Which reminds me of a joke:
What is small, green and annoying?
A gnome dyed green.
My rogue is now level 80 and is wearing a random assortment of gear ranging from quest greens(trinkets) to ToC25 boes and craftables, and a Wrathful Gladiator neck(which is very good when you’re freshly dinged).
I’m on 17/3/51
Go 15/3/53. Switch out glyph revenge for cleave. That’s what I’d do for heroics.
There’s something that’s bugging me. On the right hand side of the screen just under the minimap it says “objectives” and then under that it lists all current quests. How do I get rid of it?
Can’t find anything in the interface and I don’t think it can be an add on - I’ve only got recount and cartographer. I think I had it once before and I managed to get rid of it but can’t remember how I did it.
Turn off automatic quest tracking in the interface options and then stop tracking any quests you currently are tracking by shift-click on them in your quest log.
Yes! it worked, thank you. Been bugging me for days that.
sigh I updated my iPhone to iOS 4 yesterday. I backed up my iphone first, and dutifully copied my serial number from my mobile authenticator app down. I just stupidly forgot to de-authorize it. Anyways, somehow, iTunes got it into it’s head to re-backup the iphone AFTER I upgraded it, and in doing so completely erased the backup I had (i’m still not sure why it did that, but under preferences->devices the backup list does not show the backup at all). Needless to say, without the backup OR the de-authorization of my authenticator, I can’t now get into the game. And to add insult to injury, the customer support line is so busy that their HOLD queue is full. facepalm
I wanna log in and get my frosties dammit!
Ah, gotcha. My gear is better than the other tank’s but not by much. I think his greater experience and skill would make up for the gear discrepancy.
Well, RS is no pushover, but it’s not particularly hard once you get the mechanics down. We wiped more on the first 3 trash pulls than we did on Halion 
Normal or heroic?
Normal. We might give heroic a shot next week.
i’ll give it a try tonight
I did Oh Noes, the Tadpoles! for the first time last night. Dammit they are cute why can’t we have a baby murloc as a pet? Looking at wowhead comments for this quest Oh Noes, the Tadpoles! - Quest - World of Warcraft it seems I’m not the only one that thinks this way, Blizzard you have a money printing opportunity get these pets in the store now!
There actually IS a baby murloc pet but you have to have been at Blizzcon two years ago, I think, to have gotten the code. Have you ever noticed the guy at the fishing trainer dock in Orgrimmar or in the cavern thingy in Ironforge that has the baby murloc beside him? He’s the guy who does the hand-in for the code. You MIGHT be able to find someone selling a code they didn’t use, but don’t count on it.
I was hoping to try Ruby Sanctum this week, but I’m leaving on vacation this afternoon so it will be about two weeks old by the time I get to try it out – and I’ll be the new guy not knowing what to do. Oh well, there’s still plenty of time before Cata comes out.
The BDL (four of us at least, plus a DK pug) tackled Magister’s Terrace last night. As expected, it was difficult - but fun. There are a lot of big pulls but I think we only wiped on trash once at the beginning of the instance. We took down the first two bosses without any problems at all.
The third boss has those PvP folks with her (like the FC fight in ToC10/25) which caused us to wipe several times. I think she had the lock, shaman, hunter, and engineer(?) with her. Anyway, with all the pets and totems flying around it was pretty crazy but eventually we got them all down (barely) on our fourth attempt – and that includes two accidental pulls when we were clearing the room.
We made it all the way to Kael’thas but by that time it was getting late, so we only had time for three attempts. We made it to phase 2 but the pheonixes were giving us nightmares and we couldn’t get further. So we have two weeks to plan our revenge and try again on July 14.
Don’t worry. I’m the new guy not knowing what to do in virtually ALL heroics. It’s not too bad, unless you get a load of idiots in your PUG. Will try a new method from now on. When entering an heroic, I will first ask in the guild channel if anyone is interested in a random. I’m sure someone will be happy to have a tank ready from the get go.
A fitting day to set out to kill a prince, really. I was going to ask if the BDL could re-do Magister’s anyway, since that’s the one I really wanted to check out.
Sigh. Had to PUG a number of folks, and spent the night wiping on 25-man RS. Without fail, we’d get to 50%, and our tank in the shadow realm would be kissing floor. (So predictably that we actually used three tanks, with a backup tank in the shadow realm… so we’d make it a bit further into ph3 and then he’d die.) Honestly, I think we were just light on heals–I think we only have two or three mainspec healers left raiding full-time, which meant we were filling the gaps with PUGs and people’s offspecs. If it weren’t for the tank deaths, I’m pretty sure we’d have had it–even with bossmods not working yet, people were pretty good about running out to drop their debuffs and staying out of the Cutters. Best attempts were probably ending somewhere in the low 30s or upper 20s, percent-wise.
Damn, can’t check it from work, unfortunately. But **Palooka **probably gave good advice.
Besides disabling automatic tracking completely, I believe there’s also a button to toggle showing the quest objectives–IIRC, it’s a red button with a triangle (pointing up or down to collapse or expand) that’s right on the underside of your minimap, above the objectives list itself.
And people wonder why I refuse to get an Authenticator until I can tie at least two to my account at the same time.
If I recall correctly, there are currently four types of baby Murloc pets in the game, not including the baby Oracle you can get from the Dalaran Children’s Week questline.
1.) They were given as a pet at Blizzcon several years ago. The pet is named Gurky, and you can still find some unused codes on eBay… for obscene prices. (Think: hundreds of dollars. Probably $500+.) This is the one you can see in the cavern in IF.
2.) They were given to some European accounts a number of years back, IIRC, to make up for some really bad downtime or bugs or something like that. That pet is called Lurky. AFAIK, he’s just a Murky recolor.
3.) For the past two years, the Arena Tournament has given a baby Murloc dressed in armor and holding a spear as a reward for participating. He’s called Murkimus.
4.) Last year’s Blizzcon had a baby Murloc dressed in Starcraft Marine armor as a pet code in your goodie bag–or you could also get one by subscribing to the online or cable streaming feeds. This one is Grunty. He’s also your best option for getting one now–codes are up on eBay and probably run $40-$100.
Thanks for the baby Murloc details, Grunty is available on UK eBay but he is way too much money for a wow pet.
Probably.
I am right in thinking that a pet’s only use is the “Squeeee” factor?
