The people on the WoW forums are about as pissed as French students. Some, like Shoestring, are not impressed with the whining:
Ok keep it up guys, I am have a great laugh from those who are having the ZOMG my life is over becuase my game isnt up. Its to freaking hillarious.
I am sorry, if WoW never comes back its not going to hurt my feelings none, WHY? Because I have a life, I read books, watch videos, TV, go for walks, go to work, have a girl friend, have a normal sex life that does not include masterbating to Female Nights Elfs dancing in the fires in IF.
You guys are really cracking me up.

This is pretty ridiculous. Arguably the most popular MMORPG constantly having problems like this is unforgivable. The servers have been down all day and no explanation has been given. Some people can only play/raid certain days, you know? Why the hell am I paying them money when they can't get their shit straight?

Will Paladins someday be able to die?
I'm just staying away from them period! In WSG today 3 people including me jumped a nicely geared paladin. He bubbles, stuns me, normal crit, command crit, hammer crit and I'm dead. /bravo

Healing will be the most efficient and easiest way to get on PVP threat lists, despite the complaints of the morons on the WOW forums.SatelliteOfLove said:
I'm not making excuses (and it doesn't bother me, since I can't play right now anyway), but maybe it's because the AQ patch had less changes to the actual world environment? I dunno. Maybe they're just incompetent. :lolRamirez said:The AQ patch didn't have any delays if I recall correctly,this sucks

So, anyone have a suggestion for a free movie capturing program for making WoW movies?

no but when the event did happen the servers imploded. I kinda liked crashing and rolling back 5 times then once the gong was rung being stuck on my mount only o have the world server crash every hour for the rest of the night

They updated all the hardware for the servers. I'd imagine they ran into a problem, and with as many servers as they have, they could be done fixing it but still have to wait a few hours just to get everything stable and synchronized.
Anyway, I'd assume this downtime is driving a lot of on-the-fence people to Oblivion. I know I haven't played WOW for more than an hour this last week because of it.

I never got in, but the server shut down anyway so...Doesnt matter I guess. It just really sucks. Today was Convocation Day at my college so all my classes were canceled. And what did I do with my day? Sit at my computer waiting...And waiting...And waiting...

All I know is...I am going to bed soon. Then I am going to class in the morning. If I come back from class, and the servers still aren't up, I'm going to be pretty angry.
Have you been playing long? Add-ons never work after a patch. I imagine all this downtime will only the delay the upgrade of outdated user mods...
I wouldn't expect WoW to be fully playable until Thursday or so (and that's assuming that you have a popular, frequently updated mod).

I know I sure as hell don't play on the weekends barring early saturday morning while the wife is in the shower or sunday evenings before I go to bed, I have other shit I'd rather be doing.
Well, the majority of playing is still done on the weekends.shoplifter said:
Whether or not missing a Tuesday night is really that awful depends what portion of the game you are in, I guess. If you are at 60, there's almost nothing you can do that doesn't require a 2-3 hour time investment (Arathi Basin is okay). If the game is not playable on a weeknight I really don't care that much.....all it does is save me from getting sucked into an UBRS group that won't end until 1 AM, leaving me groggy at work the next morning.
meh, we'll probably get full rested experience, and 1-2 days of free time added on to our accounts.
I've been playing oblivion anyway... so it hasn't affected me much. But I do hope my server's back up in time for the first half of BWL we're running tomorrow night.
edit: also, most addons may actually be updated in time for them to actually get their new hardware up and running. It's not too hard to edit the interface files offline, especially with some ideas of the new changes to UI coding with the patch - ctmod and raidassist are already updated, for example.
ah, and speaking of ctmod, here's a fun site for those of you who want to plan out your gear, list your current gear, talent spec, etc. and show it (although it doesn't give you an actual view of what your character will look like): www.ctprofiles.net

Yeah Hunters have had afew bad surprises not mentioned in the change list. Need to play more and decide. Stupid thing to do by Blizzard. If i had known about these changes i probably wouldnt have taken Hunter Class. At least in BF2 you arent stuck with a class if they make changes. Stupidity.

As a Rogue, I want that bow real, real bad. Right now I'm using the Caraspine Crossbow from UD Strat with a +7 Scope on it. All the Hunters in my guild have Gurubashi Dwarf Destroyer, so Mandokir's Sting is actually within my reach.

There's a fix for decursive floating around-I saw the bug last night in the lua ( information from tooltip was returning null) but I couldn't be farked with debugging it at 2 AM.
New priest changes are the bees knees. My healbot holy/disc spec with zero in damage boosting talents does a darn good job of bringing down mobs, and the improved with talents-and-gear PW:Shield will probably well outlive the damage from intercept/MS warriors now.
Oh, and +healing gear is waaaaay better now than it was in 1.9. I'm putting up some *fantastic* numbers with a good chunk of +heal gear just using Heal Rank 4 (not even greater heal). It's healing for almost more than my top rank FH was in 1.9 with a monstrous mana cost difference, both tangible (less spell cost) and intangible (less time spent in FSR).
The bad news-I'm the only regular small raid (ZG,AQ20) priest in the guild with Divine Spirit. My reagent cost per week has tripled.
oh and lolz hunters

What level of CTRA are you running? I'm hearing 1.53 is doing fine, I haven't been in a raid group since the patch went up but the ct mod developers say their most recent levels work.
That's assuming you aren't a total newblar and know that you need to allow outdated mods from the character select screen.
Again, Decursive does have a bug in related to the tooltips in 1.9.0, hope they get an official fix out soon because most people, even in my guild of decently intelligent people, go all stupid when it comes to installing mods.
