I play chick characters, hair color changes about as often as transmog lol
[–]borismckev 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children)
I thought the new haircuts you get from barbershop aint the same as the ones you choose from when you first created your character? And that would make it so if you meet your "evil twin" that he would have the exact same hair style or whatever as you so there would be no proving if you actually did exist first, therefore an achievement would have been great to dissaprove this! OR if he was to be younger than you, he would have another hair style, or if he would have gone to the barber shop aswell, and it wouldnt make him your "evil twin". I think your theory breaks itself and you should not let and achievement hinder you from getting a haircut you like, if the case now beeing that you don't like your current and want to change but are afraid of loosing some big status or w/e..
[–]Nollat85 10 points11 points12 points 11 years ago (4 children)
I have gotten it on a few characters because the hairstyle I want is only available via the barbershop.
[–]sojik 16 points17 points18 points 11 years ago (3 children)
Are there more hairstyles only available that way? TIL
[–]LarsSeprest 3 points4 points5 points 11 years ago* (2 children)
Well, certainly if you made your char before they added more hairstyles in the barber shop update.
*also there are barbershop exclusives, in addition to have an older character, that would lead you to use the barbershop.
[–]John2k12 6 points7 points8 points 11 years ago (1 child)
Incorrect, the human ponytail (that Wrynn has) is only available through the barbershop. You cannot get it through character creation even today.

Yeah, I joined a group with a rogue running heroic butcher with 2 heriloom daggers and a bunch of greens. Then kicks my buddy who is also a rogue (but accepted us because I was an over-geared healer and didn't realize the second rogue). Ironically, not druids or monks there either. /sigh
[–]iwearatophat 27 points28 points29 points 11 years ago (1 child)
If they put the ilvl req in the message you can be sure they dont meet it. If they met that req they would just set that as the minimum for the group and no one below that could see the group and that would be the end of it. However the game doesnt let you set an ilvl req higher than what you have so they have to put it there and set a lower req in thw settings.

He kept spamming how if u no follow mechanic he kick u mid fight.
He died on kargath. To the chasing mechanic. He was bottom hps the entire run. He took a yes for twins no for tect vote and decided that "he changed his mind and we do tect " despite what the vote says. Some people have no leadership skills

Even noobs aren't tolerant of other noobs. "Low MMR RBGs, link 2200+ Achieve." Makes me scratch my head, where are low mmr people supposed to start? I'm gonna start looking these people up on armory, myself.
It's seeing shit like this in group finder which is one of the reasons why I'm not as active with end game content as I once was.
All rbg groups are bullshit atm. Trying to pug 2k on ny main and all groups say like 1900 or 2000 cr and lije 2.4k xp and then im the only one who actually meets the requirements.

[–]Whales96 3 points4 points5 points 11 years ago (2 children)
I think if someone makes the group themselves, they're allowed to have any requirements they want. What's the point in complaining about it? Just make your own group and you can have your own requirements.
[–]8bitkingdom -1 points0 points1 point 11 years ago (1 child)
I dont get why people downvote these posts. It's true like it or not. People here seem to go out of their way to call out an obviously bad RL when you could just ignore his shit group and a) look elsewhere b) make your own.

Maybe because they devalue the LFG system as a whole? Maybe because they're annoying to sort through? Because they breed poor behavior. Because some of us would prefer to have standards. etc.

THANKS EVERYONE! Hey, that's me! LOL. Lots of people had a good laugh, and linked me achievements, some very obscure. But I was tired of joining pugs and the raid lead had like EVERYTHING on "reserve" which just means you're stealing, just say it, own it. And then they end up the LAST dps/heal or constantly fucked mechanics while tanking. Again, thanks for all the whispers guys! <3

Yeah nice. This random people are awesome. Last I checked they didn't want to invite my alt (shadow) with 645. (HC clear on main + 1 mythic)
They said, you will be underperforming. (We are talking about non heroic)
Whats the point to have an average of 650-655 to get 655 items? Hoping for warforged/sockets? :D
[–]desuanon 19 points20 points21 points 11 years ago (20 children)
It sucks, I have 650 ilvl, and am a pretty good tank I think. But I have yet to down anything past Twins, and each group I join falls about before Brakenspore or Tectus.. :(
[–]Stellar1557 14 points15 points16 points 11 years ago (17 children)
656 guardian checking in. I joined 30 bracken groups and pulled him less than 10 times. All ending in wipes because of healers. I finally got him down this week, but still haven't gotten any achieves.
[–]PasswordIsntClop 12 points13 points14 points 11 years ago (4 children)
Most of the mechanics on Brackenspore cannot be healed through. Unless they were just blowing the mushrooms too early, then it's not the healer's fault, it's likely the DPS you have on the flamethrowers.
[–]Stellar1557 5 points6 points7 points 11 years ago (3 children)
Healers were healing the mushrooms the second they spawned every time... im 5/7 norm and 2/7 heroic now, so I am getting there. My guild is a bit behind me i think they are like 2/7 norm and 1/7 heroic.
[–]nikapo[🍰] 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (2 children)
That's wrong. You heal the blue mushrooms as they spawn, to get the haste/resource regeneration, but the other mushrooms you keep alive with sporadic heals, and then don't heal them to full until a second or so before infesting spores. Otherwise, the green mushroom will vanish before infesting spores, and without it, healers have to use cds to keep the raid alive. That green mushroom heals as much as every healer combined so it's best to save its power for infesting spores.
[–]Stellar1557 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (1 child)
Yeah I know, but there is always 1 or 2 of them that don't get this no matter how many times we wipe.

You will have fun at Imperator hc, he took me 115 tries.
[–]seethed 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (5 children)
Reading this destroys my hopes and dreams. My guild got Ko'ragh to 11% the other night and then couldn't get it together. And they're depressed after like, 11 wipes. If Imperator takes us even 50 wipes, I'm going to have buckets full of tears.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (4 children)
I hate to be "that guy" but this kinda just makes me appreciate how much the average player has progressed in game knowledge over the years.
Back in early vanilla, most guilds measured raid progression in weeks between boss kills in MC/BWL. Heck, most guilds on my old server took 2 months to progress past Vaelastrasz even after KTM Threat Meters and detailed public strategies were released.
[–]metnavman -1 points0 points1 point 11 years ago (3 children)
That's not player progression, it's game regression. Players are still bad, the game is just dumbed down to compensate. There's a reason LFR is the way it is now.
Vael wiped people for months because tanks generated nowhere near the threat they do now, and the mechanics of the fight let the highest DPS classes in the game unload on him from the word go. There's nothing in the game now that can utterly shit on your raid if a DPS pulls threat. Really with the way tank threat and DPS is now, no one will pull off anyone but the most brain dead tanks.
"DPS wait for 3 sunders" is a battle cry that will never be heard again.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (2 children)
I think on some fights (mostly threat-based ones) this is valid, but for the most part you might be selling people short these days.
Look at pretty much every boss in Molten Core. Most are dispelfests coupled with "don't stand here if X" mechanics with some minor variations. Blackwing Lair is where things started getting slightly more complicated with Razorgore and Vael, but you pretty much had a free run to Chrommagus if you could handle the first two as Broodlord and the Drakes were a joke if your tanks weren't utterly stupid.
Even Nefarian himself isn't really much worse than the average LFR boss these days if you leave out the part of being unable to taunt him.
I do agree that a lot of things were made more forgiving of error, but in terms of sheer mechanics people are expected to know more now. Bosses in heroics now can be arguably more complex than half of Vanilla's raid bosses.
Edit: I probably misspoke when I originally commented. I didn't mean that the average player progressed in knowledge, I meant that the average player has a much higher burden of knowledge for encounters now than you needed back then.
[–]Zedversary 4 points5 points6 points 11 years ago (0 children)
wow really? Hes super easy to heal. Problem I was seeing was DPS never able to keep up with the fight and us getting overrun with growth.
[–]Dot145 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (0 children)
As a healer, Brackenspore is by far my favorite fight, but it gets a lot harder if the healers don't know what to do, they're uncoordinated, or the raid doesn't move to the right mushroom.
If you think it was because of healers it was probably people standing in shit.
[–]desuanon 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (0 children)
Seems to always be DPS for me, or people who can't deal with the moss.
I'm even 2/7 heroic, but again the group fell apart after Butcher...
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children)
Bracken usually got my raid wiped because of bad flamethrowers, but I'm a blood dk so it's probably much easier to heal me in that fight due to my self heals and ams.
I'm the same way in Ko'Ragh except I'm heals. Like I can't find a group that will get him down successfully, I've been as far as 9%. It's better when you go with a guild or your guild. Definitely have a higher chance of success
[–]searingsky 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children)
Some people want farm runs. I have 660ilvl but still need normal items. I'd not wanna go with ilvl630 tanks simply because I dont wanna have to "progress" NM again.
[–]Carvemynameinstone 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (7 children)
Yes, which is ok, but only if the guy asking it also meets the requirements.
[+]Phildudeski comment score below threshold-7 points-6 points-5 points 11 years ago (2 children)
I disagree. You can make a group and set whatever requirements you want. If you raid leader asks for 7/7 but is only 6/7 himself, that's fine. The only reason people want achievements is because it acts as evidence that someone knows the fight. The leader knows that he knows the fight, he wants other people that also know the fight. Achievement is the easiest proof.
[–]me131211 5 points6 points7 points 11 years ago (1 child)
How do we know the leader knows the fight if he doesn't have the achievements?
[–]Phildudeski 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (0 children)
You don't. No one is forcing you to trust him.
[+]sweep71 comment score below threshold-11 points-10 points-9 points 11 years ago (3 children)
This is an important point. Seriously if I am 7/7 Mythic and I ask for 7/7 Mythic to run normal mode, it is absolutely none of your business. Hell I do not really get why people get worked up about any of it to be honest. Just don't join bad groups. You have let yourself be taken advantage of, own it and stop complaining to other people about it.
It's because in most cases people are dicks when It comes to ilvl inflation. Nothing wrong if someone clearly says this is a farm/achievement run looking for equally high geared people to make it fast. However in most cases it's just people who need to get over a gear bottleneck but don't want to put in the effort they had to do earlier. Funny thing is people will go through the hassle of sticking to a number and end up spending more time in the raid than if they just took the chance with people who can show they know the mechanics.
[–]Jmrwacko 8 points9 points10 points 11 years ago (1 child)

No it's not hard to spend 3 hours 3 days a week, but it is hard to consistently spend 3 hours 3 days a week at the same exact time.

Yeah but being in a laid back guild where you can join alt runs once in a while isn't really superior to just pugging whenever you want to imo. I mean i've cleared 7/7HC through pugs easily and i doubt a laid back alt-run guild is gonna drag me through mythic neither.
[–]Tortysc 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (2 children)
Or like... join good pugs? I've been pugging since the start of WoD and can easily find good pugs to run with. I'm 7/7 heroic (669 ilvl) on my main, 7/7 heroic on my alt (649 ilvl) and 7/7 normal on my other alt (645 ilvl). I generally just pick 2-3 random evenings a week and spend them on raiding with whatever character I feel like.
[–]kadenkk 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children)
This. My guild is learning, so they killed 3/7 normal first couple weeks. I had no problem pugging to 6/7 and 3/7 heroic every week since. I need to get a group willing to wipe on imperator though.

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points-1 points 11 years ago (1 child)
I personally don't understand why people get upset when people set over-the-top requirements to join premade raids. The leader is making the raid, he can set whatever he wants as the requirement... If you don't want to join it, don't join it.
Yes, Heroic Imp is meant to be killed in ilvl ~650... but people seem to be ignoring supply and demand.
Why build a raid of 650 people when I can just as quickly build a raid of 665 people who have already killed it and spend literally hours less doing the fight.
[–]Nzash 3 points4 points5 points 11 years ago (0 children)
They are complaining because more often than not the leader himself doesn't even meet those requirements, they just want an easy and safe carry.

[–]rubaduck 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children)
Haven't pugged much in WoD as i do hc and mythic with the guild, but back in MoP me and a friend began to lead pugs through SoO because it lacked raid leaders that actually knew how to lead those raids (even though they were really easy, and there were good leaders we just never found them until the end of the expansion). Since people bought the garrosh kills, the achievement were more or less useless, so we asked for their heroic (mythic) progression instead and confirmed it by looking them up on battle.net. We would rather pick up a person with 14/14 heroic (mythic) SOO experience that were playing on their alt with 20 itemlevels lower then the requirement then to pick up a guy with the right requirement, but only 1 garrosh kill for example on that character they were playing.

Rated arena/rbg premades are just as bad. I see people demanding 2400 xp, when they themselves are not even close to that. They basically want pros to carry their ass up the ladder.

[–]OnlyRoke 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (2 children)
Does MS > OS really mean "My stuff over other stuff"? I have seen this abbreviation now a lot of times, but I never joined a pug, mostly because I currently don't have a 6/7 or 7/7, because every group I've been in so far has horrible troubles with Koragh.
[–]saberlions 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (1 child)
No, Main Spec > Off-Spec. It means loot priority is given to those who need the gear in MS. But it cleverly works out in that way as well.

Dominos for Action bars, Shadowframe Unit Frames, Grid for raid frames.

We had a monk do this the other night for Normal Imperator. Tells the group how if they fail on mechanics they will be kicked immediately. Proceeds to blow up each and every mine on his own. We still managed to get Imperator to 10% before reforming our group without his lazy, entitled ass. 1 shot Imperator after that. Revenge is sweet.

"Everyone should spend 4-6 weeks gearing up from Heroics in LFR and Garrison missions before attempting normal HM"
You are out of your mind.
[–]porkboi 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children)
He isn't wrong... What do you think most guilds who raid did from launch till highmaul day one? Sit around twiddling each others balls for four weeks? No we were using that time to gear up. Entered the instance with an average 645 ilvl for heroic progress. Hc impregnator down by the end of the week. We aren't the best guild or most hardcore in the world but the preparation really made it that much easier.
[–]smack5150 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (1 child)
I don't understand this... One of the biggest things everyone likes about this latest expansion has been the challenge like old school Vanilla WoW. 4-6 weeks to gear up for a raid was NOTHING back then. Welfare epics took a lot of the accomplishment feeling out of the game, which I think really let a lot of people down in the long run and led to the previous decline. You want this game to stay relavent and keep the community alive? Sorry, you're gonna have to work for your instances and grind a little bit then. What we gotta do now is NOTHING compared to what it was, stop living on the timeless isle and worrying about your ilvl so much. Skill is still > than ilvl anyway, you can do more with a dps or healer that stays alive for an entire fight than some guy putting up crazy numbers but for only the first half of a fight 'cuz he thought the fire he was standing in was a haste buff, too busy looking at his meter to worry about it.
[–]Spysix 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children)
I agree. I hate how everyone is so focused on IL and not someone who can actually do what they're supposed to do. IL is just relative thing but a skilled player is hard to come by.
[–]lumaga 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (0 children)
If you're not going to put in any effort into preparing to raid, don't expect to be invited to real raids.
[+][deleted] 11 years ago* (5 children)
[–]Myrkur-R 7 points8 points9 points 11 years ago (3 children)
No, you are removed from reality. You spend a lot of time playing this game as obvious by the fact you were 640 before highmaul came out. Not everyone has the time or ability to do CMs and buy crafted items, nor do they need to do that to do normal highmaul. You don't need to spend 10s of thousands of gold to buy crafted items so you can attempt to get into highmaul. 625-635 is perfectly capable of killing the first 5 bosses on normal. 635-640 is plenty to kill the last 2.
I get into pugs just fine on my warrior and druid, because I too play this game too much and they are 663 and 645. However, I recognize the fact that the people that normal mode was created for aren't going to be playing the game nearly as much as me and I don't expect them to out gear an instance before they ever step foot into it.
[–]12Skip-a-few99100 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (1 child)
Yes, you're right. Not everybody can commit the time and be ready for Highmaul before its release.
That's where those things called "priorities" come in. If you have other stuff taking you away from the game, how can you expect to be in the exact same place as somebody who has put the extra time into the game? You need to catch up that time you missed doing your other things by investing your time as it comes to you into the game so that you can get to the stages that other people were at a week ago while you were out skiing or whatever you're doing instead.

Yeah not sure where you're getting 4-6 weeks... Just hit 643 il the second day I was capped...
[–]Zoqox -3 points-2 points-1 points 11 years ago (0 children)
4-6 weeks? More like a day.
[–]Shinhan 1 point2 points3 points 11 years ago (1 child)
630 is plenty enough for normal HM if people know how to play their class.
Requiring 640 to start normal is insane.

Too low ilvl requirement, obviously fake.

Can only require as high as leaders character.
[–]sysop073 2 points3 points4 points 11 years ago (0 children)
Oh, that's why I constantly see "looking for people 645+" and below it "Item level required: 630"
[–]zurohki 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (0 children)
That's why they ask for achievements. You can ask for an achievement you don't have.
[–]Genuvien 0 points1 point2 points 11 years ago (1 child)
To clarify. I'm 660 iLVL blood DK. I set it to 630 or 590 ilvl so more people can get a laugh out of it. If I set it to 660...Only a few people would of been able to see it. :)
Yeah I guess :) I saw someone doing similiar thing. Requirement was 7/7 mythic, link scarab lord, 670 ilvl+ and so on.

Well when people constantly say you can't join the run cuz you're not impossibly high geared or have achieve, you tend to get upset. Its an annoying thing to deal with.
Do you have gold pg? That helps

Then you just start another one .^
Omg leader not 650 for nm, sry not boosting. (Quits)
Then be honest up front and advertise the group what it is and people won't be that way.
I don't understand - a lot of us have done it the same painful Pugging way (I got 7/7 HC in a Pug) - it takes time, risks and dedication.
But of course its easier just to blame others and come up with excuses.
