I hope Frost Lotus prices don't plummet. I'm sitting on about 52,000 gold right now, without much to do with it, and decided to take a risk by investing in some frozen orbs. picked up 210 of them for 3200g. I'm thinking even if prices fall to 30g I can still double my investment.
Problem is that it will take forever to sell 210 Frost Lotuses, and after the first couple days of the patch the pricing between Lotuses and Frozen Orbs will reach parity. I doubt that you will lose money, but I doubt you'll double your investment either since they are also doubling the droprate on Frost Lotus.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The reason is, they are mostly duplicative of other buffs that are just passive auras or Shaman Totems.border said:

This should be renamed the "intentionally be a douchebag until you get votekicked" feature, because that's what people will start doing in bad groups.
Cool. Confirmation that Gnomeregan will be retaken; Gnomes get their own city which means Ironforge is not longer cluttered by little shitheads, and that shitty instance gets taken out. Two birds with one stone.
Interesting to see what happens to the Trolls though. I hope Blizzard don't go the lazy way out and simply buff up Sen'jin Village/retake Echo Isles.

Isn't Ironforge getting destroyed by the Cataclysm though? I would find it kind of silly to have Ironforge, Stormwind, and Gnomer all right next to each other.
speedpop said:
It says you only re-take "the surface of Gnomeregan". The entire instance will probably stay right where it is.....though hopefully they find a way to make it less of a neverending slog. I'm curious if Blizzard is going to bother re-doing the old dungeons at all, since they haven't talked about that much. Going into Marudon for the Lunar Festival quest remined me what a nightmare craphole it still is.
Doomsday Messenger - Wear a large board emblazoned with a message about the impending end of the world.
This sounds like fun!

They'll probably go through every dungeon again and reitemize the loot to make it more appropriate.
funkmastergeneral said:
I've always said that Gnomer, being as mechanical as it is, should itself be a huge machine capable of compressing itself and traveling around, like Figaro from FF6. Have it dig underground through the mountains and resurface near Tanaris to give the Alliance a capitol in South Kalimdor. They don't have anything on the continent except in the extreme North, whereas the Horde has Thunder Bluff.
Then, have the trolls retake an island off Stranglethorn Vale, giving the Horde a capitol in South Eastern Kingdoms. They don't have anything on the continent except in the extreme North, whereas the alliance has Stormwind.
I say, make it like the Technodrome. That wins points all around.
border said:
They should add new bosses to every old world dungeon, and tie it to Archeology. Each dungeon has a new closed off section that you need an Archeology-only key to unlock. Some dungeons have large wings, others have just new rooms. But something new needs to be added to bring them more in line with the pacing of current dungeons.
Also, adding more quests inside the dungeons themselves, instead of having to hunt all over the old world, would go a long way towards streamlining the experience.

That, and they're ludicrously spammy, especially in larger raids. You get a combat log message for every person in range (which is going to be the entire raid in most encounters) every single time any of those abilities proc (which is a LOT, especially ones like Rampage for fury warriors). That's going to be a huge amount of client/server communication that just won't have to happen any more, which should hopefully reduce the stress on the servers and reduce lag for everyone.Angry Grimace said:

Some of the spells that have been dug out make me think that the Echo Isles will be retaken at the same time as Gnomer.
That along with the new Taxi Nodes and Vol'jin's new model pretty much make it a lock.

Yea the Human male, the female ernt too bad, saying that Human males ernt too bad with a beard, as long as they dont have the Goku hair.
I just think it would be nice if blizzard improved the texture quality of the old races, as they are going to look very dated compared to Wogen/Goblin.
Deacan said:
I've never seen a good high res picture of the goblins and wogens, but aren't they just based off of models that have been there since vanilla? I mean, goblins have their mining/crafting animations along with jumping in the game. Actually, their dance is in there too no, considering the goblin pirate halloween dance thing. I think they have to revamp all the models at this point of the game.

Console commands that allow you to teleport around the world. Man, if there was one reason to go on the PTR, this is it.border said:
The thing about those commands is that they allow you to go onto different maps. Emerald Dream (without model editing), test maps, and heaps of other things, all without having to use exploits or shady things.
I believe this also happened during the 2.1.x patches, if I remember correctly.

They're creating completely new models for player goblins/worgen. The existing models are nowhere near the quality needed for a player race - the goblins in particular haven't been updated since the original alpha or something; they still use the dwarf skeleton and animations for most things. And the existing worgen models aren't set up for things like armor or weapons, in addition to being pretty terrible quality-wise.J-Rzez said:

It should be possible with worldport, just that the co-ordinates are going to be quite large numerically.Angry Grimace said:
I'll look up some interesting commands that you can use on the PTR anyway.
Oh shit, the GM Island really exists? I always thought it was a mixture of fraud, rumor, and myth. If you have GM powers I don't really understand why you would need to have a "physical" place to meet up with other GMs......you can generate your own items if you need them, and create your own exclusive chat channel if you need to collaborate with other GMs. It doesn't make any sense that they would need to have a place in Azeroth to congregate.

worldport 1 16238.29, 16219.044 9.600 should take you to GM Island.border said:
Some other interesting things (copied from the internet:
Old Ironforge: worldport 0 -4821 -977 465
Emerald Dream: worldport 169 3330 3080 26 (try 69 with those same last 3 numbers if it doesn't work, I've heard 69 is the Emerald Dream map, not 169)
Azshara Crater (unreleased BG): worldport 37 58 23 266
Hyjal: worldport 1 4674.88 -3638.37 965.264 (you'll get No Mans Land and get ported out anyway, but try it if you want)
Try worldport 469 0 0 0, seems to be development island, some interesting things there from what I've seen of minimap files and videos on the internet
Old Outlands (is actually part of Deadmines outside the main map): worldport 36 -1507 617 -0
No idea what these are, try them if you want. Add 0 0 0 on the end when using world port, those are just map IDs and names.

There's some more things. Isn't too hard to google and I'll link a few Noggaholic videos for you guys to watch, they're really interesting in showing lots of things like this.
EDIT: http://video.google.com/videoplay?d...4eYwgP60N39Cg&q=Exploration+the+Movie&view=3#
and
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7608672074631385072&ei=t8WAS9i3NYHMwgP7lvDpCA&q=Noggaholic#
are easily the best 2 Noggaholic movies. They're long, but show off lots of really cool stuff from pre-TBC. They share some of the same content, but each has their unique little things that make them worth watching.

Early on in the game, GMs had to be logged into a server to chat with players. GM Island was just a place for them to be logged in and have no one see them. Now there's an out of game chat that they use though.

The new race combos might be something they would consider but I think it's highly unlikely as they want you to experience the new Azeroth while leveling these characters.

Um, they'll do it the exact same way they did Burning Crusade. You can see them, you just can't select them on the create character screen.HarryDemeanor said:
Here's a question: Are DK tanks SUPPOSED to be squishy? I had a DK tank in HoR, and I couldn't heal him (Disc Priest) even with spam heals. He just kept doing further and further down no matter what I did, even when nuked with Penanace, PW:S and hasted Gheals. It was insane; and his GS was like 5700. I couldn't figure it out.

Yeah, but my heals were 2800 heals per second, plus guessed absorbs over 1300, and he died faster than I could even put heals out. It just blew my mind, because I've healed every other kind of tank successfully (even warriors)Tamanon said:
He was probably getting hit from behind or didn't have the good tanking talents, remind me of something...
I had a DK yesterday doing H UP. He was our tank. He had a tank set. BUT a dps build. Meaning he didn't had the talents to improve dodge, armor or reduce damage. He even said "i hate tanking, im DPS, i only queue tank for fast instance"
...It felt like i was healing someone who wasnt even wearing a tank set.
Needless to say, he was on my ignore list before the run was over.
