Here comes the next content patch (3.2)

[Paelos]

Seduce didn't seem to work on them when we had a lock in the group.

[Righ]

The forced double-wide quest window is fucking pants. They should leave the interface coding to people who know how to write code. In other words everybody except their staff.

[Ingmar]

I was just thinking yesterday how much better I like the new quest window!

[Righ]

You know what that tells me? You're playing on two monitors.

[Fordel]

Just a single monitor that is as big as two monitors!


Me? I'm still cruising on the 17inch Boat Anchor here.

[Righ]

Alas I only have 1920 pixels horizontally and I like to still be able to see where I'm going when I flip up the quest book to check something. You would think that putting an option in to keep the old behaviour would have been trivial. Or just don't bother changing what worked, and let let me keep DoubleWide which allowed me to toggle between the two formats.

[Ashamanchill]

Additional instances cannot be launched, please try again later.

[Paelos]

Jousting is still stupid. The fact that they make you fight a real fight after a joust is even dumber.

[K9]

Additional instancces cannot be launched, please try again later

[K9]

Oh, and I like the new quest window.

Carbonite.

Every damn day.

[Soulflame]

I like the new quest window.  There should be an option for people to run it the old way.

Jousting is stupid, unless you can do it in a group.  This changes nothing that's dumb about the mechanics, it just makes jousting take less time.

Yes, jousting is stupid, and it's hilarious that the mechanics behind it make assist trains even better. The instance jousting is completely trivial due to charge trains and a shield breaker bot.

The transition from joust->fight just makes it clear why the lance should not be an item and just a visual effect when you mount a jousting horse.

[Rendakor]

The fact that zoning out to reset the encounter is the preferred way to do that fight further illustrates the problem.

I disilke the new quest pane; however several in my guild thought it was very nice. It's not gamebreaking, I just wish I could turn it off as I found the old quest window perfectly fine.

Yea, this too:

[Ashamanchill]

Seriously, if anything gets me to quit this damn crack addition game, it will be this instance thing.  There's nothing better to make you realize you are wasting time than standing outside of an instance you want to accomplish and not being able to do a fucking thing but look at that shimmer

/rant off

[SurfD]

The rogue is probably the most annoying; the horde one was throwing jars of poison at people and stacking a heal debuff on my tank, which sucked as a priest (wtb Poison Dispel kthnx).  

New with patch, there is a talent somewhere in the holy tree that lets you dispell poison as a priest (bleh, never mind, that only works on you appearently, not other players)

As to the CC thing, i think they are immune to everything except stun in heroic.  On normal i think you can Poly / Hex them and prob Seduce as well

[K9]

Yeah Body and Soul is self-only, and rather situational. I have the talent in my holy tree, but primarily for the speed boost.

Anyhow, done the instance a couple more times. The confessor fight is still the toughest in my view, even when you know what's coming. It's a lot of damage on the party.

[Rendakor]

Wow K9, I found the difficulty to be the complete opposite. Both the Confessor and Ealdic (sp?) are easy; the champions can be difficult if you get an annoying comp (rogue warrior shaman), and Black Knight is only difficult on p3 if the debuff goes on the healer.

Actually, i think a lot of people don't realise that you can still "tank" the confessor somewhat while the nightmare add is out.   She is surrounded by a perma shield, which absorbs all damage done, but i think that damage still generates threat.  If you keep the add close to her and hit her with whatever abilities you have at your disposal, you can keep a lot of her damage focused on you.

[Vash]

The Black Knight phase 2 can also be pretty rough if your dps/tank does a bad job of controlling/kiting/killing his ghouls and they blow people up.  Some people just dps the boss no matter what and leave them running wild (aka eating the healer and making their job much harder).  

[Rendakor]

I always just counter his AotD with an AotD of my own; it handles the phase quite well.

[Nevermore]

I did that last night, too.  It was pretty hilarious.

[Simond]

The best use ever of AotD is complete overkill on (original) Rivendare while farming the mount. "Oh, you can only manage skeletons? Let me show you what a real deathknight can do". 

[Ingmar]

Wow K9, I found the difficulty to be the complete opposite. Both the Confessor and Ealdic (sp?) are easy; the champions can be difficult if you get an annoying comp (rogue warrior shaman), and Black Knight is only difficult on p3 if the debuff goes on the healer.

I have to go with "the confessor lady is 10x as hard as anything else in there" too.

[K9]

The AoE + Waking Nightmare is pretty rough. It's manageable, but rough. I haven't had Eadric on heroic yet for some reason, but he's a joke on normal and I can't see how he'd be much harder on heroic.

[Ingmar]

He's still easy on heroic, yeah.

[Gobbeldygook]

In a blue post, GC dropped a hint about Icecrown.

I ultimately am agreeing with what you're saying, but once we say "tanking niches" players have visions of the DK who parks outside of Icecrown until boss 4, 17 and 31 (yes, IC is that big).

Just think about that.  31 bosses.  In one instance.

Suddenly, the raid lockout extension makes a lot more sense.

[Sheepherder]

Can I get a "Fuck you in your puckered asshole!"

[Rendakor]

Bet you have to kill 30 of 'em to get a shot at Arthas.

[Fabricated]

Icecrown is going to have a retarded amount of loot if that isn't just the blue-name being snarky or counting like 32+ bosses divided by 4 modes (normal10, hard10, normal25, hard25).
 
They're gonna run out of names for shit. I wanna down Kel'Thuzad 3.0 for my [Mace of Hitting Things Really Hard]!

[Fordel]

Well Arthas is by far there biggest bad guy for Warcraft.

Others may technically be more powerful, but I doubt any are as well known.


So maybe they are going all out.

[Merusk]

Yeah that's my feeling.  I think after Arthas I'm done with WoW.  He's what I've been waiting for sinec WoW came out. I really don't give a rat's ass about defeating Azshara or the Old god of Sphinters or whatever Demon is in charge of the BL at this moment.

[Hindenburg]

Kil'Jaeden.

[Paelos]

He's simply fucking with people.

[Sjofn]

Yeah that's my feeling.  I think after Arthas I'm done with WoW.  He's what I've been waiting for sinec WoW came out. I really don't give a rat's ass about defeating Azshara or the Old god of Sphinters or whatever Demon is in charge of the BL at this moment.

I sort of have that feeling too, although I doubt I will quit WoW until there's a replacement that not only I like, but Ingmar likes enough to switch to as well.
