Old Republic

While I am sure a vast majority of us have moved on, I was curious if anyone was looking into Star Wars: The Old Republic? Should be out this December, and I was planning on purchasing it day one. I'll post my server and character info here at the time, but was just seeing if anyone else from the guild had planned on looking into it

/squishes!!

I miss you guys. :)

progress

Okay, so we didn't down any new bosses, but that was a much better look at Magmaw tonight. Rawr!
Thanks guys! :)

Omnitron Defense System

Since we all seemed to agree that this was a really fun fight to try (no worms!) I thought I'd grab us some vids so we can do even better next time. :)

Tankspot's guide (25 man, but well-explained by the chick with the accent) Healer's viewpoint

Yogscast's version - Melee viewpoint, also well-explained. Some good hints here!

One more good one. Holy priest viewpoint. Less explanation/walk-through-like but the call outs were nice - like the communication here.

(For those of you who weren't there last night, this is also me saying come & play! This fight is so much fun. :) Oh, so is Baradin Hold. Easily downable = gear for us!! Craig already shared a video for that fight.)

player(s) down

Hey peoples! 
I'm coming to you all from Vern's blackberry to let you know that our internet is down until Friday. So... there's no Groshen, Varibaine or myself until then. :( 
I had signed up to raid Wednesday but it looks like that's not going to be possible. Sorry! We can use the blackberry to get the laptop online, but not I'm not sure how playable it will be. I'm sure we'll try it some, but yeah. I really hope people check in here a little, but just in case when I have my keys with me I'll hop on with the laptop/blackberry combo to make sure you know where we disappeared to.
'til Friday!
April

Argaloth

As far as raiding goes it is tough to start out. While we gather epics and what not I figured this was a viable boss for our raid nights when it is available.

Whoever controls the Hold - by taking and holding the three major fortifications around it - controls Tol Barad, and gains access to the raid instance located in the dungeon beneath the hold. Argaloth drops Tier 11 gloves and leggings and looks like it would be a much simpler fight for our melee. Just throwing this out there for a possibility of Sunday.

made me laugh

So I had a funny thought that I figured I'd share. I remembered that the first time I ever heard Firework was when Katy performed at the VS fashion show (my fave!)  Maybe some half naked women will help sell the other guys on the idea of Katy on vent? lol :)



Okay, I'm not too sure about this third one, but the title made me laugh - so this is for you guys who can't handle the pop stuff. :)

lol
Vern saw me watching the Victoria's Secret Firework performance, laughed and said he knew where that was going...
Oh yeah! :)

 /squishes!

4.0.6 hotfixes

Here you'll find a list of hotfixes that address various issues related to the recently released World of Warcraft: Cataclysm patch 4.0.6. Hotfixes are updates we make on our end without requiring you to download a new patch. Some of the hotfixes below will go live the moment they are implemented, while others may require your realm to be restarted to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. We will continue to update this thread in the days ahead as additional hotfixes are applied. Visit our Bug Report forum for a list of 4.0.6 known issues.

You can find the complete list of hotfixes for the previously released patch 4.0.3 here.



February 22


* Classes


o Hunters


+ Aimed Shot damage has been decreased to approximately 160% weapon damage (at level 80+), down from 200%.

+ Aspect of the Hawk now provides 2000 attack power at level 85.

* Dungeons & Raids


o Throne of the Four Winds


+ The Catch Fall aura is now removed whenever a player leaves the dungeon.



February 19


* Classes


o Hunters


+ The changes to Aimed Shot and Aspect of the Hawk announced yesterday have not yet been applied to live realms and should not go into effect until after the holiday weekend.



February 18


* Battlegrounds


o Demolishers were respawning too quickly in Strand of the Ancients. They are now on a 20-second spawn timer.




* Classes


o Death Knights


+ Death knight Ghouls under the effects of Dark Transformation can no longer cast Gnaw while it's on cooldown.




o Hunters


+ Aimed Shot damage has been decreased to approximately 160% weapon damage (at level 80+), down from 200%.

+ Aspect of the Hawk now provides around an additional 2000 attack power at level 85.




o Paladins


+ Light of Dawn no longer heals targets outside the paladin's party or raid. It correctly heals up to 5 targets in the paladin's raid.




o Priests


+ Body and Soul no longer reduces the mana cost of Power Word: Shield (the hotfix made on February 16 to provide this additional benefit has been reverted).

+ Rapture now returns 2/5/7% of maximum mana when Power Word: Shield is consumed, up from 2/4/6%.




o Warlocks


+ Instant-cast Shadowbolts from Shadow Trance (both the talent and Glyph of Corruption versions) should no longer consume charges of Backdraft if both procs are available. Shadow Trance will always take priority and be consumed first when Backdraft is active. Subsequent Shadowbolts will consume Backdraft stacks.




o Warriors


+ Two-Handed Weapon Specialization (Arms passive) now gives 20% bonus damage with two-handed weapons, up from 10%.







* Dungeon Finder


o If a party member remains outside of a dungeon for more than 3 minutes, they become eligible for removal, regardless of other Vote Kick restrictions.

o When players queue as a group with a tank or a healer, and the tank or healer drops group (or is kicked) within the first 5 minutes, all of the other players who queued with them are removed from the group as well.

o If there is a group of 3 or more friends and someone in that group initiates a Vote Kick of a random party member, it now requires 4 votes to kick the player, instead of the standard 3 votes.

o The penalty for using the Vote Kick feature too often is not issued to a player who kicks someone with whom they queued for a dungeon (i.e. the party member being selected for removal is not a player randomly selected via the Dungeon Finder).

o The penalty for using the Vote Kick feature too often will be issued much more quickly to players who join as a party of 4 and kick the randomly selected 5th player.

o The penalty for using the Vote Kick feature too often will now not allow the player to initiate a Vote Kick for 2 hours, up from 45 minutes.

o These changes will require realm restarts to take effect. More information can be found here.




* Dungeons & Raids


o When switching a normal raid dungeon over to Heroic difficulty, players were instantly becoming saved without warning. There is now a warning dialog box which will appear before the difficulty is changed.

MARGARITAVILLE

Have one tonight in honor of National Margarita Day! :)

Your friendly neighborhood rogue.

please help

Ok, so I'm slow on getting people's e-mail addresses to get this thing going. I invited Canc just now (I think) and can add Vern too. Please help me add people if you know their addresses. It's under settings, then permissions.  Lore & Hy - you two have admin status and can for sure add people and sidebar content etc. Not sure if an author can add people or not. But yeah. I'd like for us to have a place to talk and stuff, but I'm chicken to pester people for their info.

I love you guys! Help me out please. :p

ok go

Ok, so I've sat on this thing for awhile now and really don't remember what amazing ideas I had to make it awesome. :p

All I know is that Cancerous was asking if we have some out of game way to talk to eachother and we've always said we should have a website so yeah. I have no clue how to do a website, but a blog I can totally do! So there. 

Here we go. :) 

Rawr. 

Now please, if you wanna, come out of game and talk about in game stuff. Or about midgets. Whataver  you want. You can use this as a place to say I won't be around next week,  here's a cool website to check out, hey - I'm alive - my game is just down atm, or look at this awesome thing I found on youtube. Create an entry! Show me a picture! Whatever you want. :)

Or if someone can do a website that's cool. I figured this would at least be something for now. :)

testing testing une deux trois

Just wanted to see how this little project is looking. Kind of boring so far, but I'm sure we'll get it all awesome. :)  I got rid of the blogger "about me" stuff on the sidebar since this won't be my blog, but ours, so I'll try to find a pic instead.

There you go. That be me. :)


Oh oh oh, and raise your hand if you're geared and ready for some cataclysm raiding! *raises hand*
