Did they change the levels of the mobs in Stratholme for Cata? Is the timed run still in or is Ysida no longer in there?
I don't recall having heard anything about the tier 0.5 chain being removed, which suggests that 45-min Strat still exists in some form. Given Strat's now lower-level, perhaps they expect you to solo it at the level you'd be for the 0.5 stuff.
(I'm hoping they don't remove 0.5 simply because I'm going to be using gaps in raiding to work on the Sceptre chain, it'd be a lot of work if I were to also attempt to pick up the 0.5 chain in the time available. I was hunting ogres in Dire Maul, I think)

The length of time it takes is directly related to how long the game feels like taking to spawn the skeleton swarm and the champions after Ramstein. If it does it fast, sure, 5 minutes, but it usually just sits there with its thumb up your ass forever.
With the adrenaline rush glyph being the norm, plus the buff to it, rogues are pretty godly for heroic bosses, since its uptime is in the order of 80-100%.

Well
Randomly decide to run HH on a char a never play much and get the mount AND the pet.
Does anyone remember what average raider DPS was in the days of level 60 raiding? I was only healing back then, so I never watched those meters at the time.

I keep wanting to remember that too, but I was also a healer >_<
I think maybe mods that kept track of DPS weren't around much back then. But I'd have to guess it was less than a few hundred dps.
So am I the only one who is constantly being DCed when I zone in to fight the holiday boss? Like, the entire game freezes right when I teleport in, and by the time I come back, the fight is over.
I feel kinda bad because I queue up as tank for it >.<

Hey wow thread, I have an assignment for you. I have been completely unable to find this on my own.
I need a map of the original alterac valley. The original alterac valley. Back when Korrak was a spawn in the center, the syndicate sold you information, and escorting the goblin away from the gnolls got you a chance to build a giant shredder (if you gave him hundreds of gold worth of building materials first)

Man, I don't remember gnolls or the syndicate, though I vaguely remember the shredder. I also remember clearing out the Alliance airfield to rescue your horde bomber dude, and carrying some sort of eye of seeing thing. Can't remember what any of that shit did though.

Figured I might as well post this, but someone I ran with today had another 'solution' to the freezing when mousing over the pumpkin problem. It sounds stupid, I'll admit, but I successfully did it twice.
He said you just stand close to the pumpkin (without mousing over it accidentally), and stand there for about 10 seconds. Then you can use the pumpkin normally even with tooltips on.
Like I said, sounds weird, but it worked for me twice afterwards.

That's the first AV map made public by Blizzard, so I hope it's original enough.
So I'm pounding through all of the low level quests I can find to get them out of the way before the Cataclysm. I figured, hey, Thousand Needles is going to flood, I better get that little creep Steelsnap! etc etc.
Looking back with what we know now and how things turn out, a lot of them are pretty awesome. Simple things like Arikara in Thousand Needles..
Magatha Grimtotem calls it the spirit of vengeance that goes after people who are doing the wrong things and says it's after Cairne Bloodhoof. I had best kill it!
You whack it and when you go to report in to another, he's mystified. "Cairne? Why would it be after Cairne? Ah, well, Magatha is one of our most powerful shaman, so she can't be wrong." etc.
In reality, of course, it's after Magatha (you even kill it on Grimtotem lands), but back then?
It's....nice.

Holy fuckbaskets, I just got the HH mount! On my main, no less. Goddamn I'm a happy pappy right now.
Well your at least safe in your own factions zones up until about level 20 or so when you hit the contested territories. So for the first bit you'd be okay.

Yeah, I definitely played AV right when it came out, but I can't recall those things, basically just Korrak and the Ancient and giant ice elemental.

The fight lasted 12 seconds.
I think I auto-attacked twice, after hitting Bloodlust. :P

I almost thought it was a new temporary mount...
Of course, first 25 shards need to drop for our Fury warrior who's getting the next one. But then their all mine!
Some guy was spamming Trade Chat, selling X-53 Rocket Mount and a Month of game time for 10k gold.
I'm like "Might be a scam somehow, but fuck I'll give it a try".
And yeah, wasn't a scam. The guy gave me his email, I RAFed him. Mount showed up a minute later.
10k gold for a free month of game time and a mount. Good night.
I did a heroic with a hunter doing 600 dps.

I don't know the cause or a solution =\
Yup. It's a bug.
Cause and solution are in this very thread. But it's a big thread.
You need to disable tooltips. mousing over the pumpkin, it is right in front of you when you zone in, is what is causing the crash.
There is a macro you can make:
Turn Off Tooltips
/script GameTooltip.Temphide = function() GameTooltip:Hide() end; GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Temphide);
Turn On Tooltips
/script GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Show)
There is an add-on that automates disabling one line tool tips for you:
CogFix at Curse.

Nope. They'll get fixed in a later patch. You don't need Cata for those.

The really good warriors and rogues in my mc/ony/bwl guild would hit around 300. I think when I started MC our god dps would push a little over 200.

Both Spell Projectiles and Cogwheels now work properly.
"The last of the EQ players on our staff have moved on to work with Sony."
Otherwise, I have no idea what it could be, which is kinda fun too!
Rolling a new character on a pvp server come Cata seems like a terrible idea. Flying mounts in the old world + people actually in the old world.
Has there been any inklings of trying to mitigate that?
Yeah, I definitely played AV right when it came out, but I can't recall those things, basically just Korrak and the Ancient and giant ice elemental.
They should add a feature that when killing an honorless target will have a 3% chance of causing an opposing faction leader to port in and attack you.
