Make sure he isn't using questhelper addon.

My guild pretty much finished content 10 days in, not that it was hard.

Hoping for the new raid dungeon sooner than later, naxx is getting old already

What's the deal with that?

I didn't use QH until this add-on. I actually find it annoying, but I'm not sure if it is just that I haven't figured it out quite yet, or it is just a PITA.

And I guess I need to run Nexus a few time to get the Green hat for the Winter Veil accomplishment. This is turning out to be an annoying World Event because I didn't skill up my cooking (or fishing) but to make the "Hot Apple Cider" I need to get my cooking skill to 325.

And apparently I need a new computer. I've always had brutal frame rates in Shat/Dal or any city where it gets busy. Yesterday I was in a group that tried to raid Ogrimarr (the "For the Alliance" achievement) and it was like trying to play using a slide show.

Charge!
Follow the group
Enter the city
Notice things have gotten REALLY bad, check latency/Framrate. 178 (good)/ 4 (very bad)
Stay in middle of group
Stay in middle of group
Where did the group go, and why am I falling?
OK, so I rode off the cliff and now alone in the middle of Ogrimarr.
Cast Invis, get to a safe spot.
Try to figure out where the heck I'm supposed to go.
Make a run for it.
Mana Shield - Frost Nova - Blink - Nova - Mana shield - die
Start run back to corpse.
Note all people in raid chat asking why they can't see anyone else
Note all the cursing in raid chat that those people are on a phased quest chain
Note all the people not understanding why they still can't see anyone even though it has been explained many, many of times
Finally get back to body, find safe place to rez.
Try to figure out where the heck I'm supposed to go.

Mana Shield - Frost Nova - Blink - Nova - Mana shield - die

Wait a minute while realizing raid has fallen apart.
Teleport to Theramore.
Watch people quit raid as raid leader curses all the "Quitters"
Watch as the raid quit/add becomes 2/1, 3/1, 4/0
Leave the party.

I stepped in my first round of arena's last night, and I must say I'm not impressed.

We had a Warrior, Retadin, and my Druid. If I lived more than 3 secs, it was a freaking miracle. The burst DPS is stupid, no healer other than a pally can heal themselves through it. I mean, I have all the Overcast gear, and the hateful neck, and I still can't stay alive. Probably be different once I get more of the hateful PVP gear, but I don't know how I'm gonna get those ratings at this rate. Heals (other than pallys) are now useless in Arena.

They really need to do something about this. I mean I've got 1800 healing, and I can't do anything. Way to go Blizz, give everyone 5000 AP, but nerf the heals.

Arena at the moment = FAIL.

So who is full T7.5 now?

Bobblehead · 02-11-2009, 03:21 PM

I kind of got left behind of the end-game raiding, so I'm still in Northrend Heroics.

But I've gotten all the World event achievements so far, so I'm still on track to get the Violet proto-drake. I've been in Ice Crown for over a month, just not motivated to get those last 30 or so quests to finish off that final area quest achivement.

Bobblehead · 02-12-2009, 02:47 PM

What are the Valentines achievements?

I had a quick look last night, and did I see one that I need to get into Naxx to do?

I've never been in Naxx (although it should be the next step in my progression), so getting in there in the next few days could be tough.

Well I've got 4 piece but I only wear 2 piece cause the legs off Malygos 25 are better than T7.5 and I like this other chest I have better than the valorous chest and same for a helmet.

Basically 2 pieces away from having the best tanking gear in game (weapon off Kel'Thuzad 25 and a belt off Maexxna) for my class IMO.

Its getting a bit boring, easy raid content ftl.

I think MarchHare might be in my guild, there's a guy with that same name in my guild, lol.

My guild isn't really into 25-man raiding, and I like it that way.

We finished all the 10-man raids over a month ago, though (IIRC our first Malygos kill was on January 4th or 5th). There's only one more gear upgrade I can get from the current 10-man content, and most of the people I raid with are in a similar position. We mainly do raids now for achievements and fun, not for gear upgrades. This weekend I'm leading a Naxx10 run with eight people for "The Dedicated Few" (and hopefully "The Undying" also, but that might be wishful thinking).

I'll keep this spoiler-free, but have you completed the quest chain in Icecrown with Matthias Lehner yet? If not, you really owe it to yourself to finish -- those are the coolest quests Blizzard has ever made, IMO.

Doubtful -- my current WoW character has a different name (although a former toon that I've since retired was named Marchhare).

According to the Armory, there are 29 characters in WoW with that name:

You don't need to fight anything in Naxx for the achievement -- you just need to zone in and drop an item similar to a target dummy and then /pity it. I did it last night with three other people.

Note that you can't zone into Naxx unless you're in a raid group, but you can convert a party to a raid even if it only has two people in it.

That's good.

And yeah, I converted to raid a number of times when working on the Kara stuff months ago.

I have 4/5 of my t7.5.

After only 4.5 runs through Naxx25 too. Kinda nice being the only boomkin in the group.

Bobblehead · 02-12-2009, 05:31 PM

My main

Thor · 02-12-2009, 05:47 PM

My main, I stopped fulltime raiding 2 months ago, just go on 1 maybe 2 nights a week now. Just got so bored of naxx and really haven't found pvp fun anymore.

might be in my pvp gear, but here's me.

I was reading on Wowhead last night that one of the Achievement will probably be removed from the Love Fool requirement.

The Candy one was supposed to have a drop rate of about 20%, but it seems to be closer to 3%. I haven't seen any Candy drops, so that one will be tough to get.

FlamesAddiction · 02-13-2009, 11:50 AM

I personally stay away from those seasonal quests. The payoff is minor compared to the time it takes to complete them.

I have to say, I like the game, but some people take it way to seriously.

Raekwon · 02-13-2009, 03:59 PM

I think i'm doing alright for now.

And yes F%$# the seasonal quests, they just lag out the servers
