Wow Cataclysm

[D-G]

Very nice on the eyes. Can't wait to see the cata release look. So far there is massive amount of change, lots of getting used to. But it's looking alright. AoE threat got smacked the in face though.

I used to play WoW until WOTLK.

Has much changed?

I've still got 4 lvl 70 characters, but i just got so over playing it! It took over my life at one stage for about 3 weeks straight haha.

This new Cata expansion looks really awesome and i'm thinking about going back to playing (casually).

divorce + wow = win

go to wow site and click the forgot username and password buttons!

They didn't have battle.net accounts when I stopped playing (january 09).

After playing around with it a bit I think I may have found my old account, however when I went to log in (on wow site) after merging account with battle.net it said the account had been banned.

I have been getting heaps of blizzard and battle.net emails over the past year and a bit but I can't tell the reals from the fakes so I just ignored them.

I cancelled my subscription and it was definately not banned at that stage so I'd say it's been hacked a long time ago.

How long do you usually wait on hold for blizzard?

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

yea id say it was hacked, its quite common if you dont keep updating security details

blizz support is shocking, depends on the time of day, 30 mins - 1 hour

but think of it as a benafit, the sucker who hacked ur account and who has been playing it for however long you havnt, you can just leech his characters that he has spent so much time on

[MUZT3K]

no offence but i played the 10 day trial and i was expecting it to be "wow" but the graphics tottaly suk..cant wait for diablo 3 il just stick to my sc2 till then

[Hibino]

10 day trial graphics are different to the actual game i'm pretty sure. to keep the download small.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping

dont think so, i downloaded the full client 9.7gig

Im looking forward to the new expansion, but the changes in all the talents are soo bloody confusing. Resto druids have been completely nerfed, but on the other hand, balance druids are awesome now.

My ele shaman is in full tier 10 and i would struggle to pull 7000dps in a 25man raid, now with the new talents i can happily sit on 10,000 dps +.

Even though the graphics might not be the best, think of how big the game is, and how many things there are in the in-game "world" to load. The graphics arn't that bad, but with wow its more about the storyline and the characters involved.

Cata looks awesome.....going back to the original storyline of the black dragonflight

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

i dont think blizzard aimed to make the graphics awesome, and you'd be stupid to make such a large game with excellent graphics, because to put it simply...

simple graphics = works on more pc's = more people playing = more profit for blizzard

but also...

simple graphics = room to expand game play = funner game

although i do like a realistic looking game, wow just isnt the type of game to look realistic, its the game play that people enjoy, who cares about good looking graphics when 25 guild members are downing a hard boss!

as for the new talents from the new patch, im still deciding if i like them yet, they are defiantly simpler, and my mage is defiantly hitting harder (was maxing 7k crit at level 76, now im maxing 16k) and i heard pallys are nerfed, the talent trees are cut way down which is nice and neat, i dont like the stat panel that you have to open and scroll down to your spec (spells, melee etc) every time.

they need to fix the BG ques, they always say < 1 min and you always wait longer.

i dont quite understand the honor point system now, you get honor points for everything??? and the badges are different to which i havnt looked at since im not 80 yet.

i never played the classic wow, so what exactly is black dragonflight???

[syfon]

All the badges you had before this patch (frost, heroics, triumph badges etc) were converted to honour points. When you do any dungeon (level 70+ i think) and down the boss/s you get honour points which you then use to buy your tier 10 gear with and shiiiiit.

In classic wow & wow "lore", there were the "dragonflights". Green, red, blue, black (maybe one more cant remember haha), and the head of each dragonflight was in charge of some serious shit. In the end, neltharion the earth-warder (now known as deathwing) betrayed them all and now he comes back in cataclysm and looks like he is going to f**k some shit up.

Go to www.wowwiki.com and have a read about WoW Lore from Vanilla WoW......the history behind WoW etc is really interesting to read

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

might have to, i was new at the end of classic wow!

[syfon]

Ahhh Blizz just released the new cinematic for Cataclysm....pretty cool, shows Deathwing having his armour forged on and the cataclysm happening. Watch it with the sound up hahaha

[ClutchBurndout-:(]

popped level 79 last night

wewwwwww

[syfon]

Haha just do random dungeon after random dungeon, so you will hit 80 in no time and have heaps of justice points for better gear

I'm slowly gearing up my druid, and my shaman is pratically full tier 10, heroic 25m gear lol.

nice!

i have a 80 rogue in random gears, i dont know much about the tiers so i cant really say what hes got

[syfon]

My gear on my shaman is all item level 264 or higher. which is basically tier 10

[ookami]

Yeah patch 4.0.1 really put a dampener on Cata for me, the changes wasn't what i was expecting (I wasn't reading the Beta notes either) I just can;t say I'm impressed with the talent tree changes. Atleast with Wrath and BC the Talent trees introduced so many new abilities for all classes, cata is just the same old with the worthless talents taken out.

At this stage I stuck between playing Alliance or Horde. Horde races are much more manly, but I'm sick of the KB warriors, plus worgens look tops - wonder if the dickheads will follow and barrens chat move to goldshire ...

[syfon]

haha so true about the horde ookami.

Now that there will be more people in the barrens it will be entertaining once again to just listen haha

[Hibino]

Just got off the phone to blizzard. Found my account. I cancelled jan 2009 but it got hacked... got banned only like 3 months later so I doubt I'll have 12 lvl 80's waiting for me

Gotta wait for account management to remove the ban.
