suzumebachi Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Burning Crusade (and WoW after the expansion is applied) is no longer 56k friendly. Can you elaborate on that? Never heard anything like that. have you checked the recently released Burning Crusade requirements? they specifically state BROADBAND ONLY. Quote
KakTheInfected Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Haven't checked, I don't play anymore I was just curious why it would be broadband only. Quote
lazygecko Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Sounds about as true as the SP2 requirement, meaning it's pure speculation since they will only end official support for it. Quote
Blake Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Holy CRAP I finally did a successful 45min Baron run last night. It was exhilarating(however you spell it). That objective truly epitomizes teamwork. Me (the tank), a priest, two mages, and a rogue totally owned it up with 15 minutes at the abom gate. So yeah, to my despair I received a quest AFTER the 45min Baron quest. I looked on thotbott and there are THREE MORE QUESTS after this one. Man this tier .5 chain is fucking long and expensive. However, I already accomplished two of them; now I just gotta farm Ogre beads and then do some other shit. Quote

PVP gear and stuff you can get from instances is much better than it, for the most part. And obviously, if you're able to raid, 0.5 is absolute garbage when it comes to tanking gear. Quote

In my experience, .5 is better than anything that drops in instances other than DM blues for the non-raider. And even then, once you get the full set the set bonus makes it better even than that. .5 was made for people who despise raiding, like me. I've got the time to be a hardcore raider, but I've stepped foot in MC exactly once. After 6 hours in there, I swore off 40-mans forever. PvP gear does rock though, but it takes a LONG grind to get anything better than .5 gear - I'd say it takes less time to get .5 than it does to get any really good PvP gear (Rank 10 and up). Quote

A lot of my guildies are working on their upgrade quests, and the bead farming takes days, apparently. In short, bring a friend who can DPS, especially if you're prot spec. Quote

Quizzledorf Posted October 26, 2006 Posted October 26, 2006 hehe, i didn't feel like going through a hundred some pages of forum so i decided to ask, does anybody have an alliance character on the server Whisperwind?? Cornmuffin, Lvl60 Nightelf Druid, Balance Spec'd Quote
sephfire Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Does OCR have anything remotely resembling a guild? I'd roll a new character on a new server just for that privilege. Willella, Lvl21 Night Elf Druid (Stormreaver) Cartridge, Lvl18 Dwarf Hunter (Stormreaver) Quote

suzumebachi Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 which is why i say we should all reroll when the expansion is released, circa 2011 (yay for blizzard and the infinite delay game). Quote
sephfire Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I'd roll a new character for that. Now the only problem is coming to a group agreement of whether to roll Alliance or Horde ... Quote
Ramaniscence Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I'd roll a new character for that. Now the only problem is coming to a group agreement of whether to roll Alliance or Horde ... Aye, and sgree on a Central Time Zone(preferably PvP) server. (I say Central because, server time would be right between everyone that way). Quote
lazygecko Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Anyone know where the US servers are located? If I ever considered getting a US WoW account it would be handy. Don't think I can handle anything more remote than the east coast. Quote
KakTheInfected Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 If I remember correctly, the time on US WoW servers was Mountain or Pacific time, so they're likely on the west coast. Quote
OceansAndrew Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 i'd reroll as well, and suggest horde. Quote
Leon K. Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I'd reroll. I also suggest eastern pvp horde for the server Quote
Garde Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Anyone know where the US servers are located? If I ever considered getting a US WoW account it would be handy. Don't think I can handle anything more remote than the east coast. The server I play on "Lethon" is Pacific Time, and is definitely located somewhere in that time zone. I'm not sure if all of the WoW servers are located in the same area, though. I do know that a bunch of servers went down for some time in my area (a few months back), but all the other servers were fine, so either it was only new servers or all the servers in the area went down. I'm pretty sure they have US WoW servers in each time zone for lower latency to each region, but I haven't read anything official to come to that conclusion. Quote
TaVeRnErO_RuDd Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 i'd reroll too..i'd go with any faction...as long as it's US server me and my brother would reroll let's go with the onixya server...it's PVP..new and has no queue..it's my suggestion Quote

sephfire Posted October 28, 2006 Posted October 28, 2006 I'm good for any server or race. Soon as we pick one, I'll roll a temp character there immediately. Quote
Rodin Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 If Chromaggus has 11000 people on it...why is it listed as "recommended"? I joined the server a couple weeks back, and judging from what I've seen so far, the server population is nowhere near that number. Quote
sephfire Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 C'mon, let's pick one already. I'd like to start a character up there prior to the expansion madness. Quote
suzumebachi Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 I think it'd be best to pick from Gorefiend, Smolderthorn, or Illidan. We could even pick two, and like, roll alliance on one, and horde on the other. Quote
