19:32.51JunkHeadhttp://mop.wowhead.com/achievement=6626
19:32.53JunkHeadthis also
19:54.36Jammeryet another piece to own with in low level pvp :p
20:01.35JunkHeadI'm happy, since I like collecting heirloom gear.
20:01.53JunkHeadMy mage got the scythe off of lord ahune today too.
20:01.58JunkHeadand yesterday i got the enchant.
20:02.04JunkHeadstill no pet though.
20:02.21JammerI assume the heirloom legs will just money like all other guild heirlooms
20:02.31JunkHeadFrom the short video I saw...
20:02.32Jammer*cost money
20:02.32JunkHeadYeah
20:02.34JunkHeadlike..
20:02.45JunkHeadyou get the guild achievement, and then go to the guild vendor
20:03.03JunkHeadbut from the video i saw, guy was a hunter, and it looked like only one pair of leggings.
20:03.07JunkHeadprobably mail.
20:03.22JunkHeadso, you might be limited to buying YOUR CLASS's armor type
20:03.31JunkHeadNot sure though.
20:03.34Jammerthey got some gear filtering on vendors now I think
20:03.52Jammeryou should be able to purchase them all I'd think
20:04.08JunkHeadProbably. the guy in the video did say he couldn't "defilter hunter only"
20:04.31Jammeryeah not sure if the show all is implemented yet
20:04.41Jammercoming soon(tm)
20:04.50JunkHeadim not ina  guild on beta
20:04.53JunkHeadso i cant check.

20:40.20Amarandeso, have they figured out yet how low a population in a zone will trigger cross-realm guests?
20:40.43Amarandelike, is it going to be "every zone should at least have a few folks in it" or more like "we want you to have to wait for respawns regularly like when BC/WotLK/etc. were new?"
20:50.53raspyweeee
20:53.00JunkHeadI havent really paid much attention to the cross realm zones
20:54.10JunkHeadI'm doing Kara mount runs.:\
20:57.00*** join/#wowhead Ceirnian (~est@host188-248-dynamic.51-79-r.retail.telecomitalia.it)
20:57.28JammerAmarande: I assume the low level zones not gonna be that popular that you'd have to really wait for respawns even if they combined all realms :-)
20:58.49AmarandeJammer: I'm wondering more if the mostly strict quest circuit pattern I tend to follow to optimise leveling is going to become a thing of the past with MoP because the xrealm zones will make it a regular thing for the mobs you need to be down when you would be passing through, due to high zone populations
20:59.02AmarandeIt's a really good thing that escort quests give you your own copy of the NPC now. :)
20:59.25Amarandeat least, except for Eversong/Ghostlands/*myst Islands and 60-80 zones
21:01.14Jammerwe'll see how that works out in the end, but seems likely they'll be trying to increase zone population quite drastically
21:01.49Jammeris quite stupid design for quest npcs be something you have to wait for to respawn
21:06.39JunkHeadthis mount will probably never drop for me.:(
21:06.54JunkHeadBut dammit i'm gonan do this every week until mop come sout.
21:06.56JunkHeadAnd after!
21:06.59JunkHeadgrr!
21:14.13JammerJunkHead: grind it with more characters!
21:16.42JunkHeadI am.
21:17.17JunkHeadI think I'm on my 6th character so far.
21:21.11Jammer50% chance to get it in 70 runs
21:23.33*** join/#wowhead Ketho (~ngsc@ip565063bd.direct-adsl.nl)
21:24.04Jammerhaving drops guaranteed at some point would be nice
21:24.14JunkHeadYeah it would.
21:24.27Jammerlike say drop chance is 1% then if you do 100 runs WITHOUT getting the drop you would then get it
21:24.55JunkHeadwell, the mount is supposed to be 1% according to wowhead.
21:25.07JunkHeadso it's not the worst droprate
21:25.12Jammernope
21:25.21Jammerthink most mounts are probably around that
21:26.04Jammerbut 100 run is only 63.4% probability to get it
21:26.04JunkHeadhahaha
21:26.08Jammerdid you get it? :P
21:26.13JunkHeadi got the "too many instances recently" error
21:26.24Jammeryeah :(
21:26.31JunkHeadi forgot about that.:P
21:26.40JunkHeadBut.. 6 runs so far this week.
21:26.46janesome mounts are supposed to be more than 1% but they feel so rare..
21:26.48JunkHeadNot sure how many more I can do.
21:26.59janemy madness kill last night dropped 3 mounts though
21:27.05Jammerwhat
21:27.08janeand ofc the newest raiders won them -_-
21:27.17JunkHeadI can't do those types of mounts.
21:27.18jane1x heroic mode guaranteed drop and 2 of the blazing drake
21:27.23JunkHeadI just try for the older ones.
21:27.26Jammerhow can it drop 2x blazing
21:27.32janei don't know, but we got two blazing last night
21:27.41Jammer25m?
21:27.49janei think its like the second time ever ive seen it on 25, i've also seeen it 2x in 10m
21:28.02Jammeroh you have seen it in 10m also?
21:28.05Jammerwell that's just weird
21:28.08jane1 individually, not 2 drop at the same time in 10 man
21:28.19Jammerah
21:28.47Jammermaybe 25m has like 2 separate drop chances for it
21:28.54Jammerto make up for the fact it's more people
21:29.13janehmm if so, ive never seen it drop more often
21:30.34janesome comments seem to suggest the drop rate in heroic for blazing is higher
21:30.41Jammerlol how can Life-Binder's handmaiden be only 47% drop chance in wowhead
21:30.53Jammerisn't it guaranteed for heroic?
21:31.09janei thought so
21:32.07janei was wondering where you saw 47%..hah i see 1.9% on the mount page
21:32.17janeprobably includes regular kills
21:32.44Jammerhttp://www.wowhead.com/npc=56173#drops:mode=heroic25
21:32.58AmarandeJammer: yeah, it's pretty surprising with exponentialities
21:33.00janeyeah i just saw that
21:33.07janeand blazing has a higher drop rate on heroic
21:33.14Amarandelike apparently, the chance of a given play 3 lotto number not coming out at all in ten years is actually greater than 1%
21:33.37janeis blade of the unmaker actually good for anyone?
21:33.42Jammerno :P
21:33.52janei was so sad we de'd a heroic madness weapon
21:33.57AmarandeBlade of the Unmaker sounds like something out of Planescape AD&D heh
21:35.51janehmmm. life-binder's handmaiden is supposed to drop 2x in heroic 25. i could have sworn we saw two blazing and only one handmaiden
21:37.31janestupid guild activity doesn't show mounts
21:37.57Jammerask in guild which mounts dropped :p
21:38.22janewell i remember who got them, one person has handmaiden, one person has blazing, and the last person didn't learn the mount they got
21:38.24janesigh :P
21:38.28janeill figure it out later
21:38.59janei've never seen experiment 12b
21:39.24janeactually wait, maybe on an alt in my old guild's alt ds runs. the super ugly color one
21:42.40Amarandespeaking of mounts, Icewolf26's comment on the winged guardian cracks me up
21:42.43Amarande"I hope the next mount you can buy is a flying Kodo :<" ...
21:42.51Amarandetries to wrap my mind around the idea of a flying kodo
21:43.55Jammerone friend got the Ragnaros and alysrazor on one alt, 12b on another alt ... he'll be so happy with account bound mounts
21:47.37NoxyI had a good birthday. :D both mounts dropped in our guild raid, last week.
21:48.18NoxyI won one, was given the other
21:48.26AmarandeIt's still a happy memory to think of the time my warlock got the mount on her first Rivendare kill
21:48.35AmarandeWith the only thing to mar the occasion being the fact that she's Horde
21:49.47janeJammer: as much as i love my guild's unofficial gm, she is SUCH a mount whore and has the luckiest rolls on mounts that I've ever seen. people were just assuming she was gonna win handmaiden last night
21:50.09janeshe got blazing on one alt i think, next day in fl she got the only alys mount i've seen drop
21:51.32AmarandeOf course, since cata it will now be easier than ever to run dead strath over and over and over :)
21:52.05janethat mount never drops :P
21:52.46Jammerwonder if anyone ever passes the raid mounts unless they already have one
21:52.56Jammermost of them quite ugly and people will never use them but yet everyone want them :p
21:53.21NoxyWhy unofficial?
21:53.24NoxyGirls can be GMs too.
21:53.26Noxypouts
21:53.56janeNoxy: the actual gm is a friend she's played with for years that she made gm
21:54.05janeshe's like, the hand behind the gm :p
21:54.07janeand she may as well be
21:54.10janebut she doesn't want to
21:55.46Amarandeyeah it seems like the pinnacle of mount design was the netherdrakes
21:56.06janenow that i think about it, this guild is pretty loaded with women
21:56.06NoxyOic.
21:56.09AmarandeI got a few Lich King mounts on my DK and warlock and went back to the netherdrakes
21:56.13NoxySo is mine. :D
21:56.42NoxyI'm a lady, and I've always been the GM, had two female officers most of the time
21:56.54Noxyabout half my main raiders are ladies.
21:57.06janethe gm-in-name guy got really annoyed that i put in my app i was looking for no bullshit and zero tolerance to discrimination guilds and thought i was uptight..urg
21:57.29janebut she understood me
21:57.31janeweee
21:57.37NoxyI've had one male officer since the start, recently made my husband an officer so he could manage our bank with his OCD-ness.
21:58.16NoxyInstead of Halcyon, a guild name suggestion I got while we were forming it, was "We have Vaginas!"
21:58.30janenot sure why it takes special consideration to make sure a raiding environment isn't full of bullshit though
21:58.47NoxyIt doesnt take much to rub people the wrong way.
21:58.54AmarandeI think the last guild name I suggested to someone forming a new one was "Galileo Figaro." Not sure if he used it, but it sounded magnifico.
21:58.56NoxyIt takes more care to make sure that friction doesnt occur.
21:59.06NoxyIts more to do with the types of people and personalities.
21:59.12janeyeah but people go out of their way to make toxic environments sometimes
21:59.14AmarandePretty much, also, look for anything Dave Barry suggests might be a good name for a rock band, they probably work for guilds too
21:59.28NoxyAnd those are the people you must not tolerate.
21:59.31janelike the latest new raiders love to say rape and nigger and im just like...stop it
21:59.39janethat's dumb, gay isn't an insult
21:59.46janedidn't heal them, moved out of their group
21:59.48hyljeoh look internet shock humor
21:59.54NoxyRofl.
22:00.07NoxyWhereas my guildies are kind of the opposite I guess? We're all very sick minded.
22:00.11Amarandejane, would they bring that lame Anal [link] fad into group/raid chat too?
22:00.26janethey would if it weren't for the fact that they'll be put on ignore by officers
22:00.28NoxyAmarande: My guildies started that in trade, once.
22:00.34AmarandeI really don't know why that fad hasn't died
22:00.42janeim fine with sick humor, but im just so tired of people using stupid words
22:00.50hyljeAmarande: because trade chat gets worked up on it every time
22:00.57AmarandeWhen I was on my way thru UC on my death knight the other night in order to head to Org to visit the justice points vendor, it was going on
22:01.12AmarandeI remember seeing it in Ysera Alliance trade chat last night, too, when I was stopping by Exodar for a moment
22:01.20hyljesome master trolls repeat the same troll opening as they leave for raiding, only to return to the same argument later
22:01.34janeyou're so boring if the worst insult you can come up with is "you're gay"... oh why yes i am. thanks for describing me? you're male. you're an idiot. you're welcome.
22:02.27Amarandeas a ponderable, was that as frequent with raiders during Lich King?
22:02.59AmarandeI've only joined friendly guilds, so I don't know really much about the bad ones
22:03.20Amarandebasically, pondering if that "designed for antisocial" factor I thought of the other day here might in fact be true
22:03.31janeim sure some guilds don't care. the ones i've been in for the most part have been good
22:03.34Amarandei.e., if the more difficult the raid content, the more likely you are to run into such people
22:03.38janejust these new raiders driving me up a wall
22:04.03Amarande(because the more difficult the content, the more time must be dedicated to learning it, therefore unfortunately also tending to filter out the mature people more than otherwise ...)
22:04.44janeI don't know, I like this guild otherwise cause half the regulars have raided with each other for years
22:04.46janethey're awesome
22:05.00janethey have sick senses of humor and i love them
22:05.41janemature doesn't have to mean boring
22:06.22AmarandeI know, but you said people were abusing the R and N words
22:06.24janebut yeah the new guys. keep on saying shit like "nigger i'm gonna fuck u up" in your macro, and wonder why your designated healer for h zon'ozz or hagara isn't healing you. :d
22:06.31Amarandewhich usually is a prima facie sign of immaturity
22:06.36janeyeah, the new ones
22:06.42janethe ones that nobody likes. im not sure why they're still raiding with us
22:07.11Amarandegranted, when I've played a healer, I might not even notice a remark like that during combat
22:07.21janei was gone from wow for ONE WEEK. the healer that subbed in for me was just like "these new guys are awful"
22:07.23Amarandesince I tend to very single-mindedly focus on the green bars (and making sure I didn't walk into fire)
22:07.39*** join/#wowhead nebula169 (~nebula@c-75-72-138-186.hsd1.mn.comcast.net)
22:07.47janefirst day raiding with them, dumb macros, keep saying they're gonna rape bosses, keep standing in stupid shit, keep spamming stuff in party chat nobody wants to read..
22:07.53Amarandealthough, I do tend to let some types of player die, usually because they're people who won't stop standing in fire
22:07.55janelol you can't zone out like that :p
22:08.18Amarandeand then after battle I notice that they complained about the lack of heals :P
22:08.48janewell if it helps. the biggest reason why they die is cause they're not fucking paying attention
22:08.55Amarandelike, maybe if you didn't insist on standing in front of every bloody flaming drake as a DPS DK :P
22:09.02janeits not my problem if you're assigned to the yellow marker for zonozz adds, and you're ACROSS THE ENTIRE ROOM instead
22:09.11Sephirothgreat
22:09.13janecause you don't fucking know how to read what the GM says
22:09.13Amarandewhich is just double dumb, one, fire bad, two, being in front of mobs as melee DPS = bad
22:09.16Sephirothzam's login form is busted.
22:09.18janeabout where to stand and what to kill
22:09.48AmarandeI deleted my healing priest recently though
22:09.59janeand when you are, frankly, my main concerns are 1. keeping myself alive, 2. making sure other healers have mana, and 3. making sure dps that actually listen stay alive
22:10.06Amarandedecided to focus on a smaller set of characters atm, and hadn't played the healer much at all in recent years (she actually had only reached 71)
22:10.15janepriest is sooo fun though
22:10.30Amarandeyeah, sometimes I even managed to keep that terribad DK alive in those UK runs
22:10.45janefor the last week my priest keeps getting dumped into the holiday boss with groups that wiped for lack of heals
22:10.50Amarandewhich, however, is not because he was playing his role acceptably, but simply because disc is just ludicrously overpowered at the levels that you do UK at
22:10.57janesmite heals = #1 or 2 on dps and everyone is alive at the end XD
22:11.21janedisc is crazy
22:11.32janei leveled my priest in cata with smite spec. it was great until like 82
22:11.48janebut that was cause disc was pretty broken in the beginning and mana/healing was a problem overall
22:12.04Amarandemostly, though, except for my death knight who was my pride and joy during late LK, I tend to play RDPS
22:12.38JunkHeadBack to Kara mount farming!
22:12.44JunkHead7 characters so far
22:12.50AmarandeI find the more laid-back demands of RDPS to tend to be less stressful and more fun
22:13.05Amarandefollow the right target, watch your omen, don't stand in fire, interrupt/CC if it's a fight where you need to, and that's about that
22:13.08janedps is not laid back lol
22:13.34janetanking is about as laid back as it gets
22:13.51janebut it's not fun to me
22:14.04JunkHeadI'd say... tanking is the most fun.
22:14.10JunkHeadBut it's not always the easiest.
22:14.15JunkHeadDepends on the fight of course.
22:14.17Amarandeyeah, like when you get bads for DPS, like ranged that don't pay attention and pull the wrong mob
22:14.22janehealing is a nice compromise in the middle for me, i still have meters and stuff to think about, but as long as people don't die to my mistake it's all good
22:14.25Amarandeand depending on your class and the current patch, it gets highly stressful
22:14.42Amarandee.g., Halls of Stone heroic back in 3.x on my death knight, when I tried tanking
22:14.51AmarandeI couldn't really do a damn thing when the ranged pulled the wrong mob, due to resource starvation
22:15.00JunkHeadDK tankign is something i cant do
22:15.08Amarandesee, as tank, the standard thing to do is to lay down DnD and spread your diseases among the targets as well
22:15.10janeit's not easy if the fight mechanics are hard, but most of the difficulty is in bad players, not the actual act of tanking
22:15.28Amarandehowever, back in 3.x when DnD cost one of every rune type, after that, you had ALL your runes on cooldown for several seconds
22:15.47Amarandeand if the ranged pulled something you didn't intend to add to the pull, you didn't really have much of any way to grab them
22:16.13janewell that's their problem XD
22:16.50Amarandewell, it's my problem when the mob rips through too much of the group or gets the healer and then I die and have to pay a repair bill :P
22:17.05Amarandeat least they made cloth/mail/leather repair bills on a par with plate in LK
22:17.18janewell it becomes your problem, but see? the difficulty is someone doing the wrong thing :p
22:17.21Amarandeback in BC it was "the tank gets screwed, all the time"
22:17.43janeanyone remember halls of reflection? jesus christ
22:17.55Amarandesince if the healer died because someone was bad, you died, and everyone else paid a lower repair bill than you did (unless you were a bear) since they were wearing flimsy cloth or leather or mail while your plate cost way more to repair
22:17.57janethat place was just amazing for discovering bad players
22:18.15AmarandeI remember reading of people quitting playing a character altogether for lengthy periods due to plate repair bills in the day
22:18.33Amarandeyeah, I remember HoR
22:18.54AmarandeI ran it quite a lot, actually. Sometimes I was called the bad, although I'm not sure how much was me and how much was the tanking
22:19.12Amarandemy worst habit tended to be to use SoC overzealously on my warlock during the waves and catching aggro because the tank couldn't keep up
22:19.25Amarandehm
22:19.26janei eventually discovered the hallway strat (as opposed to the corner strat) and that made such a difference when tanks agreed to it
22:19.33Amarandeactually that might be something I should have expected from the loot
22:19.39AmarandeIIRC, HoR had a lot of tank loot in it?
22:20.02janedon't remember
22:20.05Amarandewhich should have been a tip-off that the tank might be a little less geared than the rest, if they need the loot from it
22:20.14janeit was never a matter of gear
22:20.20janejust so often dumb tanks
22:20.25Amarandeand generally, people hated to do HoR and would bail on it at Oculus rates if they ended up in it randomly and didn't need anything from there
22:20.39janelike i remember my then-guild leader was telling me to stop healing him when waves came out
22:20.42Amarandewhich was a real pain on my warlock at one point
22:20.52AmarandeIn order to upgrade one particular slot at the time, the best choice was REGULAR HoR
22:21.00janelike okay, you get two shot by mobs. you're telling me not to heal until you say so? really?
22:21.12AmarandeI think the queue for that was usually about an hour as DPS
22:21.21AmarandeI actually was able to bust a couple of farming bots while waiting for that to pop
22:21.25janealso you have no abilities to deal with the fact that i had a single rejuv left over on you between pulls? i can't wipe my hots off you
22:21.42janelol HoR was horrible. oculus was horrible.
22:21.54janenowadays it's za/zg that everyone seems to bail on, even though the bosses are nerfed and you don't ahve to do all of them
22:21.54raspyi liked hor
22:22.01janeits good if you had a good group
22:22.07janebut the same is true of all those dungeons
22:22.14Amarandepretty easy to put in a very definite bot report of something around 99.999% confidence when you've had 40+ minutes of nothing but circling 'round Sholazar farming saronite and titanium (my lock is a JC/miner) waiting for the damned queue
22:22.31raspymy priest is that
22:22.50raspybut i need to figure out a good rotation on him
22:23.15Amarandejane: I expect at this point in the expansion ZA and ZG being a little higher tier is bad for their popularity
22:23.21Amarandeeveryone has at least T12 gear from justice points now
22:23.27janeoh you know what else is bad? grim batol
22:23.35raspyi love that place
22:23.42Amarandeso the only reason anyone runs any of the heroics is for justice and valor and people want easy ones they can finish fast
22:23.42janei love that place too, but so many groups fail
22:23.55janeAmarande: you can get za/zg queueing for dungeons before you can queue for HoT heroics or LFR
22:23.59raspyi leroyed my self in there about an hour ago
22:24.11Amarandejane: yeah, but you can also at that point queue for the original cata heroics
22:24.22Amarandewhich by this point go by in minus time with how geared people are
22:24.23janeim pretty sure za/zg are included in the "original" group
22:24.28janeza/zg is no longer its own category
22:24.34AmarandeI mean the ones that were around in 4.0
22:24.45janeright
22:24.46Amarandethe 346 blue loot ones
22:24.49janei know
22:25.00janebut if you look at dungeon finder, za/zg is included in that group
22:25.06janeits original+zandalari, then HoT
22:25.12raspyfinally battle.net updated my priest
22:25.41janenot sure why people hate them so much. it's just mechanics.
22:25.48janeyou get slightly better gear and chances at mounts
22:26.12janelike every ZA run i've done since HoTs came out was a bear run
22:26.39JunkHeadspammin attumen is boring as shit.
22:26.53Amarandehowever, fixation on the easiest dungeons is a traditional MMO bugaboo
22:27.03Amarandelike in LOTRO it's Grand Stair, Grand Stair and more bloody Grand Stair
22:27.04janeyou'd think grim batol is easy though
22:27.06janebut SO MUCH FAIL
22:27.27JunkHeadGB was one I liked.
22:27.36*** join/#wowhead _willo_ (~vel@106.219.252.27.dyn.cust.vf.net.nz)
22:27.37JunkHeadBut when i tanked it, I had very little patience.
22:27.46JunkHeadI'd skip anything I could because I knew peopel would fuck up
22:27.55Amarandegranted, there's also the matter that LOTRO dungeons were pretty mean
22:28.11janepeople don't know what the malignant trogg does, stand right on add spawn, ignore the add on the last boss..
22:29.30Amarandelike in LOTRO six-mans or even three-mans would have encounters with mechanics that WoW wouldn't usually toss at you except in tougher dungeons (usually in vanilla or BC) or even raids
22:29.50AmarandeGS was a very straightforward tank and spank 6-man where even the challenge mode was laughable
22:29.50janethe boss with valiona? i remember two manning that with the tank on my warlock when the healer and two dps just died to adds and my dots weren't killing adds in time
22:30.11janebut its not my fault the adds are only up for a couple seconds before they hit the target that was standing like 10 yards from spawn
22:30.13janelol
22:30.20Amarandethus, it seemed all everyone ever did was GS
22:30.39Amarande(probably didn't help that you get GS as part of the Moria expansion, while so many of the other dungeons in the game had to be paid for if you were not a subscriber)
22:31.05janewas LOTRO worth playing? it's so hard for me to get into most mmos
22:31.10janedoesn't help they're usually windows only too
22:31.38fewynNoxy plays lotro
22:31.47fewyni think she only does for the ponies tho
22:31.52janeponies!
22:32.25AmarandeFOR PONY?
22:32.31fewynPONIES
22:32.41Amarandejane: I used to play LOTRO, spent many months on it
22:33.03Amarandethe main thing is that there's an unpleasant current now flowing towards the pay to win end of the spectrum
22:33.11janeah ick
22:33.20Amarandeespecially due to the legendary item upgrade crystals that are being pushed on the store, and the fact that another such set are being got ready for Rohan
22:33.39Amarandethe world and gameplay were quite fun though.
22:34.44janeFREE BIRTH CONTROL!!!
22:34.46janeoops
22:35.21janeI'm really not a fan of pay to win kinda games.
22:35.36JunkHeadok.
22:35.40JunkHeadnow time for the warlock.
22:35.43JunkHeadi bet i die.
22:36.49JunkHeadOne day I'm gonna learn to play this damn lock
22:36.52JunkHeadmaybe
22:36.57JunkHeadprobably not.:\
22:39.08janewarlock is hard -_-
22:39.34JunkHeadi just hate it
22:39.42JunkHeadhave never liked it.:\
22:42.05AmarandeAff, Demo, or Destro?
22:42.16AmarandeOf which, I find I always end up coming back to aff
22:42.49JunkHeaddestro
22:42.52JunkHeaddont even have dual spec
22:42.53janemy lock is aff/demo
22:42.59JunkHeadshows how much i cared.:P
22:43.24janeI'm finding I'm getting a lot more dps out of demo though, so I'm trying to stick with that
22:44.11JunkHeadI didn't die yet!
22:45.44BlackNetwell i did it finally.
22:45.58BlackNeti bought me a 100 year old drill press today. being shiped to me tomorrow.
22:46.10BlackNetit's a 1920's era camelback junior
22:46.29JunkHeadhahaha
22:46.33JunkHeadalmost died but i killed him
22:46.43janegrats
22:46.48JunkHeadno mount yet though
22:48.00BlackNethttp://wetlands.simplyaquatics.com/v/Tools/camelback-drillpress/camelback1.JPG.html this.
22:49.37JunkHeadI think this might be my last attempt.
22:49.51BlackNetewhat are you doing?
22:50.02JunkHeadkilling the first boss in kara to try to get the mount
22:50.15BlackNetoh
22:50.17BlackNetwhat level?
22:50.24JunkHeadso far, 85's
22:50.29JunkHeadi might try my 80 mage too
22:50.35AmarandeI liked demo when I was leveling up during Lich King, especially with some of the harder areas like northern Grizzly Hills where trolls seem to swarm you like there's no tomorrow and Meta is really helpful
22:50.38BlackNetthey change kara or something?
22:50.43Amarandeas for destro and aff, I've always been more fond of aff
22:50.44JunkHeadnope.
22:50.51JunkHeaddoing multiple characters 1 at a time
22:51.06JunkHeadmy 80 mage has crap gear
22:51.08JunkHeadmight die
22:51.12JammerBlackNet: he just wants the mount badly :P
22:51.17BlackNetyou should be able to easily kill that boss
22:51.25JunkHeadi can kill it just fine.
22:51.28BlackNetJammer so did i before i left teh game
22:51.31JunkHeadjust not sure i wanna do it on the mage
22:51.40JunkHeadi think 11 times in one week is enough.:P
22:52.07JammerJunkHead: don't statistically improve your odds that much
22:52.15JunkHeadit doesnt improve them at all
22:52.39Jammerofc it does if you do it with one more char :p
22:52.40Amarande11 kara runs in a week
22:52.45AmarandeJunkHead, I think you're gonna have to face it
22:53.28Amarandeyou're addicted to WoW :)
22:53.43JammerJunkHead: you get one more drop chance thus your overall odds of getting mount that week go up slightly, but 11 compared 12 characters ain't big difference
22:53.47JunkHeadno. i just have nothign else to do
22:54.35JunkHeadand im kinda tired of switching games only to find out they suck, or are just plaing boring
22:54.40JunkHeadplain*
22:54.47Amarandeliterally nothing else to do? linky your character. :)
22:54.53JunkHeadumm....
22:54.58JunkHeadwhich one?
22:55.02JunkHeadi have 11 remember
22:55.06Amarandewhichever one has the *least* achievements left to do
22:55.23janedemo aoe is kinda shitty :(
22:55.27JunkHeadactually im not an achievement fiend
22:55.27Jammerwhat
22:55.33Jammerjane: demo aoe is awesome
22:55.36AmarandeI'm sure there's a few proto-drakes you can suss up a PUG and try to go for
22:55.41janecompared to affliction?
22:55.41JunkHeadive only just recently started doing achievements
22:55.47JunkHeadpug.
22:55.48JunkHeadyeah
22:55.53JunkHeadsee im not really into that right now
22:55.54Jammerjane: it's like shit ton better? :p
22:56.04AmarandeI'm talking about doing 80 content at 85, though
22:56.05JunkHeadi do no groups except ahune right now
22:56.40Mr_Rabieshaha
22:56.42Mr_Rabiesthat reminds me
22:56.44janereally? unless they die to your hellfire or shadowflame or live long enough for infernal or your dots, affliction aoe felt like a truckload more damage
22:56.57Amarandeor raze BT, Hyjal and Sunwell for mog gear
22:57.04Mr_Rabiestanking the ahune event in cat form owns
22:57.10Mr_Rabiesand cat spec
22:57.20Mr_Rabiestoo bad i don't need anything from it
22:57.27Amarandemog gear?
22:57.28Mr_Rabiesi got the enchant finally the other day
22:57.34janei still need the pet -_-
22:57.38JunkHeadsame
22:57.43JunkHeadenchant and scythe today
22:57.45Amarandethere's always mog gear, now
22:57.45JunkHeadstill no pet
22:57.52janei got 3 scythes on a holy pally...sigh
22:57.56AmarandeI have a feeling I'm going to get hooked on da mogz pretty hardcore
22:57.59Amarandeespecially as an ex-LOTRO player
22:58.14Amarandeessentially, WoW has now got one of the features I absolutely loved about LOTRO
22:58.20JunkHeadi got mine on my mage
22:58.38JunkHeadbrb
22:58.53janemy warlock finally got the scythe yesterday i think, the only toon that actually wants it
22:59.03Amarandenow they just need the wardrobe like LOTRO
22:59.08Amarandeand I'll be completely \o/
23:00.02Mr_Rabieswardrobe?
23:00.56AmarandeMr_Rabies: it's a feature that LOTRO has with cosmetic items (= mog, basically, although cosmetic items use a separate set of slots from actual equipped gear rather than altering the latter at the item level like mog does, weapons and shields don't get cosmetic customisation, and you don't pay gold to slot cosmetic items)
23:01.14JunkHeadok gonna tyr the mage
23:01.15Amarandebasically, wardrobe slots are account shared
23:01.19janeI just wish transmog was more flexible
23:01.37Mr_Rabiesso you have stat sticks and then gear, Amarande?
23:01.38janeI have a staff I love, but I'll never equip it because the BiS healer weapon is a MH mace
23:01.42Amarandeand when you put an item in the wardrobe, it puts its appearance (ONLY its appearance, not the item itself) into the slot where any character can access it for cosmetic use
23:01.48janenever transmog it, rather
23:02.03Amarandee.g., you can put BoP gear in the wardrobe and then access it with any character on your account for cosmetic purposes
23:02.22Mr_Rabieswell, blizzard's stated they wanted to start limited and expand
23:02.28Mr_Rabiesbecause going the other way would be impossible
23:02.31Amarandeand, moreover, gear appearances stored in the wardrobe DON'T have the same restrictions as directly equipped cosmetic gear
23:02.33janewell yeah :p
23:02.40Mr_Rabiesthey couldn't suddenly say, welp, you can't transmog weapons anymore
23:02.46janewe were discussing the other day if you can go MH>1H or vice versa
23:02.50AmarandeIn LOTRO, you can't directly slot an item into your cosmetic slots unless you can equip it
23:02.51Mr_Rabieswithout huge backlash
23:02.53janethat's a weird limitation
23:03.04Amarandejust like with mog in WoW
23:03.19Amarande*but*, you can use the appearance of an item from the wardrobe regardless of whether you can equip it or not
23:03.27janetheres a 1h dropping off of ultrax? or blackhorn or something, and it looks better than maw... not sure if i can transmog maw with it though
23:03.30Mr_Rabiesthey definitely don't want that
23:03.35Mr_Rabiesthey want paladins to look like paladins, etc
23:03.45Mr_Rabiesor at least mostly like plate wearers
23:03.53janeyeah but if its not a 2h, who cares lol
23:04.17janetook a while for me to find my weapon transmog on my druid because of the MH/1H thing
23:04.19Amarandesay, is mog limited within the specific weapon type, or is it "1h melee" "2h melee" "ranged"?
23:05.05janewell if you can mog it based on whether you can equip it, and not what's actually equipped, that'd be amazing
23:05.21Amarandethat's one thing mog definitely has over LOTRO though
23:05.21Mr_Rabiesright now you're limited to exact weapon type
23:05.25Mr_Rabies1h mace -> 1h mace
23:05.32Mr_Rabiesstaff -> staff
23:05.36Amarandein LOTRO, you can't cosmetic weapons at all, nor shields
23:05.46janehttp://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/nordrassil/Nekula/advanced two big sticks is fun, but i really want to go full t8 with a staff even if i have maw equipped
23:05.51Mr_Rabiesi think eventually they'll  limit it to handedness
23:06.01Amarandewhich is a shame, since the legendary weapons (which EVERYONE level 50+ uses in their mainhand except for very specific reasons) look really basic and meh
23:06.31fewynyawn
23:06.46Mr_Rabiesmy char isn't really transmogged at all
23:06.51Mr_Rabiessince i think he looks pretty badass as is
23:06.59janeI just have my pimp hat ^^
23:07.02Mr_Rabieshttp://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/llane/Raybeez/advanced
23:07.03WardI transmogged my mage right after they added the feature
23:07.08Amarandealso makes so many of the crafted weapon recipes (and even a lot of the loot) in LOTRO so utterly useless at the higher levels
23:07.14WardI kept it for 2 weeks
23:07.24Wardthen I got bored of transmogging and just let everything sit at default
23:07.49JunkHeadyeah mage cant do it.
23:07.51JunkHeadno hp
23:08.01Amarandesince the only reason not to equip a legendary in the mainhand is if you are running specific places for which the damage type matters more (especially wraiths, where you want to be only using Beleriand damage and the Beleriand damage granting items for legendaries are quite irritatingly annoying to obtain compared to the other types)
23:08.29janehttp://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/nordrassil/Spink/advanced and my shaman is too small to make any transmog stick out. just had to change the shield cause its totally a paladin shield
23:08.52AmarandeI'm currently pondering between http://www.wowhead.com/transmog-set=1365 and http://www.wowhead.com/transmog-set=1361 for my mage when she reaches the level
23:09.14janeooo i like the purple
23:11.25Amarandeit looks like Alanna's Embrace might be a half decent robe option for the purple mage do too
23:11.35AmarandeI wonder if that will still be around in MoP too
23:11.45Amarandeis Ras being removed from the instance entirely or relocated?
23:11.51janehttp://www.wowhead.com/item=62178/spider-splatter-mace just wish that was available for mogging
23:14.11Amarande(and if Ras is staying, I wonder what the chances are of there being a level 90 heroic version of Alanna's :)
23:14.39Amarandetrying to remember if either SFK or VC had dungeon epics
23:14.44Amarandeand if there were heroic versions at all
23:19.56Amarandeyay back to the river of cherry kool-aid :)
