    The lightning is a chain lightning so ideally you're spread out enough when it lands that the priest won't have to be throwing down more than 1 or 2 gcds to get levitate back on the group

    Splinter factions, dissolve the new Horde! And the Alliance too, for that matter. Whatever tenuous reasons originally tied the Forsaken to the Orcs or separated the Night Elves and the Tauren should be forgotten in the face of the rampant stupidity shown by the new leadership.
    Well, what's keeping the Tauren and Night Elves apart now is "mutual hatred between Trolls and Night Elves that is literally older than the Dragon Aspects."

    Ok, so guild rep is in place to discourage guild hopping. Correct?

    So I should get in a decent guild as early as possible to avoid wasting time?

    Yes, but the only reason it matters that much is you get guild rep a lot faster while leveling.

    Rep doesn't factor into the regular guild perks though, just the guild achievements and the awards you can buy.

    the back and helms yes. Cloak requires Guild lvl 10 and guild rep honored. Helms require guild level 20 and I think guild rep also at honored. I may be wrong on that last part though.

    As I level, I am doing quite a few dungeons. Is there any tabard I should grab right now which will benefit me end game? Either useful things for my Paladin or just a mount (still have my old blue flying mount and wouldn't mind a dragon).

  • EndEnd Registered User regular
    All I can say is that Therazane is useful for everybody, since it has the shoulder enchants.

    But it has a lot of dailies, too, unlike some of the others. Unfortunately, you also can't get it until most of the way into Deepholme.

    If you're not to the point where you can buy the Cata faction tabards, I'd get a race faction tabard. Go for a mount, or get Org/Stormwind to exalted for cheaper services in the 'main' cities of the expansion.

    what level are you now? If you are in Cata content grabbing any of the tabards from the new factions will help. Anything pre Cata is not really useful. You can grab your faction tabards to work towards the achievement and being able to use their ground mounts.

    Got to cata on my rogue over the weekend, loving the new zones (did hyjal nashir deep holm and I'm not starting Uldum), did a couple instances (just black rock cavern and stone core), I think this is their best expansion. Only issue I had with anything is I couldn't finish the last quest in Vash, I guess its a random bug as there are people claiming its not bugged (why would you do this? its like implying those of us who have the bug are liars).

    Mmmm, it's not THAT much of a disadvantage, at least as far as guild levels go. A bunch of friends made a casual guild with maybe 15ish active players, they're not far at all behind us and we have 100+ active folks. We cap out our guild exp about an hour after reset vs them taking most of the day sometimes.

    The other achievements would be a huge pain to get though; I guess you may want to find a bigger guild if you really NEED an Armadillo pet.

    I thought for sure the new Warchief would be a Basic Campfire. I mean, everything the campfire does is infinitely better than Garrosh. Everyone loves the Basic Campfire, whereas no one likes Garrosh. Everyone can use the Basic Campfire, whereas no one can use Garrosh - nor would anyone if they could. And Basic Campfire raises everyone's Spirits! What does Garrosh do? Uh. Try and get everyone killed? Yeah, I think it's clear to see which of the two is better here.

    Feeling lonely? Call up your Warchief friend, the Basic Campfire. He'll keep you company, and won't stupidly throw you off a cliff for doing something that he should have been doing in the first place, like keeping an eye on his generals...

    Abandon the quest, it'll take you right out of the sub (this works as a horde I don't know if the alliance quest is the same way).

    Its the only end zone quest I couldn't do, at least I got the achievement for vash.

  • EndEnd Registered User regular
    oh that bug?

    I might not have had that exact same bug, but it did bug out on me where it didn't give me credit for boarding the sub (despite getting the credit for the other criteria that would have been hard to do without boarding the sub). Had to drop the quest and try again.

  • PreacherPreacher Registered User regular
    Well for me I see the cutscene, I can see the NPC's talking briefly and then they disappear and I get a breath meter. It happens everytime no matter the time of day. I hear my only chance is to snag the quest immediately after a server restart.

  • EndEnd Registered User regular
    Well, that's different from my bug.

    And now that I think about it, my bug is earlier in the quest chains, and I know exactly where your bug is I think.

    But I dunno. That sucks man.

    Its ok every other quest and end zone thing has worked and I know most of the story. So not a huge loss.

    That being said I loved Vash as a zone, its got a different tone from Hyjal and the underwater stuff was really fun, lots of "Whoa, awesome whoa" playing Hyjal after was cool but it felt regular compared to the wonder of Vash.

    Deepholm was also very cool, especially for someone who played LOTRO and did mines of moria, blizzard is a lot better at level design then the LOTRO team and Deepholm shows it.

    So has anyone tried a 360 controller with WoW? I know it's no where near as optimal for instancing etc, but I'm thinking of leveling or grinding where the biggest challenge is avoiding carpel tunnel, and would be far more confortable on a controller than a keyboard.

    You guys don't have a circle of portals to access cata zones from? The horde does with their earthen ring rep, though I still have no idea how to normally leave vash aside from hearthing.

    Take a seahorse to "Sandy Beach" there is a flight master that'll fly you to UC for Horde, probably SW for Alliance.

    Or swim to the surface, with a 280% flyer you can make the coast with fatigue to spare.

    Wot. Whose idea was it to make the dungeons in southern Tol Barad close the gates when there's 15 minutes left to TB?

    It's not like the defenders need time to run around and set up defenses.

    I got stuck inside a dungeon and had to hearth.

  • The Dude With HerpesThe Dude With Herpes Registered User regular
    you can just jump off the ledge near the bridge. the northern island bases are a relatively short swim away and saves you a hearth. Faster if you can water walk via some manner.

    Alternately drop 40 tokens for the tabard that will take you straight to the port-in base so you can get out easily.

    You only have to do the first several quests inside of uldum to unlock the portal. You might need to do the heroes/warchiefs call quest too, the kidnapping, and it should give you the uldum portal. But there's no portal back. Not a big deal for Horde, but really annoying for Alliance.

    As far as TH goes, you have to do the initial quest chain in the zone up to the point where you collect the silt from the elementals in the riverbed that unlocks the portal. It will then work both ways; which is really nice particularly if you're a crafter.

    Yeah I could see how it would be obnoxious to get back from Uldum as an ally. Though I long ago set my hearth to Org and see no reason to change that as thats where the fishing/cooking dailys are, plus the portals to cata.
