Support NeoGAF

[Deg]

I hit level 41 today.

Brought a wolf to ride on the last level. Game seems even better now. Only prob is warriors who suprise stun me.

 

[Megafoo Chavez]

Sorry, I just really hate shamans. As a rogue, all they do is kite me to death. Not as badly as hunters, but pretty close. Plus switching targets to take care of your stupid, annoying totems removes combo points and just makes me /angry.

Plus with any sort of lag, as long as you run in a straight line, I'll never catch you.

Rogue review better be godly! ><

so rogues can stun you, do the most dps on you AND bridge the gap easily between themsevles and casters/hunters?


roll another class

 

[Deg]

Anyone know of a good add on for extra buttons?

I have run out of buttons on the default UI and need suggestions for something that allows for much more buttons. I am using many addons and they are pretty good! One of the strong points of this game.

My class is hunter.

 

[Megafoo Chavez]

just use ctmod

As far as PvP goes, Warriors do more damage.

You need more buttons? I've found the default bars by Blizz to be more than enough to accomodate playing Hunter.

Corpse bug, it's kinda rare, but sometimes you just have to log and log back in, then you'll be able to go to your corpse and rez.

 

[Buggy Loop]

<_<

A corpse bug this long after the game's release? sheesh blizzard.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

gayelf druid

Okay, I guess NeoGAF really is 2nd grade.

 

[Sirpopopop]

NeoGAF is not 2nd grade.

Then why are you posting here?

Okay, I guess NeoGAF really is 2nd grade.

I'm glad you came to this stunning revelation. I was worried we might have lost you if things actually became civil again.

 

[fallout]

A corpse bug this long after the game's release? sheesh blizzard.

Actually, I've only ever seen it happen after this patch. In fact, I've had it happen 3 times since the patch.

Then why are you posting here?

I've often wondered this reading his posts. He hates everything everyone here says and he seems miserable all the time. Doesn't really bother me (it used to, I guess), but now it just confuses me more than anything.

 

[Ramirez]

lmfao...

 

[krypt0nian]

He makes me giggle. Like a joke character who isn't in on the joke.

I use plenty of trinkets and stuff.

Log off and on again so you can ressurect where you died. Temp fix.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

Haven't seen much talk of 45 min Baron in this thread. I'll copy and paste what I said on the wow forum.

---

Completed this earlier today on my second try. It was definitely the most fun I've ever had with WOW.

First try we went with no buffs or potions, and we were 30 seconds short. Second try, we got super buffed up, took tons of consumables, and gave 10 potions to each member. We destroyed the instance in 35 minutes.

For reference, our group was a warrior, druid, paladin, mage and priest (me). I was wearing the very best blues (since I don't raid often), and the rest of my group was fairly epiced up.

It's incredibly challenging, fun and rewarding. While my group was fairly epic and quite above the target audience for this sort of quest, I definitely feel anyone with skill could demolish this with a skilled group of players in blues. You just have to be willing to pony up for Flasks, potions, and elixirs.

People need to stop acting like you should be given rewards the first time you do something. The best videogames aren't like that.

 

[SaitoH]

I really enjoyed it myself:

^_~

That says it all. Took two tries, but we did it with 5 minutes to spare. Everyone was in blues but myself (priest). I did all the pulling, getting the hunter, and warrior to sub a few times while I drank. We did the baroness, spider, maleki route and I never stopped pulling.

Warrior, pally, priest, hunter, rogue.

Tons of fun. I'd actually like to see more quests like this.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

I definitely want to see more quests like this.

For reference, we pulled Spider, Baroness then Maleki. The pulls right after the trap after the Spider are really prone to fuck-ups, so we just went the other route from Baroness to Maleki. There is a little more to pull, but it's very clean and easy. After Maleki, the Paladin bubbled up and we all did a suicide run past the gates, and the Paladin DIed me. I rezzed and we continued. Saved a ton of time.

Check out how many buffs I used. The warrior also had a Flask of the Titans. 45 minute Baron is serious business.

 

[SaitoH]

Damn.

I just brought Mana pots and nightfin soup. Oh and everyone had a major shadow pot for the Baron.

>_>

DI'ing is a good idea, though the route we go tends to leave the route from Maleki to the gate pretty much cleared before we even fight him.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

We've been practicing this (few ZG/MC epics) and we plan on going whole hog on the pots when we go for a serious run, too. (no DCs...no DCs...no DCs...)

If you need that many buffs to do a 30 mins baron run, you'Re clearly in the average field of players

 

[Ramirez]

The gauntlet has been put down! :lol

 

[Boomer]

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol


Anyway we tried it once with a priest, warrior, rogue and 2 warlocks. Got to the Baron with less than 5 seconds left and we were out of mana.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

It's not about how many I needed to do it, it's about overdoing it and guaranteeing victory from the start.

You don't need 6 warriors in full tier 2 to clear BWL in 4 hours, but it's certainly better than not having the gear.

 

[Ramirez]

Haven't been able to connect all day,gg.

 

[SaitoH]

Been trying on and off for a couple hours. Good Tomb Raider Legend time though.

>_>

 

[Ramirez]

Lawl,get connected finally and my server isn't up,it's been off and on the entire past week,getting a little irritating.

 

[Fularu]

Again 6 wrath geared warriors in bwl is detrimental to the raid, cause you know, wrath sucks for anything beyond tanking

 

[Deg]

Again maintenance day and server is down with no notice. Good stuff Blizzard. They have list of realms affected but they are supposed to be working anyway. My server isnt on the list is assume everything should be fine save for inherent lag as always. Cant log into server.

Poor. Very poor. Its amazing how stingy a company can be.

 

[shoplifter]

Hilarious, account management has been broken for almost two full days now :lol

 

[Ramirez]

Annnnd Duskwood bites the dust out of the blue,hooray for new hardware!

 

[ManaByte]

Yup, my server is gone as well with nothing in the Realm Status or anything. It's just...gone.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Looks like I picked the right time (last week) to leave the game. :lol

 

[SaitoH]

World of Warcraft Accounts Closed - Ordinn on 4/12/06
In keeping with Blizzard's aggressive stance against cheating in World of Warcraft, we have since patch 1.10 banned over 5,400 accounts and suspended 10,700 more for participating in activities that violate the game's Terms of Use, including using third-party programs to farm gold and items. Such actions can severely impact the economy of a realm and the overall game enjoyment for all players.
We will continue to aggressively monitor all World of Warcraft realms in order to protect the service and its players from the harmful effects of cheating. Please note that selling World of Warcraft content, such as gold, items, and characters, can result in a permanent ban of the involved accounts from World of Warcraft.

Many account closures come as the direct result of tips reported to our GMs in game or emailed to hacks@blizzard.com by legitimate World of Warcraft players. If you suspect that a World of Warcraft player is using an illegal third-party program to farm gold or items, or is otherwise violating our Terms of Use, please report the suspected infraction via one of the means listed above. All reports will be investigated, and those that prove false will not result in corrective action.

Thank you for your continued support, and good luck with your adventures in Azeroth!

-Blizzard Entertainment

Wondering if new security software in the 1.1 patch was causing all the problems? They've managed to stop the teleportation hackers for the time being.

 

[epmode]

Not really, the farmers can level a character to 60 in a week. There were lots of hunters in DM last night, even.

 

[SaitoH]

I heard they stopped the hack, but after a quick check:

forget what I said ...

 

[dave is ok]

Again 6 wrath geared warriors in bwl is detrimental to the raid, cause you know, wrath sucks for anything beyond tanking

And BWL has so many encounters where a tank can dps and not have to worry about tanking. :lol

 

[Ramirez]

LoL@lvl 46 hunters in DM...fuckin farmers.

 

[Deg]

Dire Maul is an instance?

 

[explodet]

Dire Maul is an instance?

Yes, Dire Maul is in Feralas. It's got 3 wings, like the 4 at the Scarlet Monastery. Stuff that drops there is for people in the mid to high 50's and those at 60.

 

[SaitoH]

Getting there!

 

[LukeSmith]

Haha, you're very funny. NOT!

If you want me to, I could go into an in-depth explanation of why shamans need a vast talent reimagining, but I doubt someone who wets their bed late at night over crackpot conspiracy theories would actually get it. I guess I'll have to try with a basic explanation.

Shamans are naturally just a very strong class with lots of different innate ways to kill someone. The problem is talents don't really help them in PVE (see: having to spec more than 35 points in resto just to get the effective pve talents - mana tide and purification) and if you spec so heavily into resto that you can't get some talents that help you keep with the Jones' at level 60, you are effectively fucked in pvp.

I'm a resto specced shaman, and I've specced so heavily into it that I can't even get the talent for 2h weaps. All I get out of the resto tree are some marginal improvements that don't compare to what druids/priests/paladins get. Even worse, some of the talents we have to spec into just to get mana tide have pretty much offer no use in the game at all.

0/5/46, right?
That's the PvE spec a lot of our Shamans use.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

The biggest reason I left WoW is simply the snail-like pace in releasing content, bugfixes, and general updates.

For example, here is today's EQ2 patch

*** Headlines ***

- Celebrate the holidays as the Brew Day Festival comes to Norrath!
- Recruit new guild members easily with the new guild recruitment system!

- Rasel Alechaser needs your help to make the perfect brew beyond the portals.
- Seek out your local bartender if you wish to purchase tasty spirits.

*** Guild Recruiting ***

- Now recruiting for your guild in EverQuest II is even easier!

- In this tab, you can enter a number of pieces of information that will help you recruit for your guild:
* Short Description
* Full Description

* Looking for: Fighters, Priests, Scouts, Mages, Tradeskillers
* Play Style: Standard, Casual, Hardcore
- You may also select up to four Descriptive Tags from the following set:

*** Lyceum of Abhorrence ***

- The Lyceum was once a quiet retreat for followers of Harla Dar to study and enhance their abilities, but the Amygdalan have now taken the island and remade the Lyceum into a ghastly shadow of its former glory. Those droag not killed were transformed into horrible abominations, persisting even past death to learn from their new masters.
- Welcome to the Lyceum of Abhorrence, a new raid zone available in the Kingdom of Sky.
- Brave adventurers fluent in the Draconic tongue should seek out Zhaviz Ne'pasda in Tenebrous Tangle for more information on this deadly dungeon.


*** Rise in Orc Activity ***

- As discovered by Captain Arellius of the Freeport Militia, the Brokentusk and Lonetusk orcs in the Ruins recently acquired new weapons and armor from the Rujarkian tribe based in the Desert of Ro. The captain's report raised concerns that other orc tribes may form similar supply treaties.
- It appears the worst fears of the Militia have been realized. Field officers are reporting that other tribes of orcs are now utilizing Rujarkian armaments in battle.
- Scouts have confirmed that this includes Bloodskull orcs in the Commonlands; Ree orcs in the Wailing Caves; and the Vallon, Tallon, and Deathfist tribes in the Orcish Wastes and Deathfist Citadel. It is unknown at this time if any additional tribes have followed suit.
- This orc aggression must not be allowed to go unchecked. Adventurers are encouraged to take up arms against these savage beasts. Any sort of alliance formed by these previously disparate factions represents a significant danger to all of Norrath.

Wailing Caves:

- Great new treasures await those willing to risk certain peril.

- Lord Ree has ordered that his gauntlet of spikes be repaired. Watch your feet!

- While mentoring, you may not make hostile acts against another player or player pet, nor can you perform beneficial actions upon any player or player pet that is hated by another player.
- PvP players can now use the /emote command, which can be seen by players of the same alignment.

*** UI Files Updated ***

eq2ui_mainhud_map.xml

Playing EQII, I really feel a ton more justified in paying a monthly subscription, because I really do feel the devs are doing their best to add an insane amount of content in the game. I'd like to point out that EQII and WoW came out around the same time, and if you were to compare the "upkeep" of the two, you'd think it was SOE that were raking in the phat cash for having 6 million subs.

That looks just like any set of patch notes for WoW...a new raid area, some new loot and new mobs, some corny holiday, a hokey way to change the look of a character for RP'ers and dorks (OMG BARBERSHOPS!!)....

A new raid zone, a bunch of fixes, adding new mobs and items throughout older dungeons, a very awesome guild recruitment tool (checked it out earlier today), and some fluff. Yes you could say they look just like any set of WoW patch notes, except for the fact that these patches come out more than 3-4 times a year. Not to mention 2 adventure packs, 2 expansions, and monthly live events. It's not even close, really.

 

[SaitoH]

Sony Online has no choice but to do everything they can to compete with WoW. They've made an amazing amount of changes/improvements to their game since its inception. Too bad Blizzard wasn't under that same pressure.

Unfortunately for me, I still like WoW more. So here I am.

There's no one on the planet that would try to argue that WOW is updated in a timely manner and consistently introduces quality new encounters, items and changes. Who are you preaching to here?

[Fularu]

And BWL has so many encounters where a tank can dps and not have to worry about tanking. :lol

Oh let me guess...

The razorgore fight? (ping pong between two tanks)
The vael fight (the people need to be in FR gear)
The Broodlord fight? (where you basicaly have 2-3 tanks max)
The 3 dragons fights? (again 3 tanks)
Chromaggus? Where based on his abilities you need one or two tanks top
And nef? Horde needs two tanks, and you don't need to be in tanking gear to kill the 42 mobs in the begining (phase 1)

So how exactly would 6 warriors in full wrath do anything really interesting here?

You need 3 tanks for bwl, and even then, having them in Might is more than enough
