The most interesting part, you can upgrade your Tier 0 set through solo or 5 man party quests.

This would be a good implementation as the endgame for someone who does not want to pursue nightly 5-6 hour raids to MC and BWL with a massive guild kind of sucks.

You are always replacing old gear with better stuff though. That's progression. I don't really have a problem with it. There will always be bigger and better stuff out there...

I think it does mean you need to have the Tier 0 set to upgrade them. I think it works out because if you got something better than Tier 0 then the new armor probably would be just as good or a little better. In that case the only reason you would want to upgrade it is for collecting purposes or if you wanted the set bonus.

Not at all... For every class you could put together a set of various blues that would be better than the Tier 0 sets, but would fall short of Tier 1, or a Tier 1 comparable set such as this one. Take for example the Dreadmist set. For warlocks you want a good int/sta set with decent +damage. Dreadmist has only +21 damage as a set bonus, and nothing on the individual pieces. If they are trying to put together the best possible blue set, why waste time on Dreadmist? By "upgrade" I am positive they just mean this is a new set that is better than Tier 0. It will not require having your Tier 0 set...

Nah, the new set won't be as good as Tier 1. It'll be a mixture of both blue and purple items.

Lots of folks on the official forums are calling them Tier 0.5.

hardcore 01-31-06 04:04 PM

But if you look at the set bonuses, a lot of them are better than the comparable Tier 1 set bonuses.

I'm still going to try and get more Magisters gear even though i have stuff from dire maul thats better. I havent run strat/scholo/ubrs a million times yet so i still find it fun.
I just got in to a guild that has a good number of 60s so i can actually get into guild raids for these places and not worry about ninja looters.
hopefully i'll be running strat-baron side tonight since my wife has never seen it (she's in the guild as well). Guild run last night had the magisters pants drop and i missed it.

Glad to see you got into a good guild. It is absolutely night and day playing this game with a guild. You will be able to run UD Strat in about an hour with a 7+ raid and scholo in 1 1/2 hours as opposed to the crap you get with PUGs.

Thanks man. Still haven't set up an alliance character yet. My Hunter on Skywall is level 21 now, though. Good times! :)

Trying to quit right now. I play too much:)

Good luck, it was very difficult to quit... Once I was away for a month or so I really didn't have a desire to go back

innocentfreak 02-03-06 05:37 PM

So are most of you still playing on Cenarius? Other than Kennyboy I don't think I have bumped into anyone in a long time. I just finally hit 54 and I think I may actually hit 60 eventually. I spent so much time at lower levels I feel like a noob again now that I am back in new areas.

nickdawgy 02-04-06 01:41 AM

I was playing earlier in Ashenvale and started to get a bit of what I'd call a clipping issue when I turned. My FPS were alsways at least 60-70 with full graphics. Today it dropped as low as 1.7, and the ground became all blue, stuff started falling from the sky, it was really bad.

I flew to Crossroads to see if it was just an Ashenvale thing, and it was even worse there. Does this mean my video card is crapping out?

I have a 6600GT PCI-E card and a Athlon 64 3000+ cpu with a gig of RAM.

Draven 02-04-06 02:01 AM

Well, finally took the plunge and hopped into the WoW. Though my Mac Mini is chugging along like a trooper, I've got a new mid-range graphics card and a bunch of RAM coming for my old PC to enhance the experience.

So far I'm enjoying it, and I can see how it is addictive. But the nice thing is that I can really go at my own pace so I think I'll be able to handle it.

The character I'm using now is a level 12 Undead Warlock on Skyfall - Draaven.

nickdawgy 02-04-06 06:22 AM

I updated my video card driver, and the problem went away. Weird since it was less then a month out of date, and I never had the problem before.

T.Bickle 02-05-06 01:26 AM

I played WoW for a month when it first came out and then quit and I've just started playing again. I had DSL Lite then but now I have a cable connection. What I don't understand is why I can have a sub 100ms latency and it still lags. Anyway, I like it and I can live with a little lag. Right now my only char is a lvl22 Tauren Shammy on the Azgalor realm. I joined an awesome guild and they're really helping me out.

superman69 02-05-06 01:31 AM

unusual question. im pretty sure of the answer already, but what the hey..........
i installed WOW at my parents house as well as my own (sometimes you need somethin to do while the grandkids visit) anyway, i cannot play simultaniously on both pc's could i? say my brother on one and me on the other. i wouldnt think my account would allow this, but itd be damn cool if it were so

Fandango 02-05-06 03:02 AM

No you cannot do that, you would need two copies of the game and two seperate accounts. Some people actually do this however and play two characters simultaneously, a practice commonly known as dualboxing or twoboxing.

I knew people that used to do that on EQ since it was easy to PL people. Kind of hard to do on WoW, you'd think.

superman69 02-05-06 10:48 AM

wait. so i could actually have someone using my character at the same time then? is that whats bein said? and what does PL stand for?

phr33k 02-05-06 11:19 AM

anyone else find that this game is addicting as hell? I played it for 8 months, got full epics/highwarlord came from a nef killing guild, i basically did everything possible in the game i played non stop and it became very unhealthy so i decided to quit finally... i just sold my character for 1500$

Our guild site hasn't been immune either.

It's getting really annoying.

No, not with just one subscription. Only one character from a subscription can be played at a time. I think what they were saying was that a few people have two subscriptions and are playing two characters at once.

On a side frustrating note, I see that the game went on sale two weeks after I bought it. Typical...

nickdawgy 02-06-06 06:52 PM

I am trying to find a mod I had before, and can't remember the name of it. It was one that alerted you to what new spells you could learn and items you could make when you leveled. Like it'd say all the normal level stuff, and then something like "You can now learn ___________ from the trainer" or something.

Anyone know what I am talking about?

PL means power level.
