what is this hotfix i'm downloading? Still says 3.3.3


Have to find out... Could be any number of things. Though from playing my DK - The Icy Touch buff was pretty over the top, and it wouldn't surprise me if Blizzard toned it down a bit to somewhere in between where it is now and where it was before.

It's especially annoying since it was only 3 dps that left; we should be able to fill those slots in just a couple days.

We were on our second night of raiding for the week and we needed a few more healers before we could start. So one of our resto druids logs on. We invite him and he immediately drops group and goes "lol, no". He didn't want to get saved without getting guaranteed badges off the first four. If I was an officer, he'd have been gkicked right there. But the actual officers finally convinced him to come.

Several Festergut wipes later, I have some sympathy for his position. But we eventually down him while carrying one sub-5k dps and several sub-7k, 4 sec. off the enrage timer. Unfortunately the shitty dps will never get called out because one's an officer and one's a girl. Aren't casual guilds great?

I'd like to imagine it happens in just about every guild.

I get insane amounts of flack because I refuse to flask on farm nights (especially when flasks were selling for +50g on my server) despite the fact that I'm top dps and no one gives shit to the people who are flasked and still doing like 4k dps less than me.

Rogue DPS doesn't count :p. I have to play walls to the balls just to keep up with the rogues.

I only flask on progression bosses and nobody bitches. But I guess being a hunter in the 2-3 DPS spot affords me that.

I only flask on progression bosses as well. We have some people that could use a few flasks to pick their performance up though :p.

Lich King 25 Heroic World First Kill by Paragon
Paragon was the first guild in the world to defeat the Lich King in 25-Heroic mode! The 5% buff was used and it definitely confirms that guilds do not need the 10% version to kill him. (As long as they're that good, I guess)

The Lich King dropped Glorenzelg, High Blade of the Silver-Hand, Archus, Greatstaff of Antonidas, and of course Invincible's Reins, which makes them the first guild to get the Invincible flying mount! (The mount is a 100% drop from the Lich King in 25-Heroic)

I really do not like tanking the Valithria (10) fight. I usually hate add fights, but this one is just incredibly annoying to tank. I guess it's also more annoying that the DPS weren't really focusing their damage correctly. Quite a few times, I'd end up with 40+ stacks from the Rotting Worms and take a ton of damage.

I'd rather run all of MC (at level 60) than do that fight.

Hurray US 5th ICC Glory 25 man

Congrats =P. How much can I buy it for?

Tanking Valithria is horrible. You spend most of the fight dealing with slows from DPS who are too focused on other things to interrupt the archmages, you get rotworms sitting on you for way too long, and you have to rely entirely on your burst threat because nothing stays alive for very long.

So I decided to see how the alliance guilds are doing on my server. None of them have killed the Lich King on 25 man normal and only 2 on 10 normal.

I find the attitude of WoW players to be annoying lately, at least on my server. For instance nobody on my server seems to have any interest in tackling Ulduar 25 hard mode to get a mount. You would think that now it's so much easier in terms of equipment inflation that more people would be down to spend a few hours, but the only thing it seems people care about is new loot. If there's not any loot to be found, people seem to have zero interest in anything.

What happened to people doing things because it was challenging and fun?

OK - I'll bite: :)

< In as friendly and non~confrontational a manner as humanly possible, and certainly not meant as an attack on a simple question >


But...


Just for argument's sake, mind...



How about "I'm already raiding 5 days a week for 4~5 hours a shot, and the thought of going back to Ulduar on nights 6 and 7 so someone can get some stupid mount makes me want to hurl. For what?? A hundred more Emblems of Triumph to add to the (seriously!!!) 600+ I already can't even use for toilet paper??? Combine that with the usual large percentage of people wanting to drag their alts though at everyone else's expense... the usual 'people can't pay attention 'cos it's not Srs Bznz any more' so we wipe...


a *LOT*


Which pisses everyone off because now we're screwing up content which was on farm months ago because people can't be asked to perform fight mechanics. So now, nobody is having any fun, and we're mad at each other, and yah... There goes <player> with *Yet* *Another* Emo~laden crying Jag about how we can't just all get along. Then <other player> starts with the whole 'Well,, since my opinion apparently doesn't count around here' routine... And I ***SWEAR*** if I see that Gawd Dammmmed Muthsf$)#&$#ing "BOOOONESTOOOORMMM" macro the GM's 16 year old arms warrior son likes spamming in /rw just ONE... More... TIME...

Naaaah... I'm sure you'll pardon me if I'd rather sleep."



In short - I'm up to my eyeballs with these people already. :)

Would that be a good reaon to pass on going back to ToC and/or Uld? ;)

even out-gearing the content, Ulduar hard modes aren't exactly trivial (specifically, mimiron and yogg)... we spent like 4-5 4 hour raiding sessions on Yogg+0 in 251/264 gear.

some people just don't find that to be enjoyable... there were several times mid-wipe that I'd have rather been screwing around on an alt than wiping for the 81581645th time because someone lagged into a cloud or we got shitty tentacle placement.

So, they buffed the AV generals....I guess too many people were getting the six minute achievement done.






Or not.

I just hate doing old content when people are idiots. When we went back to U10 to do hard modes and we wiped on Hodir 8 times or so... yeah, screw that.

If your wiping to tentacle placement, then your dps really sucks, even with 264 gear standards.
