[telva]

So the lock was successfully twinked through WC and SFK(2x) yesterday. He gained a total of 2 levels and alot of gold and sellable items, but little usable gear...for now. I thank Waib for dual boxing the twinking. His priest leveled 2x and got some stuff himself. Jamie of course should have joined us earlier because he could have racked up the phat loot for his Shammy.

Tonight I won't be doing anything with the guild :p I have real life obligations (same for next Wednesday), I have a birthday function and a work function tonight. So whatever you do, have fun, and remember we are a guild so sponsor guild activities by showing up and participating. I have been sort of slack about it myself and so I am chastising myself as well.

To all you bastards who are done with school....I hate you. I have another 10 days of work before my vacation so I am jealous as hell.

To all the women out there, why do you suck? Why oh why do you have to remember every detail of the past and not let stupid shit go? Is that our punishment for eating the apple you gave us? (No PMs please about what is wrong and if things are ok, there is no need)

Sometimes I wonder this myself telva, lol.

[Apolyon]

Still stuck at job for tonight so I won't be there at all :(
And yes Telva they have that "power" to remember things like that. There is no real way to escape this, or if anyone know a trick, please tell me about it.

the soul purpose they remember it is because there brain stores it in a lil, KEEP THIS INFO FOR A FIGHT folder, and at random selection they pull one out and go hey Do you remember when.....well i do and...../shit has hit the fan

Watch the dane cook dvd's for good advice telva

For us to forget this or for them to keep them from remembering?

[Chulainn]

telva I have a horde druid (9) and warrior (15) that I can dual box as well... just haven't gotten around to doing much with them.

[Remmington]

does it really matter?

[Kai]

Morning all. Women don't fight fair, and they know they don't have to. Most of the women I've known also don't pull punches in fights... again because they know they generally don't have to. We can't REALLY win in the short run OR the long run. May as well get used to losing or being lonely. :P Heh, no offense ladies!

How was the "honor train" last night? ;) Still successful even under the nerfed honor awards? I missed the train last night. I got home around 9pm from a late dinner to discover that my grandfather went into the hospital, so I headed right back out.

Telva are you leveling Horde for the heck of it or for a particular reason? Just wondering. I pretty much dropped mine when Slaire outleveled me. (not hard to do) Wouldn't mind picking it back up again if you want a playing partner around level 30. If not that or raiding, the honor grind beckons.

[Winsome]

There were a couple of "honor trains" last night. I was in the "Alterac Valley" version, and Hatchetface would have thrown up in his mouth: We went 7-1 against the Horde.

The only Horde win was the one time they didn't try to exploit. Every other time, they spent ages trying to solo pull the boss, and we'd just fearbomb/wipe them over and over again until our team won.

[telva]

I am leveling my lock for a couple of reasons:

a) it is something completely different. It uses mana (I guess it does, I rarely have to drink) and it has a pet.

b) from a PvP perspective they have always interested me. Something about the dot curse deathcoil fear dot death combination caught my eye.

c) I have never leveled a horde toon past 16 and had never been in a horde instance. In the last 2 weeks I have been to Ragefire Chasm, WC, and SFK. I really like SFK but nothing so far can hold the deadmines' jock.

d) to get away from the alliance side. There is alot to say about doing stuff without the noise and hassle that alliance side brings. I am a loner in real life so being on the other side where few ppl know who am I has its pluses. Heck I joined a guild last night, and I think I am going to drop out of it today because I actually was distracted by the green text.

I will hop back on the honor train tomorrow especially since it seems we are going back to more WSG. I played a little AV yesterday and it was fun playing defense. You get alot more action there and I tried playing different. Rather than being a battering ram I hung back and guarded flags away from the main group. It worked well and I ended up #1 in KBs and had fewer deaths, plus the D totally wtf owned the horde and we won before they capped the Aid Station.

[Apolyon]

does it really matter?

Yes, cause I don't drink at all, should I start???

[Nayle]

FFS Blizzard one thing after a fucking nother.....................

Trinket is now 40 energy instead of 60 @ level 60....

quite possibly if your involved with a woman

[Winsome]

Lifegiving Gem = Nerfed.

Rentaki Charm = Nerfed.

Transcendence Set = Nerfed.

Stormrage Set = Nerfed.

Rune of Metamorphasis = Nerfed.

Fetish of the Sandreaver = Nerfed.

Eye of Diminution = Nerfed.

The list goes on. A tough day for beta.

[Hobben]

Ill be all about honor on thursday night, save a spot for me, im slowly getting close to that 45k. Then ill be all about strat as i have 0 orbs :(.

In other news 2 finals today boooooo, im getting ready to go leave to one here in the next 30min or so.

I hate school
hob

[telva]

Btw, Hobben, you should really really get the GM 2H Mace especially since you want to respec MS for a bit for PvP. The mace spec proc is so much better than 5 crit with the polearm especially since it gives rage when it procs.

[Hobben]

Im thinking sword.

hob

[telva]

You have to paste the contents, I can't follow wow links from work.

[Hobben]

Heya gang,

Just to let you know, a hotfix for Mace Spec should be going in sometime soon that should increase the rage awarded on proc, but lower the proc rate.

The proc should roughly be 11% with a 3.80 speed weapon, 8% with a 2.80 speed, and 4% with a 1.70 speed.

The rage awarded should now be 6 points on proc.

The tooltip will reflect this in a future patch.

[telva]

Once again, you can't trust blue, but either way it is still good.

[Hobben]

True but if his numbers are right, and the people that say the current proc rate is around 30%ish(blue posted on the actual rate it was 32%) its a pretty good nerf. And it might not be way better then sword or axe spec anymore.

So assuming BLUE is not pulling our leg, yeah its a nerf, but it still procs more then swrod spec based on the %, but then again I would think sword spec would do more "damage". Mace spec is like what a 3sec stun?

hob

[telva]

Hrmm, I think I like this change more than the current way it works. Though it won't stun as often, we will be able to perform a higher damage move while the stun is in effect (weapon damage + 6 rage). It iwll be interesting to see how it works once implemented.

[telva]

Yes sword spec will do more damage, but in PvP it isn't always about doing damage. Heck Waib could probably heal himself through a shit ton of damage, but if he is stunned he isn't healing which means he could die.

[Jakal]

Haha Im done with school as of last night, but I have to work all break so that fucking sucks.

But then again I think Im still drunk from last night, yes I know I broke my oath, but there was a girl I was hitting on and I stayed at the bars till close, drank more than I thought

[Kai]

I still haven't been through RFC or WC at level, and my only trip through SFK was a guided tour. You're right about the Deadmines. My jaw actually dropped when I first saw the pirate ship. Good times. I still haven't seen about a third of the instances in the game and it's always fun to see something new.

Actually, your reasons make a pretty good argument for playing over there as a "break" from Alliance level 60 play. I originally made my lock there to play with the guild of folks that got me to join Dalaran in the first place. (after they switched from Alliance to Horde) I mostly had to solo to catch up though, and I got bored with the grind. A dozen levels of spamming the same 3 DoT's and having my VW tank got really old, even if it was safe and effective.

Oh, you'll burn through mana a lot faster when you start engaging 2-3 mobs at a time, or at least I did.

I am leveling my lock for a couple of reasons:

a) it is something completely different. It uses mana (I guess it does, I rarely have to drink) and it has a pet.

b) from a PvP perspective they have always interested me. Something about the dot curse deathcoil fear dot death combination caught my eye.

[Ceries]

Telva check your PM box and no I'm not asking you whats wrong :P

[telva]

I told everyone that I wanted to stop using the PM mechanism because I don't trust Officer X!

Too bad I dont have your email :P And you arent on AIM.

[Ceries]

Dont poke dead things unless its with sticks who knows what germs they have

[Remmington]

[telva]

The problem is Waib isn't around to poke.

Anyone know of a good motherboard for an Intel Core 2 Duo E6300? ><

I'm very tempted to make a joke about being married... but I'll let it go. :P

[telva]

Something like, Ceries has been poked so many times it feels dead?

[Ceries]

:O Its more like Ceries needs a good poking til she feels dead

[Apolyon]

Is this thread rate yet?

[telva]

Ceries is from the Valley ...

[Ceries]

thread is dead it died hours ago lol

[Kai]

Something like, Ceries has been poked so many times it feels dead?
Let me clarify by saying I was going to make a joke about MY marriage and poking dead things. Anyone else's needs to poke or be poked are their own concern. :D Good luck Ceries!

[telva]

Obviously the thread is alive and well, some ppl just don't like it when things they say come back and bite them in the ass. However I have a feeling she likes that sort of thing.

Good subject change. You too Pol. Try to bring a little life to things and get shot down. It's amazing how many similarities there are between the thread and my married life.... :P

[Apolyon]

Pol: There is 2 PCi-Xpress 16x so I think that the answer is yes (if you want to be sure, download the user guide on www.msicomputer.com )

Ceries: mastering the distraction method is only a sign that they have brain and they know how to use it :)

[Apolyon]

350 post :)

[telva]

Ap, according to Polaris's link there is only 1 PCI-E 16x slot, the other is a 4x slot which some ppl were complaining about. Of course Polaris could have linked the wrong MB.

[Apolyon]

Telva is right, 1 16x and the other 4x.

My bad, sorry

[Ceries]

I'm trying to decide what to do for dinner to be nice to my husband. he's had a tough week. I'm thinking of putting the kids to bed early and going to get his favorite take out.

[Apolyon]

I think that this one is ok Pol:

I had a lot of fun leveling my shaman for a lot of these same reasons. I figured I had been paying $15 a month to see 1/2 a game. It is pretty cool play the game from the other side of the fence.

There really is a different culture no Horde side. I started my shaman on Dalaran but since transferred him to another server. You'll find out later that LBRS is used a lot more. The Onyxia key chain, imo, is much cooler than it is for alliance. Alliance has a cool "story" behind it, but with the horde version you get to kill dragons all over the globe.

It's also pretty cool to try to find the "horde" version of quest 'x'. There are some that are the same and some not-so-much.

If you created this character on Dalaran, you'll have the added adventure of getting yourself to Gadget or STV so that you can smuggle goods over.

If you're not looking to experience every single detail of the horde quests, this leveling guide was invaluable to a hunter i had to bump up:
