Well, it's finally here.

No more titles. No more bear mount. Heavily nerfed raids and tons of new goodies to play with. Season four is over, but the BG grind for the honor cap has just begun.

A 12 hour downtime before we can do anything.

So, what are your plans?

Um, doing dailies and more BGing?

Want to finish my epic gear before Wrath comes out at least. Patch or no patch. Oh, and get my NE Hunter to 70. :p

As for my Bloodscalp toon, um... probably work on her, after the expansion pack. :lol:

Probably get my toon to seventy (yay... only 30 more levels!;) I haven't been playing much this month due to assignments but I want to be decently leveled when Wrath comes out to at least get close to exploring Northland.

Try and level a second 70, and get the "Bloodsail Admiral" title on my main. I'm just gonna be a complete achievement whore XDDDD

I want to get inscription on my main toon, a healadin, as I already stated I would be the guild scribe (well, in the sense that I'd try to get it asap, others will probably go for it too but haven't been trying to hoard any herbs).

Besides that, just level my alts while I don't have much reason to focus on my main besides getting used to new mechanics.

Sadly, I'm not gonna be getting them to 70 before expansion comes out (shoulda focused on 'em earlier, damn the siren call of raids!). I have 5 alts and they're all between lv 8-14, with the exception of the level 21 shaman.

Since I want to level them all at roughly same time, I'll be lucky to have them all past 30.

But yeah, my plan is to just switch from day to day between each toon, giving each 4 days to build up a little bit of rest time. Not gonna worry about professions or BGs, and the only times I'll be doing instances is if one or more of my lv 70 friends wants to run me through one.

Once WotLK comes out, I'm going back to near-full dedication on my main, getting it to level 80. After that, back to alts unless a raid is happening, or maybe dailies since they'll be new and hopefully not boring and stale like the level 70 ones have become by now.

Holy crap. Everything is -still- down, even the WoW main site, forums, and realm pages. Did everything just crash and burn? Or is my browser messing with me?

No, I wasn't able to get onto the WoW main page earlier either. But its working now.

I do have the patch downloading currently. Somehow. Its huge though. I'm at 20% of 1.2 Gigs. ETA is fluxing between 3 hours and 24 hours. Its kinda annoying.

I can't wait for it to finish. Hopefully that will be done right as I get off work in five hours. Then I can finally see the new paladin stuff on live. It makes me happy.

WoW is down till 2 pm PST. Yes, it's a LONG downtime. All gearing up for 3.0.2.

[edit]Oh, you're talking about the main site. Haven't visited it yet. :p

Well, I only have one toon that is close to 70 besides my Horde Warlock. That being my 'main' Night Elf Hunter on a different server. If you can only have one 'true' main, than that would be my closet and highest 'alt'. :p

The next highest of my 13 out of 15 toons :)lol:. Though I only realistically play 4 of them on a significant basis) is a 52 Draenai Paladin, and then my Blood Elf Paladin on Bloodscalp. Realistically, the only one to hit 70 before Wrath is my NE Hunter.

No plans to pick up inscriptions anytime soon. Probably get that profession after Wrath comes out.

I hate being at work when patch starts. I'd rather have come home to a patched game and play right off. Instead, have to get home, patch, wait however long it takes, and then...probably go to sleep, without even getting a chance to play.

:headbanger:

At the least you have something to keep you're mind occupied at work. Me, i've been stir crazy the whole day, have off work till friday. Hell, even job hunting hasn't been any use keeping my anxious thoughts off of server open

What's the average download speed that you guys are experiencing for the patch? The only reason it took me an hour is because Norton Live Update decided to restart my laptop in the middle of the download.

On a side note....off to work without even catching a glimpse of 3.0. Maybe I'll get lucky and I'll get fired? =D

You'd -think- that.

...Unfortunately, I am currently on overhead and not on any project.

Meaning that unless someone from my old project walks up to me and asks for help....I've got nothing to do.

I am sitting here in front of my computer, with nothing to do.

Bored utterly out of my skull.

Ugh...I'd rather be home where I could surf the internet and read fics, play video games, download the patch, etc.

I mean, sure, I'm getting paid to be here. But goddammit... instead of destaffing someone, keeping others stressed to hell and me bored to hell...keep me staffed and helping. :(

Well, just got started on my Blood Elf pyromage on Bloodscalp last week, been playing off-and-on. Just tried to get on, and...

"Error Retrieving Character List."

Server's still down. :headbanger:

Seems like ever friggin' time I have some time to kill, something like this happens.

Apparently they're having problems updating the character lists to the new stuff. Should be working again soon.

I'm pissed now. Five hours later, and I get home from work. Got all ready to log on and own some faces as a ret pally, and bam, the Blizzard Downloader isn't finished yet. An error came up saying that it "lost contact with the host". So now I'm 48% in, and its been seven hours.

Took me about 30 minutes to download the patch, 10 minutes to apply it, and i still haven't been able to log in. I patched at about 3pm.

Checked 3.0.2. out. It rocks! I think. :unsure: They seem to still have a few 'bugs' to work out (one of the realms I play had an error loading the character list). But over all, the new talents and are, are fun as Hell.

With the VERY LITTLE time I spent working on them. :lol:

Anyways, the most I really did was earn a few achievements, changed one of my characters hair style, haven't actually done much. :sweat:

*sigh* 8:30PM local, and the server's still behaving erratically.

I'm going to try again one more time, then I'm writing today off.

I'm sure there is probably some good reason for this annoyance, but I'm still not happy.

Blizzard just restarted one of the servers I was playing. So yeah, they still have issues. :(

If it was Bloodscalp, same here - they did that to me about half an hour ago, right after I landed in Undercity, and I haven't been able to log in again since.

I checked out Bloodscalp just now...

They are on the verge of another restart. <_<

At least I can get into that one. Aeries Peak? I can't even get in. The furthest I got was the leading screen into the realm.

A lot of realms are still down or giving issues at the log in screen. Probably doesn't help that so many people are trying to get on at the same time. I've actually heard a rumor that the talent patch is causing a lot of these problems, and that blizz is planning on removing that snippet of content for the time being.

In the meantime, ya can always play an alt on another server. It'll give ya a chance to test if any of your addons still work and to rebuild your UI.
