For twins we did the one group in a corner with 4 soaks. Raid is dark, 4 soaks are light. Took 6 tries after trying with everyone being Dark (and the soaks just took too much damage). I think Dark Essence was the hard one, since our soaks have to run off and we have a couple ranged move out to stop lights from hitting the group.
I hate/love Anub. Buggy spikes and our Scarab damage flucuates from perfect to 6 up when he emerges. But its really fun to Mage. Mages/DKs crushinate damage 10/6/2009 10:12:17 AM |

Really? I was top of DPS meters last week on our Anub attempts....
I hit 14k several times during Phase 1... We finally got our kiting down on phase 2 for our last few attempts last week. Only saw Phase 3 once though out of 26 attempts. We're raid stacking fury warriors (what I am) and 3 ret pallies, 2 holy pallies for divine sac and 2 disc priests for phase 3d

I agree that Halo 3 is absolute shit, but if you made a "video games that have been rehashed" list, WoW would be very near the top. (Assuming, of course, that one counts some of the huge major patches and the many rounds of rolling month-by-month class fixing patches, and not just the expansions)10/13/2009 6:33:57 AM |

i got an idea. blizzard could remake all of the old instances and put a very minimal amount of development into them, then sell them to the consumer and make the same amount of money. they could even start with onxyia.
wait... 10/13/2009 7:37:37 AM |

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3176451 'Saving Private Ryan' Writer Attached To World Of WarCraft Film
Quote : | "World of WarCraft is arguably the biggest name in gaming, so it stands to reason that the movie would need to be just as big. The production got off to a good start by bringing in high-profile director Sam Raimi, but it's the writer reportedly attached to the project who should be turning a few heads.
"We want to be really faithful to the game...to the Horde and the Alliance and the mythology that takes place in the game, and the archetypes that the game presents," Raimi told MTV News.
"I think we would try and find touchstones within the game to make it accurate and true and choose one or some of the lands that are portrayed in the game with as much accuracy and authenticity as possible."
"But we would have our writer, Robert Rodat, really craft an original story within that world that feels like a 'World of WarCraft' adventure. Only obviously it's very different 'cause it's expanded and translated into the world of a motion picture."
Rodat's other writing credits include "The Patriot" and a little movie called "Saving Private Ryan," as well as an untitled Steven Spielberg television pilot. For his part, Raimi seems enthusiastic to have Rodat on the team.
"I've never made a video game movie, but my approach would be to work with the best character writer I can find, which in this case is Robert Rodat, and tell a great character story within the fantastic environment of the world of WarCraft, while staying true to their mythology," he said.
Who knows, this could actually turn out to be pretty good. " |

Say what you want about old world instances...personally I love being able to jump off the sides of staircases and exiting sfk by going over the edge of the battlements.
It is the holiday events that send the PVE'ers into battlegrounds that piss me off.10/19/2009 2:43:44 PM |

gah, dualboxing was fun, but an epic waste of 80 bucks. Now I have two accounts two months of game time left and a pwnboxer license that will rot.
I don't see how casual players do it. The game just isn't that impressive anymore.
Do naked 60's at least sell for the price of a vanilla license key? 10/21/2009 1:16:04 PM |

I got hacked on sunday.
No clue how it happened. I have AVG running and i browse the net using google chrome. I even ran hijack this and didn't find anything crazy booting up or running.
the only thing i can figure is some script kiddie got me some how.
Logged in and all my shit was cleaned out on my priest, warrior, and warlock. Weird part is i never type my account name ever. It's pretty unique. Probably the only time i ever type it is when im logging into the realm forums. 11/3/2009 9:22:04 AM |

You've probably already put the process in motion, but everyone gets 2 account restores I believe. Blizzard actually fucked up when my buddy did it and restored his gear twice so he a got a nice gold boost. 11/3/2009 11:29:37 AM |

My girlfriends got hacked yesterday morning... apparently they are experiencing a high volume or tickets for being hacked recently according to the GM... could it be because they are forcing everyone to switch over to battle.net accounts.... there is a reason Im not switching till the last day lol 11/3/2009 11:52:24 AM |

i switches to bnet months ago, and not had any security issues. Everyone of my friends/guildmates that's been compromised were regular wow accounts (not bnet) and most of them had retard simple passwords: 8 char passwords, account name as most of the password, same name for everything, extra stupid shit like bob1980/1980bob stuff 11/3/2009 1:07:52 PM |
Novicane All American 15416 Posts user info edit post |
Yeah, i contacted a GM on sunday and i've yet to here back on the status. I guess from the sounds of it it'll be awhile before i get a restore.
My account is still a regular account. I've heard recently of people getting hacked and the hacker merging it to a B-net account creating a whole new mess for them. 11/3/2009 1:41:23 PM |

After a recent hack, our guild has locked bank access unless you post a picture of your authenticator in front of your character.
Of course, this thread just turned into a contest on who could have the most interesting pic, but it made me buy an authenticator, even though I also feel I'm not stupid enough to be hacked. They also make the authenticator app if you have a smartphone for free. 11/5/2009 11:25:29 AM |
tartsquid All American 16389 Posts user info edit post |
I jumped on the b.net bandwagon back in April and have had an authenticator longer than that. Never been hacked, but I'm also not a dumbass who clicks on phishing links. Not that everyone who gets hacked is, but you know a lot of people do fall for that crap. 11/5/2009 11:40:48 AM |

So yesterday, I heard about the faction change service. My main was an NE rogue, and I hated being a NE for most of the 4 years that I played. I always said that if I were ever given the opportunity to switch to human or undead, I would. So I renewed and switched to undead. I found out about the WotF nerf today. So, that's kind of a FML, but WotF is still good and better than shadowmeld.
I just think it's funny that for as long as I wanted to be able to change races, they put this change in like a week ago. Frankly, I don't think it's a surprise. I remember saying when they announced race/faction changes that anyone that does arena seriously would be an idiot for not switching to undead. It makes sense that they would try to balance WotF after all these years.

When they open up the new race/class combos in the xpac I might come back and switch my priest and pally to tauren. I liked being a dwarf, but I always wanted to be a cow and never got to play one seriously.
until then, no wow for me 11/6/2009 8:31:01 AM |

There isn't going to be a "WoW" movie... There is going to be a Warcraft movie. It will not be based on the game specifically, just the Warcraft lore and universe.

So are any of your guys eligible for the laptop giveaway? You had to have activated your current wow account on launch day. (11/23/94)

Ok, dilemma.
What would be the negative to getting a WoW visa? 11/10/2009 5:09:43 PM |
tartsquid All American 16389 Posts user info edit post |
There are better rewards from other cards.
You'd have to spend quite a lot to get the free game time from the WoW Visa, while you can get rewards that are better than the occasional $15 from other ones.
Plus, being laughed at when you hand your card over. 11/11/2009 11:56:59 AM |

And the snickering when someone asked your age and you had to tell them anything over 17. 11/11/2009 1:29:47 PM |
