    I mean vanilla+bc is what? 20-30? wotlk is STILL 40. then cata is 40 too.

    That's... rediculous.


    Oh trial account where you can't do half the cool things because of goldfarmers.

    There was a box set of Vanilla-TBC-Wrath at work for $50 a few weeks ago I went a looked yesterday and all they had were the $20 vanilla-tbc ones


    Compared it to sims I got sims medieval a few weeks ago and was curious about sims 3 I really did not know it had that many editions to it

    Yeah but the Sims doesn't have a recurring fee attached to it. So EA makes all their money off the box sales. Blizzard does not.

    super happy I don't raid on tuesdays anymore

    is there actually any patch data to download this morning, or would it have been finished a while ago?

    I'm not getting a patch prompt when I try to log in, and I'm pretty sure I hadn't downloaded the patch previously.

    and it's going to be a large patch too, what with the Firelands textures and all

    The last pull of Heroic Maloriak will haunt me all this expansion now. Last chance for my team to get 5/13 (somehow that means I respect myself more?) and I fucked it all up! SHIIIIIIIT

    Had an awesome attempt, everything was going great. All adds dead before second green Phase ended as Maloriak is hitting 26%. We push, and I get against the wall to dodge the Magma Jets. I dodge the First one, but as I do I remember that the Arcane Mage prolly has slow on him and it's going to mess up his cast (which is fucking bullshit by the way). So I kind of freak out and lose focus a little bit, the second one hits me and launches me in the air. I recover with a Last Stand + Regen and charge back down... and then.. and then I couldn't fucking see anything, my camera got stuck in the wall. And then I died. He had 2 Million health left. We had it, we HAD ITTTTT! AAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHH


    Fights like that are tough. Nef, Maloriak, Ascendent Council, [Chimaeron to an extent]. Where I, the MT, have a very important thing to do in the last part of the fight. Getting to the last part on Heroic mode is hard itself, and then everyone is pumped wanting that kill and I have this pressure to learn what to do in seconds or let down the entire raid from my failure. And that is what it felt like last night. Finally get to the Burn Phase, and everyone is doing fucking awesome and I get killed almost instantly because I was thinking about too much shit and not focusing on just getting out of the way.

    That sucks man. That happened to us the last time we tried him although we had him on farm. Although I wasnt the only one making mistakes. On our last attempt on him I had the jets going perfectly when a healer decided to be in front of him and lay a blue orb right in my kite patch.... boom i get pushed into the fire i jet out and promptly die and so does the raid.

    Last night when leveling my priest, in regular Vortex Pinnacle

    Mage: *Sheeps Skull*
    Everyone: *ignores this and DPS' skull*
    Bear: "Don't sheap skull, sheep moon." *marks Moon on next pull*
    Mage: "What's a moon"

    This reminds me of a wonderful throwback, when talking about positioning in Karazhan for Maiden of Virtue:

    Paladin: "What's a pillar?"

    I find it kind of sad that it seems they tuned the Bear run to match up with people either at/near heroic raid gear, or regular raid gear with the 15% group buff.

    How ironic, considering the Bear run was tuned to that in TBC (I'd struggle to believe a 10 man group in Kara gear could do that speed run).

    As for raid nerfs; well Blizz are the only ones with the official figures, but I'd wager that alot less have made it through the raid content this time around than any of the raids that took place in WotLK and that these nerfs are an effort for more people to see the content.

    Oh, no I know how it was originally tuned. It's more that, I find it kinda silly that I have a better shot of rolling the dice and getting the bear with a group of PuG's than a group in almost full 359 gear on vent together actually coordinating everything. Just seems like a poorly implemented incentive.

    Then stick your head in Baradin Hold and let us know if Occul'thar is up! Normally the new PvP boss doesn't appear until a little after the patch due to the season start time, but given the shifting dates it might well be up this week.

    It's not really that hard to get a bear in a pre-formed five man group. I'd certainly take coordination/practice over four random people, especially since at least one of them is invariably terrible.

    In my experience, the single most important thing to bring to a bear run is a bloodlust of you don't absurdly outgear it. A mage is a great choice because they can spellsteal both the flamecaster's speed buff and the earthquake buff off the big guys. That last buff lasts for two minutes and can be used to great effect on the dragonhawk boss as well as the trash leading up to him.

    My guild made 13/13 last night by the skin of our teeth. Apparently the best strat for Sinestra is to do a huge number of attempts until the game finally gives you a pull where your best orb kiters are picked far more than usual.

    So I installed Warcraft 3 today and while playing the Orc intro where you raise the Horde as Thrall, I had a massive bout of nostalgia both for War3 during its heyday and WoW

    so I guess when my new computer arrives I'm gonna reinstall WoW and actually try Cataclysm, seeing as I bought it but never ended up playing it.

    Now that it's a "moving part," I'm sure we can expect bugs with it, too.

    4.2a: Fixed an issue where characters got moved into the 14th (unavailable) slot, preventing their selection.
    4.3: Fixed an issue where character order was being randomized.
    4.3a: Fixed an issue where shaman characters who have been moved couldn't be selected.

    Cataclysm is on sale on Amazon for $19.99.

    It's tempting, but there's nothing worthwhile for my current level (55), is there?

    I plan to get it eventually, but I'm still debating if it's worth getting now when I still have so many other areas to visit and levels to grind. If it turns out I can level up faster with this expansion, then it becomes more worthwhile.
