Grats on your Vashj kill. I really think it was the first fight where I actually screamed on vent once the boss died.

There's a quest whre you get a boot, and have to kick a skeleton to take hair samples from the scourge. His name is Nazz.. the quest is called Kicking Nazz and taking names... He says hilarious stuff









Gotta love the bored Devs and Placeholder items

That's too funny. I've heard that they're trying to be really inventive when it comes to new quests. SO looking forward to Northrend it's not even funny.

i got in a guild kill of Kael last night and got my cavern of time ring. its kind of funny that the only tier 5 bosses my shaman has faced and defeated are Vashj and Kael. (gorefiend is the only T6).

soooo apparently in the patch yesterday they changed most all the character models, added some polys to the models and such... Added some new faces, well none of the old ones work, just the new ones....

Brian Peppers is apparently a face now

Spoiler:




Cartman

Spoiler:




Chain Smoker gnome

Spoiler:




Weird French guy

Spoiler:




And finally

Jokercow

Spoiler:




Looks like they were just a test to see if they could compress textures, and send them in a patch if need be... from the dev

The character textures are not changing. We tested impact on patch size if we were to patch new character textures. It was a development experiment.

Obviously, we would not change it so gnomes had eyes looking into the back of their heads.

Just relax.

Still funny none the less

I won't be able to make it without my WoW!

I actually haven't played in about two weeks, too many other, newer games that have my attention right now.

I can't wait until the 3.0 patch and the Expansion though, that is going to be a blast.

My local gamestop isn't taking pre-orders yet for the C.E. I'm going to keep calling everyday until they do.

There were tons of BC CE's available last time. I wonder if quantities will be reduced.

I just pre-ordered a C.E. from ebgames.com to guarantee a copy. I'll probably pre-order one in store to pick up on midnight and sell the other one on ebay.

For the original release, the CE was extremely hard to find. For BC, there were tons and i'm pretty sure i've seen them at Fry's as recently as a few months ago.

I canceled my account the other day. Too many good games coming out and WoW takes up too much time. My guild was raiding in SWP, and it got old fast.

Maybe I'll go back ater Wrath launches and all the initial excitement has died down.

Need low level warlock strat:

So I have my voidwalker out..problem is..he can't hold aggro.

So what do I do when he loses aggro? Is there anything I can do other than sacrifice and run away?

I guess it all depends on where you live. I've never seen the C.E. of The Burning Crusade in a retail store, of course some people can find a Wii easily.

I suppose it depends on how low and where you have been putting your talent points. Regardless of your level, you will be facing aggro issues with your VW. The easiest thing to do is slow your dps. Yeah, it sucks to take longer to kill stuff, but you'll find if you use one less dot he might be able to hold aggro better.

As for specs, if you spec demonology (which at one point was said to be the best for leveling, I don't know if that is still true), Imp voidwalker will increase his ability to hold aggro.

If you need better options if you pull aggro, if you get Fel Concentration in the Affliction tree you can often cast drain life on whatever is attacking you without too much interruption. Your other option is to cast Fear on the mob and hope they don't aggro any more mobs. If it looks like they are going to be feared into another group of mobs you can cast Curse of Recklessness on them to stop them from running any further.

But really, if things start going badly you need to get used to sacrificing the VW and running.
