[PC Game] World of Warcraft: Catch All Thread
- Thread starter Gilgamesh
- Start date
Same for me. I know it's nothing super original, but it's fun.
On a completely different note, I'm thinking I'll finally get my Netherwing mount tonight. I started the dailies for them back in BC, but never got around to finishing off the rep until now.
Blizzard just trademarked a name for a video game. Sounds like it's most likely either for a D3 xpac, or a WoW xpac. I'll put it in spoilers in case people want to wait.
The trademark is for "The Dark Below". Pretty generic, and could fit either game. I don't play Diablo, so I have no idea what fits with it.
If it's for WoW it sounds like it may be a water themed xpac, with Azshara. There are lots of hints about the dark in the oceans. There is Ozumat (Fiend of the Dark Below). And there is the Puzzle box of Yogg-Saron that reads "The fish know all the secrets. They know the cold. They know the dark." We might get to finally fight Azshara and even visit the tomb of Sargeras, which would lead well into a legion themed xpac after that.
It doesn't sound real "WoW-like" to me, but who knows. It could be something completely unrelated.

Just a heads up, but the Battle.net Client goes into open beta today. For those that don't know, it's an all-in-one launcher that feels a lot like Steam, giving news on each game franchise, auto-updating games, and in the near future will allow chat outside of the games with all Battle.net Friends.
Even if the lineup is obviously not robust (being only Blizzard's three main franchises), it sure beats having to deal with the three different launchers if you have the three games installed.
Edit: While logged into the client I decided to boot up WoW for once this week. Was happy to notice that it bypassed the whole login process and just got me right to the character select screen. That sure saves a lot of time.

Humorously that's the same day as FFXIV release.
Blizz is pretty well known for scheduling based on other game releases.
Jesus that is the best trailer they have ever done.

It's pretty damned good, I'll give them that![DOUBLEPOST=1376588546,1376588509][/DOUBLEPOST]
How do you get the beta client, by the way?[DOUBLEPOST=1376588590][/DOUBLEPOST]Never mind. I got it.
At the least Thrall is going to be one of the ones helping fix his mistake.
It's a pretty easy plot point to expand on, I guess. One thing I do like, though, is Hellscream's not corrupted. He's not brainwashed. He's got his twisted vision of how he wants to run his world and his Horde, and he'll do and say whatever he has to, and kill anyone he has to, in order to bring his vision fully to life.
Oh, I don't necessarily mean that the characters get corrupted. I was referring to the dumping of the heart in the lake. Or the Zerg Creep/infestation mechanic. Or the Blight created by Undead buildings (see Zerg Creep), Or the corrupted growths in D3. It's practically a trope in the Blizzard universe, that someone will do a thing, and as a result of that thing, the once beautiful area/land/tree/hero will become a twisted mockery of itself that needs cleansing.

I was on yesterday and we were about 10 minutes from having 3 on at the same time!
@Squidleybits was even playing her Alliance toon!

I'm actually pretty happy with this news to be honest. Needed the extra time.
I need extra time as well. Those $%#&! Secrets of the Empire are hard to come by. I've been collecting them for over a month and still need 5 more.
I also would like my alliance hunter to hit 90 and do the Horde-Breaker quests before the patch.[DOUBLEPOST=1377100625,1377100129][/DOUBLEPOST]

I love hunters! I really do need two!
Once I get ahead in a current patch, which I'll hopefully do in 5.4, I'll try to get on alliance again.
I'm getting really antsy to get MoP done with. I like what they've done over all, but the I don't like the Alliance vs Horde story line. I worked through the Pandaren starting area last night, and it bothered me knowing how it's progressed since then. The way the Pandaren are accepted into the factions, and being told all their old friendships and family have to be forgotten. What we do in the Jade Forest, and in the Vale. If I could choose to be a part of no faction at all, I probably would. I hate being a part of it.

Level 90 on my ally hunter! She can finally fly in Pandaria!!
It actually wasn't too bad after I realized that Pet Battles gave me experience!
If anyone else has a hordie that is bored enough to give me a hand at doing A Change of Command, or needs to do it themselves, it would be greatly appreciated!
I'm willing to help. I'll log in now and see if you're on.
Also, Halforums has crashed my pc twice. Had to use iPad.

Shoutbox overload? Not sure why we'd crash you.
Wouldn't you know. Right when I post that I finally find some people that needed it. I'm surprised that was the quest that took the longest to do in that chunk. I have never won a mines BG before, and the temple annoys the hell out of me. Won both in one try though. Now back to collecting random drops!
You have my deepest sympathies...the Secrets are some elusive!
