Cataclysm

Re: Cataclysm

Okay I mucked around in the game files and I now have full access to both the US and EU clients servers. Had to buy the game again (for the US servers) but since I have a ton of American friends who are bugging me to roll alts on their servers, it's worth it to me lol.

So have you all decided on a server for this guild?

Re: Cataclysm

Just to let you guys know, I'm an officer for my friend's guild on Drak'Tharon. It's a PvP server and we're Horde. If anyone's interested, send a /whisper to Omnos (me). :3

Re: Cataclysm

The Worgen race looks pretty cool. I know it's supposed to be the next cool thing for all the children, etc, but their racials are pretty well built for combat. (+1% Crit, -15% Nature and Shadow damage) Goblins, on the other hand, have racials that make things cheaper. Paying the lowest price for everything would be hella nice, but it doesn't do much for their combat abilities.

I'll probably end up playing through the starting quests for both races, but the Worgen seem a lot cooler.

Re: Cataclysm

Nah, a goblin would be better IMO. Just imagine seeing a Fury Warrior Goblin dual wielding two giant axes. XD

Re: Cataclysm

Goblin get a rocket belt:

Launches your belt rockets at an enemy, dealing X-Y fire damage (24-30 at level 1; 1654-2020 at level 80). This ability is off the global cooldown.

But I might have to boycott them for their "skip to step three, profit" line, since it's completely incorrect. Step three is ???, step four is profit.

Actually there are only 3 steps:

This is the current build of the game loader in beta ... the top half anyway

I don't play WoW any more, but this seems appropriate.

Well the game loader for me can't decide if it's downloaded a patch or not. I swear that it will download until I can play then go back to setup if I have to log for something like y'know food.

What the hell is it?

Anyways, is nobody else interested in playing as Worgen? Seems like Alliance runs most of the top level PvP play, which is what I'm interested in the most. Horde used to be the masters of PvP, but somehow that changed.

I think it started with twinks. Alliance couldn't work together as well as Horde could, and begun using super-charged characters. One twink could take down two or three Horde. Eventually, it was twinks working together as guilds. Near-invincible healers supporting all-powerful teammates. Next thing you know, they're all working together like that.

WTF are you talking about? My battle group still owns at pvp. 75% of the time we own wintergrasp, and win BGs.

Re: Cataclysm

Wintergrasp doesn't extend to entire BGs, it's a server-only kind of thing.

I've done searches to find the best place to roll as Horde, but on all servers I came across Alliance always dominated. It was practically role reversal. Horde meandered about while Alliance hit objectives with purpose. It's still that way, most of the time, with every Horde victory being a stroke of pure luck.

Re: Cataclysm

I'm interested in playing a Worgen alt, problem is is that alliance dominate on my battlegroup and winning all the time is boring. That and alliance in general are boring to RP as since everything is so generic. You have humans who are all paragons of light except they thing that putting orcs into concentration camps after they surrender is a good idea (between Warcraft II and III) and they also betrayed the high elves and were technically recognisable for Arathas nearly killing them all (Warcraft III), Dwarves that are the same as any other setting, Gnomes that piss everyone off and hippy vegan tree hugging elves and alien thingies that seem to embody all things Mary Sue from how perfect they are supposed to be.

Horde is more interesting for RP because of the wider variety of character types the races support. Blood Elves are most fun to RP with Orcs and Trolls not too far behind though with Goblins coming in in Cata there will be a light hearted RP option which is always fun when you just want to have a laugh while RPing.

That and if you know your Warcraft lore, Alliance are frankly dicks with few real redeeming qualities other than the Night Elves actually being willing to talk to a Horde race. But once you realise that they decided to try and genocide the Orcs because they cut down a few trees to build their new home after they fled the Eastern Kingdoms to make a new home (Warcraft III)... The Night Elves are also responsible for the Worgen being werewolves i nthe first place because they want more druids. Basically they had an entire country cursed to conscript them as druids...
