Ran H Nexus and averaged 2k DPS... Not quite sure what was different, but I'm not complaining :woot:

No drops yet, but I know it can take a while.

Group comp, and gear upgrades, even latency can affect DPS.

Is WoW- US down? Specifically Dath'Remar?

Looks so sexy. I'll upload a pic in a few.

Late and a double post. But meh. It's hawt.

Almost forgot how bad WoW looks :laugh: Oh how I wish Blizzard will focus on a much improved engine for their next, big MMO project.

Turn the settings up and use a decent machine, it still looks great, especially in Northrend.

I still think it looks like crap, even on my machine. It looked "okay" back in the days but now the huge slaps of low-res textures, wide open spaces consisting of one texture layer and huge polygon buildings is not pretty nor does it emphasize any sort of "special" style, it just looks dated. Main reason I quit World of Warcraft was actually due to the dated looks, it was like playing a Flash game online in the end, despite having every single setting maxed out.

I think it looks pretty damn good. There are quite a few places in Northrend that look absolutely amazing. And a lot of the new textures for the Wrath content are a lot nicer than the older stuff. It's not Crysis, but it looks good. To compare it to a Flash game is a major exaggeration.

And to stop playing a game because it looks dated to you is quite ridiculous.

[grimman]

Saying WoW doesn't look like that because of a certain style is ridiculous. That's EXACTLY why it looks the way it does, and it makes everything fit. It's no uncanny valley, so you're not cringing at every single frame the game puts out like you are with some games.

[Spookie]

I have to admit I'd take WoW's... Eccentric pallet of colours/tones over WAR & AoC which look rather bland in comparison. Both their worlds look lifeless in comparison. Though I guess that is also a problem with the zone design too.

[I am Redbeard]

Sethos is normally a pessimist, nothing new to see him take a jab at something.

Anyway, 400 pages!

:] gratz.

"Shadowfang Keep is ran by a white guy. The white guy has a bunch of slaves called Worgen. Worgens are black. Worgen backwards is Negrow. Worgens drop Snapvine Watermellon and Chicken Legs. Coincidence?"

BEST POST EVER !!!!!! :)

Ran a successful For the Horde! raid tonight. It was absolutely amazing. Just seeing all 40 of us crammed onto the boat to Darnassus or the tram between SW and IF was hilarious, but the battles were totally awesome too. We didn't even run into any real resistance until SW or IF, and even then we had only 1 death in SW and only a few in IF.

I ended up #6 overall in DPS, which was really cool to see. Averaged 2k.

That was by far one of the most fun things I've done in the entire game. I can't wait to get into raiding.

I love having my view distance turned all the way up, looking out and seeing weather, creatures, people and a living landscape hundreds of yards away. Swimming through icey waters and killin Orcas, taking the zipline down onto a small island where wolves are hunting the shoveltusks I need for a quest (Stupid Wolves!), WoW just feels so alive and I don't see it being successfuly replaced for quite a while.

The engine it self might be out dated, but the game is far from looking like a Flash game. Unless you're playing some pimped out Flash games I don't know about.

Sorry about the long post. :p

I'm a little peeved, and happy.

I went with a 40 man raid tonight (my first one ever! .. that's why I'm happy) to do the FOR THE ALLIANCE achievement. *Kill all the horde leaders.* The reward is an awesome Warbear mount.

We downed Carne Bloodhoof and whatshis****ingname in the BE city.. we downed Thrall AND Sylvanias TWICE and they both glitched and rezed and reset on us, ****ing off so many people in our raid that they just left the raid.

In the long run, I didn't get my Warbear mount. I opened a ticket. 30 minutes later.. GM's said they couldn't do anything... That's why I'm peeved. :(

However...

Can anyone spot the red haired gnome in the 40 man raid? :laugh: I know where I was in the middle of that fight and I can't even find myself.

There's also this screenshot:

Me, right before we took off to kill off the first Horde leader, ahead of everyone else, looking like I'm the raid leader.. :laugh:

[agent_9000]

Haha that's funny. I've killed all the alliance leaders about 4 times in the past week. My server is currently trying to destroy the alliance. We got over 80 people and attacked Stormwind, killing everything and everyone everywhere. We help out in the AH and bank for over an hour an a half.

If the leaders reset it means your MT fails at tanking lawl.

That's because we owned your leaders so hard that Blizz gave ours extra lives :whistle:

:p

[Shaun N.]

lol, I also did this on Saturday night and got my Bear <3 did ours about 3am

[+SOOPRcow MVC]

Heh, I did the For the Alliance @ lvl 70 when all the bosses were already lvl 80. Welcome to 3am two 40man raids :)

We did all the bosses twice and a few three times.

[Minifig]

My guild's hitting Naxx this very moment and I'm listening in trying to garner some idea of whats going some idea, and while they're regaining their health, someone created a fire so they could regain their health faster.. "Lets be cozy.." and someone says "Garrik -- Your a tree.. don't stand in the fire!!!!" :rofl:

[Slane]

So my third Maly kill and first in 10 man. Think I finally got the rotation down for DPS.

Nice. Malygos can be frustrating, especially if the other DPS in your raid aren't paying attention. Gotta kill those Power Sparks as fast as possible while trying to stack the debuff they give on death to beat the enrage timer.

The fight is fun though!

PS: Grats on the 6000th post in this thread. >_>
