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!

He actually responded within like 120 seconds of me posting :lol: Sadly our raid schedule doesn't work for him. I was really hoping that we'd just get an instantaneous class upgrade from druid to paladin, but alas.
Thanks for pointing me at a prospect, though
They are going to have to overhaul the loot system and write a Mainspec > Offspec > Discenchant looting system. Make it so you can't switch Specs 20 seconds after combat, and you can't switch specs during loot rolls. Then Tag everything in the loot table, like how MMO-Champion does, with Tank, Melee, Range DPS, Caster and Healer. And then make everything Unique.
In the entirety of both of these tiers I have not seen one drop, not once. This is getting old.
I open the bag (without looting) and see that I got a Mechanopeep as well as a Reins of the Blue Drake. I ship that bag off to my Paladin who now has the last mount she can possibly get from the bags and put the peep up for around 3k.
(for a bit of history, I was one of the few tanks back in WotLK randoming and trying to get Occulus for a shot at the Blue Drake, but it was never in her bag at the end).
That's to say nothing of the kicking mechanics or the fact that they're placing the reins of coordination entirely within the hands of the players. Ripe for abuse indeed.
I guess we'll see how it goes, but my inner cynic's having a field day.
I'm assuming it's going to be like the Dungeon Finder NB4G, where if you can't actually use equip it or is a different armor type than yours you can't roll need unless no one else in the group can either.
Assuming tokens will work the same way. Still going to be a little messy.
COME FORTH, AMATERASU!
Honestly I find I need a lower-intensity period with WoW playing every so often, and am happy to take it when it comes. I play when I'm interested, and try not to force myself when I'm not.
I really hope we can find a tank quickly, as our raid was actually poised to chase server first heroic rag. That won't happen now (we would've had to get it down this Saturday), but it's just really annoying, as this is the THIRD TIME tank difficulties have reared their ugly head this expansion.
I agree. This is that kind of thing that might make me resub. Being able to just queue randomly for raid content whenever I feel like might be amazing.
"Orkses never lose a battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fightin so it don't count. If we runs for it we don't die neither, cos we can come back for annuver go, see!".
The raidfinder is the only reason I suspect I'll stay subbed past 4.3's 5 mans. I know it won't be nearly successful as a planned/organized pug (and of course, than any other "real" raid), but I love the idea of saying "wow, it's Wednesday night, this is a repeat, this work's done, she's asleep, I guess I have 3 hours to sit here and shoot lasers at dragons --- *clicks raid join button*). That idea makes me really happy.

When I started playing WoW, I was single, living at home, and no real responsibilities, so was quite able to lead and organise 40 man raids, but since then, I've gotten engaged, bought a house, don't have what I'd call a regular schedule in the evening.
I'm sure others are perfectly capable of organising things much better than I, but as others have said, the raid finder has the potential to be something really good for me.
Definately a great thing. I have pondered just straight up telling my Friends "Ugh, instead of leading raids 3 nights a week, I'm just gonna do LFR and be happy with lesser tiered gear."
3 nights a week isn't too bad, but every so often I get a call from a friend that doesn't play wanting to do something on the nights we raid. And then the other times where scheduling conflicts forces us to Raid handicapped. But 3 nights isn't too bad, and really this tier and the next tier are totally doable in 1 night with a good group. We are even looking at doing all Heroic Modes in 3 hours here in a week or two. Although we will be putting in those 2 extra days into Heroic Rag, but if we can get that fight down then BAM only raiding 1 night a week. yeeaa.
Zulroics get lumped into the Cata Launch heroics. 4.3 Heroics get their own Queue. There are no 4.3 normals. All of them reward 150 VP on completion for 7 times.

There will be some mechanics that people are just too stupid to understand (like the chains on Jindo) and will consistently die, but I bet it will still be easier than LFD Heroic Halls of Reflection was back in January 2010.
For anyone that uses Atlasloot: Since the update before last, I can't do the Alt-click an item into a different wish-list besides the default one. And I also can't choose the different wishlists for my characters from the wishlist menu anymore...if I click the wishlist button it just shows the current wishlist. I ahve to manually switch which is the default wishlist in the options menu to have any access to it at all.
This can't be the correct functioning but I don't see anyone else mentioning it in the Atlasloot thread on wowinterface.
So has anyone else ran into this? Is there a fix?

Oh God, don't remind me. I think there was one week that I got nothing but HoR for like 5 days in a row. The minimum ilvl was WAY undertuned for that dungeon. You needed ~Ulduar gear (well, the average PUG did) and they were letting people in with blues.
In other news my Shaman SÏhn scored her 4 piece healing bonus the other day when the shoulders token dropped off Domo...
Please... don't kill me
we finally got bethtilac down and figured what the hell, let's try alysrazor out
I think we killed it within like 10 attempts

Oh thank god. I was worried about having the Zulroic tier being it's own separate tier in 4.3 still, that would have been a bit odd.
Rightfully so in my opinion. I never did like the troll remakes. After 2 weeks of them I just said "Fuck this, I'll do normal heroics those are more interesting and fun."
I liked Occulus even after they changed it with a chance at the drake and reduced trash
(and it even could be bruteforced, just not by people in progression-level gear.)

As an aside, another tiny new feature is they added more controls to the model viewer. Now as well as roating you can zoom and pan, which affects both the dressing room and the transmogrification window.
