I have finally gotten that monkey off my back! Last night, my wife and I joined a pug guild group and downed Deathwing! Gauu and Charix, Destroyer's Ends! I was very pleased to have done it with my wife in the group (I wouldn't have otherwise), and we apparently made a strong impression (my wife mathed their top healer in total healing and HPS, and I topped in DPS and damage). They made allusions to recruiting us. They are a small group of folks in a level 5 guild, so I may see what their opinions are of joining OUR level 25 guild. We could easily keep their raid group autonomous within the guild if they have concerns. Who knows? It's just brainstorming at this point.

I dunno if any of it will work out, but I'm just thrilled to have downed the big dragon.

Congratulations man! I heard it was a tough match! But did he (Deathwing) dropped a good loot for you? I remember going for the Tier 2 Raid killing Greenscale (in Rift) for 4 hours and end up a disaster. But I am T2 ready on the game for upcoming raiding with Guild members or pug.

Thanks!

Well, it was the same guild group I had done the first seven bosses with last tuesday. Over all 8 bosses, I only got one piece of loot (a very nice agility trinket). Honestly, my two main goals were getting him dead and doing my job well (and I met both of those). Any loot at all was just icing on the cake. If my wife and I do start running with this group more regularly, I'm sure I will pick up more loot as I go.

The fight was a bit tougher than it should have been, since the overall dps was a bit on the low side, but it still only took us 3 or 4 tries to kill him last night. We got in before 8:30 and were looking down at his corpse by 9:20.

For those that casually play and not in the know, Patch 5.0 hits tomorrow with new skills, talents, etc. WoWhead has a little survival guide on the changes prior to MoP.

Garrosh is going to hell. I like that.

Sorry for double posting, but I made it into the game, on Dawnbringer with my level 85 Hunter Night Elf. I've been leveling since 21 September and now nearly one and a half month I'm on Cataclysm level.

As for MoP game content, I kinda like it a lot. At least a lot better than Cataclysm.

 

As Varian's son is missing during an assault near Pandaria starting zone. Destruction of Theramore, Death or Rhonin and Varian's son missing really means there will be an open war for both faction. But rejoice, the endgame for Mists of Pandaria is kill and eliminate Garrosh Hellscream once and for all over his thirst of power and war.

Mists of Pandaria -

Never played WoW, but always wanted to and because I love Giant Pandas I am really tempted to get into it now.

Question 1 - Can I just start with this game or do I need to play/own others prior?

Question 2 - I would love to find the action figures of these new characters, but I only find 1 character online and he is usually off the charts expensive. Are there any retail stores selling these?

Thanks.

You need to purchase all previous versions of the game. There are collections of them all that are fairly cheap, and typically on battlenet you can order the whole thing through digital download at I believe a lower cost (since you are getting no physical media).

However you can play the basic game till level 20, but you don't get races or classes that were added in the other expansion packs. Well Burning Crusade is packaged with basic WoW but not sure if it is for this feature.

Action figures typically found more at the specialty type shops, I can find many at Hastings for example. Gohastings.com is their website you can still get some there. One figure can only be bought on the Blizzard store site forget which it is.

Thanks wyldman11!

Actually, ALL races, including Pandaren, are free up until level 20 now, just not all classes.

Now the battle chest package are include Wrath of the Lich king. You could buy the Battle Chest, Cataclysm and Mists of Pandaria for 59.99 Dollars. It will give you a great discount if you have an account (that play till level 20).

I honestly burned out on WoW, the player in the dungeon, city, and raid are not supportive and generally ignorant to one another. it just leaving in and out whenever there's a Ninja Loot or having a bad healer. I am not going to face this type of guys anymore, it just disappoint that such a great game with a bad player's attitude.

One second rant, I've been doing 2 raids on RiftGame and Not having problem at all, they even gave me a welcome back hug and kisses. [endrant]

I don't think they have support for Pandarians yet, but I'm sure they will, is Figure Prints. You choose your character in game, choose a pre-designed pose, then get it printed out in a 3d model. I've got a few of them done. You can also do it with your Xbox Live Avatar. They are not articulated, but they are really cool. A little more personalized than just a figure.
