Wrath of the Lich King

[LoDownM]

And besides, even if the king didn't come back, Highlord Bolvar Fordragon was running SW, till the king came back/kid came of age.

And Highlord Bolvar was the man.

I should roll an Alliance character sometime.

Except Fordragon was under Onyxia's control, and was really a bit of a puppet leader as a result.

Did i mention my rogue hit 80 two nights ago?

[RP]

Dumb question. I'm leveling my other weapons up right. Is first weapons = unarmed skill?

My guild has killed Savaraoth or something? We're going back tommorow night and killing him again. Nax sunday.

[mitchables]

Fist Weapons is unarmed, yeah.

Sartharion, you mean? In the Obsidian Sanctum?

[mitchables]

Also, grats on 80.

[El Fangel]

Oh dudes, not knowing if you care or not, but I made a social group for WoW.

I think I am going to level my mage to 30, get my mount and then play my warrior to 80

[LoDownM]

I've been 80 on my mage for like 3 weeks now and I've only raided the 25 man Wintergrasp Boss 3 times. Been kinda frustrated with the game.

[RP]

Fist Weapons is unarmed, yeah.

Sartharion, you mean? In the Obsidian Sanctum?

ya him

[V]

so i decided to start up 25 man raids again and in 3 nights we cleared all content =\

Vault of Archavon, Obsidian Sanctum, Naxxramas, Eye of Eternity all down

[Ninti the Mad]

When I hit 80 on my priest, I started levelling my hunter from level 58 and now he is 80 too.

Already got 3800 attack power on my hunter with 28% crit. 3 days of heroics.

Just need the guild to grow a bit to start nax.

[Ninti the Mad]

My priest also has ridiculous mana regen. Like 330 mp5

wait.. theres no more content?

[mitchables]

Not yet. Icecrown Citadel is to be added in another patch. But yeah, when you compare it to BC - Gruul's, Magtheridon, TK, SSC, Hyjal, BT, SW... there was soooo much more to do. We've finished Vault, Naxx and OS, we're waiting on more of us to get enough HP to bother with EoE.

[LoDownM]

Um, there was only 5 raids to do when you hit 70 when TBC came out, Karazhan, Gruul's, Magtheridon, TK, SSC. Not much difference between then an now, except you have 2 versions of each raid. Hell, with classic WoW there was only 2 raids, MC and Ony for the longest time.

[El Fangel]

I cannot bring myself to grind out the 3 levels to 70 :(

I know that there are 10 levels after that and that is horrible

18k fully raid buffed shouldnt be hard to reach

malygos is a fucking joke. stack orbs (phase 1), spam CoH/WG for vortex, stack fire high (phase 3) and u win

i am the GM of my guild and i do all the raid leading and main tanking, if you guys need help with anything or want me to tweak strats for you just let me know

wrath is very easy so far, kinda dissapointing, but at the same time I'm glad my guild has finally "beat the game", we've never had all content cleared before. sunwell came out a week before we killed illidan

if you consider naxx has already been in the game, and archavon is barely a boss, really the only raid encounters added were Sartharion and Malygos.

That's 2 bosses. 18 if you want to add naxx and archavon.

TBC
Karazhan = 12 bosses (including each opera event, not including animal bosses)
Gruul = 2 bosses
SSC = 6 bosses
TK = 4 bosses
Magtheridon's Lair = 1 boss
World Bosses - 2 (doom lord kazzak and doomwalker)

So 26 bosses vs 18, or 2, bosses, depending how you look at it.

A lot more content in TBC. But only 1% of guilds could see TK cuz of it's ridiculous attunement.

Also 12 5 mans in Wrath compared to 16 in TBC.

Given that, Wrath is sitll the better expansion. They put a lot more effort into the zones, quests and what not. the leveling experience was much better organized, and the quality of all the new content is great, the stuff is a lot of fun, and the new class mechanics (especially tanking ones) makes everything great. WoW is actually fun and not a headache.... and the amount of content makes it easy to manage a 3, or even 2 day raid schedule which is good, cuz you can have a life and play the game now.

[LoDownM]

Anyone who thinks TBC was a headach didn't play or raid before it.

40 People for raids? 6 Month honor grind for the best pvp gear? Overpriced mounts when gold wasn't easy to make unless you had a BoE world epic drop? No Daily quests?

Yup, TBC sure was a headach :roll:

[V]

well i did play TBC, but i was never raid leader or tank, dps warrior, so shit was easy for me

you try leading a bunch of retards through sunwell (retards are long gone and replaced in my guild now that gear is not an issue) :p

[V]

so ulduar today, anyone else feel like a 10 year old on christmas eve? And then have a self realization that you are a BIG NERD :(

my gf plays with me though, so i guess its not all so bad!

[RP]

yep

We raiding it tonight if the realms are up on time.

[LoDownM]

Blizz fails for having WoW out for 5 years and still sucking at patches.

[RP]

lol servers still down

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Watch the servers stay down until 8:00.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Posted by Blizzard.

We thank you for your patience. We are currently in the final stages of maintenance and we expect all realms to be playable by approximately 5:00PM PDT.

So we get in and go to VoA and start working on the new boss they put in there, and after like 3 wipes, the whole place crashed and now my rogue is stuck in there

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

That happened to one of my guilds friends on a another, they probably fixed that now. How is Emalos btw, easy?

[RP]

Fuck no

Probably will be when we figure him out

He has 4 mobs around him that respawn after you kill them so you need a tank to off tank them. Emalos makes one of them huge and hit hard so you have to have DPS come off the boss and kill it and then the tank has to regather its spawn. Emalos himself does chain lighting for like 10k, so you have to have good distance between players and he does this lightening nova that you have to run out of max range from. Its pretty difficult. We had a weird group makeup. No DK or Pally.

[RP]

Me and prot warrior bud went into Ulduar just to screw around before it crashed. Ton of fun. We drove all the vehicles. Smashed dwarves and bigger elite dwarves and then got repeatedly smashed by this huge colossus. 2 of the vehicles you can share with someone. Like the motorcycle, he was driving and hopped in for the ride and we rode all the way to the back until this Mechanico Spider thing dominated us.

[V]

our guild got server first on flame leviathan, and would have got razorscale ifw e didnt spend all our time wiping on a bugged ignis until the server became unstable

Afterwards with relatively no difficulty we beat emalon, flame leviathon and razorscale on 10 man

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Wow, congrats Gohan.

[V]

razorscale down too on heroic, everytime we're able to zone in we kill a boss then we get locked out again =\

[LoDownM]

This is like 3.0 all over again. Atleast i'll get my fishing maxxed if they dont fix it soon.

[RP]

Downed Flame Of Leviathon tonight on 10 man.

[mitchables]

We 25 manned that shit last night. I have pretty much officially switched from playing my Mage to playing my resto Shammy. I enjoy her more.

Also, this long weekend just past, a bunch of my guildies met up. One came from Perth, one from New Zealand, one from Adelaide, two from Melbourne, and a few from around Brisbane. Went to dinner and stuff, it was awesome. Crazy fun.

[V]

xt-002 and iron council down on 10 man :o

server stability is being really annoying, we could be killing so many bosses if shit worked

[RP]

We tried X200- Deconstruton, but only got him half way. Couldnt get the fight down.

[RP]

I have a 72 priest i'm working on

any healers here? Anyone tell me about addons i want or need?

[RP]

I'm duel specced disc pvp/ holy pve

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

I healing mod I use for my Paladin is X-Peral. It's seems to work great since the updated version was released. Tonight I'm going to try Uluar myself, hope the server doesn't crash when we're in it.

[V]

We tried X200- Deconstruton, but only got him half way. Couldnt get the fight down.

the key to the fight is DPSing the heart, without killing it. 100% more damage taken, and the amount taken is taken by the boss itself

We had 2 ranged dps take out ads on each side and everyone else just stay and dps the heart down to ~5% (you dont want to kill it because killing it activates the hard mode)

[LoDownM]

Yogg-Saron down to Ensidia. Ulduar is harder than naxx amirite?

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

Beat Flame Leviathan last night, then kept wiping on the elemental trash in front of Ignis, then gave up on them and fought XT-002 to 75% before calling it a night. I guess I need more gear for this place.

[LoDownM]

Nice vid indeed, the top guild on my server defeated the Lich King last night too, then a Crystal appeared in Dalaran showing that there will always be a Lich King. As well as the NEW Lich King which is

Bolvar Fordragon

[Gray]

An Alliance guild on my server downed Lich King a few days ago, so the fountain in the middle of Dalaran changed also.

The Lich King cinematic though, even when i seen it leaked filled me with slight disapointment. Don't get me wrong, Blizzard/WoW are fantastic at making in-game cinematics, but the storylines sometimes just plain suck.

The ending with Arthas was just like "what... thats IT? - I see only darkness.... *dead*" - Pretty crappy considering everything. The bit with Tirion though certainly was interesting, and even before LaVarman he was my pick to become the "new" Lich King. But heyho.

Speaking of the storyline, they seems to leave massive plotholes in the story, for instance with the Lich King. We players are lead to believe that Arthas and Ner'zhul fused into one singular being - But in-game its actually only Arthas 100%.

What it DOESN'T explain is where Ner'Zhul is - Apparently Arthas "killed" Ner'Zhul by "battling" him - But the players don't know this because it only happened in the comic-book/books. Massively disapointing that they're leaving these gaping holes in the main badguys expansion.
