i probably wont be getting it right away, but most likely I'll be a Nightelf Rogue. as to profession and server, I don't know yet but it will definetly be PvP. I'll probably make a human or an orc warlock as well. I just love infernals.

Post by: Grimm on November 20, 2004, 02:10:30 AM
Everyone seems to want to create a a Warlock for the Infernals, yet nobody seems to realize that the Infernals are a level 50 spell; I very highly doubt more than half of anyone creating a Warlock will actually get that high.

I am planning on making an Undead Warlock, not because of the Infernals, but because I've liked the idea ever since they officially announced all the races and classes many many months ago. I had been debating the idea ever since I found out there are going to be a lot of Undead Warlocks, but I decided I'm not going to throw away my original plan on account of a bunch of other people. I'm not exactly sure on my professions yet though; Mining and Engineering were a lot of fun in the Open Beta, so I might stick with them.

A Lunixmonster guild wouldn't be very in character, I'd suggest some other name.
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: fatty on November 20, 2004, 12:12:34 PM
server: where ever nooblet grimm and vinegar go
race: orc, troll, or tauren
class: mage, priest, shaman, or druid, whichever we need most.
profession: whatever we don't already have. maybe herb/enchanting or tailor/skinning?

and the guild name should be "Death to Gnomes" or so. peacefull towards human/dwarf/nightelf (unless being attacked) , and lust for gnome blood whenever possible.

Although I am not going to play, I would suggest you play on the east coast incase we have any euros who might want to join in ;).

Post by: Grimm on November 20, 2004, 01:16:29 PM
It doesn't matter, fo0l, Blizzard has an extremely stupid system set up where people will be forced to play on 'localized' servers; North Americans play on North American Servers, Asians play on Asian servers, etc. A very bad decision on Blizzard's part, but they don't seem too keen on changing it any time soon.

Post by: Doobie Dan on November 20, 2004, 05:54:56 PM
Since you all are planning on playing Horde, I'll probably be on an East Coast server unless you can convince me otherwise...

Dwarf Hunter, Leatherworking

Might go for a Shaman though...
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Nooblet on November 20, 2004, 07:32:13 PM
Fatty you should go Tauren Druid so then I can go Warrior and if you go Tauren we can group and lvl faster being togeather.

I was also thinking about setting up on Central servers other than west coast so that if we have players wanting to play from the east having our game on central might be better.

And I ment a Lunixmonster guild as in the Lunixmonster community having a guild not as that Lunixmonster is the name.
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Grimm on November 20, 2004, 10:53:56 PM
If we get enough East and West coasters, choosing a central server would be a good idea.

I wouldn't worry too much about starting a guild too much yet, it requires a good amount of people and the tabards cost 1 gold, which is quite a bit for earlier levels.

Doobie: I made a Troll Shaman for the Stress Test, and I was really surprised by how much fun it was. Originally, I thought it was basically a casting/buffing class meant for parties, but I solo'd a lot of the time and found that the Shaman can be a major damage dealer, a sort of tank/healer hybrid.

precisely, which would mean that if i choose to be a warlock, i would dedicate all my WoW time to it and by the time to get to that level, i may hopefully be one of the few to have a pet infernal. I like the possibility of being 'one of the few', instead of 'another one of those'.

The whole Warlock Infernal thing is more of an endgame goal for those people who want to use it, I think. Anyways, update from me:

Server: East 4? (I think that's the server, PvP) (I'll fix this when we find out for sure)

Faction: Horde

Race: Undead, most likely

Class:  Warlock or Mage
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: fatty on November 21, 2004, 11:40:03 AM
i'd rather be on central but i'll go wherever you guys go.
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Nuketheplace on November 21, 2004, 11:53:24 AM
I'll be playing where every you guys play probably as a Troll Mage.

You should join us; It's very likely that we'll be on a central server, and we're definitely getting on a PvP server.

Is anyone else here playing Alliance?  If not, I wouldn't worry about bringing you all away from your west coast servers.
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Nooblet on November 21, 2004, 07:16:18 PM
Doobie: We chose to do alliance for the open beta so that we could to horde fresh and new on release. Most of us are choosing horde you should too.
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Zero7 on November 21, 2004, 07:29:28 PM
TBH, I'd love to play with you guys, but seriously, do NOT go Central. Everyone and their mother is going Central 1, so unless you feel like having long wait times to play...
Update on the server situation: looks like we're going East 1 (or whatever the hell the first PvP server on East is).

More on this on Tuesday/Wednesday. Until then, I tip my hat to thee and toast to good battles on the PvP front (I look forward to fighting with/against ya'll)

Edit: and if ya'll are cool, I'll post a couple guides to make things easier, yea.

Post by: Vinegar Ninja on November 21, 2004, 07:41:07 PM
imma make my main char, prolly a undead mage on a west coast server. Ill still play with you guys, but it wont be the main one, ill be a tailor or whatever profession you need, but I like playing where I know I got a better chance of no lag :p
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Grimm on November 21, 2004, 09:10:01 PM
The farthest I'll be going is a Central server; I don't mind meeting half way to play with anyone on the Atlantic side, but I've learned my lesson about unconfirmed server information. A certain somebody said "Let's all play on a Mountain server for the open beta, everyone will be going east or west coast", but the Mountain servers were more populated than any others I saw. So it would be in our best interest to confirm how populated different servers are before making any assumptions.

Hey I said lets go mountain cause Uranub was there. Blame him not me :p
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Doobie Dan on November 22, 2004, 10:08:06 AM
Looks like I might be playing with you all after all... I think I'll be leaving the guild that's currently setting up over here because of the ridiculous powergamer aspect that's forming... from an email...
Quote
9am tuesday: acquire game
1pm Tuesday: acquire lvl 10
every free moment from tuesday till ???: play wow
For some reason, just being associated with powergamers really turns me off from the game.  Maybe it ruins the illusion/immersion of the world for me, I don't know (I don't have many hours to play so I play purely for the fun of exploration).  At any rate I'll check with the last sane friend I have who's actually staying for retail, and if he sticks with them, I might be joining you.

if you have no one going alch, be alch/herb, and start it early on. it goes along with your level nicely, and the potions aren't something a support character can be without.
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Vinegar Ninja on November 22, 2004, 11:32:12 AM
alch is really nice early, but it can get to be REALLY hard later on. You need fishing, and you need to know where those hard to get herbs are. Oily blackmouth is annoying to fish for, and stranglekelp is rare as all hell.
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: DiscoZombie on November 22, 2004, 12:09:43 PM
I was an undead warlock and I will probably continue to be one.  theoretically I should try something different, but... but, DAEMONS...

as for server, if people decide to go to an east server, yay.  I wish the NS.org (now .com) forums were up; I like coordinating w/ as many ppl as possible :>

edit: btw, what's a good job for a warlock?  I tried alchemy and wasn't all that happy with it.  it was annoying to always be short 1 reagent or another, though I guess that's the case with any profession.  

so if I don't want to be an alch again, is engineer any good for a warlock, or are there mail and leather restrictions that'll make it pointless?  should I go tailor or enchanter instead?  I fear going enchanter - that's gotta be hella expensive :>
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Grimm on November 22, 2004, 02:34:49 PM
I think I'm going to stick with Mining and Engineering; I had a lot of fun creating random things, like the Mechanical Squirrels, and people will pay a decent amount if they really want something simple like copper ore or bars.

Herbalism for a Tauren isn't a bad idea considering they get a 15 skill point starting bonus to it, similar to how Gnomes get a 15 skill point bonus to Engineering.

DiscoZombie: There are a number of Engineering schematics (recepies) that require different kinds of leather, but it isn't a problem if you know anyone who skins, or if you're willing to wait you can buy some for reasonably cheap prices at the auction houses. Almost everything an Engineer makes, the Engineer can use, and there are a number of items (Such as the special Goggles) that can only be used by Engineers.

Doobie: I agree on the power levelling bit. Sure, you get to the end game faster, and you can take people on in PvP sooner, but you skip so much of the game and the random stories and the adventures. That's the only problem I see in choosing a PvP server at the moment though, having to deal with all the power levelling guilds that will be there.
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: DiscoZombie on November 22, 2004, 04:34:52 PM
yeah, I guess my real question is whether anything important an engineer creates can only be worn by people who can wear mail... which would be sucky for a warlock :/
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: duherman on November 22, 2004, 05:02:57 PM
I'm planning to buy this but I'm probaly just going to play with the free 1 month trial then stop, I cant afford paying every month to play. Unless someone wants to pay for me!
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Grimm on November 22, 2004, 07:14:42 PM
Well, Engineers don't make any armor, so you wouldn't have to worry about the mail thing, and from what I've seen their weapon creation is limited to guns of varying power.

Intensity Rising: I'd say you're better off saving your money. World of Warcraft has been fun for me, but I wouldn't buy the full version just to play it for a month. Unless you played it a lot and/or joined a power levelling guild, you wouldn't see much of the later game, and it would probably be better to buy a game that you can play as much as you want for the money you've got.

Now, before anyone runs off on a whiny tangent about how "Eww, you have to buy the game, and then buy it again and again every month", stop and think; For those of us that are getting the game, it's obviously entertaining enough to warrant the monthly fee, and it really isn't that much of a problem if you're running off of more than a weekly allowance.

I agree.  compare it to going to a movie or something.  if you see 2 movies a month, that's (probably) about the price WoW is gonna be.  now that's 4 hours of entertainment.  assuming you play WoW more than 4 hours a month, you're getting your money's worth.

Post by: Nooblet on November 22, 2004, 11:56:49 PM
alright now that we have most of our race/class/professions picked we need a server. We can still go Central, try and find the lowest population but I think every server will be crammed so it wont matter much, or we can do a mountain again as a last resort. We need to take into account the players on both sides of the country.

Place any ideas or votes on where we should play.

found a list of server here:

http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/serverforums.shtml (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/serverforums.shtml)

Central - Stormreaver

Again lets try and think about everyone on both sides of the country, I would like to make this happen.
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Zero7 on November 23, 2004, 05:29:50 AM
Alright, found out what server my guild is going to: Tichondrius - Alliance.

I doubt many of you will go there, so I guess I won't be able to play with ya'll often, but I'll try.
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: lolfighter on November 23, 2004, 06:24:29 AM
Just like Grimm says: Paying full retail for a game and then only being able to play it for a month is an incredible waste of money. Since you can't pay for it monthly, you're in no position to waste money. Buy a game that you can enjoy for longer than that.
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: DiscoZombie on November 23, 2004, 06:37:34 AM
I think by 'buy it again every month' he meant pay the monthly fee... is it true they still haven't decided what that'll be?  I hope they're not holding off telling us cuz it's gonna be some crazy amount...  :o

but yeah, I heard the game cards are coming into stores next week so there WILL be a way to pay the monthly fee.

as for the server, I'm fine with central...
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!

Hey guys,

WHOOP!!!     WOW + Lunixmonster = AWSOME!  I was hoping there would be a lunixmonster guild on WOW eventually, I was lucky enough to play in the open Beta and it was AWSOME!!!  Can't wait to get it.  Most likely I will be restarting my cahracter that I lost at the end of open beta  <_<     I had a lvl 24 dwarven Pally....  :(    Ohh well.  The name will be Kaelif and I'll be on any server you guys plan to use.  Although it would be cool, if it was a PVP server..... Don't know why it wouldn't be.  PVP is fun.....  >:D .

Post by: Nooblet on November 23, 2004, 09:41:31 PM
I need verification of everyone whos going to play. I dont need mabeys or I mights i want AWNSERS we need to decide on a server NOW!.

The 2 central servers with the lowest pings around 110+/-

Sargeras

or

Azgalor

I ping a bit better on Sargeras then I do on Azgalor.
So I vote Sargeras on Central so LMers from both sides and inbetween the country can be in relative comfort ping zones

i'll be playing west coast. I got 5 friends here who will be playing too, so i might be following them. They seem to want to play on Ner'Zhul, so... i guess i'll be there.

...westcoasters come to ner'zhul. the hypnotoad commands it!
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Doobie Dan on November 24, 2004, 01:11:14 PM
Nooblet, I'll leave it up to you.  If none of you have started yet, I recommend picking one of the servers that wasn't on the original list, as you won't have to compete with the monster clans.  Just let me know whenever you pick one.
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Avs on November 24, 2004, 01:30:13 PM
Im going to be on the WEST servers, mostly because I have connection problems anywhere else. As for character, we'll have to see. Some of the past clans that I have been in are going to be starting there, so until my connection gets better (not 250 ping to central servers) Ill be on the west coast...perhaps Ill see some of you around (depending on which servers Im on).
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Doobie Dan on November 24, 2004, 03:17:41 PM
Since I haven't heard a word from you all - Spinekiller, West server for Horde.

EDIT: Yep, just for you, Vinnie.
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: ThoraX on November 24, 2004, 05:26:51 PM
damnit... dunno what server to play on!!!

there's an old guild i played with that's going Central on mal'ganis, a group of friends here from school going pacific on Ner'Zhul, another group of friends i met during the stress test that im trying to get in contact with, and then there's you guys...

man, picking a server is such a hard decision for me.. i wanna play pacific for hopefully the least amount of lag and such, but i got friends playing in central and eastern servers.. I'll have to decide by tonight i suppose. -_-
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Nooblet on November 24, 2004, 07:42:35 PM
Doobie we are going to Sargeras/Central this is official. Everyone is making or moving their chars here.

I ping around 40ms here so you ppl on the coasts should get a really good ping.
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!

Why not just say it in the first place?

At any rate, how do you move characters?

Yea sorry you gotta make a new char.

Ok ppl and what they are.

I am a Tauren/Warrior with Mining/Blacksmithing as my skills.

fatty = Wakar
grimm = Grimmus

From the World of Warcraft site:

Quote
When choosing your server for the first time, the server wizard will suggest a server with low load to improve your game-play experience. However, if you decide to pick your own server to play on, we suggest picking a server where the population is not high during peak hours (peak hours are 6pm through midnight in your local time zone). This will help you avoid server queues.

So far I haven't seen a single queue on any of the servers added post-launch, and seen decent queues on the PVP servers listed pre-launch.  If you don't have a bunch of folks you know already on these servers and you aren't starting first day, there's really no reason to go to the pre-launch servers (not even mentioning the fact that you'd be competing with the power PVP guilds).

However, I think I'm alone on this one and I'm through arguing, so when I get back from Thanksgiving I'll just hop on whichever server you all are playing on and start my character over.

BTW, post your character's names when you create them so we can add them to the in-game list.  Shaman, btw.

EDIT: Didn't see Nooblet's last when writing that.  I will be Orc Shaman with Skinning/Leatherworking, my friend will be another warrior race unknown (he was going to go human).  I'll post my name once I'm sure the one I'm planning on isn't taken.  I like the idea of NS-related guild name - Frontiersmen or Constellation both sound good.

This is Grimmus (I was surprised and very pleased to discover the name hadn't been taken) my (at the moment) level 14 Undead Warlock on the Central server Sargeras.

Oh, if you get the chance to listen to it, the soundtrack for the game is very very very cool. An hour and sixteen minutes of awesome orchestral songs, I definitely recommend it.

i've got myself a lvl 21 NE rogue on Ner'Zhul. I'll get yous all a pic when i get home maybe.

I freaking love this game.. I just did the VanCleef quest the other day and i must say that so far, that has been the coolest experience in any MMO i've played. The battle with the tauren named Mr. Smite was the highlight of the whole quest. I'd have never expected a little scripted sequence during the fight. I thought he would fight nonstop until he died like the other guys.

When we fought this guy, he was using a little sword against us and we were doing pretty good against him. Once we got him down to half health he stomped the ground, stunning us all, then said (in text and audio) something along the lines of "you guys are better than you look. I'll have to improvise". then he ran over to a chest and pulled out two huge axes and charged back into battle. Once we got him down to 25% health he stunned us again and ran back to the chest, and pulled out a huge warhammer and atacked us again. When he died i looted that warhammer from him corspe and i keep it in the bank as a trophy.

...also i am a chest whore. something about playing a rouge makes me greedy... :ph34r:

yea, the deadmines instance is awesome. the ragefire chasm and wailing caverns can't really compare, but WC is pretty nice as far as exp and items go, but its really a one time around thing(you have to do the entire cave and every boss, go back to start, escort a guy, then do a few fights before the final boss comes, who drops some really insane stuff.)

we got this staff i'll have to get the stats to, but it was like 21 dps with about 5 nature res and like 7 int with some other stat, and some nice blue ring with spirit/int.

nice. :> I think you dirty alliance mofos have the more well-scripted quests, and more quests in general... I'm not really complaining though.  GLORY TO THE HORDE!

I think I'm going to give up my hunter.  I love the concept of having pets and all that, but at lvl 23, I went forward and looked at what spells/skills I have to look forward to... and from 23-60, there's pretty much NO new interesting skills for hunter... and I couldn't bear to think of playing the rest of the game with the same exact fighting pattern as lvl 23 =/

I'm gonna go back to my original plan of warlock...

DZ, if you want to play a class that isn't "finished" at lvl 20, try a Shaman.  I played one in OB up to lvl 28, and there were plenty of spells and abilities still to go.  That said, they have a lot of ways to control other players in a pvp fight (lots of slows, and they can be faster) so don't be surprised if they get a slight nerf.

Post by: DiscoZombie on November 30, 2004, 11:46:46 AM
yeah, I considered a shaman, I know their reputation for being kinda uber, but I tried it til about lvl 10 and it just wasn't clicking with me.  maybe I shouldn't be so hasty...

but I played a warlock to 19 and it was still appealing to me... yeah, the eventually get mainly upgrades, but I still had the summons to look forward to, a few fire spells, creating a few more stones, etc... and I just found it the most fun so far...

I used to play Hunter and now I'm on Shaman, and combat certainly is a lot less repetitive by comparison.

I'm greatly enjoying the diversity in gameplay the Warlock presents with the different pets. I can use my voidwalker to tank while I deal most of the damage through curses, ailments, and direct blasts, so I'll use him against tougher enemies (such as unique creeps). However, I do end up using a bit of mana each fight with the Voidwalker, which is why the Succubus is nice for cutting through enemies; She deals a nice amount of damage while I tank a creep, and there's pretty much no downtime for quite a few fights. In a big group with enough tanks and good damage dealers, the Imp provides some nice buffs and has a solid fireball attack. I've yet to get to 30, but I hear the Felhound is good against casters, eating up their mana and whatnot.

Ragefire is an extremely annoying instance, I just really don't like how it's set up. Wailing Caverns is great for drops, although I agree that the Deadmines are awesome. Anyone playing a rogue should try to stealth walk from the entrance to the Goblin forge area sometime; I had to do that twice in Open Beta after almost everyone died, and we needed a third person to get to the Warlock to summon everyone else there. Quite the experience.

sneaking around as a rogue is surprisingly entertaining for an activity that has no rewards other than bragging rights and pickpocketing everything you pass.

btw anyone else use Cosmos UI tweak (http://www.cosmosui.org)?  highly recommended :> coolest features are a quest tracker that displays active quest objectives, additional toolbars, a DPS tracker (including DPS for each of your spells, pet, etc), auto-tell group when you need healing, etc etc etc.  

it's also very modular, and I plan on adding a couple features tonight - such as a bag autosort mechanism, and a macro to use my warlock's healthstones without having to re-drag it to the toolbar every time I use one...

plugging aside, my warlock just started her own guild on Gorefiend, "The Lost Cause"... it's not a NS/LM guild, but at least it's a guild. :>
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Grimm on December 02, 2004, 08:32:30 AM
I've already made it very, very clear to Nooblet (who's very persistent about it) that I'm not going for an NS themed guild on Sargeras. Partially because we don't have many 'NS people' on the server, but mostly because it gets old after a while (Couple NS clans for Kingdom of Loathing, NS guild for City of Heroes), and I just don't want it to relate to something I don't enjoy anymore.
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: DiscoZombie on December 02, 2004, 08:46:02 AM
well it'd be decidedly stupid to make a guild NS themed if there were more than just NS people in it... that said, if we DID happen to all be on one server, which we're not, I think it'd be amusing to be in a clan with ranks called Cormandor, Onos, Lork, etc, with a TSA-green tabard...

I'd kind of like the guild just to be a brief homage to NS, not dedicated to it.  I liked Nooblet's idea of Frontiersmen.  Just call it that, but don't advertise its origin or make it affect other stuff (like ranks).  It sounds like a natural guild name to people who have never played NS, so they'll never know the difference.

However, if you all want to do something else I'm fine with that too, it doesn't really matter one way or another.  Just send me the invite when you do.   :lol:

Btw, my buddy finally got WoW and started last night (I didn't play at all yesterday so I'm not sure what his character name is yet, prolly Bastadon), so he'll be joining us too.  Orc Warrior iirc.

Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: DiscoZombie on December 03, 2004, 03:29:53 PM
sorry to report, but the autosorter thingy is broken =x

http://www.cosmosui.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1313 (http://www.cosmosui.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1313)

well, not utterly broken, just buggy... like, it has a 'feature' to autosort every time you pick something up, but of course sorting means it goes through your entire inventory, moving everything, monopolizing your cursor for a few seconds, etc... which really sucks if you just got 1 piece of junk from a corpse while you're in combat...

and the ability to turn off the auto-sort (so that it only sorts on command) seems to not be working atm :(

but I swear the other features rawk you =P lemme take a quick SS of my interface...

things worth noting: 2 sidebars, quest monitor, DPS monitor, clock, xp monitor/other stats, buff info/timeleft, soulshard monitor (for warlocks), clunky xp bar moved to portrait, macros to attack + send pet to attack w/ 1 button and to use a healthstone w/o dragging it to my toolbar every time I use one...

edit: of course those huge windows aren't always there - everything is fully smart and configurable and the detail windows only come up when you hover over their tiny counterparts.

There's a level 45+ Night Elf hunter named Vixen on Sargeras who runs around the Hillsbrad areas ganking people with loads of other Alliance... people. If you ever complain about being ganked while doing a quest, people on your own side will start bashing you, going on about how "This is a PvP server ololo". They don't seem to understand that there is a difference between PvP and a bunch of level 40+ ganking everyone in the area. Vixen's been levelling so fast, I wouldn't be surprised if a group of Alliance will be able to take the Tarren Mill guards in a week or two. Major pain in the ass, I really hope they impliment some sort of honor system soon.
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Doobie Dan on December 08, 2004, 10:05:13 AM
Agreed big time.  I refuse to engage in PvP until the honor system gets implemented.  I'm guessing it was slated to go in already but the devs got occupied with the other problems that appeared.  Hopefully someone who makes too many dishonorable kills will be prevented from "ganking" someone of significantly lower level...
Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Crispy on December 08, 2004, 10:52:32 AM
How exactly does the game define something as honourable or not? I'm not trying to be clever I just genuinely don't know 'cause I don't have the game...

it was announced, back in the day, that killing people that are WAY lower than your level, like 10 and such would get you "dishonor points" these keep adding up and no ones gonna consider you home. Eventually your equip would wear out and start to break, but no ones gonna repair it for ya cause your an outlaw.

I just grind, really really boring, so I usually switch it up with quests every other day or so. Anyways, my levelling areas went something like:
1) Nub Areas/Secondary Nub Area (i.e. IF > Stormwind) to 15+
2) Westfall - 20
3) Redridge/Duskshire - 30
4) Southshore/Desolace/Badlands - 35
5) I'll prolly be going to Arathi/Desolace again soon. Don't know yet.

Above was for Alliance, mainly, though I s'pose Horde could generally do the same (with their own respective areas, of course). Those aren't my actual level numbers when I moved on, just a general range of my level.

Right now, the guild leader is grinding his professions and gathering a lot of the materials we'll need, along with farming equipment and stuff (since no one else on our server can take the mobs he can so far =P)

Noticed a general trend in those rarer item drops: If no one has camped the spawn for a while, higher chance of getting the rare items (Leader got non-stop blue drop after blue drop when he moved to a new area no one else went to yet)

Title: World Of Warcraft Release!
Post by: Grimm on December 12, 2004, 02:39:46 AM
Most of my PvP experiences thus far have been pretty bad. There isn't any kind of honor system, so people who are 10+ levels higher than you are free to roam around and basically harvest you like wheat. However, there have been a few PvP encounters that were fun or too funny.

An example of the latter was when two enemies attacked me after I'd just finished off a creep. I usually don't have a chance against a good hunter, let alone a hunter and some kind of buddy, but it was worse in this scenario because I was ambushed by two hunters. The Dwarf hunter made the mistake of running out after me, so he became my primary target. I sacrificed my Voidwalker to give me a damage absorb sheild for a short while as I blasted and afflicted him. I got him down to a sliver of health before he used a potion, and I got him very low again before they killed me. Fortunately, being a warlock, I have soulstones, which allow me to ressurect on the spot instantly, once every half hour as long as I store my soul. I notice the injured dwarf and his night elf buddy weren't moving away, and the dwarf wasn't doing anything to heal. So, I ressurrected on the spot, blast the dwarf with a quick fire shot, and he went down. I was laughing so much I didn't care that I died again to the night elf, imagining the look on that guy's face when one second he was standing over a fallen enemy, and the next he had fallen with the enemy standing over him.

I was collecting snuff for a quest right outside of booty bay yesterday.  needed 15 snuff from bloodsail raiders.  got pk'd 17 times before I was done - with no one alliance person killing me more than twice...

they should put in planetside-style balancing til they figure out a better idea... if there's 3x as many alliance as horde on a particular server, horde should get like 50% more hp or stats :D

i must clearify that "Operation Devour Grimm Whole" is a slight variation off of the unsuccessful "Operation Devour Grimm's Hole"

Umm... I assume by Night Elf Hunter here, you mean Paladin... I swear to god, there are more paladins than the rest of the alliance combined...

incorrect. hunters are #1, then paladins, at least for my server. then rogues/warriors fight over next %age ;p

Imagination (http://www.wowrankings.com/viewb.htm?c=view_talents&name=Imagination&s_id=103) <- my character :D update it every time i log off(could be 1-2 times a day tops ;p)

you guys should get wow ranking accs and use it too :) its pretty nice

edit;

also has classes and races from gathered info, obviously not everyone but still something to look at :o

ooooo a druid. must discuss talents!

i see you've ignored feral like me, however we differ on the restoration.
i like my regrowth critical hitting better than improved rejuv.
zero points in combat endurance? i've got 5.
damn i love nature swiftness, i almost didn't get it though.

balance i'm not too far into yet. i probably will get omen of clarity, improved moonfire, and nature's reach which i think will be nice, which i see you've ignored. what are your plans for your last points?

feral = complete crap. maybe for horde it would be nice, but i'm sorry its just horrible for NE druids. really lack the str to even bother trying to deal damage. i'd have to get str on every piece of armor to consider getting near dps of other players, then to find my weapon doesn't affect my forms at all. doesn't even consider the weapon proc, omen of clarity or otherwise. thats imo, at least.

i did actually try feral talents. its a decent line for cat form, extra str/crit/combo points. kinda crappy for bear form, though. it helped a little on dps for cat form, but as i said the base ne str is crap so even the extra did jack. feral charge is idiotic. REQUIRES 5 rage to use, combat-useable though, still kinda crap w/ the minimum range though.

i never use regrowth =/ used to lower, but once i got the talents it just seemed horrible. i guess the casting time is what makes it nice though o_O idk, usually find it better to use healing touch. natures swift = god. innervate = god. only useful active talents for druids atm.

i however, found myself using rejuv a ton. throw it up when people take damage and it will cover most of the damage. w/ gift of nature it gets 20%(unless its 15 then 5 or vice versa, who knows.) stacks with your regular heals, and regrowth. makes it very useful imo :)

in place of regrowth crit as you see i got sublety, i didn't use regrowth so figured i'd try that. its very useful actually, i don't get aggro when i cast rejuv on someone who misses first hit on a mob(thorns considered, i think) :)

as for balance, omen of clarity i'm still playing around with, i'm not sure if its chance is affected by weapon speed or not. gunna test that sometime soon i hope :o pretty nice if you find yourself meleeing a bunch in caster form, though.

improved moonfire is very nice. natures reach i'm getting 1 point into, just finishing the entangling talent atm. getting moonglow once i get 15 points into balance, then i'm 60 so no more talents ;p

oh, i finally got tribal lw. only took me like a week to get the ****ing turtle gloves and scales for everything. but grats2me! :D

And Horde has Shaman, which is just as overpowered as Paladin.

Seriously, is there something about Horde that turns everyone into a whining crybaby? Look at your posts, cry me a :Ding river.

Okay, I'm a level 10 Undead Rouge named Illiris on Sargeras..
A very poor (due to some bad choices) Undead Rouge
A very poor undead rouge who would be more than happy to accept donations  ;)
No, but really.. I'm kinda low on cash and the undead missions, while pretty indepth and fun, don't exactly hand out the best rewards.
So basically anything to help me get the hell out of Trisifil glades quicker would be appriciated

I'm a Level 19 Tauren Druid on Suramar. I hate the barrens with a passion. Biggest region in the game, and you have to go all around it to do stuff. Real pain.

I guess I'm one of the few druids who actually did the waterform quest, so I can turn into a sea lion... I guess that has to count for something...

Catform next level. I can't understand how you guys got all the way up to Level 51, I spend most of my time just running from quest to quest.

Dubbinub, you're on Suramar with me, right?

I made a Troll Rouge and hit level 7 in no joke, an hour. Took me the better part of an afternoon with my druid.

Anyway, my druid is Legotar, and my rouge is Legovar.

My fiancee has her 19 NE Priest on Warsong...

I canceled the subscription a few days ago but it'll go to the 4th because of free days given out.  I'll probably rejoin a few months later when we can play together, but I just got burnt out on it.  I have no hard feelings, it's an awesome game, but no sense paying if you're not playing.

Hopefully when I come back Battlegrounds will be fully online.  Unfortunately, I'm not looking forward to everyone being level 60+ ganking basically everywhere.  Maybe I'll find a new server starting up then...

I cancelled mine today too. Took all my gold and game it to my Guild Master, said thanks, then called it a day.

Hiking across the barrens 4 times for a single quests wears you out. It's just plain stupid.

I still have till the 7th, but I can't see myself playing more.
