Priest is 76. Tailoring and Enchanting is almost to 500. I think I should be good to go for Pandaland. Priest and Monk will be my mains. Can't wait!
 
Killing wild horses in Hillsbrad Foothills for the Black Tabby has been especially soul crushing. I've been camping the spawn point, so it's basically non-stop kills. Deleting shit out of my bag every 10 seconds...a group of horses spawning every few seconds...if I miss one I have to go track it down somewhere along their path. It's intense.

Man, why is the one cat in the game that happens to look like my cat such a rare drop!? I must've killed 1k already...went to bed last night with visions of running horses trying to slip by me. This thing better drop tonight.
 
This Theramore event, is it global or group instanced?

3-man instance. And after you complete it the first time, the world area becomes permanently changed.

Blizz is saying class/spec doesn't matter in Scenarios and they are more like group quests than dungeons/raids.

you can do it alone but then there will be two NPC's as help.

In case you would like to hang back and enjoy the lore.

Like i do.

ah, so it doesn't find other players for you? or is there just an option to run with NPCs and you can still queue for other players if you want?

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Oooh, a delicious feats of strength :3! I like!
 
Just bought a month game time. Not really sure want I'm going to even do before MoP launches lol. I do have a reaaallly badly geared level 85 Paladin, so no Theramore event for me I guess. What's the ilvl requirement for it? My Pala has a 373 ilvl.

I'm really undecided what I'd like to do. I have my tanking Paladin but I've grown tired of tanking, don't have much DPS gear and it would just take a lot of 'boring' time to get him geared and set up for DPS. Was thinking about a fresh hunter which I'd really like but dammit, level 1 ... But I really do love hunters, favourite class.

So that's my choice and both have a downside. Wish I wanted a Monk so I had a desire to start from Level 1.

do a panda hunter!
at least the first 10 levels (which are some of the worst imo given that you start with so few abilities) will be something new

By the way, any suggestions for UI packages? Used ElvUI before but on the page it's not called ElvUI any more? Think it's dubbed ElvUI HUD and looks like shit.

I can't, Pandas look awful :p I'd rather stick to the normal races.

you looking for that on curse?
elv ui isn't on curse anymore, need to go to their site, it looks different when you first run it, but there should be a skin option on the installation that looks like the old one

So any suggestions on stuff to do prior / stuff that must be done prior to next Tuesday? Returning player who stopped playing right after BWD, etc., opened :).

No looking at their own site, I know they stopped updating curse. But I was just looking in the wrong place - The "Addons" tab instead of the two tabs specified for the addons themselves. So I'll spend the evening setting up ElvUI :)


You... monster.

I know, I know :p They look cute / awesome and all but just not my kind of preference, especially not for sinking tons of hours into it.

Theramore scenario is up right now in the EU! (am I late? I'm late, right?)
seems to not work properly, 6 min in que atm -.-
edit: nevermind, works if you que as a full group
5 min of work, kinda a glorified quest, was fun this one time, don't see myself doing it again (well except on my alt to get the tabard ^^)
 
That reminds me... before I do the Theramore event, I should fly by and take a look at it before hand. I always ignored it as Horde. Then I can appreciate the aftermath of the scenario.

Come on, Theramore US :(!!!!!!

Is it 3-man or 5-man?

Aaaaand it's bugged. Some objectives don't update, just like in beta. Outstanding job, Blizz.

Details! Seems to be 15 minutes max, but like I said it's bugged I had to reset it. Horde and Alliance scenarios are different, obviously. It's for 3 people.
 

Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
It's not you, it's me. I am obviously wording things poorly.

I guess what I mean is, like the original T3 Naxxramas ain't around no mo. Stuff like that.

No, and anything like that was gone in 5.0.4, i.e. Scarlet Tabard.

I think about 5-7 mins, some 6 objectives
-land kill some stuff
-kill 3 captainsn torch 3 ships
-kill some dude
-reach proudmore
-kill some tank/vehicle/siege thingy, collect 3 banners
-protect jaina

it's basically an instanced 3 man quest, get a bag at the end that gives an epic item, don't know if your spec matters, got a strength 2 handed axe, so maybe it does and you get the tabard via mail
 
Kinda wish I had an Alliance 85 to experience it from their perspective. Maybe I'll finally commit to leveling one during Mists.

I'll probably resub by Thursday if not tomorrow or Wednesday. Been having a lot of fun with Dota 2 recently, so my mind really hasn't been on WoW all that much.

What else could they do? The Zombie and Ele invasions had a purpose and they can't do that again because it makes no sense.

This does.
 
They haven't done a good event since Zombie Invasion, and players just moaned and groaned so now we can't have nice things.

I missed Zombies, but it seemed entertaining. The Cataclysm launch event was kinda neat, but a bit underwhelming TBH. This one seems even more boring in comparison, though still should be fun to do it a couple times.

The truth right here. Zombie invasion is the most fun I have ever had with this game. It was cool having free for all for a week or two. Alliance grouping with horde and vice versa as part of the zombie army, just wrecking cities, killing your own faction, seeing how far into the remote reaches you could get the zombie plague. Good times and it will never happen again because people cry too much.
