Please, please, PLEASE stop sucking so bad. These heroics cannot be facerolled like the old ones, but they are NOT HARD. If you pay attention, they’re easy.

Also, stop ninjaquitting after one wipe. Some of us have a 45 minute queue and you REALLY waste it.

OK… What the fuck is this all about!?

I’ve killed Ragnaros, stormed Karazhan, taken down giant demons…

Killed Kelthuzad and his minions, battled to represent the alliance and defeated Anub’arak.

Then, I laid the smack down to a bunch of evildoers in Icecrown.

Now I’m suddenly a private? DIAF, “Captain” Glovaal. From the looks of your outfit, you bought your uniform from a Village People convention and “fabulous’ed” your way into the Alliance Navy.

Ingrates, I tell ya.

I love it. Immersive and story-driven, clever use of phasing.

Here’s some shots.

Note the description for the hot rod in the upper right corner… LOL

So, here I am, with my Cataclysm Collector’s edition. I have made no effort to learn about the new zones, quests, or dungeons. Have no boss strats. I’m going in mostly blind. I think I’m gonna level BM… cuz it’s levelling, and therefore not serious business. I am sure people will be like “LOLFROSTHEIM SAID THAT MM WAS GUD 4 LEVELINGLOLOLOL” But you know what? I don’t care. I have a Spirit Beast and Goddamn it, I’m gonna use him.

Currently, I’m in the queue. 18 minutes left, 205 people as of 5:43PM Eastern time.

Update 5:45: YAY! only 6 minutes left!

Update 5:53: 18 people left, < minute!

I’m on. Expected more destruction from Stormwind. I’m in Rutheran Village now, attempting to fly to the top of teldrassil.

Yep… you can fly to the top. Neato.

On a flight path to Moonglade now to check out the new Mt Hyjal zone. Graphics engine is different… the water effects are amazing, everything is a little better. I love being able to fly in the old world for the first time, and I suspect that the amount of effort it took to convert the old content to real 3d models instead of facades was staggering.

6:39 – Darkshore is totally fucked up. Nice. Deathwing destroyed the hell outta that place. Heading into hyjal now

ZOMG DEATHWING!
ZOMG! RAGNAROS!

Horde are still assholes. I’m giving serious thought to switching servers. There were only like 5 people online from AUO, so the old “But my guild is here” argument isn’t really valid anymore. Anyone have any server suggestions?

Queue to get back in, so I’m on steemwheedle, no queue. Starting a Worgen

Queue is huge on my realm, none on Khadgar (my old realm), and it’s PVE.

Goodbye, bleeding hollow. Go to fucking hell. Transferring my main tonight.

I have a new computer, new web host, and I’m ready to hit cataclysm running. I’ve been playing Star Trek Online a bit lately, and I wanted to do a comparison post from what I’ve seen so far, which is admittedly not much.

First of all, it’s not WoW. It’s a very different game, with a very different focus. It is more flexible, I think, and more casual friendly.

The first thing I noticed was the differences between Perpetual’s plan for the game (the original developers) and the actual product. The ship was originally intended to be an environment where other players could go, and you were supposed to be able to recruit player crews, etc. This did not happen, and I’m not sure it would have worked anyways.

Your ship, rather, is another avatar for your character. Think of a mount with special skills. The lore reasons for you getting your own ship as a fresh Starfleet officer are shaky at best, but whatever.

This is a game for casuals. You can pilot any ship with any class, and even if it’s not optimal, it can work. Talent specs are much more flexible.

It’s also way easier than WoW, I think. But I think that may change at higher levels, and it’s good from a casual standpoint. The game has made me appreciate WoW in some respects, but in other respects its a better game for me.

When Cataclysm comes out, I’ll probably shelve it. But now that I have a PC and not a Mac, I figured I owed it a try.

See you on the flip side

So, I have had this [Shaft of Glacial Ice] in my bags for a while, but hadn’t put it on to replace my ilvl 245 staff. It has gobs of hit, and I was already capped. I didn’t want to waste the itemization.

Reforging is the answer! I removed hit from a ton of my equipment, and now i’m right at the cap, with the new staff!

Head on over to “Simply Enchanting” in dalaran to give it a try!

Presented in it’s entirety for posterity.

Hi Fitz

Foenix lvl 80 NE hunter Kul Tiras

Am so confused re auto shot. In short, when must I use it ie press auto shot button? My gs is 5.7k and I seldom do more than 3k dps:-(

Was sv before patch 4, now tried mm and bm.

Thanks a ton if you have time to help.

gerg

You don’t ever press the autoshot button. I am going to assume you are talking about steady shot, in which case you use that when you’re low on focus.

I found him on the EU Armory, so I’ll blame the poor typing on that.

What’s of greater concern to me than the autoshot button question is the insane amount of hit rating he has. As you can see, he’s at almost 13 percent hit rating, which is certainly not helping his DPS, as everything above the 8 percent cap is wasted itemization.

Fix that, work on your rotation, and your DPS will get better.
