** Official WoW Catalysm Alpha/Beta Thread **

Available at lv30, too. I remember the grief of trying to save on my 1st char, never did make it - went to Outland and spent my cash on flying instead. As it is, offspec is annoying me - I'm compelled to drag around 5 or 6 extra bits of kit to be a better tank and every time I switch specs (which I have to do to spend talents in offspec, for some goober reason) my mana's reduced to zero.

Just exactly how much easier would you like them to make it?

Back in my day if you wanted to switch spec you had to pay to respec and redo all your skills. For each change. None of this dualspec easy mode were you just really click a button and have it all done for you, for free no less!

I still had to do the DreadSteed and Charger quest lines to get my old lvl 60 mounts.

Things are so much easier now.
 
So I finally got my Mr. Grubbs pet and Withers :) Also was dead chuffed to see the the lil raggy and moonkin pets on blizz store :D so bought them.

That wacks me up to 135 vanity pets now woots !

I also started a troll hunter last night, I have to say the lore is pretty good with the troll starting zone. The quests from Sen'jin is still very similar but it all flows quite nicely. Especially the wolf ride from Sen'jin to Razor hill which is a nice touch it deffo saves having to run all that bloody way !

I got her to level 9 and I have to say quite enjoying hunter feels really different killing things at range. So used to running in as melee. The range hunters have is pretty crazy too :p deffo going to play some more of it tonight.

oh going with the custom UI. I use a UI called Arkiveui. I dont have any screenys to show atm as I'm at work. But it can be found from wowinterface. It is a really really nice compilation I've been using it for well over a year now. I cannot stand using anything else :p
 
Having a few UI troubles, wondered if anyone can help.

Firstly I can't pick up mail. Secondly, I can't see my micro menu to ticket a GM about issue one. Thirdly, I can't seem to hide the blizzard bars.

I'm currently only using two mods; ElkBuffBars and Bartender4.

Make sure your mods are updated to the latest version. A number of them broke in the recent patch.

Try deleting your Cache folder and let WoW rebuild it for the mail issue.
 
2-3 more instances then my war will be 80 and im all set for cata :)

dont think i can level a 70 hunter or 71 priest.

what char will people be leveling first in Cata? im going with my DK as he has the best chance of soloing the harder stuff but, mages get around so much easier.

I will be leveling my DK first up as well he is my main raiding char :) as you mentioned should be pretty easy leveling as well quests will be easier soloing elites (hopefully) will be easier.

Then to add into the mix grouping will prob be easier as you can dps/OT or main tank :D

I honestly have no idea when I am going to have the time to level alts as well raiding will be pretty intense for the first few months.
 
I'll be levelling my priest as it's the only char I do enjoy levelling with. So much in fact that (due to how cheap I am) that I'm currently levelling another one because I want a gnome priest. I'll be taking him to 80 and then 85 nice and slowly. I'm not in any rush to get to the end game this time, I just want to enjoy playing!
 
I'd get some T10 and the Wrathful shield if you are planning on tanking instances next week, apparently they chaff compared to now!

That might just be in heroics though, not sure.

At this stage you'll probably save time questing a few to get some better greens :p

True that. I suppose it depends what you are going to do.

I think we're going BRC to 81/82, then will start questing after that. Should mean that the well geared people will be out of the way and that the no lifing masses that are questing will have moved onto the next zones so it shouldn't be too congested.

my plan. not gonna waste the points on t10 stuff when you can find greens equal or better in the first level.

dont plan on doing many instances, plus i will be dps :) fury ***.

tho i am still wearing season2 ( you read correct) shoulders.
 
My only issue is all my professions are a bit screwed on my toons, as in one relies on the other...

Deathknight relies on Rogue for Alchemy for gems, Warlock relies on Deathknight for metals, Rogue relies on Deathknight for money from selling the gems. :)

So not entirely sure which to level first, as I hate DPS'ing on the DK, so I'll be instance grinding only, been playing the warlock since release so I only like raiding, rogue I dislike as my precious combat has been raped, and daggers out of raiding is dull... I could just ignore Cataclysm for the time being and level my paladin to 80, but then I'd be behind my guild. One saving grace is my best mate is a resto shaman, and I levelled in TBC with a holy priest and I was affliction, I had no down time and just rampaged through fields of mobs... Decisions decisions...
 
Gonna be levelling my warlock first as thats what Ill be raiding on, then after that probably paladin/priest/mage/druid/DK/shaman in that order!

Also want to start a goblin and worgen to see the new levelling zones!

Pala has herbing and mining so want to get that up pretty sharpish!
 
will raiding be like WOTLk were it doesnt take 10 hours a night to down a couple of bosses? or will it be like old skool were you have to dedicate a day to a raid?
 
Hopefully it will take weeks to kill a single boss, especially on heroic.

Just like in the level 60 days, none of this easy nonsense we have at the moment.

Highly doubt it though (it doesn't). :(
 
Anyone can help me with my dilemma:

Tried Wow several times and after a while i got bored with it,cause it was always the same:Darkshore,Barrens,crossroads etc.Always the same quests over and over again.
Now with cataclysm coming i'm wondering if something has changed?It seems Vanilla Wow is changed,but how about later on in the game?Still the same quests as it is now?
 
The quests are the same from 60-80 but there are new ones from 1-60 and 80-85.

It was never really the same quests over and over again though, there are thousands of them, they can't all be hugely different.
