seconded. my first guitar was a Rogue ST-3 (Strat knock-off) and uhh....... lets just say i'm not gonna be buying any more Rogues any time soon. or ever.

QFT. even then, they're not that great. you're just as well off running the flag as an arms/fury warrior with a 1h and shield. or even a 2h, because at least then you can fight back.

no kidding dude, heightened senses and the new expose armor spell out OVERPOWERED as far as i'm concerned. most of the rest of that stuff was necessary though, but i think they went a little far (especially the kidney shot thing... dear god, i can hear the bitches coming already).

is there any info out on 1.12 yet? you mentioned hunters are getting nerfed, and i'm curious about what's happening to them (my first 60 was a hunter).

at least in 12 hours you could accrue some rep from turning in blood/armor scraps/hides/etc

i am so fed up right now. this week has been absolute HELL. last week was great, i got 160k honor, went from friendly to revered in AV, ranked up, found a new guild, got some new gear. this week however, sucks nuts. it's what... wednesday? i've got a grand total of... 12k honor so far. lag, absolutely wretched login times, and the fact that i have literally been screwed out of my bonus honor FOUR TIMES NOW (i keep getting disconnected from the realm literally seconds before the general in AV goes down, and thanks to the fucking 30 minute "retrieving character list" wait i am unable to get back in in time to get any honor, rep, or tokens), not to mention having been horribly nerfed (SINCE WHEN DOES SHIFTING INTO BEAR FORM CAUSE DAMAGE?!@??!?!?!?!?!?!) have added up to this being a HORRIBLE week for me. AV itself... i dunno what the fuck happened... but... the first couple of days after the patch horde was winning AV at about 60% of the time. since then, it's literally been about 4%. i am not exaggerating. 4 fucking percent. since i hit revered, i have done maybe 20 matches and gained a whopping 1/2 bar of rep. at this rate, it'll be another 6 fucking months of AV to get exalted, and my head is going to explode LONG before that. wtf is going on? we were winning AV in 45 minutes or so. now alliance has taken our fucking relief hut within 5. /boggle

apparently there was supposed to be a hotfix tonight to fix the abominable crashing problems, but they pushed it back to who knows when.

ok this has got to be the buggiest patch since i've started playing WoW. it's getting god damn ridiculous. since last tuesday, realms have been absolutely PLAGUED with lag, crashes, and worldwide spam attacks. half the animations and sound effects in the game are now bugged out. and bear form has been horribly nerfed. hell the WoW client itself is unstable as fuck now. since last tuesday, WoW has locked up maybe 30 times. in the 4 or 5 months before that, maybe... 3 or 4 times? the constant crashes in tandem with the absolutely horrid login problems (i've literally sat at the "Retrieving character list" screen for 30+ minutes on MANY occassions since the last patch) are making this game into a serious piece of shit. i just joined a new PvP guild and on my FIRST fucking match with them we were tied 2-2 in WSG and i was running the flag back for the 3rd cap when guess what? IT FUCKING CRASHED. AGAIN. and thanks to the 30 minute "retrieving character list" load time i was unable to get back in. and of course when i finally DO get back in i am greeted by nothing but angry guild mates shouting "OMG YOU COST US THE MATCH WTF!!!!!!!!" thanks blue. i don't suppose you can refund my reputation as a WSG flag carrier, can you? no? oh ok that's fine, just call me back when you fix your broken game. /wowquit

Gorefiend is broken again... also, I agree with you about civilians. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Civilians should not be PvP enabled. Period.

well Gorefiend isn't listed as down on the realm status page, but I can't get in. It's been sitting at "Retrieving Character List..." for like 20 minutes now. All the other realms I've tried are working just fine... edit: Can't login to the forums either.........

also, AKG K240 is definately not crappy. i would recommend getting a headphone amp though.

err that was an april fools joke btw. i find it annoying as hell that nobody bothers to start groups in PUG battlegrounds anymore. especially considering the fact that i'm a healer, and i get zero CP for heals outside of a group. and then they all bitch at me when i'm not healing them. seriously.

i think each side is from a single server, so it would be like, Gorefiend vs. Smolderthorn or something. you can't have multiple servers on the same side. anyways, i'm not sure i like the idea of cross server BGs... PUGs will probably never win another BG again ever, and 2 or 3 guilds on each side are going to absolutely dominate everything for months. plus it will probably totally fuck up the honor ratios and shit required to get ranks.

i'd have been General ages ago if it were like this on either of the realms i have 60's on. 250k for general ain't shit. we're pretty severely outnumbered on gorefiend too, but i doubt you could talk the insane amount of chinese and koreans on the realm into stopping their pointless HK farming. let alone people like Overshadow or Crezarius.

man the jump from rank 10 to rank 11 must be insane. rank 10 seems like it's amazingly easier to achieve. also: 4 million CP? jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus. that's probably like some kind of record for a priest. i got 220k last week and thought that was a lot. i was standing 55... the people ahead of me must be seriously sick in the head. i kinda like the new AV changes. it doesn't take nearly as long to finish a round, so it's much more viable for honor (and especially rep) grinding now. on gorefiend horde side is actually winning about 65% of the time now, even though alliance can still exploit to our relief hut. i've literally single-handedly won AV for us twice now. both times both teams were fighting the generals simultaneously, and i wiped the alliance team by repeatedly downing their tanks so drek would rape them and then he'd reset back to full health. seems the strategy that works best now is from the beginning the WHOLE team goes offence up until you get to dun baldar then have 5-10 guys recall and stay with drek to keep alliance occupied while they try to kill the warmasters (which is the best time to wipe them really- right after they pull the first group of warmasters, just keep some DPS on their tanks and when the tanks go down everyone else will go down with them) while the offense brings down vandaar. a similar strategy would probably work for those of you who play alliance, except involving exploits and bush league tactics of course... none of you guys play alliance.. right? right?

uhh i dunno what y'all are smoking. there is quite obviously pitching involved.

i'm finding it more and more difficult to find groups as a feral druid. i finally found an UBRS group last night. they had 1 priest and 2 tanks. when i asked if they were gonna get another priest they were like "you can heal, can't you?" and i was like "yes, just not as well as a priest" and they were like "oh ok." You have been removed from the group. maybe i should just lie and tell people i'm resto spec and when they ask for innervate just tell them the cooldown isn't up yet.

jesus gorefiend is pissing me off. it's almost the opposite of smolderthorn. smolderthorn PvPers do shit tons of AB and only WSG on holidays gorefiend PvPers do shit tons of WSG and only AB on holidays smolderthorn groups are constantly raiding UBRS (only doing LBRS for warlord's command) gorefiend groups are constantly running LBRS (i have yet to see a UBRS run. seriously i've been trying to get a UBRS group for DAYS) smolderthorn lower level players end up running lots of gnomer gorefiend apparently hasn't seen a horde side gnomer group in over a year. most of the differences are pretty trivial, but for fuck's sake I need to do UBRS and broadcasting LFG for 5 fucking days without finding a single god damned group is SERIOUSLY fucking aggravating. it doesn't help that the guild i'm in is a flaming piece of dog shit, but pretty much EVERY decent end-game guild requires you to finish the fucking onyxia key quest as a prerequisite to even CONSIDERING letting you join. well guess what? the onyxia key quest requires UBRS. hmm...........

did you just google rogue + overpower or something and post some cookie cutter reply? maybe you should read the part where the guys were talking about the warrior skill overpower. actually, maybe you should just leave.

i just had one of the most successful end-game runs i've ever had in the year i've been playing this game. i hit 60 on my druid the other day, and today decided to try and do warlord's command. well, not only did i finish warlord's command, but i also picked up 7 blues (5 leather BoP, 2 tier0 BoE), including wildheart boots and spaulders. that's some insane fucking luck. also, after comparing the alliance onyxia key quest to the horde version, i'm going to have to agree that alliance have PvE on ezmode.

hahaha PvPing in a good group is great. yesterday was great. we won like what... 10 matches in a row? zircon and I were pretty much just supporting the other guys and keeping them alive so they can kill shit for us. i went through like 3 games without dying once. on one occassion i recall getting gangbanged by 3 rogues simultaneously and zircon saving my ass just in time for the shamans to come rape them. and rape them they did. they were what.. a general and a warlord? never before have i seen 3 epic rogues die so fast. funtimes.

I lol'd. So... is 1.11 out today? It doesn't look like it since there's no mention of it on the WoW main site, but I can't get into the game to find out for myself.

yeah, if you're a non-healer class it's definately good to have a questing companion. hell, even if you ARE a healer class. on my hunter i traveled around and killed shit from like lvls 20-60 with a shaman buddy (Zulas) i made in WC. actually... there were two other guys (Orgrimm and Akilles) on that same WC run at lvl 20 i would run into many, MANY times over the next months. one of them even went on to start a guild I joined (Orgrimm founded Chaotic Embrace) which later merged with Warforce Clan (which Zulas was a member of) and eventually became a pretty solid guild. I stuck with them until just a few days before I gave up WoW for the first time.

holy crap.. i have SO MANY FUCKING WIPS it's ridiculous. but i'll share some of the more recent ones with ya: Works in Progress: * Final Fantasy VII - On That Day, 5 Years Ago (Mastering Stage) * Final Fantasy VII - Buried in the Snow (Nearly Finished) * Final Fantasy VI - Epitaph (3rd Revision) * Chrono Trigger - Corridors of Time (2nd Revision) * Chrono Cross - Dream of Another Shore (2nd Revision) * Final Fantasy Tactics - Aquaria/Fireburg/Town (Rough Draft) * Super Mario World - Star Road (Rough Draft) To Do: * Finish All of the Above (Never gonna happen) * ReMix All of Terranigma (Damn Straight)
