Yeah I'll make a newb for sure, just not 100% certain I'm going to transfer my main at the moment.

Re: Cataclysm

Got home, upgraded. Expected long download ... but ... wait, I can play already? I just got home 10 minutes ago. (Of course, this is assuming there's no queue, which there will be.) I'm going to start the queue, take a shower, get some food, and if it's still got a long time to go, I'll go run my errands and come back.

Such a welcome change from anything FFXI. I mean seriously the entire process of upgrading to Cataclysm took me three minutes, two of which I spent getting my card.

Argh, watching the login screen for any length of time freaks me out a little. It's like Deathwing is staring into my soul.

Re: Cataclysm

I bet you won't the first time he eats your face! It's just that one moment where he turns his head and looks straight on where I'm thinking "OH SHIT, HE SAW ME!"

Got down into Vashj'ir last night and quested for a bit, wow, what a pretty zone. And I dig the idea of an underwater zone. I only got ganked once - by a level 85 who must have found it hilarious - and I got about 30% of the way to 81. I'm in no rush, I'm going to enjoy the crawl. I was very happy to find that my daily regimen of ... uh, dailies ... (lol redundant) netted me about 150k xp.

Re: Cataclysm

How's this new server? Anybody spending a lot of time on it? I figure you guys could start a guild and begin EXP'ing it up and attain the EXP bonus pretty quickly.

Worgen is fun, but not as fun as I thought it would be. The lumbering animations get to me, and running wild feels like a cheap way out. Why can't they be given horses? Seems like it wouldn't be that hard, since they're already in the game and used by a similar race.

I thought about how awesome it would have been if the Gilneans were originally a Horde race. Blood Elves, or something, changing into Worgen, giving other Hordies a moment of pause when they see another Blood Elf with a red name. Would have been a neat concept had there been better alternatives.

I logged onto the server that was picked and I'm getting FFXI-level latency. I usually run no more than 50ms on my current server but on Dark'Tharon I'm not seeing latency below 442ms O.o

You should be thankful you're not on my home server Cenarius. They tend to run lats in the 800s at expansion releases and when new raid dungeons open up.

Re: Cataclysm

I just now remembered that I said I was going to make an alt on Drak this weekend. Oops. I was so occupied with my characters already in existence though. Aks is about 65% of the way to 82 (taking my time with her, nearly 500 fishing skill though! And I finished the third and final fountain fishing achievement!) and I spammed my hunter up to 20 so I could finally get a stinking mount.

Ganked someone in Hyjal the other day, reason I say "ganked" is because they were at like 8% health, but you know what, people do that shit to me all the fucking time so I only felt bad for about a second. And besides. PvP realm. That's just how it is.

For the most part, Ally and Horde have been playing well together. A few kills both ways, then we usually just end up going back to PvE and working on our quests. We all have the same goal in mind.

Regearing though, now that I got a bunch of PvP gear I realize I should have saved my honor points for when the 85 vendors come out. It feels so weird to replace purples with greens. Like seriously wrong.

Oh well. I'm having fun. I'll be glad when I get to 85 but I'm not in any hurry to get there.

My latency is about 150-200 on there. It does spike to 300+ at times, though never really notice much of a difference.

Will be on tonight if anyone needs a dungeon run or something

Re: Cataclysm

Can anyone do me a favor?

Been googling all morning trying to find images of the S9 PvP gear but everything I find is fucking YouTube videos, and ... you guessed it, can't view that at work.

So can someone watch this and screen cap the Priest set and post a pic for me? Pretty please!

Crap, never mind. The thread said it was everything, not just Warrior. Fuck it, I'll find the shit when I get home.

There ya go.

Re: Cataclysm

Sweet, thanks. Now to run around on Wowhead or Wowwiki (which I can access) to see if there's any stat info, and honor costs and whatnot.

Although I stupidly spent a bunch of honor on PvP stuff without realizing that, hey, new level cap, obsolete gear. Guess I will be running around in 80 PvP gear while running random BGs out the ass.
