Its just a game. You (people in general) can deal with it for a week or two. You can get back to your daily grinding, or your daily quests soon enough. Its not like you haven't been doing the same exact thing for years. It won't hurt for something different. Its part of the WarCraft storyline and i think it fits in well. Its mass chaos going into Northrend to face the Lich King Arthas. With everything happening during this event, I think it sets it up well.

Yeah, i'm sick of hearing the whining too. Have some fun for once instead of the mindless farming. Calm down, its a game, and WoW isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Regarding the Zombie Plague:

So it looks like a cure has finally been found? for now.

...

Couple of other important notes:

* The scourge invasion will continue for a few more days* The prologue event is not over! More to come!!i>

* The Karazhan boss will be up for approximately another week still

* We increased the respawn rate of the Necropoli

* Zombie cure should kick in by around noon PST

I think the zombe event can have its moments. But it sure does make me mad when all the npcs are dead and I can't do what I need to do to play the game. Just /quit and go do other things I guess.

I had an opportunity to heal Kara with my Holy Paladin last night. I haven't even played that character since the patch. I probably could have solo healed it. It was ridiculously easy with the new Beacon of Light ability and the AoE Holy Light Glyph. The Glyph is more impressive than the Beacon of Light, tbh. The key with the Beacon of Light is the Beacon only receives heals from actual healing done (not over-healing). So you can't make the tank a Beacon, and then just spam heal party members unless everyone is taking damage. I found that it was best to put the Beacon of Light on myself as it ensured that I stayed up as I was healing everyone else.

AoE heal ability is awesome. Its about damn time Pallys get an AoE heal. Overall, it was all so easy and boring. I was having a contest to see how much I could over-heal lol. My Warlock is more fun to play. I need to run some Sunwell and Black Temple w/ my holy pally now.

They changed Mad Alchemist potions! You can only drink 1 in a fight now. That sucks. They were so cheep to make, and now I have to make mana potions too.

The Zombie event is great. It gives (at least me) us something new to participate in rather than the daily grind. At least on my server I can still quest, use flight paths, etc. Most flight paths are covered by the healers so there's not much zombie action there. I for one love the event!

I find it more fun to spam Abolish Disease on people trying to get infected.

For all the complaining from people who dislike the event, I think it's only fair that somebody else gets to have fun by denying them some.

It's one potion per fight. Period.

3-4 pots per attempt to learn M'uru make this pretty much the greatest raid improvement since 2.0.

I'll give my two cents about the whole thing.

There are some really funny moments and there are some annoying moments. I think there should be some tweaking of what NPCs can be zombified. Like quest givers, flight path masters, etc. One way to make it more appealing is if you got reputation from the Argent Dawn for killing zombies or maybe some of those Necrotic Runes. That would also give people reason to keep the zombies under control, maybe even make raids with healers to cure/exterminate a town of zombies.

Aside from that, the event is a great idea that just needs to be tweaked. I love the idea of incorporating the lore and plot into the actual game for players to interact. There is a plague spreading from Northrend and it's not like you'd not be able to not participate if it were real. If there wasn't a world event, you would go get the expansion pack, install it, and BAM all new plot. Think about what is actually happening in the game, it's pretty interesting and entertaining how Blizzard is going about this whole thing.

With a once in a lifetime event going on, the fact that people even want to do the same old boring things they've done for the past four years and can do again once this event is over kind of blows my mind.

"Let's see, I can go to the auction house and sell some stacks of ore, maybe do that quest I've already done ten thousand times for a bit of gold, become a zombie and wreak havoc on the city (or defend it)...hmm yeah I think I'll go sit in the auction house and sell stuff for a while, then I'll go kill Hogger!"

WTF?

The only thing going here is a disagreement as to what is fun.

To each his own:

I know players who LOVE the Zombie event and love to **** people off with no recourse.

I know people IRL who play and play the Auction House like the stock market and take it seriously.

Two entirely different entities of the game that occur simultaneously.

My only argument/opinion on the whole thing is that it should be similar to world pvp. If you want to you can be flagged for this Zombie Event, if not you don't have to be bothered with it.

Not to completely change the subject, but I'm looking to hear from those of you who play Druids. I play a Tauren Druid on Lothar. I'm currently level 57, and I'm enjoying the character very much. Do any of you use any specific Druid addons? I run with pretty much the default UI. Also, I was looking for a couple good macros to use. (I'm Feral specced). Thanks for any info you guys have.

Yay, finally someone else on Lothar. I've been on Lothar since original WoW release day.

I play alliance though, sorry :( I also don't have a druid. :p

I can definitely confirm Sunwell is a joke. I tanked Brutallus today for my first time and didnt die until he was at around 2%. I also finally came in for Felmyst and didnt get MCed or die from encapsulate. Easy fights.

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.

#showtooltip

/cast [nocombat, noflyable] Swift Stormsaber; [nocombat, flyable] Swift Flight Form; [combat,noswimming] Travel Form; [combat, swimming] 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.

#showtooltip [stance:3] Feral Charge - Cat; Feral Charge - Bear

/cast [stance:0/2/4/5/6] Dire Bear Form(Shapeshift)

/cast [stance:1] Feral Charge - Bear;[stance:3] 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.

#showtooltip Mark of the Wild

/cast [target=mouseover,exists] Mark of the Wild; Mark of the Wild;

They recently held the Halloween event and it made me stop playing cause I hated that "evil" voice that said some random "creepy" thing once every 5min.

Otherwise pretty cool game though.

Lol!! So your going to stop playing because of a voice that comes up now and then... Besides the 'Hallows end' event will be up soon if you have a look on the calender which is located on the top right hand side of the screen by the mini map..

~ Obi Wong ~ Nice looking Rogue btw ^^ I wont one ;)

*gah* Just waiting for those final days to count down till WOLK its killing me, I have litterally stopped play since I have nothing to do. However I did go on this morning for a bit there was this quest chain in UC with some Argent Dawn people, is this the quest chain that leads into getting the DK or am i just following nothing into nothing yet again?

Likewise. Log in Tuesday at 7:00, raid until 9:00 and I'm done for the week. With 2 raids left it's pretty much impossible to get the last couple of pieces of gear I wanted (trinket, helm, shoulders) so I'm just staying away all together.

I gave up on hoping for a new main-hand and snagged the staff from Sunwell: it should last until 80 (assuming blue quality WoTLK gems it's on par with level 80 heroic loot

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.

I believe just 55 is required.

That's correct.

On beta you can just make one (at least, the last time I tried you could). When the game goes live you will be required to have a level 55 character on the server on which you want to create a deathknight.

Deathknights start at level 55 - completing the starter quests should place you at 58 and geared appropriately to start questing in outland. The starter zone lasts about 4 hours ?30 mins and is one of the coolest things you can do in the game.

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but what is the Death Knight?

I know it can tank, do some DPS and throw some diseases but what is the primary reason you'd bring a Death Knight to say a raid, to tank or to DPS?
