OceansAndrew Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Anyone else doing the Midsummer Fire Festival? I've managed to tag everything, including the Horde cities (Gnome Mage here), except for the fires in Stratholm, and LBRS. i havnt hit any of the fires yet, but i LOVE the stam buff that stays through death! And i think there's a typo there with Zircon's CP; I'm not even sure that 4mil would be possible with 24/7 playing and 5 min AB wins. I'm guess he meant 420k, which is much more possible (but still pretty damn hardcore; nice work dude!). On our backwater realm, there is a cap system set up hordeside to keep the honor required to rank at a minumum. The reason for this is that the horde population is outnumbered 4 to 1 and we have instant queues, whereas the alliance has to wait 30 min to 2 hours to fight. It's all pretty carefully staged and organized. Goes something like this: 125k - Scout => Blood Guard 150k - Legionnaire 175k - Centurion 200k - Champion 225k - Lt. General 250k - General Ranks Locked- Warlord ( unless otherwise stated ie: running for HW ) for AB and WSG weekends, add 75k to the caps. Once you hit warlord, you just keep hitting your cap until it's your turn for HW. The people locked in usually have staggered levels of CP within 5k of each other, and this way, we have a new HW every week, and sometimes 2 new ones. Granted, people aren't forced into a cap system, but if they don't follow the rules, then they have to pug it, which with the horde population means a 9 on 15 AB match, where the alliance is way overgeared (13 alliance BWL groups as opposed to 3 horde). I don't think this system would work for most realms, but it does for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Author Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I think someone admitted to having a Night Elf Rogue (yuck). OMG someone is playing a character they like. How gross... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakTheInfected Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Sorry. It's just that Night Elf Rogue is kind of hacky at this point, and I think you knew that without me telling you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Author Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Sorry. It's just that Night Elf Rogue is kind of hacky at this point, and I think you knew that without me telling you I went with NE for various reasons: Added Dodge (before I knew of overpower) Higher agility Shadowmeld/Better MoD (I'm a combat rogue, but I put 3 points in MoD, which means I cound like a level 62 for stealth. Shadowmeld being on a different timer meanse I have a quick restealth from which I can move into regular stealth, so I also have a rapid concealment of some sort.) If I could, I would remake the same kind of rogue. However, being a Sword rogue, I still think I could have gone human as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakTheInfected Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Well, Natherizm's lag is putting an end to my second run for HWL. For the past two days, I've had to follow people spamming my hamstring key and getting "It's too far away" shoved in my face even though I'm on top of the target. It's so frustruating. Only...4 months or so until the Wii is out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzumebachi Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 125k - Scout => Blood Guard 150k - Legionnaire 175k - Centurion 200k - Champion 225k - Lt. General 250k - General Ranks Locked- Warlord ( unless otherwise stated ie: running for HW ) 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.

zircon Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 According to Irripius, for me to get from r11 to r13 in 6 weeks, I need to be in a good group 10 hours a day, 7 days a week earning ~100k a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was interested at all I'd go for Warlord, but even though i'm only decked in blue pvp gears and a few random epics, I have no trouble beating the T2 alliance groups just because they don't get near the BG experience. our server really is for casual players I guess. Good luck Zircon, I am rootin for ya! The closer you get to 14, the larger the pile of dead alliance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygecko Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Cross-server BGs have been confirmed for 1.12. This most likely means T3s steamrolling everyone else, and twink haven in the lower brackets. On the flip side, world PVP is being revitalized. Just entered the 20-29 bracket with my new warrior, and it's 80% filled with Rogue twinks on the alliance side (How they still manage to fuck up and lose in the end is beyond me). I'm trying to find out what the best warrior equipment available is in that level range. I'm a dual-wielding fury warrior, I just got honored with warsong outrider so I'm aiming for revered ASAP so I can get Legionaire's Sword, then I just need another 1-handed to complement it.

Solid Krono Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 So I guess with cross server BGs, you could trade with people on other servers during the fight? Seems rather interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzumebachi Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 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.

Shonen Samurai Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 The regular BGs will be for people who want pugs. Premades are for guilds who want to match up. Cross-Server ones will be for dream team match-ups and etc. There will be something for everyone. And that's not even taking into account the new world mass pvp objectives.

Lyrai Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 After 4 hours of trying to find people and people leaving after having to be told 5 times it wasn't 10-man, I finally managed to get all my quests done and get the Midsummer FIre Festival Fire in LBRS. Omokk's Gem dropped, too, and I won the roll on that with a 99. Only other item I got was from Wyrmthalak, the Tindelhaven Staff. I have my Lorespinner, so I figured it's a good 2hndr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzumebachi Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Blizzard are making World of Starcraft 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.

KakTheInfected Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 You should make a group with your friends or guild if you want to heal and be rewarded for it in BG. Too many people are glory hogs and don't care if healers (or DPS for that matter) live to perform their jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazygecko Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Anyone here familiar with the SCT (Scrolling Combat Text) addon? I want it to show how much rage I'm gaining from my hits, but I can't seem to configure it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakTheInfected Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I think it can only show Rage from skills (Bloodrage, Unbridled Wrath) and potions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
