I ALMOST had all my heirlooms for my upcoming Druid, but I accidentally bought a duplicate chest piece that he already had (instead of the shoulders) and I wasted 40 emblems *grumble*

Then, sell them to the vendor so you can get your emblems back?

But i guess that's too late now.

 

[Alex]

I didn't mean poor as in bad, I just mean in general the public is going to be confused when they find out their healer can't really do much to save them from stupidity and that they will have to drink very often.

 

[aktham]

As much as I despise traditional MMOs, from time to time I give them a shot and hope they don't kill me with inanity. Today is that time. I will give this game an honest chance! Let's Go!

THIS SHIT SUC.... no. I'll wait til tomorrow when it finishes downloading. I can do this. They do have to align the trial with the patches, after all.

Just join when cata to be honest. Either find friends or some gaffers here who will be leveling from level 1 all over again (I will be).

Not to rub salt in the wound, but you could have sold it back.

You might still be able to.

I doubt many eager DPS will be getting owned in LK Heroics by grabbing aggro. Most of them could probably tank them themselves.

Just like old times.

"WTF! Why is the tank pulling! I have no mana!"

Yeah, there's no point in going now if you're an upstart, wait for 4.0.3 at least, that's probably November. 4.0.3 is when the new world is put in.

g35twinturbo was telling me that the BoA prices skyrocketed, if so FML

Argent tournament heirloom prices are to remain the same iirc so there's always that.

 

[Animal]

Wait for 3 sunders! 2 if you're pro!

The story of my WoW life.

 

[TriniTrin]

Everyone has some AoE, it's just not as overpowered as before. Basically four mobs is the maximum you can hold on to without having issues.

What class to do you play?

Days of AoE with 15 enemies on me at once are gone!

I felt like such a bad ass, now my holy paladin is limited to 4-5 =(

 

[Johnlenham]

Just like old times.

"WTF! Why is the tank pulling! I have no mana!"

I still do it even now.
"Tank wtf are you doing move it!"
"waiting for healers mana, its at 30%"
"what?! gogogo"
"grumble well if I fking die and wipe everyone it will be your fault grumble grumble":lol

I stll have yet to abuse my killing power even when a shitty mage was pissing me off by pulling in gudrak. Heres hoping karma will balance it all out or all my stuff is on CD when someone tries it next ;p

I'm soooo looking forward to letting people die.

I have an 80 Rogue, a 70+ priest, a 70+ druid, a 50-ish warrior, a 60-ish shaman and a whole bunch of other 30>= alts.

Don't know what I want to roll, it's like I'm playing WoW for the first time all over again!

 

[Loto]

Is there a good place to read up on the jobs and races that are available now and coming with Cata? I have done the 10-day trial a few times, but I really don't know anything about WoW. My only MMO experience is 7 years of FFXI

www.wowwiki.com is the repository of WoW

mmo-champion.com is good for news updates of changes, and it does have cata info.

 

[Blackface]

Dunno if this was posted but mages currently can't use the following prime glyphs

Glyph of Arcane Barrage
Glyph of Molten Armor
Glyph of Frostbolt
Glyph of Arcane Missiles
Glyph of Frostfire Bolt
Glyph of Fireball

Been bugged for a while in PTR, and Blizzard confirmed they never bothered fixing it. But it's a "priority" for them. Massive nerf to mages.

Many things about the new class stuff is in the MMO-Champion link I put in the OP. In fact, www.mmo-champion. com will have plenty of WoW info.

As far as a breakdown of all the races and classes? These links will be a good starting place:

http://www.wowwiki.com/Race#Playable_races
http://www.wowwiki.com/Class

And of course WoWWiki is borked...but so are a ton of WoW sites today. :lol

Also the game client itself (and the trial) been been redone to give a lot more info then they did before on races and classes. The tutorials and helpers have been totally redone with this patch as well so it's not as steep of a learning curve as an FF-style MMO.

EDIT: And if you need any help, feel free to ask in the WoW OT in the Online Section.

This.

once you figure the game out and start playing, you can read about your class and min-maxing at mmo-champion and Elitestjerks.com(where most of the math is done).

Ok...I have the client DLed, DLed the patch from a 3rd party source, and I'm trying to install it. I get to ~55% and it shuts down telling me I need more room on the disk. I have more than 10 gigs free. Seriously?

There was a forum post saying it takes around 15 gigs apparently.

They said they're incorrectly labeled as Major Glyphs so you can put them in the Major slots for the time being.

I think you'll need 11 or 12, the patch was like 5.5 gigs and it has to rewrite the whole thing.

Fuck even more than I thought, I better start to make room.

[TheExodu5]

15gb free was not enough for me. I had to scrounge for space, as I'm using an 80GB Intel SSD.

 

[Evlar]

They said you can't slot them at all.

And a little later they said you could slot them as Majors. http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/772424-Mages-Screwed-out-of-6-Glyphs

EDIT: I see your edit, but I'll leave the link here for information purposes.

Ya just saw that when I went back into the thread.

You might still be able to.

I sent it over and accepted the 'item will become non-refundable' box

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Not the case anymore.

The listed prime glyphs that are currently incorrectly categorized as major glyphs can still be slotted as majors for the time being.

Blizzard now controls every bit you own.

 

[Snapshot King]

I feel like the only person in the world who's quit for years, and what's pulling me back isn't cataclys, but the fact that old WoW is going to be gone forever. I'll be rolling a Lock (now that they're finally fixed :lol) and just getting as far as I can before Cataclysm, where I'll roll a Troll Druid (favourite race AND class? Heavens be praised!)

 

[Kandinsky]

Oh wow, im going to play this again.

 

[KaYotiX]

Waiting on Cata to resub with friends.

[KAP151]

Anyone that plays, how are locks?

I havent played since rushing to 80, which burnt me out. I see people's HP and spell power now and am fucking scared of ever logging in again.

Really just want to know how affliction locks are. She was my absolute favourite char to play.

 

[Animal]

Guys it just let me log in.

And it's stuck at full loading bar :lol fuck me

Gnome Priest! Death to my less cute human one, who is pretty cute to begin with.

Definitely coming back sometime next year after it settles down a bit. Mage and Druid get to 85 first, then the Gnome Priest!

It was awesome when they announced gnome priests and explained that the reasoning was so that people could roll with a full gnome group now. So tempting to race change my human and find some fellow midgets to go and hassle Horde with.

 

[Meier]

I didn't realize the focus patch and all that jazz was going live before Cata. It should be interesting to say the least.

I had pre-downloaded all but a percent or two of the patch.. taking forever to install this. :O

[bdouble]

So I'm re-subbing after this patch just to experience old WoW one last time. Anyone else starting at a low level or starting over?

Would love to get some Gaf groups going on.

 

[Spruchy]

Anyone whose re subbing would you mind letting me use a scroll of resurrection on you?

Would greatly appreciate it.
