Sounds interesting, actually. I may have to refine my view of WoW. Dang, I liked being smug in my beliefs.

Me, with my matching armor sets. Very hard to coordinate armor sets so that you don't look like a bum, but it's doable.


Gem: Just FYI - PVP in WoW works like this: In 'Controlled' areas you cannot attack enemies unless they are flagged for PVP (Which happens by them turning it on manually, attacking you, or buffing PVP flagged allies). This means that I can't go into the Barrens and kill anyone I like. This makes it thusly more difficult. In Contested Areas, you can attack any enemy no matter what. This essentially protects lowbies from being ganked by high levels.


I have lots of stories of PVP, I'm pretty notorious for killing Horde... have had complaints on the forums about me :)

There's a quest south of Ratchet for Horde that requires you to escort a prisoner out of Northwatch Keep, a human fortress. The quest ends in Ratchet, and after I hopped off the boat I noticed an entourage following the Blood Elf. I quickly ducked inside a building and poisoned my daggers... crippling poison so no one can run, and instant poison so no one will live. I made my way to the top, where I shot that picture, then hopped down and hid in the bushes near the path. That way if they happened to spot through my stealth, I'd still be hard to see. They approached closer, so I moved into place. I then used my 'KOD' macro, which causes me to blow a kiss to the target, say 'May Elune have mercy on your soul' in Darnassian (Elvish native tongue), then I Ambushed him for a high-damage critical strike. Killed the NPC (Ruining the quest... and that quest is a pain in the ass), jumped into a flurry of blades and eliminated their mage, which was the biggest threat. Everyone was freaking out at this point, and began to attack me. I threw a flashbomb and faded into the shadows... then slowly stalked them down one-by-one.

After causing an hours or so worth of trouble, I got chased out of the Barrens (Headed to Stonetalon) by an ARMY of Horde. Nearly to Stonetalon, I jumped into a group of fallen trees and stealthed, then slipped out before they could find me.

In Stonetalon, I ran into a group of four undead - a mage, priest, rogue, and warlock. A good group. As a whole, they were a few levels under me, but they could easilly whoop my ass if they used teamwork.

I basically skirted from tree to tree stalking them, laughing at them, I even got close enough that they could hear the laugh emotes. In time, I would now and then sneak out, use my KOD emote, blow em a kiss and talk to them in Darnassian, then kill the one I kissed, and dissapear. I hunted this group for a long time before a mage about 5 levels higher then me showed up and tried to track me down with no luck.

On that day alone I probably got over 2 dozen kills by myself.



By the way, play on Test Server 12 with Nooblet and I. I'm pretty sure that even though it's a mountain server it's located in California, since the server time is Pacific. Furthermore, it's not overcrowded. The Coastal Servers are so packed it'll be a nightmare when you begin playing for Open Beta, don't say I didn't warn you.

god. damn. uranub... That kicks ass!
Thanks to you, I am now rethinking my whole plan of being a nightelf hunter. Playing as a rouge sounds so much cooler. I would have paid to see all that happen.

By the way, what lvl are ya when you did all this? if that can be done at a lower level i can only imagine the chaos you can cause when you get really up there.

this is all i got to show for what i did in the stress test. This was taken inside the valley of trials, the orc starting area. I was able to sneak in without any guards seeing me. Just me and my pet raptor that i got from deep within enemy territory.  :ph34r:

So how many servers are there?  For open beta we should seriously work out some sort of system so we can play together.  Anyone up to the task of organizing this, and keeping track of who's doing what race/class?

I'm currently planning on doing Dwarf Hunter and have a friend who's up for Dwarf Paladin, if we get in.

I heard Hunter sucks, as does Paladin. But that's just for PvP *shrugs*

I think I heard Uranub or someone say that they improved the Paladin, Zero. Note I haven't played the game. I've only heard this.

they changed a lot on paladin, it seems nice now. hunter got talents same as paladin last patch. dunno about hunter, but everyone seems to want to make a dwarf gun hunter(racial passive of +5 to guns), they don't seem too horrible though, pet and ranged stuff :E

warrior however, is complete crap unless you go 1h/shield. 2h maybe, but dual wield is that horrible on warrior. 2h wasn't great though, my friend made a rogue and he's outdamaging his 2h warr(who was 20) at sub10, with 1 weapon, and seems to hold aggro better too :/

more later!

I've become addicted to the trailer, but I must know; Those of you who have played the beta, would it be worth playing and paying for?

I dont think I can say it enough :D
I am getting off my lazy ass to get a job JUST to pay for this.
I played the first stress test, and I have seen more lag in released MMOs than in their stress test :p
everything about it is wonderful.

Actually, I WAS talking about the Paladin and Hunter post-patch. While the Paladin DID get lots of new toys, the holy line still sucks in it. Honestly, I think Paladin would be only situationally useful in PvP, might be better in PvE *shrugs*

I know for a fact that the guild I'm in will be sporting 1-2 Paladins and 1 Hunter on release, just to see if they improved any or are worth anything then.

Also: PvP in WoW apparently r0x0rz, compared to Guild Wars and SWG, that is.

You're a god damn TANK and you wear PLATE MAIL. He wears LEATHER. What did you expect to happen? Warriors are there to taunt and keep aggro. Rogues draw a ton of aggro (as well as mages) because they deal a lot of damage.
