Woke up today to a plethora of information abotu Cataclysm and OMG can't wait! alot of the zone changes are awesome, All i can say is im playing golf in Azshara!

:laugh: I think that's my new favorite location.

[Art3x]

The screens look amazing, I'm really getting excited about Cata now.

[Elliott]

Woah, I hope they're updating all the racial mount models to be as detailed as this:

[Dark Ride]

Oops, someone broke the NDA :D Hehe

Finally Orgrimmar is looking real good!

[Prosidius]

Isnt admitting you're in the Cataclysm Alpha violating the NDA?

Yep.

[Olemus]

Yep.

Don't think Blizzard are too concerned now it's leaked. I've seen posts on the official forums all day about changes only seen in F&F and GM's have ignored it.

They arent in the Alpha, its a sandbox from the leaked version of the alpha

Speaking about the person linking a screenshot of the catacylsm beta added to there account.

Honestly i hope they do the beta like they are for starcraft and after a while just allow anyone that preorders it to get in, that would be cool.

I've been looking for a good addon that identifies when procs go off visually. I found Power Auras Classic but it has not been updated since December and doesn't seem to function properly. Does anyone have a good suggestion for something similar? Specifically I used a DK and I want to receive a big huge notification when Killing Machine procs.

TellMeWhen or SexyCooldown.

That help?

I use Power Auras and it works perfectly on 5 different characters.

You might not be setting it up properly.

Trying to cram a working UI onto my notebook's screen I tried to cut back the addons I used. Right now I'm just using Satrina Buff Frames

with some custom filters to get the effect of classtimers/powerauras/etc. without needing to configure yet another addon. I'm already using

SBF for buffs and debuffs.

I've been just moving SBF with a couple of bars that show when procs I care about are up (or down in the case of things like horn of winter).

Here's a quick demo on my mage that shows missle barrage/quad core/arcane power/icey veins under the cast bar.

Debuffs I'm concerned with go on the opposite side (scorch/living bomb/slow, or diseases for a DK).

I have a third frame that you don't see which shows things I can spell steal from NPCs or debuffs I can remove on friendly players when they're

my target. Going this route allowed me to get all of the cooldown alerts out of my scrolling combat notifications. Now my notifications area can

scroll more slowly and be larger because it's not cluttered with "OMG You got Buffs" -- it's easier to see things like which color ooze I have to

kill or who I have to bite when I'm a vampire.

Example: http://gallery.me.com/colinstein#100345

You'll notice some weird stuff like an iceblock and wotf for no reason: I just wanted to make sure all the timers for those things were displayed

correctly. I'm still setting up the row of little cooldowns so abilities were sort of stuffed in there just to fill it up.

That my friend, is a nice, neat UI.

It's probably not necessary. The only reason to invite that many people for testing is when you're stress testing servers. Since StarCraft 2 has brand-new infrastructure, they'd be wanting to test to make sure it'll hold up okay for launch. WoW's architecture on the other hand is already quite mature so the only reason for F&F Alphas and Beta is to get feedback on the content and changes that they've made from people who've never seen any of it yet.

And yes, the NDA is still in effect, does cover saying if you're in it, and no doubt Blizzard does care about people blatantly flaunting it.

Just about all the stuff I've seen posted around (read: mmo-champ) have been taken using a small sandbox server; I don't think I've seen more than a couple of pics from the actual servers (not that I've been looking for them, anyway).

[Nicholas-c Veteran]

Looking to do a re-roll here shortly (RaF) and for Cata future, anyone got some good servers? Alliance/Horde doesn't matter as none of us has a preference, just wanna go somewhere to level up toons and do some casual, but focused, raiding.

Undermine Alliance wins Wintergrasp 75% of the time..

[Argi]

World PVP zones will work differently in Cataclysm so the excessive imbalances in Wintergrasp now should be less of an issue.

So i'm debating whether to make my DK alliance or horde. I've been horde since i started playing, and i am not sure if i could stand leveling another character on the horde side so soon after hitting 80 with my warr, but at the same time if i go alliance i'm not sure if i'll even have a guild, and i won't have any money, heirlooms, or the like to help me out. There's a abundance of DKs in the game and i imagine that all the alliance guilds that needed a DK have a DK, at least if i go horde i can get into the same guild as my main and be sure to raid if i get geared.

[Lord Nite]

Actually, you can mail your heirloom gear from horde to alliance and vice versa as long as they are on the same account. Heirloom gear is considered "Bind to Account" so you can send it to any toon, on any faction. As for the money, that takes a bit of finesse to accomplish. You basically have your alliance toon set up an auction on a neutral AH, then have a friend buy it from their horde toon (you can't buy your own auctions) and the money goes to your alliance toon, minus the AH costs.

As for choosing Horde or Alliance, it's a personal preference. I had all my toons Horde and just had my DK Alliance. I would rarely play my DK after hitting 80, so I just removed it and haven't made another since.

Last I heard I thought they stop'd you from doing that?
