Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Hates, Happies, Hopes and Horses

Hate: I get put on standby, but the two other paladin offtanks in the raid that I outgear are still confirmed.
Happy: At least being April Fools Day, I had a good reason besides my own pissed off vengeance to fill the entire guild bank with wool cloth.
Hope: it takes the raid leader, guild leader, and guild officer I mailed the contents of the bank to, at least half the time to put everything back as it took for me to fill the whole thing with wool.
Happy: Dreamwalker is easy, lol.
Happy: after 2 attempts on sindragosa we got her to phase 3 (20% to boot before someone messes up). Though phase3 is like the other two phases on crack.
Hilarious: watching the dps burn the ice tombs right after the third frost bolt.
Weird happy: We found out that the original team had tried to sabotage us by taking all the rest of the good people for the third team because one of the officers doesn't want us beating him to the LK. As it stands, we'll probably get him first.
A week later we start a third ICC team with alts and some mains that didn't make the cut. Great, awesome. The third ICC team got as far as we did and almost further. This had us going WTF. So we started cutting down on our lazy dps as it became clear we weren't beating soft/hard enrages properly. This works, we get rotface down but it turns out that it just wasn't enough. We had that hunter and druid go from 2300 dps to 4000 dps, but that's still really bad for ICC. We give them an ultimatum, read up on your classes and fix your issues or get removed from raid.
Well, we had to remove them. The third team collapses. Not because of anything bad, but, because the officer is pissed that those two people got shifted to the weekend team and we took two good dps from them. Next week, we get putricide down on our first raid night that week. According to our "spy" he stopped talking in vent and dropped. He was incredibly pissed that we downed putricide. Cue to us getting both the blood council and BQL down, and he isn't even showing up for their raids anymore. He signed off last night before we healed dreamwalker and got sindragosa to 20%.
He's also stopped showing up on time to 25 mans, and after deathwhisper he stealths right to the boat and waits for us to get there. Then he plays bejeweled when he dies or has to wait.
How was this different than before?
Yes, but it is made up for when you kill 4 people on the other team with one howling blast. Once I started to approach 1K resilience it is like I became death.
Battlegrounds have always been like that. Anyone can get in, and that usually means undergeared people. If you were to compare PvP to PvE, BGs would be heroics and Arena would be raiding.
My wwwyzzerdd Andy!
To be fair, when I used to do battlegrounds (I've pretty much stopped at this point, Nightfall horde is in a pretty bad way), the only ones who'd try to actually complete objectives were the guys in greens and blues.
The guys in full pvp gear with 900+ resilience? Yeah, those are the guys farming mid and fighting on roads.
We've been doing ok recently.
Don't you get bonus honor for standing close to objectives now even if you don't personally kill anyone? I stood near the black smith flag during a battle, didn't touch anyone and came out near the top for HKs.
Huh, I may give it a try again. Does Horde still try to do the Alterac Blitz (and fail) every match?
I'm sorry, I couldn't resist!
You get that buff anywhere you try to defend a flag
For the most part it's nice or a light for moths I have no figured out which it is.
A real hate is I bought the pvp gear and do far more damage than that crappy tier 9 set
So close to getting the tier 10 only weeks away. In the april fools from yesterday I did ninja the tier 8 gloves and cheese my way to epic
OK, you may want to try everything but AV. Never ever ever go back into AV.
The talent Brain Freeze should no longer to be triggered by casting the spell Frostfire Bolt.
Scourgelord Tyrannus should no longer remount Rimefang during the encounter.
Revenge can now only be used once for each time it activates.
The damage buff the generals in Alterac Valley receive from the tower guards has been increased.
03/26
The Endless Healing Potion is no longer usable in arenas as intended.
Warlock’s using a lower rank of Life Tap will receive a reduced benefit from their shadow spell power.
The damage done by the cannons in the gunship encounter in Icecrown Citadel has been increased and the rate at which their heat decays has been reduced.
In Alterac Valley, the buffs that the Generals get from the Warmasters and Marshals now grant them negative enemy dodge. This means they will now ignore some of their target's total dodge percentage. The base health of the Generals has been increased and the buff also grants a slightly increased amount of damage and health.
The cheese items in Dalaran as well as the Kvaldir Berserkers in Icecrown will once again respawn at a faster rate.
The window that comes up when talking to an NPC should no longer close on its own.
Some changes to the battleground queuing system have been made to improve performance and group queuing.
The timer for when the next battle in Wintergrasp will occur should no long disappear.
They've been buffed twice in a week.
Is this something very new? Because it was working as of last time I played AV, last week.
That's awesome. I wish I had thought of something like that before I bailed on my last guild for pulling the exact same shit.
I think they definitely addressed it in Tuesday's patch.

Anyway,
Hate: Got Putricide to 100k health before everyone died
Hope: Get him next time
Putricide is actually a pretty good fight, I like P3 the best, trying to kill him before the room fills with goo is a good feeling of pushing for the win.
SE Minecraft Fishing ( Wiki | Treasure Hunt )
Hahaha, I did have to comment on this. I was fishing in Wintergrasp for my daily, had a dwarf ret pally land next to me and start going off on me. I leisurely got my bag open, putzed around finding my sword and shield, and put them on. By this point I was getting pretty low because he had utterly blown his load on me.
So I popped Lay on Hands and started fighting him. Before I knew it, he started running around the shore from me... and I realized he was almost dead. I finished him off and went back to fishing.
Seriously? Seriously. Why, why would you do that to someone who is fishing. And why wouldn't you check their HP first? Don't fuck with fishing tanks.
You totally got them 10 minutes ago.
One of them, unfortunately, was me. Having the off-tank disconnect 20 seconds into Festergut is bad.
EDIT: I should have mentioned that most of the DCs were on Blood Queen, where one person lagging/DCing can do some substantial damage. Good news is that we got Blood Princes down this week by using the two tank method someone mentioned in the last 4H thread. Thanks guys!

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. I don't harass anyone I find fishing, because there is nothing I could do to them which is worse than what they're already doing to themselves.
My wwwyzzerdd Andy!
Hate: SUNKEN TEMPLE NEVER AGAIN. I'm just going to not queue for random groups until I'm outside ST's level range to ensure that I don't have to do that again. Two players ragequit due to getting lost, one of their replacements started with the group, then ran away from us and got immediately lost on the top floor (how, I'm not sure), and spent most of the instance trying to convince us to let him leap to his death through the hole in the floor.
Argh that's the only thing I need for my TF. I should probably focus on the mace to keep my mind off of it.
Now to date I've lost the Tyrannical Beheader to a enhance shammy, a hunter, a prot warrior and just now a Holy Pally.
As my DPS Dk no less...
If it makes you feel any [strike]better[/strike] worse, I had to shard a Beheader last night since everyone in my group either already had it or couldn't use it.
