just like you should be doing with your shaman later as well.

Well Shamans are flexable, they can also tank rather well (with a good choice of items) for small groups. Their damage is also rather good if you spec in elemental (try getting hit by frost shock- the crit is huge).

my main char is a tauren shaman, he is currently at lvl 42. Im really enjoying the ride :)

I always felt myself attracted for the priest class to, i think i will a start a new priest just for the fun of it, maybe in alliance ("to know better the enemy place ehhe")

I have been playing in the test servers and been playing in the battlegrounds. Its fun to play, but i think that everything is still a bit confusing, lots of people just killing one another, there are missions in the map, that i dont know yet, and many people i think. Have to read more about the battlegrounds, and hope that when get's out we are all more informed of it. I create a lvl 60 shaman in the test server, and then tried also the priest. Uhm thought call to decide i will start a new char now just to be more prepared eheh

What's your opinion about the battleground if you have tried it?

[Fear-51]

Can someone copy and paste the patch notes in here..I dont know about others at work but here they block practically every site I can find on it... :pinch:

[Schwa83]

WoW's website appears to be down as well

[forster]

Really considering jacking in FFXI and coming back to WoW. Was definately a good game (Y)

[Ecander]

1.5 patch is available on Fileplanet. I'm uploading it to my server for us Neowin WoW junkies.

*Edit* Thanks to my 75kb a sec upload It will be up in 10 more minutes.

[Ecander]

The patch is in this thread here:

https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=329380

enjoy

[DrCheese]

Bare in mind that this patch is still US only until Europes maintance which is wednesday morning from 3am(uk time) til 10am.

European users would be wise NOT to download the patch thats currently avilable(Its different from the EU one)

[Shadrack]

Hard to say that error you are getting but I had a similar problem with WOW also when I first got the game, I had to go into the CMOS and turn off HT technology(if you have a Intel P4), and also turn off any memory speed increase modes which fixed my problem and no problems since!, hope this helps!!!

P.S. A definate great game, have a 60 Warrior right now and really getting into the more difficult instances, trying to get my Valor Set Armor right now, so far I got my Gauntles/Bracers Set's right now and been trying to get my Breastplate, I tried 2(of the same) instances a few days ago for my Breastplate but only dropped once and lost my roll on it<Sigh>, Tried also my Leggings last night but the server crashed and booted everyone out(D'oh!!!), so hopefully try again here soon!, Best of luck..

[twist]

game sure lost the fun factor after killing rag and spending hours waiting in queues daily for bgs.

canceled today after not loggin in for weeks.

shame too, just got my gutgore ripper :/

[Cody]

yeah i quit about 2 months ago, let my guildies play on my 60 lock till the account ran out. if they fix some stuff about that class and my guild still plays ill go back maybe

[vferreira]

I like to say that i have been playing this game for 2 months now, and im still more addicted than ever. I dont have a lvl 60 yet, but having a great time wandering around, and creating more than one char.

I dont understand how u guys have time to lvl your char to 60 so quickly, farming for a epic mount and have already some epic armors that take so much time. I dont think i have those for another 2 months of gameplay. I dont consider myself a hardcore gamer, but i still play a lot, 4 hours a day for me is a lot :)

Im just loving this game :)

[Kreuger]

Sometime soon, I'm hoping to give this game a try. My cousin is probably gonna let me use his account to see if I like it.

[Marduk]

Tried it, its a helluva grind thats for damn sure, I guess if you enjoy grinding with other guys then this is your game. I prefer GuildWars over this anyday though.

lol a grind... Should blizzard aploligize for making you work to gain levels? or maybe they should just giveeeee you nice gear or how about making all the "harder" instances only 30 min long.... Guild wars IS your game... Still funny though how people compare the two... Guild wars is no MMO and never will be.

Guild Wars is an MMO, it just isn't an MMORPG. And you can easily compare the two. Just like I can compare EQ2 to GW or WoW. Its all personal opinion and as long as you enjoy the game that's all that counts really.

I stopped enjoying WoW a long time ago, to me it WAS a grind. There's one thing having to go into an instance to ovbiously do a series of quests and get awesome new armor. Its another entirely to have to do an instance for hours just to get one item, and then if someone in your party is a noobtard, you all die and fail and have to do it again. Sure that's the persons fault and all, but its still annoying and detracts from the whole.

Don't get me wrong though, WoW has alot of good points, certainly they outweight the bad points. But in the end for me the bad points just piled and piled onto each other and nearly squished me to death.

Your poor guildies :pp I spent hundreds of gold trying many, many warlock builds after I hit 60, only to find that the fundamental problem with warlocks is that they are the all-around craptastic class, although they have some of the coolest-sounding (but weak) abilities.

You have made a lot of sense here. Most people that quit Warcraft (myself included) feel the same way. It's like a great mystery movie...the ride is fantastic, but once you've seen the outcome, why watch it again?

[LOC Veteran]

Exactly. If, and I say again IF Blizzard had ANY end game content in the game, WoW would be much better off. And don't tell me there's a ton of stuff to do after you hit 60. I don't count doing quests for better armor and epic items end game content. Nor do I count staying in The Molten Core for 3 hours trying to find that ultimate weapon end game content.

I could probably live with the honor system the way it is. I could probably live with the server issues and lag. I could even live with the complete idiots and noobtards that play the game, IF there was end game content. 6 or 8 months after the game is released is not the time you add additional content, let alone end game content.

People can complain all they want about other MMORPG's but Everquest II is a perfect example. You may not like the combat system, or the gameplay or the music or whatever it is. But you cannot argue that Sony doesn't put in content. They have put in more content in a single patch than Blizzard has put in TOTAL for WoW, that says it right there for me. Sadly :(
