Account was hacked and my full bloodthirsty set and over 7k gold was stolen. Opened a ticket and for some reason it disappeared, even though I was online. <_<

I believe it is time to buy an authenticator.

I'm sure I'll get everything back. Blizz knows all. I'm just hoping they'll get to my ticket soon. Kinda annoying walking around with 45k health. :P

Get at least one war mount, you get an achievement!



I already had the War Raptor. If I do get more I'll probably go for the wolf and warhorse.

I guess there was a massive bot ban that happened. Maybe WSG will be 10 vs 10 for a while. :D

I have a free trial for WoW, I have no intention of buying the full game however I was wondering how big is the download and would it be worth downloading to play for 10 days?

It's huge! I'm pretty sure the trial is the same client as the normal game, or atleast most of it. Plus you've got patches, but with the new download client you should be able to play after you've downloaded say, half that(wild guesstimate)?

Sure it's worth it. You can open as many trial accounts as you want, all will take you right on up to level 20, or 10 days, depending on how much you play(wouldn't take much these days). After that, you won't be buying the game! or will you...

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/area-52/rastaferalan/advanced, my Druid alt. :)
He's very fun to play. I don't do near as much DPS on him as my main (only like 15k in raids, and I'm no where near hit cap) but he's seriously the funnest character I've ever played. Healing on him is also really fun, I'm apparently really good at it, or so I'm told. I dish out like 13k+ HPS in raids.
I just wish Moonkin form didn't look so damned stupid. =/
Snagged an upgrade on him tonight in a PuG BoT run, I was surprised we actually pugged BoT. Got a nice weapon out of it though. :D
Also, http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/1189/wowscrnshot032111012641.jpg
And yeah, I know his UI is extremely messy. But hey, whatever works.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/stormscale/suffca/simple Been one shotting people easily in bgs. And I love how I can finally kill hunters now since they can't run when I use my hammer of justice on them. :hehe:
I'm a little uneasy when hearing about the state of ret pallys at 85. But that may just be bad players crying on the forums.

Oh no, it's happening again. I'm getting that urge to delete all my characters and start fresh. Done it before in WoW and it happens in a lot of other games too. THIS MADNESS IS CONSUMING ME! I mean, I'm seriously considering deleting my Hunter in all her glory. Even considering deleting my Rogue even though if I start fresh that's what I'll be playing as. We need better Internets so someone can slap me through it.

If I remember right the trial client doesnt require you to download gigs of stuff. When I gave the trial a go about 8 months back you got into the game straight away and it just streamed the world around you, so no waiting for 10gigs to download.

You sir, are mad. I have deleted all my alts below 50, 60, 70 before. I could never delete my "Main" I love my heirlooms and being able to support my alts with gold and goods.

:slap:

Also leveling my resto druid. http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/dragonmaw/taunkatruck/simple he's a monster healing, I got the 300k healing/damage achievement at 65.

Looks like we were both correct, from the Blizz support site:

What is the TryWOW streaming trial client?

The TryWOW streaming trial client is a new offering that allows for a short up-front download of the game. While playing, the remaining game data streams in the background. This allows those with a fast enough internet connection to jump into the free trial more quickly.

How can I download the TryWOW client?

After you create a trial account, you will be prompted to download the game. At this time, the application will detect your internet connection speed and, if your connection meets minimum requirements, you will automatically download the "streaming" World of Warcraft game client. If your connection speed is below the minimum requirement, you will be prompted to download the full game in order to play the FREE trial. The streaming trial loads data in the background while you play, and needs certain connection speeds in order for the play experience to work correctly. Please keep in mind that, with the streaming client, you will occasionally experience brief pauses in the gameplay due to this background loading.

The Hunter set does indeed look amazing.
At first I thought the DK set looked pretty baller; upon further inspection, I seem to laugh at it. It's so absurd. It's just like..getting to the point where it's just defying the laws of physics. Look at those horns. o.o

I'm sorry, what now? Hunter's get a set that doesn't look like utter [censored]? My mind is officially blown. Seriously, has there ever been a good looking hunter set? The very first ones looked okay...that was 6 years ago.

Damn...even after unsubbing and not playing for two months I still can't keep away from the game completely...I still read MMO champ, still listen to BluePlz, why won't you just let me move on with my life WoW? Why? Oh well...

I ended up unsubbing Rift as well by the way, it was fun at first but I got to around level 25 (Which takes a while, though i did do it on three characters so I would porbably be level 40 by now atleast had I managed to stick to one :P ) and surprise, surprise...it got boring. Not sure what I was expecting to happen really, I had fun with it but then half of the friends I had with me dropped the game and I just didn't see myself playing it anymore. Resubbed CHampions Online, hoping I can get my passion back for that so to speak, it's a cool game but MMO's in general seem to bore me now, which svcks. I love having a game I can reliably play between other games or when I have the time away from daily life, MMO's are perfect for that but none of them seem to be cutting it for me lately.

Might give DDO a shot, i tried it way back and disliked it, but I hear good things now and it's free so might as well give it a shot. At least DDO has an established universe that I actually care about (Played D&D for years, the fact that I can't now due to real life issues kills me inside...), unlike RIFT.

Have no fear though, i will still be around, WoW has a way of svcking me back in, even if I can't stomach playing the actual game anymore :P

The current hunter PVE set is the worst set ingame ever imo. Even worse than MC-era paladin golden tinfoil armor. HOWEVER: the hunter PVP set is unbelievably badass. Makes you look like some sorta rugged ninja soldier from 1600's Japan. Pure win.


Also, I would like to point out that survival hunter aoe is just disgusting atm. In blues/greens ranging from 312 to 333 ilvl, I was outdamaging people in full 346. Explosive shot + spam multishot w/ serpent spread talent = win. In a recent heroic I was doing, I actually did 46% of all damage for the dungeon (and since I know aoe doesn't matter, I also topped all 4 boss fights :D )

I was doing BoT trash farms yesterday and there are some pulls with 8 mobs... I was doing 25-30K DPS. And Multi-Shot is getting buffed in 4.1. If SV AoE talents aren't nerfed it's going to be ludicrous.

Nothing beats Boomkin AoE. I do 40k+ On the trash pulls in BoT trash runs if I have Starfall up on pull. Just tab target Moonfire/Insect Swarm, cast Starfall, cast hurricane, phatty DPS. It's so OP lol.

The firelord's gloves dropped for me in BH yesterday. What the hell am I supposed to do with PvE gloves? Bah!

I'll just use them for whenever I run BH every week.

I've been wondering about this all day, where does all the gold come from? Items these days sell for so much, into the 20-30 k for some BOE epics, yet dailies and even raid bosses give such tiny amounts of gold. My guild leader for example spent over 100 k gold on 359 BOE items when they were new and hip.

Finally got my UI worked out, it is refreshing. The default UI looks horrible once you switch, I don't know how I ever played with it.

Dailies and AH mostly. Once you hit the endgame and get best in slot gear there isn't any reasonable thing to buy. The only thing you spend money on is repairs, trade goods (if you need for a crafting profession), flasks(if you don't have alchemy) and food. A lot of the time you can just get a guildmate to make flasks or food if you can't cook.

Cataclysm ramped up the gold rewards for quests as well. I can make a few grand a day without leaving Orgrimmar. If I actually went and did all the dailies I could probably get between 5-10k gold a day.
