Oh ok. I don't play alliance so I didn't do that quest. Cool I guess.
Wasn't Saurfang killed at the Wrathgate? Why are we fighting him on an airship?
Also I think the whole shooting down the other's airship is a buildup towards Cataclysm, where the split between Horde and Alliance is gonna be a lot bigger, instead of the friendly "hey we don't like you and you don't like us, but let's be friends so we can kill other stuff" way it is now.

i have to say, from a lore standpoint, Wotlk seems to be alliances game. Almost like how Outland was hordes thing. i think ive learned more about the Vrykul and Utgarde Keep in like 10 alliance quests than i have from all of horde. Same goes for the Curse of the Flesh, the iron dwarves and gnomes, where humanity comes from, and now Yogg (im in Howling Fjord and theres a few quests in Whisper Gulch where a bunch of Explorers League dwarves went batshit).speedpop said:

No I'm talking shit. I have a mate who is convinced that the Wildhammer thing is too obvious, it's his theory really. The main reason is just that he thinks that they'll want to bring Muradin back in as a somewhat central character beyond Icecrown, and that they'll need a catalyst for the arrival of shamans, so it 'fits'.
Personally I think the Wildhammer being invited back to Ironforge after the Hinterlands gets ripped apart is far more likely. Once the lore of a fictitious universe becomes as wide as Warcraft lore it becomes difficult to expand in new directions without tangling up the old stuff, so I'd say they'll be trying to draw from as much old lore as possible.
My bigger concern is that the dwarf totems aren't kegs.

right now i pretty much just send in fel guard, throw up CoA, Corr, lifetap, grab another mob, do the same, maybe a third mob repeat, if metamorph is up pop that and the roman candle aoe as I like to call it.
tap back to full mana then mebbe drain life a few times to maintain some sorta hp/mana balance
About Shadowmourne, from seeing leaked images of it - and if I'm right in my supposition this is probably a big ol' spoiler, so I'll play it safe:Tamanon said:
I'm no expert on Frostmourne, but I'm *sure* Shadowmourne looks rather like Frostmourne with most of the blade broken off. Could be a coincidence, but I suspect that's the Lore in action

Why do I keep looking in this thread? godamn this game has a real sway over me :lol
Dropped out cold turkey just before Aion was about to come out because I couldn't get a decent guild and was piss bored of 5 mans, the new raid was rubbish aswell. But then didn't bother with Aion and i find myself checking Mmo champion and reading this thread to find out about icecrown :lol
Fuck, urge to resub and level my DK to 80 is rising... oh dear
Also Zombiesupastar (guy who has a lock)
This should help

Maybe, But i think it will still be sometime in december.
Ulduar went for 4 months, patch 3.2 is only just 2 months old. While it would be nice if 3.3 came out in mid - late november, giving the 3.2 content 3 months of work, i don't see it happening.
It would certainly make sense because 3 months for any raid content is just about right. But this is THE instance, THE battle we have been waiting for since the expansions release. They need to make it right, 1 and a bit month of random ptr testing would be fine, plus another week or two of extra tweaks offline and that should do the trick. Which would bring it into december sometime.
I would love for it to be sooner rather than later. But i dunno.

hey anyone on win7 64bit having these issues?
I am missing some of the "sounds" while playing WoW, like the cast sound a warlock does when summoning his mount, (and only when I pan the camera to the left/right of the mount after it casts can I hear the thunderclap horse neighing, almost liked the surrounded sound is weirding out on me) or the twang of the bow for a hunter shooting
I have an audigy card (24 bit something or other I cant remember) and dl'd the 64bit drivers (or rather win7 found them for creative with the auto update feature).
Ive tried enabling hardware for sound, lower/raising quality/sound channels, reverb, emulating surround on a headset, etc nothing is working, other games/foobar/multimedia work fine, just wow is the issue.
edit: ok this is really weird if I select Digital Audio (SB Audigy) from the drop down in the wow sound menu (as Opposed to System Default, or SB Audigy)
I get all the sounds back....
none of my hardware changed in the move from XP to win7 and in xp I just had the system default and it worked fine..... odd.. im a bit noob about sound hardware, and I just have mine hooked up with the old lime green plug from the speakers into the soundcard (looks like a headphone plug), I thought I need an optical cable or some such for digital audio?

I'm using Win7 64bit, and I don't have that issue.Try getting the creative drivers if they exist vs. using the ones Windows auto installed.
I did try Nvidia 3D in wow last night and it was a trip...I'm almost temped to get the actual shutter glass setup, because even using the old school blue/red glasses it was a lot of fun.

ToC is not good enough content to last as long as Ulduar.

Not really.
There used to be The Ready Check, which was kind of halfway in between. The folks that did the podcast had barely killed Illidan before 3.0, so they themselves weren't exactly "hardcore", but some of the guilds they brought on the show had US firsts.
I can't listen to The Instance. Last time I checked they were talking about wiping to Thaddius right before 3.1 hit.

Thanks. It's getting to the point now where elitism in one's own play is the new hotness (in lieu of how elite one's guild is since progression is lol).
Now, if one could teach Hpriest easily. I'm seeing ones that I outheal 5-3 on the meters and I'm Disco, on the tanks, and not taking into account absorbs. I have to find their thought process, and all I'm getting back is "but they're so low I need to use Gheal to save them". Them being one raid member to raid-wide damage. :\

This is really dissappointing. EJ can sometimes be a bit too much to take in at one time for someone new to a class, I've gotten into the habit of listening to podcasts while grinding out levels, was hoping for some Ulduar / TOC Prep :/.
Maybe I was being a bit delirious when I thought there was a Giant Bombcastic equivalent for WoW :lol

Would there be enough material to cover for a weekly raid podcast? Seems like it would just be about funny stuff that happened during raids. It doesnt seem like the kind of thing where there are tons of hints and tips and stuff.. and helpful instruction/walkthrough isnt going to interest the audience that would listen to a raid podcast since they already know.
Number 2 said:
I don't think it would have to be exclusively focused on Raids, it could cover a wide spectrum of WoW related topics. It should just have some type of section where they discuss some of the more advanced mechanics / concepts that encompass end game raiding.
I was listening to a Podcast where they were discussing strategies and precautions for Malygos, at this point ToC was within 2 weeks of release, I had a hard time taking it seriously from that point onwards.
Sebulon3k said:
The Ready Check was more about interviewing other raiding guilds to see how things worked for them than it was discussing the raid content itself. Most of the guilds they had on were deep into progression, beating things before they were nerfed, making their own strats instead of waiting for Tankspot or Bosskillers to give the color-by-numbers version.
Interesting insight into truly hardcore raiding guilds. One mentioned that new raid tiers had them raiding six nights a week, something like eight hours a night. I was like "fuck that", but then they mentioned having the content on farm within two weeks and spending the rest of the time between content patches with a single four-hour raid each week, clearing everything.
They also interviewed guilds they considered interesting. One of my old guildies was on there representing a successful "casual raiding" guild that's maintained solid, current progression since MC.

Do that about 20 times and you can make a couple runecloth bolts. Good for leveling tailoring :lolZaptruder said:

Yup, and that was before I acquired a few pieces of gear to even my stats and give me my T9 4pc Bonus.
Now I'm just waiting for a certain blacksmith to login so I can make my chestpeice and can do some proper testing.

Some of those gems are temp, still in the middle of gear transition.
Thinking back to those hardcore guilds having things on farm quickly after killing them the first time, it makes me wonder if my guild isn't held back by one or two people.
We'll bang our head against a wall wipe after wipe, but after a boss is downed once we typically never have a problem with it again. A lot of times our second kill of a difficult encounter is a one-shot for the new lockout period. It's like there are one or two people completely screwing up that realize "oh, that's what I'm supposed to do."
It was like that for Sarth+3D, every hard mode we've done in Ulduar (6 of 9), and every boss we've killed in ToGC (3 of 5).
