Welp, here is the timetable for the anniversary stuff.
Should be plenty of time to at least get 1 level 100 by then.

Holy shit trying to get a Garrosh kill group on Wednesday is worse than LFR on a Monday. SO BAD.
Must've gone through 5 groups this morning/afternoon on my lock before I got one that did it (albeit a messy kill.)
No heirloom or Black Blood though

Sounds a lot like my Garrosh kills. 15 times on Normal, two heirlooms. Black blood dropped once, but a damned pug won it. Even coined him every week I could.

I love Pokken!
I just want to point out that the Bnet app is the worst thing Blizz has ever made. Thing is just a fucking buggy mess.
Yes please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Working more on H Garrosh tonight. We managed to get to phase 3 ONCE last night, and a few wipes in Terrace. Oddly, the time we got to phase 3 is because we managed to do enough DPS to skip Terrace.
No one expected the damage from Empowered Whirling!!!
I'm planning to try PTR tonight on my Monk or Shaman to see how things are looking. I've played Beta quite a few times on my Shaman but never on my monk.
Nah, it would be a waste on me. Haven't actually played since Feb. Short version - my guild's raid team wasn't that good, decided a break is better than finding a new one.

Got these gloves from killing the Black Ox today, felt pretty awesome when they dropped ;p
Is this the highest level for items outside the legendary cloack?
Also got the thing that upgrades your timeless gear to ilvl 535 and used it on a ring I was saving just for this, but it rolled haste + mastery instead of crit like my other timeless ring

Level 86 (Feral Druid) now after a good 2-3 weeks of casually playing with my gf (Frost Mage). Shes absolutely enjoying the game, but I'm just floored with how good WoW still is. I haven't played in 6 years and its crazy seeing all the content waiting to be explored. For reference, killing Illidan and progression in Sunwell was the last time I played.
I must say, leveling is incredibly faster than before. I feel bad skipping several continents in TBC, Wotlk, and Cata cuz quest leveling and insta-dungeon queues are exp fests. I'll go back and quest when I'm 90 though. Having a blast though!
I could look it up myself, but for the sake of this being a discussion forum, what should I/we immediately start doing upon hitting 90?

That you can get outside of raiding, more or less. Ordos drops Warforged gear, which is six item levels above that. Tier pieces can't be warforged though.
The full ilvl system goes as follows...
553 = Normal gear.
559 = Warforged Normal gear.
566 = Heroic gear.
572 = Heroic Warforged gear.
And that gear can be upgraded with valor up to 4 times, granting 4 ilvl each upgrade.
Get to Timeless Isle. A page back, a map was posted of Isle's chests. Chests can contain items that create epics. By far the quickest way to gear up for LFR.
Oops. Took the 6 ilvl upgrade and flipped it to a 9 or something.

Enjoy your new Shirt collection.
Excellent news. Man, I'm so hyped for WoD. Ready for it to come out now.

Same..... but not looking forward to finding a worth while guild for progression.
I've given up on heroic raiding so I'm not sweating any of that, but yeah that is probably a drag. I remember going through it at the beginning of Wrath when I was hardcore raiding.

Awesome news...
Pet bummer...
The Iron Starlette is annoying. sadly it's noise is deafening and awful.
You should do that now, and not when wod is out because most rosters will be finalized for the most part the day of the raid opens. Doesn't even have to be a good guild as long as they completed the content. Many people on breaks, and it's easy to come in a secure a spot.
Shouldnt be hard to find something on your server. On the other hand, if you do normal, and heroic with pugs, finding a mythic guild should be easier during the expansion because you got the gear.
I farmed till 4 am for the vial of red ooze. I was about to be really mad that RNG would beat me like it did back in BC.
Awesome! You can change your face now with gold.
Megaton if there ever was one... holy shit. Thank you based god
My priest is just an alt, but the 6.0 face looks NOTHING like the current one. So glad I can change for free!
Now the only stuff you can't customize for free are skin color for certain races and sex
We actually intentionally don't skip Terrace so the healers can mana up a bit and CDs can cool off. Because of Empowered Whirling Corruption.
It's probably not the best strat since it extends the fight, but it's been working for us

PTR still isn't downloaded, but Draenei look so much better in motion. The new models are going to be excellent.
Also the seperate graphics option for raids is nice, I may tone down some stuff, though I'd rather prefer they find a way to utilize more cores on a processor or something.
On a side note, finally got Thunderfury

Grrr all this Hunter solo talk has me wanting to boost a Hunter to L90 -- but I ordered the physical CE and can't do that until WoD releases.

Water is not wet!
After playing off and on for over a week i have completed all solo questing content (and some not-solo stuff like Trial of the Naaru) in Outland. i arrived in Hellfire at level 62 and finished up Shadowmoon Valley at level 79. There are several quests left involving raids that ill come back to when i can solo it. For now though its time to head into Howling Fjord.
Was hoping to do some CMs tonight, but got nowhere...
Sigh, now I feel demotivated.
That sucks. Probably gonna bang out the rest of mine on friday. Got 3 more gems since I did the 4/9.

I dont play anymore but no more talent trees? I loved making different builds! It was so much fun as a druid or any class. Has there been an outcry for bringing talent trees back?
LAUGHTREY

Nope, it's pretty much never gonna happen. The talents are awesome, they never wanted those hybrid 41/30 specs anyway.
Nah, most of it is baked into the classes now. There's still an occasional this talent is clearly better than the other choices, but its up to play style preference, and there's a lot of talents that work better on other fights. The only problem with this system is that the hybrid classes don't have much choice. It's not bad with monks, but druids and shamans just get screwed bad.
They rightly killed those because the options were only illusory - bad players thought they had a lot of choice and ended up reinforcing their bad builds, hurting themselves. Good players had 0 choice - you knew what THE spec was.
Awesome! You can change your face now with gold.
One step closer to change our race for gold.
Please blizz.

No he's not. Mine crashes regularly, so does my wife's.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Never going to happen.
I have almost no problems with the desktop app. Only time it hasn't worked was during the DDoS stuff. Maybe try reinstalling it?
So i tired out the PTR, made a pre-made DK and Pally and headed off to the timeless isle to mess around. DPS specs seem fine, Ret and Frost were kicking butt as per normal but man Tank specs seem so fragile relative to Live.
Heals for my Pally in Ret form are 5-10k flash heals which are few in number but relatively powerful given his 45k health. but WoD and Flash heal in the same gear on the same character in Prot pect are in the 700-900 range... Just a sliver of their health. Is that intended? does it ramp up once your actually taking damage due to resolve?
I was thinking about leveling Prot in WoD but was pretty disappointed with how prot performed. Looks like i'll be going ret.

I wrote a much longer post, but I kind of wish they revisited the original talent trees.
Here's how they could do it nowadays to make it a bit less homogenized:
2 talents each tier except for every 3rd tier. 2-2-1-2-2-1, etc. Talent points given every 5 levels for a total of 20 talent points. Each row is 3 talent points, except rows 3 and 6 which are only 1.
Tier 1: Secondary stat choices (Crit, Haste, Mastery, Armor or Spirit), 1-5%. There might be overlap; Haste might be under Elemental and Enhancement, but you can't put points in the Enhancement one if you have points in the Elemental one.
Tier 2: You can only put points in a talent based on what you put points in above.
Tier 3: An ability or passive, you get this talent no matter which 'path' you went down
Tier 4: Whatever
Tier 5: Whatever, again uses the same restriction as in Tier 2.
Tier 6: An ability or passive, again you get this talent no matter which 'path' you went down. However, you cannot pick this talent if you are not the specialization that this talent lives in. (i.e. if it was in Enhancement and I was Elemental, I wouldn't be able to pick it)
I think it'd be fun to be able to put talents in Elemental as my main focus but some in Enhancement or Resto as well. It'd only be a maximum of 6 talents, which most people would put into tier 1 anyways.
We got our first few kills without skipping the Terrace. Our guild leader took some goading since he quite liked the mana & CD regen that it allowed us. So, if you need time for healing CDs & mana regen you should just do it and hang back at the start so you can regen in peace.

Just got done playing PTR, my thoughts on Arms/Fury:
Arms
Its a little awkward getting use to the rage system being pretty much the opposite of what it was. I don't think it deserves the bad rap its getting. There are two things I'd like to see changed though:
Slam should be baseline. Maybe not in its current implementation but whirlwinding is so annoying to look at. They should replace slam in the talents with improved whirlwind which does pretty much the same thing slam does now but with aoe damage increase + rage cost increase per cast, therefore you have a choice between passive play, aoe damage or single target.
Sudden needs to be smoothed out. It's either awfully streaky or very sparse, and this could lead to wide variance in dps especially if it lands in a colossus smash (might be best to glyph Colossus smash for raiding). Maybe a higher proc rate/duration with a set ICD, or a way to accumulate charges. I like the thought of weaving execute into colossus smash, but the duration usually makes this not possible, or the fear of missing out on procs due to how streaky it can be.
As far as damage goes, Arms is pretty beast. I though obliterate was critting hard until I popped recklessness, avatar and colossus smash. 9k crits seemed absurd, I wish character copy was working, would love to give it a try on my character.
Fury:
Fury is actually pretty neat, and I like the changes. Its less intimidating to new comers but still a little more complicated than Arms. I like the way bloodthirst handles, and dumping rage isn't a concern I thought it be (probably because the wild strike proc was reduced to 2 charges instead of 3). My favored talent is Sudden Death, but for players looking for that no downtime action, Unquenchable thirst works nicely. I think it could have legitimate chance at pvp this expansion, Bloodthirst hits hard now and you can let off some quick burst with the proc.
I tried DK, mostly unchanged but Unholy's diseases seem to do more damage. Frost seems exactly the same to me but I barely played it.

Never thought of it like that, that's actually a great way to look at it. We still wiped to empowered whirls. We managed to heal through it with everyone popping personal defensive cooldowns and such, but some people were not mindful of their adds killing them.
I am thinking we can get a kill Sunday if we can get there and beyond consistently. We had tons of problems with people dying in Temple
