HATE: WoW right now. Just so boring.
HAPPINESS: Paladins will kick ass in wotlk.
HOPE: They don't get nerfed between now and then.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

Hate: The wrecking crew won't let me bring my warrior to ZA for this week, since they are bringing in a PuG willing to pay 6k for a bear.
Happiness: surviving the officer initiation of doing loot last night without fucking up dramatically.
Hope: Rogue 'pass' in WLK is awesome.
Hores: .... hrm. Forget the blackjack, and the booze.
Am I the only person who thinks the rogue talents that are on the beta right now sound pretty awesome? I mean, there're a few things that need tweakin', but overall, I'm looking forward to playing my gimp rogue.
As someone who's favoured swords and combat since long before it became the Gold Standard, yeah, I wouldn't mind a little more love.
Also, many of the classes have gotten a 'second pass' where talents are tweaked, fixed, moved, improved or added, and they've all seemed pretty badass. Even if I were perfectly content with what we'd gotten, there's nothing wrong with getting some more awesome stuff.
True, the additions to Combat have been somewhat lackluster, thus far.
Agreed.
So out of touch right now.
Hate: All of my toons are fucking broke and I want to level leatherworking on my rogue. Every minute farming gold on my main is a minute im not levelling my rogue.
Hope: That my buddy levels his female undead rogue so we can make a 2v2 team called "Frankenstein Girls" (My rogue is also a girl zombie)
I wish for a non combat sword spec. Hmm, mutilate with swords.
Hemo?
Meh.
I really like the assassination tree. I'd just like to not have to use daggers. What's so wrong with Mutilate working with all weapons?
HAPPINESS: Fury Warriors will kick ass in WotLK.
HOPE: They don't get nerfed between now and then. (They will.)
WHORES: All of you.
Alternatively,
HOPE: Enough people will play WAR to keep the game interesting.
I also hate that I got to play WAR for a weekend but then it was taken away! I want to play MOAR.
But, there is happiness that devs have been much more forward with us about their intent for raids, PvP and what have you. TBC had chucklefucks like Tseric contradicting developer posts, and the beta forum were dead with little blue posting at all. Thanks guys for actually doing your jobs!
I'm hoping WAR is tightened up when open beta launches so I can cancel my account and tell Arthas he can have Azeroth for all I care.
So we lost a resto druid (not the annoyance) to being recalled by the military. So he decided to let his brother have the account. Said brother decided to leave the guild. And he decided he'd try to ninja a chunk of the guild bank. At which point he ran into limits we put into place to prevent hacked accounts from doing this. We have a limit on the per tab withdrawals.
So dipshit thinks he'll grab the most expensive items and run off. Unfortunately, being a complete and total moron he steals things that look purple. Some examples:
Epic Frost Resist helm.
Restro Druid Shoulders from BT. (Current AH value....22g)
Some arcane tomes
So he managed to ignore a number of high value items and steal stupid stuff. Sum total of his thiefs comes out around 500g or so. Fortunately the story ends with the druid going on vent and ripping his brother a new one and the items were returned.
But seriously, if you're going to steal, why be a fucking moron and steal shit you can't use or sell?
Oh Noes!: Entered the key, got a "Key not expansion key." error.
Huzzah!: Emailed them about it, tried the key again an hour later: "Congratulations! This World of Warcraft account has been successfully upgraded to the Wrath of the Lich King Beta."
Hate: You.
Hope: You die.
Happy: At the thought of it.
Hate: Its not here yet.
Hope: That my friends and I will be able to decide on a faction before release...
Talk about taking words right out of my keyboard. However, I'll add one of my own.
HATE: That I've been a loyal subscriber for three and a half years and haven't received a beta key. I mean, people who haven't touched the game in six months (or hell, have only been playing the game for six months) got keys and yet I'm still empty handed
I love Blizzard, really, but the way they go about betas annoys me to no end. You either have to travel across the country or the world to get a beta key, or just be randomly selected. I just wish for once that they would reward those players who have been customers for years. I mean, pick those people with 24 month+ active accounts and let them in.
Of course I wouldn't be whining about this if I'd have made it into the damn opt-in, but since I didn't, here I am
Sometimes it takes me a less than 5 kills to get other times I slaughter several forge camps before it drops.
I also have been loyally playing since before launch. I was a lucky guy who got into the closed beta, and have been throwing money at blizz for almost 4 years now. And I'm really on the fence about sticking with wow in wotlk, or going over to WAR.
/sigh
I too agree, they should give out more keys to long time subscribers than to short term ones. Everyone deserves a chance at beta, but those of us who have been in for the long haul, I think should have an edge over someone who's been playing for three months.
Oh well, all I can do is check my inbox and hope.
Happy though: I seem to be the only one in my guild gungho about DK's, so chances are I'll get to raid with one (assuming I can put some serious grindage in).
Hate: Chances are all these people who are saying "meh I might roll one after the newness has worn off and everyone else already has, just to try it out. Will be the same people, who before BC hit, said the same about paladins, and ended up taking their fucking vacation at BC launch to be the first paladin high enough in the guild to get a spot.
Goddamnit! Some people don't keep jobs long enough to build up vacation! I'm one of thsoe people you cheating sunsabitches!
Please test out as much Prot and Ret stuff as possible, I can't decide between the two specs or if I even want to be a paladin still, I might go back to my mage and try out a frostfire bolt spec
how has strength scalin worked out? is Divine Strength worth taking?
Hope: OH! OH GOD! EVEN IF I DON'T GET IT!
Hate: End of the raid: 5 MH Warglaives in the guild, and 2 OH's.
Thanks RNG, now instead of finishing a set, we're starting another, and because we only had 2 warriors in the raid (and 0 rogues without a MH), it went to ... the tanking warrior. The DPS warrior had been in for a significantly shorter period of time, and probably wouldn't have used it anyway.
Ugh.
And yes, I know bitching about legendaries is probably pretty stupid, but still... fuck you RNG!
I couldn't copy over my protadin for some reason so my holy pally had to do so my tanking gear is entirely northrend stuff (STR, STAM, DEF), but I've had no problems at all with threat or mitigation in any of the 5mans, I haven't ran the heroic yet because noone else seems to want to so I can't really say how things will work out there but at the moment my prot Warrior is going fury as a farming character for the Horde Paladin I'm levelling to tank with.
edit: if I ever learn to deal with how crappy the blood elf animations are
Have they fixed Shield Spec to scale with Block value given by Strength??
Wish I'd Had My Firewall Properly Set Up For This: 1.07 GB of 1.88 GB downloaded so far.
I was super tempted to skip Redoubt and Shield Spec too but really, for all the complaints of bloat in the tree, I don't feel like I'm really missing any key talents in my build (maybe mess around with the Judgment cooldown for rotation purposes).
Ok, this is going in the OP.
I'm trying to just go through, have a good time by clearing some shit, getting some rep and money.
The disease begs to differ.
150 shadow damage inflicted every 10 sec.
Health Regeneration rate reduced by 100%
Yep, I can't eat food to get health back, I can use a bandage in between ticks, but then it just goes back down and I immediately have to start over from scratch after getting back into battle.
In other words, it's blizzards way of saying "lol fckin nub go sit down afk4ten mins lolz"
