most of the hard parts should be pretty dumbed down by the time 5.4 comes out. I know it's a lot faster now than each phase was when they first launched.
Yoshichan
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?
Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah.What its like waiting for Galleon to spawn on Stormrage.
Lol, goddamn man. 3 raids, and people keep track of the spawn time estimates. So theres just a fucking pow wow (or in this case, a random unprovoked Mammoth train) at every spawn.
Shit is jokes. I love this server.
Galleon...

That's hilarious. On my server (Perenolde-US) Galleon can stand around unmolested for hours at a time...

Nice one. The stupidest characters I've made are of bad pun kind. Tauren Death Knight Moograine (the one I'm more proud of) and a beyond you're-trying-way-too-hard sort, Pandamonkium. Triple pun!
That was somewhat the point of Cata. How about no. It's a nice idea, but it's not one worth losing endgame over.
Nice, I love that they do this from time to time. I loved getting Aldriana's Gloves of Secrecy back in ICC.

Yeah, I agree. Gameplay does take precedence, but when you read the recent novels and hear about all these things that we'll probably never see the results of in-game...well, as a lore-nerd it's a little sad, that's all.
Can't believe people actually are this stupid that they think he will be fired.

Honestly the worst forum in the world. But I post from time to time.
But the hate is worse than on GAF. <.<
The server lagged so bad on that kill once he spawned that there was no tank. At no point did the freaking guy ever attack any of us, he just sat there while we mashed our spells and his HP chunked down lol. All the skills you used took like 8 seconds to register. Sooooooooooo much lag.

Never forget Eyonix.

Won't post the image directly as I can imagine this could be classed as a spoiler for those who care about that type of thing but... what? Apparently this is from Siege of Orgrimmar.

Kinda hate how Iron Forge got totally forgotten.. ain't no one ever hang out in SW in the old days.
What's the picture? Blocked at work.
You generally get them as you do the daily quests that you'd be doing when the content was released.
To Honored was the Golden Lotus daily area
Honored -> Revered was the Domination Point daily area
Revered -> Exalted was the Isle of thunder daily area

Poor SW, they haven't even repaired the park from Cata and now the whole docks are going to be cratered and on fire, sheesh.
At least, it will give a good excuse to go there, it seems like such a waste for a huge, mostly unused, dock like that.

....and here comes the alliance bitching. They still won't let up about southshore. lol
So I started a Paladin alt to level as protection. Got to the dungeons and wtf has happened to leveling dungeon groups?
The party members insist on chain pulling multiple pulls together like they were in raid gear doing heroics still. In Shadowfang Keep I had to stop and yell at them that I do not have any of my AOE tanking abilities yet so if you keep doing that shit I am not taunting off you.
Zero real challenge here anymore. I remember when Deadmines was an hour long thing that could very easily wipe you when you pulled one to many mobs, and that was the beginner dungeon.
I guess I see why the LFR stuff at 90 is the way it is if this is how players have been trained to group up.

This is common place with expansions that are near the end. Most players are geared so that dungeon chain pulls are remotely challenging and fast. Remember in the beginning it was about CC and paying attention, not so much now. LFG just adds to it, gear wise. Also don't forget, most players want to chain pull to get out of there faster so they can get their valor. Some, me included, cap valor in a day.
Southshore on illidan got fucked. Alliance had no chance. That's cannon.
Yup, a lot of us remember that. All the dungeons are nerfed into oblivion. I remember when ZF was buggy, and hard as fuck. You wanna summon Gahz'rilla? Nah son, you better have that hammer from hinterlands to hit that gong. Oh, you didn't go through 50 elites to get the hammer? Well you anit ever seeing that boss.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I read the first four sentences and concluded that, let me guess, they're nerfing it. I got the two RPPM ones for my rogue and sometimes they'd go off at the same time as Dancing Steel and my Envenom would hit for like 275K even outside of Vendetta.
These are leveling dungeons though, not heroics.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
The thing is, though...
Even if you don't have your AoE tanking abilities, it seriously doesn't matter. The leveling dungeons are so stupidly easy and tuned to be ridiculously non-threatening that you don't even need tanks in them (yet tanks do the most DPS in them by FAR). Hell I'm leveling a resto shaman and I'm dpsing for most of the encounters and throw out a heal once in a while and we're never in danger of anything. I've hit level 41 yesterday and it's still this way.

Wait till the healers got theirs zonal heals, most of the DPS goes suicidal and start pulling, slow tanking is gone just go running and start pulling like crazy.
Yeah, the only reason DPS pull like crazy in lvling dungeons isnt because they love to annoy the tanks, its because the dungeons are so fucking easy, especially with heirloom gear, that there is no need to worry about death even if they get hit. You have to blame Blizzard on this one for not making these dungeons that simple, or for making heirlooms that ridiculously OP.
Did the BC dungeons get nerfed too? Please say no so I can laugh at all the dead DPS when I get to those.

I don't believe they were but with all the different abilities we have now and way stats work and such they definitely aren't all that hard. Right before MoP I went and ran a couple dungeons as a Death Knight at around level 60-63 and you can blow right through them. I was really concerned and taking things a little slower since I hadn't tanked as a DK before but they were pulling extra stuff while I tried to be a bit more cautious and it made little difference as there was never any real risk of anyone dying.
No, the BC dungeons are the same, but, that doesn't mean things aren't different. You can get heirlooms for about half your equip slots and classes have been redesigned so many times at this point that the simple fact old dungeons like that haven't changed makes them pushovers. Especially by the time you get to BC dungeons because tanks are going to be doing crazy damage, if anything DPS is just dead weight the higher level you get into dungeons. A typical BC dungeon run as a tank involves pulling multiple packs at a time and AOEing them down, doing more damage than the DPS, and if they don't have heirlooms probably more damage than all of them combined.
It's rare that any pre-MoP dungeon will take more than 20~ min, and that'd likely be due to the dungeon being a long walk rather than hard.
Heroic Scenarios/Challenge Modes at max level are where the legitimately difficult 3-5 man stuff is. Not impossible, but you need to be on top of things to get Gold or w/e.
Considering a lot of the city geometry is out of place this is probably related to Garrosh's visions in the final fight and doesn't actually happen.
