Yeah, patching as I type :)
Only around 320~350MB, so shouldn't take too long.
Jamie Apr 26th 2011 3:58PM
How long to patch? Anyone see Lightinghoof online yet? Need to get out of work!!!!
Shinae Apr 26th 2011 3:59PM
Come on, clock-out time!
Good luck to those who can log on now. I hope the patch hasn't brought any lag or new bugs upon us.

As a Rogue, I approve this patch.. as in, I will never be on the ground and not be in stealth. Ever. (Seriously, with the Quickening talent and Nightstalker talent if you pop sprint, you run nearly as fast as an epic mount IN STEALTH!!!!!!!!)

It's pretty awesome, right?
Deshishi Apr 26th 2011 4:10PM
I have never done the original ZA. Have I missed something here?
Moonfaxx Apr 26th 2011 4:18PM
Yes.
:)

You only missed the best 10-man instance to this day. Some people say Karazhan was better, and I would agree if it wasn't for the long haul of trash mobs that you had after The Curator. That one stretch of trash pulls was horrible after the first time you cleared the place.
Zul'Aman was overall the best raid ever, imho. I'm sad I won't see it as a raid again. The timed event for the first bosses, and the wide spectrum of loot. And it was the one thing that was offered to guilds who couldn't muster 25 people for raiding and was well and done in Karazhan.
Deshishi Apr 26th 2011 4:21PM
Saddest face on earth
Wrong answer, guys
Shinae Apr 26th 2011 4:38PM
Well, where have you been for the past 3 years? Unless you just started playing in Cata, how could you have missed ZA?
Deshishi Apr 26th 2011 4:52PM
I started in fall 2006, with on and offs during the years.
Honestly, I don't know. I'm not the raiding type, I was 12-13 back then. I didn't consider myself good enough, I didn't have the gear, and I had regular bed times. I never went with the tribute runs in wrath.
My guild had one run a month ago. I was away at the time.

I'm sick and tired of the freakin Trolls. guh!!
PeeWee Apr 26th 2011 4:21PM
I would love a raid where you killed nothing but gnomes.
killercactiii Apr 26th 2011 6:16PM
Like the quest in Uldum where you splatter the pygmies with the giant flaming ball!
Tim Apr 26th 2011 6:18PM
I could go for that. I love to hate and smash Pygmies
shomechely Apr 26th 2011 4:30PM
New dungeons! Squueeeeee!
Neyssa Apr 26th 2011 4:24PM
Some europeans are really curious here: is it true that they put back the portals to dalaran and shattrah? You will know it earlier than us :)
Dh0n0vh4n Apr 26th 2011 4:26PM
seconded!
Azurite Apr 26th 2011 4:34PM
Yes, there are portals in Dal/Shat that teleport you to SW/Org.
Just checked in the Live Realms.
