Bah they need to remove being able to mount in the arena, gayest tactic ever.

 

 

 

 

 

So many paladin/warrior teams on tonight... got raped and still at a 1588 rating because of it. I know we can hit 1700 but we keep getting some blah teams.

 

Rogues suck against plate wearers.

 

 

 

BTW Installing WoW now.

 

 

 

The 500gb drive we bought was SATA and our computer (being older than camelot) didn't have the plug in on the motherboard. IT's fine. SATA is slow anyway. We're going to return it. So I'm using a 500gb external drive that my sister was supposed to get :lol: . O well.

 

 

 

Ah lame.

 

 

 

 

 

And yeah rogues do suck against plate. Some of the paladin/warrior teams we could do fine against, the problem is though is that the other paladins really outgear my friend. We've beat a few of them but warriors can get some lucky crit strings and ouch!

 

 

 

 

 

BM Hunter/rogue combos have been pissing me off rightfully too recently in the arena. I get burst down so much it seems I don't have time to even retaliate.

 

 

 

 

 

How good are they? Love those leggings, most rogues I know look at them with awe. They never drop, they all say, but they dropped for me first try.

 

 

 

I like them so far. Going to put on the cobrahide leg armor onto it once I find one for a reasonable amount of cash.

My warlock's level 19 now (human) and the quests seem to be running dry :-s

 

 

 

Did almost all in Elwyn forest, picked up some in Stormwind and Westfall and and working in Redridge but they all seem too high for my level . Is it a question of grinding a few levels or have I missed an area?

 

 

 

Any advice where to head next?

 

 

 

Gona try out Deadmines as well soon, hints and tips appreciated :D

 

 

 

Between 19 and about 29 you run into an odd mix where there isnt much content so you basically have to either group up to do quests, or grind. Its the most boring part of the game, but if you can get to lve 30 and still want to play, your good to go.

Definitely, I upgraded to them from the leggings of unending assault, huge boost in power.

I never recall a problem from 19-29 on my alliance toon.

 

 

 

The real part that sucks is roughly 40-58. :shock:

 

 

 

 

 

Definitely, I upgraded to them from the leggings of unending assault, huge boost in power.

 

 

 

Yeah it is.

 

 

 

I also only have 3 more armor pieces that are blue (Shoulder/chest/boots) and then 2 trinkets (1 if I'm in PvP) and a thrown weapon.

 

 

 

Rest is all epics. :D

Do Westfall. If you're done with that, try and do some VC. Are you SURE you have done EVERYTHING in Westfall?

try loch modan and darkshore. Its a bit far to go, but if you really want quests, you'll find em there

oh, if you are in darkshore, go to blood isle (assuming you have expansion). It has alot of good quests to do.

Awesome. Got a 1669 rating so far with my 5v5 team I started with a friend, going to get 589 points this week =).

 

 

 

 

 

My other two teams atm are 1574 (2v2) and 1573 (3v3).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm hoping that we can really push our 5v5 in these next few weeks near 1800+... I think we can.

I've been playing on and off for about 1.5 years now, mostly playing my priest.

 

 

 

I'm allmost attuned for kara, I just need to do durnholde and BM, it seems to be impossible to find a group to them on my server :/

The greesy Flipper

 

 

 

 

 

Epic...

 

 

 

The ugly stick

 

 

 

Hey nadril, i bet you would like this for your rogue

Woo Yeah!! Gots mah epic crafted belt!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best non-raid belt in the game.. and better than most of the drops in karazhan.

 

 

 

downside.. now i've gotta farm for weeks to get enough mats for the robe and shoulders.... and then for the whitemend set after that.

Tried Deadmines tonight and I have to say I was disappointed, our priest left inside of 10 mins and our mage spent most of his time hitting things with a stick .

 

 

 

Is it always like this?

 

 

 

BTW, lvl 20 warlocks bank is now full of green stuff, what the hell do I do with it lol, auction? vendor? If so prices? This game confuses me, RS was so much more simple lol.

Sell the green stuff if you cant use it. Its basically worthless. sell to the vendor. But, if you are doing enchanting, you can dissenchant them.

Is it always like this?

 

 

 

No, but unless you get into a good group, it might be. :(

 

 

 

Honestly, Deadmines is a cool instance. It's fairly lengthy (at that level it is at least), and introduces you to how instance dungeons work in the game.

 

 

 

It's a steep learning curve, but it's fun, and worth it.

kay, I've recently made a new character (Dwarf hunter) and was wondering about pets.. I know the basics from having a night elf one.. :$ Whats the best sort of pets for:

 

Pvp - (I'm guessing cat)

 

Grinding - (I'm guessing bear/boar)

 

Instances - (I'm guessing cat for DPS)

http://petopia.brashendeavors.net/ - a great site for pet breakdown and analysis.

 

 

 

I'd go for a ravager most of the time...if they weren't so damn ugly.

I have a Draenei hunter with a Ravager named Jeffy. :D

Couple new kills with the new guild this week.

 

 

 

Fathom-Lord

 

 

 

He's a shaman you could say that has 3 Adds that need to be killed first( Warrior,hunter,priest) before the raid can open up on him while hes dropping his totems.

 

 

 

Al'ar

 

 

 

Probably my favorite fight since BC. He flies around a large room in phase 1 to 4 different places where a tank is ready to pick him up. Once he "dies" he rez's himself again and spawns 2 adds which when killed makes him take a 3% hp decrease each. 1 minute after they spawn he flies up again , turns into a big flaming ball, and crashes down onto the raid. Super cool looking, too bad the loot was terrible. #-o

 

 

 

 

 

On a side note: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/wrath very interesting.

Illidan has been downed on our server

 

 

 

Thats the guild that did it. Server first i believe, none of the horde guilds have got there yet.

 

 

 

On our server there are a grand total of 2, maybe 3 alliance guilds that can get into hyjal. Kinda slow imo.

1600 arena points now, and I can't decide what to get or if I should save them up for a MH. Using vindi/latros right now, havent had luck in kara yet. If I get a kara MH this week I'll go for the corresponding OH, but if not, I have no idea.

 

 

 

I want fool's bane + gladiator mace, those are cool enough to warrant the pve dps drop :D

looks like minor details of the next wow expansion may have been released.

BB sucks for progression. We have like 1 guild that has been into Hyjal (they are horde side) and the rest aren't.

w00t!

 

 

 

Signet of Unshakable Faith

 

 

 

from moroes! My first time trying him, and its a bit of a challenge with 1 priest. But we downed him after a couple of unlucky wipes.

 

 

 

Just when the ball gets rolling i have to go on holiday... 2 weeks not playing, but the GM says he'll save my spot in kara so np. ^^

FAQ for World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

 

 

 

What are the features of the new expansion?

 

 

 

Wrath of the Lich King builds on the rich foundation established in World of Warcraft and The Burning Crusade, providing a wealth of new content for players to explore. The harsh, forbidding continent of Northrend, home of the Lich King and his undead minions, will be uncovered on the world map, and to contend with the new challenges found there, players will be able to advance to level 80, acquiring potent new abilities and talents along the way.

 

 

 

In addition, Wrath of the Lich King will introduce the death knight hero class to World of Warcraft. Once certain criteria are met, players will be able to create a new death knight character, which will start at a high level. Furthermore, player-vs.-player battles will reach a new level of intensity with the addition of siege weapons and destructible buildings, not to mention a new battleground. There will also be an abundance of new quests, dungeons, monsters, items, and recipes -- as well as a new profession, inscription -- for players to try out. The expansion will include some additional character-customization options for players as well. We'll be going into more detail on all of these features in the months ahead.

 

 

 

How will the death knight class fit into the game?

 

 

 

The death knight combines martial prowess with dark, necromantic energies. Players might be familiar with the death knight from previously released Warcraft games -- most recently, in the campaigns for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and the Frozen Throne expansion, the former paladin Arthas became a death knight and wreaked havoc across Azeroth and Northrend before fusing with the spirit of Ner'zhul to become the Lich King. The death knight is the first hero class in World of Warcraft; once certain criteria are met, players will unlock the ability to create a new death knight character, which will begin play at a high experience level. We're currently exploring various options for how the death knight will play and the types of abilities at its disposal, and we'll be revealing more information about this new class as we get further along in development.

 

 

 

Will the death knight have any abilities from previously released Warcraft games?

 

 

 

The way we portrayed death knights in past Warcraft games is certainly a source of inspiration, but we are still determining how best to capture that feel within the mechanics of World of Warcraft, and haven't made any final determinations on specific abilities.

 

 

 

What role will the death knight play in groups and raids?

 

 

 

In general terms, the death knight can be considered a type of class that combines damage dealing and tanking, but naturally it will have an array of unique abilities as well.

 

 

 

What races will be allowed to play death knights?

 

 

 

We haven't yet made a final determination about which races can be death knights. However, the class will be available to both the Alliance and the Horde.

 

 

 

Will there be additional hero classes in the future?

 

 

 

Yes, we do intend to add more hero classes in the future, but right now our focus is on the current expansion.

 

 

 

What is the story background of the expansion?

 

 

 

Players last visited Northrend in the Warcraft III expansion, when Arthas Menethil fused with the spirit of Ner'zhul to become the Lich King, one of the most powerful entities in the Warcraft universe. He now broods atop the Frozen Throne, deep in Icecrown Citadel, clutching the rune blade Frostmourne and marshaling the undead armies of the Scourge. In Wrath of the Lich King, the greatest champions of the Alliance and the Horde will do battle with the Scourge amid Northrend's howling winds and fields of jagged ice, and ultimately face the Lich King himself.

 

 

 

Will players actually get to encounter Arthas himself?

 

 

 

Players will be skirmishing with the minions of Arthas from the moment they set foot on Northrend. He will be a constant presence as players progress through the expansion content -- which will culminate in a showdown with the dread Lich King himself.

 

 

 

Can you discuss some of the new talents and abilities that will be available from level 70 to level 80?

 

 

 

As with character advancement up to level 70, players will gain access to an array of potent and exciting new abilities and talents as they make their way from level 70 to level 80. However, it's still too early to get into specifics on these.

 

 

 

How long will it take to advance from level 70 to level 80?

 

 

 

We were pleased with the pacing from level 60 to level 70 in The Burning Crusade, and we intend to take a similar approach to pacing character advancement in Wrath of the Lich King. However, the specific amount of time that it will take players to reach level 80 will vary widely based on play style.

 

 

 

What can you reveal about Northrend?

 

 

 

The first area of Northrend we're showcasing is the Howling Fjord, a region of grasslands overlooking massive cliffs at the southeastern edge of the continent. This, along with the Borean Tundra, is the front line of the war against Arthas, and players will come face to face with his minions as soon as they set foot on Northrend. Eventually, as players progress further, they will explore the Grizzly Hills, Dragonblight, and more. We'll be showing off some of these new areas in the months ahead.

 

 

 

What's the level requirement to enter Northrend?

 

 

 

Players of any level who have purchased the expansion can visit Northrend. However, all of the content is designed for players level 68 and up.

 

 

 

How many new dungeons will be in the expansion?

 

 

 

The first dungeon players will enter is Utgarde Keep, which is intended for five players around level 70. Utgarde is inhabited by the Vrykul, a Viking-like race bent on proving their strength to the Lich King, who will raise the most worthy of their warriors to serve him beyond the grave. We intend to provide a variety of dungeons comparable to that in The Burning Crusade and will be revealing more details about some of these in the months ahead.

 

 

 

Do you plan to continue with the 25-player model for raids?

 

 

 

Yes, we've been pleased with the tactics, intensity, and variety of the 25-player raid model, and plan to continue with it.

 

 

 

In what ways will players be able to further customize their characters in the expansion?

 

 

 

In addition to the numerous new character-customization options that will be available with all of the new weapons and armor added by the expansion, we'll be offering some fun ways to alter both existing and new characters with regard to dances and hairstyles, but we're not ready to go into more detail just yet.

 

 

 

What can you reveal about the new profession coming with the expansion?

 

 

 

Inscription allows the player to permanently enhance their spells and abilities and to create mysterious items of power to use, trade, and sell.

 

 

 

What can players expect with regard to player-vs.-player combat in the expansion?

 

 

 

Players will be able to take control of siege weapons and use them to destroy opposing buildings, adding a new layer of complexity to PvP battles. Naturally, we'll be providing some fun places to put these new tools to good use, and we'll be revealing more information about them in the months ahead, in addition to the new battleground content being added.

 

 

 

Can you give a sneak peek at the new recipes and items in the expansion?

 

 

 

There will be hundreds of new recipes and thousands of new items available, but we're not ready to discuss specific examples just yet.

 

 

 

How many zones will be in the expansion?

 

 

 

Northrend will be roughly equivalent to Outland in terms of size and scope.

 

 

 

Will there be any new cinematic scenes?

 

 

 

Yes, our cinematics department is hard at work preparing a new intro movie for the expansion.

 

 

 

Release/Availability

 

 

 

Do you need to own the expansion to play with friends who have it?

 

 

 

There will be many aspects of the expansion that will be available to all players. However, in order to experience certain content, such as Northrend, or be able to play as a death knight, players must purchase the expansion.

 

 

 

Will there be an open beta test of the expansion?

 

 

 

We have not yet determined whether the expansion will require an open beta test. If we do decide to conduct a beta test, details will be posted on the official World of Warcraft website once we've gotten further along in the development process.

 

 

 

When will the expansion be released? How much will it cost?

 

 

 

We have not yet announced a release date for the expansion set. However, we expect to announce further details, including the release date and price, on our community website in the months ahead. Please stay tuned to [link] for more information.

 

 

 

Will there be a collector's edition?

 

 

 

We have not yet made any determination about whether there will be a collector's edition of Wrath of the Lich King. We'll be announcing details such as this closer to release.

 

 

 

Will a Mac version be available simultaneously with the PC version?

 

 

 

Yes. As with all of our games, Wrath of the Lich King will be compatible with and optimized for both the Windows and Macintosh platforms.

 

 

 

What are the system requirements?

 

 

 

We'll continue to ensure that the game is playable on a wide range of hardware. However, we have not made a final determination on the system requirements as yet.

 

 

 

Will the expansion be released globally at the same time?

 

 

 

We recognize that players throughout the world will be eager to experience all of the new content being added with Wrath of the Lich King, and we will make every effort to release the expansion simultaneously worldwide. However, there's always the possibility that unforeseen circumstances could delay the launch in any given region. We'll share the launch timing with players in each region as soon as the plans have been finalized.

 

 

 

What is the ESRB rating for the expansion?

 

 

 

The expansion has not yet been rated by the ESRB. However, we anticipate that it will receive the same rating that the original World of Warcraft received -- "Teen."
