World of Warcraft General Discussion

That is hilarious!

I’ve always wanted one of those. I really wish there were more droppable Alli style mounts. AFAIK, the only ones are the tiger mount in ZG and the Brewfest Ram, compated to horde which has undead horses from 3 places, the raptor in ZG, the Brewfest kodo, and the chicken in MgT.

Going in the opposite direction, my pally’s main mount is her black war kodo.

While I don’t think the Cenarion Expo hippogryph exactly replicates the Ally griffin, it’s a pretty alliance-style mount.

That sounds like the way we do it. Dependingon the run, it could be DKP, master loot, pass and jabber, depending. But, you still have to make pleasing offerings to the loot gods too.

I need to use my alts since it’s Midsummer. That bonus XP you get for dancing around the pole would help both of them a lot since they’re still fairly low-level.

I don’t wait. I just jump in. Quite often, I get spanked, and most of the time it’s people I know. I defend Orgrimmar from my Alliance guildies, and I defend Iroforge or Stormwind from my Horde guildies. Then we laugh about it. It’s all in fun.

You want to level up cooking. I have one cook Alliance side and one cook Horde side. It’s just a practical thing to have. You get meat off the beasts you will be killing anywy, and the food will heal you, restore mana, or give you buffs. Some of my toons lived off warpbugers (nice buff) and blackened basilisk (another nice buff) all throu the level 70-80. Different foods do different things. It’s worth getting. Even if you never max out to 450.

Man, did I get screwed last night by Blizzard. They were hotfixing the Midsummer event last night, so when I turned in the last 2 tokens from the major cities I didn’t get the followup quest :frowning:
A guildie did the same about 15 minutes later and it worked for him. It was shortly after the no quest, that some of the fires that I did last year became active again. So it was during that time that the hotfix occurred.
I guess I have to redo the city runs which really sucks because now that people are finishing the events they are camping the fires :frowning: Still not sure which 2 I need to redo though which means I will have to redo all 4. Really sucks due to my bad timing.

I’m already getting tired of the event, solely because of the FWOOSH. After getting FWOOSHED constantly while running around Durotar, it’s begun to grate on me.

Oh, yes. I am also heartily tired of loping somewhere on my nightsaber, when the FWOOSH suddenly occurs and my nelf waves her arms like a madwoman. It was very funny the first couple of times, but not anymore.

What’s funny about that is that I somehow ended up turning in “A Thief’s Reward” again and getting a second halo. I have no idea HOW it happened, since I hadn’t gone through and stolen the fires again, but I clicked on the Loremaster in Ironforge because he had the quest mark over him again, and it said, in the turn-in section of the dialogue: “A Thief’s Reward”. I just thought…didn’t I do this already? and clicked on it, and got the crown again. Weird. Too bad it’s BoP.

Dragon Kill Points. It is a form of guild currency that you accumulate during raids 9and sometimes other stuff and you use for raid drops (and sometimes other stuff).

It provides an objective method of equitably distributing raid loot.

Yes, the Tundra Traveler’s Mammoth (I think it’s called) benefits from Kirin Tor rep discounts (20% at exalted, which drops it to a “mere” 16k gold).

That’s why I agreed that people who park their mounts, flying or otherwise, directly on top of NPCs are rude. But you seemed to be objecting to *anyone *who didn’t dismount to turn their quest in–not just people who were completely on top of the NPC.

You realize that your HP and Mana/Rage/Energy/Runic Power are always on the *inside *and your target’s are always on the outside, right? Personally, I never have a problem telling which is which.

You can *definitely *see mobs that are close to your corpse before you rez; are you sure you can’t see ones by the Spirit Healer, too?

Since when are there three Undead mounts available to the Alliance? The only one I know of is the drop off of Rivendare in Strat.

Bosstone: It may help to make your bars thicker, too. I just looked at your collage, and you have your bars set to be a lot more narrow than I have mine.

The Death Knight mount? (And the Warlock one, maybe? Haven’t looked at it too closely.) Not exactly available to everyone, but…

I do realize that, but I still prefer to have my info in one area and the target’s in another area.

Not the Warlock one, but if the Death Knight ground mount and flyer count as two, then that’s three. Plus if you’re REALLY good at PvP, you could have gotten the Frostwyrm mount (that thing is gorgeous–there are only two of them on our server and one was owed by a guildie of mine who subsequently quit the game and sold his account–such as waste!)

I haven’t tried this yet, but has anyone used The Fire Extinguisher for putting out the fires in the cities?

Nope, I was specifically referring to large flyers, (or any exceptionally large mount, like a mammoth) which is why in this post I said, “If you’re on a flying dragon mount, it’s impossible to get close enough to click the NPC without getting your mount right on top of the NPC.” If you land so that the NPC is to your left or right, you might be able to get close enough without covering the NPC, but in the case of the Flame Wardens, they’re all under an awning so you pretty much have to approach them from the front. Even I don’t always dismount - if I’m riding up on my horse, or even on my bird, and I can see that there are no other players anywhere nearby, I’ll go ahead and remain mounted. But if there is another player talking to or approaching the NPC, I always dismount regardless of what I’m riding.

You can see the ones near your corpse because you already saw them while you were still alive. But the game doesn’t let you see mobs while you’re in ghost/wisp form that you haven’t already seen while you were alive. My best guess about the “why” of this is they realized that, otherwise, people would get themselves killed on purpose and then use their ghost/wisp to safely scout ahead to see where all the upcoming mobs are. It wasn’t until after I was killed in the graveyard and I now had a corpse lying right there that I could see the nearby mobs. That’s when I also discovered that the only path out of the graveyard was thick with giant spiders. Those spiders weren’t close enough to attack me when I rezzed, but they made it impossible to do a quick rez/run.

I posted a more detailed description of the problem (including a screenshot) over on the Blizz Bug Reports forum:

I don’t know if it’s really a “bug” per se, but I didn’t see another more appropriate forum to put it in.

On another note, I finished up all the flames in Kalimdor yesterday. That was … tedious. The Stonetalon Mountains/Barrens/Durotar/Mulgore area made for a whole lot of riding for very long stretches. Even with my pally’s Crusader Aura active it took a very long time. I could have shortened it up a bit if I had only remembered the FP in Ratchet. When I got to Dustwallow Marsh I was once again able to fly; from DM I flew to Desolace, then to Feralas. Finished in Feralas I rode straight through into Thousand Needles, hit the Freewind Post fire, continued on to Tanaris and hit the fires there, then flew to Silithus for the last two.

I had a WTF? moment when I arrived in Stonetalon Mountains. There was a level 80 draenei shaman there, sitting on an absolutely gorgeous, blue, giant falcon/hawk/eagle/whatever. I wondered how they had summoned a flying mount in “old world”, so I asked what kind of mount it was. Turned out is was one that is dropped in Setthek (sp?) Halls, and that no, it doesn’t fly.

Raven, actually. Specifically, the Reins of the Raven Lord, which drops off the summoned boss, Anzu. He can only be summoned by a druid who has completed the epic flight form quest, and only in heroic mode.
