In relation to ZA/ZG launch difficulty (for pugs mostly), how hard are the new dungeons? What ilvl do they drop, 378? Does the gear look cool/interesting?

**BadKarma** · 2011-10-17 10:19

Tank shoulders look like Varians plate, and the other gear is decent looking as well. Aside from some bugs in the sylvanas fights, the dungeons are interesting ESPECIALLY WoE.

The new raid lockout changes for Taiwan and Korea adjust the lockout timers for the patch 4.0 and 4.2 raids. The lockout timers for these raids will now reset twice weekly instead of once. These raid lockout changes are being made to allow players to raid more often and get more chances at epic loot drops. Players will be able to down current Cataclysm raid bosses twice a week, accelerating players’ progression.

We are testing these new raid lockout changes in Taiwan and Korea first. Our goal is to expand this change to other regions in the future, but we don’t have anything further to announce at this time with regard to North American implementation.

Hmmm, this could be interesting, I would enjoy it moreso for being able to try to farm my Thunderfury+Mounts twice a week rather then once, but it might also give people far more things to do during the week..on the flip side it could cause far more burnout as well if guilds try to do a raid twice a week.

I wish they would implement this on NA servers so I can get Shadowmourne faster though

For taking so long for DK t13. It sure is the ugliest of em all

It's cata raids. ICC and stuff won't be changed.

Well fuck that then! lol

Though it would make it possible to do 25s and then do a fun/progressive 10man with better players which would be nice.

Yeah it looks god awful, I mean at least most of the other tiers look like they progressed in art style and made interesting visuals...DK tier looks like it's from fucking Vanilla.

**Arvin** · 2011-10-26 12:13

remember the time they said that wasn't final and it's not fully rendered?

For the DK tier? I think that's the actual tier though there hasnt been an announcement yet. From what I understood though the tier they thought was absolute shit wasn't even completely done when they scrapped it...but who knows. I can hope that's not really the tier...but I think it is.

Have you even seen Vanilla sets? This one has a ton more polys /effects.

Adding mist effects to shoulders/helm doesn't make it any better since they have been using the mist effects for a long time now, even bloodfang had that creeping mist coming off. The shoulders look fine though to me on the DK set..it's the open faced helmet and the very plain looking chest/leg textures that break the entire thing. Compared to sets like paladin Season 11 and tier or even other tiers, the helms and chest/leg textures seem to just fit far better in the overall artistic scheme of the set. Also this tier was supposed to be about going out of the norm on most sets according to the artists..yet DK set is just "eh throw some skulls and bones on it and color it some purple/gray color"

Not true

I like our glowing eyes and amazing skin/hair colors

**Kaylia** · 2011-10-26 15:19

I like it, but I like most T13.

The only thing that bother me is the helmet...I might be the only one, but everytime I look at the face, I see this:

So, MMO-Champ has the quests for the new Darkmoon Faire event up now, and showing 250 rep for each quest, and 5 of them look to be dailies. Does anyone know if this rep goes past the rep threshold that's been in place for the turn in quests for Darkmoon Faire? I'm going for Insane now, and farming up cards, but if there's rep to be had, even that little it will make it a lot easier.

**Kaylia** · 2011-11-07 12:50

Same rep? I figured they would start a new one for this

Highly doubt it, why have 2 reputations that are both for the Darkmoon Faire, specially if the DMF as we know it is going to be taken out and replaced by this new one.

**Correction** · 2011-11-07 18:24

It's looking like rep matters less than having hundreds/thousands of prize tickets. If anything they'll just reset everyone's currency to zero, or make the desirable stuff more expensive to gate out the pack rats/hoarders.

subs dropped 800k for Q3. Man, rough times indeed.
