Thanks Serejai 
Your 90 is alliance Arnstein ? Whisp me IG, if i can i'll come with you.
I can do some mobs solo as alliance as i'm kind of not weel equipped but as horde i can do elite solo so it will be even faster.
And if i don't answer... i'm surely watching some BW :p

So I came back to this game after quitting post wotlk, and while I did nothing but arena back in those days a few games of arena today have put me off it pretty heavily. So I've got myself a legendary cloak, 568 ilvl and I play a warlock pretty well - I'll put out 400k dps on a lot fights.
Does anyone know how I'd go about getting into some heroics? I don't really know anyone on this server any more, it's been like 3 years I think lol.
Also fallen protectors is pretty lolzy, 1 million dps depending on opener isn't out of the ordinary for me as aff, generally more then double the next class down. Who designed soulswap lol
|
you'd have to app to guilds to do heroics, people won't take you to heroics unless you're like 570+ on oqueue/trade, which is kind of dumb

Giving my brief history of WoW:
I used to play back in Vanilla. I always wanted to raid but could never adhere to the strict raiding times. Best I could do was raid with a B-Tier guild and wipe in MC and Onyxia. Instead of raiding I used most of my time grinding in PVP. I eventually got up to rank 10 (Champion) then relaxed after that. I lacked the motivation to grind HWL, it was seriously a real grind. I was playing a Ele shammy btw. Anyways, I found this a lot of fun PvP wise. And I would do it all over again If I had the chance.
In TBC, I dropped out of college and could now raid in a more serious matter. I enjoyed it somewhat. Joined a really niche guild that worked its way up from 10man mara to 25man SSC and a little bit of BT. Really good times. At this point I gave up on PVP and started focusing on raiding, also rerolled into a Prot War.
Now WoTLK, this is where things started to lose its novelty for me. I joined a completely Hawaii based guild and I was their main off-tank. We were prolly rated 2nd or 3rd best guild in the server. In terms of item progression-wise, my warrior was top of the leader boards on our server. But none of this mattered to me. Everything felt so pale and boring back then, this is when I slowly started to realize that I wasnt not having fun anymore.
Anyways, I bought the other expacs: Cataclysm and MoP just to scratch my WoW itch every now and then, but never played past the 1 month subscription time.
So Im asking: As someone who has played WoW since Vanilla to WoTLK. Is there really any reason for me to get back on for Warlords of Draenor? I honestly cant quite put my tongue on what would make me want to come back. But I still find a lot of interest in the game. Idk, maybe its just nostalgia...

If you can get into good raiding guild ofc. It's same thing as always.

Well, I've played since Vanilla beta and I'm honestly pretty excited for WoD except for a few things . . . like them lying to us and advertising for months that Karabor(Black Temple) and Bladespire Fortress(Ogre city we take) and now we get to have copy and pasted cities on the PvP island called Ashran which alot of people do not like. If you like PvP thats probably going to be the place for you. Also, doing battlegrounds would also get you some boxes for you to open and those boxes have a chance to have PvP gear and honor and etc. Dunno if that changed but I haven't heard anything.
For questing they are changing how it works a little bit. Instead of only quests you accept there are icons on the map that you can go to like little events and you activate a quest or two for that area that you went to but you don't have to do it if you don't want to. Theres also random events with things like coming across a group of dead orcs and it leads you to the other part of that event or a time lost ogre tower that you can go into and get some loot. Lots of random events like that that give you resources for your garrisons or some other things like building plans and whatnot.
For raiding, basically everything is going to use the Flex system now except for maybe Mythic raiding. For LFR if alot of people leave then the raid will adjust and tune itself to the amount of people you have. You can do normals with like 10-20(30??) people, however many you want and it'll adjust and tune itself to the amount of people you have in your raid group so as long as you have 10 people you can raid and if anyone else logs on in the middle of your raid and wants to join then now they can. Mythic raiding is going to be 20 man and its the "Heroic mode" for WoD.
They are also doing a stat squish where numbers are going to be around the levels of WOTLK I think and they are also doing some ability pruning as in taking out alot of abilities and changing things around.
Thats all I can think off the top of my head I'm sure someone will add to the list.

So what do people generally assume by now what the release date for WoD is? Have read some rumours about October 17th, which is 10th birthday of WoW.
|
Well the Blizzard store page (on the dekstop client) says "is expected to be released on or before 12/20/14"
|
PvP will never be the same for me. Its impossible to replicate Vanilla PvP.
Seems like raiding seems more lenient though. Ive heard of LFR but never tried it. Actually seems like a lot of fun.
|
LFR sounds fun until you do them and realize 16 out of 25 are AFK or worse at the game then your grandmother. That said, raiding is more accessible to the general public while maintaining the hard content for the top %. Despite all the whining people give it I would call it the development team's greatest success in the game.

It's not actual raiding though, it's just kind of running in there and grabbing relatively bad loot or wiping because everyone went full retard.
I mean it's fun the first few times, but it doesnt compare to actual raiding.

Current release date is mid november internally at blizzard. Whether or not they hit that mark is anyone's guess.

Considering they are trying to cut back on quite a few things I wouldn't be surprised.

Hi WoW Friends.
Me and my cousin are looking to get back into WoW and raiding. Not played since Cata release and was wondering if you could recommend some EU realms that are pretty decent for finding a raiding guild?

I dunno he's made a bunch of posts claiming "insider insight" into Blizzard and not sourced anything.
wouldnt believe tbh. Though that seems like a logical time for them

So I just got my beta invite for the expansion. Haven't played super serious since end of BC and through WotLK. I was off and on for Cata/MoP, considered myself casual during that time. Haven't found an MMO to capture my attention like WoW had.
Blizzard just doesn't want to let me go. Can't remember the last time I logged on, only played MoP for like 2months.
Was gladiator for BC/WotLK and eventually turned hardcore raider at the end of WotLK. Did RBGs for Cata and raided when I had time for Cata/MoP.
See how well I like this new expansion. Can't wait to see some faces I haven't seen since Warcraft 2, see how that goes.

Screw you, Zooper.
|
Still need someone to recommend me an EU realm! Looking to start raiding again to practice for WoD, but need to find a guild. Currently on bloodfeather which is basically dead. Any recommendations?
