Don't mind me, just bitter... having to compete for keys when you are a LONG standing subscriber, well let's say I'm less than pleased with how the beta has been handled...

My account is from november 2004 with a couple breaks for a few months and I don't have a key even though I've gotten a key for every other beta including the original game but honestly I'm going to enjoy playing it day 1 and having it all be fresh and new instead of being some kind of guinea pig beta tester

No matter what level your profession level is at, as long as it's a 60+ character, it will go to 600.

Thanks. Was going to use it on my level 32 druid, but very tempted to use it on my level 72 paladin, cause he has mining and blacksmithing, but they are both under 100. lol

Was good for a bit, then again now I'm at ~152 minutes, time to pack it in for the night...

GG DDoS and Blizz/Charter and whoever else is against me playing tonight.

Yeah, I was doing good for a little while, then the servers took a dump and d/c'd me. :(

There is some "hacker group" hitting both blizzard and riot on and off today. pains in the asses.

Dropped inscription since it seems to be going to shit in the expansion. Ended up costing 8,000 gold to power level tailoring. BOA gear makes it worse because people out level the old world before they even get to the areas with the high end old world clothes so quite the markups compared to old.

They're just following Kripp and DDOSing what he's on. When he swapped to PoE they stopped hitting blizz, but then he loaded hearthstone back up -_-

Is it just me or is the DDoS thing a somewhat new phenomenon? Not DDoS'ing in general, but just against Blizzard. Maybe I just wasn't aware of it back in the day, but it feels like it's been happening a lot in the past year or so.

And yeah, Sargeras just went offline. Lame =[

Not just blizzard, lots of game servers. I think it's due to the rise of Twitch. script kiddies get a chance to see the results in action and giggle themselves stupid.

Ah, that makes sense.

Yeah, big games getting attacked is seemingly a common occurrence lately. So annoying.

Finally get to level 90 today to start Timeless Isle and this shit happens all day.

I had the whole day to play and ive got about an hour in so far.

FUUUUUUUUU.
 
This fucking ruined our raid night. Now we have to extend again for next week instead of killing Paragons tonight which is annoying as hell. Didn't even get like a full hour of pulls.

Really pissed off because I want to move on and get to Garrosh or reclearing for loot. Especially since we got as far as the last 3 bugs (albeit with quite a few dead). Launch/6.0 isn't getting any further away, so issues like these completely fuck my team over.

Christ. We were winning the RBG, and I was about to hit 2200 for my General title.

Bam, server crashes. Get back on 5 mins later and we are all kicked out and in Shrine.

Loving the change of Valor and Justice to just gold.... I'm guessing they will gate shit behind reps but that's okay if only have to worry about that.

So I have a Pally that has almost max level on Blacksmithing and Mining.

I'm about to boost a DK to 90 from 60. Are there any obvious professions I should target for him?

You gotta go with Alchemy and Jewelcrafting man, as the game stands right now they are a perfect combo, like Blacksmithing and Mining. And these two characters will have crossover in regards to what they do. Your Transmute spec alchemist will be transmuting Living steel out of Trillium you can transmute out of Ghost Iron Ore your Pally mines. Than you can use that Living Steel on your blacksmith to craft belt buckles for profit and personal use.

So an 2 days ago an interesting thread popped up on the battle.net forums about Blizzard's decision to use gold as a currency to purchase Seal of Tempered Fate, the first tier of bonus roll in WoD.

In the current beta build there are a few ways of obtaining these:

Apexis Crystals: 100
Garrison Resources: 300
Honor: 500
Gold: 500g

You can obtain 3 per week just like MoP, so this provides a nice outlet for us gold makers, who enjoy our own forms of grinding over others. Of course, there's more to this story than on the surface, a blue comment popped up on that thread, from Watcher:

Spending 500g on Seal of Tempered Fate.... <insert AWWWWWYEAAAAAH.jpg>

Fuck I hated having to get lesser charms for elder charms, mogu runes and warforged seals, massive improvement for me. I wouldn't want to waste Apexis Crystals (this shit is pretty much Valor though isn't it? lol) or Garrison resources...

So much quality of life improvements I'm loving in WoD... Reagent Tab in bank, materials stacking too 200, crafting from banks and this among other things.

500g a week? Bah. It's not too bad but I've gotten used to not spending a penny on raiding.

Don't forget they'll be replacing whatever valor rewards we get now with gold, so depending on how much you heroics/raids you do you'll end up with more gold than whatever it costs to buy the seals.

I like this idea. Thanks!

I wonder if 6.0 will be a bonanza of sales for Dancing Steel, Jade Spirit and all the gems Mr Robot will recommend to people... Easier access to Heirloom weapons, UBRS with better than Timeless gear.... could go either way... high risk high reward... all those shas and rubies, onyxs and radiances will be worthless the moment WoD launches and if 6.0 patch for them is a miss you're out of chance to liquidate stock.

It's a gamble, turn a 100k into 300k or turn a 100k into 20k lol.

Right now I buy any Lotus under 25g, any Purple or Green under 20g (use them with Orange to transmute into Primal Diamonds), Yellow and Red under 25g (the cuts still sell around 40-60g), Sha's under 100g... Ehtheral Shards under 20g (turn into Sha Crystal or 3 Mysterious Essence which go for 7-8g... 20g or lower >>> 21-24g

I still have like 7k lesser charms from getting Shaohao to exalted >_>

And it's not like I have a need for more gold, I have just gotten used to the fact that since my guild pays for potions and repairs, I slap Nomi for free food and trickle some lesser charms every week, I don't need to drop anything on raiding.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
just logged in on my shaman on the beta...what the hell, they are loosing their enchantsments too?

enchantsments. lel.

for enhance spec, windfury is baked into the spec. flametongue was just a passive damage boost so they baked that into whatever too i think.

hmm not a bad SoO run in terms of ilvl for green fire, went from 493 to 506 with some SoO pieces and a 550 pvp ring from the celestial. just have the last wing of SoO left to do, then might do some valor upgrades and try green fire again
 
isnt that what its called? :p

People just love sneaking that extra "c" into "enhancement"

I PLAY AN ENCHANCE ROUGE

Yes, those are called enchantments. Not sure if Anoregon is simply kidding around or doesn't know that enhancement shamans use enchantments on their weapons but figured I'd chime in.

And this is the first time I've seen something about us losing our enchantments. Can't say I'm overly bothered since now they're just "always on" but I did like swapping them in emergency cases. There were a few times me throwing on rockbiter saved people.
