I think you should beat yourself down and send us pictures, lol. Some good sig qoutes from your above 2 posts.

Eh I found wow to be pretty broken anyway last night. When i went to eat food in northrend (where im leveling right now) would just sit down then stand up. LFG seems to be down, and none of my addons work . i miss my xperl and carbonite the most haha.

Addons will be dead for a little while, so you'll need to ditch those. That eating bug has been in the game for a while. You may have luck deleting your WTF folder. You'll have to reset all of your options though, but that's no biggie.

WoW's always broken after a patch. I used to hop on the WoW forums to read all of the complaining on patch day. "FIX YOUR DAMN SERVERS!!1!"

What class are you playing?

 

[CrackerJack]

Servers are going thru restarts, to help fixes some issues.

Prot war, thank god for victory rush healing me up after mobs haha. Ive got an 80 prot war on laughing skull, fairly geared. but buddy told me to level on his server after a month break.

Usually after a patch there would be lag, cause of all the people and what not, and some bugs. But this seems to be more bugs than lag.

MCRL is right. Pooping in the dark sucks.

Was that really all you'll remember him for? lol

 

[DannibusX]

Yeah, but it's the final patch before the expansion. It was the same way for the launch of BC and WotLK. Sweeping changes to the core mechanics are going to bring bugs to the surface. It's essentially the final beta test before the expansion launches. There will be bugs then too.

It sucks, though, but Blizzard is good about such things. Did you play when the game was launched in 2004? It was nearly unplayable for almost a year because of bugs, lag and other issues. Basically the growing pains all MMO's go through. I had to go back to UO more than once because the WoW would be down more often than it was up.

I'm not sure what I'll be playing when the x-pac launches. I have my Priest I've been playing since BC launched, but my original character, the Mage is an option. I got too many alts though, I might run with one of them.

 

[entropy13]

So far I only have a Paladin and DK, but I have to change drastically my DK with the changes coming in Cata.

It bothers me that other people seem to have forgotten this. I have now played numerous MMO launches and they all have their bugs, then people cry and leave the game to usually return to WoW. But I don't think they were there, or remember it's launch, because out of all the MMO launches I have played it, WoW's was the worst. I remember servers being down for days and tons of client crashes and server crashes and other random crap, it was horrible.

Yeah, that's why I pay little mind to day one reviews of MMO's. WoW's launch was atrocious, the same as any other. WAR and AoC were essentially doomed from the start, even though both are great games. It literally takes a year for a dev to squash bugs on that scale.

People have zero patience though.

lol no, although it seems he's more active in gn now than here?

I loved AoC's launch, it was fine till I hit level 55, if they had been faster patching in higher end leveling content, no one would have ever found an issue. For the servers to not crash on day 1 is a huge plus for me, and to be stable and not laggy. But once I ran out of quests on my main I rerolled because I was having a lot of fun, then I got to that point on my 2nd char and no new quests, I just couldn't do it anymore sadly.

 

[v12dock]

Reforging is awesome! Mastory points plus disc... so much absorption

 

[BondExtreme]

Can't wait till all these bugs are gone. I have noticed a lot of spell animations are bugged.

For reforging, I haven't really looked into it. Need to start researching.

 

[olithereal]

Am I the only one who thinks the Mage T11 looks fucking bad ass?

Click on the set you want, then you'll be able to see the set in 3d on what ever race you want. I'll look delicious on my Undead.

[BondExtreme]

Yeah when I saw mages I was like WOW awesome! hehe. Priest's look good but not the best like they always have in the past.

[entropy13]

Rogue's T11 is fugly.

 

[olithereal]

Yeah Priest's sets have always looked good IMO.

I'm thinking of leveling one when Cata releases..been wanting to get one up for a while now. They were pretty fun to play as Shadow back in Vanilla. How do you think Shadow Priest will do in Cata man?

It's hard to tell but they aren't getting nerfed.. that's for sure. hehe. I believe we now rely off of these shadow orbs. They seem a little confusing now but am sure we will get the hang of them or how they will help. lol. At level 85 I am pretty sure we get mind spike and that will tell us how shadow priest's will do.

 

[CrackerJack]

anyone else seen the druid glitch?

OMG i'm loving my lock tho, doing 7k dps on dummy Was in ICC 25m last night and all groups got disband.... we were on 1st boss. everyone hit, then boom disband! but all good i did a 11k burst off the bat.

@1Kurgan1, hey has your dps from seed drop? mine seems like it's drop... alot! then i started using rain of fire, and was doing better than the ppl just spamming seed.

Prot Pally= OP IMO
Bear= trash, having swipe and maul on a cd is really dumb. i kept losing threat. and there new move isn't much. just another single threat

 

[zithe]

my dps in enhance dropped by 25%. ><

Heals in resto are amazing though. 1100 mp5, too! All that time rolling on spirit gear paid off.XD

I haven't hit any raid yet, but I wouldn't be surprised, Cata they are trying to lower AoE DPS and focus more on single target, which isn't bad at all for Locks. I really wanna hit ICC25 though, I was able to pull right around 13k before the patch on almost all bosses, want to crack 15k and I hear Fester might even be able to break 20k+.

yeah i heard there nerfing locks somehow, figure it would be AoE. which i agree, they never had AoE problems. They just lack on the single target factor.

yeah my resto is awesome too, i never oom... never really did before lol

 

[Frizz]

Just got back into the game, using a DK at the moment and... 2 Handed frost DPS is back... woot!!!

I'm glad they got rid of arm pen, it was such a confusing stat to have over STR and AP. Gearing is going to be much more simpler too .

Although I sense an array of nerfs to be released before or after CATA gets released.

 

[entropy13]

Never really tried 2h frost dps, always kept it simple with a big 1h weap and blood. Although I tried out plague already, in preparation for blood becoming more suitable for tanking in cata
