You did a months-long honor grind, and you're now quitting the game less than a month after making HWL? And only a few months from the expansion?Mute said:
I'd love to buy a HWL character, but probably not for more than $50
I tend to see them going for like $1000 on eBay....though I get the feeling that Burning Crusade is going to kill the value of all those epic'ed out characters.Exactly. I want nothing to do with the expansion. I'm burnt out on PvP, I don't want to respec resto, I hate raiding, and I don't have the time needed to dedicate to my guild as it is. School has started so i'm busy now. I just wanted to hit HWL to say I did. It was certainly a fun 2 months.border said:You did a months-long honor grind, and you're now quitting the game less than a month after making HWL? And only a few months from the expansion?

I turned in my Nightmare Engulfed Object last night but I didn't get to read the conversation that the Dryad and Malfurion have because I was in a hurry to get back to the real world since I had to lead a Molten Core and I had people waiting on me. So does anyone have a transcript? Or a place I could go to read it? I saw Illidan, and Ysondre and Arthas mentioned, and I really enjoy the lore, so I'd like to read it.
I googled this:ToyMachine228 said:
Keeper Remulos says: Stand near me, <playername>. I will protect you should anything go wrong.
Keeper Remulos says: Malfurion!
Malfurion Stormrage says: Remulos, old friend. It is good to see you once more, I knew that the message would find its way to you - one way or another.
Keeper Remulos says: It was shrouded in nightmares, Malfurion. What is happening in the dream? What could cause such atrocities?
Malfurion Stormrage says: I fear for the worst, old friend. Within the Dream we fight a new foa, born of ancient evil. Ysera's noble brood has fallen to the old whisperings. It seems as if the Nightmare has broken through the realm and seeks a new home on Azeroth.
Keeper Remulos says: I sensed as much, Malfurion. Dark days loom ahead.
Malfurion Stormrage says: Aye, Remulos. Prepare the mortal races.
Keeper Remulos says: You have been gone too long, Malfurion. Peace between the children of Azeroth is tenuous at best. What of my father? Of your brother? Have you any news?
Malfurion Stormrage says: Cenarius fights at my side. Illidan sits atop his throne in the Outland - brooding. I am afraid that the loss to Arthas proved to be the breaking point. Madness has embraced him, Remulos. He replays the events in his mind a thousand times per day, but in his mind, he is the victor and Arthas is utterly defeated. He is too far gone, old friend. I fear that the time may soon come that our bond is tested and it will not be as it was at the Well in Zin-Azshari.
Malfurion Stormrage says: Remulos, I am being drawn back... Tyrande... send her my love... Tell her I am safe. Tell her... Tell her I will return... Farewell...
Keeper Remulos says: Farewell, old friend... Farewell...
Keeper Remulos says: let us return to the grove, mortal.

This is my easiest imitation ever!
BTW, DB hacking apparently has revealed some of the new alchemy/enchant recipes. Enchant Rings finally
You know, I completely lost track of who started it. lol

I don't know how many people saw it, I certainly didn't when glancing over the rogue BC stuff, but it's quite noticeable in Blizz's new preview. Evasion rank 2 reduces chance ranged attack hit you by 50%. Between this and that silly dagger ability seems the whole Hunter > Rogue rock paper scissors is out the door.
Edit: Just checked more of it out and alot of stuff is already different than what leaked.

Unless hunters get some pretty sweet talents/spells (they won't), they're going to go back to being the crappiest class in the game. Shit, if we can't even kill rogues anymore, what do we have?
Hrm....looks like right now, the BC talent trees have decreased aggro reduction for the Burning Soul/Frost Channeling talents. Down from 30% to 10%.
A lot of mages are bitching about it, but realistically.....it just means we won't be able to go all out as soon as the attack call is made. We'll just have to scale damage, no problems for me.
Besides, now there's a chance of having BoS *AND* Tranquil Air at the same time, hehe.

Thanks to the internet I took a little run around some of the alpha version of the expansion. Only really finished area was the blood elf starting zone with surrounding areas, which I must say is gorgeous. Looks like it connects to northern part of eastern plaguelands, where all those logs are piled up. Otherwise I just had to warp around to various locations. Still, was pretty damn cool.
All the pics are half-sized.

hunter is definitely easier than shaman. at least with a shaman you have to heal occasionally, and the furthest away you're really going to hit someone is 20 yards (sure, you can lightning bolt/chain lightning from 30 yards out, but that almost never ever happens).Hero said:
edit: related to Saito's hax (just kidding on that), I have seen some screens of the inside of Karazahn and it's awesome. Way cooler than the stuff you can sneak into right now, though that bit is pretty cool too.
Actually I was running the expansion with a sandbox program.
Surprisingly the expansion is downloadable here: https://beta.worldofwarcraft.com/expansion/downloads/#none

the corrupted draenei or "The Broken" would have been such an awesome playable race. Pitty.

personally I'm making a blood elf pally on day 1*, and I've already been stockpiling mail and weapons of the eagle (and some of the owl and other stuff) so leveling's not too slow. I'm just hoping blood elf pallies get an equivalent to Verigan's Fist, then mine is basically set until level 35+, when I can give him this 2h mace I got out of a lockbox.
*day 1 as in, the first day the servers actually can handle all the people logging in for the expansion, so probably june of 07.

I seriously doubt seeing much BEs besides Pallies. Not only because its new for the Horde, but that will be a HUGE boon to get one even to fresh 60 for the raw buffs potential even in ST/BRD gear.
I'm going shadow on my Priest for the first time ever, and plan on doing smart grinding; going after low 50 elite mobs to 61 (depending on what they do to pre-61 quest turn in, rumors been flying), then hitting outland/whatever. Hopefully, we'll have Nef down and farmed by then so AQ40/early Naxx is something we do on the side for extra gear while grinding is for raw levels.

He's one of "those" that think that different player types play different factions. You know, like the fools in barrens/westfall chat.
I have a feeling that BE will be these 3 classes: Pally (obvious), Rogue, Warlock.SatelliteOfLove said:
There may also be some BE priests if it's revealed that they get fear ward. In a way I hope they do (then any raid content is truly 100% balanced between horde and alliance) and in a way I hope they don't (then all the undead priests in my guild won't feel ripped off). But yeah, the whole reason I'm leveling a BE pally in the expansion is because I actually like playing the class, and the buffs are so awesome. I couldn't twink my human pally out on another server, so it got a little slow (plus not having any of my old friends/guildies on there, it's definitely harder to meet cool people in the pre-30 alliance side) while in the expansion, I'll actually be able to get through stuff moderately quick. and it helps not having to buy a mount for this guy, either!

Does anyone actually think guilds will survive through the expansion? I can see close knit ones making it through, but the disparity that'll occur from having to level again seems it'll wipe the slate for the most part.

I think they'll atrophy just enough to fit the 25-man raiding instances
BTW, Tseric cleared up a bit on mage spells/talents:
Here are a few points regarding upcoming Talents/Abilities, in no particular order and, as usual, subject to change:
* Spellsteal will randomly grab a beneficial effect. This spell is undergoing a lot of work, because of its tricky nature, so the spell's game mechanics will change during development to reflect the intended function. For now, consider it to cast the stolen effect on the mage, so Power Word: Shield would confer the Weakened Soul effect in addition.
* Someone had asked if Arcane Potency affects the whole channeling of Arcane Missiles. It does.
* The Water Elemental is currently another source of ranged DPS. It has no duration(will only despawn on death).
* The devs are considering changing Ice Lance to make it more interesting and a more meaningful choice for DPS.
* Invisibility will wipe threat once the 8 second 'fade to invisible' effect completes. A few uses would be content bypassing, escape or preventing initial targeting in BGs.
* The Wounded state mentioned with Molten Fury means having health at 20%, same as the condition for using Warrior's Execute.
* Dragon's Breath disorient effect will break on damage. The disorient effect will only occur if damage is dealt. Creatures/Players immune to fire will not cause the disorient effect.
Invisibility now becomes pretty viable in raids, just use it a minute or two into the fight, reset your aggro and you shouldn't be able to pull it.
