lololol. They say they'll add a free day of game time and allow you to pay on the 13th instead of the 12th. But I've yet to see it. my account "ends" every month on the 14th. It's been this way since I started paying for my own account in November. No, I take that back, I'll throw in 6 days from when I didn't renew my account that one time until 6 days after. Anyways, I was expecting to have a full day of time but instead, I found myself unable to log in the game on the day my account originally will get frozen from non-payment.

If someone actually gets their free day, I'd be surprised.

Also, any and all kinds of mods it seems that are creative and look 1000x better than Blizzard's are now worthless. thanks to the XML/LUA nerf they did to no longer allow them to be edited apart from blizzard staff. Even CT_Raid Assist got fucked over and a warning of "ignore or disable" popped up when I logged in.

Patch 1.10 is fucking worthless. The gold they give in compensation to quests is a joke. The flight paths are fucked up. EXAMPLE: Flying to Valormok from Orgrimmar. Going to turn in the hands of the enemy quest. Got to valormok and realized I had forgotten my hands. No biggy, fly to winterspring to pick them up (and hopefully check out the winter effect) flight path took me from Valormok, to Orgrimmar back past valormok and to winterspring. (no weather. LOL) So I picked up my hands and went to fly to valormok. LOL WRONG. It flew me past Valormok, back to Org, then flew back around to Aszhara. wonderful. Sure I got about 12g from turning in both the hands and opening the chest underneath the water and sure that's 12g more than I had. but meh. Whatever.

nah, you have to get the upgrades through quests. and from the looks of it, UD strat seems to have not undergone the nerf that was said it had in test realms of mobs taken out. Shame, since they gave it a 45 minute limit to get to baron in order to complete one of the upgrade quests.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

And thus Ugnok's journey into Molten Core comes to an end. Hanging up the medallion of Steadfast Might and the grind on 5-man instances begins once again.

I finally got "pushed out" by the guild that runs Molten Core. I guess this is a good thing, cause I now get to do stuff on Saturday nights instead of listening to yelling and pouting and what have you.


edit: (wow nifty edit system!)

Heh I made a farewell thread and then people are telling me to stick around and not leave, so I'm going on one final "farewell run" of sorts. Since next week they're going DKP, they want me to have one last run with them for the sake of going. One more chance at a phat Might lewtz. Even though my position isn't as important as it has been, we'll see if it's worth it or if it'll be just yet another bust. Who knows highlander? If it's goes well and I come out with something, that'd be wonderful. If I come out a loser si me, then it's my own fault and there won't be any complaining on my end.

I've got my rogue almost ready to go venture forth in the scholo/strat areas, so alliance side will probably be seeing a lot of me there.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

There's no fewer than 20 in each one, it's insane.

LOLOL dominated by horde. That's funny. Our server is like a 2:1 Alliance:Horde Ratio. Alliance owns in BGs, it's only until the past few months that the horde have started to win.

Also, as much as I don't realy like paladins in PVP (facing them sucks heh) Paladins need to be left the fuck alone when it comes to nerfing. Every patch there's always some unmentioned nerf in paladins. Same with Prot. Spec warriors. Leave us alone for fuck sake.

Most amazing jew boots

Strat/Scholo post 1.10:

WORTHLESS. Reports from people I know are saying Strat (at least Undead, don't know about Live) now needs to be completely re-learned on how to go through. 45 minute Baron runs are giving people problems who have done it multiple times pre 1.10 (some even fully decked out in MC/BWL gear) and are being called "impossible". The intended effect was for them to remove some mobs leading up to Baron so the 45 minute limit can be made. Also, if you die, you lose the quest buff you get to complete it.

Scholo has been completely nerfed in terms of drops. The 6 side bosses in the classroom gauntlet are lucky to drop a dark rune, if that. Even if the instances were beefed up instead of nerfed down for quests, the loot is ridiculous in scholo and makes it not worth going in anymore. So much for one of my 3 favorite instances. :\

I was speaking idiomatically.

Titanic legs plans fell on Thunderhorn already. Saw them in the AH in org for 500g bid (no buyout). Of course because I went Axesmith, I'm no longer needed unless someone wants an Arcanite Reaper. No new Axesmith plans either, which sorat make me sad.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Funny story. A high end raiding guild that's actually casual wants me to venture into MC with them next weekend. I didn't know I was enlisted until I logged on Ug earlier. Should prove interesting. They don't even require some of the shit that the guild I've been running with requires. Supposed to be some kind of tryout. Who knows what will happen. Tonight's my last night running with the people I have been. Since their raiding style is changing drastically next week. I hope things go smooth, if not I'm in for a long night.

FELIPE NO

bah, just because you have it on farm status.

Although 4 months of running and not getting shit. I finally got a set piece. Might legplates <3

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I'm sure Tuesday there will be a patch to fix some of the problems in the game.

Scholo Classroom bosses not dropping loot.
Gun animations fucked up.
Strat not having a few mobs thinned out as promised so people can complete the 45 min baron run. etc.. and so forth.

I also did a 5-man LBRS earlier today to finish up Warlord command. Now, previously I've been afraid of this place for one reason (spiders). But for some reason, that place just wasn't as tough as I thought it would be. I do know I didn't notice as many mobs around, plus we got to kill two rare spawns. (Bannok was in Lower and Jed was in Upper). Got a nifty new 1h axe out of it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I figured since I'm bored tonight, I was going to have a little fun with the WoW item creater thingie that's out there. Didn't know what I was going to go for then I saw the picture that was posted of Triple H when he made his entrance in wrestlemania tonight. Figured, what the hell and created a few items that could drop off him if he were a raid boss.

picture of Triple H decked out in his Druid/Shammy gear:




here's a list of stuff he could drop. :P

Sledgehammer of Jobbing:



Cloak of the Game:


Water Bottle of the King of Kings:
(yes I know the spelling is piss poor, forgive me, it's late. :P

Billion Dollar Princess (think of it as a mount or something :P):


There's nowhere I can't reach.

First off, we’d like to thank everyone who helped us test our new hardware on the public test realms over the last month. The testing allowed us to move forward ahead of schedule with the improvements outlined at the beginning of March: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...1&tmp=1#post45. We were able to bring the new World of Warcraft site live more than a week early, which in turn allowed us to open 12 new realms over the last two weeks.

The next step in our ongoing efforts to increase game performance is to migrate a set of realms to the new site this Wednesday, April 5, beginning at 12:01 AM PST. The migration could take up to 24 hours to complete, so we will be crediting players with active accounts who had characters on these realms as of 12:01 PM Monday, April 3. The realms that will be affected are listed below.

The goal with this realm migration is to further balance our player population between multiple World of Warcraft sites. Our estimates about the noticeable impact of this individual procedure are conservative, but it is nevertheless a necessary step that will then allow us to move forward with the subsequent portions of our overall plan.

Following the migration, we plan to next week offer character transfers from existing realms to fresh realms located at the new World of Warcraft site. These transfers will allow additional players on realms that had been experiencing intermittent performance issues to continue their character progress on the new hardware. This will in effect help us further disperse our population and continue improving performance on our most severely affected realms.

We’ll provide you with additional status updates as often as possible as we continue implementing the plan we announced this past January (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...e&ThreadID=48).

Realms that will be down but not migrate:
Aggramar
Andorhal
Anetheron
Burning Blade
Burning Legion
Dentarg
Duskwood
Earthen Ring
Eonar
Eredar
Executus
Gilneas
Gorefiend
Haomarush
Kargath
Laughing Skull
Lightning's Blade
Llane
Malygos
Scilla
Shadow Moon
Steamwheedle Cartel
Thunderhorn
Thunderlord
Turalyon
Ysera
Ysondre
Zuluhed

Realms that will migrate:
Archimonde
Dalaran
Khadgar
Mal'Ganis

*sigh* I guess it's too much to ask for Blizzard to put Thunderhorn on a new server, which has been needed for a long time now.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Been a while, so I figured I'd make a passing-by post.

Staying at 49 with my gnome for a while to get up rank in BGs. Goal is to (try) and hit rank 11 so I can get my mount, but that's a fuckload of PVP. It's either rank 11 or hit Exalted with Darnassus, in which I'm 300 from Revered.

Running MC again with a different guild and different set of rules for loot distribution. (no drama so far and no, no DKP either)


Thunderhorn forums "invaded" by Thunderlord. (Classic PVP > PVE bullshit)

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I saw that a few days ago. It disgusted me. Of course it's not really surprising. People are that big enough of dicks to do that shit, then gloat about it to make their e-peens swell with pride.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Blizzard's servers are fucked right now. Have been since patch 1.10. Authenticating issues are out of hand, shit still bugged after the "fix patch". You know, if I didn't know any better I swear this was a way to get people to cancel their accounts so they can weed people out. Then again, you'd actually have to be able to connect to cancel the account.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Judging by the screenshot, it looks like Onyxia is still bugged.

Same thing goes for the recipe for Dirge's Kickin' Chimaerok Chops this past week. I eventually sold that to someone else for cost though.

I honestly have more gold than I need for pretty much anything. I'm gearing up whatever I can since my guild cannot raid (the only raid gear I have is Bloodstained Kilt from ZG), and the cost is negligible, as I can generate more income over time anyway. Just bought the last available piece of Felheart Gear yesterday (bracers I think), but lost out on a Pristine Hide of the Wild for my Cap of the Scarlet Savant.

I'm too lazy to wait for drops or grind, so this is what I do.

how the hell do people make gold like that. I'm lucky to scrape by with 90g on my 60

But... well, let's just say that my good mood was ruined shortly after.

So I was on my way to get my mount when I saw somebody looking for a healer for SM Cath. I'm a 21 NS resto build, so I can heal (somewhat). So, I sent a tell over, and got invited.

To a party with two rogues and two hunters.

Looking back, I should have left right then. ;_;

Anyway, I got my mount and then ran. Needless to say, I died. A lot. The worst part, however, was that one of the two hunters completely ignored my cries of "Help, some mobs are turning me into MUSH!" and continued shooting. This continued until Mograine, where we wiped twice: the first from two mobs we had missed joining in, the second from an unlucky pat.

However, before that, the hunter had overpulled once, and while I healed, a good two or three mobs completely WTFBBQPWNT me. And the hunter just stood there, shooting at a fourth mob, while I died. Naturally, we wiped. Again.

Finally, after the second wipe on Mograine, I said "Y'know what? Screw it. I said that I would leave if I died again, and I've died TWICE."

Then, the moron hunter went "bye" and left the party. I assumed at the time that he had left.

Then, he messaged me. The following is the entire context of our little spat, with names removed.

He: u an ass
Me: And you're a worthless hunter.
He: i aint ur damn baby sitter
Me: You are if you want to stay alive.
He: wutever not my fault u cant take care of ur damn self
Me: Oh yeah.
Me: It's COMPLETELY MY FAULT THAT I HAVE NO WAY TO GET RID OF AGGRO.
Me: Seriously.
Me: What part of "dead healer = dead party" DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
He: and its completly my fault that i cant atract all the damn agro
Me: No, but it's your fault for not TRYING.
Me: I saw you stand there and ignore my cries for help TWICE.
He: Look am not a fucking tank and am not the only one there
He: i was shooting for ur info
Me: Oh, and that completely excuses you ignoring my cries for help.
He: i was shooting ur damn attackers
Me: No you weren't, you were shooting somebody else!
He: thats the best way i can atract agro i am range
Me: Yeah, well funnily enough,
Me: I didn't see you shooting my attackers.
Me: And it doesn't matter if you're not designed to be a tank.
He: well thats ur problem u let my pet die and u dont see me bitching do u?
Me: Gee, because maybe I have to make choices when I'm healing?
He: not if u make them fast enough
Me: It's not a matter of making choices fast enough,
Me: It's a matter of having enough MANA TO MAKE THE CHOICES.
Me: I would hope that somebody who is playing the class with the smallest mana pool in the game would understand.
Me: Shamans have the SECOND smallest mana pool.
He: well am not goin to keep arguing about something that is not even worth wasting my time on
Me: Then why did you message me in the first place?
He: cuz i tought u kicked me out of the group
Me: I'm not the leader, moron.
Me: *Leader* was.
He: well something happen
Me: He was the one to kick you.
Me: Because you desperately needed a whambulance.
He: wutever it doesnt matter now
Me: ...Sorry, that was uncalled for.
He: just forget about it
Me: Done, and done.
He: exactly

*You have now placed "He" on your ignore list.*

Seriously, if you're not a) a healer, or b) a squishy, if you see a healer getting attacked, you fucking DROP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND ATTACK THE MOBS KILLING THE HEALER. It doesn't matter if you're a rogue or a warrior.

A. Yes, you should have left. :P

B. Hunters like that piss me off. I encountered one waaaay back when my alliance was in STV.

Hunter: Can u help me kill dis elite plz
me: yeah, I need him anyway.

::group::

he then proceeds to aggro 4 creatures, all of them green to me by one level, and they're at least 2 levels higher than him. He sends his pet in and stands back firing, then they go to him and as soon as all 4 go to him, he FDs. STAYING THAT WAY UNTIL I CLEAR THEM OUT. I had to use a fucking potion.

Hunter: ty ty ty ty ty so much.
me: don't ever do that again.
Hunter: wut
me: FD and make me take all the aggro, just because I'm a rogue doesn't mean I can take a beating. I'm not a tank.
Hunter: k sry

we go into the cave and then we meet up with a 40 warrior and he joins up, cause he has to do the elite quest also. everything's fine until we get up to the elite...

Hunter draws aggro before I can sap, warrior is DESPERATELY trying to tank the elite and the other 2 non-elites. Now the elite is orange to me (by 1 level) so I have a hard time trying to attack it. I'm having to go between all three because the hunter FD's and then doesn't stay on a single target, while I have to help the warrior fight whatever he's on. Warrior dies, I then think "Ok the hunter will come in and melee and help me out." NOPE. So I die and I get pissed off.

Hunter: did u kill it.
me: no. I'm done. ::leave group::
Hunter: y did u leeve?
me: because you could have stepped in and helped kill the thing instead of staying range.
Hunter: u r such a moron. im a HUNTER. i RANGE attack, i dont melee
me: You have a SWORD for a reason. USE IT.
Hunter: omg ur such a baby. hunters dont use melee we are RANGED.
me: learn how to play your damn class instead of FDing and staying that way until the battle's over, douche.
Hunter: omg u dont need 2 b playing bcuz u suck and dont no ne thing a/b hunters. HUNTERS DONT MELEE.


it was fucking pointless, what's sad is he's probably end game now and will be one of the ones whining about Brutality Blade being a Hunter weapon and probably has it, too. ._.

I fucking hate people in this game.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The worst arguement I've EVER heard in the damn game was when Brutality Blade dropped off Garr. Both fucking times Hunters were pissed off because they were excluded to roll on it for it being a rogue-set weapon. 20 minutes of screaming, "fuck you"s "not fucking fair"s blah blah blah.

Shit like that is when I seriously consider to not get a new card for the game in 2 weeks and look into a damn MMORPG that there's shit to do in end-game besides raid, raid, raid, grind, raid, grind, raid, raid, and more raiding. I fucking hate the direction Blizzard took Warcraft and changed course mid-flight. But, I guess that's what you get when you hire the most hardcore raiding guild leaders from EQ for dungeon designing and hardcore raid leaders in general for consulting on what "people want in a game".

How ya doing, buddy?

I knew someone was going to bring up Burning Crusade, but you know what? It's probably too little, too late for any kind of content like that. Everything has been raid oriented since the inclusion of Dire Maul. (From my understanding) and I highly doubt there would have even been a "band-aid fix" of tier 0.5 gear (holy shit, what a laugh.) if there hadn't been that article in some magazine saying that Blizzard lied about staying casual friendly.

I'll get the expansion, but as far as I'm concerned, I don't know how much longer after I'll stay. Karazhan will be the first "casual" dungeon that has the 3-5 day timer on it, because of it having something like 18 bosses in it. Oh but don't let the fact it's a level 70 dungeon throw anyone off.

Hellfire Citadel is a 5-man dungeon.. that leads into a raid dungeon.

See, I wouldn't be too pissed about 20 man instances, because hell, UBRS was 15 man. Not that hard to get 5 more. But damn, 40 man instances is just crazy and of course the new tier 3 sets that are rumored to be part of Naxx... yeah, I can just see myself, not even decked out in full tier 0, much less ZG gear, going against guilds who have Naxx on farm status in BGs.

It's all about raiding and people having stupid rules to go along with said raiding. It's just dumb.

You raid dungeons to get loot to prepare you to raid the next... it goes on and on and on.

I'l fucking take it the wrong way, sideways, each every fucking way there is!!!111 heh

I'm full of stress anyway :P, and the game has long since lost it's enjoyment. Mainly after I hit 60 and there wasn't shit to do except raid raid raid. I have time left on my account, I'm not just going to waste it.

It just sucks that Blizzard lied on the selling point of their game, of course, no one wouldn't have bought it if they knew it was just going to end up EverQuest Jr.

Of course there wasn't raid content when the game came out. It was marketed as a MMORPG unlike the rest in which you wouldn't have to raid to progress. Hell, people beat MC before Blizzard were ready for them to, infact I want to say the first guild that beat MC were banned or something. (Don't know how true it is, just what I've heard). You didn't expect to raid from day 1.

Yes, it takes a while for content to be created, and I realize that Naxx was talked about since the beginning, but that doesn't mean in the year and half the game has been out, the last 5-10 man dungeon created was like Dire Maul.

Raiders can't seem to grasp that not everyone wants to raid and that before 60, raiding wasn't necessary.

Quote:

Last I heard there are three wings to it. Two are 5-10 man and one is 40 man.

Oooh two wings. :\ Point is, if I want to experience the lore of the game, I'll have to just join a dumb hardcore raiding guild.

Quote:

I personally enjoy raiding quite a bit. Obviously raiding isn't your cup of tea since you seem to hate everything about it. The expansion should overflow with quests and content just for you. The raiding content they are adding to the current game was very much needed. If my guild and I still had only Molten Core to run after a year and a half I'd probably jump into traffic.

Raiding becomes a problem, when people make it a chore. Rules about showing up, point-based "bartering" systems, people screaming at each other over vent. Fuck man, I've been told I need to go into a complete 51 point def spec because apparently if you have all 51 points into prot, it makes you a "better tank".

It's just... ridiculous at all the shit that goes on. All for virtual items.

I actually know someone who was kicked out of a hardcore raiding guild, because he couldn't make the raid runs due to him MOVING. That's why I hate raiding. Because it just seems everyone has to make all these shitty rules just so they can make themselves feel big and important.

This is a game, it shouldn't be treated like a chore. :\

Also, I never once said it wasn't needed, just that damn man. BWL/ZG/AQ20 and 40 all in a row. Now with people being able to down C'Thun (Which probably had a block on it to prevent it from being beatable until Blizzard was ready to release Naxx) here comes Naxx with like 5 wings or something. heh. I give it a month before some guild gets to the last part. :P

Ok, I'm done ranting. It just pisses me off the direction the game went into, so are alot of people sadly. :\

Oh and I also go into MC, but we'll wait and see how long that lasts.

PPS: You do realize that I'm just starting shit for teh sake of putting life back in this thread, right? :P Although I'm really pissed at the fact the game did a complete 180 and it is RAID or DIE at the end. :\

Most amazing jew boots

Nah, see here's where I lie. I understand there are both parts to the game. 1-59 then 60-raid. While I agree that there should be challenging raids and shit, it's just ridiculous that you have to progress through raiding. Do I want better gear? Yes. Am I asking for easy epics? No.

No, C'Thun shouldn't be downed 5-man. LOL. But at the same time, although from what I hear, nothing really exciting drops except enchants and maybe a weapon and piece of armor or two from AQ. I'm just worried more about thegear disparity in the game.

Honestly, the 0.5 is a joke of a "fix" when you think about it. It's just a different pallet (sp?) tier 0 armor with a few "upgraded stats" but the exact same bonuses, except they're in reverse. Sure, I happen to think Heroism looks better than Valor as well as the upgraded Shadowcraft, Lightforge and a couple of others, look better than the original. But it really doesn't do anything to cover the gap. I think that's the biggest problem most casual people have. It's not really fair to go into AV or 60s WSG/AB with people decked out in tier 2 shit. It actually sucks. On my warrior I have almost 8000 armor and 385 defense (that's if I have all my +Def shit equipped) and I still get owned in 3-4 hits by someone who hits me for like 1500-2000 crits 3-4 times in a row, because they have Ashkandi or other ridiculously high-tiered items like that.

Sure, I do MC 2 nights a week, in a guild that doesn't do DKP. (which is awesome for me, because I dislike DKP and no, I don't want to get into another DKP discussion so I'll drop it there.) and it's not on farm status just yet. (The guild was a former raiding guild that split due to different raiding perspectives, that had MC, Ony and part of BWL on farm status so now they're having to relearn everything again with a new crew)

I dunno, I just fear when the expansion comes out, it'll indeed have a plethora of new content, but then after that, it'll all be raid content again until another stink is raised and put in a public media form to have Blizzard once again make "band-aid fixes" and "promises" of new content.

Hell, everyone's already calling this game EverQuest's Little Sister, in which what was led to believe wasn't going to be like EQ at all. :\

Maybe the new Warhammer online game coming out will be cool.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
