I won another hilt?again. That's three total. Sold one, used one (to see the quest), and this one I'll probably give away to a friend because the quest line is kinda lame.

My priest has one drop every single time he randoms into heroic halls of reflection, doesn't always win the roll but it'll always drop.

Queing up in Random Dungeon as a tank is hacks. The longest que for me was 5 seconds. In the course of two hours, farmed roughly 60 emblems. Jesus it's easy to get badges.

Can you even repeat that quest once you completed it the first time? I was under the impression that the quest is not repeatable. It'd be cool if it was. I could get the healing version of it as well. :p

Hit 67, really enjoying WoW right now and the new dungeon finder is fantastic Blizzard (Y)

Then ME2 is upon us :laugh:

My current character at 67, don't think I'm that badly equipped :) - http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Anachronos&cn=Ayres

By the way can anyone explain Battlegroups to me? Says im Cruelty / Crueldad and I heard someone talk about it in-game.

The dungeon finder definitely improved WoW for me ten-fold, gives people with not much time on their hands a chance to join groups without having to put up with

elitist asking for Item Level 245+ gear, 17 kinds of achievements and whatnot, you just join and go nuts.

As for battlegroups, it's basically a number of realms that are within each 'battlegroup' meaning they share Battlegrounds and Arenas, which was done to decrease queue times.

I also believe the new dungeon system works off the battlegroup system.

I kind of understand what you're saying, should I be concerned about it for anything or does it not really matter?

edit: Also what's the best DPS addon meter for instances?

I don't get it, why should you be 'concerned' ? It's just a system meant to decrease queue times for every realm that was implemented ages ago.

Back in the days, 4-5 even 6 hour queues for certain battlegrounds wasn't unheard of on some realms.

EDIT: I'm using Recount

I've only ever done a battleground once, I was just wondering if some reason being in a certain battlegroup was better than another, or if your friends weren't in the same it might affect something end game :p

Remember I've been out of WoW since like patch 2.2 :blush:

I like Skada Damage Meter. It has a threat monitor, too.

I already have a threat monitor, so I'll grab Recount and see if it's simpler :) But thanks.

Well, you'd have to move server to also move battleground and you can't really say "X Battleground is better" because there aren't any solid statistics on any of them. Yes, some battlegroups, Alliance might have a higher Win / lose ratio in AV

or perhaps Horde wins more Arathi Basins but it's completely up in the air. So just play the game and don't pay much attention to it.

How popular are rogues now...I just started my first one last night...Ive played almost every class and man I really fill like Ive missed out for so many years not playing this class I mean is is a **** load of fun, and I love all the burst damage, how does everyone else fill about rogues. Are they still popular in wow today....I havent played in like a year and I was wondering if they are still badass....

The dungeon finder is pretty awesome. But I still think they should of added a third difficulty for the better emblems.

I don't think they could make the zones hard enough (TBC 2.0) to be fun or 'worthy' of dropping the best gear in the game without also enraging 95% of the player base who have gotten used to face rolling easy content for free gear.

WoTLK is the expansion of easy mode, I doubt they'll be giving us anything that makes 'casual' content more difficult.

Being a DPS kinda sucks with the dungeon finder. Takes forever

That's the problem with there being too many DPS and not enough healers/tanks. There are some things blizzard could do to encourage people to non-DPS roles (ie: make most 25-man raid encounters require 5 tanks and 5 healers). You'll still have people rolling multiple DPS alts but rarely more than one tank or healer alt.

We need Magtheridon cubes, shadow labs trash pulls, and m'uru enrages at all tiers of content. We need 5-man boss fights that last 5-10 minutes with good DPS, so your healer runs out of mana if you stand in a fire and you wipe to enrage if you die. Right now the most fun 5-man content in the game is Naxx-10 because at least then it feels like you're accomplishing something.

If DPS required any sort of effort maybe we'd see people 'taking the easy road' of tanking or healing. Right now a single tank or healer can carry a 5-man group, the same is not true for a single DPS class: doing 'too much' damage just gets you killed.

True. I tank on my warrior, I doubt I'll ever tank on my druid (boomkin/healer) nor on my DK (mostly cause he's farm) nor will I on my pally (heal/ret). It's just to easy to call yourself DPS and do it then it is to tank. Mostly is I don't want to put in the time/effort to tank on those other classes when I already do (though I don't think it'll be hard since I already do tank on one toon), which is the same case with everyone else.

I'll join your wishful thinking and sadly we both know it won't happen. :(

On another note, any of ya'll DPS saying it's taking to long. Better kiss some ass and suck up to a tank you know and que with him. By myself it takes less than 3 seconds to find a group, with just one DPS that went up to 4 seconds.

Time it takes is also dependent on how many people are activly searching on the dungeon finder on your battle group

Yup. But as a tank it doesn't matter how many people are looking it's nearly instant for me. The only time I waited for more than 5 seconds was when I que'd for FoS only.

Yeah, that's what I see a lot. Of course, I generally run them with my fiancee and her brother. Healer + Tank + DPS = Bwooonnnnggg... instant. :p

I think you are right. I keep trying to get back into WoW, but the magic has gone somewhere else.

I hear that the ICC content is decent, and there are still the hard modes in Ulduar and ToC that I think are challenging. But I just can't commit to a solid raiding guild right now to get through that stuff. So all that is left is easy and boring content.

But the game would have a lot more depth to it if they added a difficulty level to each LK instance for every new emblem. Instead they just hand them out. Oh well, this is really an over discussed subject :p. Must find something else to do with time...

Speaking of time...

I spent my time today getting Exalted with Timbermaw Hols and the Sporeggar. This netted me the Diplomat title and 35 exalted factions.
