** Official WoW Catalysm Alpha/Beta Thread **

According to MMOC and Wowhead, yeah this week. Definite? no, extremely likely ? yes.

Think I will start my new character off then :)

Not sure what to play but may as well get stuck in :)

Wish I could do Kara more :( hard to get friends to go there, easily my favourite raid instance.

Completely agree. After clearing TBC me and the old guild used to run Kara for a full clear about 3 a times a week on various alts we enjoyed it that much. Good times :D
 
er thats a negative. I don't think it has been formally announced anywhere yet. But the liklihood is it will be either this wednesday or next.

Personally I don't know why people think it is this week but meh *shrugs*

It is as good as 100% confirmed now (MMOChamp are very, very rarely wrong) -

Godammit, Tuesday night is my night on the PC, but my stupid G/F is going to see that stupid Harry Potter film then so I'll have to sit with the dogs instead of going down to the cellar for one last look at Azeroth:mad:

Screw it! I'll be logging on when she gets back home, don't care what time it is!
 
Take screenies while you can !

I did it ages ago :p maybe im a bit sad :( but I'm going to miss some of the areas that are so well known to me. Remembering where to go to grind 40 tusks in the barrens. Where to go to find the raptor nests to plant the feathers to be ambushed by raptors.

Trying to navigate around Un-goro trying to find the way to siliths. ahhh memories :p

oh I also took a pic of me next to Carine cuz well you know.... just in case :(
 
Try soloing Sartharion / Magtheridon / Al'Ar if you want something challenging, that's the hardest stuff I soloed (as pala)
or try beat 3 timed bosses solo in ZA, I nearly had 4 :P
 
expected kara to be a bit harder than it is, soloing a bit too easy with blood dk

hehe aye its real easy as a Blood DK. The only ones I struggle on is Aran (I just get nuked when the adds come out :( ) Netherspite because of well portals and chess event :p because well ya know.

I should get my exalted with Violet Eye after wednesday. Then its just going to be a matter of keep grinding Atty until mount drops or er cata comes out and I cba any more.

Edit Afran you've soloed Sartharion O_o :eek: Holy crap pallys are OP..... NERF EM NERF EM NOW !!! :p
 
DK's can solo Sarth too (world first solo sarth was a DK infact)

Gruul's easy to solo, just you can't pass the 1st encounter and it's impossible to solo that, so you need help to reach Gruul himself
 
Wonder if it will be worth picking this up and playing again.. it is tempting but really hoping it doesnt just throw free epics in your face once i get to 85...

mmmm I think I might just have to try that :)

Gives me something to try tonight :p
 
Me and a friend just started off new toons together and are going to level them up over time. One strange thing I noticed is that in WoW you get less exp for teaming up, it is more pronounced the larger the group.

No wonder that people don't group enough and don't talk enough when the game actively penalises you for doing so. SUrely a simple solution would be either normalis exp gains when in a party to when soloing or even improve them. This would help in generatying more groups and (hopefully) a better in game atmosphere. Though that is probably a hope beyond.

We rolled on a RpPvP server and whilst only on for a couple of hours the atmosphere does seem more mature and nicer than the normal servers, though time will tell I guess :p
