2. Is there anything similar to Grid, but without that background layout? Due to the layouts, if my groups have less than the specified amount, like 10 people in a 25 person battleground, I get a large empty space, but with the background of Grid. I can change the layout format, but I would prefer something that is more intuitive. If that isn't clear what I'm asking, I can take a SS.

1. just put them on your action bars and keybind the slots on the bar. Using clique as DPS would be a pretty horrible idea.

2. You should be able to set up different layouts for different sized raids. So for example, you should be able to have a certain layout for 40-man BGs vs a 10-man raid. I haven't used grid in a while though so I don't remember exactly how it works.

Raids are easier, you can raid just 2-3 days a week and still be fairly successful (depending on what your definition of success is. But you can really be anywhere from still working on a couple of the normals, all the way to clearing 8/8 H with 3 days a week this tier depending on your raid's skill level). From what I've seen, it is far more likely that a group will raid somewhere between 1-4 days per week rather than 5+. At least on my server and on the majority of the threads in the guild recruitment forum I've seen, 2-3 days is by far the norm, and 5+ isn't that common.

Gearing up is far easier than it was in BC, there's a tool that groups you with random players (cross-realm) to do the normal/heroic dungeons, so no more waiting forever to form your own group in trade just to have the tank leave after a few pulls, or whatever used to happen.

If those were the main reasons you quit, then you would probably really enjoy how the game is right now.

Thanks a lot. Things have certainly changed. I think I also heard that you don't need to get "acces keys" for the raids anymore (Before, you had to do a series of quests with dungeons etc... to get access to raids). Think I will give it a shot for a month and see how things go.

They got rid of attunement quests entirely. Now is an especailly good time to play if you were hoping to be able to do raids in random groups and not need to get into a good guild because they have been nerfing Dragon Soul (the current raid instance).

And its not like the BC days btw where you have to start with the lowest raid instance to work your way up to get the gear you need for the current one. They made it so 5mans give you loot equivalent to the last tier of raids so you can jump right into current raiding with ease if you run 5 mans for a week or two.

Just a heads-up:

If you were running WoW on the 64bit client, you won't be able to update to the new patch.

Go into your WoW Folder and delete the following files:

Windows
Battle.net-64.dll
MovieProxy.exe
WoW-64.exe

Mac
World of Warcraft-64.app

It will work after that. I tried updating and now after deleting the files it is repairing my game data. Blizzard said the new 64bit will be up again after the patch is live.

TheRempel · 02-28-2012, 07:10 PM

You can just delete WoW-64.exe and it you will be able to log in.

topher123890 · 02-28-2012, 08:07 PM

I didn't even delete anything, just made sure to log in with the 32 bit client instead of the 64-bit.

I need some advice, if there is any.

I am maxed on tailoring. I have been doing TolBarad dailies for awhile to try and get the drake with 200 commendations (at 166 right now).

I get a ton of Embersilk Cloth. Right now I have almost 22 stacks of it and don't know what to do with it. I've been selling one or two stacks here and there and every now and then I will make a tailoring pvp item to sell on the AH for 450-500g, but they don't sell all that quickly.

I also made a few embersilk bags, but I don't always like to use up my hypnotic dust on them.

Any idea on what I should use my cloth for? Is there anything?

Why not? Hypnotic dust is like free on the AH. Or is that just my server?

topher123890 · 02-28-2012, 10:46 PM

Dust was dirt cheap on mine last time I checked

ItalianFX · 02-28-2012, 11:25 PM

60g is cheapest stack on my server. I don't like buying stuff, but then again, I don't know what you guys consider dirt cheap. ----- I have 32,677g tho.

I have 5.5 stacks of Hypnotic Dust. I'm pretty much fully enchanted.

I feel like I should save the dust for my DK, hoping to get him to 85, but then again. once I start questing through Cata with him, I'll be getting a ton of DE gear.

Just a quick look, I think I could make 5 bags, which would use up most of the cloth.

topher123890 · 02-28-2012, 11:29 PM

Oh, like it's under 20g/stack on my server most of the time, and it was 10g/stack the last time I checked, but that was the lowest I'd seen it.
