** Official WoW Catalysm Alpha/Beta Thread **

Why did you preorder AND digital upgrade? Once you have upgraded your account online, you're guaranteed to get on on Tues night surely?
 
Goblin mage I think.

Yes I have an 80 undead mage :p

Will then roll a Wolf thing and probably go with a warrior as a casual alt.

Hope my collectors edition arrives nice and early as I plan a pretty epic session. (also doing a fresh W7 install and fresh WoW install when it arrives (wish me luck))

Will level my Dwarf Hunter (71) and my undead Mage (80) up at some point, I don't know what I'll do with my Gnome priest (currently 36)

I'm looking forward to this more then the other two expansion packs, I want to really enjoy it.

Roll on next week :)

I preordered many moons ago and I've not as yet had a despatch email :(

My hunter will be staying at 80 for a while, I've decided to continue with my DK tank, levelled upto 80 within a few days and got kitted properly pretty quickly, should help a little at the start, but Im expecting to have a lot of the gear I worked so hard for replaced by 83 lol.

I'm enjoying DK so mucha tm, really good fun tanking both bosses and instances.

first real tanking I did on this char was Sindy lol, guild needed a tank and no one else was online xD
My LK raid achis look rather odd :p

Great stuff, how do you delete buttons? I have my button bars set at the bottom of the screen but wish to move some or delete them but the usual drag doesn't work so I guess it's locked? I can't see an option to unlock in the options though.

Any ideas?

Also can you post a screenie, I'm interested on your setup!! Thanks matey

type /bartender i think, that lets you move the bars, unlock them, scale them etc.

i havent changed anything in the LUI so it will look the same as yours.

what i have done is stopped the addon that puts all the dots etc above the hp bar of you and the enemy because it took up too much screen. think its called forte.

Ah, thanks!

Also, can I save my interface so it automatically loads up for my other characters?
 
Trying to get a shaman to 80 before Cata. Now 74 and Northrend is taking its toll. 4th time through here and it's very boring and slow!

Loving enhancement though! So pro!
 
heres my UI

ui-1.jpg
 
TUKUI is the best UI I've come across, constantly updated and a massive following means there are variouse user submitted edits, skins and additional functions.

It's probably the best supported UI.

http://www.tukui.org/

Also everything Tukui does is built in so it doesn't suffer from say one mod not being updated or another being bugged as everything is done "in house".

I've been playing in 4.0.3 fairly casually (about an hour and a half a day), and I've managed to get a Tauren paladin up to 58 in under 10 hours playing time - this could easily be halfed with heirlooms and proper planning. Consider it'll take another 10 to get from 58-80, you'll probably see the first genuine 85 worgen / goblins (ie not faction changed) some time on Wednesday.

The fact that people are so set on rushing through the content just baffles me. If you miss out on your server first, which is highly likely, you'll have absolutely nothing to show for it, and you'll have wasted the experience of your first playthrough of all the new zones.

In my opinion, the greatest thing about WoW is fully experiencing new content, and the worst is the competitiveness of players in PvE (especially solo). Even if you do manage to get server / world firsts, it's not something you can really brag about - it's more of an admittance of your geekiness.

I just want to raid, I will experience the new content on an alt, I want my main at 85 asap to start getting geared up.

It's hardly a big deal if you rush, you're not missing anything, you're just doing the same **** but faster, maybe paying less attention to your surroundings but oh well. I'm going to level a fresh character 1-85 eventually to experience the old world changes too.
 
Logged in today to see i had been suspended.

Account Name: ******
Realm: Arathor
Character Name: Apok

Account Action: 24 Hour Suspension
Offense: Entered and gained goods in a forbidden area
Details: Accessed expansion content through abuse use of game mechanics. All goods gained from these areas have been removed from the characters involved.
Apparently buying fish from the auction house = accessing expansion content through the use of an exploit...
 
Not a great idea really if those fish were from a new zone bug/exploit. :(

Very unlucky though.

The only expansion stuff i have bought is the fish/meat that can be gained through the "Crate of tasty" meat from sw/org fishing dailies anyway, and i'm not the only one who has been buying those up.

Already writing up an email/letter concerning it, if i log in tomorrow morning to find all my meat/fish from the crates of meat removed i will be far from happy and make it my personal mission to ensure that they ban everyone who has done the new fishing dailies.

or give me 24 hours gametime.

Edit :- why am i not suprised other people have been banned for similar stupid reasons, apparently skinning level appropriate mobs which were dropping savage leather is an exploit too, others have been banned for that.

I like how they ban people for bollocksing up themselves

Are you going to use all that mithril Deadbeat :p?

It's already all gone :( though it went quite far without having to turn it all in for blacksmith specialising. Gotta find a good place for thorium now, Un'Goro's not the thorium farm it used to be.

Anyone know why they ditched armorsmith/weaponsmith? There's still a few smiths around who point me towards the specialist trainers, but of corse the trainers don't have anything to say. Are the specialist recipes still available somewhere?

Although I agree that it was wrong to ban you for a day because someone else was selling stuff on the AH, I've never received any fish from the crate or fishing daily that is cata only. In fact I'm pretty sure you don't.

You can get blood shrimp, which is what i'm referring to when it comes to fish.

I know my previous post made me sound like a whiny tard, but i'm well annoyed as the removal of the meat probably cost me server first cook
