Y'aint nothin' but a bitch!  How're you gonna fly around setting children on fire when someone's gone and jacked your flying horse?  You ain't, that's how.

Nothin' but a suckah.

Congrats.

I see you dressed up in your sunday best for the pic.

That fucker won't even drop his pumpkin hat for me.

Normally I wouldn't care... but NOW, NOW there is an ACHIEVEMENT for that hat  :uhrr:


Someone call the Doctor, I have a problem :(

Don't mock, that's probably better gear than most of my 70's have :D

Nice! I got his helm and sword, but haven't even seen the mount drop yet.

Nice horse - shame about the elf!



I'm guessing that the HH quest is only doable by 70s?

That's one nice looking pony.

I was lucky enough to get a rare mount a few years ago now (the raptor from ZG), but as horde it's almost impossible for me to pose with it as it looks almost exactly like the normal one.  The damage to my e-peen has been quite significant.  :why_so_serious:

There's two Horsemen events. One is a town attack that anyone can do (He's level 11) and then once a day you can summon the HH in the Scarlet Monastery graveyard. That one, he's level 70 and takes a group to kill.

And the 70 version is the one that drops the mount.  :awesome_for_real:

There now exist 4 people who will hate you until the day they die. Gratz.

There are two bad things about that horse.  It flies and I do not have it yet.

I know there are two - the putting out fires one is a pain in the arse if no-ones willing to think about it. I tried to do it at Razor Hill but people just ran about asking how to kill the HH rather than put the fires out.  It's the SM Graveyard quest that I'm obviously interested in but I'm not 70 yet - hence the question.

Real life mate of mine got it tonight. Stoked for him, but would be more stoked if I'd gotten it ;)

Saw some pets, bt no luck yet. Also had the helm drop a couple times, one of which there were no plate wearers in the group. That hurt.

4 people?  Me and a guildie regularly kill the bastard with a three person group (the third usually being him dual boxing his wifes priest just to toss heals as an afterthought).  HH is a joke now, considering he was balanced based on the gear curve a full year ago (when Kara gear was uber).

Feral Druid / Ret paladin and we can practically 2 man him.

My rogue got the flying horsie and combat ring saturday, was pretty damn pumped about it.  With my zergling trailing behind, I usually get at least one tell a day asking about how to get this stuff.  Usually I just make shit up, tell them it drops in kurast or whatnot.

Fun event, though maybe slightly too easy...

A guy in my group said he would pay us each 500G not to roll on it.  We said "to hell with that, we're rolling."  I didn't win though.

Yes and no. We're in the UBERZONE right now with the new talents but the old content, so everyone is just running around dominating everything with a chainsaw while sending constant achievement spam through guildchat. It's feelgood candyland right now. They did the same thing right before BC with the PVP gear. I think with the talents as well.

Next year it'll be retuned to WOTLK levels, and so will the Brewfest event.

You can get the quest to fight the level 70 horseman as early as 65.  You probably wouldn't want the MT to be that low, but a 65 healer or DPS would be fine.  Our tank for the fights last night was 68, and there were no problems.

Grats to you!  I keep farming Strath hoping for the Baron's mount.. no luck.

So did anyone else hear that they're going to remove the masks requirement from the Hallow's End achievement title? That was implied in a few "The sinister squashling drops too infrequenly" whines on the WOW forums this morning.

Yeah - you no longer need to get all 20 owing to the limited drop rate so you only need the achievement granted by getting one.

Awesome.  I was averaging 1 mask a DAY over the weekend, when I had ample time to actually log in once an hour and check.  I was going to be pissy.

The reason my character look like a circus threw up on her is that she's still 66.  That's my unique 'still leveling up and replacing gear with crap I find laying on the sidewalk' chique.

AKA "The levelling clownsuit" - a problem so widespread that Blizzard specifically tailored the world drops & quest rewards in WotLK to actually co-ordinate...to a certain degree.

Besides, it's all about the Haliscan suit.  :awesome_for_real:

LOLOL love it. Grats on your new ride!

Why can't WoW implement an appearance tab?  Is showing ugly shoulder pads that important?

Look, if I had to wear ugly ass Valor shoulders for nigh on a year, everyone else can suffer too!

Giantstalker on an Orc.

Don't get me started....still have those 3 years later (course I have not played the toon in 2 years but still)

They've flat out said they could, but won't.  The shoulders are an Iconic part of the sets, which is useful in PvP and for E-peen, so they don't want a way for folks to turn them off.


They had a few sets of quest armor that matched in BC, too.  Diddn't mean anyone wore it because itemization across the set was balls.  (Nagrand quest plate was all the same purple model, and I think Netherstorm quests.. but I never did all of those)

The best my character's ever looked in WoW:

And that's like level 30 gear.  Note the lack of ADD-ish flashing lights, ungodly-huge Warhammer 40K shoulder pads, and weapons bigger than her torso.

That's the "Glyphed" leather set. Get a http://www.wowhead.com/?item=9877 to go with it  :grin:

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=6688 is level appropriate for the set and matches better then the actual glyphed hat, which doesn't match at all.

The worst mine has looked:

God, those pants shout out G A Y.

Too bad, because that might actually break my resolve to not return.

(Revert to 'actual' appearance in their silly battlegrounds.  If someone doesn't want to show their e-peen, then... the e-peens stand out that much more.  Seems win-win.)

Apparently.  My Thrallmar reward shoulders stand WAY out on a mage.  Light green subtle everything else, MASSIVE RED SPIKE shoulder pads.  Lame.

Lantyssa, those BGs are bullshit anyways.  Don't bother until they unfuck PvP.

Appearently it wasn't due to the "limited" drop rate (they figured the current drop rate was acceptable to give you a chance at getting all the masks over the holiday), but due to the fact that Draenei and Blood Elf masks don't actually exist in game, so it is impossible to finish the full set.

Yeah, it's not exactly brain surgery - turn off appearance slots in BGs and arenas, leave them on everywhere else. Hell, let it be an option whether you want to view other people's appearance slots or their actual gear.

Hey, I didn't say it made sense or you'd like it.  All games have things that are part of "Vision" thinking by the devs in one way or another.

I hate the shoulders in WoW, for exactly that reason.  The sub-level 40 shoulders are not bad, but everything that comes later?  Awful.

And I don't like not matching.  I think my daughter has the right idea.  She collects robes (only she calls them "dresses") and wears what she feels like wearing. 

I thought WoW was all about giving people what they want.  An appearance tab is what we want.  Give it to us please!  And more bank slots or a new closet or something.

An appearance tab might be enough to bring me back.  I quit because of the endgame grind, but my second largest complaint was that I hated looking at my avatar.

You will need more SEA-types on the Blizzard Exectutive staff for this to happen.  It's very much a Game, not a world and design is approached from an AKE gamer perspective.  This is why they fail on things like /lfg, guild management and guild recruitment but other things are just fucking stellar for those of us who like A & K type gaming with a side of E.

Player housing a la EQ2.

I wouldn't bother even if it was unfucked.  I'm not into PvP.  I got in on a few open world battles years ago that were fun, and other than being oddly aggressive in WAR, I'm a carebear.  Battlegrounds hold little interest for me, and their reliance on equipment > level > skill/thinking kills what there is.  Thus the 'silly'.

Precisely the way LotRO does it and it works fine (every slot is toggled to showing and any cosmetic items are removed in the PvP zone.)

However - it does get kind of ridiculous when people are wearing their best dress in raids... but I'm a dirty RPer and picky with those immersion-related things. So it's not without side-effects unfortunately.

Yeah my biggest problem with the appearance tab idea is that sort of thing. I don't want someone tanking in their Easter dress.

I'm not sure it's possible to be playing WoW and complain about immersion at this point...  If anything, the gain from an appearance tab would problably be a net positive, considering even blind people have better fashion sense than what you get from picking gear based on stats rather than looks.

You're talking about immersion in a fantasy game that is about to implement motorcycles.

His character picture says he doesn't outgear HH event though. :hello_thar:

Point taken, but I objected to those too, in their current configuration.  :oh_i_see:

I won this tonight.   Now if only I could get the damn squashling to drop.  I've gotten everything but so far. Grr.

It dropped for me earlier, and I, in typical fashion, rolled a 6.  Hopefully I'll luck out on the next one. 

Also, the squash and pumpkin hat drop from treat bags now, which is nifty. 

Not to mention mecha, drigibles and steam powered tanks.

People already do this a lot on my server with Noggenfogger and the Halloween transformation rods etc. Cracks me up doing a 5-man with everyone as pirates or skeletons :)

Bring on the easter dresses if it means I can fuckin' wear pants AT ALL TIMES instead of some goddamn plate thong.

And I'll do the opposite!  :grin:

I want to believe. :oh_i_see:

I've had the helm drop twice from treat bags for me now.


On the same level 10 character.





That I plan to delete





It's annoying.

Yeah they must have flipped that yesterday then? I just got one on my 20 mage this morning.

I think it went in on a hotfix during some midnight server resets, but I'm not sure.  Now all I need is some wand transformations and the gnerdrage one and I'm set. 

Hmm.. you should have doen Gnerdrage the same day you did all the candy baskets.  Those only last a day when you loot them.

They changed the candy basket candy to a two week cooldown as well.  I never did all the candy baskets, so I'm still set. 

You can also get the candy from the present you get from the orphan after defending a noob town from the horseman (daily quest).

I hit 68 last night after a two-night quest grindfest, so I can finally take the horse airborne.  (Yay druids.)  It is pretty phenomenally sweet to have a mount that works in the old world and can take to the sky in the new zones.  Given that other flying mounts will be useless in Northrend until you hit 77 and shell out a pile of cash, the versatility is a nice touch.  Not having to pay for an epic flying mount is nice, too.

Meh, it's only 200g.  After shelling out the 5 large for the skill you really don't feel it.

Heh, well.  I wasn't gonna be paying the 200g in any event, I was gonna do the quest for the epic stormcrow shapeshift.  But it'll be nice to have an epic flying mount in that window of time between my shelling out the 5k for the riding skill and getting off my ass to do the quest.

I heard that there's some awesomeness in the quest, so I'm not gonna take the shortcut of buying it off the trainer.

HH mount won't work in Northrend without doing the same shit you have to do for any other flying mount, I can pretty much guarantee that.

One hopes that It will just summon as a normal epic ride like it does in the old world.  If not it's only 7 levels and a grand.  :drill:

Oh, it certainly won't fly.  But it should at least appear as a normal ground mount, whereas I'm betting that normal flying mounts won't be able to be summoned at all.

As well, instead of giving us more bank slots this patch, they freed up a lot, with the new pet system, mount system, and badge systems they added.

I would disagree.  I would say with 90% certainty that it will function perfectly as a normal ground mount untill you unlock "cold weather flying", then you will be able to fly with it again.  I base this off the new flying broom tech, that lets the Magic Brooms behave as any type of mount, depending on your current Riding skill. 

My kid was messing around and rolled a dwarf warrior, went and did the event, and got the blue little pet pumpkin.  Now he plans on leveling up that guy.

What is the spirit of competition in the warrior guild?  I thought you got the pet from doing the BG's during the Olympics?  I got the tabard, but never the pet.  Would be cool if Blizzard would let kids or adults who do sports in clubs or competitively or sign in daily at a gym (for adults), then give them a pet, might have to have the coach or trainer sign off and mail it in, but it would be neat.

you were guaranteed the Compeditors Tabbard (i think that the one) for simply participating in any BG.  The pet was a random chance to be mailed to you on any Successful BG win.

Right, I never got it, but now there is a code person in the warriors guild for the pet.  I thought you just got the pet mailed to you, not a code that you had to take to the person in the guild hall.  Or is there going to be another way to get the pet other than waiting 2 years for the next Olympics to come around?

Ohhhh, you mean near the warrior trainers / battle masters?

That was an NPC that would redeem a special code only available to players in china during the Olympics.  They could get a special version of the pet (different colour scheme) from a code that was randomly emailed to a few Hundred Chinese players each day during the Olympics.
