I mean I know WoW lore in most cases just blatantly rips off things, and in the case of Lovecraft, I understand this is kind of what he wanted
but seriously?
Q. What's happening at the Master's Glaive? The last time we saw it, it was mostly buried underground.
A. Twilight's Hammer cultists have recently begun to unearth the remains of Soggoth, one of the more powerful servants of the Old Gods, from beneath the Master's Glaive with the intent of bringing him back to life. Players will have to foil the cultists' plans before the new incarnation of Soggoth reaches full strength.
Writers cost money. Money you spend takes away from your profit. Profit loss means less money to spend on things like writers. Obviously the solution is to not hire writers and just "reference" already existing materials.
I don't know, Cthun and Soggoth are a lot closer than Yogg Saron. I'd say Cthun is more identifable because Cthulu is a more common known Lovecraftian entity as opposed to Shoggoth. You ask nerds who Cthulu and Shoggoth are you'll probably get more responses to Cthulu.
Wow, is there enough red underline Firefox?
bowen on
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

the red underline is just a warning to let you know you are approaching the mountains of madness
Man tonight's raid was productive as hell... 11/12 in three hours with no wipes. we have two full raid nights for LK to kick our asses this week
If your guild is like mine watch your attendance drop to 1/3 the usual level for those 2 nights.
Just tell them a mount drops off the guy, that can be sold for $azeroth.
Feel free to exclude the fact you need to be doing 25 man lich king with someone with shadowmourne.
Oh I'm sure there'll be a good group who "forgot" we raid on thursday and have to go. As long as it's better than last sunday where the raid broke up after an hour cause one of the officers bailed for a booty call and it's hard to pug someone for just sindy/lk apparently.
EDIT: Wasn't Shogoth the biggest bad of the lovecraftian big bads?
EDIT2: Now that i think about it wasn't that mid-level quest where you had to summon and kill that water god supposed to be Dagon?
Will this go away when tanking becomes 'harder' more than likely. I actually hope it does. In Cataclysm, I'll be very surprised if my guild does 25 mans at all. Of course that's entirely dependent upon how 'tuned' these instances are for 10's vs 25's.
The shared raid lockouts are going to be responsible for that, not the tanking changes.
The Zerg are the Tyranids. The other day I fought someone playing the zerg I rushed him with a ton of marines and typed out FOR THE EMPEROR! only to watch them cut down quickly

Well the tanking changes might answer some of this as well if our current tanks cannot sink their teeth into new rotations etc. I'd say its 50/50 our extra tanks being able to tank and the shared lockouts.

Fuck me. Trying to level a druid as balance, but it takes 20 minutes to get a group, which then falls apart because no-one seems to fucking know how to tank. At this rate I might as well just spec feral and tank this shit.
My druid is specced Balance but I queue as a healer to level. Might not work so well once I get up to the level where people expect me to be a tree, but it works well enough at my level.

Queue as a healer. No one should notice until you're about lv60.

As long as the tank is decent ( ), you shouldn't have any huge problems healing as balance til 80.

You'll level a lot faster both questing and in dungeons as feral.
You can quest as a kitty, then queue for dungeons and go bear form and you're good to go. Instant LFDs, here you come.
*As an added bonus, for most dungeons, as the tank you can just chain pull the crap out of the place, and have fun clearing out dungeons faster than if you were waiting for a more skittish tank.

That seemed to be the problem in the first place.
I probably should have mentioned I can't read. Either way, healing gets you groups faster, bad tanks or not. Putting the bad tanks on ignore means you won't ever see them again. Which can be good or bad.

FTFY
but seriously?
Shoggoth
They aren't even trying
edit: A sort of on-topic aside: I finally started reading my Lovecraft collection. It's really good stuff.
Cthun- Cthulu
Yogg Saron - Yog Sothoth
Soggoth- Shoggoth
they aren't even trying any more
but i still like lovecraft references so whatever
Wow, is there enough red underline Firefox?
Starting with WC: Orcs and Humans and Starcraft essentially copying a lot from the Warhammer universe.
the red underline is just a warning to let you know you are approaching the mountains of madness
But at their house, the eggs were just put in the middle of the floor, it really wasn't much of a hunt.

Well, now it's just not fun.
If your guild is like mine watch your attendance drop to 1/3 the usual level for those 2 nights.
Here's hoping I don't embarrass myself.

Or 25man LK on heroic. ;-)
Edit: Although, you wouldn't be able to sell that mount! But it's rare as hell!
And then they get all uppity when you point out that you are doing as much healing as the other three healers put together.
I may be projecting.
You must have comcast too.
Yeah!
^5!

Whoa, we aren't 12 anymore. We bro5 nowadays.

But they listen to Tim Gunn, and they make it work.

Ironzerg also has a good point.
