official World of Warcraft

Got in and played right after the servers opened. Tried out a bunch of the changes and so far I am getting used to them.

One thing that I noticed is the daily heroics from the dungeon finder no longer award anything other than gold.

From the official 4.0.1 Known Issues:

Dungeon Finder doesn't mention the Justice Point reward in Random Lich King Dungeon or Random Lich King Heroic.

I read that as you do receive a reward, but the dungeon finder doesn't (yet) tell you about it.

Paladins are alot more fun but my dps took a hit from this patch.

I am now the proud owner of:

An alliance Towel.

I have needed a great towel, as the last one I had got destroyed or lost..

Was slightly expensive,.. but.. oh so worth it.

[ylcard]

Kind of a dishonor to the banner, don't you think ? It's like having your country's flag used as a towel :p

I was finally able to log in and found that my HP was increased to 44k from 39k :)

Woot :)

I hate how I can forget about WoW, but, as soon as there is another expansion out I have to play again.

[Solth]

For me to fully download and install the patch, I had to completely uninstall my Comodo firewall software, when trying to actually update it was giving me an error "Updater Connection Timeout", I even tried to update WOW in SafeMode + Networking but I had the same results. So I uninstalled my Firewall and it finally started to install. I "briefly" checked it out this morning but did not see much that was different with the Graphics which I heard they were going to make some changes? I noticed the new tree and I have to still play with that though which probably won't be till this Weekend (Damn School and Work!, lol) so hopefully I will be able to play with it more here soon.

I can't even get past the connecting loading prompt after selecting a realm. This is just great.

My trial is just wasting away, and so far two days down, not a single minute played.

Anyone got a working buff addon? I know Cata API screwed up Buffalo and I don't like Elk, so anyone got one? Probably too early, but meh.

I personally use Elk, but looking at Buffalo on Curse, it doesn't seem like it's going to be updated. It's been over a year since the last update.

Still can't connect. :/

Still can't connect. :/

Try "ipconfig /flushdns" from a CMD prompt.

[BoneyardBrew Member]

Try "ipconfig /flushdns" from a CMD prompt.

No luck. :(

Already tried reinstalling the game too.

Buffalo worked fine with everything, then the guy did Buffalo3, which just sucked. It's the API changed buffs up, so even Elk should be having problems. Wondering if anyone else found a replacement for buffs/debuffs.

I just like my UI a certain way. Any other way I can't stand playing, just need to fix teh Buffs and figure out why I can't get 'Show enemy nameplates' working either.

As far as showing enemy nameplates, does just pressing 'V' not work?

[Slane]

No. Not working for me. Disabled all addon's still not working. Few people in trade also mentioned problem.

And now it's working. I hate new patches.

Enemy Nameplates missing

Sorry for the late response. We are aware of this and looking into a fix. This can't be hotfixed, so a client side fix would have to be used for this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Seems there is an issue. I got plates to show up with Tidyplates.

Right, and Horde and Alliance are figment of our imagination.

First impressions (which are unfair due to addons not working and when I enable them, I get major lag):

Hunter: omfg what's my rotation?!

Druid (tank): OMFG swipe has a 6 sec CD?! What do I do?! What's my rotation!?

I second the hunter OMFG whats my rotation. Working with BM(since dual spec is so cheap) to grab sprit beast. have Gondroia so far.

[Raa]

After looking at the Warrior changes... I'm really cut!

So feeling glad i'm levelling my alt Rogue - at this rate, it could become my main after 6 years! :|

[KiHu]

After moving from rogue after 5 years over to a DK...Ive now after this patch changed my main to my 80 cat pew pew drood.

Loving it.

LOOOOVING ITTTTTT

Tried just deleting your Cache folder? Sounds similar to a problem I had multiple times on the PTR after patches, and clearing the cache always fixed it.

ok, I have tried:

resetting to defaults, deleting my addons and wtf folder, deleting cache, repairing, uninstalling my antivirus and firewall, grabbing my girl's copy from her computer (which works for her), uninstalling and re-installing from their new client download, updating all my drivers, updating directx, nothing worked. At the suggestion of my girlfriend I tried logging in on her computer (again, she can log in on hers). I can log in! Wait, I only have 3 characters out of 10? Click on one to log in, pregression bar goes across the screen and to max as per ususal, and then sits there doing nothing. Go to task manager which says wow is not responding. Doesn't matter which of those 3 characters I select the same thing happens. I get my girl to log in to one of her characters again, and sure enough, it still works for her. I get her to log onto my machine, and it crashes on login just like it does for me.

This is a HUGELY flawed patch and I'm getting annoyed at the blue's responses of "your antivirus is the issue" "your firewall is the issue" "re-download the entire game and re-install that". None of that is the answer and they're just looking for scapegoats.

My Real ID status has been "Shadow word death needs nerfed" for the last day.

It's not so much that the DPS is too high, but that priests can't be trusted with it.

Their characterization of "Priest DPS too high, mostly because of SW:D spam and

that's hard on healers" is perfectly accurate. IMO regular damage is a bit obscene

too (ie: I'm averaging 8.5k DPS over 10 minutes with 0 mana debt, unbuffed, not

in shadow form, on skull level targets using nothing but mind-flay and shadow fiend).

When you toss up dots and start playing like a non-retard you easily hit around 13k

for an indefinite period of time. When a target gets to 25% you can ~double your

DPS provided a healer keeps you from getting insta-killed. Pain supression is probably

a better DPS cooldown than Power Infusion at this point.

My most recent death was a quick run through HoR: friend's 277 geared prot pladin,

frost DK, resto shaman, and pug fire mage + me. I've had threat issues all night but

we make it to the last boss.

VT, DP, SW:P, SF, mindflay x2 --> pull threat -> fade. Keep DPS going (around 16k)

Boss hits 25%, fade drops off, boss casts overlord's brand on me, I gain agro,

Boss starts making his way towards me.

T-1.2s Shadow word death crit: 26k

T-0.2s Shadow word death crit: 24k

T-0.2s Backlash hits me: 8.5k

T-0.1s Backlash hits me: 9k

T-0.1s Overlord's brand hits me: 8k

T-0.1s Overlord's brand hits me 6.5k

T-0.0s I die.

My mage is pulling 7k DPS in heroics wearing nothing better than Level 60 dungeon gear

which was on par with a full 277 + shadowmourn frost DK.
