Aaron Feb 20th 2010 8:22PM

Funspray Feb 20th 2010 8:25PM

Horde has had complete control of Stormwind lately because of it >_

Valt Feb 20th 2010 8:25PM

Valt yells: Yes, this is only beginning. I've been waiting for you, new patch...I am Valt.
Valt yells: As you can see, your PvP mounts...are now mine. I will now fill this mount tab, mount by mount, until the 100 mount achievement has been filled out...forever...

I understand this post is for people who missed the info, I just find it funny there was a post with all the info, then a dozen or so posts with individual bits of info, then another post compiling them again.

Also over on MMO-Champion they've announced they've found evidence that we'll be retaking Gnomer! The surface anyway. And the trolls will supposedly be reclaiming the Lost Isles.

I hate Frozo, and he isn't even in game yet! Man, if you thought the Frozen Orb ninjas were bad before . . .

Banic Rhys Feb 20th 2010 8:44PM

In my opinion his name is worse than the Orb needing his presence will cause.

Jay Feb 20th 2010 8:46PM

After the lfd system came in; and everyone started to need on them at the end of heroics, it just became common place to need on them.. So to say they're "ninja"ed is a little harsh.

Hal Feb 20th 2010 8:50PM

No, it's Ninja'ing them if you wait until 4 people roll Greed before rolling Need. It doesn't help your case if those people roll Need on everything they can from the final encounter before immediately dropping group.

Seriously, I don't know how it is on other people's battlegroups, but Bloodlust is somewhat civilized; most people roll greed on orbs. The only people who roll Need are the ones who wait for everyone else to roll Greed.

Kragragh Feb 20th 2010 9:29PM

It has nothing to do with being 'civilized' - it has to do with making a LOGICAL choice based on the mechanics of the need vs. greed system. If one choice trumps another, than it makes logical sense that EVERYONE should choose need on an item that is BoP and has the potential to be of use to anyone. Simple as that. If you want to eliminate these problems, you pick need.

I don't know why this is a difficult concept for some people.

Banic Rhys Feb 20th 2010 9:50PM

Yes, I also agree that needing is the correct option, but I greed because that's what my battlegroup does unfortunately.

Ametrine Feb 20th 2010 9:53PM

I have yet to see anyone Greed the Frozen Orbs.

Hal Feb 20th 2010 9:55PM

Kragragh, it's a different matter when you watch everyone roll greed and then roll need. You want to call that "making a logical choice," fine. The rest of us call that "being a jerk."

AltairAntares Feb 20th 2010 10:10PM

I don't know, my battlegroup must be weird or something, but in all of the randoms I've ran I've only seen someone need on a frozen orb once a month or two ago.

Kragragh Feb 21st 2010 10:45AM

My point, Hal, is that no one should be rolling greed for them in the first place. It's like leaving your doors unlocked and complaining that people shouldn't rob you because they should 'do the right thing'. I agree with you that after 4 greeds it's a dick move to roll need...I don't want that to happen to me, hence i roll need, which is whatever everyone should do.

Crafting items like that should just be need or pass I guess to clear up confusion.

Halgrimur Feb 20th 2010 8:47PM

Any ETA when this is gonna hit live?
I'd accept any estimation, based on solid deduction:D

Drakkenfyre Feb 20th 2010 8:58PM

It just went live yesterday. Do you think they have an estimation already?
