for you Blizzard just my two cents

I said this on the main article but I think it would be relevant to post it here, and trust I don't have a hate on for you Blizzard just my two cents:

I would have to say (reluctantly however) that this expansion isn't as much as I hoped it would be visually (with the exception of Vash'jir of course) and to a limited, extent playing-wise. Please don't get me wrong, it is a wonderfully enjoyable expansion in its own right! It just seems, however, that alot of the content is just reused/revamped from previous expansions a little too much. This saddens me as I love the artwork you all do over there at Blizzard, as I'm a sucker for originality. While I did enjoy the re-done Deadmines and SFK, I have yet to experience the "new" troll dungeons for myself (I'm sure they are well done though).

Furthermore, I really couldn't euwowgold.com begin to imagine what it must be like from a designer standpoint, but I personally would rather wait a little longer for content that has a little more heart rather than reused/saved polygons and animations. Since you're most likely deep into the planning stage for the next expansion, I'm quite okay with what you've done thus far with Cata and sympathise, you guys are probably all really exhausted. With all of this going on it leads me to believe that you certainly do have something quite large for us on the horizon post-Cataclysm, and I gotta say, I'm rather intrigued. Please live up to my expectations. I know I'm just one person and my opinion probably isn't that much in the whole spectrum...but it does mean alot to me. Thanks.

for pulling two groups just because he can

Daxx, what can we the community do to make things easier on each other? I've been somewhat reluctant to ask this, however, at this point I think it does need to be asked.

I only bring this up because the feeling of being a hero is not exactly there as often as it has been in the past. Saying hi and working with others in dungeons that we might never see again and may have people do very improper things, like a gnome rogue I had a while back get free wow gold votekicked for pulling two groups just because he can.

What can we as individuals do to better the community? Being nice only seems to go so far. I will also state that I have been polite, as well as nice; still can't get people to be kind. I do know free will is involved as well.

just put them on ignore and move on

For me it really isn't. I actually enjoy trying to clear content (obviously haven't but the attempts have been fun) and trying to get achievements. Is it nice when there are tons of cool people in my guild on and we're running? Of course. Does it suck when someone is being a complete jerk for no reason? Yes, I just put them on ignore and move on.

I see threads on this best wow gold community issue quite a bit and how it's changed through the years. I have been playing off and on since Vanilla and I can very clearly remember the Barrens it was not the joint community that some people like to remember. I also remember trying to get PUG groups together (particularly as someone who was several months behind in content). Unless you were running something that was relevant it was nearly impossible. As a matter of fact it was pretty much why I stopped playing over and over because my options were to be carried or be out of content and I absolutely hated to be going through a dungeon that everyone else knew and would just breeze through while it went by in a big rush and I never learned anything.

I dare say the community is not better or worse but we are being more exposed to each other in more difficult situations than ever before.

Blood DKs get outbreak. Fully talented

Blood DKs get outbreak. Fully talented, that means 32 seconds of debuff uptime. They are then required to use IT & PS to put up debuffs (or are forced to get the debuffs from another source). To use IT or PS means losing a rune that could have gone to DS. It also means a longer amount of downtime before the next DS. This means the DK must chose between losing all DS healing and mastery mitigation for a rune cycle while they apply debuffs. At the same time, the 32 seconds means the DK has .5 seconds of overlap or they have debuff downtime.

What is being done to bring DK debuffs best wow gold inline with other tanks?

learning anything besides press damage button x

As no doubt many people have already said, the main problem I see at the moment with leveling is how little it teaches you of how to actually play. Besides that one quest at level 6 or something which makes you use a whole 1 ability of whatever class you are, there's literally nothing. It's just too easy to faceroll your way to 80-85 without learning anything besides press damage button x, and y if you're fortunate.

While I don't believe dungeons/quests while leveling should be unnecessarily tedious/difficult/annoying, I cheap Wow Gold eu still think something desperately needs to be done to 'train' newer players how to play in some way.

For example, I was in Lost City today on my mage.. 130k hp paladin tank, didn't use HotR a single time on trash until the 5th pull, after I'd told him about 100x to kindly use it. Naturally, aggro was utterly woeful, and he was getting insulted left right and center by all members of the party bar me - I spent most of the run attempting to get them to give him a break.

What I'm trying to say is that I hardly blame him. Not everyone picks things up in a flash. Being (not forced) but... prodded towards having to learn to play to a slightly higher level would benefit all, in my opinion..

Frost does comparable DPS today

This is one of those interesting phenomena you observe when you do game design. According to our testing, Frost does comparable DPS today, and remains competitive in Heroic Firelands gear. Yet, Frost is much less popular than Fire or Arcane in the current raiding environment. Some of that could be tradition. Some of that could be that the DPS is close enough that players pick whichever mage rotation they enjoy the most. It’s also possible that some aspect of our testing doesn’t catch some factor that ends up suppressing Frost damage in the “real world” compared to cheap wow gold our internal servers. That certainly happens sometimes.

It’s hard to just look at logs and get an accurate picture of the mage DPS situation. When the best mages in the world are playing Fire and Arcane, it’s natural to expect that there are a lot of huge DPS averages for Fire and Arcane mages. That might not mean that Frost damage is low, only that the best players aren’t playing Frost. We see this sort of thing over and over again. As we mentioned recently, you can see Unholy DPS drop in 4.1 not because Unholy’s DPS was nerfed, but because so many good DKs switched from Unholy to Frost. While it’s ideal that all DPS specs are viable in all aspects of the game, and that remains our goal, it’s a lofty goal. Frost remains the mage spec of choice in PvP, which is a better situation than if it were just a dead spec.

the fights are super healing intensive

firelands is indeed quite difficult. mostly because the fights are super healing intensive.

the unfortunate part is that the fights are so healing dependent that if you have all-star healers you can clear out the content with sub-par DPS.

the flipside of that is, if you have subpar healers but all-star dps, you won't down the content because your healers can't keep up.

It's worse in 25man, because the fights aren't really tuned properly. there's tonnes of 10man guilds on my server that are 6/7 normal mode, mainly? 10man is a lot easier than 25man. a good example was using tier11 as a comparison.

our 25man guild was 7/12 heroic, but euwowgold.com the same 10man was only 4/12 heroic. no roster changes between tiers, the difficulty of the raids changed though.

now our guild is 3/7 25man and the same 10man guild is 6/7 10man.

this in itself causes great disparity, because now not only do 10mans get the same gear that you can get in a 25man, they also come by it(MUCH) easier. in 10man you can just flat out ignore mechanics and still down content, in 25man if you even ignore one simple thing you get screwed.

I'll use bethtilac as an example, in 10man it doesn't matter if the drones get healed by spiderlings because they die a lot faster. it doesn't matter if bethtilac eats spiderlings during the transition because she doesn't do enough damage to kill your raid even if she gets all the way to 100% you can still burn through her with relative ease.

not exactly fair. firelands in general to me is a joke, it's hilariously overtuned in 25, and yeah you probably do require good heroic gear. our raid dps is close to 20k and we have 6 pretty decent healers and 2 very solid tanks. but baeleroc will not die, there's just too much damage going out. if you're paragon it's easy, but if you're run of the mill average guild? have fun.

you obviously have the technology to renovate models

this has annoyed me for a while-euwowgold.com and with firelands out now i cant keep quiet anymore- blizzard, how dare you- you give thrall a model that is standing up right but keep other orcs slumped over? what the heck? i want my orcs to stand tall, and proud! if you can give thrall a tall-standing model than i want my orc characters to be proud of who they are too!

at least that would be nice since we are paying you for this game each month- and you obviously have the technology to renovate models.
