** Official WoW Catalysm Alpha/Beta Thread **

There's a really good post on EJ about why arcane mages are pretty OP atm if they have really good gear at 80. Probably also affects other caster classes, basically with current gear they have massive mana pools compared to spell cost to mana pool at 85.

I am sufferring massive FPS issues, dala at best is like 10 at worst its SecsPerFrame. Ive tried disabling addons, its not latency as thats fine. I used to be 30-60 FPS in dala no matter what with maximum zoom even on really busy days.

Today in IF I am even getting it and that was fine yesterday for me.

May have to completely ditch all addons, and do a repair and see if that fixes it. Kinda tricky to do much at the moment as at work and don't have much time pre raid to do anything either, so I am kinda thinking I can't raid.

Other wierd thing is I am not seeing water at all, eg in IF outside where the portal from dala is, there is a pool of water... or should be. I am seeing another rendered world just slightly offset, not water. I think this is the issue as its clearly completely confused what its supposed to be rendering, which I am guessing is screwing my FPS not addons.

No idea how to fix other than drastic measures, ie wow repair or reinstall. But if its a WOW being confused on hardware issue it may not be fixed by those measures at a guess.

Any ideas from anyone on this. I am wondering if this new "water effects" has screwed up somewhere for me?
 
Fury warriors are getting buffed too.

I'd prefer it if they sorted out our rotation a bit, it's not very fun at all and doesn't look like it will get better really, our damage is terrible yes but seeing as we are balanced around level 85 now I'm not fussed about that. Innner rage as a proc too would be much better, how it used to be, don't really fancy having more buttons to press.
 
Its going to be so funny tho if they do all these buffs and nerfs. Then come cata when people are at 85 they have to re-do it all over again because melee are OP and casters are underpowered :p

Also with the fps thing, I also would like to get some more feedback on that. My fps was stupidly low last night. I also had the wierdest thing when I would have 60fps near the gbank and then the min I hovered over a item to get info my fps dropped to like 5fps. Then when I took my cursor off it shot straight back to 60..... bloody buggy.

Hopefully it will all settle soon enough.

That's exactly what I was thinking, why bother with all these changes to balance to have to undo them all at 85 to make it how they intended. As somebody else said, what have they been doing with PTR data, apparently nothing at all :o
 
Ok, a bit random, but I tried to log into WoW this morning only to find myself locked out of the account because it had been 'compromised' apparently. So I changed passwords etc. and was able to log in eventually. When I did get in, nothing appeared to be changed about my characters such as where I logged out and any missing gear etc.

I rang the account support line and got through to someone, she basically said that it was locked automatically as it detected someone trying to get into the account.

But I checked my email and the date/time I received the email about the account being locked and it was apparently sent at 8:29PM last night, yet I was able to log into my WoW account after that time because I was in-game at like 11:00PM or so. So I don't understand what's happened and I'm paranoid now.

Any betters ideas as to what has gone on? The email I received at 8:29PM looks legit although it was in my spam folder as I think they sometimes do get filtered through there, but the email has a GM's name on it and such.

Is it worth looking into this more or should I not be as concerned as I am atm?
 
Currently not in the Beta - Been in and out of the game for a number of reasons, With the new talents, I'd love for fire mage to become viable in Arena but I cant see it happening, Hoping they fix the PVP ranks and deliver what they promised and I might come back.

Interesting, I will give that thread a read.

Logged in last night with my Arcane Mage.

It did seem really unusual at how much damage I was doing both on the dummies and in PvP gear. Not only that, but normally mana intensive stuff like Arcane Blast and/or Spellsteal spam was barely denting my mana pool. With Mage Armor active, it regenerated at a super fast rate also (Mage Armor glyphed).

My PvP gear mana pool is over 30k now *and* I was hitting people for 20k Arcane Blasts in BGs. (I was also dying before I could register I was being attacked, particularly to Shadowpriests and warlocks.).

TBH, it wasnt much fun for the blaster, or the blastee. I might stick to PvE until 85 if it stays this way.

Because people are going to leave the game if it is completely unbalanced for 2 months. If they are 100% sure the current changes balance the game out in cata then when cata is released all changes can go back to what it is like now.

However if it is anything like the last expansion, classes will be broken and it will take them a long time to restore the balance :(
 
right had a bash about last night,

Random HC was, interesting, coupla wipes on trash lol :/
Crap healer tank left that was that.

Im SO ******* OFF!

I had about
1500 Stonekeeper Shards
320 Triumph
45ish Frosts
Random amounts fo the earlier emblems too.

Had started buying heirlooms for my palatwink.
Next was wep and 2 trinkets.

So I check my eblems... Gone... But I have 4101 Justice Points.
Go to get my gear WTF with the prices.... The weapon that was 375 stonekeepers is now 3500 Justice and the trinkets are now.. 2725.

I can appreciate in removing certain items they need to add other such as these new points but WTF at least balance the bloody things or let us trade them manually so if we hit the cap we dont waste them.

from what I've been told the Justic points cap is 4k, which tbh I would expect to have been given a lot more than that for the emblems I had.

I mean I didnt even have that many people that had more than me must be really irked :(
 
sounds like they are wanting to make it harder to be a heirlooms lolboy.

that can only be a good thing.

it makes low level pvp completely unbalanced and a lot of the people in full heirlooms have facerolled their way utterly to the level cap and no jack **** about their class when it comes to heroics/raids.

I had exactly the same happen to me about 6 weeks ago. Tried to log on and got told my account had been compromised. Checked my Emails and found the one from Blizz in my spam folder as well. I scanned my PC to make sure everything was safe and sound but found nothing untoward.

If nothing looks suspect with your char's then i wouldn't be too concerned.
 
DK change is awsome! Love it! festering strike is amazing!

And people QQing.

Paladins can do decent dps. Our rets did 10-13k on marrowgar. You just need to l2 play the spec. Yea its a 2k dps loss. but still decent dps.

I pulled 17k on marrowgar, so a 1/2k dps increase not bad.

Was awsome tho, flooded the AH with glyphs, sold 1 every 15secs max. Made 10k gold in 1 hour. My GM made over 60k, by selling over 10000 glyphs.

Been a fun night for us. Twisting Nether was solid as a rock so its sweet. Didn't raid coz of lack of healers, and epople still not having full UI's ect.


If anyones after a working UI Tukui is working perfectly and includes everything you need.
