Panda didn't do it for me. Maybe it was the friends long gone but WoW had gotten stale by that point.

so what do you do when all followers are epic and ilvl 645?

I have all epics now and 20 at ilvl 645. So missions with experience are useless. Do I have to just send people anyway in order to recycle them?

 

[Phoenix86]

You recruit new guys at the inn and get better variety in counters. Suddenly XP missions are worth while again.

 

[Worthington]

that, and if you have a salvage yard keep sending people on Lvl 100 missions for the big crate.

This is what Ive run into now. I send out for all the other missions first and send the XP ones if I have any left over followers. I need to pull my workers and level them up but since they will start to get XP come the patch I might just wait.

 

[Anubis]

if you have a salvage yard, you get the boxes from sending your epic followers out on those

 

[lupi]

Salvage boxes stacking now so nice can't see how they didn't have iit programmed this way at launch.

And after fendign off questions when the twitter integration was seen on the 6.1 ptr notes, one of the devs responds to a personal twitter post that he doesn't send game details over his personal account anymore since they now have the dev twitter account. And then someone points out that there has been 2 new tweets from said dev account over the last 3.5 weeks, and they were about an upcoming kindey shot hotfix, and that the hotfix was deployed.

Get them up to 655 in preparation for the ilevel 660 Blackrock Foundry missions that are coming in Patch 6.1 (or 654 if you want to keep in line).

Price have plummeted so bad. I got a nice warforged piece from my mission and it only netted 12k.

Yeah, prices are down a ton. Fine by me, I've made more gold so far this xpac than I'm ever going to spend as long as I play WoW. It does kind of suck that things like the tailoring pieces are down to 3-4k each, depending on stat rolls, though I guess I probably wouldn't be selling anymore of them anyway as I still plan on upgrading my 640 chest to 655 and eventually 670.

I guess it makes sense seeing as some missions give 645 chest, shoulders, etc. Seems the only thing that still sells for a huge amount is the Blackrock Bulwark.

You guys are master gold makers, i'm lingering around 7-8k on both my 100s, not really doing anything though lol, found that i had the worst prof to start out an expac (alch) and missed the mark on the inscription building by a couple of weeks, never really been a gold maker kind of player, at this point there's really nothing in terms of consumables that can make a dent on my tiny stash which is what i always struggled in the past when i raided hardcore

me too, i don't buy, I play, farming and getting a good drop is part of the fun, of course I'm not much a fan of endgame, more of a completion type person. One of the few that doesn't find doing the low level stuff boring. Of course not playing for over 2 years has helped, recently just started playing again and getting to Abysmal/pand/WoD has really slowed me down, Dont much like the new stuff. And sadly nobody wants to do the classic stuff, try get an heroic BRD, or Onyxia... WoW is going to have a hard time attracting new when nobody plays with the new people. I guess if they can keep exp packs bringing back us old timers it will be ok.

 

[Anubis]

no one does old stuff besides the dungeon finder when leveling because there really is no point, people can solo all of it al max level

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Anyone have any tips on soloing Spine of Deathwing? The roll is messing me up.

It's just a fact of MMOs that nobody is going to suffer through difficult old content at the appropriate level. Why spend hour upon hour of getting a group of new player to be able to do BWL successfully, when they could just level up a couple levels and get better gear than drops off trash or as quest rewards than they could get off of difficult bosses?

There's a fairly specific order you want to do things on to handle the roll/shield thingie. You want to look up a guide for it, I have seen some but couldn't point you at one specifically... I just remember after reading the guide that it'd be fairly hard to figure out yourself.

I see this morning that there's a 15% nerf to PWS going in today. Bummer. I was kind of just getting used to being that unkillable disc priest in BG's (not a fan of real competitive pvp, so I just random BG).

I had a priest in prior expansions, but I never pvp'd on it -- I only ever pvp'd on my rogue and holy pally, and my resto druid in TBC. Disc is all new to me, I should have made the switch sooner

 

[robvp]

nvm, misread the last part

 

[lupi]

Blah, managed to log in this morning for work to send out missions and the servers came down as I was loading into my garrison.

 

[Rhezuss]

WoW is fun again for me. I'm loving WoD and what it brings new to the game. Really liking the followers missions, nice addition.

I'm really not far in though and still in the first zone. I do lots of LFG just to do some dungeonning and get gear and like I did in MoP, i'll finish every zones before moving to the next, even if I overlevel them.

Cool lore around the quests too.

Enjoying the game again!

I think Garrisons have really changed the concept of dailies, but I also think that Garrisons have really tainted WoW as a MMO. Note that I specifically said "as a MMO", because what happens now? Everyone just sits in their garrison instead of a major city. You're sitting in your own little instance, which seems to undermine the idea of being in this social game. But hell... who am I kidding? WoW hasn't been a social game since TBC/Wrath. They've made it even worse by allowing people to get credit for things without grouping up. I mean... it's nice not to have to worry about it, but it really hurts the idea that you should work together.

Those points make complete sense and I agree with you. I am now (unfortunately) guildless, after quitting for several months, and think the whole experience suffer a lot from this. But on the other hand i'm a real casual player where I can log for a couple of hours every other day so LFG is ok with me.

But I do agree that WoW lost it's way since WotLK and the community is no longer relevant.

Until my next unsubbing though i'll continue to enjoy the game in my solo casual way

 

[lupi]

Finally got around to doing a LFR raid. Cleared all first time through except for the final boss which we wiped on once. Not bad for a monday night run.

Yup. I used to lead heroic ICC pugs in WotLK. Now I'd rather not lead anything and just button smash for an hour before logging.

I'm glad i finally did MC over the weekend, got hatespark the tiny on my firs and only full run, i kinda want to keep it but seeing how its spiking to nearly 100k on my server i'm tempted to sell it

 

[lupi]

Anyone else still have crashing problems? On my one comp (8gb ram, windowed mode), been getting a good number of occurrences lately. On my other (16gb, fullscreen) can't really recall it although I only play on that machine on weekends.
