Haven't done anything in game yet except transmog a sword. Will jump on later for a better look.

I don't remember seeing you take down any of the main raid bosses when you were playing all those years. Yet it's so basic.

That and it offers a whole lot more in regards to gameplay and world play. But hey, everyone enjoys their poison.

I must say it's somewhat frustrating having all the tier 12 items made completely redundant by equal/better items from the new 5 man heroics.

I think what many people don't understand about wow when they sound surprised when they read things like this is...
There are a handful of realms (wow servers) that are called PTR (patch test realms) that have had this 4.3 patch (or the beta of it...) running on them for months.
Most 'world leading guilds'... run two versions of wow. Usually they spend all their time in the PTR servers, learning boss fights.
So when the time comes that the 4.3 patch hits the hundreds of normal realms they simply walk through it as they already know all the fights.
It's not like they instantly walked in there and beat all the new content. They have been doing it for months.

Be nice if Blizzard had some internal test team that could do all that.
Posted 10:26am 01/12/11
And you haven't learned that about WoW yet? They are always going to supersede the best items?

Did you do it in Looking for Raid or something? Because its only Looking for Raid that has the second half locked, if you do the proper raid you can go all the way through. LFR is also ridiculously easy, I mean, normal mode isn't proving particularly difficult either, but LFR is total faceroll. But I get that LFR isn't aimed at serious players, its aimed at people that don't usually raid to allow them to see the content, so I still think its pretty cool.
But I don't think anyone can claim they've done all the content and finished the raid till they've downed all the heroics, cos really, thats where the challenge is. Normal mode is just a warm up.
Its fun though, we did the first four fights last night, and they were pretty fun.

Don't even get me started. I was the worlds second Paladin to own Sulfuras at lvl 60. The effort that went into getting and crafting that item was incredible.
It took a team of about 80-90 people, 3 months of 24/7 farming. Including me personally spending too much time then i care to quote here to get that item.
I was a ret-paladin back when people said it wasn't possible or viable. Our PVP team (back before arena was even a thought in blizzards mind... and before they even had pvp 'items') used to have some of the worlds most hardcore teams (like those from blackrock) quit the moment they saw us. ROFL.
Then burning crusade came out and they said legendaries wont be upgradeable... and then they starting giving orange items away like apples from a tree. These days the official numbers of how many players have legendary items are in the hundreds of thousands I believe.
What a crock of s***.
I've since had both Warglaives of Azzinoth and a Hammer of Ancient kings... and it's now common place for guilds to have many people with legendaries...
So pathetic.

oh, I did the first 4 with guild in normal and and first 4 in LFR... entire guild was under the assumption the rest of the raid was unavailable until next tuesday lol. Bashed through all the new heroic instances too, mucked about with darkmoon fair but DMF mostly seems like a waste of time to be honest.
Posted 11:40am 01/12/11
I did the same thing, I had server first sulfuras... it has been sitting in the bank since... can't even use legendaries for transmog.. what the hell? the one possible use it could have and they disabled it.
Posted 12:06pm 01/12/11
Musta been the s*** hardcore teams, or they were alliance and had instant queues so they would leave and win an easier game 5min later. It was about the grind to rank 13, whatever let you get there faster saved much more time.

sure it is, we didn't do dragon soul on ptr but we cleared it last night in under 3 hours.
but it's only normal mode the first week, next week is when heroic starts which is all that matters
it sounds like you just did the same 4 bosses that are available to LFR - there's another 4 available right now, but of course only on normal mode so it makes no difference whether you killed them or not. let us know how you go on hardmodes next week :)
also, lol at gamers stories. the idea of 80-90 people farming 24/7 so a dill like that can have an item, yeh that's how it should be man, that's how it should be.
what it has to do with the difficulty of current and relevant raiding content (heroic t13)? who knows? but it sounds AWESOME bro! were you raiding in bare feet, in snow littered with broken glass when you got sulfuras?
Posted 01:34pm 01/12/11
Now yeah, we were one of those guilds that played on the PTR too. So we had already killed the Madness of Deathwing twice before on normal so the re-killing last night wasn't difficult for us.
Of course, for our guild normal modes mean absolutely nothing other than as a way to unlock hard modes. For us, clearing a tier means killing it all on hard mode.
That said I agree that it's incredibly stupid just how simple they made Normal mode this tier. For a while on PTR at least some of the fights were significantly harder. And with the addition of LFR, THIS MADE SENSE. LFR means they no longer should have to cater to the face-roll crowd in normal modes. Instead normal modes should be challenging enough that the non-hardcore raiding guilds feel a sense of progression working on normal modes and it takes them a few months to clear it.
I mean think of Normal mode Lich-King. Until the stacking zone buff got high enough this was a challenging fight still on normal and delayed a number of guilds from clearing it all the first week.
I dunno, Blizzard are just getting lazier and lazier and stupider and stupider with their content design.
Posted 01:34pm 01/12/11
Damn you!!
Posted 01:53pm 01/12/11
Also, definitely agree about the legendaries, they give them out like candy now. I remember one dude on my first server I played on had Hand of Ragnarok. Silvermoon realm, that was it.
Posted 01:55pm 01/12/11
But for the most part I don't expect my guild (US 26th 25man guild last tier) to be clearing 8/8 Heroic for a while yet.

And yeah, the new heroics are pretty easy, but is anyone really doing heroics for a challenge this late in the expansion? I mean, at the start of the expansion heroics were challenging because people had crappy gear, healers had really finite amounts of mana, etc. Imo they also had to be challenging early in the expansion cos that was like the progression, you level up, you do some normals, then jump to heroics for a challenge, then jump to raids. After you've been raiding though, you're not really going to be jumping back into heroics again for a challenge.
Thats my take on it anyway. I like the new heroics because they tell a cool story and have some fun fights, I didn't really go in there looking for a challenge.
