Hi,

There was another thread a while back with some basic Q&A stuff. You may find some useful information there. Elitist Jerks is really only of interest once you have mastered the basics of the game and are interested in optimizing your play in max-level content. It's a great source of technical information, but I always had trouble deciding whether they were more elitists or more jerks.

Any help to get a beginner started is greatly appreciated.Thanks!

Played WoW for almost 6 years, was a main raider in the top ranked US horde guild, my most valuable piece of advice is this:


CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT, LIFE IS TOO SHORT, DO IT NOWWWWW!!

As another WoW addict, I second this advice.

lol well I'll be back work soon from healing from my boob job so i'll have to set my hours for work and hours for wow , I always been pretty good about spacing my time out though , it definetly is fun =)

Yeah but this is how it starts...I bought mine when I had a 4 week vacation and nothing to do.
 
We will see how it goes then , one question since you use to play.Unfortunatly since i'm new I die here and there , lol guess we all gotta learn but any easy way to resurect.Seems like i'm walking forever following that map till it says accept to resurect now , any help with making that easier is appreciated , lol thanks =) any other gamers feel free to join in with any little tips and pointers too
 
if you have a priest, paladin, shaman, druid above like level 10 I think? they can rez you...but 90% of the time you'll be running back to your corpse. It's just luck how far you are from the closest graveyard.

PS wait til you somehow end up dying in a place you can only get to in a flying mount and the repair cost of spirit rezzing is like 150g or more lol depending how many gear sets you need to carry. I once died pvping on an island floating 100 feet above nagrand.

Oh and my personal favourite: flying somewhere like icecrown, going afk while flying, ending up having flown over the ocean to the point where you get fatigued and die, then you come back to the computer. Then you have to run from the GY in icecrown to your corpse in the ocean, when you rez you have 50% health and are in water so you can't mount and fly back, and immediately start taking fatigue damage and die again.

Then you repeat this about 4 or 5 times until you manage to die close enough to land not to get fatigued. Best option in this case is to set up a macro that removes all your armor and weapons before you can die again - if they're in your pack they won't take damage.

Yeah, I used to raid 5 days per week for 8 hours or, to paraphrase them "as long as is necessary" which can mean up to 12-14 hours when new content was out, then however long it took to clear everything each week on hardmode once we had it on farm. When stuff was out on test we were expected to raid and kill bosses there, mmochampion streamed a few of our test realm boss kills in ulduar. Underperform you get sat, and asked for an explanation, god forbid you fuck up you'll be removed from the raid, and if you fucked up more than once in a blue moon you'd never make it through your trial.

You were required to have 2 professions that enhance your raiding role, give contact information in case you are needed on short notice, breakdown and analyse boss fight logs with your class leader after fights to examine your rotations, whether you move too much and your dps suffers, positioning, checking if you were shooting/hitting/healing whoever you were meant to be shooting/hitting/healing.

If the raid composition doesn't allow for many of your class for a particular boss you'll sit outside, vent checks will be made to make sure you're still attentive should the raid need you (and not just afk collecting free dkp). Sometimes you'll sit outside for hours. Wasn't so bad because we were on a pvp server and you could mess around killing people hanging around the raid zone but still, was boring.

If you can deal with all that you end up with the gear that wow players dream about. We'd clear every raid then go back and clear it on alts, so even our alts had hardmode gear.

You also end up with about as many whispers in Org as AspenRae would get pms if she left them open, I used to have an autoreply linking a forum thread and dps spreadsheet for hunters. You know how models get pms like "omg I luv ur bobs" and how old it gets? Getting random whispers like "holy shit u have the highest gearscore i've ever seen, can u tell me how i should gem" gets just as old.

But it's stressful, and eventually, I couldn't cope with it, it had stopped being fun like a year previously and I was just caught in a cycle of commitment to my guildmates and a desire to be the best. Finally I quit, around the beginning of 2010 and feel like I was released from an addiction that was leeching away my life.

One of the best decisions I've ever made, and I will never play another MMO.
 
Tonight was definetly fun , one nice player that was on that I ended up adding to my friend list helped me out bigtime and I did my first training and stuff , so far so good , I don't do a dayjob or anything like that , being a camgirl is my only job so I have the time to spare for it , within time I am going to get my ged and go to school but as of now when i'm not working on mfc or streamate I have the time to spare =)
 
What Jup described is one side of the game. Which is really great but a few things happen fairly fast: you get burnt out, it becomes a 2nd job and it becomes not fun. There is a thrill when you first beat a raid mob and that thrill grows the closer that raid mob is to end game or new content. When I started playing WoW, I have since stopped, I had played EverQuest(EQ). So I was burnt out on EQ and tried WoW, mainly because I had friends from EQ there. I attacked it like I did EQ lol. But I knew better than to get into a raiding guild because I wanted the game to remain fun. I was never into trade skillz on EQ and WoW was no different, altho MUCH easier in WoW lol. So I leveled, then ran into the problem, it became: log in, do some dailies, bah I forget what its called when you'd go pvp in a certain area horde vs alliance but it was like once an hour or whatever, do more dailes, more of pvp, etc.... friends stopped playing and it became BORING. lol

My advice is find a family guild that can help you, get into the trade skills and keep the game light/fun.

I knew I had a problem when a female friend of mine(just friends), 5 foot 2, natural red head, 38 DDs asked if I wanted to go have a drink and I said no cause I had a raid in EQ. :woops: If something like that happens....cancel the account ASAP =)

Wintergrasp.

And yep, it was absolutely a second job, and in fact I took it more seriously than my actual job. I'd take a day off work if I felt like it, but I could *not* miss a raid - what if they needed me? What if 24 other people were waiting on me and couldn't kill stars on algalon or kite on yogg 0 or any number of other fights in togc or icc where a hunter can maintain dps on targets at variant distances that melee just can't. Besides, what if *insert super-rare gear piece here* FINALLY dropped? lol

It's a treadmill, and it's one that never ends. You beat content and then farm it for months til they bring out content with better gear then farm that then they bring out more content...etc, then they bring out an expansion. Repeat.

Most fun I ever had was in 2004/5 levelling to 60. I guess my advice is, level up, enjoy it, play with friends...then delete it.

Hogger will kill you. He is evil.
Hogger is a level 25ish elite and in the Stockade instance now. He's never been a pushover, but now he's nasty.
 
naughtylexi said:
It's been so fun so far , getting to 25 should not take extremely long so does 25 put you at elite status or does it not really work that way?

Elite mobs do better than normal damage, have more hit points than normal mobs and often have special tricks. They are normally found in group instances, but there are some out in the world also.

About dungeons.
If you don't know anyone on your server, you can use the Dungeon Finder to look for groups to do dungeons with. The first one for Alliance is in Westfall, or at least used to be before everything got moved around in the latest expansion. You can do it earlier, but since you are new to the game, you might want to wait until your character is around 18-20. Just make sure to tell people that you are new to the game, so they won't get too upset if you mess up. Dungeon content is harder than out in the world, but can also be great fun.

Please note, however, that people in online games can be just as rude or worse than on MFC.
 
Yeah gear makes a lot of difference, and if it's like it was back when I played the AH prices for green low level gear that's any good is ridiculous thanks to gold farmers.

Just take your time, have fun, like Sevrin said if you do a dungeon it probably doesn't hurt to explain you just got the game 2 weeks ago.

God they'd be drooling if they could see that ass ;)
