Its hard not to read 'y' as a hard e. Thanks a lot spanish final.
vocenoctum May 12th 2011 10:03AM
For my part, I always like that the same people will use y as either "yes" or "why".
"Ready?"
"y"
"Because I asked you!"

I'm really, really sad they broke rezzing people on elevators. I'm going to miss the hell out of that. :'(
Schadow May 11th 2011 11:54PM
Dunno, it looks rife for exploiting. Everyone but one person leaps off the top of BWD's elevator, then the one stealthy person gets on the elevator and does the group-res guild reward, then sneaks past trash to the boss. Once he's there, everyone accepts the res.
Ta-da, trash mobs skipped.
Let's hope it not broken like that, but I have my worries.

If 9-24 people want to pay repair bills to skip a couple trash mobs...I say, let them. :)
razion May 12th 2011 1:16AM
Although, let's be honest, if you're regularly raiding with any degree of success, your repair bills can and will pay for themselves many, many times over and then some. Can you say "excess 100k gold in the gbank no one knows what to do with"?
Minos May 12th 2011 1:59AM
That was one of my favorite parts of the Gunship battle. Eventually my guildies learned not to accept my rezzes after that one, though.
Snuzzle May 12th 2011 2:09AM
Give it to me, by all means! I wish I had your problem :(
LynMars May 12th 2011 1:36PM
@Schadow: Except for the part where the guild teleport specifically says it's only useable outdoors or near the entrance of instances in order to avoid such exploitation.
toddless May 12th 2011 2:28PM
@LynMars
Schadow was referring to Mass Resurrection, a Guild Level 25 perk which resurrects a raid or party to the casters location. In other words, the entire party/raid would have to die, while one rogue or druid (maybe an excellent mage) sneaked by trash and then resurrected everyone on the other side.
The Have Guild Will Travel perk, a Guild Level 20 perk, of porting everyone to you, as you stated, only works in "outside" environments (i.e. not in instances).

"The Miniature Voodoo Mask dropped in Zul'Aman is now a Greed-only item. No class can roll Need on this item."
It should have been Need-only. Everybody needs voodoo gnomes.

Anyone know what this means exactly?
"The Blood of the Old God aggro radius during the Cho'gall encounter has been dramatically increased."
Windswept May 12th 2011 1:23AM
The Blood. IT WANTS YOU!!!!
Knob May 12th 2011 1:27AM
There must have been a spot far enough from where the Blood would spawn where healers would stand to not get aggro from them. Now they will. At least that's what I gathered from that.
klink-o May 12th 2011 2:32AM
I assume it's to fix the problem with the slimes sometimes just sitting there after they spawn.
Jeff (Not that one ^ ) May 12th 2011 2:36AM
Damn. Stupid things won't leave me alone as it is. :(
Hirumared May 12th 2011 4:24AM
sometimes the bloods will attack the snakes from my snake trap even when I'm aoeing them down from range, I'm guessing this will fix that.
Zorntastic May 12th 2011 8:44AM
Blizzard, y u no fix flying in ghostlands? Me no like using ground mount for quest achievements.
