Not a bad idea Fat Tire, But alas, there isn't an insurance policy anymore. I had bought the ranch and a small home about 8 years ago, just paid it all off.

Our friend Ugh, pretty much nailed it. Time in for the plumber came to about 225 bucks, and parts about 75.

It wasn't near as bad as I thought it would be, and given that, I'll loose just two weeks this month, (they expire around the 16th, )I'll be good to go next month. Still sound reasoning from both of ya guys.

C’mon, WoW, or running water… we all know what the logical choice is here!

lol...so true.

Bump. 4.0.6 is live... I think :P

What’s new? Ele any closer to being viable again? That druid nerf bat kill all the dr00ds?

[moosejaw]

Meh, I went ahead and canceled my accounts yesterday. I managed to make myself play twice since my last post, and even as I was making progress in heroics, actually completing several, I just can't be bothered with it anymore. I've got Dungeons coming out next week and LotRO is free to play. With any luck, things will become less sucktastick and WoW will draw me back in a few months, but there's no sense in paying for 5 accounts when all I do is list auctions.

Everquest is opening another progression server next week. I have abandoned my Wow accounts and resubbed my EQ accounts to bang my head against the "classic EQ" wall. I am chomping at the bit to get going next Tuesday.

That druid nerf bat kill all the dr00ds?

Not exactly killed, but Blizzard seems to be funneling all Druids towards playing Resto in Arena/Competitive PvP.

Less bleed damage, but more raw damage... better chance to kill the target from burst.
So hitting harder while on the target, but for less damage from the physical dots when not on the target.

And aside from the Trinket, zero defense against Fear & Root effects.
Can still Powershift out of Snare, but that's only useful when running away... in combat any Snare we shift out of is reapplied constantly.

Balance can still break Roots, by Shifting into/out of Moonkin.
So technically, can Powershift.
But the lack of instant cast root, makes solo Boomkins very vulnerable.
Typhoon on round-robin, or Root (Druid A) + Solar Beam (Druid B) might be workable, boxing.
Eclipse is a really hard mechanic to take advantage of, in PvP.

Resto can break roots, with any shift into/out of any form.
Not a whole lot of changes in 4.0.6 for them.

Haha,
I was leveling my second team yesterday, five demo locks, and after a few quests, I asked myself, what the hell are you doing?
It is a grind, I abhor the phasings, break the follow, and the linear quest lines.

I went to account management and unsubscribed. Took my wife and my three years old out and had fun.
My wife was happy!

If anyone have details about multiboxing being allowed in the new game RIFT, please post. That game looks promising.

Multiboxing is fun, I enjoyed it but Cata sucks.

I will probably single box RIFT, and if they allow MB, then I will do five boxing too, I am thinking of the Defiants fraction, since i am currently alliance in WoW.

SaraiE

If you have any BG/PvP aspirations, roll defiant... I have found the Guardians PvP just like Alliance, which no offense to any realm that is good, but Alliance seems to win 1/3 at best on any realm I have been on...

I just got around to reading this thread. I read it all at once and in its entirety its quite depressing.

I quit during bc because of the honor system changes. I quit during wotlk because at 73 i was sick to death of collection quests and had no pve groups to instance with. Both times i came back but i stayed away over a year the second time. Both times i came back the game had changed significantly, especially this last time. WoW today is not the same game it will be in six months.

Having said that, I have not seen any content in the game past level 73. My highest current team is 71. I am definitely not looking forward to the phasing, cut-scenes, and linear quest lines of the 80+ areas. From what ive read on here, they suck for boxers.

After i get my numerous toons to 80, the state of the game may be different but i doubt the linear quest chains will have been changed. I may end up leveling a paladin & 4 dk group or a 5x druid group to 85 just so i can do nothing but instances 80+ for the rest of the toons. I may just use those 85s to tank dungeons for all the other teams i have. Even that sounds mind numbingly boring though...

Added: i dont plan to farm instances for badges and i doubt i will even do heroics. What ive always liked most about wow is the bgs and world pvp (which lfd has all but killed). Im not going to farm crap when the next xpac is going to drop better quest geens on day 1 or give level 86 toons double hp. What i want to do is get back into bgs and do the old raids.

If world pvp is relatively dead, you can still take a group and go to an opposing city.

Or if that is too hard, pick a nearby smaller town and clear flight masters etc.., which will attract a smaller number of higher levels based on the chat from the lowbies.

If you're on a server with a couple of other boxers... well two or three 5-box teams, can really be nasty in the opposing auction house or whatever.
Even if you die repeatedly, it will inspire them to do the same.
And over time, you get the world pvp rekindled.

The 80-85 process might be rather linear.
But the gear upgrade is monumentally huge.
And the level up process does not take that long.
Which is a major plus.

[Tonuss]

Yeah, 80-85 is relatively fast. For sure you will want to go to each new zone as soon as you hit the right level for it. I think it's Deepholm at 82, Uldum at 83, and Twilight Highlands at 84. The experience boost from mobs and quests is pretty large from one zone to the next. So you can do a sort of 'fast track' by hitting each zone as soon as you ding, then if you want to finish the quests for any reason (like gold, or to unlock dailies) you can go back and finish them quicker at 85.
