I was banned in a massive wave in the WotlK beta for being one of hundreds (thousands?) of druids to exploit the Typhoon bug that existed for about 2 hours on beta servers in one build. We learned how broken it was and went and killed one boss in Naxx 25. They broke the game, we decided to see just how broken. We got banned. Still doesn't make sense to me.
Anyway, I'm starting to think that beta ban blacklisted me for future beta invites, since I was invited to both previous ones pretty early on and made many active reports and contributions during each.

GC posted a fairly comprehensive overview of Archaeology, and as bitter as I am about the Path removal, this does actually sound like a pretty fun "Hey I'm bored let's go randomly gallivanting about the world to kill time" kinda thing to do. And toys!

God being DPS on my server sucks..
I wanted to go back to my hunter and work on getting 50+ mounts and loads of pets as im never going to be geared enough for ICC or atleast I will be eventually but it will be a waste of time and he has loads of exalted reps/ more quests done/achivs etc
Shame its 20min+ wait for a random dungeon, I just cant see the point in being dps if I can go on my DK (which has better gear in 4 weeks than my hunter in 4 months) and click random dungeon and be in a group before I can even close a window!
I would pay silly money to be able to merge characters so my DK gets all my achivs/mounts/reps/quests done but that will never happen.
Whats more annoying as Hunter is being overhauled with all this crazy BM stuff etc and yeah you can level as it but once I hit cap it will be the same stupid wait times
I suppose if I dont care about seeing ICC on my hunter I can just ignore random dungeon but I dont want to reach 85 and it repeat itself again :S
/rant off

I believe achievements are being synced across characters and games, but I don't know if that will apply to the rewards from those achievements.
And a bug mount!Sax Russel said:

It's like that on every server. Roll a hybrid class and tank or heal.

I went with my sister to ZG to farm for the mounts today. They didn't drop. Then we went on our alts. Raptor dropped, and my sister got it.
Now, what are the odds that we'll get another drop?
Oh well, at least I get first dibs on the tiger now.

:lol :lol :lol I remember that. Typhoon was so fucked up. If I remember it had no cooldown and it did absurd damage at the time so you could spam it forever.

Any chance that we'll be able to ride our AQ40 mounts outside of AQ40?notworksafe said:

Oh come on!notworksafe said:
There are far too many mounts in WoW for that argument to be made. It would be a fad for a month and then people would start mixing it up. WoW is way past having mounts mean anything with the exception of the Invincible Reins off of Heroic LK, anyway. No, I'll tell you what they need to do. They need to add flying bug mounts lol.The below pic ruined any and all credibility mounts have in the game.:lol

People called Romanes they go the house?
notworksafe said:
Nah, cause on AQ mounts, you get dismounted after ANY damage taken, so at the very least, they wouldn't be used in BGs.
But I would really like them to do it anyways. Would be awesome.

Still holding out for that November release.
Tamanon said:Yeah, I'm downloading the PTR right now, just in case it's the big ol' Talent revision one
And judging by the installer, this is for the actual 4.0 patch, it's the new Cataclysm launcher.
Yep also installing. Will be worth it to mess around with the new talents. Will be behind the beta servers likely however, and no access to the expansion stuff but still. Talents skills and numbers is what I want to see.
davepoobond
you can't put a price on sparks
well i hope its november, because then ill at least have a chance at farming the zg mounts...

I just thought they would release it after Blizzcon.
Or, they could release it earlier and announce next MMO at Blizzcon...

so its pretty safe to assume the mounts are being removed completely, right? im guessing thats going to be the case along with rivendare's mount.
PTR servers are up.
And I really expect this patch to be shorter than Lich King's 3.0, considering how much they've already finalized in the Beta (which is to say, a LOT). If you look at current Beta passovers, it's just tweaking here and there atm.
I fully expect Cata to be dropped before, during, or after Blizzcon.

This is the Cata preview PTR, the new spells, abilities, overhauls.

Does 4.0 mean redone 1-60 zones? If so, sign me up
funkmastergeneral said:
Yeah.
Its everything, just not the new zones and lvling has not been allowed.
Most of it is ready for large scale testing, the old world stuff. And more people fooling around with it will give em more feedback.
Im guessing November, 1 month of PTR, then a few weeks of patch 4, then cata. Its mostly refining now, all the zones are in, the dungeons.
EDIT
Actually:
This is basically the exact same build as Cataclysm Beta, just without all the Cataclysm-only stuff. Old world changes, new quests, etc ... are NOT AVAILABLE, but will be available on live realms for people without the expansion after it's deployed.

I went into the PTR servers with the Cataclysm beta and it's pretty hilarious how screwed up everything looks since I have the new world on my screen.
