I've been playing SWTOR again lately. It's in a pretty good state right now, and if you're a Star Wars fan at all you should at least level up one character to experience the storyline. You can subscribe or play for free.
Since they're having a Blizzcon in 2013, I assume they're saving the big announcements for that. They are showing off a Diablo III playable console demo though. I don't really care about that as I have it on PC and haven't played since last summer... but that's another story!
Anyone playing on Northern Shiverpeaks? I just re-installed for the first time since September. Playing a new Warrior and looking for a casual guild to join.
Thinking about dusting off the ole Prot Pally today. He's level 80 and I haven't played him since ICC days.
The mechanics have changed pretty drastically since then, haven't they? Holy power didn't even exists the last time I played him, and I had my entire rotation built into a cast sequence...
Hopefully they can make the combat more fun that Witcher 2 was. I've tried to enjoy it many times now, but can't get more than 15 minutes in without closing the game in frustration.
You're going to eat those Sha spikes no matter what. You get about 0.5 seconds of warning to move your character. My DBM gives me the alert as it's hitting me. Thankfully it does pitiful damage so you can eat them, even in Heroics.
Sounds like you have underscan enabled, which is the default setting on Catalyst Control Center. Go into your video card configuration setting and set it to 0% over/underscan. It's probably on 15% or so right now.
Yes, you can get Golden Lotus from the Enigma Seeds on your farm plot. This is my incredibly small sample size, but over the last two days my results were 3 Golden Lotus on 7 Enigma seeds on Wednesday, and then 4 Golden Lotus on 14 Enigma seeds yesterday.
I can't find drop rate %'s, but it appears that every item slot can drop except for trinkets. The loot will be itemized based on your current spec.
I am going to run some tonight to test the drop rates.
Something that was missed in the patch notes, but you can now (random chance) get ilvl 476 epics from the loot bags for completing Scenarios. Another option for gearing.
