The World of Warcraft Cataclysm Thread.

That one is killing us right now. We've got three people in our 10 man group that can't use the transporter in ICC without crashing. Lock summons haven't been working properly either; some party members register as invalid target for whatever reason. And forget about mage tables or health stones. Those can DC half the group.

Hopefully they get some of these things fixed quickly. The response time on tickets right now is insane, though, so I'm not expecting a whole lot.

Whats worse, is I am hearing this is also now affecting the HH event...I am gonna be ticked..I want my mount this year!!

I've noticed this as well. I usually farm on Facebook during long flights and when I click to go back to WoW I'm usually dc'ed.

Overall, I'm pleased with most changes. One thing that I'm not happy about though is the major mana suckage that my ret pally is dealing with. I have to drink or eat between just about every fight now in heroics.

My current main is a ret pally. I have not had that experience, but mine is only a level 74, so no heroics.... but that shouldn't matter too much as most things are scaled. I have other toons who have played in heroics, pre patch. But I AM surprised at the damage I am now taking. Non casters of equal level can actually almost get me down to half HP. OTOH, Art of War, followed by Hammer of Wrath is incredible. I can get 13K damage dealt in 2 seconds. For me, that's pretty darn good.

I guess the whole game is down... can't sign on, and can't even get on the Blizzard forums. I don't know if this is really true, but this feels like the worst it has ever been, post patch. Part of that may be my Kapersky Internet Security though. It REALLY hates WoW. To get any kind of update I have to turn it off during the update.

On another note, I have been trying to get those achievements by fishing the Dalaran fountain - the ones with all the coins. I have it all done except for the one gold coin - the coin of Arugal. I have had all of them done for about 2 weeks. Since then I have fished anout 3 hours for that stupid coin and still no luck. I bet I put 7 hours into this achievement, which is dumb, but I did level fishing to 450 doing it.

Anyway, in local chat I mentioned that I didn't have this coin yet, and the guy next to me says "If they weren't soulbound, I would give you one of the 4 I have right now."

This morning I went into a PvP area for a daily and my PvP would not turn off after the quest. I even checked that PvP was on disable. Anyway, I went farming thorium in the crater, and 2 different Horde kept killing me.

I had to log out to get PvP turned off.

I about fell out my chair when I did a crit for about 34k last night. I think I used Art of War followed by exorcism and then zealotry(?) and then HoW.

 

[Evi]

my only frustration is that I've logged on a few times after server reboot and been taken back in time. Having lost items quest etc. Not a major issue but a little aggravating.

Well I had a better WoW night than I have had in a while since the patch dropped...

- I was able to do a random heroic without locking up!!

- I was able to complete the Headless Horseman dungeon without locking up(got me a flying broom too)

- I figured out why I have been unable to complete some quests. Seems the addon Altaholic has been having issues. I had to uninstall it and remove all the refernece folders to it..Problems solved.

I was going to raid ICC 25 last night, from Blood Council on, but our guild had to pug a lot of the spots, and by 9:15, we still hadnt gotten started, so I bailed. Glad I did, DH was on, and they failed pretty epic on just the trash, so they went to ICC 10 instead..LOL..

I must say the new raid lockout system sucks. Confusion on a lot of peoples parts, and to what is locked, and what isnt. Tongiht is ICC 10..I am bringing my Boomkin, hoping to get enough Justice Points to get my T10 Legs!

LOL, Dax.... my wife looks at WoW and says "what a dumb game." But at least she doesn't give me a hard time for playing.

That is a good thing!!

We ran Headless Horseman a couple of times and hubby got the Sinister Squishling on the very first run! Meh, beginners luck there! Oh well!

A guildee got both the mount and the pumpkin in 1 run! Needless to say, no one is speaking to him..LOL

Anybody here know a great site for Holy Paladins?

 

[Dax]

HAd a great night last night...after a horrid 25man run on Tuesday, we went back in with the first bosses already down, and got all the way to Sindy. This was not the first time for the guild, but it was MY first time getting that far! I also was cleaning up on loot, as a TON of DPS Feral leather dropped and that is my off spec, so I got it all as the only leather person! Anytime anything dropped, they said, "Give it to Bunny, Im sure she needs it"..LOL

Tonight, we going back to down Sindy and attempt LK again...I cant wait!

 

[GoodFairies]

I'm pretty much done with the game until the xpac. I don't see much point to raiding anymore and apparently my guild doesn't either. They put raids on the calendar but I don't think anyone shows up.

So, is anyone going to Blizzcon tomorrow?

 

[Colleen27]

We're back to raiding though we're still having a lot of people with connection problems and that cog wheel bug makes getting started take forever. We had two people in group last night who ended up running all the way through ICC rather than using the transporter, because they kept locking up when they tried to use it. Still, we managed to clear to Sindy last night and get her to 13% on the best of our two attempts, so we should have her down early on Saturday and move on to LK. Hopefully we'll get him this week so we can resume 25s next week, because we're 10/12 25 and putting it on hold because of the combined lockout stinks!

 

[Big Cuddly Bear]

I did my 1st BG with my main tonight... Alterac Valley. I had NO IDEA what I was doing but still ended up about half on the damage charts. We lost, but that should be no surprise... there were 40 Horde and 13 Alliance.... how can that even happen? I thought that was why players from different realms made up groups... so that it was roughly even.

So, at least the last 2 -3 days have been crash free, though I did have an issue tonight where I couldn't move for about 30 seconds.

And today was a good day. I have a buddy who is almost all T10 tank... and he ran me through 3 randoms today in under an hour. I managed to win 4 nice blue plate drops.

I really should tank... every time I queue up with this guy, we get in randoms in under 2 minutes, and usually in under a minute.

I have been keeping up on my HH dailies..has anyone noticed the increase in ppl getting the mount drop..I have noticed a TON of them on my server...and at least 6-10 guildies have one...hoping I get lucky soon...

Didnt raid last night, just didnt feel up to it..Maybe tonight though.

I have noticed the mount dropping more and more. Of course, naturally, I haven't gotten it yet lol!

Had a decent WOW weekend! Followed the boring Blizzcon news, got my pally all specced out in Ret, got her a new t10 piece and updated her gear as needed. She is now ICC ready!

I also got a HH mount drop on my pally!!! It was a total moment, then a moment! I love it, and hope I can snag it on my lock and druid before the event is done. I have the title though on all of them!

Very cool! Congrats! I'm about 4 wand transformations away from the title. I've resorted to begging and it hasn't been pretty! lol Apparently no one on my server trick or treats!

I just need two more, but what's killing me is waiting on the tooth pick drop. It is supposed to be 11% drop rate from Trick or Treat bags, but I haven't had any luck with it so far.
