WoW: Wrath of the Lich King CE

[quote name='Number83']Now available for pre-order at Wal-mart.

Just curious...what does everyone think of the 3.0 patch? Like your new talents? I was a Prot Warrior, but now I'm Arms and loving it.[/quote]

I was a Restoration Shaman that was all over the place. Finally decided that a more melee focused (dual wield!) is better so I did that with the respec.

New talents for me are Earthliving Weapon, which adds a chance to heal an additional 220 health when you cast a healing spell. Also they changed the orb shields to instant cast for Water and Lightning shield (used to cost 150 mana or so). Water Shield restore 20 - 30 mana every 5 seconds or so, with 3 orbs each with a chance to heal 120ish mana when it breaks on an enemy. Best part: no mana cost for either. Also some of my totems got steamrolled into one, making them much more effective.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with what they did for the Shaman class.
 
I got turned into a Zombie yesterday...so annoying, but I loved it! I hope this is something that happens all the time and just not until the WotLK comes out.
 
Didn't see it in stock anywhere, but watch the CE page on Circuit City to see if it becomes available for preorder:

Like the Burning Crusade CE, I would think stores like Best Buy, Circuit City and Target will get copies (that can't be preordered in any way) on the release date. And if there's a Micro Center or Fry's in your area, they should get them too. This is assuming that it's mass produced like most video game CE's these days.

So my order went from being November 18th (with one day shipping for $9.99, because my order was in the second batch) to November 13th with FREE RELEASE SHIPPING! :whee: This hopefully means if you have an Amazon.com order you'll get it too.
 
My copy shipped today from gogamer. Unfortunately, I send it to my old address. This means I won't get the game until Thanksgiving, which is not a problem, since my computer died on me two days ago.
 
Mine has shipped from Gogamer.com as well...Will it get here by tomorrow is the question, as I chose el-cheapo shipping...Here's hoping!!!
 
FWIW, I was able to go to a Best Buy brick and mortar and pre-order...I asked if I can reserve the CE, they said those are first come first serve. So, get there early and you have a decent shot.
 
It turns out my copy was delivered. I think I chose the 2 day shipping for only a couple more bucks.

Useless anyway, I don't think anyone can play it until the 13th.

Yeah, I dont think the servers go live until the 13th...Wouldn't it be great though, you can have all the world firsts!!! :whee:
 
[quote name='plasticbathmonki']eh, if the only in-game item you get is a pet, then there's not much here that seems worthwhile IMO.[/quote]

I'm hearing reports that the pet looks just like the Netherdrake that came with the Burning Crusade CE, with a different skin. If thats the case, way to lazy it up. Blizzard...:roll:

Well since the pet that supposedly comes with the WotLK CE is a frost wyrm, that doesn't sound right.

are most BB going to have the CE on the 13th?
 
A bit off topic, but theres a glitch or something, and some of the arena/pvp gear is free on Draka right now. Dunno if its like that on all servers.

It is, and it's one of the reasons I am unsure on the CE this time around. I've got both the original and BC CEs, and I really regret buying the BC CE. I've been trying to gauge if selling the extra stuff you get in it on ebay would make up for most of the extra cost though, because if it does then I'd just sell the artbooks and tracks from all 3 CEs and make back some money.

That was my understanding talking to the CSR at BB. But she said it would be first come first serve.

Here is a link to the Baby Frost Wyrm:

Similar, but just different enough...
 
Saw a bunch of people lining up at GS near where I work. The GS seems to be closing down at 6 to prep for the launch. I think they're doing something special since there was a tent set up on the street with a WotLK poster on it.
 
Some people got posters. Everyone got a scratchoff card with a chance to win crap. No word of anyone winning. Two in our house both lost :/

Overall - Fail event was fail.

Also, it rained and it is fucking cold in Michigan. I pity the people who actually waited outside.
 
Just got back from a Best Buy brick and mortar - They had 2 of the CE's left behind the Customer Service desk. Not sure about the shelves on the floor.
 
I'm installing this now and will be playing for only 60 days. The game came from Amazon yesterday and I didn't even expect it till next week. I picked the free shiping for it.
