official World of Warcraft

Welp, just bought the game. Pretty much decided on Human Paladin. Although the dwarve's ability to find treasure looks cool. Too bad their so tiny. Probably do mining/skinning as well.

Darkshore is great. Love it there. Nice pics mav.

Couple questions guys.

First im in Europe, so the open beta is starting soon and my preorder is on its way :)

Now im gonna be playing horde with my guilde for sure.

1. I heard Shamans, Mages and Warriors are the most common classes, is that true?

2. Which classes are good in groups (parties), or most looked for?

3. How are Rogues/Priests/Hunters in PvE/PvP?

4. What Horde race goes best with Priest (i think undead)?

5. What Horde race goes best with Hunter (i was told troll)?

These are the main questions but in summary, Id like to play a character that is not so common (hate being one between so many, reminds me of the mass shaman tactics in warcraft 3), i want to play a class that is useful to a group when hunting as well as has the chance of soloing. Id also want to be decent in PvP (preferably solo PvP but i must be also decent at group PvP).

Thanks a lot and i am awaiting your answers, fellow WoW gurus!

Since no one else hit this, I'll try

1) From what I have read, warriors, rogues, and hunters seem to be the most popular

2) This I don't know. A warrior is almost always needed, as it's the only pure tank in the game. A paladin can tank, but it relies pretty heavily on the auras

3) Don't know about Pvp, but for groups, they tend to be more of the support group. Rogues can doll out a ton of damage because of the spells it has

4 and 5) From what I have read, races really don't matter THAT much. You'll notice a difference in the beginning, but once you get going, they all tend to mesh together

In regards to which race, you have to consider your play style and weigh all the pros and cons. Some of the racial abilities are better than others. You'll also have to consider if you'll be doing much PvP because that will influence your build a lot as well.

My World of Warcraft gallery.

My character (below), his name is "mittense" (my alt is a lvl 28 mage named "mittens") on Frostwolf.

How did you add the extra bars on the left and the extra on the bottom? I haven't had much time to play in the past few days because of moving but I can't wait to get back into it. :)

[Chad]

I use Cosmo (cosmoui.org), which adds those bars, but his looks a little different

Was using a modified version of GypsiMod (http://clanimbrium.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3984) link goes to modified version, not the official.

I heard some rumors on the official forums that Blizzard might be bringing out a customized UI. I have no idea if there's any truth to that claim though.

[acidic-e-]

I wish they would it would be nice of them but I guess we have to wait and see.

BTW I guess no mods want to sticky this since they don't like WOW :(

[Ritalin]

just wondering, those cosmosui UI thingies are totally leagal and aren't cheats or hacks or anything right? (just wondering)

[acidic-e-]

They are legal fully. If they were not blizzard would not even of made a sub forum for the UI system. They made it so ANYONE could redo the UI to how they want it. Rather nice actually.

[Qarth]

I don't know what the deal is but lat night when I tried to play, I would click an ability and it would stick like I wanted to move it from my bar... I don't think it was my mouse. I moved my computer back to my desk since I had it across the room hooked directly into my router. I'm gonna get it back online wireless tonight to see if there was some problem I didn't know about. Anyone else have this problem?

I love that BLizzard banned all those A-Holes that were using bots. :) I wonder how many top-teir players were taken off?

I was under the impression that bots are mainly used for skill building, not leveling. Things like fishing were a problem for sure.

Am I the only one who it ****es off to know that thest people were using these bots? Maybe I'm selfish but that doesn't make for a very fun time for me. Diablo was lost from the kickoff on B-Net. This is actually working and I don't think it should be made a mockery of. I love to play PvP but I don't think that me vs a palyer that has been using a bot would make a fair match.

Interesting.. At least Blizzard seems to be on top of the situation. :)

[amoeba]

I'm from Asheron's Call and I've formed the opinion that non-combat macros are okay. I could be wrong in my opinion but I like saving myself the tedium if clicking that silly fishing bobber :)

[SumoHamster]

I also don't like it when people use bots. It seems equal to cheating to me.

As for fishing, I kind of like it. I click on the bobber and think "I hope this is good!" :D

[Ritalin]

What's the latest verson of comos? i can't seem to figure out which is the last stable one :s

[Chad]

I use the beta version, which works fine.

[Qarth]

Well I deleted my Tauren Shaman because I thought it would be better to have herbalism/Alchemy rather than leatherworking/skinning. The way I figure, any class can benefit from it greatly. But my Shaman would have had a huge benefit because of the Mana potions. I am making a Human mage now and plan on joining good ol' Mav Pheonix on The Shatterewd Hand server. If anyone wants to start with me lemme know.

[Schwa83]

Stupid question... Does WoW have weather effects? Snow, Rain, Thunder Lightning? And if so, are they varied or is it all the same? Like, are there variations of how heavy the rain is or how heavy the snow is or it it pretty much the same? Thanks!

[Qarth]

So far all ti has is night and day and transition in between. Still very impressive though.

[Schwa83]

Awww... such a shame. I'd love for it to get stormy , that'd be soooo cool.
