PostMy teeth plot rebellion. by **Mr.Jeff** » Tue Aug 19, 2008 1:21 pm

Just wanted to let you all know that Blizzard will be unveiling the opening cinematic movie for World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King at the Games Convention in Leipzig. The cinematic will be shown at 1:00 p.m., Thursday 21 August at the Blizzard Entertainment booth (D01 in Hall 5). A Q&A session featuring members of the cinematics team will immediately follow.

New cinematic on Thursday! If you didn't catch the previous 2 ones, have a look at them on your wow startup page. They're extremely well done.

I love the cinematics for WoW and Burning Crusade, brilliantly done. Although I feel nothing can capture the magic of the cinematics in Warcraft III, now those were awsome.

Aint that the truth. The scene with Arthas returning to Lordaeron and Thrall and Grom facing off against Mannoroth were both superb. And then there's the final video with Arthas ascending the Frozen Throne which is particularly apt for the new game.

Well, I used to play a lot on Draenor but since my guild collapsed and I have nothing to do on my main character, I'm raising another Warrior on Karazahn EU hordeside for kicks (female Tauren, too!).

Poke Araeola on either Draenor alliance side or Karazahn horde side.

Maybe you guys can help...

I downloaded the trial from http://www.trywarcraft.com and get some error when I try to play saying...

----------World of Warcraft----------

Failed to find a suitable display device.
------Exiting the program now.--------

Any idea on what I should do to get it working?

EDIT: This is what it does:

I play on Xavius Alliance. Wish i didnt, our battlegroup and server is dead. Anyway, due to there being no alliance raiding guilds of any worth im stuck pvping now. I mostly play on Twonk - 70 Resto Druid or Sudaer - 70 Rogue.

You should xrealm to a better place. There's no point being held down pointlessly if there's no chance of going forward in the part of the game you love most.

I should really do it myself.

Also, PvP sucks shitballs.

Raising the dragon was brilliant, but still not upto the original games intro

I thought it was fairly awesome. Would liked to have heard Arthas's voice though in the same way the TBC intro had Illidan's.

Just succesfully offtanked my guilds ZA timed run for the bear chest! Woo! Granted the paladin was doing most of the proper tanking but I'm still chuffed. That makes 7 bears now fir us. Just hoping I manage to nab one before Wrath hits since they'll stop dropping from there when it does.

Is it worth gaining attack power and agility but losing some strength ?

we are talking a loss of 10 strength but a gain of 32 attack power and an extra 4 Agility if that makes any diffrence.

Thanks.

Which class? That sounds like a reasonable trade off for all except maybe a warrior? Not entirely sure about that. For rogues, druids, shamans and hunters it'd be a reasonable trade off at least.

PostRe: World of Warcraft! by **Slayerx** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 9:54 pm

Paladin.

Postfacehanding by **Mr.Jeff** » Fri Aug 22, 2008 10:08 pm

Ah, the one class I missed. :fp:

Still, it seems like a good trade off; the ap should make up for the strength loss and you gain the crit from the agi.

PostRe: World of Warcraft! by **Slayerx** » Sun Aug 24, 2008 12:04 pm

Thanks Mr Jeff.

Finally hit 40 last night.

Anyone have a link to the changes made to Paladins coming in the new expansion?
