Improves load times in most cases...some have been found to make it worst but few exceptions have been found and funnily enough the only one i heard of was halo 3

Also theres rarely games that you stick with one class.At first all i played was scout but i did well when i was hopping amongst classes especially in goldrush going scout and then switching to spy to remove sentry guns then switching back to scout.

Counter Strike?

So has our great godfather, the vagabond of MMO's, the frankenstein of video game and consoles topic Nadril created Tif's largest thread?

I do intend to get all the dungeon achievements simply because it means that ill be doing heroics and gearing up my druid so when i do start raiding i already have a decent set that I can raid with.Just need to hit 80 first :P

No you dont need to be exalted with 25 factions for 25 tabards... Theres the tabard of the illidari (dont know exact name) Competitors tabard 4-5 tabards you can purchase at freindly A guild tabard. Unless it is 25 tabards from exalted reputation then thats an oversight on youre part.

Arent gold farmers just non existant now, resorting to hacking accounts, selling all gear and anything off value and mailing it all off?

Theres these spirit beasts in wrath, like dripping eyes and glowing spots i think super rare in scholozar basin. Healed a UK run, wasnt going so well and our tank deeming it on my less than average gear.Then i inspect him, wearing level 64 craftable leather items taking 14k crits and thinking that low level stamina enchants will make him well enough geraed.Seriousley i wouldnt let a fresh 70 death knight tank a thing. Second run did it without the tank dying once, warriors FTW

I think the notion of hardcore gameplay is something that deserves a thread to debate over. Does anyone care whether they are better than them because its hardcore...At least in MMO's its will over skill.There is some degree of skill but you can perservere spending endless hours on getting a piece of gear or killing a raidboss which then makes the game less difficult for you because youve gained a distinct advantage.Also the fact that MMO's are still about RNG, cooldowns and a subtle turn based system of ability times (ie cast times on a spell) make it difficult to decide whether they truly are skillful, yet i still think that it takes "skill" and knowledge to work out a strategy with teh abilities you have, so im conflicted.Maybe its just how much of a skill based activity you deem it, micromanaging in starcraft or accuracy in counterstrike tehres a lot of ways you could take it. EDIT:Although like other people on the interweb, people seek great pleasure from a beating, whether it be from a boss or:-#

Havent ebeen able to play today, subscription ran out and i dont have any money on my bank account...so tommorow when the bank finally opens again i can resubscribe. Just means insane will be on the same footing as me :o

Looks a bit like early starship troopers (tv)

It's always good to give players nothing to do. :) I've never looked at the raids they've offered in WoTLK, and of course this news doesn't really effect me since I would never raid again. However I do think that "pathetic" is the wrong word, I just meant that it is kind of sad that WoTLK is that easy. I mean, I guess that blizzard is trying to send out the message that they are making it more and more casual friendly, and really aiming for that market. I agree with the casual theory but i think that there becomes a point where it just isnt casual freindly anymore, i dont think 25 man raids are casual freindly unless its obscenely easy and can be pugged.Just the time investment means you have to be dedicated to the game...but still its way more casual, when i was at 70 and we went into BWL it was still pretty hard, those encounters still offered a challenge, i dont think we will see challenging content till the next content patch with ulduar.

Unless they bug the bosses like in bc then it aint going to take long at all.These are entry elevl encounters and for guilds that just cleared sunwell with M'uru, a boss which is pretty much acknowledged as the most finely tuned and most difficult boss ever made and then to come to naxxramus with a bunch of retuned bosses for 25 people, its going to be a walk in the park.If you think about it it took longer to kill m'uru (4 days) than it did to level to 80 and beat wrath in its current state...As far as i know and what ive read from guilds who just after coming out off naxx and fighting gruul who was so bugged he was unkillable,it was an artificial "unintentional" roadblock. Pathetic, no Worrying, yes What i have a problem is that there isnt enough of them.2 of the raid dunegons being single boss dungeons, i would like to hear what ulduar is, how many bosses and how much of a difficulty upgrade it is from the previous raid zones.

Ok so i want to see dungeon content, and mag has a shortage of healers( who levels holy or resto???), so here i go dungeon grinding :P

I know, i was flawed by how huge borean tundra was, going to dragonblight for a kuluak quest (oh epic fishing rod on reagent vendor) i was amazed by how big the journey was.Did a good job with scale. By the time this crosses the wifi network on my blackberry i will be 72 : I think its more the fact that we cant motor about at 280% anymore more than its a bigger continent that makes outland seem so much smaller. 7 bars of 70 left. I think I'll be doing instances to level mostly. Even on my ground mount it takes about 3 minutes to get to the end off hellfire from the dark portal.I think its because its so unfamiliar and im not recognising these landmarks that it seem sits taking longer.Btw i got a glimpse of the gate going into icecrrown and damn its so menacing and imposing on the landscape.

I think on magtheridon, one of every class has dinged 80.

Short interview with the first level 80, locks take note...i just pop starfall and treants :( http://www.mmo-champion.com/index.php?topic=26499.0 EDIT: And as always athene had a part to play in the race. http://www.worldofathene.com/records.php

The evolution in gear design is fantastic. It all looks fantastic, leather looks liek leather and not purple and gold, and i must say teh leather i have on my druid is pretty good lookin, yes i said it im in to leather. So im sat here with my freind, hes at 72 already on his gnome mage, hes gunning for level 74 and me 71. Oh and orc deathknight at 74 :o :shock:

DDR2 prices have dropped incredibly, i got 8gb 4(x2gb) of corsair RAM for the price off what i paid a year ago for 2GB...

I have this pseudo waterproof suade and cotton jacket in a traditional blazer cut and i love it, cost £130 which aint bad.

Being that my room is a box room i couldnt imagine having as much clutter as you guys. As i get older i get less torable for mess, so when im at a freinds in there room and theres some undeewear hanging off the end of the bed, some ripped up lads mag and a 2 broken lava lamps on the floor it makes me want to clean the damn crap up.

I have it installed but wont eb playing it till 10pm.So ive had it installed for nearly 24 hours and havent even logged in :P Doesnt matter because im going over to a freinds and well be playing wow all nighhhttt baby!!Leveling up our mains, hes doing howling fjord and im doing borean tundra

Ive seen it on amazon for over $100

You know feral tanking SUCKS COMPLETE [wagon] for Wrath? Seriously, go resto or boomkin (Depending on the server's needs). In its current form yes.But people forget that feral druids ahve been in a weird balancing act, Feral was incredibly over powered in BC because the level up gear had been designed to overcompensate for there flaws.And anyway im only leveling feral, im speccing resto for end game.
