World of Warcraft players, report in!

I heard LordAuron (spelling?) one of the top heroes back in the day, and Tiger play WoW, but I haven't talked to them in forever.

You're wiping... during Phase 1? That happens? Phase 1 is easy pomegranate.. It's because of stupid people getting hit by Blistering Cold and the air phase bombs, right?

Realize it was only our first night of attempts on her in Heroic mode. Of course we're gonna be wiping in Phase 1 to get the kinks out. In fact, who doesn't wipe on first night attempts on a new heroic boss? @_@

I mean, not that it's odd to wipe on Sindy (I've wiped on her over 30 times all told), but I think it *is* odd to wipe during Phase 1. The only ways you can die are people Blistering Cold, the bombs during Air Phases, and people *really* pineappleing up Unchained Magic. Even on Heroic, I really don't think anyone should be dying there until Phase 2.

What actually happens in WoW when they change / adjust those things? Does everyone get free resets?

free resets of what? talents? glyphs?
If you're talking about resetting similar to maple, no we don't have to spend $300 to move around points and yes they do reset talent points if talents are changed enough.

the glyphs are becoming something permanent rather than something you have to keep switching out. So you buy a glyph once, and you can swap it in or out of your glyph slots.

From what people are saying in the beta, the glyphs that changed from Minor -> Major or Major -> Prime, they're updated to those glyphs, but your current ones are still in the same place they were at pre-update, but they do NOT function until you place them in the correct glyph ring.
An example would be my Muti glyph. Since my Mutilate glyph is a "Major" glyph and in cata it becomes a "Prime" glyph, come 4.0, it'll be as a "Prime" glyph in a "Major" glyph ring, but it won't work until I fix it and place it in a "Prime" glyph ring.

Sorry if it's confusing D:

Just got to 58 yesterday, outland is cool.

YAY FINALLY!!
25 man achieves yo

Gratz, bro! How many attempts did it take to finally pull it off? O_o

Ah, I was going to post a screenshot, but we didn't finish it.

We just did the hardmodes of every boss in Ulduar except Yogg, who we haven't beaten yet. It's pretty awesome considering I've never been there before. I especially had fun at Mimiron, in spite of a few wipes there. That button was so pushable~

3 attempts for neck deep in vile tonight. We've put in about 45 mins during 2 different nights the last 2 weeks. So we had a lil bit of practice

I hope you weren't doing "I've been waiting a long time for this" at the same time. Not that it's hard, it would have just been more annoying to sit through, and Neck-deep seems kind of hard.

FireFighter is so much freaking fun. Actually a lot of HMs in Ulduar are fun. Kinda wish they kept the "HM Trigger" mechanic...

Man it was great. Favorite fight by far. Yogg kinda sucked though. Some screenshots of what we did today...

 Spoiler

6 Wipes on Yogg. I don't like going inside.
Got all of Glory within a day. Great stuff. Mount is ugly though.


Right?


And then we did ToGC. One wipe on the twins ruined our chance at insanity. Don't be gay: avoid the balls.

I didn't take a screenshot of it, but one of the coolest things we did was the achievement where you kill Freya within 20 minutes of the first trash in her area. It was cool because more than half of us had never been to Ulduar at all, but we still did the hardmode and got the achievement totally on accident.

Zerging Anub like a boss!
Also I like going inside, but I hate the positioning portion to avoid the sanity loss skulls. It's annoying trying to be precise on some parts of it lol

More recent things

 Spoiler

New resolution go! This was easy, it was just for the weekly. I also won the mount with a roll of 100.


This is while we were doing "The Dedicated Few" achievement -- where you do all of Naxx with 8 or less people. I died while we were walking on some tube (I fell off) and had to walk back. I tried to run past the slimes again but they killed me. They were nowhere fucking near me! Jerks.


Spiders are dumb. And weak. Good for collecting Herald gear though.

We also did some more Ulduar, which didn't go nearly as well as last time. All well. Gonna start up on Freya again tomorrow.
