The World of Warcraft Cataclysm Thread.

[Dax]

So, I am thinking of coming back to WoW. I played years ago and then quit (I am talking right after they merged Battlenet accounts with WoW accounts to give you an idea how long it has been). However, I have some friends who are playing again so I thought I might dust off the old account and start fresh (new server, new character).

Does anyone know of somewhere with a really good deal for WoLK and Cata? I'm going to play a week or so before I buy them because I want to know if I think I am going to stay. I currently have the 10 day free trial for WoLK.

Any other advice out there? My friends have a Horde guild and an Alliance guild, though they play mostly Horde. I am thinking I want to be a caster since it would be a change of pace for me (I always play melee types it seems).

Shop around for them is the best I can offer...I know I saw Cata on CLEARANCE at Walmart about 4mo ago for 9.96..LOL...talk about ticked...I paid $39 for it...check Amazon..I know with the holidays coming, they will probably start bundling it again to get it to more ppl..

I agree about checking Walmart and Amazon for deals. Sometimes Blizz will have a lower price if you download it from their website.

If you want a caster I would recommend a Mage. Mine is specced Arcane and I routinely crit for 40k. Levelling is also easier as a Mage when you start getting portals at level 20.

So yesterday I lucked out on my new hunter main...I havent been very diligent with Brewfest this year, but on my 2nd day of trying on her, I got the Brewfest Kodo!!!

I was super excited!

Congrats!!!
My DH got it yesterday on his Horde Pally alt, and he got it on his first attempt. I would like to get it, but I already have so many mounts that I'm not going to worry too much about it. I did get the caster dps trinket on both my mage and my spriest.

If your goal is to only do things with your friends, I would make a Horde. Otherwise, I would roll both and try both their guilds out. Then which ever guild you like better, go with that as your main and the other as an alt. I know lots of people that play both sides.

This is exactly what I was going to suggest.

It looks like my DH and I will be taking a break from WoW in December. We just saw yesterday that SWtOR is coming out 12/20/11. I can't wait!!

Yeah we may as well also....I am SOOOOOO looking forward to playing it

Another mage vote...I also specced Arcane, and I LOVE it

Congrats! You are super lucky. I like how they have the lfg queue for this, so it makes it easier to keep trying. Remember what a pain it used to be w/ getting there? haha.

Overall, Brewfest is a lot easier this time around. I got the title in 2 days, lol.

My b/f is looking forward to this game very much. He wants me to switch over w/ him, but we shall see ...

 

[RichieTruxillo]

Yep I have SWTOR on pre-order as well. Know the feeling. I feel that WoW needs a new expansion pack to breathe new life back into it though.

I wonder how long it will take to get 47,000 honor kills....... without afking.

Probably a solid week of play

I finally hit 85 on my hpriest!

Now to grind rep and get gear... I need to get to ilvl 346 for heroic cata dungeons, right?

I really like queues for healers... very quick.

Anyone have any suggestions for a hpriest who wants to go into raiding?

My husband says "You should switch to discipline".

Oh wow sounds like I need to go and read up on SW:TOR. Sounds very interesting. How are the classes gonna be? Will jedi be healers? I wonder what the paladin equivalent is?

It looks amazing!! It would be easier for you to read about it on the website, so you can see for yourself the abilities of each class. My DH has "put his foot" down on playing Sith, so I'm most likely going to roll a Sith Inquisitor. They can wield a double-bladed lightsaber and have some really cool abilites. Since my DH "put his foot" down on playing Sith, I put mine down on getting the CEs.

I did just that! I'm thinking maybe Jedi Consular. I wonder if you can dual spec?

I haven't even looked at the Jedi options since my DH is set on Sith. I'm hoping that once we level our Sith toons, we can level some Jedi toons.

By far the best thing I've read all day thus far

Guild wants to go republic though I imagine I'll have to create an alternate guild for everyone's sith's alts cause ya know, from what I have heard from beta players the Sith storylines have a bit more action in them.

We have a guildie that has a beta key for SWtOR, but I haven't seen him on WoW much.

 

[Jabali]

I play WoW and have pre-ordred SWTOR.

WoW I have a 85 N. Elf Druid as my main.

For SW, I will probably go Bounty Hunter.

I'm one of those "wait and see" types when it comes to games. I'm interested in SWTOR but will wait a couple of months to see if it takes off and what people are saying about it. Also gives them a chance to work out any initial bugs.

I was a huge Blizzard/Warcraft fan before WoW. Played WC:Orcs and Humans, WC2, and WC3, both Diablo games, and Starcraft but still waited almost three months to buy WoW when it first came out

Does anyone else here watch The Guild? I was out of town all week and just saw the last episode of the latest season this morning. Funniest season so far. Loved all the cameos. It's going to be hard for season six to top it.

I love the Guild!! My Statistics class got me really behind on it though, so I'm going to have to catch up.

Is anyone watching BlizzCon? My DH was ready to finally totally leave WoW when SWtOR comes out. Then I showed him the trailer for The Mist of Pandaria x-pack and they sucked us both back in. I can't wait!! Also, I love the idea of being able to rename your companion pets. With 162 of them (hopefully I'll have more by xpack time), I'm going to have to come up with a lot of names. I think I'll go ahead and start a name list, so I'm ready when it comes out.

 

[Desiree]

Well I just canceled my WoW account a week ago. I just haven't really been feeling the desire to play. I feel like I was playing more out of obligation rather than enjoyment. I still have about 3 weeks left before it completely closes out but I don't know at this point if I'll start back up again. I may log in just to give away my gold though.

 

[Nayan]

Both my DH and I quit about an hour ago. The new 'happy panda' expansion is a joke. We're thinking of moving over to Rift.
