I will leave a char parked there on a few servers and check them from time to time. I am bound to catch one sooner or later. Yesterday 2 people in my guild caught one using that log on to see technique so maybe it is already slowing down some.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-37728153803333426352013-06-25T11:52:02.024-04:002013-06-25T11:52:02.024-04:00It happens to us all.

My warrior and bear where my DS tanks for the most part. My paladin was only in on alt runs and I always passed gear if someone else needed it. Still find it odd how I got stronger at 88 when other classes felt that was their weak point.<br /><br />I would still be decent about it. But I do think people that use the auto clickers deserve a ban for the day. If you do not want to camp yourself, don't camp. It is a game, play it, do not let a bot play it. Perhaps I am just too old school where I think people should earn what they have.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-70591074730213997852013-06-25T11:47:56.136-04:002013-06-25T11:47:56.136-04:00Sadly I've had way to many of those hour long ...Sadly I've had way to many of those hour long runs. I've lost count how many of them, but I would have to say it has been over a dozen.<br /><br />I still need 8 runes. :( At least I got 1 each of the last 2 weeks tanks to the guaranteed drops. If not for those I would be on 6 weeks straight with none.<br /><br />I am at that valor point now myself. Unless I get an upgrade or decide to upgrade my 4 piece of 502s (I really hate that I have no nalak or raid drops yet) I have nothing to spend them on. The only things not upgraded are my hands and legs of the tier set because I am holding out for the nalak or counicl drops.<br /><br />I love having all crafters.

I just worry that the community would rebel. Or even someone like myself, what if it is account bound. While I feel I would be able to get gold on my hunter without much of an issue, does that mean my rogue now gets a free pass? Some things would need to be worked on and any gate will meet with much resistance.<br /><br />You can actually do, and meet timers, with a group doing 40K each. I've done it on my alts with some guild alts. Not the most powerful players but if you do what you need to do when you need to do it, you can still have an easy run of it.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-50727603029798016482013-06-25T11:40:28.481-04:002013-06-25T11:40:28.481-04:00The account need to be inactive from a point that ...The account need to be inactive from a point that mine does not meet to get that spirit one.

What to do is make yourself a DK on Ravenholt or The Venture Co. These 2 are the only US realms that are NOT in CRZ, since CRZ only puts together realms within a certain time zone and of the same type, they're both the only RP-PVP realms with their times. Awesome for finding rare pets ect with no CRZ and both realms are fairly quiet, especially TVC. <br /><br />As for Herald...I know you're wanting to be the best you can, but really BIS isn't needed. You can use Cata flasks, pots and food, that alone is a huge amount more stats than were available at 80, you can also level professions and have Cata profession bonuses. I did spend a fair amount of time on my Herald char, getting him almost full BIS, when I found my group I was the best geared in it, there were people wearing blues and even a few heirlooms! And we killed it second attempt, first attempt we'd tried to 8m it because 2 were 15m late and wiped around 25%. <br />Just run a few 25 ulds, fill in slots with gear from the ICC dungeons (can use the heroic dungeon weapons, but only normal dungeon other gear) and a few pieces from the dalaran vendors for JP, you'll be more than fine.

This is how my raid leader broke his table hitting it repeatedly last time. I actually find it funny, though I think he didn't. He's a healer. Before the pull, he said to the other healers to be careful with the heals, since I'm the only one tanking (the other tank had changed specs). At one point, he starts screaming - am I the only one healing? Apparently, the second healer had changed specs as well already and the third healer was alt-tabbed, on Facebook. We've been calling him 'Facebook' ever since.<br />Anyway, there's two issues at Tortos. There's 3 bats and you only need one to go off to be silent, you can't really interrupt them all as a tank unless you're a belf and even then I'm not sure if the cast aligns properly. Second, there's that Council fight before. We use the interrupt on focus macro for that one and sometimes, people forget to switch so that may have happened to your tank. In a 25m you'd think some people would have discovered their interrupt, maybe. I'm just throwing it out here ofc, have no idea what really happend in your group.<br /><br />I don't recall being squishy at all at lower levels as prot, but I had heroic DS gear, which I think I only started changing at around lvl 89. It does seem like it's hitting really weak compared to other tanks when without vengeance, though. Spent 9 minutes and a half killing G'nathus which seemed like forever. Prot scales really well with high vengeance, that's the thing, which make it god-like in the current tier. Hope it lasts :)<br /><br />I used to love pve over estinguishing the flame thing. I still recall fighting my way through Darnassus and jumping on the boat with two Alliance following me, killed one, and the other one was low health, jumped off trying to escape. Hammer of wrath ftw. Used to have so much fun with all the events.<br /><br />I went there to get the Quiraji pet thingie as well. There were a few people there. I was talking to a friend and alt-tabbed to listen to song he had linked. I alt-tab back and I was dead. Resurrect, and there was a war there between us and Alliance. Pretty sure they were all from Sylvanas and not from our realm, but I liked it tbh. I'm gonna come back in a month, at an odd hour. No rush.<br /><br />As for spawn places being camped... so many people use auto-clicker and the like to camp, it's not like I have to be decent about it. I don't bother with farming pets / mounts, but if I did, I don't think I would care, seeing as most are bots.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173436197557929355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-89599090312624549072013-06-24T21:34:03.540-04:002013-06-24T21:34:03.540-04:00I have some crappy LFR runs but that just means we...I have some crappy LFR runs but that just means we wipe a couple of times and I'm probably doing 30-40k more than the #2 dps. I've never spent "hours" in an LFR though.<br /><br />I usually do them on Friday night, Saturday afternoon, or Saturday night (eastern time).<br /><br />I don't do the old LFRs though. I only do PoS and Halls for Runestones.<br /><br />I got 3 this week so I'm up to 8/12 now. Hopefully, only take a couple more weeks.<br /><br />Didn't valor cap for the first time in weeks (don't need the valor). Didn't play the DK either other than doing some mining.<br /><br />GOG.com was giving Torchlight away for free so I snagged it and have been messing with that instead. It's basically a Diablo 2 clone from a few years ago.<br /><br />Finally got the stupid LFR tier shoulders off Iron Qon... after I bought the 522 SPA shoulders... Technically, it's an upgrade to swap my 522 shoulders and 502 tier chest, for 502 tier shoulders and 522 chest... but it's maybe a difference of a couple hundred dps. So screw it...<br /><br />Still need to spam trade to find someone to craft the 522 LW boots. Maybe tomorrow night when the raiders are on.<br /><br />Farmed a bunch of ore and created a bunch of living steel so I can get a 502 weapon crafted for my DK. Ghost iron ore is super easy to get, but trillium is a bitch. I just bought the trillium and wasted a bunch of SoH to xmute the living steel. I was tired of trading them in for GL so thought what the heck. It wasn't the most efficient use of them, but I don't care. I'll get the weapon for maybe 2k worth of mats plus a nice tip for my guildie and an hour or so of my time flying around dread wastes listening to music and chatting with guildies, instead of 30k off the AH to some random person on the server.<br /><br />I should probably do some pet battles on my mage. Can you actually gain XP from pet battles? She's got full heirlooms so she'll get decent bonuses I guess. I'm sure it won't be an effective way to lvl but it'll be better than wasting it on my hunter or dk.<br /><br />I'll definitely say that it's nice having professions. I have all the gathering and one crafting and really, really, really want to get the rest of the crafting profs covered. I just really, really, really wish I didn't have to lvl more toons and grind reps and all that crap.<br /><br />Jaegernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-49355993091783458422013-06-24T19:34:25.987-04:002013-06-24T19:34:25.987-04:00@TheGrumpyElf

Looks like you already thought of that.<br /><br />I don't know much about proving grounds (does anyone?) but if they combine it with the gear scaling from Challenge Modes then it could be a real test of skill and not just a test of gear.<br /><br />I would love random content with people who are good.<br /><br />At present I have to find people for Random Heroic Scenarios through realm chat, oQueue, or openraid.<br /><br />The realm chat especially is a toss up.<br /><br />I had a DK in a random heroic scenario pulling like 40k or something. I don't remember, but I remember pointing him to icy-veins in whisper afterward. The other dps in the group was doing 100k+ which is what it should be, imo. Even 80k would be good.potatoeWoWhttps://twitter.com/potatoeWoWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-14915918790786682932013-06-24T17:05:02.361-04:002013-06-24T17:05:02.361-04:00GE, I thought that mount was being offered - the w...GE, I thought that mount was being offered - the winged black looking stone lion one, that you transform into and you carry someone on your back - or is it a different one?<br /><br />I don't have that one, but I do have the X-53 (or whatever) for the 2 man rocket mount.

I know for Roo, it needs to be the August Cesspool group for those shadowleather leg armor (I cant buy them at 1000 gold plus - too much money). Then for another one, another group for something else and so on. Its better than doing all the quests for each group at the same time - that way I won't get burnt out.

Sometimes I start to think it is just me and my bad luck.<br /><br />510 should not be much of a problem really. Sure some work and some effort will need to be put into it but it can be done. My priest has 1 valor piece only. Two heroic scenario pieces. Still rocking the two piece 496 from last tier and a couple of 502s and I am 504. If I put even a tiny bit of effort into it and got it a couple of the cheap valor pieces 510 is not out of the question. <br /><br />I think 510 would be better, but I do agree with you. I believe it will be 500. That seems to be the ultra easy you need to do almost nothing to get to it item level.<br /><br />Things you mentioned are why my warrior is still 85 and not even on the new continent yet. It just feels weak over all damage wise and when plate classes start to feel as squishy as my rogue, there is an issue. The thing is I level as a tank and there is no reason a tank should feel like that. I was able to walk into the new land on my DK, druid and monk and just pull whole zones as a tank. I should have been able to do the same on my paladin and warrior but can't and that shows there is something off. At least for how I play them. Perhaps a better paladin or warrior did not experience the weak feeling I did stepping into there.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-42489612605112509422013-06-24T10:29:49.216-04:002013-06-24T10:29:49.216-04:00Being I never played on a UK server I can not say ...Being I never played on a UK server I can not say anything for the skill difference. But it would not surprise me if the US "kiddies" were a hundred time worse than the UK "kiddies". <br /><br />But like I said, I know people in my own guild that say they rarely or ever have the issues I do. Perhaps it has to do with tolerance. I never kick people, he kicks all the time. Maybe the system throws him with "better" players so he won't kick but it puts me with all the people no one else wants to play with because I don't kick. Do you kick people? Would be interesting if this actually played a part. If it did, I will start kicking like crazy.<br /><br />Maybe having a silver to even queue would be a good idea. But you know as well as I do that people would cry a river until they nerfed getting a silver to the point where all you had to do is enter and stand there without going AFK to get it.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-44387147153138569552013-06-24T09:56:04.782-04:002013-06-24T09:56:04.782-04:00I was going even farther with the proving ground t...I was going even farther with the proving ground things. I was even saying that if you have not silver level you just can't even go in LFR, that would teach ppl to play. I don't think there will be any need of segregation on skill level after that.<br /><br />As for the time I play, well....maybe but I too only play when I'm back from work or on saturday/sunday. I do think that it's the time most kids are playing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-49559824213554439152013-06-24T09:51:52.787-04:002013-06-24T09:51:52.787-04:00@Anon

You get a few dicks and I've had to drop from a couple lately but almost always the runs get done in a reasonable amount of time.<br /><br />@Grumpy<br /><br />I suspect i500 will be the requirement for the new LFR, that's where I'm aiming to get my toons to who aren't running higher-end content right now. The previous LFR gave i483 and ToT requires i480 so i502 and i500 work in the same way.<br /><br />Plus, i510 isn't exactly easy to get to... it can be done but not without putting some decent time into LFR &/or getting really lucky with drops or being willing to farm the tokens. I still only have 1 toon at i510 but I have... 5, I think, in the i500-i509 range. i500 isn't hard but gearing slows down quite a bit at that point.<br /><br />The last two raids I've dropped (the only two recently) were both on Tortos... one I dropped after the 3rd trash wipe, the other I dropped after the 3rd boss attempt. I don't normally like to drop groups but that seems to be a good place to filter out a group that's going to be painful to run with, that 2nd quarter is by far my least favourite to run in ToT LFR, I'll only run it when I need something from it. Mostly I'll run 1, 3 and 4 on my toons and if I'm looking for a few more VP, I'll run Terrace for off-spec gear.<br /><br />My warriors have both felt odd when I leveled them... like mages. Glass cannons. They didn't feel weak, but they felt squishy as hell. Every hit they took seemed to hit for 20% of their health, pulling 2 or 3 mobs required using cooldowns. I think warriors need some sort of passive regen... enraging heals for 10% of your health, maybe. The 2% or whatever heal from Bloodthirst is a joke and Arms doesn't seem to have any built-in healing at all. Sure, Victory Rush is great when you can burn down mobs fast enough but it's of no help when you can't. I don't get it, plate wearers should feel tough but I'm more comfy having mobs beating on my MAGE than I am my warrior. That continues with gear, too... my warrior is my least favourite Island questing mob right now and he's in ToT LFR-calibre gear. Zero healing doesn't scale with gear, unfortunately, and the piddly additional armour can't make up for fights that last twice as long and mobs that hit twice as hard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-87108704312160410242013-06-24T09:45:06.903-04:002013-06-24T09:45:06.903-04:00I wish I had your groups.

But from friday on it is hit or miss and every saturday for the past 4 or 5 weeks it has been nightmare after nightmare.<br /><br />It could also have to do with the time you play. I have a guild mate that says he always has good runs but he does them while I am still at work. I do mine when I get home. Difference is, he plays with mostly adults, I play when the kids are there. That I think plays a huge part of it. I find it that adults are far less likely to troll a group with bad play on purpose when compared to kids doing it.<br /><br />It could be partly the US/UK thing but I think there are many other factors. Like the time one I mentioned.<br /><br />If they linked proving grounds to queue groups I would be in heaven. Only bronze with bronze, only silver with silver, only gold with gold, only those that have not done it with those that have not done it.<br /><br />But it would go back to what I say. If you put all the bronze and lower together, they would never get to the boss, never the less down it. The difficulty is just way to hard for the masses. As in you might as well ask them to be brain surgery because that would be easier for them than raiding is.TheGrumpyElfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621615711198405365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9015737272343810105.post-37770725995588794272013-06-24T09:17:01.516-04:002013-06-24T09:17:01.516-04:00Each time I see you speaking of the LFR I'm le...Each time I see you speaking of the LFR I'm left wondering "do we really play the same game?"<br /><br />I'm doing LFR on my horde hunter EVERY Week-end since 5.1 I would say. Never had one with more than a couple wipes on Lei Shen and the likes. Often I also do last part on Monday on my main hunter.<br /><br />So here was my question : How can our experiences be so different? I can't be lucky every single times I ran LFR, and I hear no one I knows complaining about really dumb groups.<br /><br />And then I made the connexion : you play in the US, and I play in EU.<br /><br />I think THAT is the big difference, it seems the average skill level in EU is way higher than in US. I would even say that for me the LFR difficulty is overall spot on. Myabe Lei shen an Jikun requiering a bit more of preparation/organisation. Hell even durumu maze of death is no longer that deadly in my runs.<br /><br />So my opinion LFR difficulty is fine, but there is a huge gap it seems in average skill level depending on the regions (remember Asia geting higher difficulty in 25 mans?), so must be hard for developper to find a sweet spot.<br /><br />With the introduction of proving ground in 5.4 I would love that to be able to queue for LFR you completed say silver level in the with the toon you want to queue with for LFR in that role, may help sort a lots of problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
