They were decently challenging in the ilvl gear they were intended for, especially the 502 ToT LFR crowd.

I have to agree here about Uqua. It was one of the last raids I did before the final switchover to WoW, but it really was an extremely fun raid once it was working properly.

Can't give a fair comparison since I never did hardmode Mim as progression. They're definitely in the same category though...and definitely have the same "whole room on fire" vibe (at least during Empowered Laser Turret). EDIT: SoO is defnitely not the Ulduar of MoP though. Throne of...

Siegecrafter is a great example of encounter design. You have to deal with sawblades, laser fire, and missles/mines and with the quasi-random nature in how they are placed each attempt. In effect then each attempt offers a somewhat different experience in how it plays out. This is especially...

Doesn't really matter anymore. They nerfed the fuck out of this mechanic on LFR. In fact, I would argue it's better to do this so you avoid enrage timer 100% of the time.

Derp, yeah it is. Was 608 forever in my mind!

Nah, cloak is 608. Normal 100 dungeon gear is 615, Heroics are like 630.

LOL well these guys better have an exit strategy. National news picked it up tonight, NBC Nightly News just did a story about it and Smedley being the reason. Hopefully they make an example of these shits.

I've been in the beta for about 45 days now, but yeah if you havent played since wotlk I bet its quite different.

Any of you Alliance US folks can add me Tantrik#1441. My guild runs a 25-man normal on Saturday nights (for our alts), for about 3 hours from 9pm-midnight usually...we get down what we get down so don't expect a full clear (last week we got 8, but started 25min late). Invites go out to...

Endless Starsurges with high gear might be boring, but man can they tear shit up on the initial hero pull.

You're missing a lot of rep stuff then, or just doing it wrong. Just looking back at my achievements, MoP was released on Sept 25th, and I hit pandaren ambassador on November 1st (Draenai, no human bonus). I hit exalted with Lotus on October 17th, so that's about when I would have hit the...

You could have flying by the time you got to Storm Peaks / Icecrown. IIRC you could purchase it at 78?

This is a huge exaggeration, come on. Really the only one that is a huge time sink from the original set is Nat's. Shando Pan assault and Emp Shao Hao are too, but one is a raid rep and the other you grind on mobs for...not really daily/weekly at all. Every single one besides that is easy...

Well if you've read the little comic they released just last week about Gul'dan and The Stranger, and if you know how the expansion starts off when your character arrives in Draenor, you can guess what the cinematic will show.

R.I.P Mannoroths Prince of Trolls - Forums - World of Warcraft Mannoroth forum thread about it. I don't think anyone in there knows for sure, but a couple of names are thrown out.

November 23rd, 2004 was the launch date.

Wrong color.

Are you serious? Zoolocks are one of the most common opponent i run across in ranked play.

First set of reviews are all positive, including two "top critics".

Shadowmoon Valley is gorgeous.

Normal/Heroic will have the option to be personal loot system or normal loot like normal/heroic raids are now. Mythic will be the normal method.

Normal mode wasn't so easy this expansion if you weren't overgeared for it going in. ToT after the first boss, SoO steadily got harder as you went. First kill Garrosh on normal mode was a fun little challenge in the low 550 ilvl avg.

What's your avg ilvl, because it was tightly tuned for like ilvl 555, but these days even casual LFR/Flex scrubs sport 560-565.

I know right...thanks Carl Sagan avatar guy.

fixed that for you

Ahhhh, the often quoted "budget per hour" statistic. ...and they weren't two hour movies, but hey who's the stupid one?

I love the show, and while I griped about the finale, it was still an excellent TV show. My recent responses have been to this comparison that LotR movies are somehow a joke compared to GoT. The amount of effort they put into getting that into cinemas was nothing short of astounding.

Good for you? My posts weren't in response to yours???? So congrats, I guess on reading GoT before I heard of it in time to catch up for the second book. You are the man. My reply though, was to gmstbflaskdhadfs's statement that "OBJECTIVELY" GoT is a "MUCH MORE ACCURATE" adaptation of the...

Oh really? Please point me to this objective comparison. That has to be one of the most ludicrous statements posted on these boards recently, outside of the Pantheon thread. I mean, I'm not trying to argue there aren't changes made to LotR, but my fucking god have there been a ton of changes...

Far better than what Jackson did? Jackson did a hell of a job adapting The Lord of the Rings, especially given the history of trying to adapt it previously, and the uphill battle he had to fight to get 3 movies made instead of just one. The only reason we get to watch Game of Thrones every...

That episode was fucking horseshit. They ruin the interaction between Jaime and Tyrion by basically leaving it out entirely, and no Stoneheart. They thought this was their best finale? Whatever.

From her twitter (@AnneGroell) Anne Groell @AnneGroell ? Jun 4 W7K, 6: Here endeth the history lesson. And yes, I now know more about the history of Westeros than that of my own country/world. #ASOIAF Anne Groell @AnneGroell ? Jun 4 W7K, 5: When Dorne finally entered the realm...

Which does not bode well for his character arc once Melisandre turns her attention fully to Jon.

Yes we did, it was called World of Warcraft. EQ was in the midst of its worst expansion when WoW launched, was an easy choice.

There's far more than 5 million next gen consoles sold. Back in April Sony announced they had sold 7 million PS4's, and Microsoft said 5 million XBox ones were out to retailers.

Why are you talking about the WoW of today? Obviously you aren't talking about the EQ of today. And never the extent of notoriety/epeen that EQ did? Are you serious? Far more people know the names Elitest Jerks, Method, Pargon, Blood Legion than know the names of FoH, LoS, Afterlife. How...

Yeah, no one ever cared about their characters in WoW, their guildmates, and certainly each server didn't develop it's own community of well-knowns and the notorious. Meanwhile everyone that ever played EQ named their first born child after their character....

Uhh, yes you can. The only thing thats changed pretty much is the added quest givers at the entrance.

EQ dungeons were great, yet cherry-picking your analogy just makes you look like the myopic EQ fanboy that you are. Vanilla WoW dungeons have some of the best examples of true dungeon crawling the genre has ever offered. You chose a BC era winged dungeon that I would agree sucked ass, but EQ...
