    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Hell I remember it happening in BC. If you weren't a mage you needed pretty much full purples to get into a heroic pug.

    If you save up you can completely upgrade all your gear every 8 levels or so. I went back every 4 levels and updated all my lowest mods, and had enough to cover well over half of them as well as some of my companion's. There's absolutely no reason to save up for the lvl 50 sets. Once you hit 47...

    Yeah are you F2P or a subscriber? Cuz with the 12x boost you should be over 50 and drowning in basic commendations by the time you get to the last string of 45-50 missions. If you're F2P then it's a pretty shitty time.

    Can you elaborate? I haven't noticed anything particularly bad lately. I played an Imp. Agent to 50 in the first few months of the original launch and 45 to 50 was rough, but then again the entire game was pretty fucked compared to now.

    I used to just sneak+hide in a corner and afk for hours. A few groups kicked me in short order but most just never noticed. The best indicator for a group to tell if I was there or not was if the mobs strangely stopped dropping any plat or gems, I was probably playing.

    You could have converted it to a Bnet account back in 2009. In fact you had to by Nov 2009 to keep playing.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I always understood going to work or school and coming back to see your character with more gold/honor/xp whatever. Where I get confused are the 'combat routines' where people get super crazy in-depth about writing scripts to do 1% more dps than an average real player could do, all while sitting...

    You shoulda played Jedi Knight as a dark side toon. Of course it's even worse then. Every single new character and plan you encounter you basically call out as a trap and you don't trust it. And 90% of the time you're right, but people still call you an asshole for not trusting everyone.

    Yeah cuz those 2.9 million people ever saw BRF LFR at all, much less Mythic. Game's just old, it isn't any one thing.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm currently leveling a boomkin. I picked Force of Nature as my lvl 60 talent and have it macro'd into every ability in my rotation, so I'm constantly running around with 2-3 treants nuking shit around me. Basically when a mob gets low I just move on to the next one and dots/trees finish it...

    I don't see the point of the storehouse in this scheme. I mean, even if you can literally only log on once every 6 days, you still pump out more work orders in those 6 days with 2 prof buildings doing 21 each than just 1 doing 36. Edit: And hell, salvage yard is only great if you're doing...

    That leak is pure BS btw. Tons of just plain wrong info in it. Hearthstone had 25+ million by Feb, not 75. Blizzard employees have had nothing but hype and excitement for HoTS. The 'executives' aren't gonna have low expectations for a game with over 9 million players signed up for the beta. And...

    Well, farming them from Pandaria mobs is faster now than at 90, plus you can buy them from AH. I think it's faster to just grind dig sites in Pandaria anyway. If you buy the Mantid Sonic Locator thing it'll limit the possible dig site spawns to just 2 zones for 24 hours. You can zip back and...

    Garrisons really don't affect leveling characters all that much if you're actually leveling them. You will get more resources just picking up treasure in zones as you level, and any resources you get can quickly evaporate if you try to build your base up too much. Definitely grab an enchanting...

    Icy-vein's guide is a bit more concise than skullflower's and amounts to pretty much the same thing. What are you feeling inefficient about? Are your runes/runic power capping? Are your dots dropping?

    The ilvl delay didn't really make much difference...

Guilds raiding on tuesday isn't the issue, unless there are a bunch of progression guilds...

    Reminds me of goddamn metacritic user scores. "I've been playing WoW for 10 years. Put 250+ hours into Warlords, but I've got a job and 3 kids now and don't have time to play anymore. 0/10"

    Ian totally lived in the book. He was the main character in The Lost World. To be fair, at the end of the first book he was in serious critical condition and heavily implied that he didn't make it. Oh and in the book, the lawyer and Muldoon both live. Clever girls.

    Nah don't change the values in the 'edit weights' window. Copy those values into a new empty scale in Pawn. The default scales that come with Pawn are pretty terrible. The Mr Robot scales, on the other hand, are based on SimCraft tests, so may not be 100% accurate for your current gear, but...

    The hell are you talking about? You can get pretty much 100% functionality out of AMR for free. The only thing the paid tools do is cross-reference and sort multiple free lists together for the truly lazy. Just click an equipped piece of gear in any slot and it'll give you the list of...

    No because I wouldn't be able to hit even close to 252 nodes in an hour doing it normally. Especially without flying this expansion. As cheap as ore is, it's still free money sitting in one big pile in your base, as opposed to sprinkled lightly over a gigantic public space with monsters in the...

    Speaking of that, I love that the proving grounds requirement for heroics is actually working. Most of my alts are in one of those 'auto-invite everybody, never actually say a word to them' guilds, and I've heard a lot of complaining from scrubs about how they've failed to get silver 10 times or...

    Warrior Fury Bloodthirst's damage has increased by 20%, and has an additional 40% chance to be a critical strike (up from 30%). Execute's (Fury) damage has increased by 10%. Raging Blow's damage has increased by 33%. Wild Strike's damage has increased by 32%. Arms still needs a boost...

    You just partially answered your own question. You don't pull with Outbreak without the glyph, and you don't pull with Outbreak with the glyph. Pulling has nothing to do with why the glyph is good; in fact having the glyph makes pulls slightly more annoying because it takes a couple seconds...

    I've heard anecdotal evidence that it only counts eligible players, so you won't get 3 drops, but also that you'll get at least 1 drop. Try it out. If the 1 drop minimum is true, then you'd still be beating the odds with 1 eligible looter.

    Don't play on a Mac? Most of the people having this issue that I saw were playing on a macbook so apologies if you are actually on Windows. And try repairing the installation through the bnet launcher to fix it. Or if that fails just do a completely fresh install. Doesn't really take that long...

    Assuming you weren't running any kind of firewall software that logs incoming ip addresses (dunno if the basic Windows one does by default), report the DoS attack to your service provider with as accurate a timeframe as you can. ISPs take things like DoS attacks very seriously and can and do...

    Only if you've got a good imagination. The original windfury would proc 2 swings for nearly DOUBLE your normal melee hit each. Multistrike is just 2 wimpy 30% of normal hits.

    Blizz has explained this before (albeit poorly) and I've explained it here a couple times now, try to follow along. The item squish is NOT intended to slow down all scaling from here on out. It was simply to collapse the pockets of expansion that occurred at every level cap milestone...

    Do not send followers on missions that are higher level than they are, unless you have no other option. If a follower is 1 or 2 levels below the mission, they will only get half xp. If they are 3 or more below, they get NO xp and their abilities and talents don't work. It kinda sucks when you...

    These may be the worst queue times the game has ever seen, but saying this is the worst launch is idiotic. Server stability was shaky as fuck for at least the first month of vanilla; in wotlk instance servers were completely fucked whenever wintergrasp was going on, and that lasted for a couple...

    Not quite the way I remember it. There were those retarded gyrocopter turret-sequence quests that started everything off, where only ONE PERSON would get credit for sinking a boat at a time, and it took 20-30 sec for the boat to reset. There was a solid line of thousands of players on copters...

    I'll be selling overpriced ore and herbs this launch as I always do, but I don't think it will ever be as good as Cata. I remember selling obsidium ore for 3200 a stack, and whatever the herbs were for 2k. I made over 150k that first week or two, and have been pretty much coasting on it since...

    All the gathering professions already act like that in Pandaria. Might as well get them up now so you can start getting real mats instead of scraps for the first few days of WoD.
