"why does no one respect the naming guidelines?????? "

isn't that what the RP servers are for?

wow, fark me blackrock is popular... i thought id try it from the other server i was bludgin on to join in the Horde fun...
see how it goes i guess
like a 30min wait in the queue

Uh... everyone's fishing/cooking o_O

What level are you guys? I'm 23 atm

I'm on Blackrock as a human paladin mining/blacksmithing

i bought the normal version (even though i preorded the CE) and then found out that my gf actually fucking loves this game and so now i cant play cause shes always on the 'puter. I then managed to scam a copy of the CE... its the best CE i have EVER seen in my life.

Now im paying for two accounts YW$*($W haha >_<

Queues on Blackrock are completely gone now though. You can log in any time -- no wait :)

Kargond on Blackrock. Lvl 15 Orc warrior w/Herbalism & Alchemy.

Add me to your list and we can go fer a bash :D

at the moment im a level 33 paladin on Frostwolf, its going well, im using mining and blacksmithing, im like 3pts off of making the ironforge breastplate atm :D cant wait!

i know, its so awesome :D
gogo grandfather winter quests.
you do them all and you get a spell to turn into a snowman :D

i dont know to be honest, though it seems that lots of players are selling them :D just ask around in IF. you should get a bite from people wanting to make a few silvers...

"Instance". . .I've heard that word but have nfi what it means.

Creeps inside an instance -do- respawn, as I was not-so-thrilled to discover when the blackfathom boss killed me =[

I wish there were some non-elite instances... soloing elite mobs is teh tedious.

I'm still hooked to this game..

I'm upto level 18 now, so I'm doing OK.. Not bad for an MMORPG newbie I guess ;) I'm doing alot of walking though, not focusing on single quests. Today I just spent my time looking for more and more minerals to mine. It seems that the level of NPC's as you fan out from your starting location is about right. My character is human, and I've had the pleasure of visiting ironforge and it's surrounds. I finally figured out how to blacksmith properly, yesterday. Would've been good to know this from the beginning, cause I wouldn't have wasted my money on buying weapons. I would've just made them myself.

Still enjoying it. On the server I'm on, Uther (normal), there was a massive war at the front of stormwind today, with some horde characters causing havoc. Then the locals (aliance dwarves, humans, night elves etc.) came in to help. Was astonished to see people at level 60 etc.. Can't wait to hit level 40 though, cause I really want to ride a horse ;) Certainly was a spectacular site to see.

Just a tip to newbies, group up on missions where possible. Makes it way easier, especially when elite characters are your target.

I gotta go back to the game that has taken away whatever other life I've had. Enjoyable still ;)

Was in a group to kill and get Van Kleefs head... Most enjoyable time I've had in this game so far. Group of 5, me be 18, other being 19 and a 23, 24 and a 29... sure was fun and I got pretty rich too... I swear that I got atleast 6-7000 experience points for this on, minus the quest completions (the gnome sprockets quest, and van kleefs head... I'm sure I'll be getting well into lvl after this :)

Now I gotta let my cramped up left hand have a rest.

yes the monthlies. 0_o
tis a bit harsh...
still, echode what server are you on?
im on frostwolf :D lots of fun fun fun, level 38 now, only like 18k exp til level 39, what a grind, its like total 80k exp to get from 38 to 39, its INSANE!
still horsie soon!

90g?
did you miss the part where i said paladin?

paladin = free mount
free mount = envy from every other class

Mount? -_- grrrr

I'm currently level 29 Tauren Shaman on Blackrock.

Thankfully, even though I dont have as much time to play the game I can still get ahead. What many of you don't know, is that we shamans have a special 'win' button we get at level 10. Well, its only Tauren shamans who get the win button.

Btw, what modifications you guys using?
Autobar, Totembar, and cooldownhud are now essential to my play. Hoping to get online in a few more days. Wanna get to 31 on the weekend.

I'm a 42 orc rogue on Spinebreaker and I still don't have a mount. I only have 22 of the 72 gold required saved up (i'm already trained in the skill). Damn running, takes so damn long.

Heh, I wasn't playing WoW much either cuz I was dying so often. Then I figured out I was adventuring in an area like 10 lvls too high. . .now I'm back on track though and it's a lot more fun :D

EDIT: Oh, and in case you don't know about it already:

I'm still playing WoW. My character is at lvl 32 about 4,000 exp points from lvl 33. My warrior is doing well. I've basically bought armour etc with heaps of extra stamina, strength, agility etc. and my armour rating against similar leveled beasts is at 41.8%, which is pretty good ;). WSo good infact that I can still beat beasts 2-3 levels higher than me and with the help of counterstrike and disarm I was able beat a lvl 35 character, with 2 others attacking me. I was pretty happy with that. I actually watched a Paladin with help of a mage etc almost fail in their attampts (the paladin was lvl 35)

Certainly get's more enjoyable the higher up you get. On the server I am on, Uther (normal server), there are daily raids on SW and Xroads and South shore etc. At this level, I am actually feeling that I can help with the raids. Unfortunate for the alliance on my server, we don't have a clue. Some of us do, but most don't even give a f*ck about helping out. The horde players on the other hand look like a very well organised bunch and if we didn't have the numbers, they'd hammer us for ever. Yesterdays raid on SW was a joke. The horde got into one of the buldings and the stupid alliance (I am one aswell) would go on a kamakazi mission in the bottle neck of the entry corridore. The only way we beat them in this unorganised was to have 2-3 times more people (the horde had about 30) and to get non pvp enable people behind them in the building. Oh well, still can't wait to get my horse though ;)

bam !

what in gods name is that UI!?! or whats it a combination of?

haha wd krash :)

joel - thats cosmos :) its super pro

Using bandages is 1 minute cooldown I think... if you get first aid from the beggining (I found out about it about lvl 25 or something), at these higher lvl's it can be a life saver if both your's and the enemies health are near the end.

In pvp warriors get owned by paladins most of the time aswell as in duels, mainly because they have instant health.. warriors have to spend money to get this stuff, especially being a blacksmith/miner like me. Our rage generation also sux, especially in duels, because we can't generate the rage at the start with a charge. The only way we generate is if we cause damage or get damage. The AH is certainly a great place to buy stuff :) I have heaps of health potions, rage potions etc, just to be on the safe side.

Soloing warrior is harder than other classes in most cases, but in groups warrior take all the crap, while the pussies (priests, paladins etc) hang back and just heal us :) certianly a great combo. For the Morbent fel fight, I basically held him off while the others took care of the 4 other cronies. The cronies were lvl 30 and less, so it was easy for them... then they just healed me and threw a few spells/hits morbents way :) Funny thing was, it seemed like my health bar was the only health bar falling near the end. :) Like I said, I love being a warrior even with the issues related to the class.

haha Krash. The other day I said something along the lines of "As if a level 31 priest would beat me" (I was lvl 33 shaman).

I then had to argue for like an hour with my guild leader (who has rolled a priest whilst everyone in the guild catchets up to him) who assures me I would definately get my ass kicked. His fiance agreed and she's a higher level shaman.

Eventually we agreed that Im a stubborn, stuck up jerk who doesnt know how to play the game..and he is a retarded hypocrite. Well.. kinda agreed anyway.

I'm level 34 now, not far from 35. Just picked up first aid the other day, because healing myself is killing my mana more often. Quite handy when combined with autobar. Money is rolling in due to thousand needles (which Ive now left) being filled with mines.

I <3 Mithril.

I’m playing a NE Rouge "Asmodean" on Uldulm im only lvl 18.
but in my defence I have only been playing for like 5 or 6 days.

personally I’m looking forward to Battlegrounds, so that my server doesn’t chug whenever there is a pvp session going on.

out.

NE Rogue..well *thats* original.
Oh wait..wrong forums *cough*

Still 34 -_-
I took up a rather addictive and counter productive habit. That being, everytime I find I cant level due to ganking.. I go to Redridge and absolutely smash the local populace. Its really awesome if I get a few other shamans/fast runners/mounteds to come too. Absolute hit and run territory.

But levelling is a bit rough for me now. I solo, am a quitter, and there are seemingly more and more lvl 60 druids who have nothing better to do than root me to the ground when an infernal (3 levels above me) aggroes me. I sooo envy that ability. I usually use low level frostshock on alliance chars whilst they're fighting the mob. Haha, no chance of escape!

I have bad karma =/

Warriors suck pretty hard. They seem fun early on but once you hit about level 40 with them you realise how much they suck. As a rogue i have the same dps as a warrior that is 7 levels above me (i'm 46, he's 53). True the warrior isn't a damage dealing class but they're just so boring too. If you're alliance play paladin, same as a warrior but you can heal and if you're horde go Shaman.

yeah cheat shot and kidney punch are my friend.

My comments are based on the warrior character that i played and what my friend (the 53 warrior) has been saying. He hates it but isn't going to change as he's put too much time in it already. Warriors do have one saving ability which is execute, damn that thing can deal some damage.

Then again you have to choose a character that fits your playing style and a warrior just wasn't what i was after.

Oh God










I just bought gold off eBay.


Yes, I know it's unethical, amoral, and just plain sad, but I did it anyway.








But you should see the killer axe I bought!!!!

The best deal was US$29 (AU$38) for 100 gold. Meh, it was payday and I had nothing better to spend it on :P

eBay + PayPal + Credit Card = very dangerous combination

Still, I have no regrets about it. Probably wouldn't do it again though, considering I've spent half of it already >_<

mmm we started our assault on MC today (molten core)

it requires 40 x lv 60's all decked out with UBRS (Upper black rock spire) equip
the last couple of groups to try MC have wiped on first or 2nd pull, but yesterday a group got to first mini-boss then wiped 5 times and gave up

we pulled first one and only lost 9 ppl !

then we got a bit further thru blah blah got like 6 or 7 pulls thru and a Roamer re-popped on us and we wiped, then i DCed >_< now im in 500 queue T_T theyre just clearing the re-pops from start so i should be back in soon

http://spam.sonuku.com/user/~tomo/moltencore2.jpg

this instance is insane, these 62/63 elites pull in groups of 3-4 and dont drop any loot ... cept 1% chance of epic parts of set
im happy to be only druid in the party, so i get any druid items ^_~

Ehehehe, Tomo fails at teh interweb :P

No, you do.

I'm still sticking with my warrior. He's doing well. I'm at lvl 39 now with about 20,000 exp to go for lvl 40. My warrior is still able to beat things 2-3 lvl's above quite easily (with about 10% health left). Then I gotta find another 60 gold from somewhere so I can buy a mount (18g for training, 72g for the horse.. damn pally's just need 8g for training and they get a free mount *shakes fist*). I might just hang around stranglethorne Vale and kill the apes, tigers etc since their parts are pretty good for making money. I actully found that in about an hour I got about 3-4 g's after selling the stuff they dropped. Much easier than killing things that drop money. I tried the dropped money route and it took over an hour to get more than 1g in money and about 1g in dropped equipment. Saving for a mount is a grind....

yer. Warriors do have a problem. I've dueled and I usually (not always) win against any other class with a lvl below me, I even do well against same lvl classes, but I usually loose. But the only main problem is, I get them down, then they heal. I even lost against a druid with me using my super health potion (which is expensive). I'm actually working towards getting the piercing howl talent in the fury talent tree (be done by lvl 47), which knocks out opponents for a few seconds, just enough to use my bandages. Our main problem are our timers.. If we use retaliation (15 seconds of swing as fast as anything with a few crits) we have a 30 minute cool down which also affects sheild block (6 seconds of low damage recieved), so realistically once during an instance. Our miss rates also suck, but lately my miss rate has hovered around the proper 5% and even my crits are sticking around 6%, which is supposed to be normal. But I've heard of warriors with a miss rate of more than 10% on a regular basis. Nothing worse than having the first 3 swings showing as misses (the misses always seem happen in 2's, 3's etc). Warriors only build rage on the damage they cause (why 2 handed weapons seem to be better to use than a sword and shield) or the damage they recieve, so if we miss the first few swings, we have to make up for it later.

One thing I like about warriors though, is that some of our abilites/talents can effect every enemy around us, no matter what the number is. I actually agro'd a mob of about 15 once with my demorilized shout. They all got ! above their heads and then decided to attack me... hehe.. just enough time for the healers to heal themselves and me. I also like Berzerker stance, which is unlocked by doing a warrior specific quest. There are some nice things in there. I particularly like intercept, which allows me to "charge" a fleeing enemy, daze them for 3 seconds then attack ;). Also handy to have the ability to be immune to fear etc type spells for 10 seconds. There are also other talents that allow me to deal damage (I'm talking even 300+ crits etc at my current lvl) to more than 1 enemy at a time (whirlwind and cleave effect upto 4 enemies). Oh and pummel is a god send. Using a 2 hander, I was unable to break spell casting. I'd be able to do it with a 1 hander and a shield (shield bash), but pummel certainly helps now. Without casting abilities, some classes are just weak as anything. Haven't duelled since I got berzerker stance and pummel, so could be interesting.

Another problem with warriors is the extreme micro management required in the arms, fury and protection talent tree's. You have to decide what type of warrior you want to be right at the start, or else the build may be a failure in the end game. Currently I'm doing more of a Arms/fury build with a few protection talent points thrown in and my warrior seems to do ok.

In the WoW beta warriors were much better to use apparently. When the retail version came out, everyone that played warrior before and later said that the warriors have been broken since beta. Makes me cry when I see the video from the beta of the lvl 60 undead warrior dealing 1000+ damage and demolishing lvl 57+ mobs in a couple of swings. I wish the warriors could still do that :( We are now just glorified punching bags and even other classes are better at that aswell.

Anyways, there was a warrior protest on Argent Dawns with about 40-50 gnome warriors in IF. The screenshots were hillerious.

1000+ damage is still quite doable for a warrior (with execute), also mages can hit for 1500+ damage (damn them)

I really like using my hunter. Heaps of people dont use their pets... i use it because the last talent you gain 20 health everytime your pet attacks and by lvl60 you can fairly tank your pet up.

You've obviously never played against any good hunters Tom :P

pfft, their all n00bs. ;)

Ah well, im sure blizzard will fuck up alot of clases by 'balancing' them. :|

apart from draggin this to the top...
THEIR 'FIXING' SEAL OF THE CRUSADER! omg!
that was about the only ability that made a paladin weilding a 2h wep for the dmg any good :O
every paladin just became a shield wearer i think :O
unless of course you get an epic 2h or somthing random like that. though the shatterer is an awesome 1h wep for the disarm bit , granted the whole lvl 35 thing :O

@ Vuxacha
yer, we make good tanks. Which in some respect sucks, because soloing is so damn hard sometimes. True I can still handle creatures that are upto 3 lvl's higher than me (any more and I will die, unless I use retaliation which has a 30 minute cooldown and then I have to hope the miss rate doesn't screw me as it usually does). Using either a 2 hander or a 1h and shield doesn't make much of difference in what damage I get dealt. Just that the 1h 1 shield combo is slower at killing. 2h just kills things quicker and generates more rage in a shorter time which is good. But in terms of group tanking 1h and shield in Defensive stance is a must on most occations. I have died many times when attacking a boss in a group when using the 2 hander route (need it for rage generation then battleshout the whole group then sunder armour 5 times). But atleast on those occations, the boss was almost dead by the time I died. One of our main problems is that if we decide to go for protective talants, we seriously suck solo. If we go arms/fury talents soloing is easier, but we won't tank aswell as a protective spec warrior. All this micro management sucks.

Go to this thread to see how screwed warriors are : http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-warrior&t=91570&p=1&tmp=1#post91570
A lvl 60 warrior with the best gear (epic sword etc) get's beaten by a naked paladin etc.


Anyways,
I'm at level 42 now, about 20,000 experience to lvl 43.. I still have no mount (still about 50g's short after buying alot of gear). Been buying plate armour (sure is expencive to repair) and I got myself a pretty nifty 2 handed sword (38.8 dps with chance on hit: 150 shadow damage and it's 70.1 dps on my specs stock, but with battleshout it's 80.1), Witchfury. I'm thinking of getting it enchanted for +7 damage, but it's expencive on the realm I'm on. I'm thinking that in a few levels there will be better swords for the money. I've also got a better one hander and will be getting a better shield. I've also started to duel wield aswell. There are so many debates on the warrior forums about what the better option is end game, so I think I'll practice in all of them. Yesterday, I actually duelled with a lvl 55 Tauren warrior. I lost obviously, but I did cause him some damage (even though he used peircing howl on me, which dazes me for 6 seconds and I still can't spec it for another 3 lvl's.. damn talent tree's), so much so, all the horde that were watching soluted me and clapped ;) Funny stuff. Either I'm pretty good, or he's just crap. I recon the latter, although he gave another tauren warrior at lvl 58 a run for his money. I suspect he used retalition in that fight.

Was involved in a RAID the other day. A horde guild with about 20 or so, mostly lvl 60's attacked darnasses. I went to help out the alliance (died twice for my efforts). Certainly was a sight to see one of those huge lvl 60 ancients attacking the horde as they entered the main gates. On the alliance side there were quite a few healers trying to keep the ancient alive. Worked quite well because the horde ran away to regroup.. The ancient died in the end, but there weren't many horde left.

Tactically, on our server the alliance generally suck. The horde always hammer us untill we get way greater numbers. Some of the tactics we seem to employ is "everyone attack at once". Or, "follow that lvl 50 horde" to an ambush.. We never seem to group with our party members which is why we suck. Can't wait to get hammered when battlegrounds get's released. We'll get owned.

Just a tip for those looking for a quick buck ingame. Wildvines, taken on rare occations from some of the skull whatevers (around lvl 40's in Stranglethorne Vale) are gold. On my realm, you can auction them off for 1g each, even though to sell to vendor is only like 10 coppers.. ;) Every wildvine (all 6 of them) I've auctioned for 1g has been bought. Anybody know of good spots for getting rich for a lvl 42 warrior like me? Be it money, items etc. I need money for the mount, cause all this running is making me tired.... *shakes fist at paladins*

For a funny read about warriors, there is a pretty good thread on the warrior forums at worldofwarcraft.com. Apparently blizzard are going to release class specific shirts. So the thread basically has "what should be on the warrior shirt?". My fav is "I'm a warrior. I can hit 2 birds with 7 stones". Classic.

I what to know what a good server is to play for world of war

im on frostwolf... man im tempted to join blackrock and make myself a alliance char just to gank you echode...

i hate STV, im really enjoying the western plaguelands alot tho :-D i dont play much atm just too busy but being a lvl 51 paladin makes things a slight amount easier.

me and a few guildies after a weekly guild event streaked out toons from SW down to goldshire, then following the road east to 3ways in redridge and ran from there south into darkshore, still nakie!
we then beat stitches down in that fashion ;O
i was dual weilding bones afterwards, i had his femur as a shield and some bear bone as my main :P it was like a 4-7dmg bone lol.
but we went along ganking a bunch of lower level horde who were tryin to harass people there :P
gotta love naked runs... especially when you pvp like that 0_o

Level 45 now.
Yeh, that downtime blowed. Not because it affected my gameplay (I was at work) but because it fsked all my auctions.

Because the servers were down for a day, no1 bidded on most of my items. So they came back (minus the deposit fee).
On top of that, the items which DID get bid on, were bid on for mimimum value because almost nobody was on at ending time (~5am). That is to say, 10 mithril ore for 50 silver. Yep. I was sitting there thinking of cancelling the auction, but the guy bidding was a guildy. After he won the auction I remembered it was my alt's auction so he wouldna known it was me who cancelled if I had.
I learnt my lesson, from now on I'll set min bid higher for some items.

Blackrock's the most populated server in the game... take that to mean what you will =) I'm enjoying playing there though, got stomped in the molten core the other day, was good fun.

PvP.

Im only 46. Spent the week farming. Yay, 60g for me. -_-
I love that Im finally high enough level to do something about the alliance who walk through barrens on the roads as though there's nothing to be afraid of. Heh.

Back to grinding whelps this w/e. Damn I want a whelp pet so bad.

Hey Tomo, I saw you at UC today. Have you decided to go back to skool?

W00tah! Latest patch is gonna remove ress sickness from reincarnation.

The next patch is also going to make some bug fixes etc for warriors. Can't wait to be able to use overpower after a special ability is dodged. Will also get rage generation on parry, dodge, block now. Some other warrior fixes, but I hope they resolve the miss rate bug. Some other classes get improvements aswell and the odd nerf. Some classes will pay less or training. Warriors will pay more. Oh and I mustn't forget, the next patch will give us Battlegrounds. This'll really be just brilliant (unless lag arrives etc).

Oh well... lvl 52 now and about 20,000 from 53. I think that I'll hit lvl 60 about easter monday (long weekend for extra play). *fingers crossed*

There is a miss rate bug. The bug is more prevelent the higher the lvl. I've been farming some rested experience in Sorrow Hill and the miss rate there with mobs the same and 2 levels below is shocking (me 52 mobs, 50-52). Certain mobs seem to have worse miss rates than others. The miss rate get's over 15% for me there everytime. The miss rate is supposed to be 5%. Special abilites are another matter. Execute is useles there... tonight, the first 4 executes I did were misses, then a 50% or so miss rate afterwards. Sunder armour fails alot. Mortal Strike had a shocking miss rate. I also like when rend misses 4 times in a row quite alot here. That being said, I think the next patch fixes a problem with some dodges, parries etc being shown as a misses. Can't remember if this is for mobs or players. So maybe this is a little bug fix. I love it when mobs dodge (especially after patch, where ability dodges will allow overpower). 50% crit rate with overpower. Just to prove a point, I may just let fraps do the talking when I get the time.

It may be mine and 90% of the warrior forums perception that there is a miss rate bug. We may just be wrong. Oh well, like I said, atleast overpower on dodged special abilities and not loosing all rage on an execute miss will make warriors a little happier.

Anyways, pity that Uther is down yet again. I then decided to maybe start a horde character on Blackrock. Unfortunatly, it's down aswell... ARGH! Even proudmoore, where another one of my alts is on is down. This shit is getting beyond a joke.

I'm lvl 54 atm, about 50,000 from 55. The other night, while raiding the usual SS/TM raid, I had to res by myself, since the raid had moved back to SS by then. A lvl 60 horde rogue decided to attack me while I eat. I was at 75% health at this stage. By the time I was able to react my health was down to half way. I just press the retaliation button, then rend, used a major healing potion and ended up soloing the rogue and won. Luckily my Truesilver champions shield proc'd twice for a few of his hits each. Rogues dodge, so overpower was used twice, both times crit. Also must add, that the rogue seemed like a newbie, because I wasn't stunned at all during the whole thing.. Certainly made my day. One thing I didn't like though, was that after the raiding, which lasted about 3 hours I went for repairs and it cost me almost 3 g's.. I must add that I did die about 5 times while raiding. Life of a warrior.

Also, the Horde guild Frater e Fractus raided SW yesterday. They tried to kill the king but failed. They ended up moving to the gallery building in the dwarven district. There were about 20 of them, mostly lvl 60 with maybe 2 or 3 below. Was good to see 30+ alliance (only a few lvl 60's, mostly lvl 50's and 40's wih a few below 30) come along and then totally clear out the room, twice.

Also had some fun earlier when a lvl 30 guildy notified me of a few horde killing npc's etc in Theramore. The horde had a lvl 60 and 3 others who were in mid 50's and in the 40's. When I arrived they were whiping out the inn. Then a few other guildy's turned up aswell (lvl 40's), then we totally whiped them out. Was certainly enjoyable. Can't wait for battlegrounds.

I thought people were kidding when they talked about lvl 500 elites >_<

Dammit, I wanna be lvl 60

/level 32

im a massive lvl38... man i wish i got to play more :(

Yeah, their real level is hidden by the scripting system, and a 500 placeholder is used instead. She's level 63 judging by the number of resists and inability to skin her. Not an easy fight though, the third stage is pure chaos. I got binked for 3500 when she was at 2%

Ive got a bug whereby if I die..the game crashes.
Yeh, makes playing VERY unfun. Especially with queue.

Well, what can I say...


I've hit LEVEL 60.... woohoo..... As soon as I got lvl 60 I went raiding (after buying my remaining abilities that is).. Sure is enjoyable and it seems that I am dieing less... The horde are even scared of me now. Now to do some of these end game instances and get some proper lvl 60 gear.

Oh, the mount mony. I think that you'll find that you'll most likely lvl about 3 times before you get enough money for a mount. That's what happened to me. I found that at around 40, that grinding the trolls at the bar'hai zu whatever ruins in STV (east side of the road towards booty bay and just north of the arena) is great for grinding mount money. The gorilla's drop hair that's worth quite a few silvers, and the trolls drop wildvine, which sell's for quite a bit on the realms server I am on. When I was doing this, wildvine were selling for 1g each and in a 2 hour killing session I would usually get about 5 wildvine along the way.

When it comes to buying mounts now, the guild I am in have a mount fund. The guild doesn't pay for the full mount price, but they do provide about half of the amount needed.

Or you could do what some lamers on the Uther realm do. They have lvl 2 etc alts that they use for begging for gold. I got asked by a zammy yesterday if I could spare 1 gold. I said "get a job" and quickly put him on the ignore list. I hate wankers like that. As if I'm going give someone I don't know my hard earned money.. geez. I give enough to the mount fund as it is..

Anyways, I'm actually thinking of playing my tauren warrior (I love the class) on blackrock more often. Only lvl 4 atm and within a few weeks, I suspect that I'll be in the 20's.

I hit lvl 40 last night and FINALLY got my wolfie!! :D :D

Hooray!!

Now, to do some instance runs so I can afford some new gear to replace my hopelessly outdated armour (my current breastplate is a lvl 24 item >_< )

Well, he has lvl 24 gear, so I'm assuming that he stayed away from the AH. I should learn to do that..

smart with money?!?

All i ever bought was skills and all the items i have were bought for me/someone in my guild found them.

I dont know how to be any smarter *cries*

I've been hanging out in plaguewood, wanting to kill Lord Dykwhatever, which is a random spawn amongst the mobs there. I really wouldn't mind having the songblade he drops regularly. Unfortunatly, his spawn is so rare that even after maybe spending about 12 hours all up in recent weeks there, I still haven't come across him. Unfortunate that I can't find him there, but killing mobs in plague is an easi 15-20g an hour, thanks to the drops that can be sold at ah or vendored. Oh well.. I'm finding lvl 60 boring. Mainly because when I'm on after work, it's the middle of the night server time and there aren't many people around which means less chance of instance runs, so I mostly end up duelling other lvl 60's in IF atm. I'm atually duelling quite well and getting better. There is a lvl 60 pally that is actually duelling me alot, so that I can really practice beating them. Pally's are a 50/50 now and rogues are quite easy to bet, unless they actually know hat to do and leave contantly stunned. I hate priests. Can never beat them. Hate Mages, because they sheep... then hit me 2-3 times and use up all my 4200 hp. That's why I prefer raiding, because with backup I can kick some ass.

BTW, I've started my tauren warrior, krashed (same name of my human warrior on uther), on blackrock. At lvl 6 atm after about an hour of play. I might actually play him more aswell. But I must say, the 50 crits rooock for lvl 6, but not as good as my lvl 60's usual crits in the mid 1000's (most 800+). So hard to get used to the low numbers. That said, I think I'm going to make my tauren a crit build, Possibly more fury, but more than likely a 31 arms (with 5% crit in axes and aim for my human warriors current Mortal Strike build)and 20 fury (with 5% in crits, and aim for my human warrior 5/5 in enrage). With mostly of the tiger stuff (agi/str), since taurens get a hp racial bonus, so I'll rely less on stamina for that reason. Hopefully, I can get the crits upto 30-40%. I should own then.

Almost forgot to meantion, that guild I was in on uther, Prelude of Agony, imploded the other day. There was a mass /gquit after 2 guildy's were being absolute wankers and bringing the whole guild into their argument. The guild sucked anyways, although most of the guildies were great. I was the only warrior above lvl 40 out of over 60 guild members and even then, I rarely got invited to tank for guild instance runs. Pretty crappy when the guild leader asks me to do an instance run then I say yes and he ends up not organising anything and poor me had to turn down request by non guildies to do runs in strat, UBRS etc (lvl 60 warriors, like me, are like celebraties). Pissed me off.. Anyways, now in another guild that was formed by the better members of the previous guild. Sacrifice of Sorrow. Not a bad name and a damn good tabard design ;)

Wel well well.. I decided to copy my 60 human warrior to the PvE test server. Absolute insanity. I can't believe how much pvp goes on at the PvE test server. There were raids forming everywhere for everything. Totally awesome stuff. Also got a guild invite there. Over 50 members and all lvl 60 (except for a few sub 60's). I haven't seen so many lvl 60's in my life. Spent maybe about an hour in a TM raid with 40+ alliance at almost as many horde. Totally insane. Also nice to see that some of the healers on the test server actually heal warriors like me that charge into a dozen horde intimidate shout (great to make the odd horde fear to the waiting alliance) then run back. It's sometimes hard to survive when you have over half a dozen dots on you. Especially those fricken 1103 damage over 30 second ones. Totally bad feeling when you run out of healing potions an no one heals.... Unlike on the uther realm, where healers healing warriors is pretty rare.

The new ranking system rocks. I feel sorry for the horde in this regard. Mainly because on all realms, alliance outnumber horde and the honor kills rely's on actual kills. Killing civilians is ba too. Now quest givers etc have civilian in there tage. I can't wait for the patch to go live because I think it'll be total bedlem just to get the high ranks and then the great gear that is better and cheaper than the stuff on the AH, much easier to obtain.

Krash why are you going as a warrior again? Dont you find it boring yet?

Im having trouble finding the time to play =/
Lame, Im only level 52. Considering Ive owned the game since December. Although I still have <20 days /played time.

I was just wondering how successful have any of the WoW players here been in raiding MC. Has anybody actually killed the last boss, Ragnwhatever (10th boss), apparently no one anywhere has). The guilds on the Uther realm have gone all the way in, but have been unsuccessful in beating the last boss (don't even know if they've even got there). Some of them are really up themselves and I'd really like to hear that they aren't the first ones to do this ever. Comeon Blackrock players. Put them, mostly American, in their place.

BTW, Played my tauren warrior and he's now lvl 8. Walked all the way to ogrimmir, just to open a flight path. What a great city that place is. Saw some allience trying to start a fight with players atleast 20 lvl's below them. I really wish that there was a Rogue party ready to pounce. Anyways, what are the toon names some of you are using on Blackrock. Mine is Krashed (same as the lvl 60 human warrior I have on uther).

In regards to my lvl 60 warrior, He rules. Even though I have no valor gear yet (no time to do any runs). I've successfully beaten same lvl paladins in duels. Thanks to my little intimidate shout 8 sec stun script ;). It rules. They hate MS (50% less healing for 10 sec). Paladins that bandage are fricken hard to beat though. When you intimidate shout, if you don't attack the targeted player, they stay stunned for 8 seconds. Plenty of time for bandages (2000 in 8 sec). Rogues are my meat. I beat them 75% of the time. Good rogues can own me, especially those that keep me stunned for the whole fricken fight. But in Malee and their dodging (love 50% crit with overpower) they die quickly. Hunters that Malee suck, I totally own them. Hunters that play the range game own me. Mages suck. They beat me always (damn sheep), but I have come close to winning. Priests (especially shadow priests) are the hardest to beat. Still not success against good ones. Shammens. Let me say that when they put down the totems I suck at duelling them.

Anyways,
My intimidate shout stun script

/script CastSpellByName("Intimidating Shout()")
/target krashed

The timing has to be right though. I use a slow big hitting 2h sword and use the script straight after a hit. If I mistime it (lag) the stun won't work. Because there is a 1 sec delay in casting, I had to make a seperate script for bandaging.

my Bandage script

/target krashed
/script UseContainerItem(0,1)

With cosmos there is actually a delay command, so I could possibly put it all into one script, but buggered if I know what the command is (too lazy to find out).

My favourite script is simple but effective.

/yell HEAL ME PLEASE............HEAL ME..

well im 60 and have been for a few days now, got my lightforge belt from stratholme off of a trash mob on the baron side :P and today i just got my lightforge breastplate out of a 15man raid with 4 pallies >_>
so yeah, really happy bout that part. cant wait for the honor system to kick in... gonna be LOTS of pvp happening :D

what is the guild and faction everyone is on, considering making an alt just for a bit of somthing new...

right now im on Frostwolf : 60 paladin named Tarinarim :D

now i have to join uldum as alliance and make a character >_> be shelving my 60 pally on frostwolf. gonna miss my LF armor :S
gonna have to do that coz if im sittin in LG in another 3mths time, no point me being on another server now is there :O

it is a zergfest...

I find it really is just stupid now. Atm its not a very nice time to be lvl42... i cant go ANYWHERE without getting ganked so now im just doing SM over and over till i get to around 45 or so then ill get some people to drag me through some random instances.

Oh well, at least im able to gank in Stonetalon and Desolace! ha :D

There is absolutley no kidding that battle is endless, its amazing on frostwolf some days you get to feel the lag from that zone when your all the way up in the plaguelands, unreal :-O
another place ive been finding a good hotspot is the arathi highlands, refuge point on the alliance side, and that horde town, dunno what its called, i just bust in there with 50 other alliance and trash the place :D

we counterattacked the horde so hard there one night they actually ressed out back, outside the walls and made a portal to orgrimmar lol, all 30 of em bailed :D was one sweet victory, especially since i was 100 honor points richer!

damn i only made the rank of sargent. Well at least i got my cool anti fear/poly/charm trinket :) Shadow Priests are going to die !!!!!!!!!!

well, i joined uldum, and with the help of the LG crew im up to lvl 27 already, 5k from 28, making good haste even considering i go out on the weekends and have uni in the week!

i rolled a warrior this time, even tho i dont get free mount at 40 or those lovely shield and heal combo's, im enjoying the dual weild, the ranged weapons and just the sheer change in style of combat. killing stuff with haste is just a total godsend! i cant wait till 36 when i can get the quest for SM! :-D

The new honor system is pretty funky indeed. For my first week of play, I only got about 3500 cp's (about 500 hk from huge raid groups). Mostly got these from TM/SS raid, where the alliance are pretty damn dumb. The horde always bait, the alliance follow, the horde guard zerg us. Since TM/SS is the usual "bang the head against the wall" stuff, I raid alot in the barrens. I'm easily averaging over 1000cp's per day here. I've had some small 5 v 5 fights, which were pretty damn enjoyable. I actually only got 7 kills in one day there and a total of 500cp's from it. The crossroads is always alot of fun. The horde usually push us out. WEe regroup, some horde leave, we then mow over them from all directions. Then the Orgrimmar raid happens. The battles there are huge. The horde, with the help of the lvl 60 elites, usually push us back out. We've actually gotten to the leader (forgot his name), but he's pretty damn tough, totally demolishing us in a few seconds. The Drag sux, because it's a fricken bad bottleneck for us.

In the last couple of weeks, we even raided thunder bluff. Funniest and most enjoyable raid ever. I was getting chased by a number of horde, and a few were so dumb, they followed me off the edge and died with me. The honor syhstem is enjoyable... I can't wait to see if I can improve my standing of 181 and rank of sergeant.

hehe, all 30 of us used the one lift. It was damn hillerious. Good thing the game doesn't have player collision.

Anyways, my standing has dropped. I am now at 204.. doh. But my rank has improved slightly, to Master Sergeant.

i heard about that one, and yeah , apparently the shit hit the fan.
people from all servers have heard about it and holy shit, the blizzard forums for the last few days had run rampant with that scandle, unreal i tells ya!!
its amazing how a whole guild got a transfer like that :S i just wish i could get my sexay 60 pally in all his glory over to uldum. show echode his paladin sux :D

Don't you just love when this happens in wow.



Loot lag sux....

last edited by KrasH at 09:18:00 09/May/05

It's funny cuz it's true >_<

Is the lag still bad on blackrock? I moved to daggerspine, and you still get it at peak times -- mornings cuz of the time difference between here and US.

might have been the issue...
musta been msn whoring bandwidth again >_< honest!

I'm a fag.

I bought gold again.

I have a problem!! :(



Nah, it was $19 for 100 gold this time. I realised I still had some money in my paypal account from something I sold on ebay a while ago, and spent it in a rush of blood to the head. Oh well :)

30 mins for 10 gold = 300 mins for 100 gold = 5 HOURS to make 100 gold

$19 for 100 gold = a whole lot less than 5 hours of work

Maybe I just don't understand the whole "working harder to make money in a game than I do in real life" thing.

well basically if people were always buying money it would pretty much ruin the econemy because EVERYONE would have loads of money.

People who were just starting would if anything be forced to buy money because things that used to cost 1g now cost 50g.

I just think its a unfair advantage for those who play the game properly and spend time actually EARNING the money only to be out bid on an item by some fag who just paid real money for gold.

Diablo you really need to get out more man... havent talked to you in a while but it seems you should spend your money on something real...

I'm not too worried, blizzard always bans accounts that they find doing this (as it is agains their EULA) and if more people started to do it then more people would find themselves being banned. I sure as hell ain't risking getting my account banned after the ammount of time I've put into them, and really if you want gold in the game just take up mining and skinning. You'll be loaded in no time.

so this guy plays CS all day and then tells someone that they should spend their money/time on something real.

ho ho ho.

ahhh diablo 2 :) i always wanted arch angel gabriels sword :O it looked so kewl

hit lvl 60, get all your endgame gear then go grind 900 gold in the fields :S makes the whole purchase thing actually look attractive! tho, i dont ever plan to, it still makes it kinda look pretty..

yeah i made loads of gold in Cath... i was thinking of trying to do the Lib by myself to see how much monies i can get.

lol, I just spent my 100g on Lord Alexander's Battle Axe. Pretty good deal, IMHO. :P

And yeah, I know I shouldn't buy gold -- it ruins it for everyone, blah, blah, blah. But I'm sick of being the perpetual lowbie in my guild because I don't play as much as everyone else, so I'm happy to pay cash if it'll help me catch up.

:O those things are soooo not cheap :S arcanite alone is over 40g a bar! :S

phwoar noyce, id be happy with that

Battlegrounds came out today. Alterac mountains wasn't working, but Warsong gulch was a lot of fun. My poor lvl 51 self got hammered by the 60s, but I was still somewhat useful to the group. It would be a helluva lot easier with voicechat though. Nothing worse than when everyone is just trying to do his own thing.

last edited by Diablo at 14:22:34 08/Jun/05

Vux i dont purchase gold either, but sometimes its still nice to look at the comfy road to victory, even if you dont take it :P

Warsong rocks. haven't lost a game yet as alliance. The interesting thing i've found is that priests see to make great flag carriers, after druids that is :)

cant druids travel form ftw?

btw that video features 2 of the top 5 ranked alliance PVPers on blackrock

as well as my whole guild's "A team" - squattingcow, a few other canberra guys and a dirty canadian

I sort of agree..

With the BG you do notice who the n00bs are.

The problem on our realm is that the alliance greatly outnumber the horde and the waiting queue's, even in Warsong can be over an hour sometimes.

In regards to who is better. In AV it seeems the alliance seriously dominate even when the numbers are the same. But then when the horde see the alliance winning, some start to leave.

In Warsong it's a whole different story. The alliance do well there. Most alliance groups are pickup groups and when it's pickup vs pickup the alliance usually wins. But then, you get the premier horde guild on our realm, Spite. They were undeafeted until a day or so ago. They steam rolled any pickup group. I was on the loosing end of some off their fighting and when I see their members in the teeam list, we usually just defend and try and farm as many cp's as possible. The first game against them was over in 5 minutes.. next game lasted over an hour, but we still got hammered 3-0. Their winning streak stopped when they came up against the alliance guild Reign, who have the top 5 ranked alliance players. If only ascendence go against them, I think they'df pawn them. But unfortunatly, some ascendence members are apparently members of spite aswell.. BTW, ascendence are the only guild to take down Ragnaros on our realm. The better gamees I play, usually happen when there is an ascendence member or 2.

Now a little more observations. It seeems that the alliance are getting better in pickup groups. It also seems that the alliance that are playing at the times I play (evening our time, early morning server time) are actually better players than most. I tried playing at the server peak time on the weekend, and some of the pickups were damn crap. So much so, I just walked straight out of the BG and logged. But when you get an organised group it's alot of fun. For me personally, prefer playing a defensive role. It seems to be rather good for farming some cp's. The other day I only had time to get 64hk's, but from that I got over 6,000 cp's ;) not bad for 2 games ;). Anyways, I look forward to seeing my rank tomorrow. I hope I'm in the top 200 again atleast and I hope I get a better rank than lowly knight.

Just watched the video. Bloody good stuff. But from what I saw, the alliance on blackrock must be pretty damn crap. It';s damn easy to slow down anything, but they hardly slowed you down at all. I then decided to read a little wow blackrock forum stuff and it pretty much confirmed that there are alot of crappy alliance there. Is it true that alliance hasn't won AV on there yet? As I said in the other, on uther alliance dominate in AV. In Warsong Gulch it's a bit towards the horde side, but alliance do win. I've been on winning pickup groups so yeah, the alliance have won.

good stuff.

well considering Tom has pretty much all whoop arse items he ends up with crazy amounts of health.

I've managed to take down a fair few people who have been a couple levels above me and then i get other which just fuck you up straight away... its about 50/50 for the good/bad ratio on alliance and horde.

/leave

i usually quit the general chat stuff... there is nothing important on there.

lol... SO many people have over 1000g on BR its not funny. Most of the main guys in Indoor Kids have crap loads of cash from all the MC runs n shit they do.

well stop dieing then :P

*dying*

holy crip echode you hax mc or whut!!
im goin 11am in the morning to MC, outta be fun, thank god uni is over this semester...

Molten Core. Under level 60s need not apply.

Just did MC for the first time on sunday. Quite fun, damn druids and warlocks had all the luck though. Two pieces of the cenarion and felhunter sets dropped (3 of those were off trash mobs too).

heh yeh lots of druid shit drops in MC

heres some leaked patch notes for u
http://yamum.kicks-ass.net/notes.htm

chaning look of cenarion ! im 6/8 and 1/8 (stormrage) so ill be lookin swanky next patch ^^

http://img182.echo.cx/my.php?image=stormragefront7qe.jpg

Hmm, looks like warriors get a major change in 1.6.0

Hopefully our successive-level abilities will be improved: eg spending the 5 gold to upgrade mocking blow from level 2 to level 3 results in it doing an extra 20 damage. Whoop dee fuckin doo. Same with intercept, pummel, and a couple others -- just a bit of extra damage, and no useful improvement.

But I'm just whingeing :P

Now that my exams are finished, I'll be able to get up to 60 and get my Battleground on :D Shame that pallies still own warriors in pvp >_<

yeah gotta say when Camp Taurajo sucked arse when i was doing it. Took SO long running around the bloody barrens >_<

*shrug* i dont see many problems with hunters. The only thing that still pisses me off is that my stable is STILL fucked.

I still somehow have 3 pets in there even though i've only got 2 slots for them and 2 of the pets are some random cats that i never actually tamed.

Then sometimes you try and swap your pet for one in there and you lose both your pets! So then i have to log out, log in, try resing my pet, if that doesn't work try pulling a different one out, and then put it back in... *sigh*

The next patch will appareently "improve" the Warrrior talent tree. We apparently get all our talent points back, which will then allow us to respec for free. Wii certainly be interesting.

Less than 100k xp till I hit lvl 60. Then I reckon I'll do some UBRS/BRD runs to get some better gear, then it's off to Alterac to wtfpwn some people!! :D

Heh, I only just got this game and it kicks ass. I run around /flirt ing and telling jokes. :)

Heh, as soon as i hit lvl51 i started going into AV. I ended up on the top half of the score board just by sitting back shooting multishot at everyone. Show'd dem lvl60 n00bs hahah :)

In our realm, the top ranked horde is a warrior. On alliance the top is a mage, 2nd is a warrior and 5th is a warrior.. the other 2 spots in the top 5 are rogues I think.

human perception is pretty good for detecting rogues. It's why I can mostly pwn them (except for the good ones who stay behind you in stealth). Unfortunate that very few humans use the ability effectively :(

Heh, go my pally armour >_< Hoping to get Ornate Adamantium Breastplate this week tho.

What mod were you running krash

Just an updfate on my WoW progress. I have switched sides perminently. I am now concentrating on my Tauren druid. I've sold anything of value my Human warrior had (quite a few arcanite bars) and in the process of transfering the funds over to horde side for the druid. Druids at lvl 38 at the moment. Lvl 60 should be achieveable in 6-8 weeks with the hours I play. BTW, the druid is lvl 38 after 8 full days of gameplay. Pretty good concidering I PVP with him quite alot.

Anyways,

For the horde

So what's this I hear about a plague...

Hakkar's SARS.

Could it be the end of this thread?

The end of Civilisation as we know it...?

yeah i was standing in org and i started dieing... i didn't know wtf.

People were dismissing their pets then going to org and getting them back. Then someone ran it all the way to IF and everyone there died to. Hilarious.

i watched that stuff happen, was sooooo goddamn funny! watching the major cities just drop dead was so worth it

http://img380.imageshack.us/my.php?image=razerdown9rr.jpg

a nice shot of our latest achievement

pft indoor kids just trade wins in WSG

hehe you probably missed the joke in my post. IK has been trading wins with my guild (No Maam) recently :p I've almost made friendly with WSN as a result.

oh right lol mike :P

Yeah, its pretty awesome playing with a decent guild, though i hate how we join a game of AB, and the alliance litterly just start dropping as soon as they see its all IK. :(

Its happened to me a few times though, i join a game and because its a full alliance team like HS and nomaam every one on horde drops and im the only one running at a point >_<

lol, started a night elf hunter on the same realm. see you in the BG

Oldmanhunter - lvl 7 Night Elf Hunter.

I've actually moved to frostmounre now. Have a lvl 10 Orc Rogue there called krash. Mainly moved because alot of the Aussies I knew on Uther, moved to Frostmourne.

frostmourne all teh way :D

Farkin waste of time if you ask me. RPG games are ALL gay. For homos who aren't happy with their real life, they have to create a fake one...

:-P
