    I dunno, maybe at your level, but being a low level player is fun, there is always quests to do. But the dungeons are wrecking my head, to many noobs who just rush in. do they not understand that you have to draw them out, aand let the tank take the damage before you rush in???

    Well make a list of crap players that u have played with before, and make sure u never get to play with them again.

    Im starting to do that my self cause you meet them. Guys that during a dungon tell u they have to go. Then the next time u play them they do the same thing.

    At the moment im playing with 3other players from my guild who are sound. And each night we just have to find one more player and off we go. Try and get to know some people around the same lvl as you. And hope they are sound and good players.

    Also i have found tanks think cause there tanks they can plow into anything and live. Or pull 7 or more guys and we all get wiped.

    P.S im finaly lvl 70 since last night.

    HOLY SHíT

    i'd say i have less on my warlock... and i've close to 70 days played :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 9,255 ✭✭✭anonymous_joe


    I know... :S

    That's almost as bad as that infamous Undead lock, the rank 14 one with some sort of psychotic number. I feel bad with around 40k or so, but like, as you said, 70 days played or so, a lot of that during the old pvp system.

    Wow, you ranked up fast, considering... ^^

    and why is it everytime i try to start up WOW i have to download the patch-ive done this twice and still cant get the game started???!!!

    I had the same problem when I started because the launcher had something wrong with with it so I had to go into the wow dir in program files and run the program directly and bypass the launcher.

    I've reinstalled since and there's no problem... at least on my pc?

    Also if you're talking about the problem which doesn't concern the launcher download the patch directly from MMO-Champion and install it manually. I had encountered this very problem and solution with the latest patch.

    200g is loads at 35,

    Most players have to beg for their mount money at 40.

    First toon had 950g from AH farming by level 39 and savagery on epic Nightblade sword. This was great because at that level I first started to go into the BG but it was a pain in the arse being mistaken for a twink on my own realm all the time especially since that was the only enchant I had the only other epic I have was a mace for tanking. Worse than that though was for people to accuse me of buying gold and telling me I've been reported etc - envious ass nubcakes tbh :D

    Sucktacular alliance-side interest in PvP on Kilrogg + most ranking up done pre-1.12 + the worst of the BG-grinding being after rank 10 = getting rank 9 relatively easily back in the day :)

    Glad they got rid of that old honor system though in a way, though the quality of BG play really went down after 2.0. Then again, I'm a healbot, so if other people play like crap I really can't do much (apart from itemrack into my tank gear and flagrun!).

    You must be playing this game for a very long time ?
    I would like to have a 70 warrior my self as i always think they must find the game easy. I find there just to overpowering.

    Also i dont like the idea of leveling up another guy to 70. Would find it a drag.

    i just HATE questing. one 70 warlock is more than enough for my entertainment. the idea's of going to ganklethorn vale, duskwood and all those other dire places just pisses me off no end.

    don't try to level a tank though, and to be good at tanking requires some skill.
    Much easier with my mage and hunter, pew pew and relaaaaax :)

    Its gone so bad that i want to take some days off from work and play the game. The minute i get home from work on i go into WoW. And im thinking im not the only person who has felt the same about this game.

    So anyone else in the same situation as me ?

    Yup, just wait till you get a 2week holiday from work, you'll spend the first week at your computer screen and the second in hospital with a bad case of square eyes.

    When i lost my job (*cough*) i spent every second i could playing WoW, my life outside of the game had been forgotten and when i finally got some sleep i was plagued by images of warlocks chasing me in battlegrounds. Im sure im not the only one to over kill this game and had some wow related dreams, i think almost every player has gone thru a transition of non-stop gaming before learning how to control their time gaming.

    Last i heard the Over-gaming in WoW Deathcount was at 19 ppl. Mostly all Koreans.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,614 ✭✭✭BadCharlie


    I guess i spend all my spare time at it. Tonight i will go home log on for about 20mins then get ready for my soccer. But im sure when i get home at around 9 i will be on wow until 12.

    I don't think i have giving up anything since i started to play wow. Its just that it has taking all my spare time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 969 ✭✭✭sunzz


    Believe me you get addicted, but **** it, whats worse sitting watching tv or sitting on the pc interacting and socialising with people..It's only when you start to put it before gf/sleep/work/food and heading out with mates that you should just take a step back!

    I play wow from like 7pm-10pm sun-thurs just for raiding, those 3 hours are fine for me but i was at one stage gaming 12 hours a day, taking sickies from work etc etc :(

    Thankfully i've it under control now..

    But those people who play it straight for like 80 hours and die are INSANE :)

    i have a 70 ud warrior, was my first toon and warriors are easy for most classes to kill in pvp. a good warrior with good tier gear can kick ass though.

    lvling was a pain till i discovered duel wielding and the fury tree : )

    jus started an ud warlock.. should be more fun to lvl me thinks!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,614 ✭✭✭BadCharlie


    As a hunter i think Warriors are over powering. Well the good Warriors are!

    With there charge, and if you do get away then they will use there intercept. And if you get away from that also they prob can use there charge again!

    That's why at the moment im starting to level up a warrior also. Its only at 24 but waiting for the new patch to make leveling up alot faster! With the warrior i think i will just join some arena team when at 70 & forget about Kara ect...

    Well charge can't be used in combat,

    Hunter is one of the few classes that Warrior should own every time.

    Trust me, most of the time in 1v1 you will get your ass handed to you as a warrior.

    Awesome in arena though


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,614 ✭✭✭BadCharlie


    I guess my Hunter is not the best at the moment, and cant take much more damage when he run's in for the second time.If i trap them they use there Trinket and out he comes. In the Arena Warrior and paladin work very well together.

    I have teamed up with a Pal for my 2v2 but find i run out off mana or i just cant do enough damage!
    The Warlock and myself team just dont work out. I might do 20k to 40k Damage sometimes more during our fight, Yet he only does about 10k to 15k max. I think that a 2v2 team should not have a Hunter in it, well not me anyway's.

    But its totaly differint in my 3v3 Team. Have a shamman healer and an epic warrior. We only have played 15 games togather so far and won 9 of them ( But the feeling i get from this team is that we work very well together ). So im looking forward to playing with them more in the near future!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,614 ✭✭✭BadCharlie


    A quick question.

    If i shoot the Warrior before he gets his first charge in! Does that mean his now in combat and cant do his first charge ? But off course he still has his intercept!

    Whats the cool down on the Intercept ?

    Yes if you hit him before he charges then he wont be able to use it,

    Intercept is only usable in Berserker Stance, and theres a 30 second CD on it,

    Though with talent points this can be as low as 20 seconds.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,560 ✭✭✭Ivan


    With the arena set bonus the cooldown can be as short as 15 seconds. Which is a terrifying prospect ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,528 ✭✭✭copeyhagen


    i always found hunters to be a bit of a pain. u can get rid of their pet easy enough and intercept, but i always found pvp aganst hunters 1v1 to be a fuker.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,614 ✭✭✭BadCharlie


    I love taking on anyone in 1v1, but its just when its 2v2 when you need to rely on your team m8 then it just sucks!
