I'm really liking some of the quests so far. The warp rifts one has been my favourite. Spawning portals upon unsuspecting ally and then watching them squirm and in most cases die was the most fun i've had with this game in ages.

I don't care what kind of servers I'm on, killing people especially with the purpose to tag their named mob for a quest is pretty pathetic. If you can't claim it competitively, wait your turn (it hasn't happened to me yet, but I've had party members that suggest we do the same, which I promptly turned down).
Yes this is a game, but my enjoyment of it does not come from frustrating other people with the sole objective of just doing that. If you yourself like being camped and stuff, then great, I'm glad you are made of tougher stuff. Personally, I don't like being on either end of it.

How is me killing you grieving? I shouldn't have to check that the situation is completely fair before engaging. That's bullshit. If you saw someone in an FPS deathmatch that was all alone, you'd pick them off. On a PvP server, you shouldn't be bitching about being killed because you weren't paying attention, or riding with guildies.Zalasta said:Grieving is grieving no matter what kind of server you're on, and even in game where PvP isn't allowed (FFXI, CoH, etc).
You've gotta remember that not everyone went out and bought it at midnight on launch day. There are a lot of casual people who probably said: "Meh, I'll just order it from Amazon or wait till the weekend."However, is it me or are the servers getting progressively worse?

is that pretty all there is to it at this lvl?
i'm gonna spec ret, and grab SOC asap
i've also heard reckoning is good for lvling?
lvling a hunter is much easier/faster so far, but im enjoying the starting zones
Zalasta said:AFAIK and correct me if I'm wrong, WoW started out as a PvE game with PvP elements, not the other way around.
Buggy Loop said:Not 100% certain as im sure other blizzard fans know alot more about WoW's progress, but i think its the other way around, it was meant to be full world PVP at first, i clearly remember in the early alphas and concepts they had catapults that actually could be used by gamers.

This behavior confounds me and also makes me ponder why droping a tell first and finding out what I am like is so difficult :lol

Killing somebody who's just trying to get their questing done is griefing. Kill them once, fine whatever. But the kind of douchebag that's going to attack you when you've got 1-2 mobs on you is the type that's just going to do it again and again, to the point where you have to abandon the quest area. Not to say that they're all corpse campers, but they'll just rove the same 4-5 acres and kill you on sight everytime.fallout said:How is me killing you grieving?

border said:Blizzard makes unpopular change and hundreds threaten to quit even though everybody knows they'll suck it up and keep playing? Wow, news flash....
And if they quit, they lose their community anyway.Forcing them off the server and forcing the split pisses them off enough to quit.
border said:If idiots are happy with 8-hour queues then I guess they ought to be able to stay.....but in a split can't you pretty much decide what new server you get sent to anyway?
Will I be able to choose my new realm?
When a realm is chosen to undergo a split, an in-game message at the character-selection screen will prompt all affected players to choose between one of the two new realms being created. The player will be able to make this decision (or change his or her decision) up until the realm-split process has been completed. The realm that the player chooses will be the destination for all characters that the player plays on that realm.
What happens to my characters if I don’t choose?
If a realm is not chosen by the player, each character will be individually relocated to one of the two new realms based on a priority system. The system will first determine whether the character is in a guild and move the character based on the destination of the guild’s leader. If the character is not in a guild, the system will then check if the character is part of an arena team and move the character accordingly. If these conditions do not apply, Blizzard will make the decision for the character(s).
Is it possible to send my characters to different realms?
If a player does not provide us with his or her preference, and allows the priority system described above to individually process the
relocation of each character, then it is possible to have characters become divided between the two new realms. Manually selecting a realm during the selection period will ensure that all characters from a single account on the affected realm will relocate together.
Does providing my realm preference guarantee my destination?
We will do our best to accommodate everyone’s realm preference, but if manual realm selections result in one of the two new realms being overpopulated, we may need to move some of the population to a different realm.

Look at the message when you launch WoW. They are offering free transfers off the listed servers, but if the server stays overloaded then they will have to force a split. Hopefully the threat of a split (and 8 hour queues) will encourage enough people to leave without forcing Blizzard's hand.SatelliteOfLove said:I'm trying to understand why they're just not offering free transfers off and closing transfers to to ease this till it's managable.
I don't really take notes of what people are doing. I see, I kill. I've been jumped with mobs on me and survived, it's part of the fun.border said:Killing somebody who's just trying to get their questing done is griefing.
Bah, WoW player-killing serves the purpose of fun and challenge. I charge into situations that will probably get me killed, and most of the time, they do. Still, it's fun to try, because it forces you to play better.In WoW player-killing serves no ostensible purpose other than making someone else's life harder.
I own a 6800 GS and WoW's crashed like, 3 times. Twice in Hellfire, once in Shattrath City.Ferrio said:Also, for any Geforce 8800 owners. There's a certain section in terrokor forest that crashes my card (blue screen). Around the center, about 1/3 down the map, against some mountains. Curious if any other 8800 owners having the same issue.

If I go fight the anami chieftain on top of his hut in eversong for(slave in cage quest) if I stay there for more 1 min I will get a NV4disp.dll error, locks up game for 2mins and then restarts the pc. I have done this 11 times now, its no random occurance. I have played everywhere so far in eversong just fine for 30hrs now. I have reformated, installed older and new video card drivers, redid whole wow install process to no avail. I can only hope this is the only area in game ever does this to me. Has a healer would totally suck ever seen this again, folks had no idea I wasnt there to heal.
Someone that is blood elf feel free kill Chieftain few times and run around up there and see if its buggy

Zaptruder said:I can't believe how frustrating it is to level a rogue compared to a hunter.
Hats of to rogue players... seriously need to be teamed up with a healer for leveling rogue. Hunters are by far the best for soloing.
I levelled a druid up a bit with my buddy who was playing a Warlock. It was amazing, We usually had anywhere between 3-6 mobs going at once (not to mention alliance running in trying to **** us up). And it got even more amazing when I got innervate, heh.Alex said:Everything is frustrating to level compared to a Hunter, except maybe a Warlock once you hit their stride.![]()
