Pretty sure I saw the ring. BMAH is coming back, just not sure T3 will be rotated out or not. What makes me sad is T0 pants still missing (heirlooms don't count as they don't have the set bonus listed).

Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
In general, yes. The first zone or two would only be better if you're leveling a new character that didn't get any last-tier raid gear.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I am hopeful that when I log on thursday night it won't be too crazy, since the midnight launchers and folks who stayed home that day will already be well passed tanaan/frostfire. My memory is fuzzy but I don't remember having any issues in Jade Forest on the day Mists launched after getting home from work.
I am pumped. Early mists was a largely solo endeavor for me as most of my WoW buddies skipped mists at launch and only got into it later. This time everyone is ready to rock out the gate, this weekend should be full of heroic dungeons and ashran silliness. Can't wait!

I don't remember too many problems with Mists. My server is high pop so there was lag and some hiccups, but I remember playing for hours on launch night just fine.

Hmm. Will have to think about that.
In other news, my Stormspire/Consortium payment finally went through today, so I have access to their paid forums/guides. Nothing of particular value I've looked at so far, but that doesn't mean there won't be something early in WoD that's good. The full-fledged guide they have is outdated (5.4), and didn't really contain anything I didn't already know. Might have some stuff of note once it gets updated for WoD. I think the private forums will be more useful though once WoD starts to get into full swing, especially during the first few critical days/weeks.
Also, I now have 40 minutes of pure crafting to go though. *sigh*
Don't. Look for other people.

I have not been in a guild for like three years.
It gets awful lonely sometimes.
Why not join a fun guild or something? There are quite a few guilds which don't have any requirements, they just invite you, and everyone can do what they want to do.
Had to look this up to be sure, but the Rings haven't appeared in the BMAH.
There's not much point anyways.
Almost anyone going after T3 gear is doing it for Transmog.
Plus, the T3 stuff was still showing up in the Beta, so you're safe there.
On that subject though, here's a short list of NEW stuff to appear on it come WoD:
-More Mounts (mostly Pandaria rare boss drops, old ZG mounts, old TCG mounts)
-More Pets (mostly Pandaria rare boss drops and more TCG stuff)
-High-level gear (Raid gear up to Mythic, PvP Gear, etc.)
-Grimoire of the Four Winds - Teaches an alt flying in Pandaria...if you feel like spending 10k+ on it for some reason.
-More shirts and tabards - Not as if you had enough of these!
-Kor'kron Shaman's Treasure - Should RNG totally shit on you in SoO.
the mount is already a low drop chance so they will stay the same

Thanks. I didn't know that. Have Thunder Isle/Shado-Pan and Klaxxi done. I guess I'll see if Skywall resets tomorrow.
Anyone know if the portals in the Shrine are staying? My guess is no, based on other expansions, but I don't remember Blizz saying anything. From the little time I spent in Beta, there will be no reason to be at the shrine. SW will be your starting base until you get a garrison.

So I've come to a sad conclusion:
This will be the first WoW expansion that I don't buy.
I quit playing over a year ago not because I found the game boring but because I wanted to start playing other games and getting some variety, and I just wasn't spending enough time with WoW to make it worth the $12.99 / mo that I was paying. I recently got a free week from Blizzard by email so I've been toying around Azeroth again for the past week, and there are many improvements. The game is still damn fun, and I love it, and I'd love to play it for a few hours per week again casually, BUT a few hours a week is not worth $156 per year to me, plus $40 for a new expansion. It's just not.
If the game went F2P or even had the monthly rate reduced substantially then hell yeah I'd be playing again in a second. I'd love to just casually do pet battles and quest everywhere trying to get Loremaster, I've never minded missing out on content simply because I don't have the time to do everything in game. The investment just isn't worth it to me anymore. And that saddens me, as I've bought and played every expansion so far. Some I've played sparingly (Cata), others I've played hundreds of hours in. Ten years ago I was a better than average raider pushing into the likes of MC, BWL, and all the Burning Crusade raids. As the game evolved I switched to a more casual style of play, and gradually slowed down so much as to justify cancelling my subscription.
It's not that I don't want Warlords of Draenor, it's just that I can't justify the expense of playing it nor the time required to make that expense worth it.
And that makes me a bit melancholy.

10 years of doing anything is a long timeof doing it for anyone.
It's been 3 years I've played and I still feel it.
There's not much in terms of getting a deal on the expansion pack itself, but it's fairly easy to get sub time cheaply. Paid $50 for 6 months, so $8.33 per month.
And yeah, this too. Just quit whenever you want to stop or run out of stuff to do. Re-sub when there's enough content patches to make it compelling again. Wait for another expansion if necessary and just do WoD + next expansion together. There's no reason to maintain a sub or turn WoW into a chore BECAUSE REASONS.
It always has been!
nah nah nah man, we literally skip levels now, or at least did for 70-80. The new dungeon exp revision makes it so we got like 600k exp at the end, making us hit like 77 and then instantly ding 78 right away. It's crazy.
Yeah I do it that way. I rarely play more than 2-3 months at a time and just come back whenever I feel like it or a interesting patch drops.
MoP was an exception since patches came fast, but I've probably never been playing a whole year, much less paying for it.
Play what you want, quit when you want, and come back when you want. What's the obligation.

Deals like that are on ebay fairly often.
Everyone gets it. Its already in the game.

I might have to dual-box RAF again sometime. Always amusing to take two prot paladins and just massacre dungeons
You can't really screw up a level 90, but I agree if you are just starting go for the standard battle chest and have fun!
Don't be worried about doing stuff right or wrong for awhile. Obviously if you want to raid or pvp at the level cap that's stuff you can research, but the game is very fun to just get lost in as a beginner.

You can change your 'build' anytime for next nothing so you shouldn't worry about that.

I have no clue which character to main, i got a shaman, warrior, monk and a paladin!! What the heck do i pick, feeling strong feelings towards the paladin and shaman though
Lol, friend of mine returns to WoW after a few months. Immediately goes into Firelands and gets Flametalon of Alysrazor.
Why does that never happen to me?
Anyway, I decided to jump back in today as well. I was wondering if we can still get that lvl 90 after WoD launches. I currently don't have the money to buy it

I'm honestly kind of surprised so many people aren't sure what to level first. Do that man people switch mains between each expansion? I've always just had a main, and everyone else is an alt, and even alts have priorities.

If you're referring to the boost, the boost will be available when you want to use it. It's also available as a paid character service, so I imagine it's like a free (or $10) version of that that comes with each box of WoD.
Yea I switched from priest at launch to a shaman in 2007 and have only played my shaman since then. Just too busy with career/life to play another class. I can imagine now is a great time to switch classes though. For me it's a no go because I don't want to regrind trade skills, buy all the flying mount training, etc.
Builds heh. You can't screw anything up in WoW, just enjoy. Read the sticky to learn how to play your class on the class forum and you're golden.

This is how we get hunters with intellect gear
Well I did edit to read the class sticky on his respective forum. Do that and ezpz.
Trade skills have zero combat perks, and flying is chump change. Playing multiple classes is pretty easy as long as you learn it. Playing them in raid though is another challenge.
If ele is flat bottom (come highmaul), and not really worth a shit in a raid, I'm switching asap. I don't have a main, because I can't main one class. Also, I would never main a shaman for everything. They are fucking terrible mechanically in pvp, and just not fun when it comes to solo content. I will most likely play shaman, monk, dk, and druid. I have a 90 lock, and I doubt ill ever play it. If I level a warrior or priest to 100 I might throw them in the rotation at one point.
Oh yea? What am I looking at for all the flying feats nowadays? 6k or so? That used to be a chunk of change but maybe things have changed. For the tradeskills I just like having max herb/alch but admittedly that's less important than flying.
Would the new character get the mounts I have on my shaman?
Another thing is flightpaths, portals, stuff like that has me thinking it would not be the best idea. But I am fairly happy with my shaman anyway.
Well you don't need mop flying anymore so you can just toss that.
Tradeskills can be leveled in wod from level 1. No need to ah grind.
Yes, your new characters can use the mounts unless they are profession/pvp based.
Thanks that's good info to give to my buddy who will also be returning after a few years off. I'll probably stick with my shaman bc I am so comfortable with the class.
All of them? Maybe I will finally pick up some useful professions and become self-sufficient
Yes, and you can make high level recipes from level 1 except like the toppest of the top tier ones.
