Pretty sure most LFR wipes I've witnessed were on Siegecrafter. Garrosh a couple of times, the Galakras event a couple of times. But yeah, Siegecrafter is the worst for LFR.

...near perfect?

Ah gotcha - yeah, the huntard shit surprises noone, heh. We had a guy do that twice in one LFR and he got kicked. There's definitely some terrible players (nothing to do with gear) in LFR. Sometimes you get great runs though. Sometimes it makes no sense - last week I got thrown in at Garrosh...

Lol, dude, you're running ToT LFR at iLevel 543. I'd hope you're in the top 10 DPS, even as a tank. A lot of people in ToT LFR are going to be alts that are unlocking later raids and people that never go past SoO LFR. That's not "the worst". You're just outgearing the hell out of it. Purely LFR...

As has been kinda brought up before - all about supply and demand. The expansion is old, the content is old. Geared folks can be picky, they don't want to deal with newbies anymore, and simply put, they can be. Tanks especially are always high in demand, so they can be super picky. Granted...

Sorry, SoO normal runs now require 14/14 H.

Yeah, they're going away. They said they were just going to move the popular functions into baseline. The Cash Flow perk is one raiders love, but I'm a big fan of the rep stuff - 10% (I think?) more rep, plus the rep banner. I wonder what they'll do about guild-level gated rewards you could buy...

Everyone isn't on the same world - but servers are linked together in various groups now (called Connected Realms).You can view a list here. You'll always share the world with those servers. On top of that, many zones are marked as a CRZ (Cross Realm Zone). Then, when you're in a CRZ, you...

Heh, I only resubbed a couple of months ago. It's still a 2-3 month quest line. I'd have hated to try to do it at release (was 6k Valor originally, wasn't it?). But at most bestest RNG luck ever, it's still: 1 week for sigils 3 weeks for valor 1 week for secrets 1 week for runestones So...

But then people would be less likely to stay subbed!

Heh, you better get started soon then! I think the fastest it could be done would be like 2 months, if you had amazing RNG luck, while more realistically it's like 3 months.

Eh, you could quickly make that same argument about almost everything in WoW. Some people enjoy the battle pet system just in itself, some people just love all the new pets you can capture with it. But to the root of what I think you were trying to ask - no, there's no PVE progression related to...

No, and I don't think they've ever talked about doing that either. However, MoP reputations at least, once you're revered you can buy a commendation that doubles rep gain, and it's account wide. So at least the grind on other toons won't be as much.

Edit: Bleh, double post.

-Install this addon:HandyNotes_TimelessIsleChests - Map Minimap - World of Warcraft Addons - Curse Get all the chests from Timeless Isle that you can. -Use LFR to start going through the raids. You have to clear the early ones to do the later ones. -On patch day, go to the old raid window...

Note that when it's doing that stupid shit, you can just hit "go offline" (or close the login window), hit the big play button, and log in the old school way just fine. Also: just did all silvers today with an OpenRaid group. Took a long time, as most of us had no experience, but several of...

I'd say I'm surprised, but I'd be lying! You won't be able to find enough people real-time that aren't overgeared just looking for other overgeared people to run it. Start one on openraid.org, just do wing 1. Set a reasonable iLevel requirement (510 maybe?). Put links to videos/starts for the...

Non-guild raiding can be the most infuriating thing. "To get in you must have an ilevel higher than the gear that drops and also have already killed everything." I mean, I get it - they're people just looking to run through it without any learning, discussion, thought, etc. Just mindless "go...

Heh, was going to post the same thing. Here's the links: OpenRaid(it's a site, no integration into WoW itself) oQueue addon:SolidICE(have to install manually - it's not on Curse's site or anything)

I've been using openraid.org. You never know how they'll turn out though. You might be able to find one in oQueue as well.

Probably because there's no actual new content. The stuff that's out there to do is all based around repetition of things in zones you've already seen, bosses you've already killed, quests you've already done, etc. There's still new goals to go for - farming gold, mounts, pets, transmog gear...

I find that WoW has always had just tons to do, and that's no different today. However, if you've played consistently through MoP, you'd have much less that wasn't just direct grinds (like older factions and dungeon/raid mounts/pets, or the TI rep, ugh, or dino bones on Isle of Giants, etc). If...

Yeah, it's supposed to last quite some time, possibly even until level 100 dungeons. Level 100 greens are supposed to be iLevel 580. So that's quite a bit of usage still.

I got faction done back at the last black prince buff - took maybe 2-3 hours. There's a spot on Isle of Thunder where NPCs fight the statues, you can just plop down your guild battle standard, tag the mobs, and get faction. If the pattern follows like it has been - Tuesday morning this buff...

Nice - I finished up Secrets yesterday, and stayed up too late afterwards, but now I'm ready for the last terrible grind: titan whateverstones. At least I still have the two wings of ToT I can do this week while the buff is going. Next week the buff is gone though - I really hope it doesn't...

WoW and D3 have always borrowed ideas back and forth, and D3 has the limited loadout too - so I think the WoW team is trying to get the advantages of that, but without doing it directly. I don't see them ever doing that explicitly, but once they pare down most classes to 4-5 "main" buttons plus...

Also, check out this post for their thoughts on it: Dev Watercooler: Pruning the Garden of War - World of Warcraft (more on the page itself)

That all depends. Every time anyone changes anything in anything ever, you're going to get a large uproar from your current users. WoW sub numbers have been on the decline after topping out in WotLK, so they're trying to get people back in (as always), which is of course part of the reasoning...

If you could kill them while leveling, it'd be useful. After that, it's mostly for achievements and just for fun. Fucking tons. I just came back a month ago, (last played early Cata). My guild is completely dead, and I still have more than I can do in a typical evening. Questing, achievements...

Yeah, I'm a single-toon type of guy., who also does all the quests. I think the zone quests left me in early honored somewhere.

As someone who is currently doing them, no, I'm not exaggerating. The individual Tillers require either grinding mats to make them their foods once a day, or grind picking dirt piles for gifts. I just finished Klaxxi after a few weeks , and that's after using them as bonus rep for weeks. If...

FWIW, the rares you'll run into while in MoP are pretty challenging - especially pre-raid gear. Hell, they may be impossible to solo (at least some of them) pre-raid gear for some classes. Even with raid gear, you pretty much have to play perfectly. Many of them basically have one-or-more...

Maybe the anniversary stuff (new MC, TM vs SS) will come out first? I know it's not the same as a real content patch, but still, it is some new stuff to do. Plus the 6.0 patch will maybe liven stuff up a bit when that hits? Maybe?

Yeah, people in various places thinking it was going to be early was pretty funny. Cinematic was cool, I thought.

I just did it the other day. I was at about 516 iLevel at the time, shadow priest. I got him to just under 20% health twice, but by then I'd be pretty low health (trying to heal up was pointless, as he melee'd too hard), and then add on one screw up, and I was toast. I think I could've gotten...

Heh, it is their 10 year anniversary soon. But did they have all that in it 10 years ago? FWIW, almost every other MMO on the market now has some way for higher level toons to play with lower level people that doesn't eat all the exp from the lower toon. Yes, most of them still leave you OP...

I mostly liked how FFXIV handled things, but I thought they should've done something else for the abilities. It'd be incredibly annoying to get popped into a dungeon and almost all my action bar be rendered useless. Or worst case - find out I'd removed something completely because I no longer...

Yes, extremely. I've worked several places (and work at one now!) that has no QA. I read an interesting report the other week actually that did an in-depth study of development practices (peer review, automated testing, QA, TDD, etc) and related it to software quality and timeliness of releases...

"No version control" ....I don't even.

I think IoD was great, however - it's not really representative of the game as a whole. It doesn't fit the gameplay style of the rest of the game at all, and it makes it very jarring. Contrast to vanilla EQ (or P99) - there's no nice starting on rails solo experience, so what happens? People...
