makes sense, though the link goes 404.. but doesn't the instant lvl 80s offer end anyway before the launch?Quote:

Wow monks eligible for Raf and AV holiday during launch as well. Now I can't decide whether to go for Realm First Monk or work on leveling my teams using AV. Kinda torn...
AV the first weekend on my established team and then do the monks. I don't care about server firsts :)
Nice, Monks on Raf! Im going 4 hunters and a druid normal quest mode on release, hopefully they be level 90 before Weekend so I can then use shammys in AV or start Monks, undecided.
The av "weekend" actually starts on tues.
How much 'phasing' is there in MoP? (sorry have only read from page 15 onwards). Part of me hopes that there is none, part of me likes the way they use it to progress the 'story' behind the zones (also nice tool to avoid gankers when herbing/mining on PvP servers).

I just hit revered with the tillers in MoP last night and was able to plant the seeds that give trade skill mats when you harvest the next day. looks like each plant makes from 2-4 of said trade skill mat each day. at exalted you will have 16 slots to plant stuff in. so not bad to get some free ore or herbs or what ever you want.
Did my own take on some AoE looting in Hellfire Ramparts last night:

Like! ;)
I thought you can't get the rep at all in dungeons, especially from old ones? Though many things will change when beta goes live ;)
Yeah, no idea. It threw me off as well when I was in there.Quote:

I ran through there twice and that happened both times. I'm guessing the BoP blue item from the boss caused it. I'll test it out some more later today.Quote:

More information on that XP Elixir if anyone didn't already know:
Quote:
Drops from Krol the Blade (a rare elite in Dread Wastes), lvl 90 with 4 million hp.
The tooltip now states it's maximum level of 84
When used on a level 90 it gives the error text of 'Target is too high level'.
The experience it gives you seems to be interacting strangely on my deathknight, but below is an example of the exp gain on a low level character.
At level 42, with rested exp:
Mob kill: 462 experience (+231 Rested bonus) without the elixir, and 1848 experience (+924 Rested bonus) with it. (+700%)
Quest: 4350 experience without the elixir, and 17,400 experience with it. (+300%)
At level 42, with rested exp, with 35% heirlooms:
Mob kill: 624 experience (+312 Rested bonus) without the elixir (+35%), and 2010 experience (+1005 Rested bonus) with it. (+770%)
Quest: 5872 experience without the elixir (+35%), and 18,922 experience with it. (+335%)
At level 42, with rested exp, with 35% heirlooms, fast track 10%:
Mob kill: 670 experience (+312 Rested bonus) without the elixir (+45%), and 2056 experience (+1028 Rested bonus) with it. (+790%)
Quest: 6308 experience without the elixir (+45%), and 19,358 experience with it. (+345%)
From the test you can see that the exp gain from armor, elixir, rested, and guild should all stack.
Note, that I've listed the exp increase as '+790%' as thats how the item tooltip lists the increase.
This is of course the same as 890% total (900% with the pirate ring).In the latest patch this item is now bound to account so sadly there will no longer be a market for it on the AH.
I think it's safe to say it'll still be fairly heavily camped though.
It is still consumed on use.

If you are running multiple boxes like me, the directory is TempMig for the 6G download off your World of Warcraft directory. I DL'ed once and copied it to my other machines which satisfied their background downloaders.
Lots and lots and lots and lots.Quote:

Most is npc's that change come and go without changeing the zone as such just make sure all your chars do the quest if not u could be locked out from quests/chains.
phasing happens in org next the bossess room now its a nightmare. the sw keep has the same prob as well but nothing for many to worry about as u nerver go there.
phasing happons each time u enter/leave a cross realm zone. you chars will resync after u leave/enter the zone.
Oh god does that mean lots of follow breaking? I really hate that.
OMG! Awesome!
no rep from old dungeons? is this confirmed? that really sucks, looks like i got a ton of rep farming to do b4 xpac
I don't see why it would change. Gotta keep in mind that it is the beta.Quote:

By this time they all see each other and I can press my follow key and keep on going. I only lose a bit of time but yea, is still as annoying as hell.
And with us losing HGWT, this is something we will have to live with, maybe I will use flight paths more now, I shall see.
This is what I do as well. After awhile , you know where the zone lines are.. i turn on broadcasting and hit "W" until they are all through and then hit follow.Quote:

The time it takes follow to rejoin back up is going to go on your ping/serverload
In other news: today the 14/Aug should give us a date when 5.0.x will be live on servers my bet is next week 21st Aug 2012.
S11 ends August 28th (US) 29th (EU).

Please be aware that with the release of the pre-expansion 5.0.4 patch on Wednesday, August 29, all raid lockouts will be reset. This means that you will not be able to extend a raid lockout beyond the week before the patch release.
http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/2...sions-and-504/
Question: When 5.0.4 launches, are they removing HGWT and doing the talent revamp at the same time?
Basically, what all comes with the pre-release launch?
Should be everything except the Pandaren race, the Monk class, Pandaria, and Pet Battles.Quote:

Conquest gear to honor no cap on honor points
World Event: Attack on Theramore Isle (probs 2 weeks after the patch)
PvP gear changes on all 85 gear now has 2 sets of stats EG crt and haste + pvp resi and pvp power. + brace resi of 30% on all chars
Glyph system has been updated (probs going to need a lot of new ones)
Character creation screens have been updated. (see my video somewhere about that a lot easier to make chars look the same)
Manymore
Absolutely love this, from what I've seen. For peeps who do lots of boosting, this is gonna make them even richer... I don't even want to think about how much cloth I left behind in pre-cata Scholo... ugh!Quote:

So I tried to test the bnet wide achievements thing and I don't think that HK totals are Bnet wide. I think they are account only. All tallied up I should have around 70k HKs, but when I logged in a transferred character I only saw 10k :(
edit: Oh and F U Blizzard for launching 5.0.4 on GW2 launch date. I know your reasons but they frustrate the hell out of me. I wish someone could line up their launch towards the end of a WoW expansion so I'm not fucking bored out of my mind. If GW2 had moved up to July release I'm sure 5.0.4 would drop that same day. It's a business decision, but I feel like it fucks the customer over that want to play both. Thank god GW2 doesn't have as nasty of a gear grind.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry. AoE loot is going to be awesome for finishing up my boosting before MoP, but the loss of HGWT is going to force me to just grind dungeons instead of hopping between them and getting the extra xp boost from the quests... Ugh...Quote:
