one of you faggots invite jonderclees to dragon in forest
Is WPL/EPL really the best place to farm Plaguebloom? Feel like it's gonna be heavily populated with people doing the same.
>>137086985
unfortunately yes
>party leader invites a paladin tank for our dungeon
Guess who is coming back to nost? :D
<3
>>137073231
Is no one seeing the tier 2.5 gear? This isn't from Nost is it? Because paladins don't deal very much damage until then I think
>>137089562
its from Feenix it looks like, one of the most shit servers anyone has ever played on
Tell me, /nosg/, is it worth getting this last rank from 12 to 13?
I'm seriously considering that it might just be better to stop now, since warlock helmet/shoulders are shit.
>>137089851
don't pussy out you fucking pansy
I am an expat living in China - is there any easier way to download nos?
downloading through the VPN is too fokken slow.
gee aylmoa why does your guild give you two rejuv gems
>>137089786
How bad was Feenix in terms of scripting quality compared to Nost? I know the 2015 wave of vanilla servers is on another level relative to older servers, but I never played on any of those.
>>137092028
hehe ;)
>>137092083
The people that shitpost about Feenix scripting never actually raided on Feenix. It wasn't as good as Nost (which it self is pretty meh until months after release of content) but it wasn't bad. It's about the same quality as Valkyrie if you ever played on there.
>>137092083
It was pretty bad, I raided all the way up to AQ on it.
The server was just garbage overall, there is a reason why it INSTANTLY died when Nost came out.
>>137092083
it wasn't too bad, mostly was just random shit like golemagg getting pulled when running above him on the bridge or bosses in ZG just flat out not working
whats the worst part about leveling priest?
>>137092954
more than half of BWL wasn't even scripted on feenix, including the trash before suppression room
the server just blew man
>>137093136
you have to play a dwarf, the objectively worst race in the game
>>137093228
my guild fell apart when we started BWL so I just stopped playing Feenix
how long does it take to go from 20-30? currently lvl17.8
>>137093537
not too long
>>137093228
>>137092954
>>137092937
Any particular horror stories? I'm intrigued
>>137094608

PUT THE TOUGH CONDOR MEAT IN THE BAG AND NOBODY GETS HURT
Do people on horde actually want a new guild or has everyone pretty much found a stable raiding guild outside of vg?
>>137096372
the latter
>>137093136
do the punchline already
fuck Bubble and his faggot butt buddy ty
>>137097482
what did they do to you
anyone else stuck on retrieving character list?
Aq20 was easy af on feeshit.
Is it gonna be harder on Nost and if yes why (scripts/patch)
>>137097750
Came here to post this
My ree is off the charts
>>137098869
Fuck, well at least it's not just me. Kinda feel like a dick for telling my group I'm just relogging real quick and being gone over 30 min now though...
>>137097750
>>137098869
Playing fine.
>>137099238
The server is fine. Just don't log out because you'll probably get stuck trying to get back in.
>>137099348
Tried to log out and log in. Worked fine. Playing from Japan.
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>137092937
That and the GMs/Staff was corrupt as hell.
>>137099596
Working fine for me now too. Was fucked up for a good 30 min though.
Wasn't raid boss health on peenix heavily inflated because their broken ass server allowed for much higher DPS then should be possible in vanilla?
Server bout to rreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
thats reeeeeal great
BRING THE SERVERS UP REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

server is laggy af (2000 ping), what do?
>>137103556
when i lived in china and played on feenix or valkyrie i used tunneling services to get from 800ms to about 400
still 2k ms is pretty bad, do you live in some shit tier town or something?
reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetrieving character list
>>137103759
tunneling? you mean vpn?
nah i live in a huge city, and my net is pretty good (for china).
>>137103759
figured it out. using PPTP on vpn brings it down to about 350 :)
Why are there so many 60s in blasted lands? I can't go two feet without a nelf rogue ambush and emoting at me, then ignoring all the horde 60s around me because they are there ganking as well.
I don't know level 60 shit so it's confusing me. fuck blasted lands, holy shit. why am i even here.

>>137106150
They're honor farming. Low levels are an easy 100 or so honor. Leveling must suck now I'm glad I got to 60 in the summer.
>>137106150
they are there to blast some scrubs
>>137106703
allies have instant or near instant queues, don't they? i doubt i'm a good honor farm
>>137106150
There are some buffs you get from quests there that are repeatable.
t. Pro
I got 53 days played, started early June. I witnessed the Chinese destroy this server and I feel jaded now. Nost was so fun at first because I was playing vanilla for the first time since it was live, and I was pretty young then (21 now).
Fuck, I was a keyboard turning clicker. But now I'm in <Pantheon> one of the best US horde guilds. I just feel empty now though. I have ashkandi, bis everything else minus my prestors. BG's are cancer, I dunno. Maybe im just drunk. But it just aint the same as it used to be.
>>137107030
I just hit 60 Horde side, I am constantly going up against pre-mades in AB, should i just que up for WSG and wait for 30 mins to get in?
>>137107008
aha, now that makes more sense. thank you!
>>137107030
PvE has always been stale for me.
I can only have fun in world PvP. I instigate start large PvP fights in places like hillsbrad and stranglethorn all the time.
Try some PvP dude. You definitely sound like you have the gear to wreck people's faces.
>>137107219
Grouping is key for both. Since the Chinese invasion it is very hard to pug. It's a losing battle for horde, most serious pvpers roll alliance. Horde has lots of lone wolves. I usually queue with at least a few guildies. When it comes down to horde pugs vs alliance pugs, no questions asked the horde pug will win. The chance of facing an alliance pug is incredibly small though.
>>137107334
I do enjoy some pvp, but all my guildies I liked pvping with don't play so much anymore. Having internet buds is tough.
>>137107735
How many is a few? 4-10+?
>>137101645
>not wanting to erp with your healer
Why?
male troll or female UD for a mage? Having a hard time deciding.
>>137107735
Usually 3+.

How is the rank 10 grind on PvE? Thanks in advance anons.
Any reason not to make another account for my alts? Feels like it'd be kind of useful just to multi task. I'm not going to multibox or anything. Will transferring gold get me banned or anything?
Anyone on Horde wanna run a 60 DUNGEON y/y
>>137109441
Check their rules
You're allowed to be logged in at the same time on two accounts and trade between them and stuff like that but only if both of them are in a city
>>137109561
Cool, thanks. I'll check them out

>2k16
>Only 1-9 bound

I guess it takes a nosg player on the pve server to be this embarassing
>>137113184
What's wrong with auto on 1, where else would you put it?
>>137114086
you right click to auto
>>137114151
But I right click to seduce/dispel.
>>137098404
Id say mechanically its similar to ZG, needs a bit more brainwork than ony/mc but nothing that the average joe raider cant do, I expect to get it pugged starting from week2 max
>>137114151
>>137113816
that's his wand you fucking shitter

Only you can play WoW and not realize healers regain mana by slurping on thick musky dpser cocks between raids.
>it's a stuck in combat until the end of time episode
i would suicide to get rid of this but im out of ankhs and the gy is clear across the zone. send help. fuck france right in the butthole.
>>137114954
Alt F4 and relog.
Rogue is a lot more fun than I remembered.
>>137115109
yep, did that twice, no luck. thanks tho dude.
>>137115295
to add to that, pretty sure im fucked and will have to kill myself so ill finish what im doing and get near the GY. just bitching since it's pretty poopy.
What's the best warlock pvp build that uses a succubus?
>>137115295
>>137115365
Weird, usually works.
>>137115775
Yeah, it does but not this time, and it did this once before as well. I THINK it has something to do with a mob being bugged, specifically a mob that spawns little minions which stop chasing but don't drop agro. I could be completely wrong tho.

are you saying the frogs are compromised by communist bribes?
MacArthur was right. If he had nuked the Chinks into the stone age we wouldn't have this problem and Best Korea would be a part of Korea.
What should I do with scrolls? Are they used in raids or should I sell them on the AH? I mean, is there some buff that they don't stack with that's used in raids instead?
>>137118042
Armor is the only one that stacks with other buffs.
why the fuck are restorative potions being jewed so much reeeeeeeeeee
>>137115295
wait 5 minutes then log
>>137118976

>>137117124
Almost all of your problems are caused by the Yellow Peril. Of either the Chinese or Mongol (Finn) varieties.
>>137119087
pretty sure its not the chinese, they make prices much lower, this looks to be the action of a white race traitor trying to game the market.
they are up to 30g for 5 on horde side
>>137119198
yeah it's just fags trying to be huge jews like with the devilsaur leathers
the pots are 30g per 5 on ally as well
>log in, Kargath FP is dead
>want to ask a mage for a portal
>all of them are chinese
REEEEEEEEEEE
>>137119198
how much are ele earth atm each side?
>>137119587
4-5g each on ally side
>>137119198
The elemental earth alone is worth 20g, if you don't want to buy on their price get the recipe and craft it yourself.
>>137118803
So can I safely clear my inv of them? Is there any situation whatsoever that they'd be used for?
>>137119929
I put them in my bank, put them on the AH once i get a stack of 5. Their vendor price is really low.
>>137120062
Thanks, you just saved me 4 inv spaces. Kept hoarding them without ever using one ever.

They have the most terrible worldview, it's complete soulless capitalism, they're fucking monsters. Even the West hasn't been as brainwashed. They literally don't consider other human beings to be human (which I guess they're not over there), the only thing they care is money, status symbols, looks etc.
>all these UD mages called Vurtnex/Vurtnep/Vurtné
>all these female Human rogues called Vanessa/Vanésa/Vannesa
what are some other examples of this terrible trend?

what kind of pvp ? ally or horde ? what kind of gear do you have ?
is PvE populated enough to be relevant?
>>137122995
yes
>>137121490
What... the fuck.
Why not just kill it first? Seriously, why? Holy shit, that is goddamn disgusting. They don't even kill it when they're done, just letting it lay in agony upon carcasses until it slowly dies in pure agony instead.
Chinese are not human.
>>137120828
It's about a clash of societies. They will kill us all.

Why can't I molest harpies? Why can't I bend them over after defeating them in combat and bury my face the the fluffy down of the backsides?
>>137126938
Because you kill them, either by smashing their bones with a hammer, slicing them up with a sword or dagger, stabbed with daggers or chopped up by axes.
Or pumped full of lead or arrows.
>>137127113
Why can't I force harpies far below my level to submit to me and become my harem?
Do you afk in Stormwind or in Ironforge ?
>>137125719
Because Moon Guard exists. Basically sorted them no matter what happens.

Hello. i am 99% sure that you are fucking retarded and were either born with or developed a serious case of autism. I just hope you realise that. I'm sure that you are so fucking retarded, not even your mom could love you and yet you are likely smarter than half of the fucking faggots i play with. I'm being serious here. The fact that you can read and comprhend this paragraph is astonishing to me, to say the least. Perhaps you aren't as autistic as i thought. lol, jk, April fools, everyone is fucking retarded. If you want to know how to not suck at vanilla wow or at life, listen to this friendly word of advice: Kill urself. Your life is literally fucking worthless and the only thing you can do is kill urself. Althought make sure to liek jump into the sea or a ditch or something, so people won't have to waste their time cleaning up your fucking worthless remains. Thank you for reading this, you inbred cunt.

Samuel Huntington explored this in his Clash of Civilizations.
However, many in the Western world have been gradually trained to think that such a line of thinking is racist, imperialistic, etc. and pushed towards the worldview of a cultural relativist (judge a culture from within, not from your perspective).
Naturally this leads to an enormous level of conflict that we're seeing explode--literally--across the world, but the front line right now is certainly Europe, where the Western civilization is most directly being mixed with a fundamentally incompatible culture in Islam.
Looking at the parallels between that current event and the issues Western players face on Nostalrius vis-a-vis Chinese players is interesting to say the least.
>>137134123
the guild doesn't do ZGs so i dont know how that is the same as getting saved to Ony or MC and then complaining why we don't do BWL
its autism on their part
>>137134123
why not do guild ZG runs?
not like you need a T2 tank for it
>>137134256
Lndi needs to understand not everybody wants to wipe on Ony and be cucked with shit loot decisions when you can join a proper guilds pug and actually have a chance to get what you want with no repair bill
>>137134123
>implying DIF does ZG
The people who do ZG pug it on their own time with any one of a dozen groups that pug it consistently.
Getting saved to Ony or MC is an entirely different ballgame.
>>137134349
because no one in the guild bothers to login when Lndi schedules ZG
>>137134350
then why are they even in the guild asking about BWL when they don't bother showing up to guild raids?
>>137134438
>because no one in the guild bothers to login when Lndi schedules ZG
Wanna know how I know you're so far out of the loop you've got no room to talk?
>>137134819
the last ZG we hosted only 14 people logged in which kind of made the whole "guild only so we get all loot" thing kind of moot
people in DIF are just lazy as fuck, we have over 60 level 60s but only 20-25 login for Molten Core then they ask about BWL, I really don't understand that kind of autism
>>137135016
/vg/ really does have a lot of shitters
or at least people not committed enough to be suitable for a raiding guild
>>137135016
when did that "last ZG" happen
>>137135227
3 weeks ago
>>137134153
I have the same thoughts
>>137135174
its what you said, people are just not committed/lazy on nosg, all the real suitable raiders are in real raid guilds then we have only a few good ones in dif carrying the rest of the weight
>>137135302
where was that announced
nothing in the guild message or after MC/Ony
else I would have joined
Will raiding guilds accept me even tho I never raided on retail/vanilla ?
>>137135436
It's because you retards are split between Horde and Alliance
>>137135576
to be fair lndi has wrangled a 10/10 MC and Ony out of these shitters, if there was a combined guild they'd be far into BWL i'd imagine
>>137135480
Yeah, don't worry about it.
As long as you're willing to learn.
>>137135480
if you havent been raiding for the past 10 years on vanilla private servers you have no chance

why do you keep trying to bait lndi he probably isn't even in this thread yet
lol, starting all this shit because of an ony pug that disbanded after the 2nd wipe

but he's right here >>137133895

is all the lndi bashing one dude samefagging or is it real? I'm horde now but was alliance very briefly months and months ago and lndi was the only /nosg/ person that even tried to be nice to me.
not shit talking /nosg/ really, i was really shy. just saying he was nice and helpful for no real reason.

he is nice and helpful but hes an autist as well
>>137138552
everyone from here is an autist so that isnt saying much
imagine if he was mean to everyone like tucker or FF
>>137138650
he'd get shit talked and camped just like they do?
>>137138552
All I can say is he's way better than anyone I played with Horde side, especially considering they all fucked off the normie guilds and didn't care who they might be leaving behind.
>>137138650
These two are the special kind of autistic cucks.
Although tucker is just a kid, he can communicate like a normal human being on many occasions.
I'm a girl raiding in DIF. I talk and behave like a 19year old man to not rise any suspicion
>>137138650
at least tucker will grow out of that shit tho. He's definitely a huge faggot but he at least has the excuse of being 17-18. Most of us were obnoxious bitches at that age.
I mean, not me of course. But you guys.
FF literally has no redeeming qualities and when swedish authorities eventually find his bloated 7-week-dead body slumped over his keyboard, no one on god's green earth will give a fuck.

that doesn't even make sense senpai
holy shit the PvE server really is immersion breaking
>>137139242
are you the one "gay" guy who hits on Lndi every raid
>>137139405
no I'm not Comfyblanket
>>137139480
I wish comfy would hit on me
>>137139480
i think it was adii last time
>>137139146
>he's way better than anyone I played with Horde side, especially considering they all fucked off the normie guilds and didn't care who they might be leaving
What? i'm horde, too. SD never does anything and they are never serious about the shit they meme about in thread. No one left anyone behind, we just have no choice but to join normie guilds.
>be in SD with the 3 other fags who stick with it and don't server hop
>or pug and gear up and join a raiding guild that fits your timeschedule
which makes more sense? Sheesh.
>>137139632
all it takes is one committed guy to organize raids and people will come
if DIF can do it the horde can do it but none of the guys in big raid guilds are willing to leave and do what lndi did
>>137139741
>do what lndi did
its not hard doing molten core, its so fucking easy yet they still wipe and take 6 hours lmao
>>137139963
the last run took 90 minutes and they haven't wiped in MC for weeks
>>137140025
but they wipe on ony instead
>>137140475
ony with 10 guild members and 30 pugs is a lot harder to carry than 25 guild members and 15 pugs
>>137140475
because retards die to deep breath, warders somehow get pulled in the fight and you can't fucking see ony flying sometimes
Can you afford to skip shimmering flats ?

>these butthurt bronies clutching at straws
no matter what you say or do you still won't even clear trash in BWL
>>137140803
that would imply they would kill 2 bosses in BWL before they get to the first trash pack lol
>>137140803
lol whatever bro, funny how you're unable to understand how easy it is to wipe ony when half of the raid is randoms
How's the ERP community? I wanna get impregnated.
