Group with 100 Random people using the dungeon finder, or use the tool by yourself 25 times
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
What Sean said. I had to bolt, so I just read the letter now, which is almost as good as the Perky Pug itself: "Dear very patient individual, We'd like to recognize your tenacity in running dungeons with people you probably haven't met before. Hopefullly you even showed some rookies the ropes in your pick-up groups. In short, we heard you like pugs. So here's a pug for your pug, so you can pug while you pug. Or something. Hugs. Your friends on the WoW Dev Team"
- Mark Trapp
That's awesome! WANT. Gonna take longer than 25 for me because I don't really want to do one without Tad (at least ONE person I know what to expect from), and sometimes Avynn, so that cuts down on the random people per group... but I WILL HAVE ONE.
- Lindsay
Congrats!
- Arlan Koizumi
I just hit the 50 mark yesterday. Between having to help guildies with their own heroic runs and wanting to do my own get-a-pug heroics, wow is being a srs killjoy.
- Miriella
Getting to 100 was surprisingly quick: the dungeon finder seems to be especially good at finding people at the same skill/gear level, making most dungeon runs take 15-25 minutes. I pumped out most of the runs in two sessions on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, and a lot of people I was running with were doing it because they signed on a little early for their guild raid night.

Sorry! It didn't transfer over for some reason - I'll repost in a second - Salty is the title you get when you get the "accomplished angler" achievement - in other words, you've spent a stupid amount of time fishing, or gotten really lucky often.

It will probably be a while until we can do guild runs of Naxx 10 ;) Are you pugging raids already? I hear there's a LFR interface, too....

I pugged the 10 man Naxx daily raid today. Was done in like 20 mins.
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
Nice gearscore! I'd even say you could be good for Ulduar 10 according to wow-heroes. However, are you hit soft capped? Since you're Draenei, you just need 7% due to Heroic Presence (normal hit [soft] cap, which is the goal so your special hits (like Deathstrike) won't have a chance to miss {edited, I initially said dodge} by raid bosses, is 8%). I was going to say you're way over...

Looks like you're ready for EoE and 25 OS, too! I just managed to upgrade my DPS set so I can get into H HoL :D I still can't do any of the new heroics. QQ

Victor: New heroics as in the Icecrown 5-mans? Dude, you wanna do the normal versions first. They're insane. But once you get the gear, I'm sure you folks will really enjoy them on Heroic. Challenging as heck, but pretty fun too.

I was running reg ToC today with a PuG and saw this...Note, the pally tanking is only carrying a shield and a mace. We easily beat the instance.
I'm assuming graphical glitch and he still has his gear on. :)
- Arlan Koizumi
What a nice green hiney!
- Miriella
Nope I should have screen capped my inspect page...that was all his gear. He tanked the whole instance that way.
- Christian (Simply X)
from email
LOL. Is his shield and mace from ToGC or Uld? This means we could totally do a reg ToC run. Free purples for everybody!
- Victor Ganata
I think he was ToGC Geared. He took a pretty good pounding, but the healer fixed him and he never died. ( I did 2 times. :\ )
- Christian (Simply X)
I guess he wanted to save some money from gear repair? Or just show his toon's ass to your party :D Now that I think about it, this is probably a good way for an overpowered DPS to nerf their damage so they don't pull all the mobs off the tank.
- Victor Ganata
Honestly I take gear off a lot of times when I tank (I am also an over geared, over powered pali tank) so that I get hit harder. Paladins mana is restored when they are healed so if my armor/def/dodge/etc are too high and I am not getting hit (and thus dont need heals) my mana tends to dip down a bit. I tank 5mans/10mans w/o a helm sometimes, with some pilgrim costume items on or in a chefs hat :) -- I know I can tank reg 5man toc w/ most of my armor off.
- Nicholas Kreidberg
Christian, WTB you real unit frames. oUF_Banthis might be a good start. I use oUF_Amnith on my healer and a custom one for my DK. - if oUF seems weird, pitbull would work.

If you haven't been in yet... Oman! It's hella fun. I mean not totally diff, but I like how the instances go. Jaina is just inside the entrance of FoS, and as you go through each one you complete the next step of her quest line. You get a port into the next instance once you finish, so it's super easy to go through all of them. *I just remembered the instance servers were full and I never got into HoR. >.>
- Heather
Also, the new quest help thingie on the map, when you hit M, is super helpful in the instance - it shows you where to go next!

Yeah, the new quest tracking just might make TomTom and Lightheaded obsolete.

There's no way in hell I'm farming mats without Gatherer. And if I'm tanking, I pretty much need Omen (although it kind of doesn't make sense to me--how do you get more than 100% of aggro?) The other ones I use I could probably survive without.
- Victor Ganata
@Victor, 100% means "all the threat generated by the top target" so 100%+ means "how much threat is required to pull aggro off you" eg. 141% would mean 41% more than you generate
- mjc
@mjc Ah, that makes a lot more sense. I kind of wish there were at least a README file I could look at.

As I'm doing quests on my lvl 70 alt, I'm no longer seeing the amount of gold earned on the quest turn in...They didn't eliminate granting currency on quest turn ins for lvl's below 80 did they??
CW™ liked this
gah! I'm not earning gold in addition to experience!! how am I to afford cold weather flying at lvl 77 without earning on quest turnin!?!
- Kamala Whitaker
You should still receive money rewards from quest turn ins. Although if you're doing grey quests, I'm not so sure. But I don't think you're doing grey quests, right? Maybe reload your ui? Do you have any mods that might be affecting the quest unit frames?
- Arlan Koizumi
Specifically I was doing this line of quests: Trust is Earned http://www.wowhead.com/.... Looking at the quest line in Wowhead reveals the following statement: Upon completion of this quest you will gain: * 20100 experience (or a 2 40 compensation at level 80)
- Kamala Whitaker
I suppose the quest never did grant gold....and I never noticed until now where they changed the quest tracking and look and feel of quests overall
- Kamala Whitaker
Huh. I thought that quest chain gave gold. There are some quests that won't give money, but those are usually transitional type quests (e.g. go talk to so and so).
- Arlan Koizumi
Also, if Blizz hasn't changed it, if you get to 77 and don't have enough gold for Cold Weather Flying go to K3 (http://www.wowwiki.com/K3). "Honest" Max can loan you a flying mount which you can use as long as you don't purchase Cold Weather Flying.
- Arlan Koizumi
@ Arlan WHAT??? I never knew this
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
@ Arlan wow, that's interesting, I didn't know you could "borrow" a mount....I'm going to look for that specifically then. THanks :D
- Kamala Whitaker
Yeah, it's great for when you're grinding and questing the last bit to 80, but don't have quite enough gold for CWF. However, follow the links on that wowwiki page and notice the restrictions on where you can use the loaner.
- Arlan Koizumi
Your main can also purchase the Tome of Cold Weather Flight http://www.wowwiki.com/Tome_of... to give to your alt.
- Victor Ganata
@ Victor that only works if the alt in question is on the same account as the Main ;) Unfortunately in my case I'm working with two different accounts (how else am I going to power level myself through 80 levels...you don't think I'd do it with just the one toon do ya?) and on the account in question I don't actually have any level 80 alts (on that server...)
- Kamala Whitaker
Heh, yeah, I guess that wouldn't work. What do you use for your dual box setup? It's something I've always wanted to try at some point--I do miss the old school cRPGs where you control multiple characters in your party....
- Victor Ganata
@ Victor I use an application called Synergy (http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/) to share my keyboard and mouse between two computers (connected to two monitors on my desktop). Then I play as a "tank+healer" combo where I control my "tank" (I'm using quotes cause I'm using the term tank loosely - basically I can pull this off with any melee and some form of healing combination) and macro...

- Kamala Whitaker
I have a total of 6 accounts (only have 2 active at any given time) and maxed out the number of alts per account on the Uldum server...and have slowly been migrating the alts to the Silvermoon server :D
- Kamala Whitaker
and back to the original topic of this thread - I don't have a problem with gold (LOL) it's the principle of the thing for newer players...it looked like they reduced gold earning for quests and I was looking to see if anyone else noticed this change with patch 3.3.
- Kamala Whitaker
I don't know. Even before 3.3, the amount of gold quests gave you seemed rather paltry. I've probably earned almost all of my gold from the AH and from grinding humanoid mobs.

maybe you should Steven. they animated the comic. in that context, this is a great movie. its not trying to be accurate in anyway. its supposed to be over the top and exaggerated. this is a bluray/hd must have for anyone that has the slightest interest in hi-def. check out the comic at your LCS and see for yourself.

Oh, I loved this movie. I always compare it like watching ballet. Well I guess people looking at ballet pay attention to the same things I was liking in 300. I still like to show myself my favourite scenes. Maybe the same scenes you laugh about, but I think the action scenes in this movie are so stylistically attractive, it's making it one of the best films of the last few years.
- Ton Zijp
I liked the movie. Although most of it were over the top, fantasy-esque, I did enjoy the few bits that were relatively faithful of the Spartans. For example, their laconic wit (although I can see how it dampens most view of the dialogue) and the lambda on their shields. Nice portayal of the phalanx and their warrior spirit. Being able to capture the comic frames and translate them to a movie was also pretty awesome.

Comparing Nightwatch movie to the book, I didn't care for it much. But on its own as a movie, what they did was awesome. Daywatch felt like it was just bloated with special effects (though I still liked watching it). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

I actually did not enjoy the Nightwatch book, I read about half of it before giving it up. I've also seen the other Nightwatch, with Ewan McGregor, completely different feeling. ;)

The opening scene of Wanted is so obviously in the same style as Nightwatch that I'm not sure why it took my third viewing to piece it together. I did recognise that they shared an actor though.

At first I thought it was funny that the median age of the average gamer was getting older and older, but then I realized, the gamers when the average age was 20-something are now of course, older. So I think these studies are following the generation that's really the first one that started gaming.

I'm not 35 and I'm not overweight, I might be sad but I'd say stressed is more accurate. Plus, I love my WoW friends, they might not come over my house but I talk to them all the time and they're great. It might not be the same quality as offline friendships, but that doesn't mean online friendships don't "count".

"SOME men may have been saddened to hear of the recent slump in sales of baseball caps. I, for one, turned my customary frown upside down. Baseball caps have enjoyed a run atop hipster heads that has surpassed F.D.R.’s stay in office. At the very least, trends should be subject to the same term limits as presidents. In other words, bub, doff it. Many men have taken to the far worthier wool driving cap, and with good reason. It may not suggest that you are an indie-rock guitar rebel who thinks two chords are plenty, but it will keep your head warmer — and more important, your hair neater — in cold weather."
- Derrick
from Bookmarklet
Many men, drawn to the cap’s misty English gentry connotations, opt for plaids or tweeds of a colorful stripe, for some country-squire pizazz. But its background is squarely 19th-century working class, when they were such common garb as to be known simply as caps. In a humbler-looking fabric, like a gray or brown herringbone, a plain loden or a lightly speckled tweed, the cap looks great with a peacoat, leather jacket or fisherman’s sweater — or anything one might deem more Irish than squirish.

No, honestly, there's no way we could have. You guys need more upgraded gear on you before we can try that one again.

On a related note, looking at all of your gear, there is a marked lack of enchantments that could be very beneficial to all of you. Just because something is a blue or green doesn't mean it shouldn't get an enchant. Especially when you have an end-game enchanter at your disposal (me). If you're not sure what should be enchanted or what to enchant with, check yourself on WoW-Heroes. It will give you recommendations for what enchant

I have better things to do with my time. kthxbai.

Woah woah whoa. I was kidding. Not trying to be snarky at all. Sorry :(
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
Kiss and make up, guys? Group hug? Yeah, we're sadly undergeared for that fight and definitely need more purples. I've been scouring Google for recommended gear to be ready for heroics. Here are a couple for DPS DKs: http://dancing-rune.blogspot.com/2008... and http://zerozephr.livejournal.com/213922...
- Victor Ganata
And thanks for the assessment, Amanda. It's good to know the specific reasons why we kept eating shit and dying. Gear is a lot easier to upgrade than skill :D Still, I think I've probably gotten as far as I can get with gear I can buy without dumping thousands of GPs into the AH for crafted purples. I really need to start picking up badge gear and/or leveling my BS skill.
- Victor Ganata
My lack of mana and low spell power def has a lot to do with it. I only have one purple item, and it's a ring. I seriously need better gear. I'm gonna start rep grinding as of tonight just to get some decent blues at least.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
One thing to keep in mind is that when you run with a group that's mostly overgeared (which is the case with most pugs), heroics should only take about a half-hour. You can run one or two heroics a night and get a really nice bump in your rep grinding, a few badges, experience, and possibly a few blues that should save you some time. I think waiting for DYSP-only runs, if you're interested in getting geared, is doing you guys a disservice.
- Mark Trapp
And yeah, even when running with OP groups, HoS Tribunal is still a pain in the butt. The first successful one I did we only won by dumb luck: we wiped 3 seconds before the event ended, so we got credit. The second one was only because the healer, the tank, and a DPS were in full TotC 25 gear. When I pug heroics, I try to stick with the easy fast ones: Gundrak, Violet Hold, Culling of Stratholme, and Utgarde Keep.
- Mark Trapp
Except that I hate PUGs. With a blinding fiery passion. I always get stuck in a group with a couple elitist assholes who want to tell me how to play my character, or on a single wipe freak out and start cursing everyone out. I know it's slow to wait for DYSP runs, but if the alternative is what I described above, then I'll gladly wait it out.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
I dunno, I see it as free advice you don't have to take. You always have the option to leave the group if someone's being a real prick or never grouping with that person again. What do you care what a stranger thinks of how you play? You're there to get loot from them, so joke's on them. For DYSP runs though, I think we just need to run things that aren't HoS tribunal for a while: we...

- Mark Trapp
Actually it's better for them to run it as a guild because if they continue to rely on OP people carrying them through runs, they will never improve as players. It's not just about how much shit you can pile up on your character, it's about actually LEARNING SOMETHING. Last night was the first time I've EVER failed Tribunal, and I've actually run it with gear-appropriate groups before....

We had problems on EVERY boss. And we lagged between pulls because Sean was having to mana up a lot. Just because we survived a fight doesn't mean we did it well. It means we were fucking LUCKY.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
I didn't get that impression at all. I feel confident in our teamwork and always have. We need practice, sure, but no need to crap all over what we did accomplish last night. I think we all need to step away from this thread because people are getting upset. It was one run, and a late night one at that.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
If the purpose of the game, and the guild, is to have fun, I don't know what the value of doing things like this are if everyone's going to get upset with each other about how a run went. Let's do stuff that doesn't result in a nasty thread like this being created.
- Mark Trapp
Agreed, Mark. 100%.
- Haggis (Sean Loyless)
Sean - I was speaking of one person specifically, not the entire group as a whole. We'll discuss offline if you need more information. I was already done with this thread hours ago but came back because I think advising you to just run with OP groups so you can gear up is a poor attitude to have; I don't want to see you guys getting in that rut. It makes for shitty team players and you're better than that.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Well, let's get it out in the open. There were 5 people in the group, and obviously you or Sean aren't the person you're referring to. If it was Victor, I doubt you'd have finished the run later with him. So either it's me or Gunny, and I really don't think you have a problem with Gunny. So what's your problem? What did I do that has you railing about how awful last night was?
- Mark Trapp
My problem? Well really, it seems that I *am* the problem. So what I'm going to do now is unsub from this group and when I get home, I will pull my toons from the guild. My presence has created a disharmony and it's better for y'all if I stepped completely away. I apologize if I've ruined anyone's gameplay. It was not my intention. I just wanted to help and apparently every time I do that, I just piss you all off even more. So. I'm outtie.
- tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Come on, don't do that (if you haven't done it already). I've lurked in this group and it seemed to me you all got along more than you fought. Wouldn't it be better if you folks got together in vent or ingame and just talk things over?
- Arlan Koizumi
Re-reading the top... badge gear farming is nice, but really right now, that's trying to jump a step. Prior to the whole easy conquest badge farming, you only could farm heroism badges in heroics. That's pretty much gear before doing Naxx hardcore (just about Naxx 10-man). The gear progression should be instance/quest > rep/crafted purples > heroics/badge gear > fracking raiding...
more...
- Arlan Koizumi
You're right Arlan, but I'd argue that running heroics is the fastest way to gain rep (when compared to daily quests). When you can get ~1500-2000 rep from one heroic run vs. 750/day of rep for Wyrmrest, I don't think it's a bad idea to run a heroic with overpowered pugs to get what you need to run what you want. I thought last night was purely a gear issue, and to me, getting gear is a...

Looking at the almighty Gear Score as a benchmark, I have one of 3217 which is BARELY acceptable for 10 man Naxx. I picked up a couple of pieces from the article Vic linked. Thanks Vic.
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
Hmm. What are you using to calculate Gear Score?
- Victor Ganata
I've found most people refer to the wow-heroes.com instead of the AddOn, which uses a different formula. It looks like yours is 1367 (url: http://wow-heroes.com/index...). Just adding enchants should bump that up a hundred points or so.
- Mark Trapp
*sigh* I thought The add on made me sound pretty dang good :(
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
Well, you have a lot of room on your enchants :)
- Victor Ganata
Mark: I agree too. Rep grinding can be fast in heroics. But yes, "lower level" heroics would probably be better to tackle right now. When you start doing stuff like HoS, HoL, UK, things can get hairy if you don't have the basic gear for the difficulty. Unfortunately, I can't remember if doing HoS on regular will give you rep (I'm thinking only level 80 instances gives rep without it being heroic).
- Arlan Koizumi
finding enchanters who will do stuff for me NAO without Mats is the challenge :D
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
Regular HoS won't (although regular HoL will.) To be sure, when we tried running H UK without anyone who was overgeared, it was kind of a struggle, although it was gratifying to make improvements and slowly get through it after each wipe. I don't think we'll be running H HoS any time soon without any overpowered assistance.
- Victor Ganata
I've been buying scrolls from the AH mostly. And then there are the enchants you can get from different factions after you grind enough rep. This is probably a lot easier than trying to get mats when you can't DE things.
- Victor Ganata
These tips will probably be old news, but if not, cool beans. Ret Pally: 1) Repentance when you can and HoJ mobs. In a learning group, every bit of cc is helpful, 2) Use instant FoL on the tank or healer if the pally's own hp is ok, 3) BoP people if they're in trouble, 4) Save LoH for tank in really hard boss fights. DK: 1) Strangulate and Mind Freeze caster mobs to help mitigate...

- Arlan Koizumi
wait I can BUY enchants on teh AH?
- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
You folks use raid icons to set primary and secondary targets? Can also use other icons to designate CC. For tanks, an alternative to enchants are armor patches. heavy borean kits give +18 stamina. Provided the tank already has head, shoulder and leg enchants, you can still get a 54 sta boost.
- Arlan Koizumi
As you solo, you should be getting a few green items. Besides selling them, give 'em to an enchanter friend to DE. And yeah, you can usually find scrolls with enchants in the AH.
- Arlan Koizumi
wow-loot.com shows you some gear you can get before raiding. I thought I saw this posted earlier but wow-gem.com is great for picking gems.
- Arlan Koizumi
I've added some enchants. I feel a little better about myself now

- Gunny doesn't side-hug™
@Gunny it's not the most intuitive app, but it works. basically you want to make sure to put at least a gem and item enhancement in any place you can do so (don't tell rawr you want to enchant your rings if you're not an enchanter, for example), set filters to only instances/crafting/tokens you can get without much effort (perhaps don't include triumph gear if you don't do raids...

360 is still the best system overall, though the prices are probably about the same if you take into account you have to pay for a Gold Membership with the Xbox and probably a wireless adaptor (which comes with the PS3). However, the PS3 is in a much better position now (more good games, better price) and I'm intending to buy one before Xmas.

LANjackal, what I mean is the average consumer doesn't care that much. They'll buy a big HD TV and then watch stretched SD TV on it. Some people don't even get HD service. I'd say about 10% or less of people are knowledgeable and care enough to have high fidelity video. Within that group, a fair amount will want the highest quality blu ray (and upscaler) they can get.
- Cristo
We have them all. However we play most on the Xbox 360. Why, because I can play with my sister in Rochester and it has more games that we want to play with people and because I'm a achievement whore. Some games are just better on the other platforms, but as a all around good platform for lots of things, its Xbox for us. :)
- Rachel Lea Fox
Cristo, I disagree. If your TV is capable of what a blueray player can produce, even regular DVD's look better played on a blueray player as it boosts they quality of regular video. And blueray disks look amazing!!
- Rachel Lea Fox
Most people don't have a good upscaling BR player though, Rachel. They have something like the PS3...which is not a good upscaling DVD player at all.
- Alex Scoble
I'm talking about DVDs, LANjackal...which in order to be played nicely at 1080p they need to be upscaled. Either by your TV (horrible) or by DVD player (usually less horrible, particularly if you have a good upscaling DVD player).
- Alex Scoble
I think Cristo's right. My cousins have a nice widescreen TV and they were happy to watch stretched SD content on it. Incorrect aspect ratios just kill me, but apparently enough people are OK with them that Food Network HD runs all their old SD content in modified stretchovision.
- Andrew C
Rachel, what are you disagreeing with me about? I didn't say blu ray doesn't look amazing or that upscaling blu ray players don't make DVDs look better. I also didn't say that you didn't see a quality difference. I said 90% of consumers aren't that picky.

Cristo, I think that the difference between SD and HD at least in broadcast is crystal clear (and they do care) to most of the viewing population. DVD --> BD, you might have a point, but I personally think that it's also clear and significant.
- Chieze Okoye
Chieze, while I don't have numbers to back up my assertion, I still think you'll find lots of people that are unaware. I'm talking people walking on the street, not people that are already self-selected by being in Best Buy or talking about A/V systems online. The average consumer is just not that picky. They are more sold on the *idea* of HD TV than the actual fidelity. The thing most people notice is 16:9 vs 4:3.
- Cristo
Chieze - You also have to account for the fact that some of us, while being aware of HDTV (broadcast, cable, satellite), we still don't have the means to use it. While we have a large screen LCD 1080p television, it would cost us a lot of extra money to get HD DirecTV service (I think it's $300 to upgrade our receiver, and another $15 or $20/month extra for the service). It's not that important to me, so I simply watch SD TV on the television. It still looks good.
- Curtiss Grymala
Hmm, good point Curtiss. I guess that's personal preference, because I have Comcast and honestly I can barely look at SDTV broadcasts anymore.
