I know it's not a big deal since we'll soon be up to our necks in quality green replacements, but holy shit does having all my ArP gems swapped over to crit gems suck. I mean, I was geared enough so that was practically every gem, after all.

The patch is still downloading oh god why is this taking so long I have a mage to respec and agh.

In other news, T11 mage armour looks fucking kick ass.

It makes me glad I'm sitting on a small mountain of gold, too. Crit is pretty much my worst stat short of gemming Spirit, so it's not like I'll be keeping any of them.

So I wonder how many people bought the scribe dust off of the AH instead of from the vendor.

Dazed · « **Reply #2457 on:** 13 Oct 2010, 22:30 »

Yeah it's not worth it to me to regem at this point. I have 34k gold and could easily afford it, but why? I've killed all the raid bosses I'm going to kill, and I can dick around with other characters until cataclysm. Warrior damage is going to be garbage w/o collossus smash anyway.

Cire27 · « **Reply #2458 on:** 13 Oct 2010, 22:42 »

I don't see how you guys amass that amount of gold.

Alex C · « **Reply #2459 on:** 14 Oct 2010, 01:39 »

Raiding makes it easy. I shit primordial saronites.

The thing about replacing gems is that I still do stuff occasionally and crit is awe-inspiringly bad for me. Normally I wouldn't even consider gemming with the expansion so close, but napkin math hints that blue agility gems would be a straight upgrade for me over the epic crit gems. Christ.

One of my friends is having a lot of problems with her fury warrior. In other words, she basically said her warrior was a stranger now. She can't really figure out how to make it do the damage it used to.

Levelling alts for cata.

Currently the best to worst order goes like

Locks>mages>ele shamans>boomkins>spriests>god>hunters pets>hunters>DK's>rogues>paladins>goldshire NPC's>warriors

and yeah, losing every red socket bonus because the gem went yellow sucks. I vendored so much gear that now has haste because I don't raid at all and never as fury.

My mage friend who was done raiding alot like me now wants to down LK hc because with a raid of 17 wizards 2 tanks 5 healers and a hunter it looks like it would last about 3 minutes.

30k crits and 27kdps self buffed on a target dummy is retarded. Go look at some logs from good raiding guilds, smourne fury warriors doing 7-8k dps with mages and locks doing over three times that.

85 had better race around, 54 days to level some wizards...

This is true. They've balanced the dps specs around an ability we get at level 81, Colossus Smash.

For warrior tanks, they've completely redone the way we generate rage, which, you know, we kind of need for a lot of our threat generating abillities. I've been talking to a number of other warrior tanks, and it seems the best way to alleviate this is to turn into a hard ass, insisting on good dps behavior. While I totally get that insisting that others l2p for cata is normal, With the culture created by the LFD tool, that means I'll be VTK'd a LOT. Those casters up there, who now make god look like a newb? They don't like being throttled. Being told to 'watch your threat' and 'target my target please' and 'give me a few seconds to get aggro' makes them whiney, insulting bitches. Everyone should remember John Gabriel's Greater Internet F*ckwad Theory here. Usually, when someone's from the same server, we're nice, cause we'll have to see them again. With the LFD tool, we're never going to see that guy from another server again, so the theory applies, turning them all into 4chan trolls.

Being both DPS and healer (and since boomkins didn't have much threat reduction before the patch), I know well enough to do all of those things. Also that's why threat meters are good things! Really, if DPSers have a problem with not being douches, tell them to shut up and stop being douche bags. If that doesn't work, well, let them die! That's what I do when people don't listen to the tank. (Unless the tank sucks and is a jerk and then I let him die and laugh over his corpse. Yes, I like to troll sometimes.)

Hunters and mages in bg's are... fun.

Getting 1shot by rogues at the 40-49 bracket is not so much fun.

Good job they suck at 80!

My friend (arcane mage) was raiding icc25 today, they were wiping on farm bossed (HC deathwhisper) because the tanks (with INSANE health pools thanks to the new patch) were getting globalled, he is 6% off the hit cap from talents being removed and still he was doing 16-20k dps while a smourne fury warrior was doing 8-9k dps, no arp no deeps, I would drop them from the raid no matter how uber they are to be honest, but they burned marrowgar down in 1 bonestorm which I have only ever done on normal mode.

Tanks are the weak point in raids at the moment, the DK had 83k hp buffed and the palas had 75-77k but they were losing threat or getting gibbed, that is crazy as shit I mean deathwhisper HC is not the easiest fight but it's easy when you have farmed it for weeks on end.

Just makes me think their chances of survival on a hc 25 man soul reaper will be... low.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #2467 on:** 17 Oct 2010, 16:07 »

Decided to give my warrior a shot after watching a holy priest with 2k resil tank 4 melee and a warlock... re-gemmed wrathful gear with full resil and tanking meta.

44k hp and 1700 resil.

With the change to resil it's pretty retarded along with the self healing, beating wizards in duels and stuff, pretty much anything that is not a healer.

Is brilliant when rogues and fire mages try to duel you and they cannot inspect you, they think "wars gut nerf" but then they get steamrolled.

CHOO CHOO... will never get any alts done at this rate.

Oh, and for people without t1 you now get it welfare, anything you can get from the 2v2 bracket you can get without rating.

This game sucks so much without arena. Not even scrims.

So bored I spent 3 hours and like 20g farming gear to look like an Orgrimmar Grunt so I can cruise Durotar on a turtle picking fights with people.

It's like they took out scrims so we have no idea how s9 is gonna turn out skill wise even with a tiny health pool.

The guy from mmo-champions is predicting the 4.0.3a will be released next week. Yay, The Shattering

Lines · « **Reply #2471 on:** 17 Nov 2010, 06:03 »

Last night's patch was 4.0.1.13somthingblahblah#, so I don't think we'll be jumping to 4.0.3 just yet. I mean, Cata comes out in less than a month. I don't see why they'd want to rush that while all the world events are going on.

Dazed · « **Reply #2472 on:** 17 Nov 2010, 06:20 »

Last night's patch was 4.03 I'm pretty sure?

Lines · « **Reply #2473 on:** 17 Nov 2010, 08:37 »

Apparently it was. There's a bagillion numbers on the actual patch as it's loading, so I probably read the wrong one.

Cire27 · « **Reply #2474 on:** 17 Nov 2010, 13:47 »

4.0.3 is out. 4.0.3a is The Shattering.

edit: It will be like 4.0.3.13316 if you go by the PTR right now.

So apparently my account was hacked and banned for "abusing the economic system" whatever that means. Since I haven't played in a year or so and was considering coming back for cataclysm, I sent them an email about it yesterday and it was already resolved when I checked my email this morning and all of my stuff (I think) was recovered. Jesus feckin' christ that was fast. I'm getting an authenticator now because I would rather them not get access to anything else on my batttle.net account but I was pleasantly surprised by such a ridiculously fast response.

So yeah, I may be back on Elune sometime with my Alliance Priest before going back to Horde because Horde is so much more awesome.

Lines · « **Reply #2478 on:** 24 Nov 2010, 08:53 »

They responded pretty fast when my account was hacked. The only part that took FOREVER was waiting on the phone for someone to answer.

ackblom12 · « **Reply #2479 on:** 24 Nov 2010, 08:54 »

Yeah, I can't imagine their call center is ever not busy as fuck.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #2480 on:** 25 Nov 2010, 04:16 »

Anyone who plays without an authenticator will more than likely get hacked at at some time.

Authenticators are not horribly expensive and they do their job really well in reducing the chance you will have your account compromised by a huge margin.

Buy an authenticator.

So who is excited for Cataclysm?! I preordered, so I'll be able to play Tuesday night after my last exam and I am excited! I'll probably make my alts (worgen and goblin) and then explore the new zones with my druid. I think I'll end up going to Mt. Hyjal, because, you know, it's a shiny happy druid place.

clockworkjames · « **Reply #2485 on:** 04 Dec 2010, 13:45 »

Gonna try and get a guildie 80-82 asap in dungeons, since levelling on a pvp server is gonna be brutal then maybe drop group and bodyguard him as he quests.

After my warrior is 85 gonna work on pvp gear and maybe a goblin DK for lv70 bracket arena gonna be called richardnixon and bind death coil to yell I'M NOT A CROOK or something.

Already got a tauren pala called Rétbúll I am levelling so when I pop wings I can macro a yell that says... yeh.

Dazed · « **Reply #2486 on:** 04 Dec 2010, 14:03 »

I tried cleaning up my warrior's bags/bank today in preparation for leveling him, as he's going to be my first char to 85/my raiding toon. So, after completely removing any kind of consumable/mining/blacksmithing/enchanting mats from my warrior, leaving only gear and old-world nostalgia relics (T0.5 quest line stuff, Agent of Nozdormu badge etc etc.) I still have 146 items in my bank.

I have collected a vast and unreasonably large amount of shit over the years.

Lines · « **Reply #2487 on:** 04 Dec 2010, 14:37 »

Yeah, reorganizing my bank was easy, but took a while. It was nowhere near as bad as reorganizing the guild bank. We have 4 tabs, so now 1 tab is dedicated to each part (vanilla, BC, WotLK, and Cat) and tab 1 is pretty much full of things people will use on their new alts while the other three tabs are either empty or almost empty, since we sold all of the things that could sell and then trashed most everything else no one uses.

It took me about 2 hours to do all that. So. Much. CRAP.

Also, now that we've recruited meat life friends to the guild, it's time to start recruiting others. Oh dear.

Dazed · « **Reply #2488 on:** 04 Dec 2010, 14:49 »

So much stuff... And I've vendored/destroyed basically all of my BC arena/tier sets.

I don't think so, but if you happen to have an alliance character on Elune, you can join my guild!

That goes for anyone, really, we're actively trying to recruit people now so that we can do Cata raids and whatnot and start trying for guild achievements.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #2492 on:** 06 Dec 2010, 10:16 »

My store didn't even do a midnight release for it, I had several unhappy nerds who came in today, a couple even cancelled their pre-orders to just go ahead and get it through digital download. Of course for every one I lost I got another person who went ahead and pre-ordered The Old Republic, several were the same people.

Somehow I'm not really excited about it. The only reason I even subscribe to this game anymore is to play my twinks. With the promise of merged battlegroups, I came back. All the expansion means is that I gotta play the chase-the-carrot game some more for BoAs that will possibly be the new BiS on the lowby toons. :\
