I kinda hate the way new Chaos Bolt looks. It's silly.
Leveling EXP changes are nuts. D:

It should have been obvious that they lowered the XP requirements in the beta because if they didn't no one would get to the last zones.

I have a question about MoP. Can we go to the new zones at 83 or do you have to be 85?

With how exponentially stats ramp up at that point you would definitely want to be there at 85, even if you could be there earlier.

Well, max settings can only be achieved by configuring Config.wtf in certain ways. Have you done that or are you simply running every in-game setting at highest level?

Basically all of these: http://www.wowpedia.org/Cvar#Graphics
Here's what I use on the PTR servers currently, just as an example (I have a low-end graphics card):
There are many settings left out of this document. Graphics and audio settings affect performance the most. Set the file to "Read only" so the program doesn't overwrite your preferences when you launch it.

Darn. Thanks guys. I loved going to Northrend at 68 with my toons. 2 less levels in Outlands. I thought it would be the same for Pandaria.

If there were 10 levels, I would imagine it woudl be 2 levels under.

Kinda lame that RAF bonuses work for monks though (and allow them to get realm firsts). It means spending extra money is the only way you're going to win that one.
Not sure if I'd want to try going for a realm first of any kind (be it professions or classes) this time. I probably wouldn't get it if I transferred before launch (and I'm pretty sure there's still a window there for a month or three where you can't get realm first achieves.)
If anything, my best shots would be something that you can do super fast (like fishing), or something where there's less competition. Max inscription, for example, wasn't reached until at least a few days after launch in Cataclysm on my server. Was decently close to winning that one unexpectedly, and I probably could have if I had focused on it. The last bit was just super expensive at the time.
I could probably win leveling for a less played class. DK I was 24th and 205th overall on my server last time, though DK was a more competitive class.

It's incredibly hard to win Realm First class achievements anyways.

Oh I know. You essentially have to poop-sock, and know exactly what leveling route you're going to take ahead of time. I'm not giving myself false hope here.

my cake, fuck off
Welp, I just bought the battle chest. Downloading now. I haven't played WOW since 2005.
They're going to release them all at once from what i know, and we have no idea when. It may as well be the expansion AFTER MoP.

god you have so much to learn. theres an incredible amount of content to see.

Dude, you are in for a treat.
That's awesome. So much new stuff to see.
They had said that if they were going to be new models at launch it'd probably be human or dwarfs. Blizz hasn't talked about it since then, though, and no one has seen anything in the beta. They'll most likely not be there for launch and will be spread out for future patches.
They've said they'd rather get the original 8 races updated at the same time rather than spread it out, so expect that to happen in one of the major content patches for MoP, if at all.

They aren't going to update races til next expansion minimum.
I think a content patch may be likely. From the looks of the last content patch they are kinda realizing a raid and some quests each patch isn't quite enough.

I do not see why that would be silly. Will the game suffer in any way or form if most people stick with their old characters instead of rolling pandas?

It's a pointless hypothetical; they haven't done it yet.
I'm not talking about the game, I'm talking about $$$ for Blizzard.
You know a lot people will race change to Pandas, for the new animations, much better models as well as the racials. Now next expansion or 5.3 in 14 months time or whatever when the 10 old races get updated and the Panda racial is nerfed guess what's going to happen? By staggering release of updated old models they will get a lot of people who firstly change to Pandas and than later back to their old race or whatever they think looks best now.
It's just a question of when they pull the trigger... if MOP doesn't bleed subs like Cata than probably next expansion unless they're feeling generous. If MOP bleeds I'm sure we'll get it in a content patch. lol if people think this has nothing to do with $$$, when Blizz damn well know that letting Monks be affected by RAF is going to get a lot of "2nd accounts" from a certain crowd. If they weren't all about $$$ they wouldn't have let Goblins, Worgens and now Panda's be targets to change race to from day 1.
Hit 85 on my Boomkin yesterday, then farmed some leathers with my Mage friend and got capped out on LW with a full Vicious Wyrmhide set to show for it (save the gloves, I bought a 378 epic on the AH for 200 gold). Feels good to finally make it to endgame. Took me about a month of on-again, off-again since work has been a constant pain in the ass.

Shit... seemed like a good deal if I wanted to start playing WoW (although I wanted to do that for years, but that might have pushed me.. only I didn't have enough money to pay for a year subscription back in May or earlier)
When do Blizzard games usually drop in price (Diablo 3)?
BTW, Is there a EU GAF Guild?
lol nah I maintained healthy habits of going to the washroom when necessary, showering, eating things other than pop and doritos.

I think I'm going to go ahead and get the CE. I need a new mousepad anyway. Though I might not be able to order until first week or so of September. I hope amazon still has some. Its funny, you can buy the Cataclysm CE right now for $68 on amazon. But Wrath and Burning Crusade are still expensive as fuck. I wonder which way MoP CE will go after time.
I have the BC and Cataclysm CE's. I want Wraths, but damn, its like several hundred dollars.
