Trying to decide on a class I want to play come cat.
I really want to base the decision on what class I have the most fun pvping with. But... getting to level 19 on all classes would suck. Not having heirlooms for all classes and facing twinks would suck. Getting pwned at level 10 in WSG would suck.
I've made pre-mades in the past.. but it takes time to learn a new class. So, I can't gauge how much fun I'm having since I'm getting owned by people good and their class.
Also, I suck at hot keys.

Hm. I see that on wowwiki. Xp-off vs xp-off.Pookaki said:Twinks get put in seperate BG's now.
Now that I think about it, it seems logical that quite a few 10's-18's would level by battlegrounds some. Guess I'll just get to 10 on all classes and level by bg and instances.

you can't put a price on sparks
yeah but there are still twinks in the xp-on arena...just at 60 and 70 (they dont have certain xpacks)

Browsing the WoW and MMO-Champion forums, I'm seeing lots of discussion on the level of difficulty of Cata dungeons compared to WotLK dungeons. I've only done two Cata dungeons so far - Blackrock Caverns and Grim Batol. Both are quite long, and some of the fights seemed challenging although a lot of it had to do with us not knowing the fights well.
When I first started WotLK dungeons I thought many were somewhat easy, but saying they were across the board facerolls isn't accurate. There was nothing easy about Utgarde Pinnacle before everyone knew the fights (and how to exploit Skadi). I remember Halls of Stone and especially Halls of Lightning not being walks in the park either (come on, Loken was hard). But like any other encounter in WoW/most games, they became easier once I understood things.
BC dungeons were far more challenging though. Lots of multi mob pulls, lots of group damage, and some tricky pulls that could wipe you. Also, lots of long ass dungeons. Blackrock Caverns in Cata is long as hell. LK stuff is pretty streamlined, built to complete in 20-30 minutes; not only in the design of smaller areas, but the inclusion of easier mobs. I'd rather have short to medium sized dungeons with tough mobs/bosses than long, sprawling vanilla-esque dungeons with tough mobs/bosses.

What is this Gnomerangean thing or whatever? I got a letter about it and looked it up online and it's just a quest chain. I don't get what this is all about...
Does it have something to do with Cata? Are the quests worth doing?

The Lamonster said:
The quests are fun, Mekkatorque has an epic gnome voice
lol ) and you get an item that transform you into a gnome wearing a "spacesuit" for 30 mins. The only downside is the 4 hours cooldown on the item. And if you are an achievement whore, there is also one.And its a quest chain to retake (the surface at least) of Gnomeregan, so gnomes can get their own starting area once Cataclysm is released.
The Lamonster said:
I haven't done the quest yet, just heard about it from friends. But it sounds like the quest takes you to fight alongside the gnomes and recapture Gnomeregan. My guess will be in Cataclysm, the gnomes are back in control of Gnomer and it will be another capital city (in other words, fucking awesome).
Also, just to chime in on the difficulty. LK instances really aren't that easy.. they are only easy because people are geared to the teeth these days in 6k+ gs. Back in BC and vanilla, this wasn't usually the case because epics weren't handed out like candy. But I've ran heroics in BC with a geared group, and they can be facerolled the same way LK heroics are today.

Thanks guys, I had a feeling there was a broader picture that I wasn't understanding. I'll do the quests this weekend!

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
What I really wish Blizzard would do is give 1-50 dungeon bosses mechanics at all. I'd say it seemed like 80% of bosses in those dungeons entire fight strategy was tank and spank other than a couple of end bosses.PhoenixDark said:

I've decided to waste some time and grind the Wintersaber rep to get my white kitty. I've wanted this for years and now is as good a time as any to do it since raiding is fairly useless until Cata IMO.

I've got the same situation on my server with saronite ore. It's not quite below vendor value, but it's pretty low. Should I just hold on to it? It seems like materials from the lower levels sell for more. I can sell a stack of cobalt ore for about 25g where my stack of saronite might go for 10g.
I'm guessing this is because people want to power level their alt's professions coupled with people not wanting to go gather lower level materials. Could it be possible that saronite will go up in price when the expansion comes out? Would it be wise to try and lock down the saronite ore market by buying up all the low priced materials and reselling?
Also, what are you guys getting for titanium on your servers? I can get around 250g per stack on mine.

Yup, that was tough back in the day. I had lots of trouble tanking it lol, as well as Mana-Tombs and Sethekk Halls.
Back then dungeons actually prepared you for raids. I've never been one to complain about "welfare epics" or whatever, but it's definitely true that the game is so focused on acquiring easy gear right now that learning raid mechanics/your class/etc is somewhat forgotten. Now the only requirement for raiding seems to be having x Gearscore.
The 5 level limit gives me some hope that things will be harder this go around.
BC dungeons don't hold a candle to the pain that was vanilla dungeons at 60.
Running pre-nerf Start / Scholo / LBRS with five non-raid equipped toons was fucking painful. All for a few poorly itemized blues. Then you'd get your full dungeon set only to find out you should have been farming / AH camping for random BoE greens w/ FR.

So much truth in these words.TomServo said:
TomServo said:
Oh god the painful memories.
Farming fire resist for MC/BWL.
Farming elementium in BWL.
Farming for Nature Resist gear in Mauradon for AQ40
Farming tons and tons of ghost mushrooms for Naxxramas.
All the while, (as a raiding rogue)
Farming swifthistle for Thistle Tea
Farming Winterfall Firewater
I'm sure there's other things that I forgot.

I got all the cloth nature resist patterns from rep in Silithus. But those may have been added later. I can't remember, and that was for cloth gear, not leather. So nm.Negator said:
It's a pity now, you never really encounter this anymore. Now it's more like doing a daily. Two people go, summon the rest... Oh no, a ganking group of horde at the rock. QQQQQQ for 15minutes *Group disbands*. I think people would prefer it if they could just get in the instance from Dalaran. :lolMcNei1y said:
Instance is as followed, Tank and spank. Any use of CC means either the tank, healer, or dps sucks. And I'll say it, Shattered Halls was awesome. Watching T6 people think they have any sort of "Skill" only to wipe on the chain pull area and have to restart... priceless.

Probably in there to stop people under 80/81 from flying around.krypt0nian said:
shintoki said:
Yeah, its lost its touch. Instance camping/pvping was always fun. BC even had it. Fighting before TK was another classic, although not as fun as BRM.
As for farming for NR gear, I was recently searching through my 6 year old photobucket account and have seen alot of old wow pics, some of them were from my druid and my friends druid farming Mara for the NR gear. :lol
I wish I uploaded alot more pics from my old cpu.
not liking the sound of this one. I really wouldn't put it past blizzard to make this a level 80 thing trainable for another 5k gold, so the actual flying gold sink for cataclysm is 10k if you want 310% speed.krypt0nian said:
also the ghost wolf change makes some sense to me. I don't like it but since you can use it indoors now, they probably want it to match aspect of the cheetah's speed instead of travel form.
Info is starting to come out about BM specced hunters abilities. We knew the pet pass was coming. Looks like BM hunters exotic pets will come with some seriously sweet shit:

Corehounds appear to have Bloodlust.

Maelstrom Weapon no longer affects Lava Burst
"Weve added a new flying skill called Flight Master's License. When World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is released, players who purchase the expansion will see this skill available from flight trainers once they reach level 60. This new skill is required for flying around all Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms zones, including the new level 80-85 zones.
The cost for this is 250 gold. The name has also changed. I've updated my original post with the new information. "
Not so bad I guess...
