Norfolk, its only on servers on the Dallas data center. And it only happens 7:30 to 10:00.
Here is the tech support thread for it, which Blizzard is still ignoring.

Saw this and it makes much sense:
"To compare to football, raiding is no longer about beating the Patriots in the Superbowl but beating the Lions without using a first down."
I'm finding on my podunk server to put up there what people are too lazy/well-off to farm. Greater Cosmic Essences, Runic Healing Potions, Titanium Bars, and Northern Spices atm. It's fluxuative but profitable.

As Tamanon said he was just a jerk. It's probably not worth dealing with rogues to get lockboxes opened these days. I just vendor them and be done with it.mcrae said:
Maybe this varies from battlegroup to battlegroup but don't take ibgy ever as alliance, it makes taking hut and fw much harder as horde will be spawning there. Put about 5 people in tower point and ib towers each and have about 10-15 rush hut and take the towers and gy there.Number 2 said:

Yea 70s bracket is bad for alliance. The only way to have any chance of winning is try and find 5 - 10 people who aren't idiots, talk in chat and so on, and go straight to RH. Skip past everything else. Let the idiots wipe once at galv, you guys will have assaulted RH flag and maybe the east and west towers, defend it. Everyone else will get the picture and come down south.
Also hurling abuse / being the leader can sometimes help.
I remember being lucky and on a maintenance night we must have had 5 wins in a row. It was mainly the same people, they knew what to do. The same guy would rush RH, rest would bum rush galv / the horde and go from there. But most of the time it was a complete waste of time.

Having done firefighter and hearing that 1 light is a lot easier is really getting on my nerves that we didn't do it tonight
In 10-man, I felt that One Light and Firefighter were actually of roughly comparable difficulty; Firefighter seems easier to repeat, though. We've done both twice for different groups of characters, and the second Firefighter was a oneshot while the second One Light still resulted in a number of wipes.

That does work at 80 when you can rush rh, take two towers, do lieutenant and then general. i havent seen it done by either side in the new bracket yet. Now that i think of it.. ive been in about 30 games or so since the new bracket has come into effect and i havent seen a general downed once. Its all Reinforcement wins and they are always 30 min games because of it.Yasser said:

Yesterday I completed my first 2 25 man raids. Obsidian Sanctum 25 and Vault of Archavon 25. I really wish the lockouts weren't so long cause if I could do OS25 every day I would. It's so quick and easy and fun.I had a lot of fun but I gotta say there are some seriously cranky people playing this game. The minute there's a wipe every starts looking for someone else to blame cause god forbid it was their fault. And it's not even like they actually offer any help to someone who might have not known what to do, other than to call people noobs.

Don't do the bigger raids then. I've had really bad experience in 25 man pugs of Naxx or Ulduar. I bet TOC must be worst with all those "elitists" who thinks they are better than everyone because they have more ilvl 245 epics than you.
I could change the "dont stand in fire" for "kill adds fast", it's the same result in the end.
sykoex said:
I don't know why people do this.
I've seen a lot of really, really bad warlocks in PUGs. I ask them if they're OK w/ me giving them pointers, and they've always been very eager for help. I've helped warlocks that were affliction spec and doing nothing but casting DoTs (no shadow bolt filler at all), warlocks casting searing pain at raid bosses, warlocks that admitted that they were "hitting random buttons until chaos bolt comes off of cooldown", warlocks with horrible talent allocation (you didn't take Ruin? Really?), warlocks doing nothing but spamming Drain Life, etc.
It takes all of five minutes to point someone to your armory, tell them a basic set of spell priorities, and offer some advice about gear. Makes me feel good when I see some of those 'locks run by me in current raid gear with a decent guild tag over their head because I feel like I may have had some small part in that.
There are a lot of idiots out there though, and playing on the priest they're a lot more noticable. Had a warlock constantly pulling aggro (while somehow doing garbage dps) in a heroic last weekend and doing nothing to dump it, and finally I got sick of it and let him die. When I told him I was disc and that healing him when he pulled wasn't as easy as hitting CoH, he said that I "should have told him that". You really need to be told not to pull aggro?
I was in a last minute Vault pug to get my 10-man in before maintenance, and whoo boy do you see some bad players when they know you don't have time to kick them out and find a better player.
The DPS on Koralon was so bad his self buff was stacked to 11 or 12 - we had some pro heals though so we were able to squeak by. Emalon was the worst, I had a rogue AOEing the adds the entire time, and wouldn't listen to raid warnings telling him to stop. Another rogue would just hit the boss and not switch to the overcharged mob. Dunno how we managed to one-shot him.

Having tanked for several years now, I can assure you that Yes, yes they do. I've been in far too many groups where DPS lets loose while I'm en route to the mobs, even spamming AoE on trash mobs when Avenger's Shield only grabs aggro on three. Tanking is all about control, and people who don't grasp that concept generally lead to chaos.
And of course, the first thing clothies do when they pull aggro is run away, in the opposite direction of the mob, which is usually the opposite direction of me. I've actually seen a mage throw down an AoE on Naxx Trash before a pull (I was marking targets), gain aggro, and then blink out of the room (and out of line of sight) and run for the exit. Funniest shit I've ever seen, we took control of the situation but we made sure he died before we booted him from the raid.
I've also had smart asses think "Pulling aggro off the tank" is equal to "Doing amazing DPS". It's not, and if the mood strikes, I usually let their mistake play out for the sake of education. I got tired of dragging idiots way back in Kara, so I tend to let people who should know better find out the hard way.
Already a bit of a long-winded post (by internet standards), but if there's one thing I wish people would learn is that aggro management is a team effort, and it's not just the tank's responsibility to make sure he has and holds threat. Everyone has to watch what they're doing and not destabilize situations.
Oh, a few more gems before I close;
Had a Ret Pally DPSing a Heroic many moons ago, using his PVP spec which included a few points in Protection. Including Improved Righteous Fury for the damage reduction, which he neglected to turn off. It was such a stupid thing to do, I didn't even think to look for it until the third time he blasted aggro off me after a solid pull. In that case, because it was a Paladin (and I like paladins, to a fault), I just whispered him to take it off. I hope he learned from it.
Had a dead weight huntard in my guild (he was an officer's dad or uncle, but basically useless and obnoxious) insist his pet could tank Heroic Black Morass (Back in TBC, so it wasn't even close to possible then). Not only that, but he insisted that I should heal his pet so it could do my job. I actually screen capped it, the officers couldn't believe it and he was quietly banned from raids. (I'm Eresia, btw)
And finally, I have actually had a Paladin cast Hand of Protection (Well, it was Blessing at the time) on me while tanking, because he didn't think the healer was going to be able to get to me in time, even though the situation was actually completely under control... or was, until my aggro (and the group) was wiped. He thought he was 'saving the group'... should have popped his suicide pill instead, that'd have at least been useful.

Haha, sounds like the Naxx 25 run I got invited to last night. I really should know better than to join those things, but I said what the hell and went anyway. They couldn't even get past the first boss in the spider wing. I don't think we had any mages to frost nova the scarabs, and when locust swarm was about to be cast nobody would move despite the RL spamming warnings telling people to get out of the way. Good times.
Magnus said:
Well, if you want to experience tanking, i'd say paladin. But there is already too many of them at lvl 80 compared to shaman, you might have a hard time getting loot sometimes when you see those 25 man raids with 6 paladins and 1 or 2 shamans.

I remember they said Heroic Leap got yanked because they "just couldn't make it work" or something like that. I don't know if they meant it was a balance problem or technical problem.
Even that makes more sense than fighting your allies deep inside enemy territory.

Welp, it looks like my warrior and warlock are about as far as you can get without doing any serious raiding. Bought all the Conquest badge gear I could, completely looted Trial of the Champion. Beyond the occasional Ony or VoA pug there's not much I can do to develop them. I guess I could save up for some epic PVP gear but I don't know if I really feel like collecting another 300 badges between characters.
I'm thinking about picking up my rogue or my Deathknight.....both of whom have been left collecting dust in Outland. Any suggestions as to which would be better? I'm not planning on doing anything other than Heroics, questing, and a little PVP. I'm not sure if I want to have another tank -- is DK tanking better or worse than tanking as a warrior?

DK tanking is pretty close to Warrior tanking, it really all comes down to what style of tanking you want to do, warrior is more reactive, IMO. I've always prefered the warrior method, but that's just because I like shields.:lol Although DKs are able to frontload threat a lot more, just because of the rune vs rage system.
With my warrior I often feel like I have to do a lot of tab-targeting, since the AoE threat on a Thunderclap/Shockwave opener isn't great enough to withstand heavy DPS. I actually think it's pretty fun that way, but I am kinda jealous of DKs who can just pick a single target and have their Desecration and disease spreading capabilities hold threat against non-targeted mobs.
The main thing is that taking up a DK seems kinda daunting -- just so much to learn about specs and spells and priorities/rotations. The rune thing seems totally arcane and weird as well.
The rogue is kind of attractive just because I've spent some odd 63 levels with her and even though I haven't touched the character in a year it'd probably be easier to pick up than a DK. Plus right now I could go buy Tankard of Terror x 2 and she would have ilvl 226 epics the moment she hit 80.

1) learning the mechanics of how a different class plays will help you greatly if you pvpborder said:
2) even if you dont level the dk to 80, its still worth the 3 hours it will take to do their starting zone
3) it only sounds complicated at first.. once you play a dk for a few minutes it wont seem arcane any longer

I picked up my DK after doing the opening quests then quitting. I'll probably get him to 80 because I want a tank. It's weird at first (leveling as Blood) but you'll get the hang of it, right now I just put my diseases then use my strikes and things die while I lose no health. :lol
My rotation is probably completely wrong but it works and it's fun.

My DK is sitting in Outland with about 50 unspent talent points because I have no idea what I'm really supposed to do with them. I understand how Runic Energy and Runes work (sorta), but I don't really know how to put it all together or what my main spells/abilities should really be.
border said:
Level dark to 80 with blood then worry about the rest later.
That shit makes a DK so unstoppable it's not even funny... Soloing elite with multiple adds? No problems! Just pop a zombie, the dancing blade, hysteria, and save a blood rune for self heal. Add in Death Strike (heals your character for ~10% as well as been a mortal strike), and all that's left to do is cackle maniacally.
