Hmm. Looks real, but old. All the pictures, text and menu setup appears to be an old Blizzard standard, but, something bothers me about it. I can't find the information on it by going through worldofwarcraft.com's main page. Also, when following up on the other race pages, the layout is quite different. Hmm, I'm not too sure on this one.

You guys going to be on test server 9 or 14? Only server 9 and 14 are PVP, other test server are PVE.
I already got a head start on server 9 with my tauren Just drop a line which server you guys going to be in.

I'm still confused about the difference between PVE and PVP servers. I did some reading at the WoW websites but still have some basic questions.
Can you do all of the quests in the PVP server? Is the PVP's main difference just that you're able to go hostile against other players or is the server just one large battleground made for people to fight eachother in? I'd like it if it were the first so it's a little more realistic while I quest, but I'll stick to the PVE if I'm going to be PK'ed all day while I'm trying to quest. Thanks for any info. -Tim

I dunno, but I know there's quite a lot of uproar over the new patch. Lots of people claiming it's changed the way the game used to play pretty drastically. Might just be the usual mumbo jumbo but worth checking out. I'm just glad the game's finally here. I've been following so much drama for so long and I haven't even played it yet! Let's hurry things up here, OB.

UPDATE: They are taking the durability penalty OFF PvP in the next patch! But I'd still rather have a straight up mandatory XP penalty than durability in PvE...at least then dying would only cost time. Last edited by n0nsensical; 11-08-2004 at 12:07 PM.. |

If you die, all of your items lose 10% durability, even items not equipped. It costs a certain amount of money to repair these items. If they get to 0% durability, their beneficial effects such as armor rating, stats, etc. are negated. Items do not lose power until 0%. They don't "break" at 0% either...it's impossible to lose an item from durability. The bad part? Repairing items can be very expensive, especially if did over and over and over...and the true problem surfaces! I've PVP'ed between Southshore and Tarren Mill for hours at a time and died more than 10 times. That means for every 1-2 hours on a PVP server you may have to completely repair your armor which is VERY expensive. At level 50+, repairing all of the items in your inventory takes more than 3-5 GOLD. Furthermore, instead of the Spirit Healer taking experience to revive you (if you choose the SH, you can always run to your corpse for no penalty), it now simply makes all of your items at 0% durability and puts a 30 minute resurrection sickness on you that seriously cripples your ability to fight. Like I said, it takes 3-5 gold to repair your armor now, so every SH rez is gonna cost a ton of money and leave you crippled for 30 minutes. Ok, so the durability thing is gonna cost a lot of money and PVP'ers are gonna be more chicken-shit now because they don't wanna die. I could probably live with that without too much complaining. But wait! There's more! Blizzard has the notion that casters should use items to cast some of their spells. Warlocks already do this to a certain extent. I wouldn't mind a caster having to use an item to cast a spell if the item was relatively cheap. You know, maybe 50 copper per buff, or 1 silver to teleport? No. Mages now have to spend 20 SILVER to teleport their group and 10 SILVER to self-teleport. Mages get the self-port spell at level 20. Asking a level 20 to spend 10s to teleport is basically asking them to wipe out half of their bank account. 20s for a group teleport is almost as bad...but you can charge people for this and ask your group members to help pay for the reagent needed. BUT 10S FOR SELF-PORT??? Mages are NEVER gonna self-port now. On top of that, all of the major caster-buffs cost money to cast after rank 4. It costs 7-20 silver for the items needed to cast caster buffs for every person. Why am I gonna buff my entire party if it takes 1 gold per hour? 1 gold is just about what I make on the average DAY. These new reagents needed to cast the buff spells are wasting everyone's gold supply. So basically, I'm still gonna play the game and enjoy it, but these changes seriously affect the gameplay (especially the reagents). My solution would be making the reagents cost 50c for buffs and 1s for self-port and leave group port at 20s (group members can help pay for it). If Blizzard doesn't change this then no one is ever going to cast a rank 4 buff spell on anyone in the game (even themselves) ever again. Mages aren't gonna self-port anymore. It's basically ruining the advantage that caster classes had. I'm guessing that Blizzard is gonna change the whole reagent thing...a thread was created on the WoW forums and the thread hit 25 pages in <I>two hours</I>. -Lasereth

Currently installing the client. Downloaded after 21 hours (hush hush ) . It's supposed to be the ST2 client but it says OB client...very odd. Either way it's downloaded and I'm just waiting for WoW.com to release the OB signups so I can get a key. See you out there soon, Lasereth, it's about f-ing time

I wonder how many OB accounts File Planet has, and also when the WoW site will start handing them out? www.worldofwarcraft.com says this is an "initial run" of accounts.

Turns out that they're going to remove the durability loss on PVP servers (didn't mention PVE though).

I'm going to be playing East Coast PVP server. I was going to be Horde but I have no problems being Alliance. My main is probably going to be a Night Elf Priest but I'm going to wait until retail to start playing because I really don't want to get attached to a character and have him get deleted. It'd be great to play with fellow tfpers.

I got to find you guys after I get my Rogue to Lvl 10 (Duel Daggers baby!) Have you guys rode the Deeprun tram yet? I hear it's pretty cool, can't be as cool as the Hippogryph ride, that was amazing.
me and Ravenshot Backstabin' our way across Teldrassil! New Rogue first impressions The game is awesome. Hands down the best game I have ever played. Only been playing for 1 night, already lvl 8. The people on the PVP server (east 16) were nice and friendly, even had a lvl 1 priest follow me around and watch me kill stuff while he healed for a few hours. It's the greatest thing to turn around after the battle and have someone Bowing to you in awe. The game ran smooth, no lag for me at all, there were a few times when I was looting a mob where I didn't get up after kneeling down, but it only lasted a few seconds. Wandered thru the forest in stealth mode, sneaking up on people and scaring them. The only question I have is; can I use backstab as a first attack? I sneak up on a mob, and I click the BS button, and it says I do not have a target, but as soon as I aquire the target with the regular attack button, I come out of stealth, and the mob turns aroung to face me, and backstab no longer works. Is BS not meant to be a first attack? Am I missing something here? Any other rogues in the game want to explain?
