Patch 4.3 - On a Deathwing and a prayer

[Lantyssa]

The Warlock set is great.  The others are okay.  Not hideous though.

[SurfD]

For some strange reason, the Goblin Priest T13 mask also has the lower face cut off as well (similar to how it would look on a worgen / tauren).  Maybe cause male goblins have huge noses?

They also cut off the bottom of the face on all the female armor, I guess so their faces don't look male?  Beats me.

This.

FFFFFF, I would love the paladin set if not for those stupid shoulders. Woe!


Still, much nicer than this season's fugly-ass conquest set.

[Fordel]

Seriously that one wing, one horn, one whatever the hell that is on the back just spoils what would be a amazing suit on the paladin.

[Sjofn]

The mage set pisses me off because it's an illustration of how goddamn stupid they are when they design lady armor. If it had a high neckline on the robe, the headpiece wouldn't look like 100% ass. But it DOESN'T, so she looks like she's wearing the world's most impractical neckbrace.

I like the warrior set a lot, but I'm a sucker for that sort of shit. It looks rad on a lady dwarf, if you assume she's wearing a shirt under it, WHICH SHE WOULD BE.

[caladein]

The cloth stuff from the 5-mans looks amazingzing.

[Sjofn]

Why hello there, plate set. You're looking sharp. I wouldn't transmorgify you. I'd turn the helmet off, but that's true 99% of the time, so don't feel bad, baby.

Don't really like the color for the mage set, which is the one I would be picking up, and I'm not sure how I feel about those shoulders, but it's not too shabby either.

[Rendakor]

That plate set is very nice. Much better than my DK's T12, although I'm probably still transmogrifying back into my T7.

[Ingmar]

I'm still going to be prancing around in my tier 0.5, just for the circular closure factor, although that set looks fine. I don't especially like the color the warrior set ended up with, but that's hardly a new problem.

[Simond]

Seriously that one wing, one horn, one whatever the hell that is on the back just spoils what would be a amazing suit on the paladin.

What's it like, being so wrong? 
One angel wing, one demon wing. One halo, one demon horn. It's almost like it was designed that way on purpose.

Because nothing ugly was ever designed on purpose? 

[Sjofn]

Yeah I don't give a shit what stupid artsy statement they think they're making, it looks awful.

[Simond]

Really?
Really?

[Paelos]

Yeah I don't give a shit what stupid artsy statement they think they're making, it looks awful.

But it's art! Duality or some shit. It's obviously a deep statement made by the guys who brought you the murloc suit.

[Simond]

Okay, are people seriously arguing that it's a bad set? Because that's just genuinely crazy talk

[Ingmar]

No. Can you read? People are saying it's a great set except for those couple random bits of stupid.

[Sjofn]

Which makes it more frustrating than the usual "lol paladin" suit, because oh god so close to awesome, yet so far.

[kildorn]

You could even get away with the hat/halo on the paladin set and still look good and get your theme across. I think it's the wing that just kicks it into excessively ornamental.

And in retaliation for winning the PVE tier looks, the priest set is D:

New feature announced today: Inactive Guild Leader Replacement.

If the GL isn't on for 30 days, he gets flagged as Inactive.  The system then notifies the highest-ranked people who have been online in the past week that they can take over the guild.  First on that list to click becomes the new GL.

So.. if your GL takes off and your officers do as well, you can pickup the guild as a member, I suppose.

Seems like a band aid to something that wasn't that hard to do in the case of guild leader mia in the past. Automation to remove CusServ requests I guess.

[Rasix]

We had to deal with that a lot with my "free bank space/chat room with my friends" guild.  Someone becomes active, has to petition for guild leadership because previous guild leader is inactive, goes inactive.. rinse repeat.

It's a nice feature for them to implement.

It's part that and part to do away with the assholes who stop playing in the guild they're GL of, but boot anyone who sends in a CS ticket so they can manage the place.  I've had that happen on some alts.

In one when I noticed he'd been gone almost 4 months I put in a ticket to get the guild back on my officer alt so I could figure out what to do. The GM response I read in e-mail was "we contacted the GL and he's refused your request."  I was surprised he was even still active and must have been on an alt in another guild, because I was the only officer who'd been on in 2 weeks.  When I logged in the next day I'd been gkicked.

In the other; the GL spams invites, gives everyone the ability to invite and put money in the bank and stuff in the vault but no ability to withdraw, then disappears.   He shows up every few months to loot the bank and spam invites again.  I stay in only because it's amusing to watch and it keeps my bank/ auction alt from getting invite spammed.

I've never experienced that tbh, mostly my frame of reference is from raiding guilds when the gl burns out and fucks off somewhere so the officer core steps up and petitions a leadership change, always been pretty smooth.

Its a good feature however, like I said though less of a convenience for players more of a reduction of CS requests.

Well, if people are that hung up on the symmetry thing there's always the paladin T13. No demon horns or bat-wings, either.

[Sjofn]

Words really do just bounce off your head, don't they? It's like you see them, but don't know what they mean.

[Lantyssa]

It's the wind.  He can't hear a damn thing with it blowing that hard.

I like the asymetry of the Paladin set, and to me this is the best Pala' set yet. Unfortunately my other love is a DK who would look like total ass in the new PvP "can-opener of doom" set. Fortunately I shall be transmoggin' my DK into the Acherus set with Ebon Blade Greatword.

EDIT: speelign

It's dramatic. 
Anyway: http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/201374/chaos-orbs-in-patch-43

We have just made the following change in the PTR:

In 4.3, Chaos Orbs are no longer soulbound! Everyone will be able to roll on new orbs that drop, and any existing chaos orbs will become tradeable.

At long bloody last.

[Rokal]

Now I can finally craft all that sweet 359 gear on my alts 

[SurfD]

Kind of nice in that now the two Engineers i have who are sitting on like 15 orbs a piece because orbs are practically useless to Engineers (but i still roll on them anyway) can send their orbs to someone who can actually use them, like my smith or leatherworker.

[Outlawedprod]

Now I can finally craft all that sweet 359 gear on my alts 

Depending what the minimum ilvl is for the new 5 mans it will probably be a lot easier to just chain run a few ZA/ZG/new-5mans-in-4.3 and get carried by your friends mains.

I'm guessing it wont' be hard to queue for the first new 5man (molten front daily gear helps ilvl rating) and this will be like the end of wotlk where icecrown pretty much invalidated the need for too much gears from the old 5man heroics.

[Ingmar]

The main question is whether the new heroics will drop weapons higher than ilvl 365. If they don't (or maybe even if they're tied at 365), there's still a need for the crafted ones that take 5 orbs each.

[Rokal]

Depending what the minimum ilvl is for the new 5 mans it will probably be a lot easier to just chain run a few ZA/ZG/new-5mans-in-4.3 and get carried by your friends mains.

That's the joke. You'd have to be crazy to make any of the current items that use chaos orbs at this point, because you can get better gear for much less effort. Crafted gear is still very expensive to make.
