official World of Warcraft

[Shuu]

yes.

[Gromvar]

I've heard from the beta forum that some folks are getting multiple beta codes sent to them. If anyone has an extra one they don't need I would love to have it please.

[Spookie]

If that is the case (beta keys) I would kindly throw a few dollars/quids towards the person kind enough to throw me a spare key. :)

[Inplode]

ZOMG i would so love a beta key ! lol

Had a 60 Rogue on Turalyon, (I ended up deleting it since I couldn't switch a PvE character to PvP) switched over to my brother's PvP server (Altar of Storms) and now currently have a 19 Gnome Warrior & 31 Night elf Rogue. PvP server compared to PvE is so much more fun IMO.

[Lexcyn]

Servers seem to be messed up at the moment. :(

[Inplode]

yea login server borked on them again !

I just re-subbed today lol... here goes many precious hours of my life :p

I would have taken a longer break and waited a month after BC came out if you already have a 60. Seems like alot of guilds aren't raiding so much since current gear will be obselout after 62 and 63. My guild continues to raid ZG, AQ20 just so we can get a DKP system set-up for 25 man raids, have something already to build on and such.

WoW is really getting boring in the long run. All you do beside raiding and farming potions is leveling alts / skills ...

PvP is getting so tedious, i want huge Epic battles! Remove DHK :(

[Argi]

A lot of that is bein addressed in the expansion. Pvp becomes ranked arena battles with rewards on par with raiding. Every unveiled zone in the outlands has an open pvp objective along with the large town and 4 towers in one of the zones. You can capture the towers, and then go on bombing runs of the center town. And DHKs have been removed.

The unthinkable happened to me today. I logged into the WoW forums and then tried to log into my game and BAM. It said unknown username or password. I thought, OK, I typed it in wrong. Tried it again. Three times. Four. Five. OMG.

That's right ladies and gents, someone, somehow managed to grab the password to my account and lock me out (as far as I know). I tried calling Blizzard to get this figured out, but they said I had the wrong phone number so they couldn't do anything. Looks like my 3 level 60's and hours of my life are gone for good. :no:

Now to return the pre-order for Burning Crusade ... :cry:

Yeah, no, seriously I quit. Never playing that game again. I actually did pre-order FFXII and I have a GF that wants to play it with me. :)

There has been quite a few stories of keyloggers being downloaded from various websites bundled in with various mods for WoW curse-gaming.com being one such site. There was a guild bank character on our server that got done and emptied off all it's gear. Sorry to hear it's happened to you though man :(

[Sethos]

That makes no sense at all, it's green and only ONE level above :unsure:

[Argi]

The item formula has changed, all BC items have heaps more stamina on them for the same ilvl.

[Spookie]

I've almost quit raiding after seeing the items coming out. It's almost a waste of time getting some leveling gear. You pick it up as soon as you enter the Outlands!

[Got3n]

i think that most of your gear you get from raiding is what is going to allow you acquire this new equipment.

Yeah man I don't even know what it was! I scanned my computer right after and found NO trace of any malicious program. I mean, I've been using the exact same addons forever and I wasn't even in the game when it was 'hacked'.

Last night someone on my server e-mailed me and asked me what I was doing online at 4:30am ... I e-mailed Blizzard to get them to cancel that account, but who knows if they will. (My credit card is still paying the monthly bill ......... ).

[Inplode]

by lvl 63-64 bwl/sq40 gear will be worthless lol blue has said that ive seen SS of greens that drop form the 5 man boss's that make me cry like a schoolgirl . but im going to be lvling my lock first and i cant wait .

for warlocks this was just released on the beta boards

FULLY CONFIRMED

For channeled and and spells with cast time, the formula is:

cast time/3.5*100%

For dots, the formula is:

duration/15*100%

No difference, you say? Well, there is a HUGE difference. The hard cap of 100% has been removed!

Keep in mind that there are 3 penalties: AoE spells have their coefficients cut by 66%, and spells with both damage and healing get a 50% penalty. Spells with a snare effect have a 5% penalty. Drain soul also gets a 50% penalty, too, for no reason whatsoever. (Well, almost. 20 dpm with 700 spell damage gear . . .)

Corruption: 120%

Curse of Agony: 160%

Siphon Life: 100%

Drain life: 71.5%

Drain soul: 215%

Curse of Doom: 400%

Soulfire: 171%

Hellfire: 141%

Rain of Fire: 76%

The big winner is clearly curse of doom. 800 spell damage will double its damage. 10k curse of dooms will be commonplace. 35 damage per mana. Good thing its not usable on players, eh?

The other big winner is hellfire. Before the change, to get the same benefit from spell damage as emberstorm, you would need 1080 spell damage. Now, you need 255. Huge buff.

Thank you, Shadowbolt, for your testing.

Currently untested:

Incinerate: does it scale as a 2.5 spell before the bonus immolate damage? Does the bonus damage scale too?

Immolate: has the amount of spell damage the dot and DD portions of the spell gain been changed?

Shadowfury: blastwave and CoC had their coefficients buffed. Will shadowfury get the same treatment?

Unstable affliction: 120%?

Seed of corruption: level cap is 67 :(

Dark pact scaling: I have seen no numbers.

I'm doubting this. Even though it would rock and maybe get us up with mage damage, they will probably change it before the game comes out. The beta test is all about balancing the changes they made.

Oh so you need t3 to run Hellfire then:laugh:h:
