Holy crap, the Cape of Stranglethorne ending quests are awesome, the battle for Booty Bay is grand:D

Swinging on a rope onto the ship to fight!
 
A friend of mine has a 80 Tuaren druid he wants to transfer over to alliance come cata, think he will have the option to change to worgen? I remember switching a gnome warlock over to horde and I got to choose which race I wanted.

Yes, he'll be able to swap to Worgen.

So I hit 60 today, one day and 18 hours I believe is all it took, the new content is so good, going back to Hellfire Peninsula was pretty painful.

You make me want to level a new character when you say things like that, but there's no time for that now! :(

That Blizzard timeline shown on MMO-Champion is interesting to say the least.

Two more expansions, and two for D3...nice.

Dunno what to think about Titan though.

I can't see that thing being real. Why is the WoW movie on there? Not only does Blizzard have no control over that, it's not even being done by their company.

Why would they have no control over it. It is their game ... I'm sur ethey have input into the movie.

I will fuck my own face for playable Pandaren and a Monk class.
I said it before but I really think if there is another class added, it'll be Runemaster. Blizzard did state that it was one of the classes thrown around before Death Knight was chosen, and others have gone out on the crazy limb and stated that DKs are Runemasters but that's bollocks. It fits the perfect archetype of a hybrid monk/bard and gives Blizzard an opportunity to bring back fist weapons in a big way.


As for Pandarens, it'll eventually happen. Too many players want it.

I still hate the idea of Truth. Not to mention seal damage seems pathetic at 80 (although apparently Ret scales off the charts at 85)

You're thinking about it all wrong. The proper name for the spell is "Seal of 10 Expertise."

Meh Shadow Hunters, healing tree, ranged dps tree, casting tree. Need another class that uses ranged weapons, perhaps even throwing weapons.
 
Runemasters sound like what they did with Glyphs. It sounds kind of like a Shaman too. I think if they ever do another hero class it'll be Demon Hunter and have starting zone taking place in Black Temple with Illidan in the past sort of like the DK starting zone. Maybe it could be in an expansion where Tyrande and Malfurion decide to resurrect Illidan to fight the Burning Legion or something.

One thing that kind of sucks with WoW is we'll never get a true support class. A class whose job is to buff and debuff and doesn't do much if any damage and doesn't do much healing. I realize that sort of class wouldn't appeal to many, and Blizzard doesn't like classes not being able to hold their own while leveling. I really don't think if they do another class it'll be a melee.

No one from Blizzard is writing the movie and they are barely involved from what I've read. I think Metzen is a co-producer, for whatever that is worth.

Not to mention Blizzard have no control over the actual production itself. They don't choose the director, they don't choose the actors, they don't set the schedule, and Legendary Pictures owns the movie rights so they (Legendary) can do whatever they want with it.

Damn Oni, you spilling all those secrets. Metzen loves the idea of Illidan returning. The only problem with Demon Hunters is that they're exclusive to Night Elves, but that never stopped them previously.

This. With the whole Queen Azshara prelude this expansion, I smell a redemption story.

There are also Blood Elf Demon Hunters. There's some by Black Temple training IIRC.

There's also a few new Demon Hunters that have popped up after the Shattering to tease us. There's one that pops up while questing in the Blasted Lands and there's one doing something in Felwood. I think there's some more in the new Cataclysm zones too.

Another possibility would be to have Sylvanas bring Illidan back as an Undead. :lol Sylvanas is just crazy enough to do it. But it would be kind of like history repeating itself if Tyrande and Malfurion brought him back.

With the current "QuestHelper" already available, you should not need an addon.
True, though I do find Lightheaded and TomTom to work well as a compliment to the in-game QuestHelper.

I really miss being able to just veg in front of the screen to play all this awesome new content.

Luckily, you can pretty much slack 80% of the time in school, it's just the finals that kill your time to play. I'm not even going to really be able to do much when Cata drops until my last one on the 17th.
notworksafe said:

It's actually just an urban legend that the Chinese have a ban on Pandas in games or Pandaren. TFT was released in China, with its Pandaren in it, and there are other games in China that have fighting Pandas, and the movie Kung-Fu Panda was a big hit there. They probably *could* put them in if they cared to, i.e. they had the Pandaren pet, and such.

The Chinese government just gets sensitive about any and everything, including the animals they've basically driven to extinction, so they don't bother to even get away with it even if they could. Not to mention talking Pandamen are ridiculous.

I prefer there not being a support class. And as a raid leader I'm quite pleased with the buff consolidation that came into effect with 4.0.1. Simply from a logistics standpoint, it was a huge annoyance to manage stacking buffs in 10 man content.

Hell, you could argue that Shaman were already filling the spot as a "support" class with Heroism/Bloodlust. And I'm quite happy that come cataclysm, I won't have to worry if we don't happen to have our shammy healer on raid night. We'll just have a hunter swap out a pet or likely have a mage on hand and our strategies can stay exactly the same.

Brewmaster class with Pandaren please!

I'm looking for some help with a hotbar mod. Basically, my hotkey set up is 1 to = (half of these don't have any abilities though) on its normal bar, ALT1-6 and CTRL1-6 on the twelve slots of the hotbar above the main hotbar, and SHIFT1-6 on the hotbar to the right of the previous one. This is all using the default UI hotbars. I'm looking for something that will allow me to keep these key bindings, and just change what abilities are assigned to those keys when I change forms. For example, when in Bear Form, I want ALT1 to be Maul, but in Cat Form, I want it to be Prowl. What mod allows me to do this?

There's also one in Darkshore, when you let yourself be sucked into the whirlpool. Has an Alliance achievement for it as well.

Almost got exalted with all 6 major Horde factions, only 10.000 Silvermoon rep to go (should take about 6 to 8 HC runs). Didn't have exalted with any city before 4.0.3a hit, most were honored or just revered. Got Bilgewater first, then the rest. Have been playing WOTLK HCs a lot, instant queues with my offspec bear is pretty nice.

Getting better at tanking also, 100% sure I'll go play cat/bear come Cata.

I use Bartender and it does exactly what you're asking for. The newest version allows you to have it look like the default UI also, which is nice.

Is Jewelcrafting good for making money? I just hit 80 and need money for mount and such :p
Or if not any other profession I should be going for?

i had some twilight texts left over on an alt that i just put up for 8g a piece in the AH. there was about 400 up for slightly higher than that price. would farming them be a viable money-maker? is the drop rate decreased now or what?

also, is there a tooltip mod that will show me damage per second, damage per mana, etc for each of my spells?

I used to use DrDamage some time ago. Looks like it's still active and they're hard at work in alpha for 4.0.3a.

With the Demon Hunter being the recently announced final class for Diablo 3, I really find it hard to believe they have any intentions to put a Demon Hunter class in WoW. If they do ever put a new class into WoW it will be something unique and different, not something pulled from one of their other franchises.

I am not an expert on Diablo, but did they not already do this with taking the Demon Hunter from Warcraft (not WoW even though there are NPC Demon Hunters) to Diablo?

Hrmm...you really should have that kinda of cash when you hit 80 anyway. Mining and Jewelcrafting are your best bet, since you then don't have to buy your mats from the Auction. It is fairly expensive to level up, especially past the 400 odd mark. Then you can make the higher-end Meta gems etc that Raiders need.

You could also pick collection skills like mining, skinning, Herbalism etc. If you have no production skills, it makes it easier to save and AH the mats. I would think that was your best way to make cash.

Just scan your local AH, see what things are going from and then you can focus around that.

Also, take Fishing! Seriously, level it up and get food buffs and mats that you can also sell. Raiding gets expensive. :lol

Demon Hunter is one of the three starting WC3 heroes and couldn't be more apart from the ranged Demon Hunter D3 class.
 
Damn this game, I went from not being too excited with the changes last week to having the expansion on pre-order and planning on taking next Wednesday off work. I really was only looking to come back casually, but they sucked me back in hard. I spent a good chunk of yesterday hitting 450 cooking and working on a few WotLK reps I still needed to cap.

Tonight I am going to start building up a bunch of daily quests to chain turn in when the cap is raised. Also I am considering just doing 80-81 in WotLK heroics since I imagine the starting zones are going to be a mess next Tuesday. Probably just work on Hyjal quests while sitting in queue unless things seem to be moving OK without needing to camp mobs.

The amounts of ore deposits & veins in the old world now is so ridiculous. They are literally everywhere, i even ignore them when i just couldnt do it before! Lvling engineering isn't even a headache with mining. A single cave can have nearly 6 deposits now instead of 1 or 2. :lol

Mithril ores, that used to sell for 35-40g a single stack, is now being sold for 6-8g. I guess they had to do something when getting ores in Outlands & Northrend was that much easier than Kalimdor & Eastern Kingdoms.

Why wouldn't you go do Blackrock Caverns and Throne of the Tides instead of WotLK heroics?

Flib said:

I imagine blowing through the older instances would be a lot easier than doing the new ones where people have no idea how to handle the fights. It pretty much would come down to what made the best XP/hour.

Yes, much harder. The mobs in the zones by the time you get to Uldum and Twilight Highlands hit like trucks, and it's hard to take more than one if you're not a tank.

The instances / raids are harder as well.

The only issue is that literally NO ONE will do WOTLK heroics after the 7th.

Not only because they will be useless with loot no one want anymore, but because everyone are bored of them after killing Loken 635 times and Prophet Tharonja 532 times.

Those two instances are easy. 80-82 is unbelievable fast anyway, don't really understand people wanting to blow through it. I'll be going at a quick pace, but I sure as hell won't be grinding the fuck out of old content to gain a level I could attain with 1 dungeon and a half-hour of questing.

The new instances are great, enjoy them.

There's actually a ton of beta footage you can check out and see for yourself on youtube. I recommend TGN and TotalBiscuit

Some stuff seems to be harder (especially cause people are in the Wrath equivalent of all ilevel200 gear), but there'll still be some easy stuff. People in the beta consider the boss in Baradin Hold (the new VoA-like instance) to be easier than Archavon.
 
I just discovered that Warp Stalker pets can no longer Warp...

Sad until I realized the replacement ability was Time Warp, which slows enemy movement by 50%. Guess I don't ever need Concussive Shot again!

How is that an issue? There's no reason to do the Wrath heroics after Cataclysm drops, same thing that happened with the BC ones.

Well, its not an issue for 99% of us, that i am aware. I was only talking to the guy who would rather do WOTLK heroics than doing Cataclysm quests or 5 mans. That is an issue only for him though. :lol
