Someone describe what I've missed between 3.x and 4.0

Due to working 14+ hours a day for the last few months and not being able to log in regularly even before that, I've missed a lot of the awesome stuff leading up to Cataclysm. 

Can you guys give me a breakdown of the cool stuff I'm missing out on? Screenshots possibly. I know the final elemental invasion started today and I'm sad that I'm going to miss all this cool stuff.

Any way we could get more

Karli — Mon, 12/06/2010 - 19:22

Any way we could get more info on this thread?

 

I feel pretty overwhelmed at the idea of trying to play again.  Since I've been gone, it looks like a lot of basics are different.  Please feel free to answer the following questions:

 

  • I think vent info changed.  What's the news on that?
  • Where is the go-to download site for addons, and what do you recommend?  (At the very least I liked using a viewport and doing customized buttons)
  • What major game mechanics have changed for mages during the entirety of LK, and what (if any) changes are being made for Cata?
  • What major game mechanics have changed in general etc?

Thank you! <3

vent info is guild info.


The website here has a great addon pack, if not. http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/default.aspx


 


Mages: arcane- cast one spell, Fire- cast 2-3 spells, Frost- same idea as always except now have frostfirebolt


Mages are prob easiest class to play atm


game is changed for the better, much easier to do anything.


Hope to see you in game

Karli, we changed vent

Derchlon — Mon, 12/06/2010 - 20:53

Karli, we changed vent servers, so the log in info will be different but the passwords should still be the same.

I'm in, thanks!  Now I have

Karli — Mon, 12/06/2010 - 21:05

I'm in, thanks!  Now I have to figure out fifteen million other things that have changed.

LOL, I haven't been gone THAT

garreth — Mon, 11/15/2010 - 01:46

LOL, I haven't been gone THAT long. Just between May and now. I'm working on making the night job the day job so that I can play in some capacity. Meanwhile I've been hacking away on the site in the background and adding new features in time for Cata (while I'm at day job) :) Miss you guys. Nohomo.

The DKP is wrong on the site,

The DKP is wrong on the site, fix it.

It's points not DKP, it's not

Keisjaa — Mon, 11/15/2010 - 17:35

It's points not DKP, it's not wrong it's broken, and it's a user issue, it works fine on our end

Damnit, I misquoted!

cromi — Mon, 11/15/2010 - 02:11

"Meanwhile I've been hacking away on the site in the background and adding new features in time for Cata," This is a bit hard to believe. Nobody has QQ'd about the points being down in a while.


jk. Are you working on the facebook/ twitter update? Because I'd really like to let everyone know exactly what I'm eating while I play wow.

Day 1, Ret pallys

Katzeus — Sat, 11/13/2010 - 08:37

Day 1, Ret pallys LOLZGLOBALed everyone

Rogues were awesome, then they were down on the meters, then they were back up and now they've slipped again.

Saedo was a robot overlord, and beat me on dps

Raid content can only be likened to chewing a piece of gum a long time.  At first it was delicous and juicy, but after 6 months of chewing it lost all it's flavor.  Oh and ToC was gum flavored like camel piss.

Pankakes was /ignored

People with legendaries quit the game, over and over

Quis took that joke one step too far, over and over

There was a time lost proto drake that was aptly named

People died in Immortal runs on KT

Anal [epic]

Fishing was revamped with all new, all different fish! And a new fishing tourny to lose every week!!

Peoples moms gave them money for a celestial steed

Onrique was made the new Lich King

There was a pre-cata world shattering event when grid was broken for 2 days

CC?  We don't need no stinkin' CC

We all got to ride in vehicles and hated it!

Questhelper, powerauras, and outfitter were absorbed into the collective

2-3 Wowkillers killed by WoW

ZOMG my armory is in 3D

We followed Lumi's target

Achivements are sweet, LFG tool is boss, duel spec rules and my mountz and petz got a fancy tab.

Oh, and my prot pally can be a gnome now.

Add: Wow now had it's own

Keisjaa — Sat, 11/13/2010 - 11:19

Add:

Wow now had it's own monstrous sized raid frames

We can place flares on the world in raids, healing requires brains & not just spamming

90% of people still have NFI what threat meters are for

Actually only about 20% of people follow lumi's target

Leveling to 80 is now so easy it's like sleepwalking

We still have 100% attendence on farm nights

<<INNERVATE KISH PLEASE!!>>

Dual spec is now only 100G

The elemental invasion at the moment is still just a few easy quests for backstory

The invasion WILL get annoying later when NPC's are gone while elementals invade cities

Cleanses: the difference between a good healer & a GREAT healer

Bye Allikat

EVERYONE now farms ZG (before it's gone)

Guild pane now shows links to people's professions

People are STILL figuring out the flexible raid lock system

Every hunter in history is camping Sholazar Basin

Kill a Rare beast, Piss off a hunter

 

there's probably more that i've forgotten in my early morning haze

It's funny Keis. As I read

Derchlon — Sat, 11/13/2010 - 19:13

It's funny Keis. As I read this post, I was in the middle of camping Sholazar Basin.

He'll spawn eventually!

I'm happy I farmed everything

Shihli — Sat, 11/13/2010 - 14:49

I'm happy I farmed everything worth farming out of ZG years ago.

Then again, I don't play anymore.

cromi — Mon, 11/15/2010 - 02:14

I fail to see your logic and yet I find your point valid and respectable.
