i like the ring but the doll sounds like it needs an add on of it's own to use properly.

cool idea though.

I got to like 75 arch and I couldn't do it anymore, too much flying, too much random, just got bored of it.

Not speaking to you directly or anything, but I'm seeing lots of posts about how many people really don't like Archaeology. Yet, they keep doing it as if they're forced to. I don't get it! :wacko:

Hit 85 last Friday, and loving heroics! Screw the haters, I'm more of a casual (work full time) and I'm having tons of fun with my guild! Did all the zones as they were tons of fun, minus Vashj'ir (I hate water levels, even with the seahorse) and Uldum (cat quests fun, Jones not so much). Twilight Highlands also felt pretty mediocre on the first half (Horde-side).

The dragon quests were fun, but the cutscenes were terrible considering it consisted of two aspects fighting it out. Looks like poor animating on their part, which really made me sad.

Bitching aside though, I'm enjoying this expansion very much, in just about every aspect. Hell, I can't say I've ever completed all the zones just because I was having fun! :happy:

:( the realm I play on is so dead, I have a 15 minute wait as a healer for dungeons.

You think yours is dead..Ours only has two Horde guilds that even raid seriously.

Well finally started playing last night. Hit 81 after Tron and called it a day. Have been leveling in Hyjal and dam do I love this zone. So far have loved all the lore and am looking forward to Deepholm and Uldum.

[treemonster]

did the best quest ever in uldum tonight. i knew it was going to be super awesome when i read what the quest objective is so i fired up fraps to get the quest on video.

if you don't want any spoilers then i suggest not watching. otherwise enjoy in 720p if you like.

in case you are wondering about the lag, yeah we were getting lag all night. never seen it like this from recording alone, though i was recording at 60fps so...

[treemonster]

hit 84 the other night and then finished up in uldum last night.

i now have a new favourite zone, replacing nagrand, which replaced stv. the quests and cut scenes were just awesome, it felt like one part the scorpian king, one part indiana jones, with the awesome gnome sidequests thrown in for good measure.

the lead up quests to twilight were kind of annoying overall, but built up to something epic. the ride to twilight was pretty awesome, and the bit where you wait for the blimp was hilarious, but a let down when the blimp actually gets there.

i'm getting kind of annoyed that quest rewards i can use no longer give even small stat increases, but simply swap out some combination of haste, crit and mastery. i guess i could've stacked those stats if i had thought about it, but i don't tend to worry too much about gear stats until at least i start getting max level blues.

525 Cooking and FA. Now to work on Archaeology. Not to concerned with Fishing, it'll get there as I farm mats for cooking recipes.

Acendent Council Phase 2 is the most obnoxious thing yet.

I think I'd rather fight from dragons.

[CoLdFuSi0n]

I Bolded the part you should really be paying attention to.

• 
  Deep Freeze (Magic)
  Stunned and Frozen.
  5 seconds remaining
  

Can you see what is awesome about that and why you should be using that damn near on cool down unless you have a good reason not to?

Have you ever considered making a video? You're claiming to dominate world+dog and you barely understand how the class plays. I'm not saying such a thing is impossible, but what you're saying could make for a good sequel to world of roguecraft.

Raiding is costing me about 1,000g per hour. Capping my professions cost me almost 70,000 gold.

1,000g an hour i doubt that

[the evn show]

1,000g an hour i doubt that

Flask of spirit is 300g, flask of int is around 250g

Pots are ~ 20g each (2 per pull, one before combat, one during combat) 1 food at ~10g per.

5 minutes per pull is about 12 pulls per hour.

600g (pots + food x 12) + 300g (flask) + 100g (at least one full repair) = ~1000g.

Finally went to conclave of wind and killed the first boss: pretty fun once you get the tank swap thing sorted.

Went spent an hour working on twilight council making it to around 40% (second set of mobs) and then gave

up. It's just plane obnoxious and I don't look foward to it every week.

Never thought I'd say this but I'm actually kind of enjoying the levelling grind with my frost mage. He's now lvl 39 and currently working through the western plaguelands. I did a couple of runs through the scarlet monastary too, the dungeon finder is a very useful tool. :)

[enigma-penguin Veteran]

Most people in my guild changed mains for cata and we really wanted rusted drakes on the new toons (at least) so we decided to go in and do the hardmodes for 10 man with 5-6 people. I would suggest it if anyone ever fancied getting the drake and even starcaller, it's a walk in the park and you can steamroller it with very little trouble. Just be sure to use freya on yogg + 1 if you're pugging or people will go insane :laugh:

If you're going for no lights in the darkness, well I wouldn't suggest pugs :p

[Tharp Daddy]

Trying to decide on my alt. I had a fun time with my DK pre-4.0 (he was around level 70), but now for some reason i find him plain boring to play. I'm trying to decide between mage, rogue, paladin, and warlock. Anyone have any suggestions?

I would say go with a Pally, Im rolling one atm and Im absolutely loving it :)

Tank, Spank and Heal? Yes please! :D

Let the camping begin, i was not able to get a Time lost protodrake during LK However, now there is a new mount to camp. Aeonaxx in Deepholme will drop Reins of the Phosphorescent Stone Drake.

Just a quick question for anyone that might know... what is the usually accepted order of attack when we are using markers?

i.e. Yesterday the tank was marking Cross, Skull and Blue Square (with the blue square being hunter's trap). I guessed Skull would be first... but both cross and skull seemed to be taking equal damage (i.e. no mob went down quicker than the other).

However, I am guessing the point of marking is obviously for order... so yeah what marker is which? (As in first mob to attack, second etc etc).

Cheers guys!

[Slane]

Really up to tank. Just ask 'em and see what they saw.

I usually use Skull first kill, unmarked for second. I ask the CC's to tell me what symbol they want to use and use it.

[MR_Candyman]

Depends on the guild and group. For pugs I always make SURE we agree on an order. Our Guild's standard is:

Skull

Cross

Square

Circle

Diamond

Triangle

Star

Moon

Hunter #1 always traps square, and the rest get trapped, sheeped, ect. depending on who else is in the group. Tank always tanks skull and cross for us

[the evn show]

Just a quick question for anyone that might know... what is the usually accepted order of attack when we are using markers?

In 5-man content its generally accepted that "skull = kill", "x = kill second", "moon = sheep", "square = 'other cc' (killed before sheep)"

We went back to Elemental council in Bastion of Twilight, it felt way less annoying this time around. Maybe we were just better at phase 2

and it didn't last as long, or maybe we were just more organized about making sure we stood in tornado/void zone but it just sucked less.

We had a few wipes (half a dozen or so) due to disconnects. That lead to a lot of downtime as people would take some time to get back

on, and when they did they'd be in another instance and have to zone out, zone back in and run to us (summoning didn't work either).

Went over to BWD and killed Artramedes. The RP before the event made Maloriak the coolest boss in the zone because he sounds like

Starcream. You don't really get that during his encounter (or maybe I just play with game sounds too low) but he was awesome during

his chat with Deathwing.

Our first pull of Artramedes went really well: 30% until we wiped due to two healers and a tank getting disconnected. Pretty good considering

we were just feeling out the fight mechanics before we went to bed. Our second was a messy kill: lost three people in the first half of the fight

to 're-re' stuff, most of us played like face-rollers, but we still got him. He's a pretty fun fight even if it's trivially easy. If the make they took away

half the gongs and tripled the damage he does then he'd be one of the best in the game.

Moon is ALWAYS sheep, and its ALWAYS MY SHEEP!!!

i'm thinking of hopping guilds yet again.

so far i do like that there are people actively talking in guild chat but...

out of like a 200 man roster there's only handful that are regularly active.

no one gets in vent except for a few during raids, not even for heroics even though they always complain about wiping.

the motd is "get ready for raiding next week" and all i can think is, who are these raiders? there are like 10 regular people online each night and half of them are less than 80, and it seems everyone int eh guild is constantly wiping in heroics.

there seems to be better social guild who are more focused on pvp than this guild advertising in /2 nightly. they also claim to have active vents which is a big plus for me. and they're all teh same guild level as my current one.

planned events are set for 9pm server time, so around 10pm my time, which is fairly late even for my bro who is on mst(near west coast). so far the participation from teh guild has been low, and the start up time seems to take a really long time instead of being prepared in advance to get actually started at the planned time.

there seems to be only a single member that seems interested in pvp progression at all. and he doesn't have a mic.

in all honesty it's a little too slack even for a slack player like me. i mean i go afk for 5 minutes between 5mans runs and bg's for a smoke and take my time doing stuff, but at least i try to be prepared for stuff i do and get in vent when ever i'm playing to hang out.

This is True for our Guild except for the exception that Circle gets Banished Generally unless stated otherwise before pull.
