I've done all the raid content so far and Ulduar was my favorite too. The bosses were perfectly balanced. Challanging and fun. Like I said, even the trash was difficult. ICC is fun too but its not quite as fun. Plus there's the buff that increases every month or so. The buff that gives everyone in the ICC raid an increase to damage done, healing done and damage resistance. Its at 25% right now making ICC easier than it needs to be. I mean COME ON! Its the final dungeon. XD Ruby Sanctum brings me back to the Ulduar days. The final boss is nasty. We might get it tomorrow.

So...Blizzard pulled a fast one on us. They didn't reveal all new Class-Race combinations. Newest release? Dwarf and Troll Warlocks. www.wow.com/2010/06/30/cataclysm-beta-cataclysm-will-bring-troll-and-dwarf-warlocks/Dwarf is getting way too many new classes... Night elf paladin would be nice. <_< And Worgen shaman. Don't wanna be a GOAT. Also, Worgen voices, female at least, are uh...well not the SLIGHTEST bit surprisingly English-accent. Gogo Twilight fangirls. ...though it does have a slight uh, Australian tinge to it. >_> Male flirts were released, and some of us here are going to fall for them hook line and sinker. He's already stole my heart once, and he'll easily steal it again. Why, it's Steve Valentine! www.youtube.com/user/RisingStars2#p/u/0/kjwDrF2RSakAnd shame on you Dragon Age fans if you don't instantly recognize that voice. Though he's not confirmed to be the final voice actor, nor is whomever that woman is. But I hope he stays And the female flirts are....kinda...um...

Zomg, love the male human voice. ♥ And "I'd like to mark your territory" made me lol... hard.
Dwarf and Troll warlocks is a surprise. I sorta like the idea of dwarf warlock actually, but I know gnome would still be a more solid choice.

Been playing a lot on Silvermoon Horde lately. Caller and I played "death knoobs" the other night, he tanked and I dps'd. DPS is about the only role I feel comfortable in. I tried tanking as my human pallydink, but felt a little stressed. Been feeling bored, I'm gonna try to level my human priest. I really, really, really love Enchanting and Tailoring, and she's the one with those professions on Doomhammer. Currently, they're both capped at 300, as far as I know she needs 55 to go further. In another note... those people who swear Horde players are more mature obviously never stayed in Hellfire longer than 15 minutes. The short time I was there I was repeatedly duel spammed (cuz "plz" is gonna change my mind?!) and got a random tell stating "cnt get me" from some guy I didn't see, or know. Hellfire is like making a new character on a "Recommended" server... it's just one big idiot parade. However, I wanna level up my blood elf death knoob so she has to deal with it. So weird being on horde! I have to make sure I don't run to the Alliance NPCs out of habit. Hoping to get a new PvP piece of armor on Tai soon. I was gonna go for the trinket, but then realized that the Anvil of Titans was a better choice, and cheaper as well. So, I think I'm going to get either the boots, or the chest piece next. I finally feel comfortable doing wintergrasp. It's actually the only PvP event that I really enjoy. Maybe cuz we win all the time? Perhaps.

Ah, I thought as much, it's a move to stop trolling and flaming. What little I've read there... there was a lot of it. I don't see a problem with it, but I can understand others being upset. I've always been open about my name, though. Similar issues are with the Real ID system in game too, because of that. I may actually spend more time on their forums because of this. I saw some videos of Worgen and Goblin females today. I gotta admit, I think the Goblin is gonna be my new Tarutaru female. She's very cute, and very animated.

Anyone who truly believes this will stop trolling and flaming is a 100% bonafide American Idiot. Anonymity only goes so far, and besides, the wall of the internet is still there to protect them. All this is going to do is going to cause drama.

I don't see the point to this "real name" thing. Even with the Real ID. It all seems pointless to me.

I didn't say it would stop it, I said it's a move to stop it. It will kill off some of the less determined trolls out there. There are always more determined, obsessed types who thrive off of asshattery. Speaking of which, I got ganked by Chì today. I know better than leaving Dalaran when PvP flagged but nooo I didn't listen. I gotta admit she's a damn good rogue. But, nothing more than attention whore, no different than the before mentioned trolls. She thrives on causing others grief and annoyance. I'm in the process of reporting her for griefing now. I don't expect to get anywhere with this, but as far as I'm concerned, she's wasting our money and time. She's *such* an attention whore than she logs into an alliance alt to hear us cursing her. Doesn't try to hide it either. I took the opportunity to call her out, something I almost never do... Her reply? We should just pay a mage and or hearth to another city while we're in "her city". Riiight. Just annoyed. Not about the ganking, but the constant parade of dumb asses and attention whores to be found all across the internet. Le sigh. One positive note about being ganked is that I was able to determine she switches weapons and poisons mid fight to stun lock. I didn't get to move the entire time. That thing about requiring two rogues to stun lock now? Nope! It's something to consider, I guess. Rogue is such a complicated class to play well. And I suck at it.

Y'know all those new talents and bigger talent trees they announced? Yeah well, take all that, and throw it in the crapper. www.wow.com/2010/07/07/cataclysm-class-and-mastery-systems-explained/#continuedSummary: Trees will be extremely simplified. You must choose a specialization at Lv10, and then the other two trees become locked and inaccessible until Lv70 after you spend 31 points in that specialization. Choosing a tree will unlock what used to be that tree's "defining" talent and a few passive bonuses as soon as you choose it. You will get a talent point roughly every even level and new spells/abilities every odd level. Their "mastery" plan has been reworked to be a new stat (and all this after they just got RID of a bunch of stats) that will start showing up on gear at Lv78 (this is why your Lv80 epics will be obsolete). I think I'm okay with this idea, but I hope in their process of retooling all these talents they start buffing some trees (like subtlety).

Ok adding +mastery to armor? Terrible idea. The whole point of reducing all bonuses on armor was to make it more simplified, but now they are adding a new stat. Le sigh.
I am really hating where this game is going.

I'm loving those changes, I really do. I admit it could be different when I actually see it in action but from what I just read I think all those changes are definitely for the better. "Trimming the fat" as the writer says is what this is. Cause yes, I do hate having to spend a crap ton of talent points on filler talents, some even being only moderately useful to being useless altogether just to get a good one thats way down on the list. The Mastery thing is a little confusing to me. I kinda get it but I might need to read on it more. Either way those talent changes are a great thing. I approve!
One thing I hope they do with these new trees, I think I read it in there too, is to make all three per class be equally useful for PvE and PvP. For instance, when it comes to Priests Holy has been the raid healer tree, Discipline has been the PvP healer tree and Shadow has been the DPS tree for both. I don't get why all three can't be good for both styles of play. Obviously when it comes to healing there needs to be a difference between Holy and Disc but to have them useful for both would be nice.

This is my guild's first kill on Halion in Ruby Sanctum. Has a funny end to it too. Halion is probably one of my favorite fights in the game now. Its hard! And fun.

Blizz sez "Wow, ya'll got really pissed about that whole real name on the forums thing, so we ain't gonna do it."
Just glad they actually listened to their player base. I'm sure SE would have stood by their decision long enough to at least implement it, and have people quit before realizing their error.
