time for people to start removing 'probably' from 'probably fake' whenever they see a 'blizzcon leak' from now until the end of next week. People didn't even accurately predict Starcraft II.

I haven't played a Warrior since the early days of BC, they can dual wield 2 handers these days right? Wondering if I should grab a second Arcanite Reaper BoA. Have 4k justice points just collecting dust on my hunter.

Yeah, fury warriors get titan grip sometime around the late 30's-mid 40's.

I'm betting on a new class this time around because of the model updates.

I just hope its not a demon hunter. I'd like my Warlock to get more Illidari abilities.

Locks already have like the best ability effects, pets, spell effects IMO.

I am really hoping for some good rogue changes, GC has said that rogues have been the least played class since launch and the number goes down every expansion. Personally, game needs more tanks, give rogues a tanking tree.

At this point in the game, there are a few large issues with implementing the classic Warcraft 3/illidan style demon hunter as a playable class. The main two are the fact that a lot of the iconic demon hunter abilities are already warlock skills, and the second being that the next new class pretty much has to be a ranged weapon user, and the warcraft demonhunters were always melee focused.

I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to invent a lore justification for some sort of ranged demonhunter offshoot that is somewhat similar to the Diablo 3 style demonhunter, though. Depending on what the next expansion ultimately is, it could either be some previously unknown Draenei or Orcish sect from pre-legion Draenor, or a new discipline that Alleria and Turaylon bring back from whatever shenanigans they've been up to on other alien worlds.

all i care right now is that blizz implements more quality of life shit, there should be a ton of stuff thats account bound. including flight points, currencies, have some sort of follower like in d3 for single player leveling, i dont care just make the game easier to level please. i am crazy but i kinda want skills to be a bit minimal. i love that i have freedom to put whatever i want on my skill bars but just limit the amount of skills i have, i find myself clicking around sometimes because in certain exact moments i need a skill that is important enough for it to still be in my skill bar but generally dont need often, it frustrates me since i kinda like a clean UI.

EDIT: so i just got to pandaria for the first time ever lol, its almost night and day compared to the rest of WOW.

Reminds me of everybody calling the D3 teaser a WoW expansion announcement.

Keeping an eye on this thread over the week for last-minute speculation. I may not play WoW anymore, but I'd be lying if I said this isn't Blizzard's chance to possibly reel me back in.

we just killed heroic garrosh us 1st on 10 man, right in time for blizcon

Congratulations!

My guild is still struggling on spoils HM, way behind schedule. There are already two guilds in our server with a Garrosh 10 HM kill since last week. If we didn't have so many problems with our roster we may have not killed him yet, but we would be closer!

How much are you raiding? My guild does 9 hours a week and we just got to Malk HC.

I don't get it, can someone who plays Pokemon and whatever that whale is explain?

Also, God damn Nightmare Asylum... Tons of call outs on their raiders who didn't perform!
http://na-guild.enjin.com/home

News post, looks like lots of drama!

I may or may not write a small blog post about how fucking terrible we were this tier, that remains to be seen. We lost about 10 raid days this tier due to DDOS Attacks on our members by elements within our own guild, bad recruits who slept through raids and don't have cell phones, and overall bad play from a few members that we expected better from. Even though we lost 10 days of raiding, during Klaxxi progression we did a huge restructure of our raid group mid-tier.

We replaced an under-performing tank with a competent one, we dropped a Shaman Healer from our roster who was irresponsible and I switched from Shadow to Discipline full-time, we kicked the Elemental Shaman who was DDOSing us -- preventing us from raiding several nights, and we had our star Enhancement Shaman Jkww return from a raiding hiatus to prog Garrosh with us as our 10th raider on roster. We managed to gear him up from 539 iLvL in two raid clears and he killed Heroic Garrosh with two 540 Weapons.

How does kicking a player prevent them from DDOSing another? I assume we're talking about an out-of-game DDOS, 'cause an in-game DDOS would probably accrue much greater penalties.

Officially we raid Sunday to Thursday two hours each night. So 10 hours a week. Although we extend it if we see a boss is going to die in the next couple of tries or if we all are ok to clean as much as we can so we can start giving the next boss tries earlier.

I'm sort-of jealous of guilds that can afford to raid so little. We do fourteen hours a week - four chunks of 3:30 - but it's sort-of necessary given that our raiders tend to skew older and therefore generally have a few real-life things to contend with in a given night. It doesn't help that we're in a guild that spans several timezones (3 hours, I think), so it's asking quite a commitment from the eastern Europe ones to work at a time convenient to the British ones, and vice versa.

That said, we're progressing well at our own rate for our server (in the top 20, which is our general target these days), so it works for us - but the safest way to evade burnout is to avoid the game pretty much completely during the off-nights!

I'm kind of confused by that pic, why is it outside with airships? I've done the garrosh fight and other than the realm of y'shaarj teleports, it's underground.

Same here, I think our age averages out in the mid 30s :p
It's a bit of a bitch to find out that our main two tanks and a healer all have evening shifts on a raid night.

Heroic only phase I believe.

That's pretty much the trouble we're having on our roster. We have people with young children, hospital workers with their shift changes sometimes, another one that works on a night club and raids before he goes to work, etc

Do you guys switch people in and out a lot? Like not a consistent 10 man? I only ask because 14 hours is a lot of time.

As said, we're constrained by schedules. I'd say there's maybe five players we can absolutely rely on to both attend and be able to stay for the entire evening. There's some who can only guarantee presence before 9pm (our scheduled break); some who can only do so afterwards. There's people who might have every intent to raid with us, but their crappy internet packs in. My cotank can only do three out of four days, I spend the fourth usually with an alt-tank.

Heroic's got nothin' on the planning, diplomacy and scheduling required here! :)

(As an aside, I do keep toying with the notion that there's potentially a game based around running a guild. Should I ever return to games coding, I might pursue that notion)

New class is totally gonna be "Void Ranger", a ranged branch of Ethereals that hunt demons and their hated void enemies throughout the twisted nether.

my friend's grandpa knows a woman at the retirement home who's son went to high school with chris metzen, so my info is pretty solid.

Possible leak (another from MapleEve at MMO-Champion, who also posted some cryptic details from a Chinese localization staff member). Regarding the timeline in Warlords of Draenor:

Patch 6.3
The True Horde

战歌部落最终杀死了耐萨里奥,虽然这不是最理想的结果,而加洛什 也获得了耐萨里奥身上残存着的一部分上古之神力量。 在战歌真正统一了德拉诺,浴血了死亡之翼之后,战歌氏族正式改名 为铁血部落。 而离加洛什的最终计划,也只有一步之遥

Doesn't seem too farfetched.

It seems incredibly farfetched, because having Garrosh be the end boss of raids 2 xpacs in a row would be the botch of the century.
