WOW thanks very much dngnb8. For epeen: what also does it stand for pls. Like what does e stand for and peen stand for literally?That one was tough.
so /wrist is you are telling someone they might as well slash their wrists?

what exactly does the c leave stand for?
Yes I knew that winter saber was a mount but is it a special cat you can only get when your guild get certain achievements?

Hasty hearth is very cool.
What is "paperdoll"? Is it the picture of you with all your gear on when you are in game?
Re: Baradin Hold-I haven't even gotten to Tol Barad yet is this a Cata zone?
WOW (no pun intended) I have much to learn. I'm going to watch that video now and read those notes. Thanks again VERY much.

Has anyone else tried Rift? and what did you think of it?
I heard or read somewhere that Blizz is making a brand new mmorpg? Anyone else hear of this?

Thanks.
Gina.
PS Hope to get to Disney next year sometime. Just went last May AND Dec. MAN was it cold in Dec!

All I can see is stuff about patch 4.1 and 4.2 nothing about 4.1.11. Maybe they removed it? Or is that video about the Zandalari and all that whole article fake? I haven't read any of the 4.1 just watched the Zandalari video.

Not board appropriate

Yes

what exactly does the c leave stand for?

Cleave is a special attack warrior class has. It hits numerous players in the front 180 degrees. So if youre behind them, you wont get caught in the cleave

Yes I knew that winter saber was a mount but is it a special cat you can only get when your guild get certain achievements?

I think it is a drop. That stuff doesnt trip my trigger. You will see what I call Mount Posers. They sit in front of the bank for attention. I dont farm rare drops. It is a waste of time if you ask me but other get their joy from Epeening that they have the mount and you dont.

Hasty hearth is very cool.

If youre in a guild, and they have leveled high enough, everyone gets it.

What is "paperdoll"? Is it the picture of you with all your gear on when you are in game?

Yes, it is your "C" key.

Re: Baradin Hold-I haven't even gotten to Tol Barad yet is this a Cata zone?

Yes. It is the PvP zone in Cata. Baradin Hold is like the instance in Wintergrasp. You have to control the zone through a pvp event that happens once every 2.5 hours to be able to run the raid.

Read on McDuff! The notes are below the video

 

[LuvSnowWhite]

okay. This is dumb but when you are saying "not board appropriate" do you mean that you cannot tell me what that stands for because on this bb it is too vulgar or a swear?

So is the video fake too?

I haven't tried Rift. The only othe mmorpg that I have tried is Aion.
I think your talking about Diablo 3. The last time I was in Game Stop, they said Blizzard is telling them it'll be out November 3. Then again, this is Blizzard we're talking about.

I hope you get to WDW next year. We're going in mid-November for our oldest DS's 15th bday. They don't know about the Disney part of the trip yet. They know we are planning a trip sometime next year to go see some Civil War battlegrounds and the Kennedy Space Center.

In epeen...basically in DIS terms..

E stands for electronic

Peen stands for a male body part..

So basically when you wield your big epeen...You are basically standing around saying mine is bigger and better than yours!

Ok...typing that made me LOL

Actually the Wintersaber Mount is done by a quest line in Winterspring..much like the horde raptor mount quest line in Un Goro..

 

[Dax]

Okay, here goes. I have read thru the entire post since my last entry and I have many questions (I am very noob). First I'll tell about my WOW experience.I only started playing WOW one month before cata. My main right now is a Nelf Hunter (how original I know) Level 71. I am finally in Northrend. I have only soloed because I started playing with my brother and SIL and as I said earlier they recently quit. I am left alone in Azeroth the only member of my guild (I don't even know the guild name). I want to find a good guild (thanks everyone for your kind invites) I dont have a dh to play with so I am a little chicken to PUG at all so I miss out on the dungeons.
Thanks in advance for all your help,
Gina.

OK, I used this feature last night...

When you want to search for a guild, the Guild button becomes a Search type button. When you click the guild button, it asks you a few questions, like your play time, play style..etc..The hit the button to FIND...you will then get a list...Scroll through, any that you find interesting, click apply, fill out a little blurb, and then wait...You can do this 10x...Eventually someone will get with you about getting into a guild..

I highly recommnd you PuG a bit...Its a lot of fun, can be rewarding, and helps you learn to play a bit better. Try it out...dont be afraid to be honest with people...I have found honesty goes much further than faking it..

 

[Big Cuddly Bear]

i tried Rift and I hated it... after 3 days I had had enough.

 

[LuvSnowWhite]

Thanks for answering all my questions. Even the epeen one LOL. I finally got it. Cuddly bear, what do you hate about Rift? That's what my SIL is playing now her and my brother left WOW for that.(Sad I know). So the joke stuff on patch 4.1.11 is everything below the table of contents right?

I am definitely changing Realms prob to Whisperwind as I think that is the one I couldn't remember that another person I know is in. Also a few people here seem to be in it also. I already have Vent so I might just need to configure it a bit to get the channel of whatever guild I get into.

I am happy now I will find a guild. I might play a bit tonight. I am trying to get my hunter to 85 so I can try a different one. I would like to make a Rogue. I use zygor guide it really helps. I will try and figure out what my i number of my gear is also.

Gina.

 

[LuvSnowWhite]

Please another clarification. I watched the Leroy Jenkins video. So I'm guessing that "Halfus" is an instance or BG and to Leroy it is either to wipe or cause a wipe????

Sooooo much to learn

 

[Gerberah]

Halfus is the first boss in the Cata raid Bastion of Twilight.

One of our guildies "leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeroy"'ed him, which means basically that you pull a boss before anyone is ready, nearly guarenteeing a wipe.

This can either amuse your group, or anger them, depending on the composition of the group. For us, we just laugh. Personally, I ran away, while I lifegripped our tank, trying to make it out of the raid before we died. Ironically, the only one that made it out alive was the one who Leroy'ed.

 

[Gerberah]

Oh, and it's also customary to yell into vent or type in /raid chat:

Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerooooooooooooooooooy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is to ensure that everyone is aware that it was done on purpose and so you can get credit for being the idiot that did it.

 

[dngnb8]

That's right. Now I remember. That was a faction mount. That faction is gone now so new players cannot get it.

I used to play Virtual Table Tob Dungeons and Dragons. We were in a dire situation with an airborne foe who was sniping up. My toon didnt have the required gear to hit the mob so I spider climbed out of the way. It looked like a wipe so I improvised a net out of rope, climbed across the roof and dropped down entangling the wings to ground it.

It was a suicide mission. The net improvised, my toon being a gnome (38 lbs) , this being a large creature (think airborne demon 300 lbs), and I made the role! 5% chance.

I grounded the beast and our tank hacked it to shreds.

Right before I did it, I played the sound clip from the Leroy Jenkins youtube. Everyone in vent went

Oooooh nooooo, what are you doing!

I ended up saving the party.

Gina.

BCBear and I are on Whisperwind (If I remember correctly)

Check our Brewhaus. Our guild age ranges from kids to 55 years old. We have adult females who are regulars, and we are a Hunter Friendly Guild. Guild leader is one of the best Hunters I have seen play.

If youre interested, when your toon transfers you can send a whisper to

Guild Leader
Varkos, Tiamah, Killianen, Pharaun

Me (#2)
Treznak, Foradin, Cayan

We will give you our vent info so you can get to no this sick bunch of puppies.

 

[LuvSnowWhite]

Some guilds are not "Hunter Friendly"? Is that bec some hunters don't use their pet the right way and pull aggro away from the tank in an instance situation?
If I went into an instance I would not have my pet or keep them on passive.
Then I would let the raid leader tell me who my dinosar (right now) can go rip to shreds while I pummel them with arrows or bullets

Some people call hunters "Huntards" for different reasons.

Partly because there are people who forget to take their pet off of aggressive. There are people who don't watch their pet, and their pet can break crowd control. There's also a "growl" ability that pets can have that will attempt to steal aggro from the tank that some people forget to turn off. Basically, hunters need to keep an eye on their pets and some of them don't do a very good job of it.

And something that was fixed in the latest patch, hunters used to have to be very careful because they have what I call "that rogue random shot" that will fire off automatically which can pull another whole mob even though the hunter didn't actually fire off a shot. But again, that was fixed in this patch and shouldn't happen anymore.

Personally, I love hunters. They have distracting shot, an awesome crowd control, and their pets bring buffs or special abilities (like the corehound has a bloodlust if a shaman or mage aren't available). And they can do some crazy dps!

Good hunters are a benefit, bad hunters.... well....
