I just upgraded to the patch last night. I didn't like the new UI they provided so I went and updated my Gypsy and it works like a charm. It's got everything I need without have all the extras that I don't want in something large like Cosmos. So far no problems at all for me. Oh and I'm a 20 undead mage on Elune. Used to be a 27 NE rogue.

Why ditch the NE?

Well I never played with Cosmo and I have to say that for me the new additions are just what I needed. 50k away from level 40 but only 13g. Yikes.

Now, I really did enjoy the WoW rogue, but I felt they were a bit too powerful solo PvE and 1v1 PvP. There were a MILLION rogues out there too. Also the fact that they weren't very desirable in raids was a big thing for me.

I really like the versatility of the mage. The CC, the AE, the huge burst dmg, the control. Definitely more challenging than I found the rogue to be. Plus I'd never successfully played a caster to high level in a MMORPG, so I thought I'd give it a try. Switched from Alliance to Horde because of friends, I like the evil side better, and there are WAY less Horde on my server, we are outnumbered 3 - 5 : 1. Plus undead have an awesome racial ability (the break fear/sleep/charm resist).

Been having a blast since the switch. I do miss having weapons and armor though. So I think when I hit the 50's I'll make a Horde warrior alt.

Now I just need to get my undead warhorse and I'll be all set

OK, question regarding the new action toolbars:

Is there a way to quickly access them without actually having to click? You access your main one obviously with just a press of 1 through =, but... is there a way to quickly tag something on the bar ABOVE it, or on the bar above/right?

I love the fact they finally added more but... IMO, makes it kinda pointless if you don't have a method to quickly access what ya need.

I've been playing WoW for a solid year through Closed Beta and I've never used the shortcut keys. I've played both melee and casters to a high level and never had the need for one. I don't think there's a hotkey for the new UI bar yet but it's certainly not pointless. I do know some people who use ONLY the keyboard (like my brother) so I know what you're talking about.

You know, this is probably a miserably stupid question, but I'm dumb like that sometimes, so I'll ask it anyway. When I take screenshots, they get saved as TGA Files. Now, what the hell is a TGA file, what do I open it with and how do I do something meaningful with it? I've got some of what I think are decent shots, but I can't use them because this isn't an extension I'm familiar with. Thanks for the help.

[Edit] Nevermind. Did some digging on the worldofwarcraft.com website and found what I needed.

You can bind them under the options menu. Go to Key Bindings. Then you can bind keys to your second action bars, or your right action bars.

I've about had it with WoW. I only get to play during prime time usually due to work and family stuff. Problem is, the auth server is down half the time, or laggy as hell. Then when I DO log in, the server is so busy that there is either 1-2 second lag. If those aren't the issues Im having, its usually due to dying and not getting my corpse icon on the map so I cant rez. Its been like this for over a week now. My server is not on the transfer list and Ill be damned if I will put the time into a char on another server only to have that one get busy.

bank mod.. see everything in your bank and the bags on all your characters.. (have to be in the bank for each one to load)

loot mod.. go in the ah and upload takes a bit but.. you can see the price on everything currently there that way you know if that green or blue is worth anything.

my new mage armor pwns with my frost/arc spells i tick about +56 mana now thats almost 2.5% a tick hehe

mass mail is a life saver.. seeing how my junk pally is 300 mining and skinning and i send it all to my rogue and dwarf (leatherworking and engineering hehe)

I am a wee bit confused. I just tried to log on and it said my server was down for maintence (Zul'jin). I then logged back in to play on alt on Gorefiend and I downloaded the patch from a few days ago again. Granted, it said version 2 but I am still unable to play. I tried the official site but its either down or its getting a butt load of traffic. This happen to anyone else or have any hard info on whats going on? Thanks

All of the servers went down today for scheduled maintenance. Most were supposed to be up at 2 PM EST and some were supposed to be down until 5 PM EST for "extended" maintenance. To my utter horror (and thousands of others) the servers were not brought back up at their planned times. It was around 5 PM before ANY servers were brought back up and the extended servers are still down at 8 PM. My GF was sick today and didn't go to work so that left us an ENTIRE day to play WoW...and the servers have been down for 11 hours for "maintenance!"

Damn, I'm starting to sound like all the fanboys on the WoW forums. Well I truly am pissed! This is the last day of my Easter break and dammit I wanted to make it count.

All this server downtime is really starting to annoy me. I love the game, but since I don't have a lot of time to play, having the server down all the time is very discouraging. I think I need to break down and buy HL2 to fill the downtime when I want to game... Hrmmmmmm....

The new patch introduced Quest Logs on the right side of your screen. Just shift click on a quest and it does basically the same thing as that mod. It doesn't have the whole quest log there though...you gotta shift click the quests you want manually!

Oh, and our server finally came back up. Yee-ha!!

I just got a collection of different mods....

but yeah there's MonkeyQuest, MonkeyClock, BagStatusBars, BuffTimers (shows seconds as well as minutes remaining), and Atlas, among others.


Reading the latest server notice, they're giving players a whole lvl of rested state due to all the downtime.... but they have to take the servers down to do it. Does anyone else find this humourous?

The new WoW patch shows buff timers automatically.

I find it humorous also. I'm betting that something else is fucked up and they're taking the servers down to fix it...and covering it up by saying that the rested EXP is being added. I'm still happy about the rested EXP though. My warrior will get to 56 in no-time with it!

I'm not sure theyre clever enough to have thought of that. Otherwise it seems like they would have done something like that already.
Anyways, I'm defintely happy with the bonus, they need to do it more often. I just wish that whatever bonus they gave you wasn't capped (i.e. if I already had a rest bonus of 1 level then when they added the 1.5 I'd have 2.5 instead of 1.5) since I felt I had to play a little extra last night to burn off my rest bonus (I had about a levels worth) to take full advantage of the bonus.

So I guess they gave an XP bonus today to make up for all that downtime. I managed to grind 2 levels out of it. Almost got a 3rd level out of the day, but I got bored.

almost lvl 34

So this is a horribly dorky question, but my friends who played WCIII and Frozen Throne couldn't answer it and I couldn't find it on the website. Does anyone know what happened at Dalaran? There's some ruins with Alliance friendly elementals and casters and then the city is surrounded by a big glowing purple dome that I can't pass through. It doesn't really make any difference, but it seems like something that's pretty important if they bothered to go to the trouble of sealing it off and such.
