New EU Realm - Blade's Edge

The basics
Realm name: Blade's Edge
Language: English
Realm type: Normal (PvE)
Battlegroup: Ruin
Migration: No

Today we're opening a new English Normal/PvE realm, named Blade's Edge, in the Ruin Battlegroup. This is a fresh realm, thus no migration will be allowed to the realm during the first months, and the Ahn'Qiraj gates are closed.
The realm will open this afternoon / evening, after 17:00 Paris time (CEST).
Please note that the starting areas may be quite flooded in the beginning, and the population cap is intentionally set a bit lower than normal to not have them even more flooded. The cap will be raised over the coming days as the population spreads out more.
So considering a giving it a shot, I missed the opening of WoW and the opening of TBC (too low level at the time) so this could be pretty fun.
Any Euro's fancy it?
edit: I might finally get to see the AQ gates opening!
...Honestly, why would anyone bother opening the AQ gates? Unless you need to in order to activate the expansion or something.

I went into Black Morass for the first time a few days ago, and we failed during the 11th 12th and 13th waves. 70 Protection Paladin, 70 Priest, 70 Hunter and then Mage, 68 Balance druid, 68 Shadow Priest.
Am I wrong for thinking that the Paladin could have tanked the Rift Lords and the Trash from Each Rift?
I think you need to have someone pulling the adds off of the main tank. It can be very difficult for a tank to take that kind of a beating with only a level 68 healer. You will find more success by having a healer who is spec'd resto/holy and by having atleast 1 of the dps kite/kill the adds while the main mob on each wave is being killed. You have a hunter, put him to good use :winky:
I've always found the stress of BM is on the healer. You have to know how much you can drink inbetween waves and who bomb heal in certain situations.
Fathom Lord Karathress' Cataclysm Bolts really hurt if you have low health.
Silly Dhalphir. FLK's Cat bolts hit for 1/2 your MAXIMUM HP, no matter what your current health is at. So, if you have less than 50% hp, and get whacked...........................you die.
well then my point stands, they hurt if you have low health
Ahahaha, so true so true. The context of the post I found this in wasn't aimed that way, but you are indeed correct sir. This would require more heals though, not more hp.

Well the 70 Priest was the healer, the 68 SPriest was trying to DPS down the rift lords with the Balance druid, the hunter was overwhelmed by adds so he asked a Mage friend to help us instead. The first time we got to the 6th wave before there were too many adds, the 2rd time we were on the 11th when the 12th spawned and then the 13th was also involved when we wiped. Geuss my wife and I need to get some better gear for DPSing.
So upon doing my dailies last night I glanced at my backpack and realized I was up to 4500g. That certainly snuck up on me, seems like a day ago I just cracked the 1000g barrier. Anyways, I'm starting to think about my epic flier and wondering about the Netherwing Drakes. Just how much time do you have to put into the faction grind to get Exalted? Like 2 weeks of doing every daily? A month?
I'm curious because I think the Drakes look the best, but if it's going to take me forever to faction up I'll just say fuck it and get the Windrider. All my Daily quest time is spent doing SSO / Scyer shit right now till I hit Exalted with both of them.

I sort of don't like how all the sudden rogues have the guff to come and screw with the plate wearers. Go back to killing clothies you cowards!
When I was doing the Fire Festival stuff, I had an interesting encounter with a rogue. I had just extinguished the fire in Southshore when this human rogue uncloaks behind me and starts going at me. My first instinct is just to run for the hills, but after about eight seconds I notice he's only taken off around 10% of my health. So I turn around and start pounding on him.
Wham! 25%. Wham! 25% Wham! 25%
He then Cloak of the Noob'd away and hid out in the town. I /laughed and continued on my merry way.

Without any eggs, it is a minimum of two weeks. And the eggs are a random drop.

all the daily quest-doers are in SSC territory. Might run into a few fellow people doing netherwing rep for the dragons, but most times the area is pretty empty, least on my server. Means less competition for the eggs... when I was doing it for my druid I usually found at least 1 unclaimed egg every day.
I think it's closer to 3 or 4 weeks. It's been...a year since I did it though.
You'll want to get the epic windrider first anyway though, even if you only use it for a few weeks. An epic mount makes a big difference.
Blech. Ya I guess it makes sense to get the Windrider first, afterall once you train the skill a Netherwing is only 200g...alrighty, guess ugly-flying-lion will be mine in a couple of days. Thanks guys.

During the initial Netherwing push you'd find maybe 1-2 eggs a day, I remember people "selling" the coordinates. There's not too many people doing those quests anymore, I started doing them on my Druid and I'd find like 5-6 eggs daily. (Just take a quick spin around and look on the peaks of the hills, and around on the little floating islands and you'll get a few.)
So we're trying something new with the guild leadership. We are abandoning the idea of the class leader. We're moving to a smaller number of archetype coordinators. One tank, three DPS, two healer. The DPS being broken down into one melee and two ranged. The coordinators are going to be expected to have a good knowledge of raid theorycrafting, such as group composition and of course at least a moderate knowledge of the classes in the archetype.
We abandoned the idea of class leaders with BC. When there were forty people in the raid, and you had eight mages or nine priests or whatever, class leads sort of made sense. But in a raid where there's probably only two of your class, what's the point of one of you being "leader"? We still had class channels but it sort of evolved into melee chat, healer chat, tank chat, hunters bitching at each other over Vent... I would like just a "ranged DPS chat" but warlock chat has been around so long and so many people are in it for no reason, so it remains.

It really ramped up for a while there before the Sunwell dailies opened up; I couldn't do any of the kill quests because there'd be two or three paladins running circuits grabbing up every spawn and AoEing them down. Luckily I had already completed it on two other characters so I just said "fuck it" and I haven't been back since. I'll have to check it out now, hopefully it's a little easier to compete in there.

So about the unique flying mounts, how hard is it to get a nether ray in comparison to the nether drakes?
I think I'd like one of them, and I hate windriders so much I think I'd rather just skip them and go straight to the nether ray if possible, or pay a shitload extra and go straight for the CE mount

To get the Nether Ray you just need exalted with that faction. Easy enough I suppose.

Aye, quite a bit easier than the Netherdrake, just more time consuming because there aren't nearly the same number of repeatable quests with which to build rep as there are with the drakes.
Plus, getting exalted with Skyguard gives you the added benefit of a little non-combat nether ray come 2.4.3 (which, inexplicably, is still on the PTR).
I would say the only issues were ex-class leaders feeling frustrated over unclearly defined roles... For instance the RL still seemed to expect someone to assign warlock curses, but the old CL wouldn't do it, and then if I did I felt like I was stepping on her toes, etc.

Transition slowly. As people move on or go casual, don't fill their position. Instant overhaul just screams drama.

I geuss you could farm the Skettis all day until you reach exalted, but that would drive me to burnout.
Wasn't there a picture from a while back of somebody who had his twink ported to skettis and then just sat in a party dead or in ghost form so he could sponge rep to get to exalted for one of the trinkets?

The only drawback with the Skyguard is that only two daily quests are available until you complete the Ogre King quests (Gronn killing) for the Ogre'la faction. The two available are the egg bombing run and the scout rescue....

If a person doesn't mind farming endlessly, you get rep per kills, as well as the Shadow Dust that you can turn in for rep as well.
The benefit to the bombing is that it is SUPER easy (with the epic flyer), and RIGHT next to Shattrath, so it's a quick, free source of daily gold. I'm still doing it and I hit 999/1000 exalted rep a long time ago.

And if you get the one cooking daily you can do it pretty much at the same time.
You'd think a group consisting of a rogue, mage, hunter, priest and warrior should be able to down Priestess Delrissa on normal. Incompetent players aggravate me.
