I'll try my mage at PVP, but "everyone" says they suck.

Not that I care, I make my characters as I enjoy playing them :D

I want to go back to old instances and plow through them with a mage - Hunter was good, but they don't have great AOE.

It may be pretty :blink: , but I love the feeling you get powering through an instance that gave you grief as a low char all by yourself as a high char!

;)

Plus im in a decent guild this time so I should get to enjoy more end game content, never really had a good guild with my hunter.

Mages don't suck, they just die really fast if you play them incorrectly :p

WOW

What a fun night.

We attacked Darnassus first and wiped evryone and everything out :)

Then moved onto Exodar and did the same :)

Lastly IronForge

Some idiots ran past the bank and pulled about 70 guards along the way :( So we got wiped in the throne room :( We put up a good fight though :)

The first time I've ever done anything like that, and it was tremendous fun :)

Good times good times..

Funny this I was questing in WPL and someone asked me if I was a botter, as I have gotten over 23+ levels in the last 3days now. Sometimes its just not good to level fast :p .

Also I heard that 2.4 was coming out this Tuesday or the following week is that true, and can someone give a link for the heroic badge rewards that are coming out as well, I want to see all the goodies that are installed for us :)

Man 1% wipes suck.

So we had Spite/Bane left on timer, and we went in, with some new people, new pally tank to teach them the fights and get last piece of gear. (i need 3 drops left, and with 2.4 tommorow or next week, rest of upgrades come from badges). We do fine on Nightbane, I was tanking and got really unlucky with Shield Block CD and crushes. RNG just wasn't friendly. So we decided to go for spite. Now this is the first major coordination fight, that helps you (IMO) weed out people for 25 mans. Well I explained fight, and we start, first try down to 40% not bad, with 4 new peopel including tank. So we give him 2 more tries. 3rd he's at 1% where pally tank goes down right when enrage starts. I'm thinking it's only 1% we have everyone up we can burn him. I was in green beam keeping it off him, what I didn't plan to think of was, him running around aggroing, so as soon as tank went down. Bam he runs around, taking green beam off me. Instantly up to 8%. And we called it.

That sucked so bad. As I need the shoulders from him for one of my last upgrades. :(

enrage sucks on that bugger and the running around is exactly why ime. I like the fight as it kind of flips things around and, as you say, needs good co-ordination as everyone has a part to play. Shame about 1% wipe but at least you got to scare some of the inexperienced players :D how many tanks did you have out of interest? if you were tanking bane previousy but holding green beam? did you stick with the 1 pally tank for spite? i've only ever healed or DPS'd through both fights personally.

Patch 2.4 inc today for US, and tommorow for EU... Gief Hand of Ad'al title :)

[Spookie]

Patch 2.4 inc today for US, and tommorow for EU...

Yum, almost makes me want to keep playing my lock. 5k crits are fun but bloody hell it's dull outside of partys and raids. :(

[the evn show]

Every other officer in the guild: "OMG Sunwell, let's go!"

Me: "Why don't we spend a few days clearing BT/Hyjal to let people get their mods updated and the obvious bugs in Sunwell get found and squashed?"

Others: "OMG Fat loots! Motes! Rep! New Content!"

Me: "Um...we're not planning for world firsts, who cares if we're two days behind? In fact, raiding on patch day always sucks - lets just do 5-man stuff tonight and pick up an extra day later this week"

Others: "Fat loots! Rep! New Content"

Me: "We're barely done with the old stuff, most of the guild hasn't seen Illidan..."

Others: "New content! Rep! Fat loots! Must get finished before expansion OMG!"

I hate patch day.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad there's new stuff but trying to get a raid together on Tuesday is death.

[brentaal]

There's basically no point in playing the first few days after a patch... All the new locations will be overcrowded and everyone's gonna lag...

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

Me: "Um...we're not planning for world firsts, who cares if we're two days behind?

props to you , ticks me off that people are more concerned with gear/loot then actually experiencing what the game has to offer

unfortunately i have only seen up to SSC/TK ( couple boss's short of full clear )

*sigh*, we have yet to kill kael. Well the GM has scheduled Hyjal tonight, most likely which will get me BT attuned(too bad it doesnt matter anymore).

[the evn show]

Just pray for a fast wipes on wave 7 trash and Rage. The frustration with half-hour trash clears should put an end to it ;)

Look on the bright side: you get much better loot for much less effort. Unless you have absolutely no business in those instances you'll end up 4/5 and 4/9 in no-time (1-3 pulls of each boss should be all it takes). Plus the trash is somewhat more interesting that the crap leading to Kael, even if there is a metric crapload of it.

[Dotdot]

Am soo sick of Kael now, were at the 10% mark being our best. Last night was a complete balls up as we had 4 new guys and i had to tank some of the weps on p2 (as a retadin). Needless to say when the GM finally clicked that HOJ wasnt an interupt/kick I got moved from the staff to the mace.

Im not raiding tonite for our final kael try, im gonna grind instead get some much needed gold together for the next few weeks of trash wipes as we enter Hyj/BT. Tho Im gonna get some mates together tomoz and just rattle thru Magisters Terrace repeatedly to get the old rep up ;)

[Imnotrichey]

anyone know what the population ranges are for a server to be considered low, med, or high? Just wondering how few of people low population actually is.

[Golferjim]

2.4 IS HERE, time to enter the Sunwell :) good luck guys

[brentaal]

Illidari Council down, hm. Wonder if my guild can kill Illidan tonight :p

Only like... a few hours left till 2.4 here in Europe

[Osiris]

So does 2.4 mean I dont need to be keyed to run through Kara now?

[Slane]

Yup or enter Mount Hyjal or Black temple.

I dunno about ya'll but don't die, on the new island. 2% wipe on Kael (easiet boss ever) since they couldn't avoid the damn orbs. And world server is down. So you release you crash and can't log back onto that toon. :(

We had 2, me and an under-geared pally tank who did pretty damn good. He was doing fine, healers were keeping him up, I only ever need 1 or 2 heals when I tank, and that's only if I'm slow to get back into beam. If pallies only had last stand, we would have had him. :(

Cleaning out the screenshots directory waiting on the patch to install I came across this:

He got bugged out on some of the taurens up near the tower and spent 2 minutes mana burning us. By the time we got him on to a tank healers were almost toast.

We burned him as best we could but lost to attrition. At the end we had a tree druid (who hid in bear form while he was being stupid) and Thrall take him down to about 8k HP before it was over.

Low-HP wipes suck, but wiping with a mandatory 30 minute "clear trash for failure" penalty sucks extra hard.

I miss the AQ bug-tunnel style gauntlets. It was fast, fun, and most importantly: you could recover from a wipe.
