Mine is LastSinner#1930. Super keen for regular ppl to hit up Tempest Keep, Eye of Eternity and Onyxia with for mount runs. Also up for trading Black Temple glaive runs and Sunwell Thoridal runs. Cross-realm old raids work just fine.

Speaking of which, last night on Lost Isles AH, the Alysrazor mount appeared. It went to 1 million right away. That Black Market is going to be the ultimate goldsink. If only players could put things on there...

I did a little bit last night just to update my actual characters since I'd not played any of them since November.

At least I still have Chaos Bolt (and it hits like a truck again. With my just barely T11 raid ready warlock managed 52k on a boss target dummy on the first shot. I missed those numbers during CATA when Chaos Bolt seemed underpowered compared to WRATH) Of course it always crits and does more damaged based on your crit chance. If keep playing I'm going to have to remember that since I've programmed myself for more haste after hit cap back in T11.

I made Loremaster for the third time with the same character now (LOL) Got another taberd in the mail. I guess it is just the reset each time to grandfather in your old Loremaster even though you've not completed the new quests and zones a all.

(I did see someone setting up to raid Molten Core just as I logged on. Weird times).

Vanilla WoW is loved by many because a lot of people got their first contact with raiding and became a part of a guild in Vanilla.

Being a part of a guild was something really different in Vanilla. Raids being tuned for 40 players meant that you had to sit on standby in case someone had to leave (and many people had to leave very often). But that was OK because you wanted to standby in Ironforge. I remember listening excitedly in Vent while my guild was progressing on a new boss. The community had to be stronger in order for the guild hold together. I played a Paladin and I'm glad Blizzard got rid of the Decursive spam (I got my fare share of that and 5 minute blessings in Molten Core).

As for PvP... Yeah. It all depended on your gear. But still, I had some of the best times of my WoW life PvP'ing with a 10-man guildie group a couple of weeks before TBC.

All in all, the game has evolved and changed for the better, but the nostalgia will always be strong in this one

Holy Shock Paladin @ Level 10 is lolz.

Summation of the Pandaren starting line for those interested:

Spoiler for Pandaren starting zone and storyline:

So you live on the back of a giant turtle - Shanzen-Su. But something is wrong with the turtle. So you gradually prove your strength and ability to master your Chi before you take on the first major storyline - gathering the four Elemental Spirits. Fire is somewhat obedient and follows willingly. Water is a bit of a joker but likes you - humour her and she will gladly follow. Earth was a real 'stoner'...getting him to wake up is an ordeal in itself. Wind is being tormented by a black dragon which you need to take out. Once that happens, you then follow your mentor on his final journey before he gives up his time. You then get permission to team up with Aysa Cloudsinger and Ji Ironpaw to find out what's wrong with the turtle. Turtle claims there's something that there's a 'thorn' in his shell somewhere that has severely injured him. Flying about on a balloon, you find the cause...an airship?! Yep, outsiders are here. An Alliance ship that got overrun by Horde prisoners crashed into the turtle and caused a major wound as a result. After doing a few quests for the Horde, you then do a few for the Alliance. After you've done the quest, Aysa decides something has to be done to save Shanzen-Su but without hurting him. Ji, however, decided to listen to a Goblin and takes extreme measures...blowing up the ship! Aysa thinks the action is wrong but Ji won't hear otherwise. The bombs do take care of the ship....but they make the wound bigger...MUCH BIGGER...The turtle is screwed unless a miracle is pulled off. Aysa is furious and says she'll never forgive Ji. The final quest is an intriguing necessary temp pact between Alliance priests and Horde druids to fight off attackers and do a combined healing effort to seal the wound. Once that is done, you head back to your elders but the lines are drawn. Both the Alliance and Horde are willing to take in the Pandaren. Aysa makes it clear the Alliance suit her beliefs and that she will go with them, while Ji is inspired by the Horde and wants to go with them. So you make your decision....

No surprise, I chose Alliance. You're sent into Stormwind and walk from the entrance gates to Stormwind King to see Varian. Unlike the Death Knight experience of being shamed and pelted, Stormwind is quite pleased to see Pandaren. Varian is intrigued by you and takes yourself and Aysa on a quick tour to lay down the law. All Alliance races are equal and all deserve help when asked for. But he places special emphasis on the fact that since Pandaren have gone to both the Alliance and the Horde, if you ever encounter Pandaren that are now Horde, they are now your mortal enemies and that you must never do anything to compromise the Alliance by how you react. Varian's final action is that he wants to spar with you and dares you to hit him. After a LOT of attempts which he keeps blaring at you, Aysa says 'be careful, if you hit him too hard, we're in trouble!', you finally hit him. There's this hilarious slow-motion moment where Varian flies through the air, Aysa's mouth is frozen in horror and you think maybe you went too far. Varian dusts himself off, laughs heartily and says it's the best he's felt in years. He welcomes the Pandaren to the Alliance and makes Aysa the head diplomat/envoy for Pandaren within the Alliance. By the end of that, you should be at least Level 12, have decided whether to go tank, healer of DPS and figure out where you want to level in.

Interesting experience. Starts quite slow but once the outsiders factor kicks in, it's quite engaging. Hopefully the conflict between Aysa and Ji will be a future storyline in this expansion's content.

Edit: Up-to-date versions of essential mods like Recount, DBM and NPCScan are now live.

Spoiler for horde version:

I learned today there are free season 12 epic gear. Could have bought those to cheat ilvl

Ak3mi · 2012-08-31, 16:26

How are the new talents and changes to skills? Does the game feel different?

Flying Dagger · 2012-08-31, 18:20

Some more questions for beta ppl:
1) Dragon turtle mount vendor: I cant find it in both SW/Org @ where he is suppose to be, did they move them?
2) How come a lot of the scenarios are locked?

Ithekro · 2012-08-31, 18:40

I saw the mounts in SW near the CATA portals under the large oriental ballon. I didn't see a vendor, but I wasn't looked for one. (Not sure it the vendor is in game yet as oppose to in beta)

I've not been to Org since my Horde DK tends to hang out in Thunder Bluff (less crowded and he's not quested in CATA at all.)

Flying Dagger · 2012-08-31, 23:17

I suspect the vendor might be missing, thus I asked.

I played some lv85 monk today.
I have somewhat of a hard time learning how to tank as brewmaster:
I think I am supposed to use Keg Smash(8s) and Expel Harm(15s) on cooldown (since they do more damage than jab and have secondary effects)... and that is only for energy spenders.
For Chi spenders, I keep the buff from blackout kick active (so 1 kick every 6 seconds), then spend the rest of my Chi in purifying brew... got to use elusive brew every once a while too...

This caused me to tunnel a lot on my energy/chi as well as the blackout kick buff bar =/

While complicated, I was able to solo a boss from 50% to 0% with just 1 DPS alive... I think a mastery of the relatively complicated monk style will make them really OPed.

Prot paladin with battlehealer glyph is broken.

Fall of Theramore event is now live in the Scenarios queue.

Rewards are a free 384 weapon/shield, a tabard and the "Fall of Theramore' Feat of Strength. Ironically the staff is exactly the kind of mog I needed to fit the Time Lord set. Mage mog secured permanently!

Remember you only have to do it on one character to get the feat for all. But if you want the weapon, queue across your account.

Ithekro · 2012-09-19, 02:32

So who's going to play Pandaria?

Me. It beats the living daylights out of Cataclysm and Burning Crusade.

Xacual · 2012-09-24, 05:18

I would be if not for university starting this week. I can't afford to get sucked into WoW. It was bad enough at community college level but I know I won't have time for it anymore.

Mentar · 2012-09-24, 05:37

That's what vacation time is for ^_^

By pure coincidence it is released in the last week of my 4-week yearly leave, otherwise I'd just take 1-2 weeks for it to have some time (like some of my colleagues)

Gotta love our 6 weeks of paid vacation!

Mentar · 2012-09-24, 18:36

*lol*

My god, whoever designed the initial quests should be forced to wear a T-Shirt saying "IT WAS ME, I DESIGNED THE MoP BEGINNING" and then sent into a group of hardcore players.

Why? Because right in the beginning, the players are forced into a "rollercoaster" type Helicopter quest demanding to kill 100-something enemies in a bombardment run. There is no way around this. You can imagine how fun it is having to wait 10+ minutes before entering the helicopter actually works, then you circle around without vehicle commands because Power Auras (not really the most uncommon addon) breaks the UI, and when you finally managed to get it working, your shots have a lag of 30 seconds, making any attempt of "aiming" completely pointless. So you have a few hundred helicopters circling around an enemy island, and all of them are autofiring blindly.

Look, Blizzard. It doesn't take more than three braincells to figure out that this isn't going to work. Why do it anyway? Are you truly so retarded, or do you just simply not care?

Well, off to bed ^_^;

Flying Dagger 大巧不工 Join Date: Dec 2003	Spoiler for horde version: Gorrash pretty much tells you that everyone in the horde has proven their worth in battles, and you are to kill other pandarens in the alliance (because your friends and family died the day they joined the alliance). He tests your combat against various mobs. Blizzard is really setting him up to be the ass of the expansion.
