Fuck me, lose the vagina. I was complimenting your organisational skills and you flare insecurities. I was merely pointing out that we disagree a lot.

Perhaps there is sense there but in practice it will not be easy. Is it easier to get an HC kill or cap arena? If PvP gear is less good than HC gear then why bother doing Arena as raiders will face roll you. It would be hard to balance.

You obviously haven't read the changes at all and you're currently just posting out of your ass.

You obviously did not read erwtenpeller's post, it was not about the patch changes, more a general wondering about things and I tried to offer an answer to.

This system allows you do do that though.

Read Everything:

Patch 5.2 Dev Interview
One of the interviews we didn't have time to cover in the past is the EPIC Podcast interview with Cory Stockton and Dave Kosak.

We may see some of Sylvanas before the end of the expansion, but no promises.
Pet battle PvP was designed to remove any fear of PvP, no communication with the other player, no win/loss record, etc.
A future patch might start tracking pet battle PvP wins and add a quest to win 10 PvP pet battles every week.
Blizzard was surprised by how popular and well received pet battles were. The participation rate is very high.
Patch 5.3 adds the first set of Burning Crusade raid boss pet drops, and a future patch will have the second set.
Pet gender was added in case it wanted to be used later, but currently the team is happy with the current depth the pet battle system has.
When adding tech for Burning Crusade Heroic Dungeons, the team added support for ten versions of a NPC with for varying difficulties, thinking they would never use that many. Mists of Pandaria now uses six!
Pet battles added Lesser Charms as a reward in Patch 5.2, and it is possible that we may see more rewards like this in the future, including Valor Points.
The new scenario into stories were added so that you can see the lore once, and then enjoy the scenario after that without repeating the lore every time.
The Determination buff came from seeing groups wipe once or twice and leaving and then queuing again. This contributed to the problem of entering a raid that was partially completed and made for an unpleasant LFR environment.

Blizzard <3s Bad Robot

http://media.mmo-champion.com/images/news/2013/april/badRobot.jpg

Spoiler:

One of the core values we live by here at Blizzard is “Embrace Your Inner Geek.” We play countless games, we collect comics and card games, we love cutting-edge technology and computer hardware, we’re fascinated by science and discovery, and many of us are movie buffs. Movies represent the combined imaginations of talented writers and visionaries, artists and operators, editors and producers, that can culminate in an awesome cinematic experience.

It’s with this motivation that we express our respect for JJ Abrams' Bad Robot Productions.

Coming in a future patch, characters with the Engineering profession will be able to produce this mechanical homage to the company that brought us award-winning television shows like Lost and Fringe, and are continuing the epic Star Trek and forthcoming Star Wars film sagas. Everyone has a chance to get their hands on this pet, allowing them to show off their mutual appreciation for Bad Robot, and the stories they’ve brought to our TVs and movie screens.

We hope everyone enjoys this new pet!

Also! Gnome art!

Undead monxxxx

by **Thelos** Mon Apr 22, 2013 5:45 am

...And only now have I figured out how to make undead monks work in a way I am comfortable with.

WARNING: explicit image; quite gruesome:

Duh-doy, how did I not figure this out before?

Thanks for sharing! I can finally bury the hatched on my feud against undead monks <3. I am at peace with them now.

Good, now find peace with gnome priests!

I thought we'd been over this. Gnome priests are wicked awesome.

by **Grufftoof** Mon Apr 22, 2013 10:52 am

If Grufftoof were to be reborn as any other race he would be a Gnome.

For the above reasons. Though this was discussed elsewhere, and I know Thelos is burning in his soul at the mere heresy of gnomish priesthood.

FEAR NOT!

For this is a thread about MoP and the patches and stuff.

As such, and because I don't want to make a new "Gruff asks a pointless question" thread. Nomenclature of monks. The monks in the training grounds, though of varying races, seem to fit (at least some of them) the "vaguely Eastern" naming conventions. As such, could it be seen that some monks (those following a path, a master etc, a "true monk") take a name on following monkish traditions?

Would a Troll take the name "Chan" for example (can you see where this is going... *looks at signature*)

It's called "Pandafilia," and it's perfectly natural for a growing young troll.

Experience needed to increase from level 85 to level 90 has been reduced by 33%.

by **Muzjhath** Wed Apr 24, 2013 9:26 am

... I'm just gonna say this.

When it comes to leveling WoW players are fucking LAZY.

They whined in vanilla. They whined in TBC. They whined in Wrath. They whined in Cata. They still whine in MoP.

Seriously, it's never been timeconsuming to level in wow EVER. I've also grown sick of hearing that "Buhooo it takes so much time!"
In Vanilla you could get any class from level 1 to level 60 within 7days of played time. Likely within 5.
You could get hunters with propper spec and lines within 4.
Things haven't changed.
It still likely takes around 4-8 days of /played time. Which when looking of history of grindy mmo games is nothing.

Yes, it's tedious, yes you'd likely rather do more fun things. It is still a whole lot less tedious than in a tonne of other games. It is also not as bad as people complain that it fucking is.

*cough*
Sorry, just needed to get that out. Always been sick and tired about the pathetic people who complain about leveling in WoW being hard and taking time.
I agree on it being tedious and boring. Still find the other complains to just infuriate me than almost anything about the game and it's populance.

by **Gor'Thrak Frosthowl** Wed Apr 24, 2013 9:30 am

I've never complained about it, just makes me happy as I'll have to spend less effort on it. Yes, I'm lazy. Razz

by **Anivitas** Wed Apr 24, 2013 9:36 am

I found that Vanilla/BC was actually very slow at leveling. But that didn't bother me cause that was just part of the game. That said I just started, so there is a high chance I was actually just crap.

Regardless, leveling since WoTlk has been fast and only getting faster.

by **Muzjhath** Wed Apr 24, 2013 9:43 am

Most people were crap.
Same as most people had never played an MMO before WoW.
People who came from Everquest, Ultima Online, or Asian MMOs ...
Or just look at a contemporary with WoW. FF XI. In that game when you died you could delevel. If it was really bad you could lose more than one level. And just getting it took longer time than in WoW.

So yea, WoW leveling is VERY spoilt.

by **erwtenpeller** Wed Apr 24, 2013 9:46 am

And I do adore being spoiled!

Awesome news. Maybe now I'll have the heart to get those three remaining 85's to level 90 Very Happy

by **Amaryl** Wed Apr 24, 2013 9:49 am

Wait, Muzj are you saying that a longer waiting time, before the rat gets its food, is better?

by **Muzjhath** Wed Apr 24, 2013 9:52 am

Hahahah I'm not.
I'm just saying that the standard WoW player is extremly spoiled, doens't know it, and think it's having a hard time. =P

by **Amaryl** Wed Apr 24, 2013 9:58 am

Haha, fair enough.

by **Anivitas** Wed Apr 24, 2013 9:58 am

Still hard to put the effort in to get all my 85's to 90...that's not the games fault though. Just mine. xD

by **Muzjhath** Wed Apr 24, 2013 10:10 am

Oh I know it. Had four or five at 80, got one too 85. Was mostly due to disinterest with the rest of the game, not the needed effort.

So when's this xp boost kicking in? Next patch?
