They just need to roll back. WTF kind of operation do they have running? Honestly, I don't understand the business sense of going into an outage that's 2x longer than expected. Not like they'll give anything for free though, but I want to be able to login tonight and lvl.

I just checked. They're saying they'll give us another update at 6PM and that they'll try to get the servers up in the next 2-3 hours. OMG.

Thank you for your patience. We ran into some issues in the testing process which have resulted in delays. We currently do not have a definite estimate on when they will be playable, but we will provide another update at approximately 6:00PM PDT. We are doing the best we can to have the realms available in the next two to three hours.

They need to shut the servers down for a day when they do this kind of content patch. Just shut everything down and tell everyone it will be back online the following day. No specific time unless they want to get slammed. If they do it in the middle of the day they should have a lot less people to deal with.

This would make too much sense, obviously you're not in the gaming industry.

They're slowly turning on the servers now. Of course, my server's down the list. Discrimination against mid population servers!

Update: Woot! My server's up, but I'm stuck at the retrieving toon screen.

from all the delays, it's pointless to keep checking tonight as it'll be bogged down to hell even if you can get in anyway... EVERYBODY is doing the same thing.

damn, really wish i had already installed lotro on my upstairs computer

 

[lupi]

actually a good number of servers just came online.

 

[dougp]

I missing 8 completed quests for around 100k total XP w/ friends bonus. And I can't even get some of them back.

ARGH

Wintergrasp is fuck up. Every vehicle that Horde got counted toward the Alliance total, even above the limit. So the Horde had 30 vehicles and Alliance couldn't make any because they were above their limit. No vehicles = no way to win.

Not really anticipating this patch. Have a lot of reading to do on how to spec out my resto druid.

I have no idea either... mostly because I have no idea what we're expected to heal like.

There's basically 2 major changes to resto healing....

1) Nourish > Regrowth. RG crit chance was cut in half and Nourish's was boosted. That plus the Nourish glyph makes Nourish a better spam heal.

2) You can no longer *continually* roll LB without it costing you mana. If you cast 3 or less LB on a single target, in theory you'll get your mana back. It's casting 4+ to refresh LB duration which will be costing you mana.

*If* you're doing lots of direct heals, not much really changes, other than perhaps using nourish and nature's seed (the change to include total healing makes it more useful) over RG.

If you prefer HoTing, then WG glyph will make it easier to revitalize a number of people...personally though I don't think revitalize even with the changes is worth the talent points.

The only other real changes besides Nourish/LB and WG/Nourish glyph are that you will have the mana cost reduction with the ToL *talent* (but you will only get the healing bonus while in tree form), and also the general OOC mana regen nerf and combat mana regen buff (if you're worried about mana take/keep innervate glyph).

you dont discover them

THEY ARE WORLD DROPS


FFS no one reads the patch notes

Added around 50 new glyph recipes. These new recipes can be obtained from Books of Glyph Mastery found as world drops on Northrend monsters. Reading a Book of Glyph Mastery randomly discovers one of the newly-added recipes.

 

[caivoma]

FFS it is giant wall of text. Who read them? /Jk
but thank!

 

[Soccerman06]

Soulfire

Lawl I lost 200DPS as Fury on my warrior. I went Arms and shot up 700DPS. RIP Fury.

SC wasn't the last server up, but it was damn close. Been reading to try and figure how to spec the alts so didn't do anything live other than a couple dailies.


And yes you get a feat of strength if you had completed the pally/lock mount quest, only new one to show in my log just by logging on. People must be liking the change to the valentine achievement, in the little time I spent in lagtown had like 3 guys pop the achievement when they logged on.

Wasn't even able to check mail or the AH the server was sooo backed up.


Noticed on MMO-c they already have a like of the first handful killed in U-25. Looks like the first 3-4 fell so fast no one is sure who got the world first.

My guild did, Crimson. FL and Ignis are meh cause one is broke and everyone and his mom did FL.

Now that our guild has 6 world first kills, we had 3000 people on our website and 6 apps so far... Oh funny how top 40 in the world gets you nothing really but #1 gets a bunch of people on the RnD forums bitching about were some backwater guild who had a good server. We still killed a bugged boss with gay trash before anyone else. My other fav comments are we suck and are wiping on trash, lol the trash 2 shots people and have no agro table so 3 of them wipe the raid very fast. /rant

Off to deal with the random people wanting to join my guild now.

 

[Chimley]

I give you props for getting through as many bosses as you did.

But honestly.. a lot of us didn't have a fair shot. Our server's Ulduar froze after Flame Levi and never recovered the whole night. A lot of good guilds were locked out of even trying these bosses at all. You can't go around proclaiming World Firsts without mentioning that .

Shit happens tho

We have one of the US top 5 guilds our server (Horde). They were one of the world first 10 KJ kills. They probably would have gotten world firsts in Ulduar except our server was, as usual, one of the last to come up and the first to break and go back down.

Our server didn't come up till 10:30, and the instance servers went down almost immediately and are STILL not back up as of this morning.

Well don't be stingy, how'd you kill Deconstructor's trash? We only got FL and Razorscale down yesterday. We got The Quick Shave achievement on Razorscale, but I'm not sure how it's even possible without doing it that quickly.
