Random Cataclysm discussion

Yea, if you click where it says level 50 you can change the level, but it gives points like it does now, 1 per level.

[Aesctaa]

Plea has always seemed a massive headache and nothing more, i don't know why they cant just get rid of it honestly and find some other mechanic =.=

[Gulkeeva]

Ok, maybe i missed something here, but after changing the calculator to cap off at 85, it seems I can get retardedly deep in all 3 tree's. Are they lowering the amount of points we have to spend?

(I probably missed something about this being on vacation for a few days and didn't bother to check mmo)

Have to fill 1 tree (31 points) to start another, so you won't be able to get very deep in all 3 tree's

It'll be... about the same as now. Fill 1 tree, and get like 3-4 levels (if you wanted too) in another tree soorta (instead you'd get like 1-2 rows)

It suddenly occurred to me that some of the talents that were cut out of the talent trees might be made into glyphs with the new system. Stuff like Mental Quickness probably won't come back, but I might see Improved Stormstrike again...

Mental Quickness you acquire at level 10 as soon as you choose enhancement as your spec. At least if MQ is the AP->SP talent.

Yep, I've been in every WoW related beta test (and a few other Blizzard related games). Best part is I got 5 TBC beta invites and 3 WoTLK beta invites:

Those were the days

Few days behind, but* TBC beta was very generous. If you got in early enough (when the cap was raised to 67), every wave of invites, you got a new key to give to a friend, so that you could test with them.

It was a little different in the LK beta; I don't remember getting extra keys until almost the very end of the test, practically the last wave of invites. They had premades up by that point, at the very least since they wanted testing of the level 80 content.

Is there any form of GM support in the Beta servers yet? My Orc Warrior is stuck in the air near the alliance airship in Deepholm. I get a fatal error every time I log in on him. I'd love to be able to get him unstuck without waiting until tuesday or the next server reset.

negative and there probably won't be, you have to use fancy ideas to get unstuck, or recopy.

[Correction]

If you are experiencing client crashes in the area near the Alliance Gunship, temporarily turn your graphic settings to low and set your view distance to the minimum setting. After you’ve completed the quests at the gunship, feel free to restore your settings.

The fix for this issue has already been implemented in the next build.

The crash is a known problem, the above is the temporary fix.

I must have killed 4 or so bears before I could stop laughing enough to finish this quest properly.

I'm curious, is cataclysm going to have money sink like off spec, flying mount and stuff like this? I assume it will, but havent heard of any.

[LD]

From what I've heard there's not 'old world flying', so when we learn flying at 60 we'll have it in most areas. However, watching some streams showed that areas like Gilneas was a no fly zone. Since that seems to be the case, I expect they'll have flight trainers in the cities eventually.

Duel spec will probably cost the same as it does now.

This got it working for me. Thanks a ton.

They said they wanted to lower the cost and level required for dual spec, when asked about healers leveling in a healing spec. Also, I believe there will be a 310% flight training, if you have a 310% mount already, to make all your 280% mounts go at 310% speed.

Actually, they've made it sound like 310% will be trainable to anyone even if you don't have a 310% mount. The posts they've made have been vague and they haven't clarified despite people asking all the time.

I don't remember reading specifically, but for some reason I have it in my head that 310% is trainable and people already with a 310% mount will receive it for free *shrug*

Pretty sure they've changed their tune on that one, as more recently they've been talking about giving healing specs the ability to do more than sit in dungeon queues all day.

from yesterday:

Q: Do you expect anyone, alts or new players, to level as a healer specialization? Do you think locking them to Holy or Restoration early is bad?
A. We expect leveling with as DPS will probably always be more efficient, just because killing things is faster than surviving longer while you kill things. Furthermore, we don’t want the healing specializations to be as good at killing things or the DPS specialization not to have a role. We do, however, think we can make leveling as a healer more enjoyable than it is today. Also, it will be a lot easier to use Dungeon Finder to level as a healer.

Q: With the new 31-point tree system, how will players use dual-specialization? Do we get to choose a new tree when we first use our secondary specialization (off-spec)?
A. You can use dual-specialization for a different specialization in beta, if you choose, much as you can today. We are going to lower the level at which you can use dual-specialization, as well as the cost for purchasing it, because we recognize that using Dungeon Finder while leveling is likely to be popular.

All right, found that fucking geometry trap in Hyjal last night. Had to wait 5 minutes for Nemesis to pat around, find me, and munch me to death so I could escape. Fun fact: flying over it dismounts you, too.

[Kaylia]

Is there a way to leave feedback in game about general topic, or it's is limited to alt left click?


[edit]
And damn, I wish FFXIV beta had that kind feedback. Their forum is such a pain to use.


[edit2]
Am I the only one who free falled to his death first time I logged in oggrimar? I thought it was an awesome to way to start..I hope this glitch make it to the real version.
