***Official Wrath of the Lich King Thread***(Contains spoilers)***

Was that mainly for the achievements you have though? I've been off wow since before the patch and before my guild got descent into madness. Might get that then flog my account. Don't know where to put it though!

I had pretty much best in slot (for almost all slots) gear for tanking and DPS Death Knight specs (on one of them) and the two Ulduar raider achievement mounts and lastly the realm first Algalon the Observer title.

Not too sure really, also had some PvP gear (around 4 Furious/3 Deadly)

I sold mine on the bay, that website I put mine up on was dead it seemed!


Because I cleared Naxx 25/Sarth 3D/Malygos 25 on my Horde character but then rerolled with friends to join the best Alliance guild on the server (friends were in it so we got a free ticket in and geared up fast), it was a lot of fun but my interest in the game plummeted since mid-July time.

Hmm intersting. In a similar boat to you - really lost interest in the game and quite keen to get rid of my account, though not expecting to get as much (80 rogue + priest 70 hunter, druid + mage). Might try the bay, though i thought they pull accounts off within a few hours these days?
 
I've seen it quite a lot on ebay. Sell the boxed games not the account. But with the boxed games you will supply the account details. Then list everything on your account.

I've heard this way you are not breaking T&C. Because you are just selling on the game it just so happens it needs an account to use :D Not sure how true this is mind.

Otherwise if your that worried about it being pulled do a 1 day listing on the weekend (where more people will see it)

I'm not sure I could sell my account on. I've had some fantastic times on there. Even made some really good friends :) I dont regret playing wow at all.

I do agree though it is getting rather dull game though :p

Although I am still having loads of fun lvling through PvP. Brings back so many memories :D Used to love pvp lvling with my shammy way back when you could turn in tokens for XP :D lol shammys were so OP back then. In fact my last 2 lvls (59 and 60) was done purely on bgs.
 
Not sure if anyone is interested but:

The Brood Mother Returns - Onyxia Raid in 3.2.2
Quote from: Zarhym (Source)
She has lurked in her lair and done battle with the many brave adventurers who travelled to that familiar location over the years. Now, in honor of the World of Warcraft 5-year anniversary, the dreaded brood mother Onyxia is being revamped to make a return to the forefront of Azeroth, as part of our big plans for the upcoming 3.2.2 content patch.

This permanent update to Onyxia will convert the dungeon into 10- and 25-player modes. We will be adding new items to Onyxia’s loot table that have the same model as some of the classic loot from this dungeon, like Tier 2 helms, with stats updated to match the current level of content. There will be a special new item too: a normal drake-sized 310% speed flying mount modeled after Onyxia herself called an Onyxia Broodling. We will also be updating the encounter mechanics to be more fitting for modern raiding, but we can guarantee players will get to experience the frightening horror of deep breaths once again.

Then for a limited time, after the 5-year anniversary event officially begins in November, anybody who logs in will receive an Onyxia Brood Whelpling pet.

We’re very excited to bring this classic encounter back to provide a fun new experience for both new and veteran players. Further details will be available in the near future, and we will be setting up the Public Test Realms soon to help test out this fight along with all the new content we have planned for the patch. Keep an eye on the forums for updates!
 
I think we're gonna need more DoTs.

I cant wait for 3.2.2

Ony was probably my first raid instance. Its gonna be fantastic seeing the guys who havent seen her at 60 getting their first Deep Breath :D

Also, that mount sounds good. Gonna have to wait and see what it looks like, but part of me wants it to be basically Onyxia with a saddle.

I wonder if the T2 heads will be just upped in ilevel or if they are going to be recoloured. The pally helm shouldnt be recoloured IMHO. Looks too good as it is.

Thats exactly what I am hoping for :D I hope they dont make it too insanely difficult to get. Then again on the flip side I hope its not too easy to get :p

Hopefully they will shed some light on it soon enough

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Blizzard putting effort in to geat modeling?

Seriously though they just say that it will be the same gear just with changed stats... according to the quote I posted at the least.

Well, yea. Blizz do put in a lot of effort into modelling and texturing items. Ok some of it gets recycled. And thats mainly down to people QQ'ing about their spec's not having items for them. If they did a new graphic for every item out there, we would have to wait a lot longer for each major content patch. I imagine its goes something like this.

Each piece of loot has to be sketched first.
Presented to the management.
Corrected/redrawn if required.
Approved.
Then the helm and shoulders modeled in 3D. Maybe the gloves and boots too.
Then the model has to be textured.
The model then needs to be altered for each race and sex. (If you dont belive me, then grab modelviewer and look at the number of shoulder/helm models.
The shoulders/helm may need some effects stuck on.
Then this needs to be approved again.
Then it can be patched into the game.

Not to mention that each patch would have to be much larger. Hireing more artist is something Blizz doesnt want to do either. They have stated they have a 'small team' for WoW and thats the way they like it.

One of my gripes with WoW was that to many items had the same graphic as other items. I would have been more than happy to wait it out and so would the general consensus of other WoW players.

It is plain old lazy. Blizzard don't hire more artists because they arn't allowed to by management, its all about profit these days.

Im gonna have to call rubbish on that.

If the patch was delayed by 3-4 months because they needed to do 2-3 times the amount of artwork, the same people would STILL complain about that instead. Saying Blizz are Slow and lazy.

I would hate to work for Blizz. The amount of crap players unjustly throw at them is amazing.

Then again, I used to do a lot of 3d stuff and I have a bit of a clue on how long it takes. And how annoying it is when someone comes up to you and says something like 'Its crap.'. I can stand someone giving feedback about it, but giving a 1 word answer is just an insult to your hard work.

This

I've done a bit of 3D modeling and I am at a very basic level. I still cant do textures very well. It can be very time consuming to get something right.

I see a a lot of "players" that rant on about how they can do better. I must say id love to see them try :p

I know it isn't as simple as it sounds, but a lot of the gear looks the same.

My DPS DK was using the same looking helmet as a holy paladin :o

Plus some gear doesn't look good. I am not saying that it is "poorly made" I am saying that it just doesn't look as good as a lot of the tier gear for TBC. I used to think some of the gear in TBC looked awesome, recently only a few tier pieces (in MY oppinion) look as good.

*EDIT*

Understand, I am talking about how it is designed, as in the actual look of it, not the quality of the models.
