yes there are, sorta
it counts the number not the type, the Green Skelatal warhorse is a different mount then the Purple Skel warhorse + normal and epic count

so

5 undead
7 BE
5 Tauren
6 Troll
5 Orc
4 PVP
6 Netherwing Drakes
6 (?) Netherrays
6 Normal Flying Mounts (3 epic 3 non)
2 Brewfest
2 ZG Mounts
Barons Mount
Horsemens Mount
War Bear
...

there are more but you get the idea

I wish I had a mod which blocked people from being able to inspect me without my permission first. Same with Recount. I want a mod that prevents my info from being recorded there too. I am quite certain neither are possible, but I am tired of the big brother crap.

Inspect and armory are two of the biggest drivers of e-peen in the game. Blizzard will never allow you to opt out of them, because e-peen keeps people playing.

For example, I'm supposed to be ashamed that my level 71 warlock still has netherweave bracers, and start jumping through hoops to replace them. There are a few more quest reward greens on me that I'm supposed to replace with blues, but then purple becomes the new blue and I'm ashamed of some other piece of my gear.

Without armory or inspect the only thing that would matter is if I and did my part in a group. In that case I welcome recount, because it's nice to see your name over everyone else's and know that nailing my DoT rotation is more important than my gear.

hmmm

unholy

well yeah, but what specifics...unholy with 15, or so in blood? Or is the 5 in frost worth it?

I have always been confused with expertise...is that worthwhile ?

A schoolboy collapsed and went into convulsions after playing a new version of the "World of Warcraft" online computer game for 24 hours straight.

The 15-year-old boy and his friends were exploring the "Wrath of the Lich King" expansion pack when he suffered what appeared to be an epileptic seizure, it was reported Monday.

"They played all day and all night. Maybe they got a few hours of sleep. They ate a little food and breakfast at their computers," the boy's father told the Kvällsposten newspaper in Sweden.

Doctors told the father that his son's bodily systems had been disrupted by a combination of sleep deprivation, lack of food and the prolonged period of concentration playing the game.

The teenager and six friends were reported to have gathered at his home in Laholm, western Sweden, on Saturday to play the updated version of the game, which went on sale Thursday. He collapsed at around 2 p.m. Sunday.

The boy is expected to make a full recovery but his father said he plans on limiting the amount of time his son is allowed to play computer games.

I love random inspections where people then comment on your gear.

I was in my resto gear in Orgrimmar and some rogue commented "whoa, where'd you get that crazy mace??"

All I had was a trash drop from Hyjal, but he had apparently never seen it before. Little does he know it's NOT a very good healing mace (although it was by far the best I had seen drop for myself yet), it has no mp5 >_>

poor kid, not used to being hardcore.

I lanned over the weekend...slept little, played LOTS....36 hours or so I think...when I did take a break in between, it was to sleep for 7 hours though. (Didn't want to screw up my work/sleep schedule too bad)

When I was younger, I could do 48hours + stints without any 'issues' and minor naps.

Does anyone else feel like the DK talent trees are really balanced compared to other classes? I think it's possible to make a DPS r tank build with any of the trees and still do well if you're a good player. It's kind of disheartening that most players have already accepted that blood=dps, frost=tank and unholy=pvp because I think all 3 could be used in those 3 applications with the right tweaking. This has always bothered me about WoW though, people would rather follow cookie cutter builds than try to come up with a good one themselves.

I saw that people already though that about the trees as well. But I saw an unholy 75 DK out threat my 74 feral druid...by a lot, and dishing out a lot more damage then my druid could.

I'm making my unholy one tonight =)

No, at least not on my server - Silvermoon EU.
We have DK's running in all sorts of builds doing EVERYTHING.

BTW we 4-manned slave pens without a healer (me being level 62 DK), didn't think it was possible. I guess I should have taken the hint when we did Ramparts without one as well.
After getting my paladin to 71...The DK is so fun to play. Good, useful skills, self healing, insane damage, no mana problems.

 

[spunkz]

4man dk underbog also. love this class so far

I'm extremely disappointed with this expansion, my guild has already cleared 25 man Naxx and Sartharion, would of done Malygos but it just got too late to do her tonight. Iccy Im kinda scared how easy this is, I meen 5-6 days after wotlk was released we more or less completely cleared everything. The only thing left to do is Malygos and she'll be dead tomorrow.

The instances aren't even a challenge, half of them are just tank and spanks with a gimick ability you can live through without trying, the original was much more fun because it was actually challenging.

Oh were all 80 and we brought 25, honestly could of done a lot of it with less than 20, were not even close to enrage timers. Were only top like 30 in the world, could have been higher but we slacked off on lvling a tad and were messing around. Personally I was 80 on sat and if we had about 20 people sat we woulda been US 1/2 and 10 in world on everything. Oh well, nothing hard means anything can do it with dedicated people lvling fast.

 

[Chimley]

Did you waltz in with SW gear on most of your raiders or did they mix/match with some blues/quest rewards?

I hit 80 last night finally, and we did a Heroic Strat run. I swear I've never felt more squishy in my life as a Warrior Tank. I regemmed all my SW tank gear with +def rating and had 28K health buffed and it still felt like I was 1 good hit away from dying alot

You apparently didn't read the massive amounts of times blizzard noted that Naxx was going to be easy, and all entry level raid content would be so, or apparently you didn't spend much time in Beta or keeping tabs on Beta.

It sucks there's not more for people who are already 80 to do, but it's not like they didn't tell you beforehand.

 

[Anubis]

yea Naxx and Sartharion were cleared last night by a combo of 2-3 guilds last night, basicially took 25 people who were 80 from the top 2-3 guilds on NZ, reports were that it was not hard. im sure we would have it all cleared now as well if people cared to lvl fast

its kind of stupid IMO that guild rankings are now based on who had the most people take off work/college kids zerg themselfs to 80

the fact that this stuff is as easy as it is has really killed my desire to lvl to 80 ASAP, im 77 finially able to fucking fly, soo much better now

yes those of us in beta or not knew it was going to be easy. and we stated many many times on the beta forums that it was TOO easy.

you can make things easy without being a joke

Got a Time-Lost Proto-Drake mount on Sunday morning, made that last level (was 79 at the time) grinding seem extra long!

http://webuser.bus.umich.edu/t...oo/proto_time_lost.jpg

It's pretty awesome looking, even more so because noone else has a proto-drake around yet.

how do you get that thing?

I hit 76 last night.

We tried doing the instance in Dalaran, but we were a little short on DPS and didn't know the 2nd boss well enough, so we wiped. But our group also consisted of 3 75s (me, warlock, resto druid), a 74 feral druid (tanked) and a 71 fury war (dps). The heavy frostweave bandage manual dropped 5 times, but our lock doesn't do first aid, so that one went to waste. War also got a nice pair of gloves.

Then we ran Anub'Narak (?) and wrecked shop. Very short, but a pretty cool instance, imo. Our lock even got locked out of the last boss, but we were still able to complete it NP.

the Violet Hold (instance in Dala) does not have a set boss list. it seems the bosses are random from a small pool. when we did it the 2nd boss was something that was immune to basicially everything and then blew her self up and spawned lil water ele looking things and then recombigned at like 25% less HP, it did this 3-4 times and then we had to DPS it down from like 15%-0

Ah. The 2nd boss for us was the void walker guy who threw down these shadow rift things (dunno if that's the name), but they were hitting all of us for shadow damage every 2-3 seconds. First the lock died, then the war, then the tank, then the healer, and then me

I forget what the 1st boss was, but he went down ez.. tank'n'spank.

Edit: We probably would've been okay, but we couldn't hit the things that were bombing us with shadow damage.

lol i wish i could solo kara, id make bank selling everything

Soccerman besides raid drops did you replace anything at 80? we had very similar gear going into Wrath (we both locks) and i have not replaced anything except for a wand because wands hated my guild and i was using the badge one still and swaped in a green with +hit

also Tailoring is a fucking PITA to level, you need something liek 7000 frostweave cloth to get it from 375-450. im at ~400 and UGH
