Alright, WoW gaf, I want to jump on the discount prices for wow. What are the awesome GAF servers? I'm a total newbie and its great to be with fellow gaffers especially if an influx of newbies join so we can be newbie it up with you experienced guys. On that note, I'm looking to do a recruit a friend with someone. Is there some official GAF RAF thingy?

YO Ill do recruit a friend with you! Shoot me a PM with your email address. My buddies and I play on Korgath and I'll be more than happy to let you into my guild. We aren't hardcore or anything, we just level and have fun. I really want to make a troll druid XD. Any other new players should send me a PM if they want to do recruit a friend to!Niblet said:
Anyone notice the big monument in Stormwind Cemetery that looks like Uther's Tomb but doesn't actually have anything in it? I was hoping it'd be a monument to Bolvar or something.
I even died hoping there'd be some awesome secret there like the quest giver in blackrock mountain you can only see when you're dead, but nothing.

This shit is absurd, I cant move ten feet without 20 tells asking for a portal. Damn near makes me want to rethink making my mage my main for Cata but I hope it will die down. I did however make like 200g in 15 minutes, but even overcharging gets old because Ive got like 80k gold anyway.

Is it just some random air balloon thingy or a character?

Wow. I'm enjoying this way too much guys
Saw the awesome discount deal, and was wondering the same question as the first post on this page about the Gaf server/s.
I'll be on on Cata-Day(awesome name I thought up) and will most likely roll a Worgen Rogue or Hunter. Something about the idea of a Wolf man shooting a musket with a pet T-Rex or pet Wolf is freaking awesome to me. I think a Worgen Paladin would've been perfect for me, but that's not one of the choices.
So yeah, where should us newbies assemble?

Turned my Human pally into a Tauren. He's still riding the charger, even though he no longer knows how to actually summon that mount. :lol :lol
Did they redo textures in stormwind? Riding through the city now I cant explain it, but it looks more, clear? Like the walls, and flags on some of the poles and stuff looks more clear and detailed, but in org stuff looks the same, kinda blurry oatmealish. Not terrible, but its clear it hasnt changed in org, but SW looks freaking great.
Edit: I meant to say in Ironforge not Orgrimmar. Still seems to be a lot of old textures there.

Yes they did, but they redid the textures in every zone. You don't really notice it in like, Ashenvale, but all the zones have far higher rez textures.Puncture said:

I ran around trying to get Bilgewater (Goblin) rep in SM and Strat most of the day but, that shit was boring. After raid tonight I went to Silverpine to do the new quests. Wow! I am really impressed by what they've done here. I'm only like 25 quests in and it's definitely the coolest questing I've ever done in WOW. There's voice acting, cut-scenes, and there's just a great atmosphere in the place. Sylvanas is there fighting Gilneans and stuff and there's some Orc pirates there. I don't want to give too much away but, it's really good. If you like Sylvanas you HAVE to play this zone. I hope the other zones are even nearly as cool as Silverpine.

Finished off the 60+ quests in Silverpine. Wow, great zone.
The ending was awesome!

When Sylvannas was shot and killed, I was shocked
Currently the highest non-race change gnome priest (32) and going strong. Doing it without heirlooms that way I don't get grey quests and such. Barely able to do instances w/o screwing it up. I think I got 2 levels out of Deadmines. I'm enjoying the flow of the quests, except fuck Arathi, god awful zone.

Is there a reason only certain flying mounts can be used as regular ground mounts currently? eg. rockets, flying carpets and flying machines, I remember on the 4.0.1 ptr you could use any mount as a ground mount but they got rid of it altogether when people portaged in to fly in the old world. But as far as I know the portal trick was fixed anyway.
Just re-subbed since being out right before ICC came out and.. wow am I lost.
Can anyone give me a couple small tips regarding the changes? This is what I gathered from quick research, would be great if someone could tell me if I was heading in the right direction.
For my 80 DK
Blood for tanking
Unholy should be the go to DPS spec for 2H?
Not sure what talent builds to use
For my 80 Priest
I really have no idea what changes have been done and am having a hard time finding a guide for the new changes with the WoW forum being read-only. I always seemed to have a hard time with Holy, and loved disc for what its worth.
Also not sure of which talent builds to use
For my 71 Leveling rogue
Assassination the way to go w/ heirloom daggers?
Help would be greatly appreciated!

Used my free 7 days last night to check things out, made a new Tauren Warrior, and I have to say the bug really did not catch me the way it has before when I came back. I poked around for a few hours, got to Level 7, felt like I was wasting time I could be using to play other games, and logged off to go finish God of War II.
I am sure all of the new content is amazing, but I think the magic of WoW (and maybe MMOs in general since this is not my first) has finally worn off. I will probably log in tonight to finish out the noob area since I feel it deserves one more shake, but my hopes are not high.

BRD kicked our asses last night. All of us mana users kept running out of mana. No wipes but it was definitely slow going. I think Blizzard made dungeons significantly harder.
Thank god for Evocation!

The bosses take forever to kill, at least with my groups. And the trash really fuckin hurts. Especially all the mobs in SM. Tank didn't understand that he can't pull a bunch of shit, because I can't be dispelling and healing at the same time, all those mobs do is spam hammer. :lol However I did get in a group with a extremely well geared prot pally and he took no damage whatsoever, pulled the entire bat room in RFK. So I'm not sure what's up.
So this is off-topic re the shattering, but I have a level 62 prot pally (now an awesome Tauren), which I had burned out on and stopped leveling pre-4.0. Just got tired of the rotation/general feel. Since I race-changed last night, I hopped on him to run a dungeon or too.
And holy shit, good fucking job blizz. Tanking on him is a blast now, really love the new mechanics. Definitely going to rush him up to 80. I love that there are so many buttons to push now, it feels really fast and dynamic in comparison.
Also, did they retune the Outland dungeons as well, or are healers just scaling less at low levels? I died once or twice on pulls that I should not have died on (I'm an experienced tank, not pulling insanely or anything, and I'm full heirlooms with dungeon blues). One of the healers was a resto druid who just didn't seem to know what he was doing, but even on the good runs I seemed to be taking more damage overall.

Checking the Elitist Jerks DK and Priest forums will be your best bet, I know they have FAQs with talent builds for both classes. Blood will be your tank spec and Unholy for 2H dps, though.
If I were leveling a rogue from 71 I would go assassination with daggers, but that's mostly because I don't like combat. If you have the heirloom daggers already just stick with a mutilate build.
So I'm exploring Zul'Gurub, and I gotta ask, what was the point of removing the raid? It just a totally useless empty area now, no mobs, quests, or NPCs. Are they planning on adding quests and stuff in a content patch? Is it just that all the quests are in a "phase" that I'm not in yet? (actually that would be kinda interesting)

Can anyone confirm if there is an update to download, if so what size is it, or will I be able to log on straight away tonight? Based in the UK. Cheers

If you were previously up to date (4.0.3), it should only be about ~100mb. And I could go ahead and play and let it download in the background.SmokinGunZ1981 said:
