Sweet

**road doggy dogg** · 11-30-2004, 10:49 PM

Man, I've been meaning to go on and play my Tauren a bit (started him last night), but I'm hooked on my Mage. I dunno, he's not even good, but I just love playing as him

**Requiem** · 12-01-2004, 01:17 AM

Yeah.. my rogue is addicting. Got to level 10.. dual wield, sap, sprint.... man, it's just great. But at the same time I love Shamans. I got to like level 6 on my shaman and am about to go to the next city.

**road doggy dogg** · 12-01-2004, 01:24 AM

I'm just waiting for the server to go back up. My mage is so much fun to play. I can't wait till I start doing group stuff too, that'll be awesome. I want to level up though so I can get more talent points. Instant cast Arcane Explosion = sex

DS · 12-01-2004, 06:52 PM

I think I am too late.

This game is now the fastest selling PC game ever selling over a total of 350,000 copies and Blizzard doesn't think they have enough room on the servers to ship more games at the moment. At $50 a game, that comes out to about $17,500,000 for this one game. That's incredible. If they find out they can't send out any more copies until they get more servers I'll just be stuck with having to wait longer to pick it up.

lol, go to the EB where we got Halo 2.

They had a whole shelf of em

DS · 12-01-2004, 07:09 PM

I don't have money.

I'm just saying when I do decide to buy it they better have it. I'll find it somewhere.

**road doggy dogg** · 12-02-2004, 02:00 PM

Finally hit level 20. Lots of new Arcane spells learned, I spent like 1g just buying them.

Blink is cool, but not as good as I thought it would be. It is useful for escaping rooting, and I would imagine is very helpful for PvP. Haven't done a whole lot of of PvP or duelling though, so I can't say for sure. Teleport requiring a reagent = gay

**Requiem** · 12-03-2004, 12:38 AM

I'm putting my horde char on a different server.. I found a group of guys in the same city as me who have a clan there, so I'm gonna join it probably. (we have a small city, so it's a bigger deal when there's actually people here that play the same game as me)

**road doggy dogg** · 12-03-2004, 03:08 AM

Nice, that's hot. That's kinda why I'm on Archimonde. RBM and a bunch of his clanmates from WC3 are playing on there, so I at least know a few people and play with them. It's infinitely more fun when you play with people you know.

You still should start an alliance char on Archi, I can hook you up. If you do, you should make an Engineer since we really need one badly

**Requiem** · 12-03-2004, 04:58 PM

Hmm, I might do that... I'm only level 10 on my alliance char, so it wouldn't be too bad to start over. Just deciding if I want to do all the noob NE quests again (they were a pain in the ass), or if I'll try something else...

Joined the clan last night and got my new char from 1-6 in no time at all there... is gonna be great, cause they have LAN parties and stuff all the time.

**The Snake** · 12-04-2004, 04:00 PM

Just got this last night. Username is zkCasper
Hit me up on MSN later tonight Tony and I'll join whichever realm you guys are on.

**road doggy dogg** · 12-04-2004, 04:09 PM

Just log onto Archimonde, and look for me My char on there is just Tonavin. Message me and I'll hook ya up.

We're Alliance, btw

**Gonzo** · 12-05-2004, 02:52 PM

Played this game at a friend's house and it is nothing short of amazing. I will definitely be picking this game up.

**road doggy dogg** · 12-05-2004, 07:39 PM

Played a bit with Snake last night Well, sort of. He was on, but I was in the middle of doing an instance. I am so addicted to this game. I'm level 26 now, can't wait till I start doing some raids and shit.

When me and my group were in Wetlands a couple Horde players attacked us and we destroyed them. PvP is so ridiculously fun. Can't wait to start ganking some Horde punks

**road doggy dogg** · 12-06-2004, 04:10 AM

FINALLY can make 10s bags now. Gonna be excellent. I should make a ton and sell them at the AH for a pretty penny. Need some Heavy Leathers first thuogh

**Gonzo** · 12-06-2004, 04:12 PM

rdd, what have you found to be the strongest and weakest classes thus far? If you can help, thanks. I just want to see if there are any distinct advantages to playing a certain character at this point in time.

I'll probably get the game within the next few weeks.

**BabyHugger** · 12-07-2004, 04:33 AM

God this game is mad addicting, level 13 now, RDD how the fuck did you level up so fast. Huge nerd.

**Requiem** · 12-07-2004, 04:52 PM

Wow... this quest is pissing me off. It's the first Tauren Shaman quest that takes you to the barrens. Says to find this guy a bit north of the crossroads, but if you reach NE lands, you've gone too far.

Well... I couldn't find the place in beta, and still can't seem to find it. What pisses me off even more, is in order to explore you have to go through stuff 5 levels higher than you (it's a level 10 quest... I'm lvl 11.. all the stuff in the area is from 11-17 or so)

**Requiem** · 12-07-2004, 04:53 PM

I died like 7 times, because I couldn't get away from my corpse after rezzing near it... kept getting swarmed by mobs higher level than me.

**road doggy dogg** · 12-07-2004, 05:14 PM

Strongest class is EASILY the shaman. So fucking overpowered. I want to gank every shaman I see.

Weakest class, I dunno. A lot of people on the worldofwarcraft.com forums bitch and whine and say the Warrior is awful, but I say they're just retarded. One of the guys I play with has a 31 Warrior who tanks the shit out of everything. Warriors are great in the role they are supposed to play. I don't know really, I haven't seen all the classes 'in action' so y'know.

I love my Mage though. So awesome. Can't wait till I upgrade my Arcane Explosion. AE avec 5 talents = SEX. Best AoE ever. Plus making 10s bags is nice.

If you make a Shaman though I might have to never speak to you again.

**road doggy dogg** · 12-07-2004, 05:18 PM

As for levelling, it's not that hard. Quests are the best exp-givers in the game, so do a lot of them. Doing instances is really good for levelling, because you get good exp but hella sweet drops. I'm almost decked out in blue items now. Instances are really hard unless you have a group that knows what the hell they're doing though. Hence why you never join with all the "LFG for VC tell me!!" because they are retards and you will probably die and get frustrated with them

**Gonzo** · 12-08-2004, 12:50 AM

I cracked and just traded about 20 console games in for the money for it. Got the game plus about 10 in change. They were dirt old and I never played them so I figured eh might as well.

Started a Dwarf Hunter on Proudmoore US Servers and this game rocks.

**Requiem** · 12-08-2004, 01:16 AM

Nah.. Shamans aren't that great. They're the jack of all trades... magic, melee, and mild buffs... but they don't get mail armor till 40, and at low levels their DPS sucks ass.

Rogues are simply badass though. Rogues and Mages are powerful. I smell definite nerfs in the near future.

The reason people say warriors are underpowered, is because their talents are apparently really under-par compared to other classes. Overall, they're still the top tanking class though..

Anyway... I'm still 11. Doing a friggin LONG ass quest to get my next totem. Gonna be sweeeeeet. But.... this quest has the hardest to find shit.

**Funky Fly** · 12-08-2004, 01:23 AM

I want this game

It sounds mad complex compared to D2 though, i'm gonna be way behind when it gets released here

**road doggy dogg** · 12-08-2004, 03:04 PM

Jack of all trades?! I thought the saying was "Jack of all trades, master of none". Shamans are masters of all trades. They have DoTs, insanely good healing, they can tank better than most other classes, and that's not even mentioning their ability to rez, and of course their totems. Oh, and Ghost Wolf, nothx. And please, "they don't even get mail till level 40". Bullshit. I'm a Mage, and guess what? I don't even get LEATHER at level 40! And I'm not just complaining because Shaman are 'better' than Mages or anything. They're just too good at too many things that it's ridiculous. If they were good at doing 2 or 3 things, then okay whatever. But they're good at nearly everything they do, which is awful.

**Requiem** · 12-08-2004, 10:10 PM

Nah.. play a shaman and then say that. Their DPS is terrible in comparison. In groups, nobody wants you to play offense. They just want you to be a healer, and you don't get as much mana, so in the lower levels, by healing you use up the mana fucking fast.

Also, they're only decent in PvP. Most other classes can beat them if the players know what they're doing. Only way a Shaman can beat someone is if the other person just has -shitty- gear, and they don't know how to play their char.

I will say though, that Shamans are decent at soloing... to an extent. Still, they're mainly just a support class when it comes to grouping.

Mages are simply more -powerful- though. You need to play a Shaman and compare them.. I've played both, and Mages kick a Shaman's ass in PvP. Fucking frost = slows = shaman is fucked... not even totems can help that. Also, totems cost mana to put down, and some have a higher cool down. Totems are pretty useless in general right now though... I only drop maybe a strength totem if I'm going against something with a pet right now.

Still a fun class to play, but christ... even with about 360 armor right now, my friend's rogue drops shit in half the time it takes me, and ends up taking half as much damage

**Gonzo** · 12-09-2004, 08:51 AM

I'm a Human Warlock. I'm level 11 and just questing arond Elwynn Hills and gaining xp. I've put some time into this so I'm trying to be really weary with what I do to the character because I want to make the best possible choices.

**Ninti the Mad** · 12-09-2004, 09:14 AM

What are the PC specs for this game?

I dont want any pc lag bullshit.

**Ninti the Mad** · 12-09-2004, 09:17 AM

If I have good enough specs, I am going to buy this game.

**Boomer** · 12-09-2004, 09:39 AM

Hoenstly...I want to

But no. I can't. I've got too much to do and too many games already to play.

Nope. Not gonna do it.

No. No......

More importantly, tell me your specs and if you experience any lag from the game in any from. Be it from connection lag to framerate lag.

**road doggy dogg** · 12-09-2004, 02:52 PM

Don't worry about screwing anything up, really. You can buy every spell, so you don't have to worry about picking the "wrong" ones. And the talents, there's an option to replace them all, so if you put 30 talents in the totally wrong spot, you can totally wipe them out and re-place them. Of course, it costs money to do (game money ), but it's a nice option.

As for system specs, well... basically a 1.5ghz computer with 512mb RAM and a 64mb video card should do you over. I'm running an AMD 3500 with a Radeon 9600 and it runs fine. Only part that lags for me is the gryphon rides between major cities, and I'm almost certain that's a RAM problem. I have 512, but am seriously considering upgrading to at least 1 gb.

**Requiem** · 12-09-2004, 04:32 PM

I have a 1.6Ghz p4, 768 DDR RAM, a Radeon 9600XT... I don't have any problems unless it's internet related lag.

**The Snake** · 12-09-2004, 05:28 PM

my guy is named Oguun , is a lvl 10 dwarf right now. Doing the Rogue class, skinning, making leather armor. On Archimonde also.

First lag I hit was last night, and it was actually because i was switching windows back and forth between IM , Word, and WoW. I play over a pretty weak 56k and really don't have any troubles. My connection speed is usually in the 26.6 range. I figure it should work even better for the other 99% of the world that CAN get dial up. Playing basically same specs as RDD

**road doggy dogg** · 12-09-2004, 07:40 PM

You need to talk more, Snake. Don't feel shy, nobody in the channel is really mean.

I finally hit 30. I'm trying to finish off all the Duskwood quests now. Then I might move on to Wetlands or something.

**Gonzo** · 12-09-2004, 11:44 PM
