  1. Guzan deserves the start, having played such a large part in getting us there.
  2. Stelling just said the rumour on skysports news- looks like its happening.
  3. There was a small period in the first half where we played some great passing football -apart from that it wasnt pretty but Stoke pressed hard and were up for it. Stoke deserved a draw and we were lucky to win- though our defending at the moment is incredible- such great blocks and determination in the back 4. I didnt think we could replace laursen but man our defence is awesome. Great to get the 3 points- but its rare you get to enjoy the last ten minutes of a villa game!
  4. To be fair- cant see them relegated this season. Much as I choke on that statement.
  5. Still playing but stopped 25 man raiding now- just ten man. Killed everything in normal mode and working on some hard modes. I want to see arthas die then Im going to stop at cataclysm.
  6. I was actually thinking about this recently as I started to watch through the series again. I voted 4, but series 3 was close. Watching it again its great to see how events are set up in much earlier episodes.
  7. Anyone else still raiding? My guild is going through one of those "drama" periods so our progress has gone downhill. We only killed leviathan on reset1, though had razorscale down to a low % and wiped due to tanks panicing. I was expecting us to get about 4/5 bosses in, as did others. Some of our new players are just pretty poor- with little pre easymode patch experience.
  8. Raiding isnt in the same league as it was. Even heroics and normal dungeons dont compare, I pugged a heroic which I and the other members had never been in before and we didnt wipe once- would never have happened in tbc. I have high hopes for Ulduar though- its still the same developers that made those dungeons so Im sure theyll fix it ( though the widespread class changes for 3.1 worry me that they are really struggling to find balance atm). At the very least Id like to see cc come back in- its a rare thing to see a sheep these days!
  9. Well for me I will be able to "complete" the game for the first time and be at the edge of progression. Im not up for massive farming ( especially running a ten man and a 25 man version at the same time), so once Ive killed malygos and got my alt to 80 I'll take a break until new content is patched.
  10. Finished naxx and sarth, malygos phase 2 but only few attempts due to people with the key going away over holidays. Raiding is very easy- killed kel on first pull. If the next instance is as easy I can see major problems for raid guilds. Already people dont care about achievements.
  11. I actually made an Illidan kill yesterday- he seems like a good fight but much easier than vashj or kael ( well of course hes easier now- but in general easier to understand). Looking forward to levelling again, though not really looking forward to raiding again. I think you can only do that for so long until the time you have to put in starts to bite.
  12. I can usually find groups for pqs and my guild does them also so thats a not problem. The main problems i have are- 1) my computer is low spec for it so at times I have poor framerate 2) I fear if I dont keep up with my guilds levelling I might be out in the cold 3) leads on from this that Im unsure new alts will have a good time in this game 4) tons of bugs ( pretty staple for a launch mmo though) Apart from that i really enjoy the story, scenarios (I have no problem getting groups- though im order) and have seen some really impressive rvr keep battles. I do worry for the long term future of the game though. I'll level to 40 and then make a call on wotlk vs warhammer. I doubt I'll go hardcore raiding in wotlk- maybe these ten man thingamajigs.
  13. I played pre tbc and remember the pvp rewards patch that killed raiding but cant remember them nerfing all raid mobs by 30% (hp and dmg). I wouldnt of seen this otherwise but theres no achievement in any kills so its just a bit strange. We all have these shiny new toys and everyones dps has gone through the roof. You will know that working on a boss for a month, even months gives great satisfaction when its dead, yesterday was just funny- no cheers. We just pulled all trash no cc and just aoed every group down. If it had stayed as is my guild would of killed ros and shahraz, with new skills probably illidan. My guild will probably see some of sunwell- Im going back to warhammer ps regarding judgements- you need to learn them from trainer.
  14. I came back to wow to check out the new skill changes and its crazy. On progress this week- my guild one shot reliquary of souls, killed shahraz and the 3rd pull with half the raid not in shadow res gear, killed council on pull 3, and had illidan to 50% on pull 2. illidan will die tonight. Blizzard have turned all the mobs to tourist mode. As a paladin I can now heal 2 tanks at once through beacon and raid heal through judgement of light. I wonder how hard wotlk will be? On ej reports are that the new naxx is also seriously easy.
  15. The specs haven't been released yet but I have seen in an interview with the developers they won't be anywhere as bad as AOC. Of course warhammer wont do as well as wow, but I do think it will take a chunk away from it. Theres a lot of people that will go over, it just has to be decent, and the pve aspects have to be good as well as the pvp. Hopefully once the NDA is lifted we'll hear more about the pve instances. As a straw poll about 1/3 of my guild are planning to play the beta/swap. Just depends if its any good. These are people who have played wow for several years- theres only so much you can do until you get bored. Yes I know warhammer will be largely the same, but the new ideas and touches might make the difference.
  16. I'm still playing this incredibly. It's really only down to my guild and the fact my brother plays it. I don't log much now apart from raids- with progress now on Archimonde, and Bloodboil. I hope to have Archimonde and illidan down pre expansion. I've had a few attempes on Kalec too but that was more of a fun run. The warhammer beta will open soon, and it depends on the quality of that whether I play wotlk. I know everyone says it but Vashj/Kael have so far been the highlight of raiding. Bt/mh havent be great so far, with Teron beng so frustrating. You literally know if a new guy, or a poor player gets ghosted first or second its a wipe.
  17. Im on Vashj now- with hopefully a kill tonight or next week. We're 3/4 phase 2 with striders now under control. 9 wipes yesterday on her. Its a fun fight- just hoping to get to black temple before the expansion, where Ill decide to carry on playing or give up.
  18. Any thoughts guys on zul aman? I went in there yesterday for a couple of hours with the guild. A well balanced group- everyone in tier 4 level full epics- couple of tier 5 level things. Killed Bear boss on the first try, Killed lightning guy on 3rd try, had the hatcher guy nearly dead when we called it a night. A fun instance with some good upgrades for me- i think it'll help us in ssc (3/6 now had a few problems with Leo). I don't think it will take very long to get on farm though. i'd expect to be finished in 1/2 weeks. I like the trash often forces you to move at a pace.
  19. My guild tried leotheras for the first time the other day. He was at 12% on try 3 so Im sure he'll die next time. Quite a bit of trash from lurker to him though including some not owned by him so we got screwed on wipe recovery after an ankh disconnect. A fun fight- I destroyed my demon each time. We had problems if a tank got it though, one of the paladin tanks got mc'd and was damn hard to kill especially as he used lay on hands. Not sure how he didnt kill his demon though as a pally they are quite easy with 350 ish spell damage.
  20. I'm so glad I didnt spend 25 badges to get the band of halos, when I can get the same item for ten minutes work! Where are you guys up to in raiding now? I changed guilds again as my guild fell apart, now in a guild starting ssc with hydross and lurker dying last week.
  21. That fear ward change on cooldown means it becomes meaningless for fights like nightbane. Paladin tanks and druids are hurt there.
  22. Gz Oz. We've been working on Gruul for a few weeks with our best try 15%, with tank down at growth 13. Im not sure if our dps isnt up to it, the tank isnt strong enough or the healers too slow. Its probably a mix of all these- though we are getting there. First set of attempts- 60%, attempts 2 25%, attempts 3 15%. Hopefully he'll be dead next time.
  23. Guys some help please with WWS. My combatlog randomly stopped after one attempt in gruul- any idea why that might happen? Also does anyone have loggerhead? Do you know the command to reenable? (for instance decursive is /dcr reset) Sorry for the tech advice but I couldnt find the answer easily on wws forum.
  24. I think we're going to miss out Mag- it was fun to get into ssc and try the trash (which wasnt really very hard) and we got a lot of recipe/epic drops. I think it'll be the same in TK. From what Ive heard if we can kill hkm, we should be able to do Lurker, and if we can do Gruul we can do loot reaver.
