WoW

Zephyrus · Dec 24, 2007

I would have posted this in the RPG section, but I figure that was more for the round robin style RPGs they have over there. So I apologize in advance if I posted in the wrong section.

-shrug-

I just received the Wow Battlechest as an early Christmas present and I'm gearing up for war in the next day or two. I already have a character on the trial version, but I think I'll start anew when I go full version.

What I'm wondering is, do any fellow adventurers want to consider getting together and celebrating our lack of a social life? A TFF guild doesn't sound like a bad idea either.....

Any takers?

There was talk of this some time in the past, but don't think anything ever came of it, which is sad since talk was done around when I'd gotten my copy of the game and was starting out. Would have been nice to have some experienced players to talk with and help me out.

As it is, I cancelled my account about three months back, due to lack of friends I could regularly game with when I could log on. Half the fun of an MMO is being able to game with friends after the monotony of gameplay finally settles in, which -always- happens in MMOs, regardless of how pretty/amazing the game is.

Still, I could be convinced to restart my account if enough people actually showed interest in starting a TFF guild.

Easily enough?

Don't pay.

That would be frickin' awesome! I've got a few people from another forum together that I frequent. That's about four or five, I believe.

I can solo quite well, but I would like to try out some groups here and there. I'd be more than willing to tank, since I like a good fight. ^_^

Used to have a level 40 Nightelf Hunter. I stopped playing WoW for the same reason you explained.

It was just mindless solo grinding.

ThreadWeaver · Dec 24, 2007

I agree. I used to play it a lot but got bored of always doing crap on my own. Most of the guilds my players belonged to petered out from disinterest.

If someone decides on a server and gets people together, I'd sign a charter for a guild. Of course, that would mean working chars up from scratch since everybody here is probably on different servers. For instance, I lurked on Norgannon. Unless you're willing to pay the 25USD for a character xfer.

I played mostly Horde chars. lvl 55 tank, lvl 43 lock, lvl 15 pally...

Zephyrus · Dec 25, 2007

I lurk on Venture Co., along with a few others. I guess it all depends on majority vote. I'd prefer alliance, but I guess I could do horde.

How many members in agreement would it take to sign you guys up?

foesjoe · Dec 25, 2007

I also tried WoW some time back, but got bored of it pretty quickly, since I never had the patience to play 8hrs a day to go beyond lvl 20.

But if enough people are in and we play on that Tyrants server, I guess I'd also join.

Or we could alternatively just play GuildWars, but then I'd have to dig out my old accounts for that.

PCHeintz72 · Dec 25, 2007

Neither of my brothers, who are both gamers, became addicted to WoW when it came out, or since. Of late, they've been heavily into one introduced to them by a friend, I believe it is called 'NeverEnd' by Mayhem Studios.

:huh:

NeverEnd?

Never heard of it. Do elaborate.

Solarman · Dec 25, 2007

I roll a lv 60 Blood Elf mage and an 18 Troll shaman on the Exodar realm, a 20 Blood Elf Warlock on Balnazzar, and a 20 Tauren druid on Duskwood. I'd love to see a TFF guild, I'd even cross back over to the Alliance if you decide to play over on that side of the fence.

edit: and if we do this on Blizzard's servers, let's keep off the rp servers please... i can handle anything but that.
edit2: if we do it on Exodar I can (maybe) guarantee at least a few converts from my current guild. Otaku of the world unite!
edit3: if we do it on either Exodar or Balnazzar I can provide the charter money.

So, uh, why is this a rant again?

Ike · Dec 25, 2007

I spend wayyyyy too much time on WoW. My main is a 69 BE Pally named Iketank (who is, ironically, holy specced), and I play on the Skullcrusher realm.

I'm actually playing wow right now, and am posting this as im waiting for a party member to come rez me ; ).

Kayeich · Dec 25, 2007

I prefer going with Alliance if only because I actually know my way through the alliance maps and a fair bunch of the quests, while zippo knowledge of horde. I'm not horribly against playing horde though if it comes down to that.

Also don't care if we're on an RP server or not, however... I want PvE instead of PvP for my gaming experience if I join up.

PvP is fine and dandy in battlegrounds, but that's it. I can live with getting flooded with duel requests or yell messages whenever I go into goldshire/stormwind (annoying that it is), but getting ganked or attacked when I go into a map controlled by other faction gets old fast, especially when you still have to deal with the duel idiocy.

If I want to PvP, I'll bloody well turn on the PvP tag, goddammit. If I don't, well it's off for a reason. Big pet peeve of mine.

So, given I'm seeing "PvP is allowed, corpse camping is allowed, ganking is allowed" under server rules for tyrant, I'm really not that willing to go with that. Ganking is lame. So is corpse camping.

Well... I looked up some reviews of it, back when they first started, it had mixed reviews, I think mainly because of details in how the magic system in the game works.

But, here is a link to the homepage of the maker:

Also, here is a summary from their game specific page:

World of Warcraft.

My great love.

My great curse.

I've been playing it since the european release. I've been there, raided that and killed everything between point A and point Z, with A being Lucifron and Z currently being the reliquary of souls in the BT (christmas raid pause 4tl).

And I hate it. It is poison. Stoppig me from doing useful things. But... so addicting. Between my great love (my Paladin) and my new l70 twink - of all things, a Hunter - I find myself wholly unable to escape Blizzards Welfare Epic program... which is to say "Season 1 Epics for Honor!". (if you play it, you know what I'm talking about. I hate the fact that every two-bit piss-poor noob can get t4-equivalent gear by grinding Alterac, much less that those same fucking piss-poor two-bit no-name no-skill 1300-Arena Rating idiots get tier-6 equivalent gear within two months, whereas I've spent the better part of the last quartal raiding to get to that point (but attendance trouble paired with drop problems prohibits me from wearing sweet, sweet t6).

Grrrr. Rage!

Cornuthaum said:

If you think that's bad, they still haven't decided whether they'll put season 2 gear into the honor system when season 4 starts. I'm gonna have to decide whether it's worth it to go regular glad's before season 4, assuming I get to lv 70 by then (I should) or if I should wait for season 4 to see if I can get merc glad's from honor. Decisions, decisions. Or should I grind alterac enough for both? lol.

Cornuthaum · Dec 25, 2007

eh, my hunter'll have full s1 within two weeks, the rings three days after and then I'll get 75k honor to save up for mercglad... and get an arena team in order to get a.) the vengeful waraxe (lol no rating

) and b.) save up for s4.

Scygnus Darkhawk · Dec 25, 2007

I was just thinking of getting back into WoW, actually. I was always kind of a noob because I soloed pretty much all the time, except a few runs here and there. I planned to find a guild to join to make it more fun, so this is a perfect opportunity.

I played a human Warlock, level 32 I was before I stopped, since I kept running into places I couldn't get by without a party... which was not forthcoming. If I had to start on a new server, it would be okay with me. My lock is on Zangarmarsh, which was low-population when I left, so if some of you could snag those free moves... though it'd probably be better if all of us just started over at once, so we'd all be roughly the same level and none of us would have to wait for the others to level up to do instances. We could help each-other out with resources and the like: I was tailor/enchanter, and I know how much linen you pick up in some of the first parts, at least for human... though I stupidly sold most of it before I picked professions.

So, I'll hunt up a PvE server, unless there's any objections. Does anyone vote nay for a PvE server? Also, does anyone here have experience running a guild?

Actually, better yet, let's take a headcount. You need ten people for a guild, if we get that we'll go further, otherwise we can just stop contemplating now. So, how many takers do we have?

Oh, and this armory thing is neat, here's me: Scyggy

Kayeich · Dec 25, 2007

Huh. Almost creepy to see my character statted out in a website, and me not having done any of the work. :sweat:

Creepy, but still cool.

Anyhow, for the headcount, this is the impression I had:
Aye - Zephyrus, Threadweaver, Scygnus
Aye (PvE servers only) - Kayeich
Aye (non-RP servers only) - Solarman
Seemed like an aye (but for Tyrants server only?) - Pridefall, Foesjoe
Possible Aye (No listed opinion, but have active accounts so can charter sign) - Ike, Cornuthaum

Solarman · Dec 25, 2007

Alavir

This is what I roll. AND I've actually managed to hit exalted with Orgrimmar today. Now my epic ground mount training will only cost 480g. Must... grind... sfk... for... shadowfang... and... assassin's blade....

edit: so we've got 7 people willing to make a guild... hm... well, we could always fill in the blanks with alts... but I have a question: are we going to keep guild membership within the ranks of TFF or are we also recruiting from outside?

Bjorn · Dec 25, 2007

Ah, WoW. The game that ate my life. Stopped playing after beating the game, since there wasn't much for me to do outside of endgame raiding. World ranking #30-something for killing Illidan, iirc. UD Rogue with full T6 and BT/Hyjal epics, but no Twin Blades. If I'd got 'em I'd probably still be playing.

After stopping, I started writing again, which could be worse. All things considered.

Sadly, I live outside of the States, so I wouldn't be able to register an account to play on US realms. D:

Kayeich · Dec 25, 2007

Bjorn said:

...huh. I wasn't aware they forced people to geographic specific servers, but googling it, sure seems that's the case.

That makes running a TFF guild a lot harder. Well, unless that Tyrants server allows connections from anywhere, but being a PvP server makes me not like it, even if it -is- free, dammit.

Scygnus Darkhawk · Dec 25, 2007

Well, if we do have to run that server, remember that PvP won't be as much of a problem with us all in a guild. One death is not that big of a deal. Someone ganks, you just have to call the others in or suck it up and Rez if we can't take them down. We'll just have to make sure we never go into enemy territory if we aren't in a group, and stay off the main roads. And don't get too vindictive: we don't want to start a gank-war. Those can get annoying from what I understand.

Hm, there aren't international servers? If you really want in and we have to do Tyrant to do that, it'll have to be left up to a vote. It'd be allright with me, I wanted to try a pvp server after I got good anyway.

And yeah, we only need 5 for most times, so dummy chars to fill the list would be fine. We won't want to get into raids for a while anyway if we're all starting around first level, and we might find some good people to invite by then, in-game or out.

Also, do we want to organize our class/profession list before we start so we don't all end up doing the same thing?

And are we going alliance or horde? I'd prefer alliance because I know where most everything is between Stormwind and Ironforge.

Just to start the list, I'd prefer to stick with Warlock, Demonology specialization, and tailor/enchanter. If someone else wants to take enchanting, I'd be fine with taking up mining either for money or to help out any engineers/smiths that might want to take up something else instead. Since there's no gathering skill for tailors and enchanting is a pain in the ass, even if you're using tailoring to make enchanted gear to disenchant. But if nobody else is taking enchanting, I'll stick with it.

Also, I was looking and noticed that I can still get Shadowburn and the Felguard, leaving out a few less-than-useful abilities in Demonology. Can anybody tell me if that's worth it? Shadowburn seems to be a fairly powerful spell, and a good way to get Soul Shards. Better than Soul Drain anyhow.
