I find it amusing that it comes out on Pearl Harbor Day.

Only thing that really frustrates me about WoW is being told how I "play" is wrong. Yes, I know, I need to get my toon to 80 for raids, but I hate instances unless I think I'm "ready" for them and I like to quest. It's SLOW, sure, but it's how I like to play. Drawback is by the time I'm ready for a dungeon, I'mm too high for it on the finder and I have to beg borrow scrath and plead for anyone in my guild to run with me. But I do like the game. You should play on Thrall with the elitist snobs I do. I go into battlegrounds and they always give me crap about my hunter's weapons. You use that gun? It's a tank gun. And that Melee weapon isn't a hunter's weapon, it's a Shaman weapon. I even had a mage lol at my Gear Score in Wintergrasp one day, and I told him "Let's compare kills at the end of the battle, should we?" He had 87, and I had over 130 (my personal best in any BG was 246 in the old WSG games that seemed to go on forever, and that was at level 38). We're hunters, we support and cause damage behind the tanks. And since when should you care about my melee weapon? They seem to forget that with the enchantment on it I get 146 Attack Power. Not all of us do all the endgame content and get the best gear. Some of us just get by with what we have because we just have fun playing the game and still have actual lives outside of the game.

Hunters unite! Lvl 80 D00rf on Silvermoon. I've made him into a Human on Beta and I think I might do that in live, I love the human's animations.

I may eventually make a human hunter, but the first one I'm making when Cat comes out is Worgen.

No, that's what Deathwing will make us do to our pants. Out of curiosity, is anyone on the boards doing the virtual feed of BlizzCon this weekend? If so, maybe we could have an AIM chat during the event. Be nice to meet up with fellow players anyway.

few little niggling 4.0.1 questions and such
- Can you respec at trainers still? I accidentally specced arcane on my new mage....and Arcane sucks now
- IS BM viable endgame now or is MM still the preferred spec?
- Giving pets to newbs.....BAD FREAKING IDEA, I'm actually a GOOD hunter, and I have to deal with this new level of huntardedness among the playerbase.
- Is one minute of Bank access every half hour really anything good (Goblin Racial)
- Is Archaeology on PTR?

You can still respec your active spec at a trainer, same fees as before. In addition, the price for Dual-Talent Specialization has been reduced, from 1000 gold to 100 gold. BM is, from what I recall, the preferred, highest-DPS spec for endgame content. Survival is still best for PVP, but BM tops meters in comparison to MM/Surv. The addition of new spells to exotic pets is fun (Core Hounds with Bloodlust/Heroism? ^_^) If you recall the first ten levels of pre-4.0.1 hunterdom, where... all you had was Mongoose Bite and Raptor Strike, which were counterintuitive to actually -learning- the hunter class, it makes more sense to let the Level 1s get a pet. They can't actually control their pet til level 10, though. The pet is on it's own. Same with Warlocks (Who used to get their pets at level 4, then 2). They've said on numerous occasions that 70% of people who start a trial quit at or before level 10, so, they really need to wrangle in the new players... by making the start of the game more interesting. They're doing more and more to make the racials less... gamebreaking, but have a purpose, too. The ones I can think off of the bat are the Cultivation change to Tauren (A flat increase to Herbalism was... relatively pointless, but now it also makes you gather herbs much faster). It now has a real purpose, yet isn't gamebreaking. Conversely, Tauren have the very useful War Stomp, which isn't gamebreaking (it's a relatively short stun). Goblins have the Bank access, which is cool, but not overpowered, some would argue the rocket jump is a bit overpowered.... all Goblins essentially get Blink. There is currently no PTR for patch 4.0.3, it is being tested on the Beta servers, as it will be implemented, in-game, in patch 4.0.3 (Although, if my observations are correct, you won't be able to train it unless you've purchased Cataclysm.) If you're interested in seeing how it works, see the provided video link:

I use BM, and it's okay. I still feel like I lost a pile of DPS. Probably because of the stupid tree that I've had to respec a few times to try and get it right. I got into a discussion with another hunter who had made a new toon, and we both agreed that if you give noobs pets right off the bat, they won't learn any survival skills. It made sense to go through the first 10 levels without being able to tame a pet. You learned how to use your skills to survive without having to rely on a pet. We're going to have a bunch of huntards on our hands. And what I found out today, I was messing around with my rogue earlier and I found that using Subtlety I was able to 1 and 2 hit creatures for my quest that were at least 2 levels above me. It was fun. And just to add on to this story, I was doing this quest and a level 47 was in there doing the same one, The Crown of Will. I asked him for help but he refused. I ended up getting killed while he just stood and watched. I came back and rezzed and stealthed my way all through the castle and distracted the guards and took out the level 43 while he watched. I laughed at him and disappeared. I felt like it was karma. We could have teamed up and did the quest together, but he had to be a dink.

Hmm... a thought has been going through my head lately.... would there be any interest in forming a 'Crap Forums WoW guild on some server?
It's... definitely up in the air right now, whether it'd just be a loose coalition of posters, or a focused PVE, or PVP, or levelling, what-have-you guild.... Whether it'd be on a PVE/PVP/RP/RPPVP server, Alliance or Horde...
Anyone maybe interested in being involved with one?

I'd be interested. Preferably on Greymane or Uldaman since that is where my characters are.

PVE lvling makes sense until we get a core group of 80s for raiding. As for a server, search me. I already have an Alliance guild on Velen, so maybe a Horde guild elsewhere. EDIT: Spent the night thinking about it and I have some idea, but we'd have to pick a server and be aware that not a lot of us would have a lot of gold to start with, so it may be slow going for the guild at first, until we get some high lvl members or bank alts in the guild. Again, if we're serious, we can discuss it here or on PM.

I'm... loosely serious about it.... I've been looking for a reason to play more... My 10-man raiding guild plans for Cata fell through. *shrugs*
It depends on how many people we could get.

It's not a bad idea. I do like the idea of being in a horde guild on a high horde population server. However, I may leave the game in January due to school. :S Still I'm looking forward to playing worgen.

Well, assuming at least three so far... I understand about moderation in gaming with my own school work, but I'd hate to have to quit cold turkey on the thing. Not World of Warcrack for nothing.
Keep me posted on thoughts and ideas. I do have Horde toons, but they're all lvl 1s since I really don't play them.
