[WoW] Thinking on coming back, how much has it changed? - Page 7

Zehn - Vhex · 05-10-2008, 07:12 PM

All level 20-60 quests give 33% more xp and xp requierd to go from 20 to 60 was reduced by 25%. Numbers may be off but that's the jist of it.

For levelling a pally do Ret to atleast late 30's, at that point youll have enough talent points for the prot grind option. Staying deep ret is more straightforward normal fighting, but the prot spec can grind faster.

Im currently leveling up a shammy, now 54, the exp changes are such a huge change. 40's were painless avg'ing a level every 3'ish hours.

Figured this would be the most reasonable spot to get an answer for a wow related question without going to the other threads..

I just got back home from being out for the weekend.. i check my email to see wow telling me about my information change.. i go to their website and try and log on.. no dice. so obviously somebody changed my password.

My question is.. what are the chances of me getting my account back.. IF im not the original name holder? I took over the account from oh.. early 2006 at the very latest and have been using it since then? Obviously i wouldnt know what the secret question or anything is.. I'm gonna be pissed if i just lost all my characters out of the blue.

If you have the email address or the original CD's I think you might be in luck. Otherwise I am pretty sure your boned.

You're definitely going to need the CDs, secret question, a photo-copy of the original owner's ID, among other things, to get the info all back if you aren't the name holder.

Or just go to Best Buy and buy the Battlechest for $39.99.

Hmm i'll go with that method once i can get in touch with the original account holder i guess.. god this shit pisses me off. Even if i get those, i really have no clue what id do if they ask for secret question or anything.

Needless · 05-11-2008, 01:56 PM

I actually think im just gonna say fuck it.. my girlfriend hasnt seen wow until i logged on to catch some asshole on my warrior deleting and DEing his shit. She thought the game looked really pretty so shes trying the 10 day trial.. All else fails i'll restart with her for something to do anyway lol.

Guess it was a good time for my account to get toasted

Duppin · 05-12-2008, 12:00 AM

Screwed around on a trial account some today, got a human mage to 10.

It's sortof entertaining but I don't know; how well does WoW actually hold up these days as a casual game? I can't see myself ever being a four hours a night MMO gamer again.

It holds up very well for casuals, as long as they don't overdo their time played and find a strategy that works for them regarding instances (such as running them only with a set group of friends, late start guild, not doing them at all...).

much like the poster above.. its pretty damn easy, even once you hit 70.. if you cant stand doing the instance groups due to time. you'll still be able to do the Season 1 or 2 by the time youre 70 honor grind.. arenas, tons of dailies ect.

Lenardo · 05-12-2008, 06:47 AM

as an ex-raider and a now casual player, wow works very well for the casual.

want to do an instance, do it when you want (helps even more if you are the guilds ONLY level 70 healer in the guild)

want to do pvp- go fer it noone to go "you must be "insert entrance to raid zone" at 8pm eastern-

want to do a raid- now that one is slightly more difficult, I get offers to do karazan all the time- despite the fact that i have not done ANY raiding at all with my current main on exodar, and retired when when naxx arrived-i get them either right when i am starting an instance or finishing up for the night,
one of these days it'll be a time when i'm actually available.....

casually i make about 1000-2000 gold a week- there isn't anything I cannot afford to buy in the game. heck i even dropped 1k gold for the of the shattered sun title last week,

How do dailies work? I have to be able to log off instantly when my kids or wife need me and I may not be logging back on in a week or more...it is like any other quest that I can come back to or are they time sensitive?

You can do each of the daily quests one time every 24 hours (Maximum of 25 dailies per day), and if you complete half of it it'll stay in your log for as long as you need to finish it. Most of them can be done in <15 minutes each, and with careful circuits you can do about 15-20 in <2 hours, depending on population/griefing/RNG.

There's only one daily (Shartuul) that I can think of where logging off in the middle of doing it will have any consequences beyond possibly being dead when you log back in. They're just normal quests that become available again the next day after you turn them in.

Brikker · 05-12-2008, 04:35 PM

You know what is fucking retarded? The Darkmoon Faire.

Why is it not up in Terokkar ALL the time? Why is there a fucking MONTH in between it being somewhere?

Fuck me for buying a Blessings deck a day after the faire ends and not knowing it wouldn't be around again until fucking June.
