hey cold on a cob, did you ever end up getting might and magic x

it's on sale for another hour or so at a better price than the summer sale (50%) and i'm considering giving it a shot b/c even if it doesn't look like it would work on an mba, i have two desktops that are more than qualified for the recommended specs

otoh apparently all development ended recently with no further patches coming, ubisoft cut the purse strings entirely, so it's never going to get any better than it is, barring fan patches

anyone else with relevant experience/opinion, chime in by all means

How do you put up with the quest that many times? I am barely halfway with my first cloak (took a long break) and I want to kick whoever designed it in the balls. I did the math and the current step I am on would take me 40 hours of raiding with the non 100% buff at the drop rate I was having. And that is just the first step, speaking to a friend of mine she said one of the next steps is even worse.

I'm not sure, but I think it's mostly because I hate not playing a character to its potential. If I'm not going to be optimal and be the best I can be (or close to it) then there's no point in playing. Since I play mostly DPS classes, I can't go without the Legendary cloak.

That's not to say that the cloak isn't as important on tanks and healers, but when you have two similarly geared DPS next to each other with one having the cloak and the other not, there should be a noticeable difference.

As I mentioned before, my Hunter is going to be my 4th Legendary cloak, and 2 out of the preceding 3 were done while the content was irrelevant.

My Mage (first cloak) finished hers a week after everyone else, because she was a week behind on the Epic. Meaning that she did not have the Epic during ToT and got the Epic and Legendary the second week into SoO.

My DK (second) and Rogue (third) were done /far/ after any of the content was relevant, unfortunately, but it was the driving force to be "optimal" that got me through the grind.

As it is, my Hunter is 1000/3000 Valor earned and already 550-equipped, which is absurd.

The character's easily got another two months of the quest ahead and will be fully geared in at least Normal/Warforged gear by then, all while sporting a stellar 553 cloak...

That's the part I don't look forward to.

re: WoW legendary cape quest

keep in mind, if you're lucky this will take at least 9 weeks

I have 3 characters that I'm active on: a 582-equipped Mage (my main), a 563 Rogue and a 560 Blood DK.

I like to try and get a Normal Garrosh kill on all three during the week, in an effort to farm out some BoAs I'm still missing, but it absolutely baffles me at how hard it is for a PuG to kill him... I'm writing this after just spending 70 minutes trying to kill him on my DK, without any success.

During that 70 minutes of Hell, I had to not only lead, but teach people to play their classes. Honestly, I'm absolutely sick of it. Watching Heroic-geared Rogues die to Iron Stars is completely ridiculous, and having to tell them about using Cloak of Shadows for it is irritating.

So, my main bitch is that you (95% of the player base) need to do your part and learn your class/the fights before joining groups and holding competent players back.

Thanks.

I got a lot done yesterday:

Started off tending to my farm and taking care of the crafted dailies, and then it was off to Magisters' Terrace for my (five) runs. The mount dropped on my first run of the day, so that was really nice.

After that I went to Darkmoon Faire to do all of the dailies across my five 90s and lone 85. While funneling prize tickets into one character and completing the "object quests" on another, I was able to buy both prize ticket mounts (for 180 tickets each).

I got the Darkmoon Eye pet from the reward bag from beating Jeremy Feasel and I also got Moon Moon from killing Moonfang (only killed her twice yesterday).

After that it was six Sethekk Halls runs for a chance at the mount off Anzu. Now that I'm done with MT I'm back to running this as much as I can, so hopefully it doesn't take too long for it to drop. : P

I also finished Valor capping on four out of my five 90s, but that's pretty easy to do with both the +50% and +100% buffs - it's like 3.5 Heroic scenarios.

Pretty good day though, that's for sure.

Also how can you not figure out how to play an old RPG? Walk around and talk to dudes and stuff until someone tells you what's going on. kill things.
