JRowley Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Ah. I haven't bothered with trades (or whatever they're called.. Professions?) yet. Truth be told, I don't even know how to select one You should get on that, certainly take skinning at least if you just want to make some gold, skin any beast after you kill them. Doesn't take up hardly any extra time. Just go to your races hub and ask a guard for the profession trainer that you are interested in. Worth mentioning that if you level a character to level 60+ before boosting you get your trade skills maxed out. I didn't know this! Edited November 4, 2014 by JRowley
Garacesh Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Worth mentioning that if you level a character to level 60+ before boosting you get your trade skills maxed out. Oh, NOW you tell me xD I think I was Lv46 when I boosted.. I'd have happily slogged the next 14 levels if I'd have known.
LiamH Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 You should get on that, certainly take skinning at least if you just want to make some gold, skin any beast after you kill them. Doesn't take up hardly any extra time. Just go to your races hub and ask a guard for the profession trainer that you are interested in. I didn't know this! My recommendation would be to take skinning/mining/herbalist while leveling to 60 (it gives you XP gathering!) then maybe switching to the hard to level trade skills before boosting, assuming you have a toon who can gather your mats. I haven't been on in the past few weeks.. end of xpac's are always a drag, cant wait for WoD to land so i have something new to do. By the way i saw someone mentioned the glowing outlines earlier, you can turn those off in the settings!
DMcGuigan Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Also worth noting that if you had any characters that were deleted you can recover them indefinitely if they're upwards of level 60. You can bring back one character per account a month. I brought back my hunter that I used my free 80 boost they bribed me with back in Cata, so that made 90 number 6 over the weekend
CAM Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Soo yeah running OK-ish on Ubuntu 14 now. May be getting back into this with my Holy Pally! I should plan a Retribution spec though, spamming Denounce isn't getting me very far.
visioN Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I got the new WoW at the weekend. (lasted played pre pandera) So my main is level 91 Mage now but hardly played it. My realm is Silvermoon and the queues were insane. And the lag at the garrisons is unplayable. Hopefully will settle down soon! If anyone wants to bnet ID let me know. Once I'm 100 i'll just PVP and odd heroic!
Trapper Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 I'm playing Eve Online with two accounts mining in high sec space. It is blissfully quiet.
Garacesh Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 @visioN I've actually cancelled my subscription until they sort the servers out - I can't be arsed paying for a game I can't play. @Trapper I used to play a fair bit of Eve when it got released. How is it now?
CAM Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Anyone who had a subscription active during the launch window has been given 5 days free game-time to make up for the downtime and queues. Estimated to have cost Blizzard a fair packet!
visioN Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Yeah people who had an active sub on nov 14th get an extra 5 days. I bought it on the 15th and was unable to play it... i've got an open ticket with them now!
Jowley Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Anyone who had a subscription active during the launch window has been given 5 days free game-time to make up for the downtime and queues. Estimated to have cost Blizzard a fair packet! Blizzard Press Center They probably won't be heartbroken with giving 5 days out if they can keep the subscribers going back up/steady (+2.6 million from quarter 3) but yeah obviously you don't wanna lose what impact you've gained by throwing it all away to server issues. Heard good things from my friends list while i've been playing Heroes of the Storm when it has been playable though. I've not bought back into it again yet (albeit it does look interesting) - you guys enjoying it when you can get in?
GrumbleDook Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 My box just arrived, but waiting until next month before resubscribing ... Will probably do 3 months (playing one night a week) and see how it goes.
JRowley Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Yeah I'm happy with the 5 extra days compensation, I'll ding 100 tonight quite easily.
bushby Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 im enjoying the new exp way more then the panda's as i keep getting distracted by rares on quests and then after an hour of questing i remember im on a quest -_-. so in other words its: Hi my name is bushby and im a wow addict 1

Will be W/c 8th now
DMcGuigan Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I'm just running around farming Garrison Resources, killing rares and getting toys. I hit 610 ilevel this morning, still too busy doing random world things to start trying HCs
Trapper Posted November 23, 2014 Author Posted November 23, 2014 No expansion in my mind can beat Wrath of the Lich King. That was awesome from start to finish. Even spending almost 18 months at Level 70 doing rep runs was so much fun, and I love Dalaran. By far the prettiest city.
Garacesh Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Well apparently queues are sorted now (my friend told me yesterday he doesn't have to rush home, login, and then finally get to play after dinner xD) so I'll probably renew my subscription once I've used my 14 days of EVE

rich_tech Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I am 99 now, tonight I will ding 100 all going well. Playing horde on Frostwhisper, its been an excellent expansion to play through, nice to see Draenor before the shattering. It doesnt have the epicness of LK, but its the best expansion to be released since there. Garrisons are ok so far, bit miffed having to do 15 minutes of "Admin" logging on, wish there was an auto assign option for missions. I am not missing flying strangely enough and also loving being able to fight on Wolf in Nagrand, that badly needed adding into the game I think. As the 5 days, I dont think thats sufficient compensation, its pretty meaningless if your an active subscriber to add on 5 days to a recurring subscription, personally I think it should have been a free month or some in game compensation, like 1500 Garrison resources.
LiamH Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Healing is much more challenging this expansion, hoping that DPS and tanks catch up on that pretty soon as they are still in MOP *pull all the things!* mode. It was a bit of an adjustment as I normally heal, gone from solo healing some fights in SoO (even Garry) to having to sit and drink between trash pulls. Oh and for the people who have yet to do the molten core lfr... the mount is snazzy, but expect a LONG tedious run, took us a few hours to get through, lfr with 40 people is terrible! one particular highlight was a wipe, with people releasing at the start of the instance and the trash just charging back and forth throughout the raid murdering people running back in until we managed to convince people to wait for the mobs to reset.
Garacesh Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 How are things going to change for me, as a Hunter? Anyone know what I ought to be expecting?
LiamH Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 How are things going to change for me, as a Hunter? Anyone know what I ought to be expecting? Hunters took a bit of a well needed hit, still performing well however, the rotations have been simplified a lot. I think marksman is performing quite well right now on "turret fights" but most fights seem to need a lot of movement which is a big DPS loss for them.

I hadn't gotten into PvP or large scale raiding yet so rotation change isn't an issue.. Hadn't sorted mine out yet I spec'd Marksman, but why would moving result in a DPS drop? Hunter skills can be cast whilst moving.

MM hunters have a passive called Sniper, buffs you while you're standing still. I'm assuming the amount of movement will cause too much downtime on it. Luckily I'm a Combat Rogue, so moving around a lot isn't much of a problem for me Edited November 24, 2014 by DMcGuigan
