The AT World of Warcraft Thread (Where do you play) and general BS

What PVE realm does everyone play at?

 

[Aikouka]

I play on PVE and on Alleria.

 

[Throckmorton]

I hit 60 today. I went from 57.5 to 58 to 59 last night, and 59 to 60 in a few hours today. They really have made levelling fast. And Outland is pretty cool. If they had made it easier to get there before, I wouldn't have quit at 49 last February

Battlegrounds and Arenas
Because 2.4 includes major changes to the Warsong Gulch battleground and we would like to get extensive testing there all other battlegrounds and arenas have been temporarily turned off.


Seems there are some pvp changes with 2.4.

 

[lupi]

And BTW, sweet on the attunements for BT/hyjal being dropped

Cool. Just started on that server and im a Level 8 Paladin. My ingame name is Brutos. Add me. Maybe you can help me out

Since they're dropping the attunements to BT/MH, and adding BT quality heroic badge gear, you'll might see quite a few number of people doing more ZA/kara and completely skipping SSC/TK and start working on BT/MH. I, myself, am completely skipping all the 25-mans and heading straight to a Sunwell guild with S3 weapons and a mix of S3 gear and badge gear on my rogue.

Time to hoard up on those badges.

yea im sure people will hear right there and then make great freinds with the repair vendor, gear helps but if you lack the expirence and raid awareness that you gain from doing SSC/TK and Hyjal you are gonna have a really rough time at it

You have to admit, though, that Kael is an unnecessarily difficult fight. Only Archimonde is more difficult, which is insane.

Kael is easy with a couple good prot paladins.

Fast aggro on the weapons, able to hold them through solid aoe. If you're screwing up when Kael's advisors respawn you need more coordination, if you're dying to gravity lapse... you shouldn't be in TK. What makes the fight a PITA for your guild?

 

[invidia]

Kael is a piece of cake right now. There are guilds out there that host semi-PUGs for full clears on SSC and TK. Try Mag before any nerfs, now that was an incredibly hard fight. I did Kael before any nerf hit on him. I still have my number on twin emps and vael during their times as the most difficult fights to learn/adapt too. Vael was very straightfoward, but very difficult to have on farm. I remember top guilds who can farm bwl in under 2-3 hours and still have wiping problems on Vael.

 

[lupi]

I remember from PVE days that someone starting a fight in ratchet got guard smacked down pretty fast. Not sure how its supposed to work, but in the PVP universe I'm seeing a bunch of fighting and no guard spawns.

we dont use a paly tank at all and never had issues with weps, and its a PITA because of retards

we normally 1-3 shot him, and only die when people who we are keying f something up

FWIW i did Vashj Kael Mag and gruul in their orig forms and yes they were really fing hard back then, as was twin emps and cthuns LOL 30K chain lightning nature BS thing

Ratchet and all those other goblin cities are neutral sanctuaries. That's why the guards kill you for fighting. It's that way on all servers

I went through ratchet several times today and saw as many as 8 people fighting without a single guard involved. To make things even weirder, Watched 4 alliance peeps sitting by the crossroads mailbox also not fighting anyone. would have figured they would have aggroed something sitting in the base like that.

I'm learning kael right now (first look at him just earlier tonight) and I agree paladins don't seem to be the problem (we do have 1 pally tank fwiw). Our problem seemed to be getting the weapons down in time. As a mage, it was pretty disheartening to see from the WWS that myself and the 2 other mages there averaged 250k damage from arcane explosion over the course of ~6 attempts, while one warlock had nearly 700k from SoC and the other much lower (though still far higher than mages) since she was the tank for that uh.. that one advisor chick. It seems as though we'd have won if we had less "kings of AoE" as blizzard puts it, and more REAL kings of AoE; warlocks.

The mage class is really getting to be a joke at this point.

we normally bring 3-4 locks and 2-3 mages

Bloodlust/heroism + seed spam = GG

 

[lupi]

As one that has played an affliction lock since release when locks where the class that just got inserted into the game and shammies were the 'imbas, seeing the current state of whinefest around some classes is heartwarming.

 

[Chimley]

There seems to be a lot of neat stuff going into 2.4.. but I am not really sold on removing Attunements for BT/Hyjal. I know Kael is a difficult fight, but gettting him down, and practicing and perfecting your strat REALLY prepares you for the T6 encounters. Yeah, some of them are easy and some T5 guilds can down them, but I am sure my guild "pre Kael" would never have progressed as far and as fast if they didn't spend time wiping and working hard on Kael.

Plus.. a damn title is all we get for getting attuned?? Slap in the face.

Oh.. Mother Shahraz down.. 1 shot. Seriously spent more time and effort farming Hearts of Darkness this weekend for resist gear then on the fight. It's a joke.

Haha, QFT.

We're on the Vashj and Kael roadblocks now (3/4, 5/6) and are going to be in BT before 2.4, I think, but just barely.

Still, the new "hand of Ad'al" title will be nice.

We're definitely geared to do Hyjal and BT by now, though (at least enough to start it and we can gear up on the first bosses there, etc).

they are implmenting a few things that i know of

1) if you hold the flag for more then 10 min you get a debuff that makes you take 50% more damage
2) if you hold the flag for more then 15 min you get a debuff so you take 100% more damage
3) when you pick up the flag EVERYONE on the map can see your location for 45 seconds
