@Suffca: Never did that quest. Is that a new one added in the Cata revamp? I don't remember any ships there.

It probably is a new one. I never leveled through SoS so I wouldn't know.

And could you add http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/stormscale/galdur/simple to the list?

Realm is Stormscale.

Well, thanks to the virus I got onto my system, my WoW account was hacked. I lost 15K gold, another 2K worth of stuff to be used for levelling engineering, and everything of slight value in my bank account.

Thank you whoever you are you tosser/

I've made the decision to quit the game for good. All my characters are deleted, game is uninstalled, anything to do with WoW is gone from my laptop. Done.

I just wasn't enjoying it any more. When I got to a new area with a bunch of "Go there and kill x amount of things and return to me for your crappy reward which is worse than the stuff you got in a dungeon 8 levels ago" quests I would just groan inside. The only part I really enjoyed was PvP in battlegrounds, but even those are plagued with people calling everyone 'noobs' for not listening to their expert instructions. I'm not paying a monthly sub just for that. In fact, I won't pay a monthly sub for any game ever again. The community was horrible, childish abuse being flung around, zero patience for anyone making the slightest mistake etc. Ugh, I'm so glad to be done with it.

I ran into a guy in a random heroic with the guild < House Telvanni > I made comments about house Hlaalu being better and we joked around, was awesome to see someone who enjoyed Morrowind as much. I spent the next 8 hours after that playing Morrowind again =/.

Also it's unfortunate you feel that way sneak, it doesn't sound like you had a guild you could connect with and get to at least somewhat know people that way even with the droves of idiots you have your guild to fall back on for decent people.

There were some good people in my guild, and they improved the experience somewhat. The community thing was only part of it though, I think I played it so much and did the content so many times that I just reached a point where I couldn't face doing it all over again. The gearing up, the professions, the repetitive grind etc. There are some really good games coming out this year for PS3 so I'm going to enjoy those instead. I think I'm done with MMOs.

1-60 Leveling is a little fast right now IMO. I don't know if it will give new people enough time to know their class. I was on my rogue that has 20% xp boost in BoA's. I did one BG where I was around 45% at that level. By the time the BG was over (Strand of the Ancients) I leveled up and gained enough xp to almost level again (@ 87%).

While I agree that the 1-60 levelling is a tad fast (The best quest content by far is over so quickly, while Outland and Northrend drags on) I don't think it's a problem that way. Learning a class is not complicated, especially not with the new tooltips for spells and skills that tell you exactly what they do, and even suggest when it's best to use them in many cases, if a player isn't managing to play his class at least somewhat well at 60, it's his/her fault, not the games. I'm not expecting new players to know everything, I don't expect them to know what stats to gem, enchant or reforge for, I don't expect them to know the perfect rotation. I do expect them to do what the game teaches them to do though, and the teaching in WoW has never been better.

With a little reading on the side to learn the optimal way to play, anyone can learn a class and play it well, it's not difficult, it just requires a little effort on the players side.

Well, thanks to the virus I got onto my system, my WoW account was hacked. I lost 15K gold, another 2K worth of stuff to be used for levelling engineering, and everything of slight value in my bank account.

Submit a ticket or call customer service and request a restoration. I got hacked about two weeks ago or so and lost about 30k gold total. Two hours later I had it all back and more (Some loot I had sold got restored, so net gain for me). Contact Blizzard right away, you'll probably get all your stuff back.

Yep, got everything back, both gold and items.

Everything to do with that account has been changed and re-secured.

I thought we could maybe get a little Post Your UI going :P

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/9844/wow2011012217152018.jpg I still need to clean it up a bit more.

Anyone know what the addon is that shows when someone is targeting you and such?

Good, my authenticator is in the mail right now, hoping it arrives soon. I feel pretty stupid for not getting one earlier honestly, this whole incident has made me realise how much I appreciate my account, even if it's not nearly as valuable as many others.

Yep, I've ordered one as well. This has caused the same reaction in me. Although I only have 1 level 85 character and dont play "hardcoe", I was still incredibly annoyed at the loss. If the Chinese want a level 85 Pally then they can level one themselves!

Same here, got one 85 mage and working on my Worgen rogue. I haven't started raiding yet simply because the guild I'm in already has an established raid team and I'm just there as a "friend member". I haven't really got the time anyway, though we might start doing what we did in Wrath. Basically my friends and guildies had alts they wanted to raid on as well, and so I joined them and we formed a weekly PuG consisting of alts from our guild as well as the other top guilds on our server. Might do that with Cata as well, I'd like to do the raid content that's out.

I love Trap Launcher. Explosive Trap was making up 10% of my damage in Stratholme. My new pet turtle's Thunderstomp was doing a good amount of damage too.

Also, http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/8573/wowscrnshot012311011409.jpg. Was considering a UI package (http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info11624-BodaUI.html, http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info15381-DuffedUIv3.html, http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info17749-ElvsUIv3.html, http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info14503-FinalfloUI.html, http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info14130-LUIv3.html, or http://www.tukui.org/v2/) but I'm just not up to configuring things just the way I want right now.

For frost mages, what's your usual rotation?

On mine I just use Frostbolt until either Frostfire Bolt or Ice Lance procs. If it's a boss I'll use Deep Freeze and Disco Frostfire ball when it's up. If someone gets close use Frost Nova + Blink. I know it probably isn't optimal but the simplicity can't be ignored.

Now time to start gearing him up.

Cool, shame it's now utterly useless and ammo no longer exists in the game :P

Not to dimish your feeling of accomplishment though, picking up older and cool looking gear is fun as hell. A friend of mine is in the process of getting every paladin set in the game, then using an equipment manager addon to switch between them and generally be awesome when hanging around in Stormwind :P

New patch out today. What do you guys think?

Frost mages didn't change much and I haven't really touched arcane or fire yet.

I was Survival. Blizzard's blindness to the game amuses and infuriates me. We were not overpowered. Now Marksmanship is doing more DPS than Survival did pre-patch, or so I've heard.

And even though I don't play a Resto Shaman, I'm disappointed they don't seem to be getting the PvE lovin' that they need.

On a positive note, I tamed Terrorpene. Don't know what to name him. Possibly Bowser...

LOL, survival wasn't overpowered? Is that a joke? Surv Hunters and Unholy DK's were the top 2 specs across all fights, heroic and non, in this tier of content on World of Logs.
If you were Surv, and weren't doing insane DPS then you were playing your spec incorrectly
I did 56k DPS as a Fury Warrior on Heroic Halfus 25, our Unholy DK did 80k and our Surv Hunter did 82k. You can look them up on WoL, Semantics guild.
On single target fights such as..Atramedes etc, Our Surv hunter was doing 24k DPS while our Unholy was doing 21k and out DPSing our other ranged besides Destro locks (who were also OP as hell pre 4.0.6).

Don't know if this has been updated since the patch but http://worldoflogs.com/rankings/players/Bastion_of_Twilight/Halfus_Wyrmbreaker/25N/dps/. http://worldoflogs.com/rankings/players/Bastion_of_Twilight/Halfus_Wyrmbreaker/25H/dps/

Maybe your Hunter was good or your other members were undergeared. On average, yes Survival Hunters were top DPS, but they were very close with everyone else in the top 8. Not only that but Survival doesn't scale nearly as well with gear as others. Explosive Shot, Black Arrow, Explosive Trap, and Serpent Sting all scale with RAP and not weapon damage.

As it stands now, it looks like Marksmanship is doing more DPS than pre-patch Survival. Where's Blizzard's explanation for that?
