So I just pinged an EU server ... 240ms playable? I remember sub 200's back when I still played a year or two ago.

Perfectly playable. Just not for PvP. Fine for dungeon and raiding etc

I have a couple of accounts

I got 'the Fabulous' last night from just logging onto the 40-50 characters I've made over the years across my accounts :twisted:

Heads up - Make a gnome warrior, and get to the surface (complete 4 quests to do so)... 2h Blue 'Very Light' Saber as a reward, unlocks for both factions

Are there any talks of faction and/or realm for the MyBB guild for Legion?

Arzy · Jul 21, 2016

Im switching to draenor horde, akasha is already there along with some others.

This is my problem. My two most awesome toons are Alliance. I have a couple of great Horde toons too. But to join the Guild then I would have to faction change my Druid or Warrior. I can transfer my Rogue no problem. Bleh, I'll see when I get online.

Yea, it's perfect. I think I'll have to re-roll a new toon on the server these guys are on. Maybe, you myself and Eina can re-roll like the old days?

Yup. You should see the people *itching on mmo champion - Warlock 200k damage down to 80k.

You should check out the hunter forums... man its a whinefest... Up to date, I have survived all the pre-expansion changes, even the shift from mana to focus, but this pre-patch really have the people upset

Its quite funny when you see topic's posted like :

"Hunter Changes Designed by Donald Trump?"
"WTF did you do to my Class?!?!?!?"
"RIP hunter class"
"Blizzard on Hunter feedback. "Deal with it."
"Current State of Hunters..."
"Unsubscribing after 9 years"
"Coming to terms with blizzards lack of caring"
"This was your last chance, Blizzard."
"Not playing hunter this expansion

"
"NO KILL SHOT = WILL NEVER SPEND ANOTHER DIME"

Man the list goes on and on !

Wait till you see what sidewinders do in a dungeon / raid... man, you pull the whole #&$^$%^ room with a shot towards your targetted mob... tanks utterly hate hunters LOL

Every expansion.... same drama ! :-D

Hmm, I rechecked and it seems I read the pings wrong. I am looking at closer to 500ms. I'll do a few nights of pings to confirm. As to Eina, he is a working man now and has no time to game anymore (so he says).

I'll need to get a copy when I get back into SA as trying to download XX gigs up here would take a few weeks ..

From what I've read, isn't MM now literally a 3 button spec?

Ye well it's a pitty they seem to be doing the horde side.
Most of my toons are Alliance side & I moved my main back also.

I'll just stay and see where Legion takes me.

Huntards have had a raw deal since day 1. No other class had to endure a deadzone ever. Then the nerfs, focus, etc.

Can I get the carrots anyhow? Pet loves them.

Our hunter is still doing top dps in most of the hc bosses we did last night? Can not be that bad then.... some whiners will always be ummm "whiners"

Cool, I'll also only join in a week or two. WISP only being installed today, so will probably have a soak week also. 500ms is fine for levelling. You rock the low ping when ta home

Eina will be back, they always come back

Pornolio? Have not seen you in ages! I guess Rambozo have been retired a long time ago or are you still lurking in Shadowsong?

I have not played much in Draenor, but my initial runs with the new BM spec for legion have not been too bad. And I would like to see the build and dps numbers at level 110 where it is suppose to start working again.
What I do hate though is my holy paladin healing.... That just feels broken, it was planned for a melee healer. Then they took the melee part out and now it is stuck as a healer in melee range...

Yaarrrr that be me

Nice to see some familiar nicknames still lurking around here.
Rambozo on EU realms is parked yes, and when I moved to NZ, I had to re-roll on the US / Pacific realms to enjoy the delicious 23 ms... BUT there is a new Rambozo (same toon name) on the US realms, still a hunter yes... love the class. Never really stopped playing, only calmed down on the raiding for realm 1st guilds and serious progression guilds. Just took to much commitment and time to raid 3 /4 nights a week. Been in a few runs with some serious killer guilds ... but with the rise of the casual playstyle, its possible to join a Heroic / Mythic run and kill only the boss you want loot from. No more attunement etc. required.

MM hunter is currently pretty badly broken, so I am gonna hang low profile and wait for legion before the builds start working again.
Feels weird staring at a UI with pretty much 3 abilities. Feels so empty ! Dont think i will ever be a traitor hunter to play melee spec, so survival is not an option for me... even at 23 Ms ;-)

So I decided to take the plunge and will re-sub this week when I fly back into SA.

I think my biggest concern is class at the moment. I can either level up one of my old toons (level 80 - 95 range) or roll a new toon.

My other concern is my ping when I am up north. What should I roll that will be okay to level with a 400 - 500ms ping? Opinions appreciated.
