World of Warcraft |OT6| This wolf still has teeth

So yesterday I went and tried BRF the first time, and wow I can't believe how much fun the boss fights are.

The Franz and Hans Orcs are the best, as an Austrian I love me some good Arnold Schwarzenegger-ish English. It's freaking hilarious.

By the way are there any requirements to get the S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera mission or is it pure RNG if it shows up or not?

PS: I went and updated myself on the GAF Player list. I am marked Blue as Horde tho in the faction tab but I can't change the fill color for some reason.

As far as I know, its pure RNG. As soon as I logged in, I had it. After I finished it, I had one for a filter add-on. I finished that one and it turned the camera into a toy for the toy box.

Seems RNG, I've had it show up on two characters, but not on the other 5 yet.
 
I've been stuck on an eternal boat ride for the last 20 minutes.

Seriously regret re-subbing. Never once had I had issues w/ servers when I quit back in SoO.

Now I get constant lag spikes for 30 seconds to 2 minutes at a time per lag spike every 2-5 minutes. I've been lagged off the servers twice in the past 30 minutes completely.

This game is a PoS now. How is Blizzard getting away w/ this?

Tonight is really bad from a DDoS attack I think. I've had some server stability issues lately but it's not normally that bad

Got the ore trader this morning, so set up a custom group with auto-invite so people can come and use it. Must've had hundreds of people through in the last 30 minutes alone. I can't handle all this socialising!

Kromog seems a little overtuned for 'tourist mode.' Especially when compared to the two bosses before it. I ran it with 7 alts, rarely lost anyone on Hanz and Flamebender but usually lost half the raid on Kromog if we even killed it. Only one group one shot it as my other alts groups got the kill at 3-4 stacks of Determination.

Keep in mind, I'm strictly referring to tuning in the LFR environment.

Edit: South Wind Drake get. Between this and Experiment, I'm getting all the ugly/nothing special mounts and none of the unique model ones.

Yeah Kromog will definitely be nerfed. I tanked it on my alt and was getting rekt pretty hard because the other one didn't stack on me.

The Horde part of Hyjal Summit is terrible. Enemies are so damn slow appearing, and if I didn't have a couple of ranged abilities despite being melee, I'd be screwed with those gargoyles.

Edit: THE FUCK. And then randomly, on "wave 8", all the NPCs despawn and Thrall says we've failed. Fuck sake.

Finally got my hunter to 100 yesterday and bought him HC Treads of the Veteran Smith, but other than that all his gear is from leveling, so I need to run some dungeons and get him to 615 so I can start running lfr and catch up from there..
I also need to learn BM since it seems like it seems like the default class now

He's a boosted character so I have 600 Enchanting and Engineering, got the profession buildings plus the Bunker, Barn and a Trade Post
Hopefully I can make some money from Enchanting, it doesn't seem like it takes a lot to make the enchants that sell for a decent amount on the AH or am I wrong?

P.S - Looking for a horde guild with decent progress on a European PvE server with mid-high pop

Enchanting makes a lot of money. I have 5 alts with enchanting buildings that net me around 7 temporal crystals daily, that I just sell for 300g each. They used to sell for 700g, but the price has dropped a lot. With one character your cooldown and building should produce 500-600g worth of stuff daily, which isn't bad.

This is my least favorite raid for farm for transmog.

Definitely a good feature of 6.1. The auto invite group finder groups make a lot of things, like finding an enchanting hut, much nicer.

Haven't run into a failure, but it's definitely one of the most boring old raids since you can't speed up/group up all the trash waves.

Your first wave failed to spawn.

Happens sometimes.
 
Does the Holy Paladin ability Denounce really work on raid bosses? I've been spamming it in my down time from healing in raids, and the debuff actually appears but I was surprised that the debuff was applying. It actually works?

Wouldn't matter. Tanks can't get crit in raids because of their passives and raid bosses do not crit with spells by design.

Would be interesting to see it /sit and denounce debuff will prevent crits though.

I must have missed a memo. How does this feature work?

Thanks. I've been raiding a month or so but it's been 3-years since I played and a lot of those finger points have been forgotten.

Tanks were never supposed to be crit in raids anyway. Before they could be crit, if they forgot to wear their tanking gear with +defense on it (or if you were a bear, because there was no leather with +def originally).

It could allow a non-tank to serve as an off-tank, provided that you can afford to dedicate a spot solely to keeping up the debuff and the off-tank will be doing substantially more DPS than a tank spec would (which isn't really the case now).

So I ran the trio of Hyjal Summit, Sunwell and Black Temple. Bit of a slog in places..

Came away with:

Grotesque
Sunblade Micro-Defender
Fragment of Desire

3 down, 9 to go! This is going to be fun.

Also got Music Roll: The Burning Legion from Illidan.

I agree, having just done it, it is definitely a little more difficult than it should be given the relative ease of everything to come before it. I will say I think player idiocy when confronted with a unique or different mechanic (even something as simple as standing IN the glowing spot as opposed to out of it) plays a part as well. Same raid had people who couldn't grasp the idea of running to the group instead of away when targeted with that meteor thing on the Flamebender fight either.

On BRF so far, the fights in the two LFR parts that are open are infinitely more interesting than those in Highmaul. I'm really thinking I need to find a guild to do the normal versions with. Getting that itch that LFR alone isn't scratching enough.

Oh my, DMF is completely broke on my server atm. People are phasing in and out constantly and I've been hanging out beside the pet battle NPCs for around 10 minutes now but they haven't spawned in yet. Occasionally getting 3-4 second lag spikes as well. Was honestly looking forward to racing...

Oh well, hopefully will sort itself out later in the day.

Rogue yey or ney? Another class i wanted to try out also for a longtime.

One of my least favorite melee classes, personally. Stealth is fun, but the energy system isn't. I found WW to be a more fun version of the rogue in PVE. PVP is a little different.
