Guest t.fang' Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 you might want to start on a pvp server because they can transfer to other pvp servers or pve servers whereas pve servers can only transfer to other pve servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badboy yardy Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 hm.. are there any 'good' servers to play on or are all fairly equal? i dont want to join a crappy server and im gonna need a lot of help when i start in a few days are there also any good guides out there especially on character build? tichondrius and illidan are two of the most balanced servers right now, and their pvp is off the hook. i started to play on tichondrius (alliance-side) and i encounter world pvp on a daily basis, which is pretty rare nowadays.

PVP is correct, player vs player - horde vs alliance (its not limited to 1v1 unless u decide to duel them) you can join battlegrounds; where two teams battle against eachother for an objective - world pvp is just meeting the opposing side you encounter in the world. PVE is player vs Environment where your guild or group fight bosses and mobs in instances.. for exa,ple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PVP server allows u to attack the other side (horde or alliance) at any instance your in the world whereas in a PVE server you can only ask the other side to a duel and if she / he accepts your offer then the duel is on; in the world i think thats the only difference - but yeh u can still do bosses and everythin like in the pve one .... - i think also in the PVE one people need to chat like character in LOTR with all that gibberish talk to add to the experience of the game kinda gay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest han. Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 personally can't see a reason why people wouldn't play a pvp server. broke 1900 rating in 3v3s, 1800 rating in 2v2s, and 1700 rating in 5v5s! my noob sword is going to be replaced real soon. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest A.Wesker Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 oh ok then i shall join a pvp server. i probably will have some race/class Q's that i will bring up later happy to answer any just outta curiousity what side/class/race are you choosin ?

Guest EYJAYJAY Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 happy to answer any just outta curiousity what side/class/race are you choosin ? im not completely sure right now, maybe u can give me suggestions. for race im looking at undead and blood elf and class im looking at priest and rogue (also interested in druid but cant use undead or blood elf for druids.. and i was interested in archers but i heard they arent that strong?) but yeah, im not sure about the race/class combo, a little help? [edit] i was also reading the wow website and came across this Killing one of the powerful NPCs considered leaders of their race nets a high amount of honor. These racial leaders are all on a two hour spawn timer, and the bonus for their defeat is divided between participating solo characters, groups, and raids based on contribution. The racial leaders are: Thrall Cairne Bloodhoof Lady Sylvanas Windrunner Lor'themar Theron Highlord Bolvar Fordragon King Magni Bronzebeard Archdruid Fandral Staghelm Prophet Velen are those bosses? or are these racial leaders different from bosses of the game? and can u fight the leader while a group is fighting it at the same time?

Mr Boo Boo Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 if your looking for rogues than i would pick undead since they have a high chance of resisting fear, sheep and charm priest...i dont think it really matter much druids well only the cows can be druids and hunters (not rangers lol) i wanna say trolls or orcs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SweetTea Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 A bunch of guys like playing Warcraft. I'd like to play, because I am also a gamer, but I'm scared of getting hooked. There was a guy who dropped out on his Senior year of high school to play Warcraft. @_@ Any screenshots? C: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest han. Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 since when have people taken two hunters into the arena? anyways, they would either dance around the pillar on the bottom, los you using the pillar on top of the ramp, or hide behind the pillar that holds up the bridge. don't know if hiding in the pit gives line of sight or not. or you could just jump on the pillar with one of them, putting them in melee range ice barrier -> fake cast and waste their silencing shot if mm -> poly the hunter on the other side -> frost nova -> laugh at hunter's melee dmg as you kill him with ice lance, coc, fb. -> repoly the other hunter if needed and then proceed to do the same with the other hunter use your trinket / ib / coldsnap when needed you could 1v2 hunters easily. a good hunter would have traps/flares set up on the pillar as soon as he gets there, so your scenario is seriously unrealistic. besides, if two hunters can't pew pew me to death, they're either really undergeared or they suck. but i have taken on 2 hunters before, but it can easily go in favor of the hunters.

Guest Tatsuyin Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 not gonna lie wow is pretty addictive well atleast til 70 imo. After that it's pretty much you can relax and things don't take as much time unless you go hardcore raiding. I'm currently playing a hunter and warrior both are fun. Although hunters have a realllly bad rep on my server (Korgath) just cause most of them just spam arcane >>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAME Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 i think the worst class+race combos would be troll priest and orc warlock, but it doesn't make the huge of a difference. so not true. =P although I agree about troll priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest han. Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 ^seriously, what's not to like about a passive resistance to stuns? easiest class to raise by far is the hunter, due to having a pet. mages and warlocks aren't too hard to raise either. both deal an ridiculous amount of damage, there will be down-time after mobs though.
