what about transferring a character that isn't level 70 yet?CassSept said:
i've got a 62 shaman and a 65 druid that i really want to transfer to a PvP server. at those levels i still have many hours of world PvP to contend with before i reach 70. just make it so that you can't transfer characters above level 67, which means you HAVE to level through some world PvP content.
i reckon they should allow PvE to PvP transfers when WotLK comes out for anyone 68 and under.
This argument is dumb because you can just as easily level up on a low-pop pvp server without any issue and then transfer to a "real" pvp server if your goal is just easy levelling. It's a dumb restriction and that doesn't even make any sense when you take the case of a player levelling up on a pvp server, deciding to transfer to a pve server, and now being restricted on ever going back to a pvp server.Mr Pockets said:
It's really not that much more difficult nor does it really take that much more time to level on a pvp server vs a pve server, and they certainly don't restrict people from transferring to high pop pvp servers where you might actually have people in hillsbrad all the time from low pop pvp servers where levelling is just as easy as it is on a pve server.
I have a 70 hunter on a PVP server that I'd like to transfer to a PVE server just so I could have a character to play with some other friends occasionally, but I'd never do it because it'd lock me out of ever going back to a PVP server should I decide to.

have you ever had a PvE character that you wanted to transfer to a PvP server so you could play with friends?Mr Pockets said:
See my post above. Blizzard only need to place a restriction that characters at 67 and under will be able to transfer. When WotLK hits, make it 68 or 70 and under. that way you're forced to level up through a big chunk of world PvP content. simpleMr Pockets said:
... your opinion is WRONG.Mr Pockets said:
If leveling is so easy to do then stop bitching about not being able to transfer on a PVP server and level a new toon. Especially considering how they made 1-60 easier to level, it's pretty obvious that Blizzard has no intents on PVE->PVP server transfers except for extreme circumstances. There'd be too much backlash. Earn your stripes.
On one hand I can understand the cons of a PVE -> PVP transfer.
But at the same time since my mains are on PVP server, it's never bothered me if something like that was to occur. The big PVP guilds are a thing of the past and most, if not all, realised that the only way to stay competitive in the game was to ditch premade PVPs and delve into PVE orientated goals or split off and do Arena.
You also have to remember the fact that cross-realm Battlegroups have PVP and PVE realms thrown together.
Leveling will always be a chore on whatever realm class it is, and if you were never ganked on a PVP realm then you are either very lucky or you never left the starter areas. It's going to happen sooner or later either by a mob of people at your level or by a high level wanting to test out his/her new epic.

Where can I see Horde/Alliance ratios per server?Alex said:
I want to see what Stormscale looks like...
I think the knockbacks should knock you off cliffs to your death as long as you are playing:
Night Elf
Blood Elf
Human
just as a "screw you for making the most popular, bland choice with your character" effect.
realistically though, I doubt they can knock anyone off cliffs, which kind of sucks. I dream of finding someone afk on top of icecrown glacier and then blasting them off with a DK/shaman knockback spell so they have to spirit res.

It's not 100% accurate, like Blizzard always whines when WCR is sourced, but it's not too far off I assume. I've always found it to be pretty much correct, especially when using the tool/addon on their site to take an active census.
Also, I like Humans!

Cool, thanks! I wonder if it's an advantage or disadvantage to fun to be in the majority. You get ganked less often but you have less players to engage...Alex said:
I think if I played alliance I would be a gnome, dwarf or draenei. even though I think draenei are the most retarded race lore-wise since it literally required retconning like all of the biggest warcraft villains.
honestly the race I hate the most is blood elves. I think they've already become the most popular horde race by far even on my old-ass server.

How often do they add new servers? Is there a way to tell how old a server is? Does it matter? Are the biggest pros on the older servers?firex said:
Scrow said:
There's more to "earning" it than participating in world PVP while leveling in the new zones. You obviously never experienced the frustration of trying to zone into an instance where a max level character of the opposite faction was powering his friends alts and was steamrolling through your own party at the meeting stone.
You're entitled to your opinion dude, but Blizzard's stance hasn't changed since release and it doesn't look like they're going to. QQ.

No one agrees with me, but I really wish they'd tear down the wall and let Horde and Alliance play together. I don't care how they develop around it, I'm just sick of having a server where I can't play with 50% of the people.
Of course, I also wish they'd let every race play every class. I hate this restrictive bullshit. LOL DRAENEIS CANT BE WARLOCKS OR ROGUES, THAT'D BE UNSAVORY. BUT OH HERE, HAVE A DEATH KNIGHT.

All I want is to be able to communicate with the opposing faction. Blizzard is so scared of shit-talking and *gasp!* working together.
Just finished running an instance (HUB)
got my wand finally though I'm kinda angry at the warlock in our group
I wish I could just press a single button all the time
Still outdpsed the warlock though... even though recount shows him doing 9xx+ dps and me only 7xx+ dps... maybe he was afk half the time or something.

You are one of those people aren't you?firex said:
But yea, troll pallies and gnome shaman. Should have been done long ago.
Scrow said:
Leveling up on a PvP server *IS* kind of obnoxious. And having to deal with shit like Isle on a constant basis *IS* really fucking obnoxious. Granted, you'd still have to deal with some of the bullshit that is the latter, but I can kinda understand people being butthurt over it.
i understand where they're coming from too, i just don't think it's a good enough reason.Son of Godzilla said:
the vocal ones that speak against it seem the type that like to beat their chests about how they're a "real" PvP player. I'm really not interested in all their machismo. i just want to play the characters i have now with my friends, and avoid the tedium (again) of leveling up more characters.
I'd just want to play classes that break all the ideas of like, what that race/class combo is about! gnome druid, tauren rogue, undead/troll/orc paladin... who am I kidding, though, I'd just find the class that has the craziest shoulder armor for their different sets and then make an orc of that class.Son of Godzilla said:
Alex said:
I don't necessarily agree with tearing down the walls (I like dicking over Horde players on quest mobs/nodes
) But I feel there should be a neutral faction.Start out with Two Races, Goblin and Tuskaar (or whatever the Walrus people are). Each race gets about 4 Classes: Warrior, Shaman, Rogue, and another caster for Goblins, Warrior, Shaman, Hunter and another for Tuskaar.
In game they can group/guild/pvp with anyone they damn well please, and maybe even serve as translators between the factions. Though there would be a few restrictions mainly so they dont run around with every faction mount in the game, like chooseing Alliance riding skill or Horde riding skill or something.
But imagine if you could dick over everyone!Kletian said:I don't necessarily agree with tearing down the walls (I like dicking over Horde players on quest mobs/nodes
It'd be amazing!
EDIT: Also I've wanted to play a goblin for a long long time. That and an ogre.
And, okay, yes, a Pandaren, too.
goblins, as a race, would probably be limited to the exact same classes gnomes are.
I kind of hope the next horde race (whenever they add one to each side) is either murlocs just for the hell of it, or some kind of gnome-sized race. It'll probably be tuskarr, though. They're already setting up the lore so horde can add them as a race.

Decided to bench my Priest in favor of leveling my Lock. I think I might be doing something wrong, but Affliction grinding is actually kind of hard work. I tried the DOT everything up and then AOE fear tactic, but I'm just getting my ass kicked doing that, so I've stuck to single target killing. : (
paaronormal said:
Oh wow yeah, your not at enough spell damage nearly yet to be doing multiple mobs at once. Your going to want to start doing that once you get to the point that one application of your dots kills a mob. At that point start trying it. Its really just for flash though. I never do that while PvE'ing on my lock because its annoying walking 30 yards to and fro to loot the 5 mobs you dotted and feared.
I find it better just burning a mob down at a time in rapid succession.

Nonsense, you can start fear/tabbing once you get dark pact.
People call it aoe but what you are really doing is dotting everything up then fearing then moving on to the next mob. It's not actually dotting up multiple mobs and howling. That shit'll get you raped.
I'd say Feralas is the first place with honest mob encampments where you can start doing this and not be wasting your time chasing down corpses. The gnolls and the northern ogres both are set up perfectly for this.

Yeah, ideally what you want is to Shadowbolt, dot up a mob, fear the mob, then start the process over again with a new mob.....since only 1 enemy can be feared at a time the first one will start walking back towards you, and hopefully the 1st one will die at your feet so you don't have to run around to loot. Just try it and see how it works out. Without a lot of bonus spell damage it can be kinda difficult.
Big fight in my LFG channel last night as to what sort of DPS/Damage/Crit you should be at when you run Kara.
There was a faction of people who were convinced if you don't have 1700AP and at least 30% crit as a DPS, you're pretty much useless.
What have you guys seen on your Kara runs.
After respeccing, I think I'm at about 1300AP, 124 Hit Rating, and 24% crit but I'm not done getting all the stuff I want before I join a raiding guild. I have done a bit of Kara a few times (Survived Prince and Netherspite, but Aran kicked the group I was in to the ground..."I WILL NOT MOVE DURING FLAME WREATH") and I seemed to be doing OK DPS-wise, but really, are those above stats useless?

Depends what the rest of the group has
When I started running Kara with my guild I had 1300AP 25% crit and 135 hit rating
But that was as combat daggers
But as far as PUGging with a Kara group, they are going to want someone who won't fuck up the run

Is it a "badge run", or was the people running it bad and wanted damn sure that any problems could just be outgeared? Cuz you're stuff is great short of more +HIT.
Wow, I'm shocked at myself for leveling a rogue alt. He's 19 currently, he'll be 20 later today. Can't believe I stuck with it cause I'm a huge fans of Druids and Shaman's and really want to level them, maybe I'll stop with my rogue at 20 and get a druid and shammy both to 20 and go from there :lol

Ugh
I'm getting tired of BG's again
Eye of the Storm is tolerable as I win way more than I lose
Arathi Basin is annoying because of how long it takes
Warsong Gulch is usually pretty awful since people don't like to play as a team and the fucking games take forever
AV is boring because people seem to like to argue over why they were right and everyone else was wrong instead of playing the game and people dragging it out for god knows how long even when its a clear loss and the honour is low

Mounts at 30! Cost reduced to 35g. That's awesome, because 30 is when you start getting quests farther apart.

Buff to Curse of Elements -- woohoo! I hope they are lowering the level requirement for Druid's Travel Form, because there's hardly any point to getting it at level 30 now.
New Tailoring patterns are available from Haughty Modiste in Steamwheedle Port, Tanaris: Haliscan Jacket and Haliscan Pantaloons.
Are these anything good, or just low-level items to make leveling your skill easier?
