Haven't done it yet so can't say.

One other thing to look out for is the guild reward pet for having a guild group complete all the gold challenges. If you're not in a guild with that, need to get in one asap to rank up rep and get the pet before it is gone. Can buy the +100% rep cloak from a guild you re in now to help the rep bonus.

 

[robvp]

What race/battlegroups are you guys in? maybe we can get together a group for the challenge modes over the weekend, got hunter on horde(reckoning) and warlock on alliance(vindication)

 

[lupi]

I'll probably toss up my I'd for my horde lock later. Other than doing a couple hours of lawn work, not planning on doing much other than being in game as much as possible to complete these last pre wod things.

 

[Rhezuss]

Wow i'm so not in the coolzone...I don't even know what you guys are talking about lol

I'm starting a new toon, that is what I know...

 

[Phoenix86]

Of course not, you in Canada which is by default the coldzone. Sorry.

They are talking about challenge modes, 5 man heroics with automatic ilvl restrictions with a timer. Times for gold/silver/bronze. If you get gold on every heroic you get a class unique set of gear for xmog, and a couple other goodies (mount/pet?).

I have toons on both Horde and Alliance. Gear doesn't matter so much right since everything is reduced down to 463 ilevel?

 

[robvp]

Yeah everything is reduced to ilvl463, as long as you have anything on that threshold it should be fine, i have never done a challenge mode, in fact all my heroic experience in panda is from getting pretty much carried by people with 550+ gear farming valor points or whatever heh, i consider myself able to follow through though, i'm down on saturday night or sunday most of the day

Gear scales down to 463. One caveat is that gems don't scale down, so generally gear with more gem slots are more valuable.

Legendary metagems don't activate, nor does the proc on the legendary cloak. The cloak is still good without the proc, but you might want to consider getting an alternate helm to slot a normal metagem into if your main has the legendary. Tier bonuses don't work either.

You'll want flasks, potions, food, and invisibility potions. That last item can be pretty expensive if you're on a high pop server and can't farm them yourself.

Psh feral druid don't need no invis!

My Paladin is level 3.

 

[styrafoam]

Got the warlock green fire quest done with just under 24 hours to go. Every icon that was orange/red is now mint green. Weird.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Bought a Garrosh kill for 25k. Heirloom didn't drop

 

[Rhezuss]

New patch is today? Read quickly the patch note, looks like a cool patch that maybe will give a new birth to the game.

Didn't played much since this summer but I resubed last week. Finally started a new toon but got a bit bored lol. So I didn't got the cool stuff, nothing to brag about except a now level 8 Paladin

Apart from the new races models, will there be an overhaul of the graphics engine?

Between that and Legend of Grimrock 2, don't know where i'll put my time in the most

 

[ewdotson]

Had my Brawler's Guild invite drop on a level 86 alt last night. I know there'll be another season of it, so it's still good to have, but there was a definite sense of "wow, that's just *great* timing on that".

Any reason why you didn't wait until patch if you were just concerned about the heirloom. it's a guaranteed first time drop for your spec after the patch.

I was actually concerned about the mount and kill. Heirloom would have been a nice bonus so I wouldn't have to run it again. My stupid Druid has been stuck with a 502 weapon forever when my hunter, which I only randomly jump on to do my weekly mount kills gets a bow her first run.

I reactivated a week or so ago. My alliance guild / server is completely dead, even after the server merger things. My horde guild has gone from a nice, small 150 character guild with 15-20 active members to a massive unruly ridiculous 999 character guild with pages or people online. I hate big guilds.

Decided I don't really want to be on a pvp server anymore anyway, so I picked up a lowbie rogue I had on Zul'jin, and started a priest there. Then I actually read class changes and I'm not happy with the priest changes, now I'm not so sure I won't be going back to my "old" horde server (Blackrock) where I'd have my choice of 90 warlock/paladin/rogue. Just need to find a new small guild there I guess.

Tenpole#2506 EU server. I dont play much, most of the time I have not got a clue what I am doing.

I'm not sure the details, but most of what you're seeing is something all healers are going to deal with. Mostly the removal of instant cast heals (doesn't affect spriests as much). Priests also had some terrible healing output issues, which were mostly corrected on the last PTR.

I understand that. Most of my issues are with what they've done to discipline -- at least, what it looks like from the notes. Renew is now holy-only, binding heal is now holy-only, atonement got nerfed because the heal was too powerful, prayer of mending got a cast time, and cascade got both a cast time and a massive nerf (not that it wasn't needed).

So Disc is left with heal (formerly greater heal), flash heal, penance, PWS, and spirit shell as being actually useful. /shrug

After reading the disc changes and the holy paladin changes, I'm very much leaning toward the paladin from a gameplay perspective.

I seem to have taken a performance hit on the old office machine on account of the new models i guess

Well you dip into both points a bit, but some of the "X got nerfed too much" was rolled back a week ago in beta because low output. So if that was your reason I'd say be patient.

Style, go with what you like, obviously.

 

[lupi]

Just about everything for the expansion should be in game now except for ability to go through the portal and unlock > level 90.

I looked at doing the braler guild. Guide said I'd need a stupid 52 kills to finish it and decided to do other things instead. Got my challenge mode done. Pretty stupid though that they took away the things you can get or at least didn't make them all account wide.

Got the mage to 90. So nice to be able to fly again. Also went from an ilevel of about 395 to 460 moments after thanks to all the TI itemshe had waiting. UBRS should make that even more ridiculous with the DD0 stuff.

This is the main thing for me. I'll give it a try sometime in the next few days, but the priest changes don't sound like anything that will improve gameplay from a fun perspective. In fact, the extra cast times will slow it down a bit. The fun was in the chaos.
