Took him from searing gorge to loch modan, went underwater, lost controll, went under the world, then it resumed its normal flight path. Had it under controll for like 10-15 mins though. Would have taken it to IF but it was really hard to control.

Now Im trying to view my screenshots of it, but can't figure out how to view them??

EDIT: Figured it out.

Seen it happen 2 times before....just lag!

Zeraph · 06-24-2005, 10:02 AM

No. I actually had controll. I took it through the tunnel from searing gorge to loch modan. I could stop it when i wanted to, and it lasted for 15ish minutes, no way it was lag.

It was like a mount right?

maybe it was a glitch.

Lasereth · 06-24-2005, 11:36 AM

I've had the gryphon thing happen to me a few times also. I drove one from Darkshire to Booty Bay once.

Scorps · 06-25-2005, 12:03 PM

I need some help...I checked the WoW main webpage and can't find any info on transfering a charter from one server to another.

(both servers are normal)

and one know?

noodles · 06-25-2005, 01:07 PM

1) griffin bug is a bug and yes you are riding the griffin and others see you
2) you can only transfer characters when blizzard allows it and from specific servers to specific servers. i don't think this services is active atm.

Scorps · 06-25-2005, 02:15 PM

2 bad...its a normal to normal server so there shouldn't be much trouble!

Clear things up?

Zeraph · 06-27-2005, 05:37 PM

Yeah, frosstbyte explained it right, complete sentences 4tw! heh

I just know that in every MMO I've been in (5 or 6) it was always a big ordeal to transfer characters, EQ you had to pay like 60 bucks, and in all the rest you either didn't have the option or it was only under special circumstances like WoW.

Just joined a new guild, Death Bringers on Bleeding Hollow, anyone know anything about them or is anyone in them? I like the few people I've played with so far.

Frosstbyte · 06-28-2005, 12:12 AM

Ugh, I'm having bad raid luck recently. I just did a baron run with Death and Taxes (a big guild on Shattered Hand) and they'd been weird about loot the whole time. The leader looted two BoPs using the dice after everyone else passed without asking. Then, right before we got to the baron I DC'd and they went and killed him in the one minute it took me to sign back on after losing my connection. I mean, come on, how much does it hurt you to wait an extra minute before killing the main loot person in a run if someone who has been there the whole time disappears? Thank goodness nothing I wanted dropped.

Oh the transfer charter option is closed right now....but it should be back open!

I'm just starting to hate windrunner!

Zeraph · 06-28-2005, 11:14 AM

Good news for most, the 1.6 patch notes say that PvP rewards are usuable based on highest rank in your characters lifetime rather than current! That means no more pvp item decay. You can become high warlord, get all your equipment and still use it as a private.

Tons of other good changes this upcoming patch as well. This has gotta be their best patch.

Frosstbyte · 06-29-2005, 01:24 AM

I'm waiting for 1.7 (or maybe 1.8). There are supposed to be some major hunter changes coming down the pipe, and I'd love to see what they're planning to do with my class. Hopefully we won't be nerfed even farther into oblivion.

The PvP rewards thing is uber, though. I'll never make warlord, but it gives me hope for completing my knight set.

Jadedfox · 06-29-2005, 02:14 AM

Keeping your pvp gear even if you lose rank is the best thing that could happen to the pvp situation in WoW. I wonder if they were forced into changing it this way due to the numerouos bugs with the honor system (people not gaining rank, losing rank, not getting any any honor points etc)

--jaded

Redjake · 06-29-2005, 04:37 AM

I stopped my subscription a week ago. When I heard of being able to keep your PVP gear now, I am going to renew. Blizzard really made a good decision this time around.

dabossy2k · 06-29-2005, 07:53 AM

Really I was a knight then took a vacation came back and couldnt use any of my stuff that sucked. But now we will be able to keep our gear that rocks.

Based on past scheduling, I'd guess two Tuesdays from now. Test realms just went live, so they'll probably give two weeks for people to rummage through and break stuff and complain and change and fix and blah blah and then release on the 12th of July. If we're unlucky, the 19th, but I'd guess the 12th.

On a side note, whichever moron decided to change the ancient bone bow from 87-88 damage range to 62-112 damage range is a horrible person and I hope they die in a grease fire. Why would you change a weapon whose only purpose was to put out consistent damage and threat? I swear.

Lasereth · 06-29-2005, 02:24 PM

I renewed my subscription due to the PVP honor items being permanent.

The only downside to WoW right now is the removal of my favorite talent in the entire game come next patch.

RIP Bloodthirst

You get them from the Officer's Lounge in Stormwind or Orgrimmar, depending on faction. If you don't know where it is, just ask a guard.

Frosstbyte · 06-29-2005, 11:46 PM

5/8 beaststalkers. Voone dropped my gloves tonight. Also got Cape of the Black Baron last night. Four more drops (painweaver, head, chest, shoulders) and one more quest (mark of fordring) and I'll have everything I want for non-raid endgame gear. Woo!

Well of course it's shitty. You can get private by PVP'ing for an hour or less.

I was looking over some preview patch notes at http://www.wowguru.com/#news_5368 and came across this at the bottom:

"-The Barrens should now feel more alive."

I don't think it was listed under any sub-secion of the patch notes, it's just a stand-alone comment they made and I have no idea what they mean by it, lol. Made me laugh though when thinking about Barrens general chat

People who have been playing around in the test realms can quite figure out what they mean by that, either. Oh well, I'm sure someone will find out eventually. Maybe they just added some new trees! Or...something...

So I've always wanted to ride a wolf with my Tauren. I've been doing some research and found that I basically need to get the highest reputation with the Alterac Valley Faction to be able to purchase this, a Frostwolf Howler: http://www.thottbot.com/?i=40565

Proof that a Tauren can ride it found on a link from the same Thott page:
http://www.worldofwarcraft.gr/forum/...tachmentid=524

I hear the best way to gain faction with them is to play in AV BG games and loot as many corpses as possible. I think I might embark on this mission soon but I'm afraid that the AV BG on my server is horrid like most and has 4+ hour waiting lines so doing this will take forever. Do you guys know if there's any other ways to raise reputation with this group outside of the BG?

Thanks for any info.

That looks like the Fenris wolf he's riding, that thing is massive.

And MrFlux, what UI are you using? Specifically, where did you get the DPS monitor for titan panel and what frames are you using for character info, if you don't mind saying.

MrFlux · 07-01-2005, 12:40 AM

The DPS meter for Titan Panel is the Recap plugin for titan (so you wanna get Recap and get [Titan]Recap).

For character info I use Minigroup can't remember which version

Then CTmod/buffmod/raidassist (<3 CTRA) and Atlas, gatherer, call to arms, lootlink (currently borked), auctioneer, sellprice, playerlinkmenu, MyInventory... and some others probably but I can't remember 'em all.

Frosstbyte · 07-01-2005, 02:52 AM

I would give a lot to be able to ride a wolf. That thing is fucking awesome. Stupid rams...who wants to ride on a big damn sheep?
