I don't have an active account yet, so you tell me,

ackblom12 · « **Reply #251 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 16:03 »

Well, would we prefer a PvE or PvP server? Low or Medium population?

Also, what classes would everyone like?

Alex C · « **Reply #252 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 16:22 »

I'd prefer PvE; I've done the PvP thing and wasn't really impressed. If we go alliance I'll probably be a human ~~rogue~~ warrior or warlock. Expertise+Diplomacy= Win. Horde, probably a warlock or a paladin. Maybe blood elf? I don't know. None of the horde races have ever really done anything for me, other than tauren. At least Draenei get +1 to hit. God knows I'll end up looking to raid at some point eventually anyway, so how much anyone should ever plan around me is up in the air.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #253 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 16:45 »

At this point in the game with the way Battlegrounds are played I'm just as happy to play a PvE server, especially if its just a fun little side thing. I've never geared nor specced myself for PvP either so getting ganked out in the great wide open would be pointless. And then if we really wanted to get the competitive spirit since BGs are cross-server it shouldn't be that bad.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #254 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 16:58 »

PvE sounds good to me. It's not like it removes the opportunity to Raid and all, just means we can quest in peace if we wish.

Looks like there are no low pop PvE servers at all, but there are plenty of mediums. I've already got characters on Elune, so I'd prefer a separate server just to keep things interesting and not be tempted to just send all of my gold to the new character.

Khaz Modan maybe? Not sure which ones that aren't high population that have decent arena (assuming anyone is interested in it) and all that jazz.

Character wise, I think I'd like to roll Wizard this time.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #255 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 17:08 »

God damnit I'm just gonna go ahead and restart my account now and look through servers, after the mega patch I suppose I'll check out working on my mage's new talents, there are some pretty nifty new ones in frost that sound appealing, though I might actually try another specc for once. Would certainly take some getting used to.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #256 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 17:12 »

Any idea what you'd like to try classwise for our little endeavor here?

Alex C · « **Reply #257 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 17:44 »

So, if we're definitely hordeside I'll be a lock or paladin.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #258 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 17:48 »

alright, I've actually decided to go Priest despite my bitching.

Edit - I'm a fucking lier, I'm rolling Shaman.

Alex C · « **Reply #259 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 18:14 »

God damn it people.

I shouldn't complain though. I'm this close to going tauren warrior again. Fuck.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #260 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 18:31 »

Well as soon as this giant goddamn patch finished downloading I'm relatively certain I'm rolling Tauren druid.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #261 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 18:50 »

I'm thinking Troll Shaman.

Any dieas on what professions we're going with? I'm thinking of just going with moneymakers for a good long while. Mining/Skinning or something along those lines.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #262 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 19:12 »

The inscribing profession sounds interesting. I might try it, though its gonna require herbalism I think. come to think of it, you can make insane profits off of herbalism, everyone hates gathering for that.

I still have absolutely zero interest in the Draanei.

What?

Gift of Naru and an always on +1% chance to hit buff for you and all team members.

Plus Draenai have got far more interesting starting zone quests than any other alliance race.

Assuming this is being done on American servers, rather than European I'll create a character for the QC guild, unlikely that he'll be very active, but still fun.
just to confirm: Horde on Khaz Modarn?

ackblom12 · « **Reply #264 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 19:55 »

So far that's what it seems like.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #265 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 20:12 »

I'm not just in it for the racial bonus axerton, my characters have to have a certain aesthetic. Not to mention I'm not as heavy into the idea of PvP as most I suppose.

Alex C · « **Reply #266 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 20:21 »

Alliance never really had much on horde in terms of pvp racials though, really. Perception and escape artist are kinda nice but the NEs got kind of boned on that end, at least compared to WotF, War Stomp and Stun Resistance, anyway.

Yakob · « **Reply #267 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 20:53 »

I'd be up for this QC guild thing. I'd probably roll another rogue, just because i'm so used to playing one. As for horde v. alliance and pvp v. pve, it doesn't matter in the slightest to me.

Oh, and we're talking US servers, right?

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #268 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 20:59 »

Yep, US servers, so roll Horde on Khaz Modan then i guess post your character here so everyone can friend up.

Edit: Right, I'm a tauren druid named Shazrun.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #269 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 21:44 »

Troll Shaman named Dwarfcutter

Alex C · « **Reply #270 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 21:46 »

Tauren warrior, Smuckles.

0bsessions · « **Reply #271 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 22:22 »

I vote Horde. I hate the peppy douche bag Alliance races and desire the ability to be a Tauren.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #272 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 22:23 »

Then roll on Khaz Modan and post your character name and class. I have hit lvl 2. EXCITING.

Alex C · « **Reply #273 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 22:55 »

I just wish there was another race worth playing other than tauren for horde. I'll probably stick with an alliance character somewhere as my main. I want to play a human rogue.

imagist42 · « **Reply #274 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 22:58 »

Everything is more fun when you're a giant War-Stomping cow.

Although Orcs are arguably better Hunters, and Blood Elves make decent magic-types.

Alex C · « **Reply #275 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 23:02 »

Honestly, I think orcs and trolls are both better than blood elves as casters, at least from a PvE perspective. I mean, the silence thing is kinda nice, but trolls can get an on command haste buff and orcs get both stun resistance, increased pet damage and Blood Fury, which is good for a 143 spell power for 15 seconds at 70, which is pretty nifty for warlocks. I just can't stand how non-taurens look, mostly. I play male characters and they all run around slouching like idiots.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #276 on:** 18 Oct 2008, 23:13 »

I actually think most of the horde looks better than the alliance, I mean, dwarves look cool and Night elves are okay, but Horde characters all have more, well, character to them than blank-faced humans or the just plain wierd tentacle rape Dranei. Orcs faces are battle-scarred and fierce, trolls got the face-paint thing and the tusks going on and undead are, well, rotting corpses that mosh.

est · « **Reply #277 on:** 19 Oct 2008, 00:00 »

I'll roll an alt on Khaz Modan later tonight/this week. Mebbe it'll be fun!

Troll rogue named Novembeard

I've made a few possibles. Undead Rogue called Stabbington, Blood Elf Mage called Estarriol & Orc Warrior named Bjorc.

Gonna try to figure out if I want to play another Warrior or if I want to give Rogue or a Mage another go (I've played both before and enjoyed them)

Once you start gearing everything up though you're just left with a dude with weird posture that looks like everyone else. It's the animations that bug me more than anything.

Made an Warlock named Whipstitch (shock, amazement).

did you guys actually make a guild yet?

Dimmukane · « **Reply #283 on:** 19 Oct 2008, 15:18 »

Guys, I have gone through 4 free trials with this game. I get to level 12 and just get tired of it. Am I doing something wrong? I mean, I'll play for a few levels, uninstall the game, and six months later get the trial again and repeat. Why can't I stick with this game for more than a few days?

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #284 on:** 19 Oct 2008, 16:23 »

We haven't made the guild yet but there's several of us on the server. Speaking of, what should the name of the guild be?

axerton · « **Reply #285 on:** 19 Oct 2008, 16:41 »

One of the things that influences my liking of a race is their hight, or rather lack thereof. Because when you're running along with giant a Tauren or Draenei taking huge strides you feel like you're going much slower than the dwarf or gnome despite the fact that they're going at the same speed, because the shorties have to move their legs just that much faster, makes me feel like I'm actually going somewhere with purpose. However this isn't enough to stop me liking my Draenei Mage main (now lvl 48) because the big blue dudes are just cool, as long as you avoid the faces that are too tentacle-y.

Oh, and I'm a Forsaken Priest called Axerton cos I couldn't be bothered being original.

Questionable Contenders?

Alex C · « **Reply #287 on:** 19 Oct 2008, 18:30 »

I'd prefer to just go Questionable Content in that case. I mean, shit, there's already a few guilds around with the name anyway. Also, I have a BE Paladin named Akhilesh in my stable o' chars now.

torontoguy2k8 · « **Reply #288 on:** 19 Oct 2008, 19:04 »

A QC guild eh? I may consider going. I don't really lurk around here very often, but I wouldn't mind Checking out different kinds of guilds.
I currently run my own, rather active guild, so I spend most of my time looking after things there. But I would be happy to lend my magical finger-wiggling talent to this guild. Just don't bug me for water

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #291 on:** 19 Oct 2008, 21:27 »

I have a bit of a problem with just going with Questionable Content as the guild name. I mean, first off, I love originality in names, and Questionable Content is the easy boring route. Remember tribal wars? And also its not as if this guild would be associated with the comic or Jeph Jaques at all, and I don't feel comfortable putting his brand name on something that he has no idea is being made (I assume). So here are a couple ideas spun by me and Whipstitch.

to get it out of the way, Furious Dickings*
Get In the Van
Salty Dogs
For the Love of Pirates
to take a leaf out of Mercenary Schlock**, Tagon's Toughs or alternatively something like that using alliteration off of the guild leaders' name. Speaking of Which who is the guild leader?

*obviously wouldn't make it past the word filter
**goddamn I just finished those eight years worth of archived awesome.

est · « **Reply #292 on:** 19 Oct 2008, 22:39 »

If we can get enough people to make a guild then it's obviously not going to be an official QC guild, just a QC forums-affiliated guild, hopefully with more of a slant toward the I LIKE FISH crowd than the General Discussion mob. We could always call it "I LIKE FISH", but I am not sure if people associate that with this forum or not.

re: the guild leader, it should probably be a US person with an intent on playing on the server as their primary server. Seems like a few people are making alts on Khaz Modan, but if there's anyone with intent to mainly play on the server they'd probably be better suited, as they can carry on the guild even if forum people come and go.

axerton · « **Reply #293 on:** 19 Oct 2008, 23:35 »

Why not "I like Hurr" or "I like ... hurr" or something of that nature.

Also if we want to get all the cool guild stuff - Tabard, bank and so on so forth apparently they are fifteen types of expensive, so maybe we all have gathering skills for the moment so that we can pool our money and afford it, I would suggest herbalism at this time, just because inscription has driven the price of all herbs, but especially low level ones through the roof.

est · « **Reply #296 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 02:46 »

"I LIKE HURR" is only the new name for "I LIKE FISH."

And Covetous, no. No direct QC references.

est · « **Reply #297 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 02:50 »

This, btw, is probably why most guild nmes are awful.

I would play in a guild named Banditos, btw.

0bsessions · « **Reply #298 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 06:03 »

How about "The Seventh Dick?"

Otherwise, I vote for Get In the Van.

I'm still trying to decide what I want to go with for this. On the one hand, I do so love Druid. On the other, I really should explore other options for the sake of variety. I'm thinking maybe an Orc/Troll Rogue (I get most of my Druid enjoyment out of my cat form anyway) or maybe just a slight variation and go Restoration or Balance Druid. I'm leaning Balance Druid just for the sake of self sufficiency when soloing. Just so long as I can avoid the douchier races like Blood Elves (I still wish I'd waited until actually dealing with Blood Elves before choosing Blood Elf over Troll for my hunter) and Undead.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #299 on:** 20 Oct 2008, 07:11 »

If you enjoy cat form you'll feel like you've been infused with the powers of Greyskull when you play rogue.
