Very cool!

Hope to see you in Northrend soon, Chrys.

I picked up a headset today, and hope to figure it out tonight. :biggrin:

What were you figuring out, and did it work?

Just making sure it worked right. I haven't logged in to voice yet - I should on my horde guild to test it, but now I've run out of USB ports. Somewhere, I have an attachment that has extra slots.

You can test it with me if you want - I personally miss Vent/party chat and would like to get everyone on it, though some are against the idea. :P

why do we need vent if we can just talk on a wow channel?
i'm not being snotty, that's a real question.
is vent an addon? is it gonna gunk up my screen?
is it easier to use than the wow voice?

Vent is a third-party chat client, so it will not gunk up your screen.

Ease of use is about the same as party chat - very easy.

Advantages over party chat include an ability to make a number of different rooms, and the ability to chat with people who aren't grouped with you.

www.ventrilo.com for more info

Patch day today.

Things to note -
- Anyone can ride a Mechanostrider now!
- Volley nerf
- DK nerfs (to fix the DW frost/unholy dps build that does up to 7k dps)
- DK buffs (base tanking mitigation up, blood tanking buffed)
- Enchanting mats will be better (less dust, more shards)
- Hodir rep easier (relic of ulduar turn in)
- Kysen gaining ~2k health :P
- Titanium transmute on 20 hour cooldown with reduced mats
- Ebonweave tailoring spot moved
- Other stuff I've forgotten

----

On vent: I currently have no plans to be sat talking to my computer at 1am with my parents in the next room. Maybe after I move out I'll consider it.

Looks like no WoW for me tonight! Patch download only happens tomorrow for us here so I have to wait until then.
On the plus side my expansion game arried today...so about to try and install it! I do hope it doesn't give me any hassles!

Oi. Patch day. I've been looking forward to it and dreading it at the same time. :P

See you in Northrend soon, Chrys! :biggrin:

Yep, any computer mic will work with Vent.

Did you ever manage to get your account upgraded? I'm not certain on it, but I think if your account is not activated for WotLK it won't let you play after installing the expansion.

If not, you tried the online upgrade? (You'd be looking for a button/link in this area on the account management page.)

Alas the expansion keeps giving me an error.
I found a copy of the WOTLK (uk version) for a decent price and when trying to download it refused. I also ordered the US code so once its downloaded I can upgrade.
Maybe its because of patch day its not working?
I figured as it doesn't look like I would be able to log in tonight I should upgrade but now I am stuck! :(

It's a Mechanostrider; the Gnome racial mount which was only available to Gnomes and Dwarves before the patch.

Keep saving your runecloth. :wink:

:lol: I already have far too much rune cloth!

Your mount collection is growing I see - how all we need to do is convince the Baron to give up his!

*shakes fist at patch day* yet to be honest...not quite sure if that would really affect the downloading...I just know I am going to be beyond frustrated if this won't work!

It'll work one way or another.

They do seem to be having some issues - Northrend keeps crashing.

Northrend is constantly crashing on my server as well. On a different note though, I hatched my egg from Revered Oracles reputation and got a baby cobra. It goes well with my cobra pet. :biggrin:
