10:55.06Wardis there any way I can compare achievements between 2 chars outside the game?
10:56.59StormscapeWard, in the armoury most likely
10:57.04Wardno
10:57.11Wardyou used to be able to in the old armory
10:57.19Wardbut the new one doesn´t have that feature
10:57.30Wardand there´s no website that does it either it seems
10:57.55Wardthe only thing I can do atm it seems, is load both chars into wowhead and compare them side by side manually

11:01.23Stormscapeaaaahhh I can't decide between making my mage Goblin or Blood Elf
11:01.38JunkHeadDo both.
11:02.06Eraclitotroll be da way, mon
11:02.28Eraclitomy only horde lv80+ character is a troll mage :P
11:02.29Stormscapeyeah but troll feet are ugly
11:02.29Wardbelf
11:02.48Wardgoblins are cool now, but after a while you get annoyed by their small stature
11:02.55Wardand cloth gear looks crap on them
11:02.58JunkHeadgoblin are pretty nice, but they just look silly.
11:03.06JunkHeadas much as i want to like their look, i just cant
11:03.07Wardalso belfs are far more rooted in mage lore
11:03.08Stormscapethat's how I felt about my priest when she was a gnome
11:03.12StormscapeI couldn't see any of my gear
11:03.16JunkHeadyeah i dont like gnomes either
11:03.28Wardso Belf Mage is the way to go
11:03.33StormscapeIndeed!
11:03.34Eraclitoi changed my main from gnome to night elf
11:03.48StormscapeNow to spend 25 minutes getting her face juuuuuuust right
11:03.51WardI only play alliance atm
11:03.56Wardbut if I were horde, I´d be a belf
11:03.57Wardor a cow
11:04.03Eraclitoi have anyway three more gnomes, but there's something good about them being so little
11:04.12Eraclitovanilla gear still feel awesome
11:04.18Stormscapeonly thing gnome is good for is melee classes in PvP
11:04.27Eraclitoon high characters they look like crap
11:04.30Stormscapecombine with Noggenfogger
11:04.57JunkHeadDamn... Beta must be down.
11:05.19WardI added all my chars to the wowhead profiles, but that doesn´t have a compare feature either :p
11:06.06JunkHeadI rarely get on the MoP beta, but this mornign I copied over a few characters so I can see the account wide achievement/pet/mount stufffor myself.
11:06.14JunkHeadand now i cant get on the beta.:P
11:06.34WardI´ve never been in a single wow beta
11:06.41Wardalways unlucky with the keys

11:08.59StormscapeI forgot how hilariously mean the female BE /silly is
11:09.08Stormscape"Mirrors can't talk. Luckily for you they can't laugh either."
11:09.32Wardfemale BEs are bitchy
11:09.35Wardin a good way
11:09.41Stormscapegod I know they're like
11:09.43StormscapeQueens of Mean
11:09.56JunkHeadLisa Lampanelli?
11:10.48Ward"I went to Undercity to get a facial. Ha! Have you seen these people? I said, 'You don't have a lower jaw and you're going to give ME a facial?' She got mad...at least I think she did. You ever heard someone talk without a lower jaw? 'Rawe-rau-werew' Ho-ho! She sounded like a murloc!"
11:10.59StormscapeI always loved how female BE /chicken literally does sound like a chicken
11:11.25JunkHeadOne of my favorite emote sounds in-game is the female draenei /train.
11:11.34JunkHeadIt makes me giggle every time I hear it.
11:12.19JunkHeadugh, my beta isnt up to date
11:12.24JunkHead2.19gb left.:\
11:13.23StormscapeJunkHead, female gnome /train is the best
11:13.51Wardok so I´ve found an addon that lets me export all my achievements into a CSV file
11:14.07WardI can then enter the CSV files of both chars into excel and do a comparitative analysis there
11:14.11Wardshowing me the differences
11:14.39Wardquite an obtuse way to figure out what achievements I should go for next
11:16.36JunkHeadI'd like to find a simple printable list of all mounts in the game.

21:16.34Amarandeshakes my head at some of these guilds' policies ...
21:16.45AmarandeLike one top EU guild for instance: "You must be prepared to sacrifice any real life activities in order to ensure attendance."
21:16.54Amarandehow do these raiders like, work and such? :S
21:18.11Stormscape^clearly wasn't around in Vanilla
21:18.30StormscapeVanilla Raid Guilds would share phone numbers so you could get called at 3 in the morning to log on to kill a world boss
21:18.42Amarande... OTOH, at least they have raiding frost mages, so *finally* I've found a model to base a modern PvE spec on
21:18.46StormscapeSleep? Work? Doesn't matter; world boss
21:19.40Amarandeand nope, I didn't show up to WoW until BC
21:19.47Amarandeand didn't raid regularly until WotLK
21:20.18Amarandemy BC raiding experience amounted to a couple of Kara runs where I think we made it up to Chess Event. heh
21:20.28Wardsome of the members of my guild have my personal email address
21:20.51Wardthe one that is 100% spam free and gets forwarded directly to my phone
21:20.58AmarandeI *almost* managed to land a gig in a kara guild the last couple of months of BC
21:21.02Amarandebut bad luck struck there
21:21.09WardI still get messages at 2 AM sometimes, asking me to come heal
21:21.30Amarandeat the time, the only days I could count on being home in the evenings without getting a surprise work shift that might be till 9 or later were Tuesday and Wednesday, so my choices were rather limited
21:21.32JunkHeadWhen I raided regularly, only like, 2 guildies had my number.
21:21.32WardAmarande, I got a frost pve spec on my mage
21:21.40JunkHeadonly 1 every called me for raids and such
21:21.56JunkHeadand if I didn't wanna join, she'd simply tell everyone she couldn't reach me.
21:21.59Wardhttp://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/outland/Wardian/talent/secondary
21:22.02AmarandeI finally found a Tue/Wed guild and did well, I think, in my trial run, but before I could be considered for further trials or permanent membership, I went to Dragon Con
21:22.08Wardoldschool pve frost
21:22.21AmarandeAnd when I came back from D*Con I found out that they'd changed to Tue/Thu, which was not viable at the time :|
21:22.59JunkHeadMy first main raiding guild was amornign guild.
21:23.08JunkHeadugh
21:23.12JunkHeada morning guild
21:23.16JunkHeadpiece of shit space bar
21:23.24WardI´ve been in the same guild since early vanilla
21:23.25JunkHeadthey started raids at 8am my time.
21:23.29Ward2005 it was founded
21:23.34Wardbut I didn´t become an officer until wotlk
21:23.37JunkHeadwell... about 10 minutes after 8.
21:23.42JunkHeadthey gave me time to get home from work.
21:24.09AmarandeAt the time, except for Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, I didn't have a reliably consistent work schedule, and could have a work shift as early as 8AM or as late as midnight any given day
21:24.15JunkHeadI joined that guild shortly after TBC came out.
21:24.22JunkHeadstarted on t4 content
21:24.28Amarandeand Sundays were (still are, actually) always an evening shift, so the constancy of a shift there worked against, not for me
21:24.32raspyweeee
21:24.37JunkHeadstayed with them until....before ulduar came out
21:25.14AmarandePretty much I would have had to find a late nite guild I think
21:25.29Amarande*and* it would have had to accept someone who was still a relatively fresh 70 and thus needed to do the gear treadmill first
21:26.03AmarandeAt least it would have been during BC.
21:26.14AmarandeI imagine that late night guilds were quite hated and reviled during the late stages of vanilla, heh
21:26.35Amarandeespecially after things like the Valafar affair
21:26.48Amarande(indeed, I think it might be a good idea on the server I'm about to roll Alliance on to never speak of bug mounts. heh)
21:27.16*** join/#wowhead Primar|Home (~nnscript@host86-175-209-46.wlms-broadband.com)
21:27.36Amarandeyou can probably tell the reason, in light of the above. :P
21:28.58Wardwhat´s the Valafar affair?
21:31.07*** join/#wowhead Primar (~nnscript@host86-175-209-46.wlms-broadband.com)
21:32.51AmarandeWard: on Ysera, during the AQ40 rush, one infamous guild (though not infamous enough for me to remember the name off the top of my head, as I read about it on one of the wikis and am only just now getting ready to roll on that server)
21:32.54*** join/#wowhead Primar (~nnscript@host86-175-209-46.wlms-broadband.com)
21:33.20*** join/#wowhead Sidar (~Krohnal@12.81-166-172.customer.lyse.net)
21:33.21Amarandewas behind in the race for the scepter, and apparently primarily had had trouble with the 5 hour BWL run
21:33.36Amarandeso they brought in a transfer member from another server who was further progressed in order to catch up
21:33.43Amarandehis name was Valafar, hence why I term this the Valafar affair.
21:34.12Amarandenow, you can probably make a very good guess as to why the bug mount is probably something not to talk about on Ysera and why late nite guilds might have been especially hated for most of the rest of vanilla after that ...
21:35.02JunkHeadSo, the guild hit a roadblock and recruited a transfer to help them over it?
21:36.56AmarandeJunkHead: Yeah. But that itself wouldn't have been the evil thing.
21:37.23AmarandeThe evil thing was that Valafar went ahead, once he had his sceptre (he might have transferred with it in fact, I'm foggy on that now but it's on the Ysera page on the wikis)
21:38.03Amarande... and, rather than waiting for the unofficially but understood agreed time that the various competing guilds were going to hit the gong (I guess they had decided to be friendly and let everyone who had worked hard enough in a timely manner to get their bugs)
21:38.11Amarande... went and did it himself
21:38.14Amarande... in the wee hours
21:38.21Amarande... on a (you probably guessed it)
21:38.59AmarandeI wonder if he stayed on the server for long or if he made a point to transfer off as soon as the cooldown was up :P
21:39.25AmarandeI'm guessing he probably was really, really lucky he was on a PvE server though :P
21:40.37AmarandeI imagine someone doing that on a PvP server probably wouldn't even dare mount their legendary bug, as it would probably mark them KoS for the other faction and make their own faction wish there was intra-faction PvP, heh
21:41.38JunkHeadthe server i played on for a while as horde...
21:41.43JunkHeadwe had this little claim to fame
21:41.48JunkHeadhttp://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Analogkid
21:41.58AmarandeBut yup. He went against the server wide effort and ninja'd the gong credit, late on a Monday night no less so that most of the 10 hour window was during maintenance.
21:42.48JunkHeadhttp://wow.joystiq.com/2008/08/07/forum-post-of-the-day-vicarious-legend/
21:44.00AmarandeAnd yeah, I've never quite understood why some human beings choose to descend to such levels of jerkdom. :|
21:45.01AmarandeI mean really, he spoiled the fun of several hundred people for nothing more than an item that doesn't even give any kind of edge whatsoever. *shakes head*
21:51.10Amarandehrm.
21:51.18Amarandeis http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/twisting-nether/Asayu/talent/primary actually a PvE spec btw, or is that actually their PvP spec?
21:51.24AmarandeI'm comparing that one to Ward's
21:53.22Amarandeah, apparently it is a PvE spec

22:20.22WardI don´t really see the point of speccing into impact for pve
22:20.46Wardit´s not like you have fire dots to spread as frost
22:22.58Amarandeyeah, this is a strange spec
22:23.01Amarandeespecially for a world class raider
22:24.03*** join/#wowhead NiLoni (~nilon@unaffiliated/nilon)
22:32.34Amarandeyeah, yours seems to make more sense
22:38.26Wardmaybe he just uses that spec on gimmicky fights
22:38.32Wardwhere he needs to control an add or something
22:38.54Wardhis other spec is a stright up fire pve spec
22:39.06Wardthe basic cookiecutter almost every mage uses atm
22:39.55Amarandeyeah, it seems nearly everyone uses fire/arcane with very little love for frost
22:40.05Amarandeeven though frost actually feels fun to play :S
22:40.37LugburzFUK FRAWST
22:41.34WardFrost is wicked fun
22:41.47Wardespecially in burn phases, when you can lay down some double deep freeze combos
22:41.47Lugburzheh
22:42.14AmarandeI tried fire once and felt way too squishy when soloing
22:42.15Wardplus you got so much survivability and control you can actually save the day on tricky fights
22:42.25AmarandeHave never really tried Arcane. I understand it tends to lead to a drinking problem.
22:42.40Wardfire is good for standing out of harms way and spamming maximum dps
22:42.48Wardarcane even more so
22:42.55Wardbecause arcane is all about the rotation
22:43.07Wardarcane has zero interactivity, fire has a little
22:43.10Wardfrost has a lot
22:43.18Amarandeyeah, frost tends to work off priority
22:43.24Amarandeinterestingly, this is so whether it's a mage or a DK
22:43.30Amarande(I raided as a DW frost DK during LK)
22:43.40WardI´ve never tried a DK
22:43.44Wardapart from 55-60 :p
22:43.50Wardjust to see the zone once
22:44.06AmarandeDKs are pretty fun, as long as you look past the fact that a lot of people will look at you as a noob for choosing the class
22:44.14Amarandebut then, that's no different than ret paladin, or any spec of hunter
22:44.25Wardyeah
22:44.45Amarandeany class that's easy to play but not so easy to master is going to be like that though
22:44.55Wardpeople say the same thing about mages really
22:45.11Amarandejealousy probably plays a major part in the mage case
22:45.21Wardbut I see plenty of mages in LFR who are in full tier gear and a perfect pve build, and not even dps´ing close to their potential
22:45.32Wardwith fire for instance, nobody times their Combustion right
22:45.47Amarandeespecially since cata, since mages are the only class who get around the world so easily now
22:45.49Wardit´s so important to use Combustion just right
22:46.10Wardplus there´s always people saying frost has no place in raids
22:46.28Warduntil you out dps them and take less than over a whole fight than the rogues and paladins
22:46.44Wardless damage
22:46.52Amarandeyeah, taking strain off the healers is always a good thing
22:47.11AmarandeI remember when Cata was new and healer mana was strained like never before, I actually suggested that rogues spec Sub
22:47.20Amarandesimply because of that passive AoE damage reduction talent
22:47.52Amarandeafter all, all specs do a flat 0.0 DPS when dead
22:48.16Amarandespeaking of DKs I was pleasantly surprised to look at mine's spellbook the other day
22:48.53WardI wish I could raid on my mage more
22:49.00Amarandeapparently, what used to be raise an ally as a ghoul has become a full-fledged b-rez
22:49.04Amarandenot sure when that happened :S
22:49.04Wardit´s still my favorite class after 7 years of playing it
22:49.14AmarandeI didn't play during 4.1 or 4.2
22:49.15Wardthat happened in the cataclysm
22:49.21Wardwarlocks got a b-rez too
22:49.24Amarandewas that basic 4.0.3?
22:49.27Wardyeah
22:49.32StormscapeERREYBODY GETS A BREZ
22:49.40Wardjust warlocks and DKs
22:49.41AmarandeI remember we also got royally pissed off about b-rezzes when 4.0 hit
22:49.44Wardand druids still have theirs
22:49.46Amarandein our raid group
22:50.02Amarandebecause we had a very druid-heavy group and were used to the huge security against wipes that had
22:50.05StormscapeI find it offensive that warlocks and DKs have a battle rez but I still don't
22:50.21WardI think mages should get one
22:50.25Amarandenow not only do b-rez's put all other group members' b-rez's on CD
22:50.26Wardwe always survive wipes
22:50.31Wardallthough, mass res is fine too
22:50.34Amarandebut apparently, someone popping their previously placed soulstone counts too
22:50.45Wardyeah
22:50.49Amarande(and I would guess that so does a Shaman in the raid popping their whatchamacallit? ... also that sounds wrong)
22:50.54Wardit´s also terrible when like 4 guys die on a fight
22:50.57Ward3 dps and a healer
22:51.04Wardand some warlock decides to res his dps buddy
22:51.23Wardand you´re sitting there spamming bres on the healing
22:51.30WardNOOOOOOOOOOO, to late
22:51.31Amarandeit was useful when we were learning the LK fight to have multiple b-rez's though
22:51.46Wardwe used it a lot on LK heroic
22:51.53Wardwe spent weeks and weeks trying that one
22:52.02Wardhaving bres made us progress faster
22:52.04Amarandenah what's fun is when 3 or 4 folks in a 5-man group die in LBRS because a fear chain aggroed most of the downstairs troll room
22:52.09Stormscapedid they get rid of this though, cause I swear we rezzed the tank at least twice on Heroic Yor'sahj last week
22:52.20Amarandeand then the hunter proceeds to successfully clear out the entire clusterf***
22:52.27Amarandeyou know how I know this? :)
22:52.49Wardyou can do 1 res on 10 man, and 3x on 25
22:52.53AmarandeI was that hunter.
22:53.07StormscapeWard yeah it was 10 man
22:53.22AmarandeI think everyone was getting ready for the wipe by then
22:53.24Wardthen you can´t have ressed him twice
22:53.27Amarandeand then wondered why the wipe never came :P
22:53.27Stormscapebut we did
22:53.31Wardyou didn´t
22:53.38Stormscapewe did though
22:53.46Wardimpossible!
22:53.55AmarandeI wonder what abuse precipitated the idea of shared b-rez CDs
22:54.03Amarandeunless they felt too many people were playing druids
22:54.05Stormscapedruid stacking
22:54.17Stormscapebring 10 druids oh look you can rez half your raid every attempt
22:54.34WardI´m countertrend
22:54.41WardI didn´t start my druid until cata came out
22:54.44StormscapeNow you never see druids anymore
22:54.54StormscapeBecause they were only good for their rez
22:55.10Wardhttp://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/outland/Wardinary/advanced
22:55.19WardI raid more on my druid than on my mage
22:55.34Wardit helps that I´m a tank/healer
22:55.40Wardcan fit me into any slot
22:56.08StormscapeWe have 11 85 druids in our guild of 77 characters. Only 4 of them aren't abandoned alts
22:56.34Wardyeah I´m the only one in my guild on active raid status
22:56.50StormscapeNobody plays druids anymore, they're only good for gathering professions
22:56.51Wardbut I pretty much have a guaranteed spot in any raid
22:56.59Wardresto druids are still very powerful if played right
22:57.21StormscapeWe have 0 raiding warriors
22:57.25Wardresto druid healing is pretty complex atm
22:57.27StormscapeBecause warriors are worthless
22:57.36Wardit´s not just spamming Wild Growth anymore
22:57.52Wardwarriors are decent MTs
22:58.10Stormscapeor you can bring a DK or Paladin
22:58.12Wardwe have 1 warrior tank, he´s the most pleasant to heal of all our tanks
22:58.23Wardmight just be because the dude has skills though
22:58.28StormscapeMost likely
22:58.30Wardhe´s been our MT seen AQ
22:58.40Wardsince
22:58.41StormscapeI knew a warrior in TBC who AoE tanked Heroic Shattered Halls
22:58.44Stormscapeas a warrior.
22:58.57AmarandeI tried starting a druid a couple times but never really got far before going back to another character
22:58.58StormscapeHe was stance dancing and tabbing like a motherfucker
22:59.09Wardit was hard back then
22:59.14AmarandeHSH ... that must have been the baptism by fire for a warrior tank
22:59.17Wardnowadays warriors just bleed and thunderclap
22:59.19StormscapeThe worst part about being a druid is unless you're a healer you'll never see your gear
22:59.36Wardyeah on my druid I heal MS, gear up like a mofo
22:59.37AmarandeStormscape: that will at least partially change in MoP
22:59.45Wardand then spend the rest of the expansion gathering agi gear for tanking
22:59.50Amarandehunters will no longer be getting statsticks
22:59.58Amarandeso it will only be druids vs. monks for polearms
23:00.05WardI don´t mind sharing agi sticks with hunters
23:00.12Amarande(monks pretty much use anything, right?)
23:00.13Wardit´s only 2 classes
23:00.20Wardthere´s way more competition for healing staves
23:00.27Stormscapeyou want somebody to feel bad for? Mages on their tier token.
23:00.33Warddude
23:00.36Stormscapecompete with 2 tank classes
23:00.52Wardwe play mages, we know how mages always get shafted on the tokens
23:01.00Stormscapeor warlocks
23:01.05Wardever since TBC we´ve always gotten the shittiest share
23:01.20Wardwe´re also always on a 4 class token, vs the 3 class tokens
23:01.25Stormscapepriest tokens are the best
23:01.29StormscapePaladin Priest Warlock
23:01.33Wardblizz says the droprate balances it out, but it doesn´t work like that
23:01.53Amarandeheh, actually priest tokens sucked for us
23:01.57Amarandebecause Paladin Priest Warlock
23:02.03StormscapeI think they should add a check where if none of the classes are in the raid, that token can't drop
23:02.10Amarandeand I think we usually had two paladins and two priests
23:02.15Stormscapewe kept getting Warrior Hunter Shaman tokens in DS last week
23:02.42Stormscapeand we're just like
23:02.43Amarandeand then Warrior Hunter Shaman sucked because we had like, one warrior (and not always), and basically never a hunter or shaman (this is also why we got inordinate amounts of ranged weapon and mail drops :P)
23:02.44Stormscape:|:|:|:|
23:02.57Amarandethe other one is mage druid deathknight rogue, then?
23:03.00StormscapeYup
23:03.07Amarandeyeah, that one was annoying for us, too
23:03.07Stormscapemages and rogues = get fucked
23:03.27StormscapeI wonder which token Monk will get put on
23:03.35AmarandeOur usual raid in ICC10 as I remember: Four druids, two priests, two pallies, a mage, and a DK
23:03.36StormscapeI hope it's Warrior Hunter Shaman
23:03.45AmarandeToken *hell*, heh
23:03.52StormscapeThen maybe somebody will actually use that token
23:03.53Stormscapewe have
23:03.55Stormscape1 raiding shaman
23:04.01Amarandeone type of token was useless and the other two each was needed by half the raid
23:04.02StormscapeHe's got full 397 of every set
23:05.07AmarandeOf course, it also meant that if we had a sole-survivor near-wipe, we had an 80% chance of it being someone who could get the raid back on its feet without having to walk all the way back
23:05.27Stormscapeas if you had to walk far in ICC anyway
23:05.42Wardat least LFR won´t have token issues in MoP
23:05.46Wardwith their new loot system
23:05.48WardI like it
23:05.49AmarandeStormscape: it meant no having to worry about accidents from failing at dodging val'kyr by moving too hastily
23:05.54WardI´m always lucky on rolls, but never on drops
23:05.57StormscapeHow does LFR work in Mists?
23:06.08Wardafter a boss dies, everybody gets to roll once
23:06.21Wardand the 5 highest rollers get an item specifically for their class
23:06.26Stormscapewat
23:06.26Wardso loot is generated after the roll
23:06.34Stormscapefucking Mists of Casualia
23:06.43AmarandeI thought everyone in the raid got loot, or did they change that?
23:06.57Wardnot everybody gets loot
23:07.11AmarandeStormscape: careful, now you're starting to sound like that guy in the thread about head enchants on the wow boards
23:07.12Wardbut there will also be more VP per boss and more VP items
23:07.15Wardso it´s easier to get loot
23:07.22StormscapeAmarande, they need to bring back more grinds
23:07.33Amarandethe one who QQed about how WoW was "degenerating into a bunch of minigames for people who can only play the game 3 hours a week" or some such
23:07.37Wardwhat they need to bring back, is the attunement
23:07.44AmarandeI noted that his character name, guild name, and server name were all extremely appropriate
23:07.46Wardold school like in SSC/TK/Hyjal
23:07.50Wardbefore it got nerfed
23:08.02Stormscapeevery raid needs an AQ opening
23:08.17Stormscapegrind until you cry
23:08.20Stormscapethen keep grinding
23:08.36AmarandeStormscape, this is WoW, not a Korean free-to-play MMO :)
23:09.09StormscapeNo, this isn't WoW. TBC was WoW. Vanilla was WoW. This is a creepy stalker who skinned WoW and is pretending it's WoW.
23:09.39Amarandeso, basically, you feel that it's right for people to have to treat the game as a second (or in this economy maybe even third) job in order to see content?
23:09.43Amarandethat doesn't seem quite right
23:10.06Amarandeespecially since so much of the content during an expansion is, indeed, the raids
23:10.34Amarandeit really doesn't make sense to make such a large percentage of a game's content be stuff that 5% of the player base reasonably has the opportunity to see
23:10.39Amarandewhich was so often the case in the days of yore
23:11.13WardAmarande has a point
23:11.16Mr_Rabiestime-wasting was a feature of classic wow, indeed, but i don't think much of the population actually enjoyed it
23:11.21WardI was slacking off in college during vanilla and tbc
23:11.26Wardnow I have a job
23:11.26StormscapeThe game is too easy. My warrior hit 85 and within 3 days was Top 10 in DPS in Dragon Soul. I wasn't carried through anything, I did a few Heroics, bought an offhand off the AH and suddenly bam it's a "raiding" character.
23:11.28Wardand another job
23:11.35WardI don´t have time for grinds
23:11.44Mr_Rabiesyou better be top 10
23:11.48Amarandewith the vanilla/TBC style, what happens to the people with jobs, then, or who get into the game too late in the expansion to catch up to the gear level that people on the server expect of them in a group, when they hit max level?
23:11.50Mr_Rabiesseeing as there's only 10 or 25 players D:
23:11.51*** join/#wowhead Primar (~nnscript@host86-175-212-169.wlms-broadband.com)
23:12.02WardStormscape, my rogue hit 85, I pvp´d for 2 days, got 390 pvp gear, got a muti pvp spec
23:12.06Wardand topped the dps in LFR
23:12.14Ward3 days after dinging
23:12.25Amarandethere's also, oddly enough, from what I saw of some reactions by women players and their friends to a Nihilum post which turned out to be a joke
23:12.25Mr_Rabiesgood
23:12.28Mr_Rabiesthat's how it should be
23:12.34Wardmeanwhile rogues in tier gear were straggling
23:12.42StormscapeMr_Rabies, it's too quick
23:12.42Amarandea case to suggest that vanilla/TBC style hardcore play can actually encourage, of all things, misogyny and sexism
23:12.44Mr_Rabiesget a character geared quickly and get ready to have fun
23:12.49StormscapeYou shouldn't be able to raid instantly
23:12.54Mr_Rabiessure you should
23:12.59StormscapeThere's no sense of progress or achievement
23:13.03Stormscapeif it's all handed to you instantly
23:13.04Mr_Rabiessure there is
23:13.14Mr_Rabiesworking your way to heroic madness is a lot of fun
23:13.20Wardthe only sense of achievement I have is that my mage is about to break 12k achievement points
23:13.26Wardbut even that they´re taking away in MoP
23:13.33StormscapeI already stopped playing my warrior because there's nothing to do
23:13.37Wardletting all the casuals with FotM alts get their points merged
23:13.43AmarandeWard: that's because rogues are built to turn targets into bacon, and PvP gear just makes them even better at that
23:13.47StormscapeNo sense in running Heroics her gear is good enough for Normal Mode
23:13.55Wardyeah that´s true
23:13.55Mr_Rabiescare to link your warrior?
23:14.03Stormscapehttp://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/zuluhed/Vordie/advanced
23:14.06Amarandeapparently, Nihilum once made some sort of post that said something like that women need not apply
23:14.24Amarandeit was some sort of internal joking banter between members that got posted publicly by accident from what I read
23:14.26Amarandebut
23:14.34Amarandeit did spark some pretty interesting discussions about that factor
23:14.57Mr_Rabies>haven't seen past hagara on LFR even
23:15.02Mr_Rabies>nothing left to do
23:15.04Mr_Rabieswhat
23:15.07Amarandenamely: someone said that in guilds dominated by the "stereotypical WoW gamer" type of man, just the presence of a woman can cause drama even if she doesn't actually do anything to provoke it
23:15.16Amarandethe extension of this in the design of an MMO is this:
23:15.29Amarandeyou encourage things to be too hardcore, what you're actually going to encourage is that very type of gamer
23:15.50Amarandebecause if you make it too hard for people with lives, interests, jobs, outside of WoW to get into content
23:15.57Amarandethen that's what's going to be left behind *able to* play the content
23:16.04Mr_Rabiesyou guys need better GMs if drama's a concern
23:16.06StormscapeMr_Rabies, wiping for weeks in LFR as people don't understand fight mechanics is not my idea of fun
23:16.27Mr_Rabiesso get a group with friends
23:16.47AmarandeI've never really seen it happen myself, but I can see the typical pimply faced basement teenager stereotype guild being rent by drama if it wasn't kept a strict boys' club
23:17.07StormscapeI've never met a good raid guild that hasn't had an age restriction
23:17.10Amarandethe point I was making though is, if you demand too many hours a week to be able to pull your weight in raiding
23:17.19Mr_Rabiescomplaining that it's too easy to gear up, then stopping before you're anywhere near what i'd consider geared up because it's gonna take too long is a bit messed up
23:17.24Amarandeyou're going to push the playerbase demographic away from mature players and towards that very sort of player
23:17.40Amarandewith the result that the design may actually come to justify bad behaviour
23:17.44StormscapeMr_Rabies, that gear is good enough for Normal mode DS
23:17.52StormscapeNo sense in throwing away gold in LFR
23:17.58Mr_Rabieswell do that then
23:18.06Stormscape...it's like talking to a wall.
23:18.22Mr_Rabiesi don't do LFR myself anymore because i've no reason to
23:18.45StormscapeI did LFR on my priest all of 4 times
23:18.57Stormscapethen I got 397 gear and didn't need it anymore
23:19.01Mr_Rabiesit's really meant to just get you some extra gear to supplant the gear you get from 5 mans
23:19.22Mr_Rabiesthen once you're good to go, do normal modes mostly
23:19.40Mr_Rabiesthen your raid group will be ready for heroics
23:19.52StormscapeAmarande, seriously though, I've never seen any decent raid guild that doesn't have a minimum age requirement
23:19.56Stormscapesome of them as high as 25
23:20.16Mr_Rabiesunderstandable
23:20.28Mr_Rabies25 may be a bit high
23:20.33StormscapeNo kidding
23:20.35Mr_Rabiesbut 18 makes sense
23:20.36Stormscapemy current guild is 20+
23:20.39Stormscapeno exceptions
23:21.06Mr_Rabiesours doesn't really have one, but if you're annoying you'll be booted
23:21.14Mr_Rabiesand our raid groups are generally the same every week
23:21.39StormscapeWe go through a lot of tanks
23:21.45Mr_Rabiesand if you're not able to make our raid times every week (or near that, emergencies are understandable) you won't be in the main raid group
23:21.53StormscapeAt some point, all of them will do something really fucking stupid like get in an argument with the GM
23:21.56Stormscapeand either leave or get kicked
23:22.11Mr_Rabiesyour GM needs to do better at recruitment then
23:22.22Mr_Rabiesthose types of people tend to be obvious before they even step foot in a raid
23:22.27Jammermaybe your GM should tank then :p
23:22.39StormscapeJammer he did multiple times in Wrath
23:22.42Stormscapeand he hated every second of it
23:22.48StormscapeHe would be swearing at us
23:23.02Mr_Rabieshe shouldn't do something he doesn't like
23:23.06StormscapeHe's a very hateful person
23:23.12Mr_Rabiesi made the guild pay for 2x reforges last time they made me tank :v
23:23.21Mr_Rabies2000g or so
23:23.24StormscapeYeah it's his alt.
23:23.35Wardwe recruit 18+
23:23.44Wardwe have two or three members below the limit
23:23.55Mr_Rabiesyeah, it makes sense, 18+ year olds tend to have scheduling conflicts more often
23:23.56Wardbut mostly those are the younger siblings of some of our female members
23:24.17Mr_Rabieser
23:24.20Mr_Rabiesless often
23:24.32Wardwe have this 15 year old dude who´s the little bro of our healing officer, he plays a kickass holy paladin
23:24.40Wardbig bro trained him
23:24.41Mr_Rabiesif mom says you can't use the computer because your grades suck, it's not really good for the raid
23:24.52AmarandeMr_Rabies: I would expect 18+ year olds to have scheduling conflicts more often
23:24.56Wardwe also have a lot of couples in the guild
23:24.59Wardat least 6
23:25.11Amarandeemployers aren't likely to take too kindly to people saying they can't work this, this, and this day because of gaming hours
23:25.41StormscapeThat's why they join a raid guild that fits their days off
23:25.42Stormscapejeez
23:25.46Stormscapethat's why less conflicts
23:25.52Wardin my company we regard gaming the same as any personal social activity you might wanna do after work
23:26.02Wardsome people go to a party, or to their sportsclub
23:26.04AmarandeStormscape: unless you work a job like retail where frequently you're forced to work wildly varying hours that differ from week to week
23:26.04Wardsome people game
23:26.29BlackNethttp://wetlands.simplyaquatics.com/v/knife-making/anvils/IMG_6703.JPG.html new hammer and new tongs! fuck yea!
23:26.34StormscapeI once told my boss on Wednesdays I might be up to half an hour late
23:26.35Stormscape"why"
23:26.38Stormscape"world of warcraft"
23:26.44Stormscape"okay as long as you're not killing hookers"
23:26.53Amarandewhich for instance is why I didn't really get to raid until ICC
23:27.02Mr_Rabies<Amarande> Stormscape: unless you work a job like retail where frequently you're forced to work wildly varying hours that differ from week to week
23:27.09StormscapeMr_Rabies, I work retail
23:27.10Mr_Rabiesthese type of people likely wouldn't be in our main group
23:27.19Amarandeduring TBC, my work schedule wasn't as reliably towards the same time of day as it is now
23:27.20Stormscapewell
23:27.20Stormscapeonly sorta
23:27.34Mr_Rabiesunfortunately, a steady schedule is necessary to progress at any kind of sane rate
23:27.38WardI was in college when I was playing hardcore
23:27.42Wardand I was doing my internship
23:27.44Stormscapemy hours change every week, but I told my boss which days of the week I'll be half hour late
23:27.49Wardwhich was solid 9 to 6
23:27.50Stormscapeand he doesn't care
23:27.51Amarandenow except for Sundays I only rarely work in the evenings, so if I choose to raid I have much more availability
23:27.51Stormscapecause fuck
23:27.53Stormscapeonly 30 minutes
23:27.55Mr_Rabieswe're not pushing progression (we're only 6/8 heroic at this point) but changing roster every week basically ruins all progression
23:28.14StormscapeSo should I order pizza
23:28.20StormscapeI've been eating a lot of pizza lately
23:28.21Wardthose were exhausting days, leave for work at 8 AM, get home at 7 PM, eat, raid til 1 AM, sleep for 6 hours, and then reset
23:28.23Ward5 days a week
23:28.33WardI kept that up for about 4 months
23:28.38Wardduring TBC
23:28.39*** join/#wowhead Primar|Home (~nnscript@host86-175-209-98.wlms-broadband.com)
23:28.55Mr_Rabiesi used to raid 6-8 hours a night in high school :D
23:28.59Mr_Rabiesnever again
23:29.02Mr_Rabiesi'm glad those days are over
23:29.14Mr_Rabiesit was fun then, but i'm glad that's no longer a requirement
23:29.17Amarandeyeah, no more staying up past 12-1 for me for raiding either
23:29.29Stormscapeduring TBC the only reason I wasn't in the top progression guild on my server was because I couldn't raid until 2am
23:29.43Stormscapethey spent 2 expansions trying to recruit me
23:29.53Mr_Rabiesi got so burned out on raiding in classic that i barely raided in tbc
23:30.04Stormscapeyeah I started playing in 2.0
23:30.06Mr_Rabiesnow i'm having more fun than i've had in years
23:30.28Mr_Rabiesbecause i'm not dealing with 20+ people who can't play their damned class anymore
23:30.29Stormscapelooks like I might need to replace my mousepad soon
23:30.33Mr_Rabiesshit's refined
23:30.38StormscapeI can't stand 10 man raiding
23:30.39StormscapeSo boring
23:30.46Mr_Rabiesi don't use a mousepad, but i once had a ratzpad
23:30.50Mr_Rabiesit was nice
23:31.03Stormscapefor me the mousepad is so my wrist doesn't hurt from sitting on the desk for hours
23:31.06Stormscapemousepads are nice and soft
23:31.15Mr_Rabies10 man is a lot of fun, because your group is really tight knit
23:31.27Mr_Rabiesthere are problems when one person is fucking up though, since there's way less room for errors in 10m
23:31.29StormscapeI've never found 10 man raiding to be very... exciting.
23:32.18Mr_Rabies10 man can tend to turn into 9 people being a jerk to 1, but if your raid leader is any good it should be a non-issue
23:32.46StormscapeI just can't find 10 man raiding exciting at all. It feels too empty
23:33.00StormscapeNothing's really going on
23:33.09Mr_Rabiesit's more intense for me
23:33.18StormscapeI once feel asleep during a 10 man raid
23:33.24Stormscapenobody noticed
23:33.25Mr_Rabies25 has so many more chances for you to fuck up that it's not any fun to me
23:33.37Stormscapesee that's exactly why it's fun for me
23:33.58Jamash10 is the best because you can do it in a much smaller guild
23:33.58Mr_Rabiesi play softcore hours, but i want the time inside the raid to be semi-hardcore at least
23:35.06Mr_Rabiesi certainly don't miss 40 mans though
23:35.17Mr_Rabiestoo many people look at older content through rose-tinted glasses
23:36.02Mr_Rabiestbc's attunement/gear grind was terrible, and part of why i only did karazhan and gruul
23:36.16*** join/#wowhead JunkHead (JunkHead@173-16-67-182.client.mchsi.com)
23:36.33StormscapeI was almost done my TK attunement when they removed it
23:36.38Stormscapethat actually really pissed me off
23:36.49Mr_Rabieswrath did the grind a bit better, but it was still easy to get caught in a pit of non-progression
23:36.50Corganrolleyes
23:37.09Corganattunements were dumb
23:37.15StormscapeMr_Rabies, the problem with Cataclysm is there's no progression
23:37.17Mr_Rabieswhere you couldn't progress because your gear wasn't good enough to get into any raids people ran
23:37.19Stormscapethere's just "the current raid"
23:37.28Stormscapeeverything else sits abandoned
23:37.30Mr_Rabiesyeah
23:37.32Mr_Rabiesas it should be
23:37.36StormscapeNo that's terrible
23:37.39Corganno, it's not
23:37.50Mr_Rabiesforcing people to gear up in the older raids means anyone that missed a tier is done for the rest of the expansion
23:37.51Corganoutdated content bro
23:37.54Mr_Rabiesbecause no one ran older raids anyway
23:37.57Corgan^
23:37.58AmarandeMr_Rabies: that was in LK largely the fault of a company called Master Games International, Inc
23:38.05Mr_Rabiesso you'd just have fewer and fewer people progressing each tier
23:38.05AmarandeLet's all point at MGI and extend our left middle finger
23:38.44Amarandeactually, plenty of groups ran kara in TBC even up to the end
23:38.52Mr_Rabiesnot on my realm
23:38.53StormscapeThere was never a shortage of people running old content during TBC and Wrath
23:38.59Mr_Rabiesbasically if you weren't in the top tier, you didn't raid
23:39.02AmarandeI think it was T5 that mostly became the black hole, and even then probably not too often because people wanted the mount
23:39.03Stormscapein fact it was easier to find old content raids during TBC
23:39.06Mr_Rabiesbecause you could not gear up
23:39.27StormscapeSo you're blaming the problems of your shitty realm on the game
23:39.29Amarandeand if you hit 70 as DPS late in the expansion you just didn't get to do anything
23:39.43Mr_Rabiesit's a terrible way to do things
23:39.44Amarandebecause you needed raid gear to go to heroics and heroic gear to get ready for raids
23:40.08Mr_Rabiesi did 5 mans until about ZA, then quit for 2 years
23:40.17Mr_Rabiesbecause i couldn't get into raids
23:40.20Amarandeand crafted gear wasn't as robust as it is now
23:40.30StormscapeI found it so much easier to get into pug raids in TBC
23:40.32Stormscapethan in Wrath
23:40.32Amarandeunless you specifically took the one profession that matched your character's armour type
23:40.35Mr_Rabieswhat
23:40.42Mr_Rabiespug raiding was way, way easier in wrath
23:40.43Corganlol
23:40.45Mr_Rabieswe had like
23:40.47Stormscapehaha no
23:40.51Corganstorm is trolling
23:40.53Mr_Rabies10-12 pugs a week
23:40.55Stormscapeevery day: spam for Kara and Gruul's Lair
23:40.57Stormscapeall day long
23:41.00Stormscapeduring Wrath: nothing
23:41.05Stormscapemaybe occasional Naxx
23:41.08Corganrofl
23:41.10Stormscapethat inevitable failed at thaddius
23:41.10Corgantrolling so hard
23:41.18AmarandeStormscape: until late in the expansion and then they wanted you to have heroic 25 gear to run normal 10
23:41.22Mr_Rabiespeople were running naxx up until the week cata came out every week on my realm
23:41.25StormscapeAmarande, people always say that
23:41.28Stormscapebut I never saw that
23:41.28Stormscapeever
23:41.29Amarandeenforced thanks to Master Games Int'l and their piece of crap called GS
23:41.37Mr_Rabieswhat's MGI, Amarande
23:41.40Mr_Rabiesi see chess things
23:41.55AmarandeMr_Rabies: the idiots that inflicted GearScore(R) (yes, it's a registered trademark) on the community
23:42.08Corganrolleyes
23:42.09Mr_Rabiescan't really blame gearscore
23:42.11StormscapeI've never actually seen somebody use gearscore in a serious context
23:42.14Corgangearscore was a good addition to the game
23:42.16Corganif used properly
23:42.16Mr_Rabiesblame the community
23:42.28Mr_Rabiesgearscore just made it easier to tell how geared someone was
23:42.29Mr_Rabiesthat being said
23:42.34StormscapeMr_Rabies, not really
23:42.42AmarandeStormscape: most PUGs used it as the primary yardstick for whether you got in
23:42.46Stormscapeas a warrior could wear full healer plate and get a huge gearscore
23:42.49Corgansigh
23:43.00AmarandeStormscape: or PvP instead of PvE gear
23:43.03Mr_Rabiesi geared up to clear portions of heroic ICC between may 2010 and about august
23:43.04Corganif used properly
23:43.15StormscapeAmarande, never saw that ever
23:43.16Corganalso, on the subject of pugs
23:43.16Amarandewhich is still a problem with cata, in fact it may be a little exacerbated with cata since they've consistently given PvP gear higher ilvls now
23:43.23CorganI pugged heroic 10 LK
23:43.27Corganbefore the cata patch
23:43.30Stormscape>they've consistently given PvP gear higher ilvls now
23:43.32Stormscapelolwat
23:43.36Amarande(I'm guessing to get the stat budge in order to fit the ever inflating amounts of Resilience Rating needed?)
23:43.43Mr_Rabiesyeah
23:43.56Mr_Rabiesit's not really a big deal for most classes though, as long as ALL your gear isn't pvp gear
23:44.03Mr_Rabiesskill trumps gear in cata
23:44.06Mr_Rabiesthat's how it should be
23:44.18Mr_Rabiesgear's just a means to an end now
23:44.20Mr_Rabiesas it should be
23:44.31Amarandenow one thing I've pondered that might be an interesting idea
23:44.41Amarandewould be for them to just go the LOTRO skirmish route for handing gear out
23:44.55Mr_Rabieswith the exception of normal mode DS, raiding in cata has been a lot more skill-driven
23:44.57Mr_Rabiesand a lot less gear-driven
23:45.01Stormscapeforgive my ignorance, but I haven't seen PvP gear with higher iLevels than PvE gear
23:45.06Stormscapecould you show me an example?
23:45.12Stormscapecourse, I don't PvP so there's that.
23:45.13Mr_Rabiesare you even playing the same game as us, Stormscape
23:45.21Mr_Rabiesare you sure you're not thinking of like
23:45.33Mr_Rabieswizard 101 or something
23:45.39StormscapeWell I don't see any PvP weapons with iLevels higher than 416
23:45.43StormscapeI see a bunch of 410s
23:45.45Stormscapebut that's it
23:45.58Stormscapeand 410 is same as Heroic DS
23:46.12Mr_Rabiesheroic
23:46.53Corganlol, the 410 pvp gear requires a shitton of work to get
23:46.58Stormscapethat too
23:47.17CorganAnd they're equivalent to pve gear
23:47.20Corganthey're not overinflated
23:47.37Amarandeapparently, basic arena epics have been equal ilvl to the concurrent Heroic tier, rather than to the concurrent normal tier
23:47.45Corganblinks
23:47.49Stormscapeand the armour appears to be 403
23:47.51Stormscapenot even 410
23:47.52Corganreally, please point one out to me
23:47.56Stormscapeso the PvP gear is actually lower level
23:47.59Mr_Rabiesit's not really that big of a deal
23:48.02Corganshow me the BASIC arena epics
23:48.09Mr_Rabiesthe pvp gear isn't as bad as people make it out to be
23:48.16Corganbasic != heroic tier 11 pvp gear
23:48.18Mr_Rabieswith the exception of tanks and possibly healers
23:48.20Corganor, not heroic
23:48.25Corganelite
23:48.26Amarandeat least if I remember how it was originally planned to be.
23:48.28Corganhttp://www.wowhead.com/item=73414
23:48.30Amarandeah, it was changed, then
23:48.42CorganIt was never that way
23:48.45Amarandewhen Cata came out, I remember reading on item levels that the PvP gear would have higher ilvl than the raid gear available at the same time
23:49.02Mr_Rabiesit tends to have higher ilvl than normal modes
23:49.06Mr_Rabiesthat's okay
23:49.14Mr_Rabiesby a few ilvls
23:49.20Stormscape397 is actually lower than normal modes if you get a reg Madness weapon
23:49.28Mr_Rabiesmadness is an exception
23:49.33Mr_Rabiesit's the final boss of an expansion
23:49.41Stormscapeand what a letdown of a final boss
23:49.42Stormscapejesus christ
23:49.51Mr_Rabiesmadness was pretty damned tough until the nerfs started
23:50.04Mr_Rabiesit was fun, way more fun than ragnaros
23:50.10Mr_Rabiesragnaros was just a waste of time
23:50.17Stormscape>implying any Vanilla bosses were fun
23:50.22Corgangod damn you people are your cynical thoughts
23:50.27Corganand your*
23:50.29Mr_Rabiesyes
23:50.42Mr_Rabiesbecause i'm obviously talking about mc's ragnaros
23:51.06Mr_Rabieswe didn't even pull heroic ragnaros once, because the fight took so long on normal, we just didn't really even care, lol
23:51.22Mr_Rabieswe cleared all of FL heroic in about 2 hours by the end of the tier, except rag
23:51.35Mr_Rabieswe just killed him on normal if at all
23:51.52Mr_Rabiesit's fun to learn, but after that it's tedious
23:51.57Mr_Rabiesthe rest of FL is a lot of fun though
23:51.58CeirnianOooo, busy day.
23:53.01AmarandeStormscape: isn't Madness mostly just a letdown because Spine is tough as nails?
23:53.26Mr_Rabieshe's talking lfr or normal or something
23:53.27StormscapeMadness is a let down because it's just a really convuluted whack a mole
23:53.35Corganblols
23:53.46Amarandealthough Spine being tough as nails is not all that odd as a paradigm
23:54.08Amarandeit's not all that uncommon in a game for the next-to-last encounter to be the real doozy
23:54.47Mr_Rabieshow far progressed is your most progressed character, Stormscape?
23:55.00Stormscape3/8 H
23:56.43Mr_Rabiesthen why are you complaining that it's too easy to gear up? it's not like you're done progressing yet
23:57.01Mr_Rabiesif it's just not fun to you anymore then it is what it is, but don't blame the wrong thing
23:58.35CorganLOL what
23:58.45CorganStorm, you're saying madness is a letdown and you havn't even done it on heroic yet?
