-day patch, and have a smooth transition to the new expansion in North America at midnight Pacific on November 13.

What they did to the Hunter class makes no sense, why would you render the most played and favored class virtually useless?

I can only guess anti-hunter bias by the Devs won out over attracting customers.

They did not purge only Hunter skills but Hunter pets as well, they are basically Warlock pets now you just get a wide choice of skins.

 

[lupi]

Saw another blurb about the patch today. Said it was supposed to make it even with beta by adding in all things that can't be hotfixed to live. Guessing this means we won't be seeing any non-hotfix changes till after release given that the con is next week.

Mostly play a max level mage/lock/warrior/pally. To me those classes had minimal button attutnement and I would have liked to see a couple removed/readjusted.

Also did my first current level group content since the patch. Did a UBRS run, was interesting to be back in some familiar areas but was odd in a good way how much shorter and quicker it was. We did wipe once and a monk in group dropped. Which was rather funny as his DPS for the run was about the same as mine at the start when I still had rez sickness. After it passed I was at about 10k.

 

[Rhezuss]

We started Firelands yesterday with me (90 Lock) and a friend (90 Rogue).

Everything was fairly easy except for Baleroc which we can't kill. His debuff is too much for no healers lol.

Plus we had the "gate bug" where I couldn't get through but the rogue could. We kited Baleroc to the gate and when he get past it he vanishes and respawn to his original place AND I could finally pass through the gate...

Any tricks for duo'ing Baleroc without a healer?

There's so much wrong with this post.

Got my first BOA. Brother pulled me into a normal on Garrosh and the raid leader didn't seem to mind my 516 ilvl. Wasn't last on DPS at least. Got the 2h axe which is nice since I have 5 chars that can use it. Going to try to do a normal or heroic on my main for the prot gear. ilvl is only 543(Ret) so heroic is iffy in this battle group.


I was trying to get my Hunter a PVP bow but with the stealth nerf in the latest patch I'm going to have to grind IoC for a few more hours. Should push him to 530ish.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Got a bunch of stuff from Ordos and Celestials for all my toons last night.

I have 3 BoAs now: Intel Staff, Agil Pole Arm, 2h Strength Axe. Perfect for all my toons except my hunter.

I got my warrior to 60 last night and boosted him to 90 right afterwards.

My druid is 3 weeks away from the legendary staff.

My DK is stuck on blood infusion in ICC.

Running out of things to do besides mount farm lol.

 

[chitwood]

My DK is stuck on blood infusion in ICC.

Just did this 2 nights ago, it's annoying.

Obviously there's a wealth of info out there on how to do it, but basically it boils down to:

Pull BQL.
Get blood mirror debuff
Get Banshee Queen debuff
Stand there for 60 sec
Bite friend #1, friend dies
wait another 60 sec
Bite friend #2, friend dies
wait another 60 sec
Bite friend #3, then kill BQL.

 

[Josh123]

I wonder if they are planning on making the 90-100 heirlooms available through purchase with gold or something after the release.

 

[Xonim]

Cancelled my sub again last night -- had been reactivated for 3 weeks or so and haven't been having enough fun with it to justify the $15/mo. Lots of other things to do anyway :biggrin:

I doubt it, that would be inconsistent with the way heirlooms have worked so far.

 

[lupi]

Been doing horseman 4 times a day. Was nice that I finally got the mount, but helm/sword sucking serious butt. Have seen each once and neither time on one of the chars that could use it.

Between the dungeon daily, also sent 2 chars to do inn baskets through northrend and panda land and that gave enough for each to buy one of the two new pets so all up to date there.

Started vashj on the shammy, the bloom effect is really noticeble down there and I could not find a bloom setting in the configuration menu anymore. Somewhat annoying.

I'm guessing they fixed the DoT hitting too hard? That was my issue from before. I would die after bite 2 since the DoT was ticking for like 20% of my life super quick.

Tell me about it, got the sword on hunter, haven't seen the helm at all
