Re: World of Warcraft

aghhh screw you squeek

I dont think we're going to get into any of the hard modes, because we only raid twice a week (sunday 9:30 till 12 pst, monday the same time) and everybody's pushing to finish Ulduar.

This means they don't want to try to do naxx 25, they don't want to try to do naxx 10 for people who are missing gear, they don't even want to do OS/VoA, it's ulduarulduarulduar.

Which means me and a druid are the best geared, and we're sitting on two pieces of 25 man gear each.

Re: World of Warcraft

We want to finish Ulduar too but Yogg is really a pain in the ass. XT's hard mode is so much easier than Yogg.

In other news! The Class Q&A on the official forums is out for Shaman! Here're the highlights:

Community Team: Shamans currently have the lowest base health of any class, and this often leads to concern over their survivability.

Q. Is there any reason that they start this way or is there any future change in store to address this disparity between their base health and that of other classes?

A: This is one of those weird legacies that has been in the game forever. Nobody currently working on classes can remember why that decision was initially made, so we plan to revert it for 3.2.

Q. Are there plans to look at totems in general, the way they are managed, their uses, and their benefits in the future?

A: Absolutely. One of the features we have been working on is a way for shamans to drop all four totems at once (on one global cooldown). This will hopefully make the totems more attractive while soloing and will let the shaman in a group environment quickly get his or her totems down again if the group has to move or they get destroyed. We’d like to get this feature in soon, but we want to make sure the user-interface works well and feels integrated to the rest of the game, so we can’t yet announce a date. And of course, this is still in the planning stage, and so subject to change.

Q. And, what are the possible impacts of considering changes to a system like this?

A: Sometimes you will see the community suggest ideas that basically write totems out of the game. That’s not what we want. A shaman player should care about totems and use them often. Obviously being able to drop four totems on one global cooldown is a pretty decent buff to the class as a whole, which will require some balance attention.

One longer-term change we are considering is removing the buff totems (replacing them with normal spells) and making all of the totems do something more active, like the current damage or healing totems. We’ve even discussed letting shamans carry a totem on their back (the tauren do it already) but that may be too far out there.

Q. Is the change in how shamans are used situational only as we move forward into the next encounters, or is this a shift in philosophy as to the role of the shaman in raids?

A: Elemental shamans have had a couple of opportunities to shine in Ulduar -- blowing up constructs on Ignis is one example. We try to make sure the encounters are diverse enough that the same classes aren’t always in the spotlight on every encounter, but we also don’t want to constrain our encounter designers’ creativity too much. Elemental may suffer from so many fights in Ulduar requiring movement. Also, while we have given Elemental strong AoE in the form of the Magma Totem, some players feel like this comes at too high a cost to their buffs and mobility, so this is something we’ll look at.

Yessss. Maybe now I'll finally level up my ALLIANCE shaman so I can have one on the same server as my drood.

Re: World of Warcraft

Sigh. Just when I finally decided to buy the faction mounts, they go and cut the costs by 90%.

Re: World of Warcraft

Odds people will get gold based on number of currently purchased mounts as a refund, zero? or elss than zero?

what

that question made no sense

Also, GRRRRRRRR.

I have 90-something Conquest tokens, but I am saving them for when I have 3 pieces of my T8 so I can immediately pick up the fourth piece. So far, I've picked up two pieces. I have been saving DKP like a madman so I can pick up a piece or two. I am a Rogue, and Vanquisher's has a slightly higher droprate than the other two token types.

We killed all the keepers today.

NOT A SINGLE VANQUISHER TOKEN.

So I ask who wants to go into a 10 man, then when I hear there's a group started by one of my good guild friends, I ask him for a slot.

"actually yesterday at 2am we started a group, and you weren't around, sry bro :<"

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

HOW LONG MUST I WAIT.

Re: World of Warcraft

Less than zero.

Even someone like me, who has only been playing for a few months, can tell that they have no intentions of refunds, ever.

Re: World of Warcraft

Money comes by so easy anyway. Before transferring, I left all my gold on my alt and bought his epic flyer with it. It's been a week since coming to Squeek's server and I have 700 G from pretty much doing a couple of dailies and quests.

Re: World of Warcraft

Oh I know Gold comes easy, but still, there are people who've bought 50, 60 mounts from vendors at pretty steep prices compared to the upcoming discounts. You'll notice I said zero or less than zero. Actual odds weren't included because I'm not a moron.

Re: World of Warcraft

Thank you for the old news.

I do not want a battle.net account and this is Blizz's attempt to force us all to use b.net despite the constant failures of b.net. I collect vanity pets too, but I just can't get this blatant advertising pet.
