@Westia: yes you right,and i understand not everyone have the money for that,but dont ask a company to make a game that fit for every computer,every connexion for every part of the world,is your connection sux or village have bad connection,its not blizz fault,even with all their bad sides.So if it works for me and a lot of peeps i know,it means the content and patch is correct.and the problem comes from outside.

Wow... simply wow...

...it's barely been one day and Blizzard is already hotfixing epic drop rates in Firelands, with the nasty side effect of rendering the game disabled for a large segment of their users...

...which also gives those who extensively raided Firelands trash yesterday a huge jump on everyone else now that junk drops with the epics...

...wow... simply wow.

Congratulations Blizzard. Your programming is now on par with most of Zynga's free Facebook games.

Be proud.

@Kuthuman: You know...I don't really like people like you. You're a no-life who sits here complaining about a game that they OBVIOUSLY put a lot of time into(or else your gear wouldn't be where it's at) yet you still have the nerve to insult people's ability on a level that you can't even comprehend. I guarantee that you wouldn't be able to do a better job. It's called trial and error you jack ass. If you wanna complain about a game, at least be able to make a better one.

@Allaalia: Well said. Instead of having the raid mentality that a normal person should have (which is that people are working together to accomplish something) he's probably the guy who spends hours on end gearing up his character and staring at recount numbers making excuses for everything. Can't discount he is a mage - the most OP pvp class in the game and the easy-wrath-dps class that got nerfed in cata and can't cope.

@Kalanor: Try restarting you computer. Passed that you may want to start the launcher and wait a bit cause (for me) a top up patch just started loading.

I Love the Raid/Dungeon Info. Button. It totally helps me get a feel for raid bosses, and it's much easier then me pulling up another window and looking it up online to figure out what happens. GJ With that :) I love critter achievement for Hyjal, made me giggle :)

I seem to be drawing more aggro then normal though, my pet is having trouble keeping it off me, and I didn't have this problem before.
&& One of the quests I did in Hyjal kind of glitched, it worked and all, but the people did not respond to their surroundings, like the others did.

&& So far I'm loving the quest line story. Nice epic back piece made my day, so ty Blizz for the awesome new stuff for me to do :)
