Old wow chat thread. go find the new one.

Dac

No, I wasn't aware.

Why? Is that something I should care about?

Decompy is trying to tell you that you're not helping her drinking problem.

ToddJewell

I tell my healers to swap dps for the horseman ... I take maybe 100k damage and I have well over that -- if need be I could heal myself.

Yeah I just queue as healer and go elemental. Top DPS and never have to heal anyone.

Maybe Queen Azshara is a Pandaren :shock:

Pandaren are actually the big baddie behind everything.

tarnok

Calling it now: Pandaren are servants of an old god whose purpose is to drive people into an insane rage and their power is so far reaching that it even affects people in the real world.

naengwen

What, that wasn't obvious? C'mon, gimme a real plot twist.

Servant of an Old God, I'm sure. I mean, really, which gods in Azeroth aren't old?

New Class: Old God

Dibby

Super Secret Amazing "What a Twist" Spoilers: Thrall is a Pandaren, working for the Pandaren Old Gods.

naengwen

The real twist is that they're apparently revamping talent trees again.

Ed: all right, so it's about as much a twist as Ganon being the villain in a Zelda game. Still, it's news!

reVerse

I hope they do something really radical with the talent trees. The current ones are kind of boring.

Dibby

I wouldn't jump the gun just yet and say it's a revamp. All it says is "new talent tree system". Could mean anything really. Guess we'll find out in a few hours.

EDIT: Agree with reVerse though, I do want to see something radical. I unno, maybe like... PvE/PvP split of trees?! Haha, yeah right. ):

Kevin Crist

I remember them saying they had the idea of letting players put the remaining ten points anywhere in the other two trees after the player gets the 31st talent in one tree. That's all I heard about talent tree changes a while ago.

Make Demonology a tank tree! you know you wanna, blizz.

naengwen

Or maybe they're gonna try Path of the Titans again. It'd fit a more literal interpretation of that sentence.

Cept the new part.

reVerse

I'd like it if all the current dps only classes got one of their trees changed into a tanking or healing tree. I'd play a healing mage in a heartbeat, burning away ailments with cleansing flame and protecting allies with frozen shields.

Riokenn

I don't know why but hearing 5.0 is making my head do spins.

Doctor Detroit

Maybe they'll go with the SC2 system...choose between 2 different options each time

Halfmex

Ahaha oh my god

WoW annual pass

Sign up for a year of WoW, get:

-Diablo 3 free
-Guaranteed next WoW xpac beta access
-Tyrael's Charger mount

Nice way to lock in subscribers

815165

Fuck it, depending on what they announce this weekend I'm probably down with that.

Naphtali

wow

I don't know what to make of that offer

its something alright

naengwen

And for your eternal soul a 12 month subscription to WoW, get Diablo 3 free!

Doctor Detroit

Well, there goes my interest in the D3 CE...

SightTDW

Oh, what the hell. That annual pass is tempting. I've pretty much sworn off of WoW (or so I thought), but free Diablo 3 taken into account its a third off for the entire year.

Riokenn

I'd do that if they mailed me the D3 CE. Im a sucker for those kinda of things.

reVerse

New expansion!

... in a little bit.

Fuck you, Metzen.

ToddJewell

diablo 3 -- when it's done. ha

reVerse

So apparently you can bill the yearly subscription once a month?

Sold.

Halfmex

I'm going with the D3 CE, so locking me into a yearlong WoW sub is going to depend on what this expansion will bring.

Naphtali

I'd imagine the codes for the D3 CE stuff will probably be separate from the game, so you could theoretically get the CE and do the WoW sub, and give/sell the copy of the game from the CE to somebody else

At least I hope so

Halfmex

That's a good point, I hadn't considered that.
