Okay. Time to pull away from the old behemoth thread.
We should decide which server we're playing on as TWG and what side. I don't have that much time to devote to the game and I would like to devote a good chunk playing with TWG folk.
So Hyjal or CC?
Alliance or Horde.
My vote is CC Alliance, but that's b/c I like my Dwarven Paladin.
-
My views on this have been stated in serveral places.
My main is horde on Hyjal, that will not change for now. I have no problem playing alliance on that server or on CC, but it will be limited. Specificaly since I know others are not playing when I usealy do, at work late at night. That's why I suggested the set time a week.
-
I could do Horde on Hyjal.
-
If we want to do horde on Hyjal, let's do it. We'll have to set a time to meet, preferably late Saturday or Sunday nights.
-
Again that's cool with me. Though I know you 2 want to play on CC and Mr.P wants to play alliance. I have no problem playing with you 2 on CC when you want, I'm just not going to move my main over there. Meaning when ever I play I'm not going to be in CC waiting for one of you 2 to log on. I have no problem, say, if you log on to Hyjal and tell me your logging on to CC following you over there if I'm not in the middle of something (like an instance). Or logging on myself and checking CC before moveing over to Hyjal.
I'd perfer to do Alliance this way becaue I realy don't want to start yet another Horde character and do all those quests again for a bit. But I'll make what ever you 2 want to play on, since I have more time to play then you 2 I'd rather let you decided how you want to play and let me adjust some of my play time each week to hang out with you all. Though if you don't care, hop on over to Hyjal.
Edit: Depending on what you choose I though I'd list what I'd be willing to play on each side.
Alliance: Either a Dwarf male or NE female. I just hate all the other alliance modles. Human males look dumb, so do NE males. And Gnomes are evil spawns of SE. I'd play a priest perferably. Though I can make anything.
Horde: Probaly a Tauren or Undead Female. I want to play a priest or shamen, and I've allready got a Troll. Also I hate undead male charcters (worst modles in the game next to Human Males) and while I don't care for Female undead that much either I'd play one if it ment starting in the same area as the others.
-
Okay. I'm in.
If we go Alliance: Dwarf Paladin. Loved playing it.
If we go Horde: Undead Priest. Boo yah.
I'm happy to do so on Hyjal.
As for CC, I've all but abandoned it as one of my good friends guilded me over on Killgore where I'm playing a NE fighter and having a blast.
As for time to meet...weekend nights generally aren't great for me. Though I would be available on Sunday nights after 10 PM central. I'm usually on in the weeknight early evenings too.
-
Sundays aren't a good day for me, probaly could be on at about 1-2am CT. Best days would be Friday or Saturday (anytime), though I could do something tuesdays.
-
Just remember that during December I'll be horribly irregular as to what days and what times I can play. I'm only guaranteed to be home on weekends, and even then I can only play very late. It might be better to go week by week rather than try for the same time every week. I'm also leaning more toward Alliance than Horde, so maybe we could set up a meeting time and all make dwarves--that way we'd start together and level together. Each week we set a time to meet, and that's the only time we play our little band of dwarves. If you want to do that, this week I can give you Wednesday Nights around 11pm MT (possibly earlier, but I doubt it), or Saturday night around 10 MT. What do you think?
-
work at 11 on Wensday, though 12-1am would be ok,
Saturadays at 10 is good.
-
That's pretty late for me. We're talking late nights in the central time zone.
-
Well you are talking about Fell, who has a famialy and is moveing. Even when his secdule becomes set in January (hopefuly) he'll only be able to get on once his kids are in bed and family matters are done.
I realy like the idea of doing an all Dwarf group, but maybe we should just get use to each others scedules by playing Horde on Hyjal for December then work out how we want to do our Dwarf group.
Or we can go ahead with the Dwarfs and just try to play with at least one of each other when we do play. I know I can get on when Fell can on Saturdays, and can be on during the weekdays when MR. P can play. By the way Mr. P what times/days do you think you might/can be on during M-F? Maybe Fell will have one of those times open too.
-
Weekends are always iffy. Saturday nights would be available, but only if my fiance aren't doing anything or none of my friends have something going on.
Weeknights now are wide open. And I mean wide open. I need to be in bed by 12:30am central, but I pretty much have all evening to play around with. Some days I may have something else going on, but they're usually pretty free...especially after 10p CST.
In January my weeknights won't be quite as open as M and W I'll be in clinic until 9p, but available after that.
Also, it's pretty easy to solo until level 6 or 7 when some of the quests almost require some help. I vote we get our Dwarves going and solo until level 7 when we can be of use to each other. Just don't wander too far from the first two towns. Does that sound good?
-
K, sounds good. CC or Hyjal?
Few thing, everyone join Channel twg when creating your new chracter. To do so type "/join twg" and you should see a new message saying something alongs the line of "Joined channel 4, twg" now when you type /4 it will take you to the twg channel. You only have to do this once, as long as you never leave the channel by typeing "/leave 4" (or what ever # twg channel is), and when ever you log back onto that character you'll automatcialy join that channel. This will let us have a twg chat until we get a guild.
Let's keep track of our level's here, either in this thread or a new one so we don't out level each other too much. If I know Fell is lvl 14 and Mr.p is 16 that I want to make sure my guy is at least lvl 14 and not more then 16. Though we should set a limit for what the max levels are above the lowest characters. I suggest 2, mostly becasue of instances, but level dosen't affect exp much at all so more then that is ok. Though you don't want to be running a lvl 20 instance with a bunch of 20's and a 14 or even a 16.
-
I have no preference for either Hyjal or CC.
I already have a lev 6 Dwarf on CC and I know I can connect well there. But I also have no objection to starting anew on Hyjal.
-
Lets do CC then. I think it would be good to have characters spread out across servers incase one goes down. Also RP servers can be fun once people get into them.
So Mr.P will do a Pally
Fell will have a Hunter
and to Round out the Group I'll do a Priest
-
ok, On CC:
Bávorr Dwarven Priest
To get that á hold Alt down and then type 0225 on the number pad (wont work if you type it on the numbers above the letters) and then release the Alt key.
-
When we register our guild we should have TWG stand for:
Truth, Wisdom, and Gold
:)
-
hah.
Anyway what tradeskills we going with?
I suggest engeneering/minning for the Pally since doing so will give you a relaiable ranged attack. And I think Fell wanted to do skinning/leather working. And I can do either tailor/enchant or herb/alch, though if, say, some one wanted to do 2 crafting and no gathering (like enger/balcksmith) I could do minning/tailor or enchant.
-
Sounds good to me.
When should we start this shindig? Like I said, it's easy for me since my character is already at level 6 and in the second town.
-
ok, On CC:
Bávorr Dwarven Priest
To get that á hold Alt down and then type 0225 on the number pad (wont work if you type it on the numbers above the letters) and then release the Alt key.
ALT-160 works too. Most of the accents used in Spanish are grouped together, ALT-130, ALT-160 to ALT-165, ALT-168, and ALT-173 will get you through the spanish characters you need for someone using an English language keyboard.
-
Yeah, I'll do a hunter with skinning/leatherworking. I'll be able to play Wednesday night but I'll have to spend that evening working up to level 6. I can probably do Thursday night around 11 MT, if that sounds good to you guys.
-
Alright. I have the game now & can jump in. I have a lvl 9 human mage on Cenarion Circle as of this morning, but they could transit to the dwarven lands very easily, so that shouldn't be a problem. Alternately I could create a different character for the TWG party.
Fell, how's your Forsaken Warrior coming? Have any questions about the class?
-
The TWG party is dwarves only, but we'd love to have you. We still need a warrior and a rogue.
My undead warrior is quite fun, though I can't find freaking Gregor Agamand anywhere.
-
Hm. I was thinking of saving Rogue for a Forsaken character. I wasn't set on it, though, and it wouldn't hurt to try the class out. Or I could do a Paladin/Warrior.
-
Mr. P is already a pally, and Tage said that he might even be convinced enough to buy the game and play a dwarf pally with us. Three couldn't hurt though--I'm not going to turn down an extra helping of auras, blessings, heal spells, and melee prowess.
-
Hehe, we could have one Paladin for each of their talent trees. Of course, devoting one of the Paladins to the Holy talent tree might seem silly with a Priest hanging around without a specific plan for doing something other than trying to be a primary healer.
I could probably be talked into doing something else if we decide that we have too many Paladins, but it doesn't sounds like a bad party to me. The worst risk is that Spriggan would get bored at the Priest position. Unless, of course, he goes a Shadow priest route or something.
When is this happening again, and what level range should we shoot to be at by such and such a time?
-
All hail Ironforge!
anyway I'm lvl 6.8 allready. I haven't taken any main tradeskills yet (though I have all the secondary). I also went to stormwind to pick up some wine.
Playing in the alliance again makes me mad because how much better the zones are (especialy the starting areas) then the Horde. Not only were they better back in July and augest, but Blizz kept on adding too them (the Dwarf Starting area has lots of new stuff) while saying they didn't have the time to add it to the Horde side. It makes Baby Uther cry.
For a guild we need 10s (I have 7s) and 10 members.
With me, Fell, Mr. P, Promethious and his brother, and Micah that only gives us 6. If Jeffe gets the game that would be 7. Think is, we all have to be on at the time of the guild creation (unless they've changed that). So I can try and grab people from my guild on Hyjal and see if they'd hop on for 10 minutes sometime if you all want.
-
I'm not certain that guild creation is necessary right now. It'd help in rounding everyone up, but I don't think it would get us much else besides that. Maybe a tabard. If people want to, though, I'm definitely not opposed.
-
It's more for the chat features, though while we can use channel TWG, Guild chats are nice for a group of friends. Also it's easy to see who's on and you can leave daily messages.
-
I'll be on later tongiht. Probably after 7pm CSTish.
I hope to see some of you. Plus, I'll write down my name so I can actually give it to you all.
-
So it's Thursday night at 11 PM Mountain (eek!) with characters that are roughly lvl 6. Works for me.
-
Is your brother coming too, Prometheus? That's a lot of dwarves. We need someone to play a human girl and be snow white.
-
My character's name is Molric. Finally remembered it.
Played him a bit last night and accidently got to level 7. I'll stop and wait until Thursday. I'll be waiting in Kharnath (spelled wrong, I'm sure, it's the first city after the one you spawn at).
-
Level 7 is probably fine. It seems like a lot when you're low level, but after you gain a couple more levels it won't seem to matter much, especially as the gap in hard XP decreases. I just barely got my dwarf Throgrim to Kharanos (? I think it's right this time) and parked him in the inn to gain rested state. He's probably soaked in good dwarven ale by now.
I haven't asked my brother about it yet, but he's heading up to Canada with his wife for Christmas on Thursday, so he'll probably be somewhere between Idaho and nowhere when we start playing. That, and with the possibility of Tage joining the party, I figured it was a non-issue. Have we gotten a yes/no answer on that yet?
I was going over the dwarven Paladin talents, and as far as long-range planning goes, we'll want at least one of our Paladins to go to the top of the Retribution tree for Blessing of Kings. An additional 10% to all primary stats for 5 minutes is *very* good. The Retribution tree is tempting already for the Consecration area of effect attack already. The other Paladin should likely look at the Defensive tree for their primary investments for the improved Seal of Fury to help with tanking, and since with the sheer bulk healing we'll have available, we probably don't need anyone in the Holy tree specialization aside from a few pick-up talents. We don't have to follow that plan, of course, but it makes a lot of sense to me. I could probably be talked into doing either one.
Yes, I have been bored at work.
If you want to see what I'm talking about, the best talent calculator I've found so far (and the one I'm using) is at wowvault.ign.com. Their skills section isn't incredibly up-to-date...I've started going to www.thottbot.com for that.
If people want to do more detailed party planning, we should probably start a new thread for it.
-
I'm not overly worried about planning our party, but I suppose that planning out paladin specialties is a good idea.
-
I didn't figure most people would be, so I didn't start a thread for it myself and left that decision up to others. That, and like I said, I'm bored at work and have time to figure some of these things out. Since we're going to have at least two paladins, that does get more important like you said. Having two paladins with maxed out devotion aura or blessing of might ect would be pretty useless.
-
Hello all, Fell talked to me today, i created a Dwarf rogue on CC today, his name is Anvel.
Edit: I made him an herbalist/alchemist
My main is on Nathrezim (PVP-Mountain time). He is an Orc Hunter named Talos. Alts are:
Fiera, Naerom, Rhuine, Brujo, Sesino, Dred
In case anyone wants to join me :)
-
So two Paladins, a Priest, a Hunter, and a Rogue? Not too bad. See you guys in Kharanos late on Thursday. I've got a Druid, a Rogue, and my Mage to work with until then.
Party names so far:
Anvel (Nytwalker), Throgrim (Prometheus), Molric (Mr. P), Bávorr (Spriggan)
Tradeskills claimed so far:
Fellfrosch's dwarf (skinning/leatherworking), Anvel (herbalism/alchemy), Molric (mining/smithing)
-
I'll take mining/smithing
-
Sprig is Bavorr or something similar; it's earlier in the thread. I'm hoping for Torvald, but we'll see if it's available.
-
just add an accent if you cannot get that name.
And incedently it's Bávorr
Also I cannot be on, because of work, at 11. I can be on before 10:30 and after Midnight, but not for that hour and a half. Also I don't know how late Mr. P will be able to play, since 11 is mignight his time. Isn't there a way to do this earlier?
-
Not for me. I can try to get on earlier, but the odds are remarkably slim. The rest of you are free to get on earlier if you want, and if I don't make then I don't make it. Torvald is kind of a loner anyway.
-
I'll do my best to be on from midnight to one, but then I probably have to sleep.
You all should move to CST. ;D
-
I'm going to try getting a nap in before 11 PM tonight so that I can participate better. I only need to work the next day, right?
-
Well,I'm going to be on for the next hour trying to decided a trade skill.
-
So, where is everyone?
-
Prometheus and I were on for a bit and Fell showed up and quickly said that he had to go since he had an incident with fire and a bed.
Nytwalker joined us and we all agreed it would be better to wait for the majority of the group, especially Fell since he has the least amount of time to play.
-
cool, thanks for letting me know. Guess I'll stop sitting outside the Brewery waiting for you all.
-
What time did you get on, Sprig? Three of us were on for several minutes, immediately before and after 11pm. As mentioned, I wasn't on for long because my kids lit my bed on fire, and I spent the night cleaning up the mess.
-
Sweet! That is so cool! What did they use and where did you bury them?
-
They were playing cave under the big down comforter on my bed, and apparently a mean ghost stole their flashlight. They needed a new one, so naturally they grabbed the lamp off my end table. I was downstairs wrapping presents at the time, and Dawn was finishing dinner, so we didn't notice. When we called them in to eat they just left the lamp there, and about twenty minutes later we smelled smoke. The lightbulb melted an 8-inch hole in the mattress, and lit several embers in the down comforter. We caught it before any open flames erupted, but now our room smells like smoke and everything's covered with a light dusting of fire extinguisher chemicals.
-
heh. That's kinda funny.
I got on at about 11:30pm
-
So, we going to plan another night to meet this week? Or is Christmas week too busy for everyone?
-
My only night this week would be Wednesday, and it would have to be pretty late (i.e., 11 at the earliest). To be honest, my schedule is so screwed up right now that I think you guys should just play without me, and I'll join you in January when things settle down.
-
I can play late Wensday, I'll be up in Idaho then.
-
I'm out this week...and probably late next. Early next week I could do some late nights though.
-
Wow, they just added info on battlegrounds. While most of it isn't new info some of it was. Like that low level players can particpate by doing other quests in the battle ground (like gathering supplies, mounts ect) that support the high level players fighting it out. I'm glad to see Blizz adding things for others to do since it sucks to have to wait till your last few levels to get involved in anyway.
http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/pvp/battlegrounds.html
-
I think we'll have to count me out of WoW this week altogether, and probably next week. Christmas and moving--you know how it is.
And those battlegrounds sound cool.
-
I'm guessing that since Fell is moving out of his place on the 29th that he's more or less unavailable this week as well for our dwarven party. Here's to hoping I'm wrong?
-
Woo Hoo!
I got my RDRAM!
I now have 768 Megs and WoW runs like a charm now. No more jumps, no more skipping...so sweet...
-
Ok, I guess I'll make a Dwarf rogue on CC. When I get a name I'll post it, or maybe I'll mail you all in-game. =P Like I'll have the money! Anyways, hard on avast ye.
Now that I think of it, Gnomes start in the same area as Dwarfs, no? If so I think I'll finally try one. Here goes.
-
No Gnomes allowed in the all-Dwarf group. I had thought that would be rather obvious.
My Internet is hooked up, and I'm installing my wireless network card during lunch today, so I should be available again for WoW very soon. What day should we try to meet this week?
-
anyday but thursday is good for me, though I'd prefer the weekend since I have work and all wensday.
-
I believe we're roleplaying on Friday this week, so the weekend would work well for me too. If someone can't make it, my brother has a lvl 7 dwarf of some class or other.
The main character I've been playing (27 Warrior) with is on the twg channel pretty much all the time, so if you guys are playing alliance, feel free to jump on and we'll try to get together some. We could even set up separate twg channels for Horde and Alliance to make it easier to find someone we know to play with on both sides. Channel Horde-TWG and Alliance-TWG or something.
-
So... are we planning another meetup anytime soon on CC?
-
Ya, my poor dwarf has built a very high tab at the inn.
I know Fell's schedule has changed, what about your's MR. P?
I'm fine with anything but thurdsay and probaly wensday.
-
Early weeknights are still best for me. And, of course, both Wed and Thur nights are my best weeknights though Monday and Tuesday are possible.
-
Tuesdays would work, though either a friday or saturday would be best for me.
If it's Tuesday though I probaly only could be on for about an hour or two if it's the same hours as before (ie starting 7-8pm CT). Which is fine with me. I'd rather play why you guys for a few hours then none at all.
-
Well, I can be on tonight, after 10pm CST on CC.
Just say the word.
-
I can be on after 11 PM CST.
I'll log on at that time, if no one is on (be in channlel /twg) I'll just log back off.
-
I'll try, honest I will, but don't be surprised if I'm not there. moving to a new house has completely destroyed my children's sleep schedules.
-
I'll log on at 11 on CC.
See you there, Sprig.
-
Sprig, I was on from 11 - 11:20 CST but bailed as I'd have to log off by 11:45 anyway. Sorry I missed you.
-
oops sorry, I got my timezones messed up. I ment 1am CST. For somereason I got CST and PST messed up. Basucaly 1am CST is the only time I can get on monday-thursday.
