Re: Cataclysm experience so far.

I'm working on two characters (of which I just added to my signature because they're finally visible in the Armory. :)), at the moment. As soon as I feel like I'm done with one of them, I have a rogue and a mage to work on too. I however, am loving the game to death now.. more so than in the previo...

Re: Zero Versus Oh

"Oh" if I'm reading a number (like a phone number - all UK ones start with a 0, so the 01865 area code would be Oh-One-Eight-Six-Five, and literally everyone I know - virtually all English born and bred - would say it that way) "Zero" if I'm reading something where I'm trying to ...

Re: What's your poison?

Proper beer. Hardly anything that might be considered a 'premium lager' falls into this category. Maaaaybe Budvar. There's a reasonably local brewery that put out a beer called "hobgoblin" that calls itselt the 'unofficial beer of halloween' every year, and that's a winner with me. The oth...

Re: Regular ground mounts going 100%?

It's also true for flying mounts - All will go at the fastest speed you have obtained.

Note there are a few exceptions I think - the most obvious one is that the sea turtle still only goes super slow on land.

Re: Cataclysm experience so far.

Levelled druid to 81, did three dungeons with guildies (two as DPS, one as tank) - they are definately tougher than I expected, and the gear requirement is set high for that reason - I actually couldn't queue for any of them using the DF. Replaced ~6 pieces of gear with quest and random greens in th...

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

Gah! Grouping (or rather, the lack thereof). Ok, we've all played in busy zones. And we've all seen 5-6 people waiting for the SAME quest spawn. Last night I watched a load (8-10 most of the time) of people waiting for a spawn, putting down traps/AOE etc trying to be the one to tag it. Specifically,...

Re: Is anyone else not wanting to level their 80 right now?

My newish Troll druid is early 40s now, and will be my main until it hits outland at least. After that, I will play with my main (80 druid) and second (80 hunter), maybe get one of them to 85, but maybe not. After that, try one or both of the new races. Basically, I'll do what I can to make sure I'm...

Re: Black screen of death...anyway to fix?

If you have trouble identifying your graphics (assuming you're on windows of some kind) click start -> Control Panel and look fopr "Display" or "Display Settings".

One of the tabs there will tell you what hardware you have installed.

Yay! I've finally made a simple rule to determine whether to kick someone: Are they underperforming due to gear/inexperience? Then don't kick them, just have a chat. Are they rude, AFKing, ignoring advice or being abusive? Kick them. Take that, Warrior tank who spent Dire Maul calling everyone else ...

Re: Difficulty deciding new "main"..

I'm currently levelling my second druid (this one to be balance/resto, my existing one is feral/feral). I also have an 80 Hunter. Personally, I find the druid(s) more fun to play solo, but the Hunter infinitely more relaxing and enjoyable in a raid setting, so I say go with what you find most fun fo...

Re: Location levels

That's awesome... I saw one on my newbie Troll Druid (named CastrollGTX, pun fans) but it had nothing for me, so I assumed it was a PvP thing (me not being levelled sufficiently for BG yet).

Re: Any way to solo catch Chromaggus

Top tip (for me) - get a group of hunters who all have at least one other level 80 (well, 70+ really)

That way you can get 2-3 tames per lockout by only taking one hunter each run. The more alts people have, the better.

Re: Pet bar

Bar mods are one of those things I can go either way on. I used to use them (back before druid form/stealth bars worked properly) and felt they were a godsend, then I realised my play time was cutting back, but my messing-with-bars time was going up, meaning I spent almost as much time messing with ...
