Cataclysm

[SurfD]

I can't be the only one in the world that think Goblins suck.

A lot of the goblin love I see on the forums strikes me as wishful thinking from the types who used to scoff at the Alliance with their fruity elves and paladins, then cut themselves when BC launched and 80% of the Horde became elf paladins overnight. A fair number of paladins who don't mind paying for race changes will become Tauren, but I doubt the average slob who rolled an elf because they want to be pretty will change their mind for goblins.

That had far less to do with people wanting to roll fruity metrosexual elves, and more to do with the fact that said metrosexual elves were the only way to be a horde paladin, and in BC, paladins were stupidly OP for the longest time.

[Ingmar]

Most of the blood elves I see are casters, at least on Moan Guard.

[Sjofn]

I just want to stab ankles. Is that so wrong?

That is never wrong. Ever.



Also, I think the blood elves made "real" Horde players depressed because suddenly they had a harder time making the case that they the unique snowflake side that didn't CARE about things like being pretty but oh God why is everyone an elf whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Personally, I love playing blood elf dudes because of those exact people.

[Lantyssa]

I love people who play Blood Elves to torment those people.  I'd still choose Troll most of the time, with Goblins a nice second.

There's not a whole lot of data for MG on WarcraftRealms in general, much less on Horde, but the 80 numbers seem to match the global picture: 1/3 Paladin, 1/3 Clothy, 1/6 Death Knight, 1/6 Everything Else.

Blood Elves are going to be a comfortable plurality of Horde characters for the foreseeable future.  Tauren Paladins, Goblins, or my personal dislike of them, aren't going to change that.

[Tannhauser]

I have two 80's, both are undead.  That will NEVER change!

Forsaken 4ever!

I really like trolls but for some reason whenever I sit down to make a new character, I wind up picking a non-troll race unless I specifically think to myself, "I want to make a troll." I have some sort of mental block that just skips right over them. It's extra doofy considering they can be almost anything! I have a troll shaman, though. She's a peach. <3

[Ashamanchill]

I wonder if Blizzard would allow the charges to show up as "Porn".  That would be less embarrassing and easier to explain to my wife.

Lol. Maybe you can convince them to file it under 'online addiction', and let her jump to conclusions.

[Ashamanchill]

Sorry for the double post, but does anyone know if upon buying Cataclysm you get a free, auto subscribed month? or do you have to be actively subbed to play it?

[K9]

No idea man, sorry

The flight form for troll druids is seriously special, definitely something done well there.

Also like Sofjn I am torn on doing the human > worgen switch on my priest. I am sorely tempted, although I would miss diplomacy. I'll have to have a think.

[caladein]

Nope, no free month with adding an expansion to your account.

[Fabricated]

Oh yeah, since the old world is getting redone obviously the quest rewards are getting redone too. Since the remake of the old world tightens the level ranges of the various zones so you're leveling in one place instead of like 2-3 at once like it currently is 1-60, each zone has a set of gear that conforms visually.

To be honest, the color scheme and models chosen aren't the best for some sets but at least you're saved from wearing completely random looking clownsuits until you hit BC.

[Sjofn]

Ooh yay, the leather for 20-30 is one of my favorites, I'm glad they're reusing it.

Hopefully all those pairs of pants are PANTS on the ladies, or I will cry. Like this: 

[Lakov_Sanite]

the leather 40-50 screams gay biker.

[Sjofn]

For some reason the fur collar on that set amuses me the most.

[Chimpy]

Oh you know they will be pants.

In the British vernacular 

[Sheepherder]

...gay bikers trying to steal my pants.  I can't blame them, they are leather, they're a gay man's pants.

[apocrypha]

Surreal mangina going on with the 10-20 leather. 

I hope there's some variation between those and, for instance, dungeon gear/blues/purples in those level ranges. Would be a shame if everyone at those levels just looked identical outside of class/race differences.

Other than that, nice idea. Not as nice as an appearance tab ofc but I think we're all resigned to never getting that now, right?

[Fordel]

Each zone has it's own colour per level range from what I've observed in beta.

[caladein]

I really like that 50s Cloth set.  One can only hope it doesn't go all bare midriff-y on females, but even then, that's what a tabard's for.

[Lantyssa]

Well pants.

[Ivanneth]

I was feeling kind of blah about the expansion until I saw those armor sets. I'm a sucker for armor sets, and the fact that they're quest rewards kicks ass. I'll be starting my dwarf shaman day 1 of the expansion.

[Shrike]

So...does this mean the old dungeon sets are gone? What about a T0 revival? No?

Ah, well. I wasn't planning on rerolling anything initially. Some sort of worgen is on the menu eventually, but so far haven't figured out what that might be. I've just about been talked into playing a worgen tank warrior for a dedicated group to play a couple of times a week, but nothing finalized yet. It'll have to wait for the shaman to hit 85 and get blued regardless.

Nothing to do with the old dungeon sets, these are what the green armor from quest rewards will look like. They're not sets in the sense that they have set bonuses and stuff, they're just visually consistent.

[kildorn]

We're keeping the TBC leveling clownsuits though, right?

[kaid]

Yes TBC level fancy pants are still there

[Ratman_tf]

What about the gals (and guys, mostly guys) who want to dress their toon up all slutty? Huh? What about them?

[caladein]

They can burn in their non-flame retardant plate lingerie.

You know, honestly, if there was a way to let them dress like they forgot to put on pants that morning while I don't (*cough cough appearance tab cough*  ) I would be a lot less paranoid about the State of Pants. But I am totally selfish! I don't want to see my own character's ass cheeks, so no one can!

[Azazel]

Cloaks? 

[Sjofn]

Cloaks clip with everything, and I hate clipping! I am such a picky bitch! 

[K9]

Cloaks on Dranaei females are so so so bad 

[kaid]

Cloaks on Dranaei females are so so so bad 

ugh yes. I can stand cloak clipping with most characters but I had to turn mine off with my draenei. The males cloaks are bad and the females the cloaks look damn silly.

[Rendakor]

Elementals are actually attacking capital cities now.
