I think Blizzard's death penalty is a little harsh tho... 100% durability loss on EVERYTHING in your inventory is a bit too much. Plus the 30 min. res sickness is insanse.

So don't use the spirit healer.

It's not just using the spirit healer. Losing 10% durability on your items upon death is pretty harsh. Since the patch went live I've spent a rediculous amount of gold and I haven't died much at all. 3 or 4 times max. And lowering the rate of durability loss during combat hasn't done anything to help. At this rate I won't be able to afford new skills/ranks as I level, or new equipment. Eventually I probably won't even be able to repair my equipment. I love the fact that there is now a penalty for death, but Blizzard needs to rework this. No one even wants to pvp now because of the costs. It is waaaaaaaay too costly. They also need to lower the prices drastically on reagants. Besides those two problems, the patch was just fine IMO.

Two birds with one stone! Now PvP is scary.

Seriously though, I expect it will need a little work, but I also think all these months of being able to die for free has gotten people too cushy and they need to start playing like death is a bad thing.

That said, watch me come back a month after retail screaming BLIZZARD HAVE RUINED EVERYTHING.
 
Bleh, I'm not gonna get in now. Getting errors even trying to visit the sign up page.

I really hope shitty Fileplanet isn't the only way to get a spot in this damn thing...

Well this is a start...posted by Tyren on the WoW forums

"1. In the next patch, we plan to remove the durability loss on PvP death in the future."

How popular are Druids? It seems like they aren't very popular and might be more wanted in parties. I usually like being a support character (buff/debuff/heal/melee).

Heh http://www.worldofwarcraft.co.kr/ You are the Wowzer.
druids aren't popular because they aren't that great in parties over priests. however they're a million times more fun to play than priests even if you focus their talents on the restoration and balance skills. that new rebirth spell they got is a combat resurrection with a reagent cost and 30 minute cooldown, so they can be a healer and a backup res/wipe insurance type of class in instances, but not a main res class like priests, paladins or shamans.
 
Yeah I tried it... didn't work. Guess I'll just wait until tonight. Hopefully they still have keys to give away..
 
I keep getting this after I send in my info like address and such:

Trust me, a few PvE deaths alone are breaking my bank. I don't even want to risk a PvP death at this point. I agree there needs to he a death penalty, but this one is too harsh on the wallet. I'd rather lose 10% XP or something.
 
Goddamnit, I can't get my second key. And I can't create an account because signup.worldofwarcraft.com is down :/




Oh well, at least I got one key, just hoping it works
 
Grrr... I cannot access it either. I sometimes get to the green bar but never past it. Most of the time I get the error right away and sometimes it comes after I submit.
 
I've no wtried IE, Avant, and Opera, all give me the same error no matter how many times I login/log out delete cookies delete temp files etc :o

I have hit this submit button so many times...Is anyone having any luck besides Shouta?
Yeah, I just can't get my second key yet. I have to get one for my uncle. But the account creations site is down as well so you can't really do anything, even if you got the code
 
I just want my code for my extreme paranoia that it will fill up so quickly I won't get to play :(

Your second key...BASTARD! Be happy with your one! :D
 
Ok fileplanet is fuxored and so is WoW.com. I missed out on the stress tests, if I miss out on this because someone's servers are crap I will go postal.
 
People need to stop flooding the site, all of us should stop for an hour. Ok guys? (keeps hammering on the submit button)
 
Hooker said:
WoW site is up, and had been for a while. But I first wanted to create my account before telling everyone :$

If by up you mean totally hosed then you would be correct.

EDIT: Ok its up now, but they aren't giving away accounts through their site, only through FP. Fucknuggets!!!!
