Well im playing wow for the last 6-7 months (I'm having a break now until Wotlk expansion) and my current characters/gear are:

Neptulon EU : Hyphen - Dwarf Warrior 70 (2 x t6 and rest gear equal to t6)

Xyphen - Dwarf Rogue 70 (3/5 s4 and rest s2/s3)

As i said i 'took' a break from the game since it started affecting my personal life as my studies in univercity. I will start playing it again a week before Wotlk expansion but as not much as i used to.

There is no quest to get a Deathknight. Level to 55 and you can just choose to make one at the character creation screen.

The Argent Dawn quests are part of the scourge invasion.

Oh right thats awesome that there is no quest chain for the DeathKnight but also rather bad, now all were going to see is every nub under the sun running around with a DeathKnight :( ...

Also what is this "Scourge Invasion"? Anything interesting that comes from this, sorry im a little slow with the story line at the moment as to what is really going on with everything :s

You realize this is the week before Lick King drops right? This week (tuesday/wednesday maintenacnce) is the last raiding days of BC (unless you do it tuesday/wednesday night after reset before xpac drops).

In recent news:

I QUIT WoW.

It feels good doesnt it? After playing for 3 years religously, I look back and see what it did to me and OMG. I would have rather raided than go out to a party or out with friends. It was bad. I quit about 2 months ago and i feel as if a weight was lifted off my shoulders. Some say its just a game, but you can lose yourself easilly in Azeroth.

If i can do it, you can do it too! :cool:

PS. THAT GAME IS THE DEVILS CHILD

Feral druid is pretty simple to play but here are some of my macros that may help ya out:

In all of these macros set the icon to the '?' icon

Mount Macro: (Stuff in bold will need to be changed to fit your char)

- This macro will load your mount if you are in an area where you can't fly and are out of combat. If you are out of combat and can fly this will cast flight form. If you are in combat that it will cast Travel form. If you are in combat and swimming it will cast aquatic form.

Feral Charge Macro:

- This Macro will switch you into bear form if you are in caster form and then on the next press cast feral charge - bear. If you are already in cat form then it would cast Feral Charge - Cat.

Mark of the Wild Mouseover Macro

- This macro will allow you to hover over player frames or player models and press your mark of the wild button and it will cast on them. Note: This is also very useful for heals, just change the name of the spell to the name of any one of your heals.

Thanks for all of the helpful macros. I'll be trying some of these out tonight!

So I finally decided I want roll a Death Knight once WOTLK hits and it will definitely be a Human.

I even started gathering a few items so I can hand in the EPL quests, I'd rather not go to HFP until 60. Now I am just having some difficulties selecting a build for leveling, haven't even found some decent templates yet.

Blood looks very tempting due to the self-healing, would really help towards minimal downtime but everyone is talking about Unholy which I don't really understand? So future Death Knight players, what are your talent build plans?

Unholy is OP by beta reports and will probally be nerfed within the first few months of mass play in LK for the DK class.

I've leveled to around 65 twice: once as unholy (when it was busted) and once as blood.

Unholy made you an AOE grinding machine, you simply chewed through dozens of mobs at a ridiculous pace. You had to bandage and eat regularly but if you could find -1/2 mobs it was pretty funny watching them drop. by soloing undead strat was amazing.

Second trip through I went as blood: single target damage was nuts and as long as you were careful to death grip and pestilence you could chain pull until your fingers go numb or your gear breaks. You can reasonably handle 2-3 mobs full time. I found casters more dangerous than melee (unholy seemed to fair equally well between both). I found I was able to deal with hard-hitting mobs much better.

That said, I haven't tried a death knight in months so things could be substantially different.

An interesting aspect of the Xpac and DK I hadnt considered will be the interchange bt alliance and horde given that DK is for both factions...I have always been curious about the alliance but due to guilds or hassle has never rolled a toon on that side...but starting at 55 makes things a bit easier...

This is why the RNG is bad:

-My guild GM has the offhand warglaive. He's killed Illidan 43 times and has yet to see the MH. Another guild on my server killed illidan 6 times and already have 2 sets.

-I had to kill Teron Gorefiend over 1 dozen times for the tanking gun to drop.

-I have yet to see a helm or shield drop from Illidan and at this point I wonder if they removed them from the loot table.

-Getting 3 conq, vang or prot tokens is bad, 1 of each should drop.

-In Sunwell the guild went 5 weeks without a single Protector token drop from the bosses.

1. That sucks. :(

2. Have two rogues with it, including all the warriors (dps included).

3. First kill, shield drop, second kill helm drop both went to the pally tank who tanks only trash and nothing else (go figure).

4. The past month all T6 kills have had at least 2 Rogue/Mage/Druid, with the pally tank dropping most. In the past month have had 6 warrior/hunter/shaman tokens drop, 3 last night on Brut. I was able to snag one leg, and two hunters got most of the rest.

5. We just started sunwell Sunday so uhh no comment.

Gotta hate RNG though it makes sense to use. But I do think one of each token should drop for all Tier bosses.

Last 2 minutes of the last raid of TBC

New UI is a work in progress: addons still haven't been patched up since 3.0.

I don't think we'll raid on the 11th (National Holiday in Canada), the 12th is sort

of a lost cause, and we'll all be waiting in line for TBC on the 13th. For a while

this game was a lot of fun, here's hoping expansion gets us back in the groove

very soon.

Woohoo! I just quit WoW! :D

(Y) same.. After playing wow non stop since the original Alpha tests, it was really hard to do. But I am so thankful I did.. I honestly thought I would go crazy without it, and I do find myself bored without it at times, but I don't want to go back, especially considering I made a ton off selling all my toons :)

Good to hear, good to hear.

I'm not willing to sell my characters simply because as corny as it is the friendships and memories made on the game over the past year and a half are worth more than I'd ever be offered. I'll keep em inactive for a bit and possibly reactivate them sometime in the distant future.

I was thinking of that too Pete, but you know. With them making leveling from 1-60 so easy now, and with each expansion everything is different and none of the old stuff will really matter. I decided if I want to ever go back, I will just reroll. I mean I have leveled 10 70's it's not that big of a deal. The hardest part for me was leaving the friendships... I mean I was the guild leader of the top horde guild on our server.... And my name has been around since original days.. Everyone knows me, and that's whats hard to leave.

Nice man. Tonight is a Hyjal main/alt run. Friday is a full clear of BT, with Saturday-Monday being SWP. I know we will get Kal/Brut down Saturday. I think Felmyst will take us Saturday/Sunday, I know we will have no trouble dps'in down M'uru in either phase nor have problems controlling adds in P1. So only hard fight I see left for us is Eredar twins. I doubt we will get past twins though, rest of the guild is staying optimistic.

    • You're absolutely right! No reason in hell these should be on the road!
    • They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • 24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though
