Wow is a coming soon what you gonna do.

I wanna play alliance so I can make a dorf warrior.

Guess I'll have to make an orc warrior now.

[Rhuac]

It seems like most people make the comment, "I wanted to play alliance but I guess I'll make an x horde."

Have we polled everyone on this? Seems like alliance would win right now? Or is it people that want to play horde are being homos and not compromising?

[Mourningblade]

I'd honestly like to play the "evil" races, but its not a big deal to me.

I don't know enough yet to make an informed decision.

Have we polled everyone on this? ?

They nerfed the VW he used to be able to take a beating now its WAY hard for him to survive most fights. The bonus thou is now the warlocks have talents and my dots 3 of them all stack and do dmg in 15-30 seconds instead of 45-60 so while you cannot front load like a mage you can mow shit down pretty fast, ina lil while ima retrain my talents so that my dots and my siphons are better so my non existant down time can be done in . seconds instead of seconds. I am hoping that big blue s nerfing was a mistake if its not then I know the infernal will fucking rock.

[Keabit Guinness]

I'll give it a shot and follow everyone else to whatever side like a sheep.

BTW. If the game sucks, I want this thread as a new farm thread sticky.

Undead area is nice Sirion.

True, Tirisfal Glade isn't a wretched starting area, and i suppose Silverpine Forest is somewhat alright, but when i was there it was in no way an optimal place to exp, and I'm not talking just questing, as i solo alot and grinding can greatly outweigh quest exp if you do it right.

As is various people in this guild can't stand PvE for the life of them anyways, what makes anyone think they will be able to stomach PvE in another game? Even if the NPCs are cooler to fight, it's still not PvP, and it's noticably harder to gain exp in the horde areas from what I've personally experienced. That being said, i also believe there will be more skilled players playing the horde side, but also alot more assholes playing the horde side.

A guild this size shouldn't have any need to rely on any other guilds in WoW as i have been able to do everything from beginning to endgame with 15 people or less. So if you guys are ruling out alliance because there are more newbs or idiots just remember, 90% of the time you will never have to rely on them to do anything more than defend their areas, and the majority of the ones that will be playing on the PvP servers are still there for PvP.

I personally have no problem playing on either side. I enjoy the undead as a race, and find their racial benefits to be quite interesting (even if they remove immunities to Sap, Intimidating shout, Poly, and Fear, I can still see Underwater Breathing as a major benefit in some areas). But I'll probably end up playing both sides anyways and capping both since it's so easy to level if you know the quest areas.

I would like to see the membership cap of BWC decrease. I know it's a tough balance trying to be a 'layback', 'non-military' guild and placing rules on the membership. This game does not require a guild to have 400 members like Shadowbane did or 100 members like DAoC realm raiding. 40 members is enough and it's also easier to keep people in good gear and relative level.

The content for the alliance island was developed first. It has gone through more extensive play testing, debuging etc (both islands are quite decent now) but is perhaps the 'easy' mode in WoW. There was a dedicated Human push (phase1) and Dwarven push (phase2) before the Horde was even released. If that is your thing enjoy. You should level slightly faster and have access to Paly's . You will also have the zerg on your side. On either side this game is not overly difficult to level in. My buddy Hamfist of SoL shot through 45 in one week to win the stress test contest and was not the top guy on other servers.

I'm coming up on a year in this game and will be playing red server Horde without a doubt, until I get bored and the community moves to either DnL or GW2 beta. The main reason is I would rather fight the zerg then feed it. I also received an EQ2 beta invite but have no interest there. I get way to bored to camp a game for 4-5 years at a time, and go where I believe the gaming talent shifts. I'll always enjoy these forums though and have much love for the BWC. Hell, I helped found this madness. My advise would be

[Twystyd]

priest talents look promising.

I like them. I'll place builds in the WoW forums -

[Xarkon]

if you had to pick between a hunter rouge and warrior which would you pick?

i want to play a tank rather than a caster type a was wondering which was the best to play so i can start reading up on that certain class.

I really haven't been following WoW as much as some here but it does look to be a good break from school due to i got nothing to do when im bored. (sidenote winke stfu)

Thanks for the help

[Twystyd]

Hunters are fairly new and still need a bunch of work. Warriors and rogues are both well worked classes, so I'll give you the nuts and bolts and expand on anything you would like to know.

Warriors are the only 'mail' wearing class in the game for the Horde and one of two (Palys) for the alliance. Both Rogues and Hunters wear leather.

Hunters excel at range while the rogue and warrior are more melee based. I should note the warrior can fire guns like the hunter while the rogue tosses shit mainly used for pulling mobs.

Unique abilities...Warriors have the highest HP accumulation and can adjust battle stances making them more 'offensive' or 'ddefensive. Rogues have stealth and can sprint stealthed in WoW. Hunters can charm pets up to their level.

At this point I would go either Warrior or Rogue but in all fairness hunters are going to change quite a bit in the future. They still need a lot of play testing. They do not stealth in WoW.

[Sirion]

Warriors can wear Plate armor, Hunters and Shamans can both wear mail. Other than those minor things Law pretty much squared away the basics, although, unless they changed it, Hunters are a damn fine kiting class as you can run away from something, jump into the air make a 90degree spin so the mob is viewable in the most extreme edge of your camera and pump out a special shot, then spin back to the front and due to your initial momentum barely slow down. This would probably make them one of the harder classes for Warriors and/or Pallys to fight (assuming the Warrior doesn't charge in first, and the Hunter isn't trying to PvP with AoT up).

Also, of recent note, my friends have decided that they want to play Horde again (godamn sons of bitches need to pick a side and stick with it IMO) so I'll probably have them join up on the same server you guys pick. That way we can still be on the same side, but Law is right, there is absolutly no reason to have more than 20-40 people in a guild in this game as the game currently stands. So far every endgame quest/instance I've done has been doable with 15 people or less. Most of the time (ideal classes and whatnot) 2 groups is all you will need. I can't comment on raid geared instances however, as there are currently no "real" ones available (BRS is suppose to take 1-2 fg of 55-60 characters to fully complete).

[Flipout]

So your proposing those who would like to join Alliance, join and form BWC.
And those who would join Horde, join and form BWC (on another server im assuming)?

[Sirion]

I'm not sure Law is really implying that people need to go, but he is correct, there is no reason to have the mass surplus of people like we did in DAoC, where we would go on recruiting binges to replenish ranks because we were only seeing 15 people online in primetime. In this game 15 people online in primetime is all you will ever NEED to get things done, but is probably more then you will ever HAVE to use (raid instances aside of course).

The smart thing to do would be to get with people that want to play the same thing as you and just make a division of BWC there though, that way if people from BWC: Horde get bored, they can always come see their friends on BWC: Alliance and vice versa. There is nothing worse in a game than playing a realm you really don't want to play simply because most of your friends are going to be playing that realm. As long as we can all still access the boards, I personally don't see anything wrong with forming up on two servers so that people can get a taste of both worlds. Afterall, it's really easy to level in this game, and even though PvE IS still a chore, it's nowhere near as bad as the PvE you know from DAoC.

I know I personally will most likely be playing in a guild on the same team as BWC and grouping with you guys as i have always done, but there is no reason to inflate the guilds' numbers with the 10+ RL friends that want to all play WoW together when we can just work side by side IMO. (just don't take away my board access ><)

Ill be there, as a priest.
