Yeah, one of the fringe benefits of being in a current content guild is that frankly, I don't even know what my GS is exactly.

Lines · « **Reply #2401 on:** 12 Aug 2010, 06:06 »

I feel happy with my current guild. Yes it's new and very small, but everyone is someone I know and we're not die hard about the game. A few have done the hardcore raiding thing, but right now everyone is relaxed and happy doing their own thing. A few of us have 80s or are very close to being 80, so when that happens we're going to start doing a lot of heroics together so that we can start doing 10 mans. Right now I absolutely refuse to judge players by achievements, because some people (like me) just didn't happen to be around when everyone was doing the lower level raids and therefore got stuck. Achievements tell you nothing except that player happened to be there when a boss died, not how well they actually play their character and what their disposition is like. (Not that I really care about progression, but I want to be able to experience a lot of these places at least once and I'm not going to do it with elitists or people that are just asshats to everyone.) So at some point we'll all get there and I'll probably start recruiting people, but we're a very relaxed guild and I want to keep it that way.

But a fun thing that some of us are going to do are 70+ raids of MC before Cataclysm comes out. I think it'll be fun! I've done several of the classic 60 dungeons by myself, so we'll see how MC goes with a handful of 70-80 players.

Rather put up with guild drama than PUG's and ninja lootaz.

And lv 60 raids get boring as shit, yeah I can solo most bosses with a bloodthirst/prot spec but all the mechanics make it impossible to do without some assistance on switches and doors or whatever the shit.

I am twinking a priest! I AM THE KING OF THE HELLFIRE PENINSULA FLAGS!

Priests are dumb, I beat a level 67 hunter and 59 DK at the same time and 1v2'd prot warrior(65) hunter(62) like 5 times one night. Or 3v1'ing a bunch of 59-62 DK's. Also shadowpriests, wtf they are so pathetic.

http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Hellscream&cn=Mel%C3%ADssa

I got the 81SP enchant on the hellfire citadel 2h staff but used the heirloom shoulders and staff because of the hit and resilience because I was killing higher lv's at the time and they are hard to hit.

You know you are doing something rite when someone logs their 80 shaman.

I don't think it'll be boring, but if it is, that means we just get to goof off more. I think it'll happen a few times and then maybe we'll move on to something else. A few people are new to WoW but have leveled quickly and a few are veterans but didn't get to do much classic end content, so it's something to do together and have fun before things get completely revamped.

Question for those who maintain, have maintained, or frequently use their guild bank:

How are your tabs organized? I am not really sure how I should organize them in a way that makes sense according to rank, since everyone in my guild right now are friends and are therefore trustworthy. Any tips or just a list of what's in your guild's tabs would be helpful.

Dazed · « **Reply #2405 on:** 13 Aug 2010, 20:42 »

We have consumables (flasks/foods/pots) in one tab, tradeskill items (enchanting mats, ores/bars etc) in another, old world nonsense (elementium, ingots, bijous/scarabs/idols) in another. That's really all we need, most of us (not me) have bank alts with their own guild banks and such.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #2406 on:** 14 Aug 2010, 07:16 »

Bankalts ftw. Oh and as for vanilla content, it is awesome but do it as close to 60 as possible, it's still fun but take a 70 tank and a 70 healer just in case, I found a lv60-70 guild so I am stoked.

Lines · « **Reply #2407 on:** 14 Aug 2010, 08:46 »

I have a bank alt, but I forget to use it half the time and usually only use it when I'm selling stuff to make room in the guild bank. I was on last night clearing stuff out and decided we really needed a 4th tab, because we really need the room. There's a LOT of crafted items (gems, glyphs, enchants, pots) and a LOT of mats (cloth, herbs, dusts/shards, metals, uncut gems, etc), and several recipes, but that seems to be it right now because of lack of space. And though I currently trust everyone in my guild right now, I want to recruit and I don't trust new people, so I'm torn as to what to put in a tab that everyone could use. I guess a few consumables and low level things that are completely miscellaneous?

Alex C · « **Reply #2408 on:** 14 Aug 2010, 09:05 »

One thing that I like in my guild is that we keep a bunch of Northrend uncommon quality gems in the public tab so people can grab a spare gem now and again when doing the JC dailies rather than have to make a trip to the AH just 'cuz they're short a single dark jade. We treat it as sort of a take a penny, leave a penny tray. Hardly a big deal, but it's convenient, particularly since on my server people really like to price gouge on single gems.

That sounds like a good idea.

I just trinked a bash to pummel a nourish and kill the druid in 2v2.

Kinda feel like God.

ITT bad's playing like good arena players for 5 GCD's.

Lines · « **Reply #2411 on:** 15 Aug 2010, 19:45 »

So MC is pretty fun and not too bad with 4 80s and 2 65s. We're going to go again later this week I think.

beat mouse · « **Reply #2412 on:** 16 Aug 2010, 01:04 »

There was a time when there was a group of us that did BWL/MC for old tier loot that was my pally tank, a kitty druid, and a rogue, which was a lot of fun. It's hard to learn old fights at this stage in the game because of how different the game was then, and I had forgotten just how rough some of those nights fighting Chromaggus really were.

Jimor · « **Reply #2413 on:** 18 Aug 2010, 20:18 »

My server was one of the ones down yesterday for 24-hour maintenance, so I thought I'd roll a Horde character on another server for the heck of it.

When I hit the start area (which was infested with new players, the spawns could barely keep up with demand), I got an invite to a guild called "My Server Is Down" that a guy started. There were so many people doing the same thing as me, by the time the day was over, this brand new guild had over 360 members. Of course, most will be gone today and never come back, but it was cool, and there is at least a core of us who are going to try to make a go of it.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #2414 on:** 20 Aug 2010, 11:51 »

Ptch, in my day all we had was lv 1 hogger raids with noems when our server went down.

Hogger killed entirely by heroic strike, sinister strike and fireball.

Most people never made it past the wolves.

So with a mix of 65s and 80s, we did rather well. So while we wait for the others to catch up to start end game stuff, we'll be doing weekly/bi-weekly classic raids just for the hell of it.

Does anyone run a guild website? Or are they even necessary?

Alex C · « **Reply #2420 on:** 25 Aug 2010, 14:21 »

They're usually just glorified forums, but there's nothing wrong with that if you can get people on board and involved. It's nice to have place to put up links to specific boss strats that you want to follow, but they're not terribly necessary.

Hey, we got a few new healers and no legendary hammer in the raid this week!

You know what that means?

I finally got into an alright guild and downed her for the first time. Woo, go me.

Might end up needing a new guild. I'm geared enough where it shouldn't be -too- hard, but I just don't really want to make the effort to find one.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #2427 on:** 27 Aug 2010, 01:53 »

I joined a t2 pvp guild.

I'm done fucking dragons, I don't want to put effort into LK HC attempts so there is nothing else raid wise I can hope to achieve this expansion.

Lines · « **Reply #2428 on:** 02 Sep 2010, 12:08 »

I have to say the nice thing about having nothing to do but do randoms during the day has paid off. Got this and this today as well as getting exalted with Wyrmrest Accord to get the red drake. I'm just happy to be over 4000gs now...

clockworkjames · « **Reply #2429 on:** 03 Sep 2010, 10:01 »

Sucks when people without putri or sindra or blood queen rag on you because you don't have lots of ilv 277 gear. Yeh, I saw it drop, and I saw it go to the guy who constantly had loot prio because of the guild rank.

Scrubs with smourne bragging about it, you can get it without even a ks normal achie. It should req a hc LK25 kill tbh and if you ain't downed all end quarter bosses you ain't shit so don't rag on me for not being a loot whore.

/rant @ hc icc pugs.

Got a phishing scam in my druid's mailbox today for a cataclysm beta test. Beware!

Also I finally got an epic weapon drop (from Oculus). Nothing extraordinary, but I bought a mace from Wyrmrest Accord yesterday to replace the mace I'd been carrying around for who knows how long. Yes, I know the rep weapons are bad, but it was an improvement, that's how bad that mace was. But hooray for a weapon I can actually use dropping! I needed that pretty bad. I only have to replace my cape and one trinket and then I'm finally away from superior items. Then I can work on getting t9 stuff and hopefully I can start raiding casually with my guild.

I did the Cata lead up quest for Alliance last night! It's kind of fun! You get a gnome suit.

Lines · « **Reply #2432 on:** 08 Sep 2010, 21:05 »

I started to do the quests but there was a bug with the speeches, so I had to stop. Also everyone was standing on the quest givers, which was very annoying. But it's cool! A fleet of gnomes follows you from Ironforge!

clockworkjames · « **Reply #2433 on:** 09 Sep 2010, 02:12 »

Trolls for us, worse pre-expansion event so far, all you get is a lousy cloak which vendors for a gold.

jmrz · « **Reply #2434 on:** 10 Sep 2010, 05:38 »

And a GNOME SUIT! I am pretty amused by the gnome suit. Even though the event was short, I still found it entertaining enough.

Lines · « **Reply #2435 on:** 10 Sep 2010, 06:37 »

The gnome suit was definitely worth it! I did everything but the battle on my DK with a friend (we're both around lvl 60) and then I went off and tanked in that suit. It was cracking me up. I wish that it didn't have a 4 hour cooldown though.

axerton · « **Reply #2436 on:** 11 Sep 2010, 05:33 »

I would assume this isn't going to be the last pre expansion event, given the zombie plauge last time only happened in the time between 3.02 being put out and the actually launch of wrath (I'm pretty sure anyway, I seem to remember varian fighting a frost wyrm in stormwind habour) I would assume another event is to come, probably something like *cataclysm hits, everythings burning people are dying do your bit to help out* which if they do it right could be pretty sweet.

jmrz · « **Reply #2437 on:** 12 Sep 2010, 16:52 »

I got my Heroic Nightmare Ender! Huzzah! The DFO dropped as well, but I didn't have the gold to buy that. The wand cost me 10k and we got 10k from the GKP pot, so free wand!

I am back to GKP raiding now and we're doing 11/12 in a four hour stint. About half on heroic. It's pretty fun and it gets all my raiding over and done with in one day. AND I make money from it.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #2438 on:** 14 Sep 2010, 11:18 »

gdkp on my realm has 45 signups, I am one of them so regularly I end up not being picked and just pugging up to hc lootship for bracers/shoulders/1h axe and then asking to leave.

Has anyone been having problems with playing a character, WoW shutting down, and then not being able to log onto that particular character without being immediately kicked off again? This has been happening the past few days, first on my druid and now on my horde alt. I've probably send Blizzard at least 10 error messages in the past two days. I deleted my addons and the files they always suggest deleting and still it's happening. I've also scanned for spyware and whatnot and nothing has popped up. I'm not sure if this is because of the patches or what, because it's certainly not my internet connection or diskspace on my computer. (And it's definitely fast enough, because it's less than a year old.)

clockworkjames · « **Reply #2440 on:** 20 Sep 2010, 06:08 »

The only DC's I have had have been 1 in 25 man blood princes where fps lag got insane and I got DC'd and like 3 times in 2v2 once on Nagrand arena and then on Dalaran sewers.

Both were recent, what were you doing when you got DC'd?

Lines · « **Reply #2441 on:** 20 Sep 2010, 08:47 »

The first time, I entered a random (from somewhere in Icecrown) w/ my druid and was immediately booted. I tried logging back in on the same char, which failed every time. I tried my shaman and it worked fine. I deleted the Interface, WTF, and all AddOns and I could log back in my druid. My bank was booted a few times and she hangs out in IF. Now I can't log onto one of my alts at all, and she got booted when flying out of Orgrimmar. (Deleting folders didn't help w/ that at all.) So...yeah. I posted a thread on the mac support forums, but haven't heard anything.

Alex C · « **Reply #2442 on:** 22 Sep 2010, 21:19 »

It's kinda funny/sad, but I did halls of reflection for the first time today. I just never really needed gear from there before so I hadn't bothered with it. But a friend asked for help so I finally did it. It's sorta too bad I've never tried it at proper gear levels though. I slouch my way to around 8-9k dps overall in 5s and I have more health than a lot of pugger tanks did at the time Halls was released, so obviously I'm not really in any position to say anything about its difficulty level given that I'm in 277.

amandathehunter · « **Reply #2443 on:** 04 Oct 2010, 10:16 »

So Cataclysm was officially announced to have a Dec. 7 Release Date today.

Informed rumor states that the patch is either this tuesday (as in, tomorrow) or next tuesday.

What will you be doing with your two months?

Lines · « **Reply #2444 on:** 04 Oct 2010, 12:01 »

Doing what I have been doing - trying to do all the things that I want to do before things disappear forever.

My guild tried our first real raid last week. One of the guys was convinced we could do ToC10 with only 3 people with experience and 2 pug'd healers. Didn't go too well. (We found a tree who didn't use wild growth at all and barely touched his HoTs. WTF.) So next time we're doing something easier and I am going to be the primary healer. If one of our other guys can come, hopefully we'll have both healers filled and we'll only have to pug one or two dps spots.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #2445 on:** 05 Oct 2010, 04:50 »

Patch cannot be this Tuesday, 2 weeks notice for arena at the end of last month means it finishes on the 12th, then 1 week to sort titles/mounts so the patch will be next Tuesday or Tuesday after.

If patch 4.0.1 went live BM hunter pets alone would claim r1 glad on every BG.

amandathehunter · « **Reply #2446 on:** 06 Oct 2010, 10:46 »

If any of you guys want to get some raiding in, and happen to be on the Shadow Council server, look me up.

My main is Etoïle, GM of Chosen of the Morrigan. We're an ICC raiding guild with 2 10m groups and we're opening up a third on fridays and saturdays. I'd like to have some more QC fans around.

I only mention it because I totally get that people want to get some content done before Cata, and if you need help, well, we've got the means.

After tinkering around with everything to respec and whatnot last night, I don't know if I like resto as much as I used to. Granted, I haven't healed yet, but I'm not sure how I feel about tree form being a cooldown now. That just seems weird, as none of the other forms are. (Hooray, ONE spec can now show off their armor all the time!) I'm going to run some randoms tonight and see how I feel about both resto and balance. Balance I am mildly excited about because of the mushrooms.
