- Figure out how you'll work around the Sweeping Strikes/Deathwish swap
- Look for AddOn updates (or write some updates, if you're a mod author)
- Plot your guild's takedown of Zul'Aman
- Just plain get excited about the changes

I've been scoping over the pally talent tree changes...
Does anyone know if there are going to be any free respecs in this go around?
Plus I'm at work, so the extended time works for me. I just hope it's ready to rock when I get home :P

No free respec's.

Pizza, addon updates, and tf2

Not a suprise the realms aren't up yet.
No biggie to me, I'm at work and don't have much sympathy for people who can't play a game for another 2 hours in the middle of the day in the middle of the work week.

Get out.
Matt W. Nov 13th 2007 2:52PM
Yeah, Freehugz, like you wouldn't do that if you could.
Medros Nov 13th 2007 2:52PM
Recording podcasts, catching up on gamer comics, and preparing to go to the gym.

Badmojo:
No. There will not be a free respec. Yes, it is ridiculous, given that the tank and ret builds have been completely revamped by this patch.

Warcraft III : frozen throne FTW
Dota anyone?

It's like every patch they come up with some "unexpected problem" and could compensate for it. Someone on their staff believes in underestimating, probably underbills, and probably under hires for everything relying on sheer arrogance to get the job done. Smart managers and engineers always estimate more time than they'll realistically need (it's going to take an hour? no less than two to anyone outside the team working on it!) and always budget for more than they'll need. You look like an awesome genius when you always come in under budget and early. You look like someone who needs to work elsewhere when you're always apologizing for mistakes.
Very confusing to me, it must be a hellish job to work for Blizzard. I've never really heard anyone speak too highly of it, and there's probably quite a few good reasons why...
Oh well, back to Hellgate: London for another hour or four. Assuming they get it up by 1pm, and assuming it stays up once they patch it... and assuming all my addons aren't totally busted when I log in...
