Not a cute boy, just a boring girl.
Everything about the Anniversary event sounds like that.

The only reason I can stand to keep doing MC is the massive amounts of schadenfreude each run provides. It's magical.

That and I can be really lazy as a disc priest there while still topping heal meters due to the way bubbles work. I watch movies and stuff while doing bosses.

MC really wasn't that bad, when I did it we never seemed to wipe and I was one of the tanks.

But now that I have Hatespark and Corehound I don't think I should go back. I don't even have an enchanter who could use the spell.

Maybe this guy that flies is just sort of passing through, you know?



I confess I started doing it and was like "Literally anything else I could be doing with my warcraft time would be more materially beneficial (running heroix, levelling a alt)" and dumped out after like an hour..

I'm not super motivated by the cosmetic poo poo when there's still levers I could be pressing for the basic food pellets in my skinner box.

The smart move would've been tuning the bosses to basically fall over like 5-man normals except for Rag and maybe one or two others, so even disorganized groups can breeze through it in 30-45 minutes and have a fun 10th anniversary event. Instead it's a lovely slog that no one wants to do, and yeah it fits because haha vanilla sucked, but in the end you're still spending time on something that sucks and is unfun regardless of how meta it is.

I dunno, lots of folks complain that WoW is to easy now so maybe for the anniversary their just trying to give old players what they been asking for.

Transcending history, and the world, a tale of MS Paint and animes, endlessly retold.
Ask yourself if you really care about the pet or the fire enchant or if your brain is playing a trick on you

The results might be shocking!

The pet is supposed to be decent to good in pet battles. Also it's a pet. What do you do in MMOs besides collect ever increasing amounts of stuff? Pets, XP, gear. All pixels.

To be fair, I think I am the only one that has done it repeatedly and I am laughing the whole time. It's stupid and it sucks and that's why it's funny that everyone basically has to run it at least once. I get to watch 3 dozen people complain and cry out in despair for 2-4 hours.

E: It's basically the distilled essence of why I play and read about MMOs. I'll probably stop after if I get the pet and enchant still though, because I can get the same in LFR or heroics or w/e.

Crap I hope you don't need it for any pet achievements. How the hell am I going to get it in this amount of time left.

The runs I have been on have been about 2-3 hours. Even with a dozen wipes, no one decursing, and half the dps dying every fight.

I think it's very funny, but I also haven't played it, I just read about it at work and instead spend my free time on more fulfilling activities like games that are fun, household chores, shopping at local markets, etc.

You start out at Max level and can do the AQ opening event and OG Naxrammas and buy the discontinued vanilla mounts.

It's pretty much like stepping into a time machine. However if you bought the Physical version of WOD it comes with 6 discs and it has all the patches in the files itself so you can extract and make your own server of whatever version you want. The Beta models also still exist in some form in the files as well as all the unfinished areas that are now blocked off post cataclysm(i.e. vomit mountain).

It's really cool that Blizzard is nerfing Monk again. I didn't like contributing to raids, anyway.

I'm pretty much being facetious in that post, since Monk still does really good dps if played right. I just want to make sure nobody gets reaped.

I got the black panther and red raptor mount from ZG.

I was honestly not expecting that since it's drop rate is ungodly low. However I'm done with all Cataclysm Dungeon and Raid achievements except one. And all I need to do is stand on Nozdromaru's platform in Dragon Soul to finish off the final Cataclysm raid achievement.

Deck Defender is nolonger a pain in the rear end since any ranged spell kills the drakes before they even drop off the Vykrul. And You can solo the Lightning Rod achievement with a pet class.

Spent 2 hours wiping on Mar'gok because people are retarded. Got him down to 24% which shouldn't even be hard, but only me and 3 other dps pull over 18k on average (not including burst damage) so it's just a grueling slog all the way till phase 4. :whitewater:

I like how people in my guild are worrying about being able to do mythic eventually when we can barely kill poo poo in normal. Like Twin Ogron died during the berserk the other week after they killed the tanks and melee.

Pretty sure cutting the fat so we can clear normal & heroic is more important then trying to bloat the team to 20 for a theoretical mythic team.

Not really looking forward to Ko'ragh, much less Mar'gok.
