By that, do you mean opening your PvP window (“H”) and writing down the number of Honor Points that appears at the top? That would be accurate. Anything else might not be.
No, Hon. I open the “currency” window, which BTW no longer shows how much money Wolkie has. For that, I have to click on the first bag.
I’ll try the “H” thing, which is what I think Oakie’s referring to as well.
Thanks
Q
The currency on your tab will also show your Honor Points. The nice thing about the Honor/PvP window is that the only number it shows, up at the top, is your Honor Points.
So has anybody run across any of these elemental rifts? I came across no fewer than three of them in Westfall last night on my lowbie warrior, all spewing fire elementals. Those elementals must broadcast threat like crazy, because one of them spawned near murlocs and another spawned near gnolls and various hostile animals, and all of those mobs completely ignored me in favor of attacking the elementals.
At least I assume Blizz is accomplishing that effect via boosted threat generation - seems it would be easier to program these new mobs to generate massive threat rather than script all the normally-present mobs to react to them. After all, “red” mobs don’t normally attack each other (except in specific instances where they’re programmed to do so, like the magnataurs that attack the mammoths in Dragonblight).
And it serves the lore purpose of showing that even the animals and “hostile” monsters out there know something “wrong” is happening.
It was kind of amusing to be fighting alongside murlocs and gnolls against a common enemy 
Elemental Rifts? Aren’t there some floating around in Zu’l whatever? Drak, Rack or Crack?
In Northrend, I mean?
Thanks
Q
Okay, I tried to make a screenshot for y’all of the message I just got from Blizz, but in essence it says they’re aware of the problem and are working on finding a solution.
Thanks

Yep. There’s a Feat of Strengthfor killing one of each kind of Elemental Rift during this event. You’ll find rifts pretty much everywhere, but you can only loot the Mysterious Device left behind when a rift dies if you’re at an appropriate level. (Frex, my 80 can only loot it in Northrend, etc)
The device gives you a daily quest which yields a nice bit of gold/XP.

SFG – yeah, we were being too fast to dispel before the plague could jump to shamblers so we ended up with them alive almost through the transition. Was thinking we might try juggling to get more stacks. But we’ll see.

Welcome, MrDibble! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
I wandered around Northrend for a while after reading this and never caught a rift. So I gave up and went back to the Plaguelands to grind Argent Dawn rep. Boom, an Air rift in East and an Earth rift in West. Go figure.
Good news and it might be related to an issue I reported last night, I have lost some of my Champions Seals. Only a couple but it meant I was 2 short of getting the heirloom staff for my upcoming Worgen mage, oh well I’ll pick it up tonight.
See???!!!
And y’all thought it’s because I’m batshit! (Although I am, most of the time!)
I really do appreciate y’all’s help, but please don’t think I ask you questions frivously, or just bein cute.
Sometimes (at that time exactly) I may ask something you’ve answered before or may be very obvious.
I hope you’ll overlook it and thank you!
Q
I got Tripping the Rift last night, after camping Thrallmar, Swamp Rat Post, Stonebreaker Hold and Garadar. On my server (Garrosh), the rifts appear to respawn at about 23 minutes after the hour. I was able to finish one rift, fly to the next town, and finish another rift within the 10 minute duration, so I did Thrallmar and Swamp Rat, then flew to Stonebreaker and waited there for an hour (not entirely spent in-game…I parked my toon and went out and did other things, but came back at about 20 after) until that rift formed, closed it and flew to Garadar, where I got the Feat of Strength.
So a level-80 toon should just be looking in Northrend for the rifts (to get the drops), is that correct? I’ll have to look around next time I’m online.
On another note, related to my sudden embracing of PvP, I had fun with a new technique in WG yesterday. It was early in the battle, we were attacking, and a bunch of us were taking out the cannons on the fortress walls. There were Allies up there who would cast ranged attacks from relative safety. I suddenly remembered Mind Control, which I haven’t used in a long time, MC’d the enemy and made them jump down to us (and get pummelled). I did that at least three times, and it was always funny 
Yes, if you want to get the daily from the Mysterious Device that the rift leaves behind, you have to close a rift in a level-appropriate zone. You can get the buffs (and therefore the FoS) from any rift, though, Outland, Northrend, Kalimdor or EK.
Heh, your post helped me because at first I thought bad memory but then remembered your issue and it made me think. So I took a screenshot of my Currency tab on Tuesday night then checked it last night and lo and behold 2 missing.
Actually, I’d say it’s the opposite. It wouldn’t matter how much threat they were generating if they wouldn’t aggro each other in the first place. I’d think it would be very easy to set them up with some sort of flag that would cause other mobs to attack them.
Probably! They’re all over the place. (And I vote for Zul’Smack. :D)
Yay! Good luck getting it fixed.
Yeah, if there’s no plague up, then DPS has to switch to the Shamblings during the transition phase and burn them down, too. Not sure what you mean by “juggling.” Really, you just want your add tank to be picking up Shamblings, plus extra ghouls to keep the stacks rolling, and everyone else should be running straight behind a Shambling to get dispelled as soon as they get the disease.
Can’t it be both?
Ayup!
You can also use this trick in to throw people off of cliffs. My pocket healer has a video he made back in TBC of one of his Priests doing it. I can’t be sure from work, but I think this might be it–and it should be uploaded somewhere by that same user if it’s not that exact video.
I remember when I did some PvP back in the day, tossing people off the Lumber Mill in AB or trying to toss them over the edge in EotS (not sure if that ever worked). You have to be lucky for the enemy not to break out of it right away with a trink or whatever.
My druid does that with his Typhoon spell. Great fun. On my first time in EotS with him, I caught three hordies near the flag, conveniently close together and near the edge. POOF! and over the edge with them! Then snagged the flag and capped same for the “Storm Capper” achievement.
That’s why I hate Druids! (who are not on my team)
My huntard does this to himself all the time with Disengage.
“Haha, my warriorish friend, you think you can close on and melee me to death! But wingclip…DISENGAGE…oh, hey, the cliff edge. Bye bye, my adversary, enjoy your rofl as I plummet to my death..”
Just fear them first. They’ll use the trinket to break the fear, and then you can MC. (SPriests get a fear, right?)
I did that in Thousand Needles once. :smack: My favorite part is how the fall is *just *long enough for you to reach the level of contemplation necessary to truly appreciate what a stupid thing you just did.
I *did *run into a very foolish Hunter in AB last night, though, who decided it would be a good idea to Disengage away from the *Prot *Warrior. Giving me the opportunity to Charge, which means (a) stun for him and (b) Rage for me.
