Casual, man, casual - play when you want, no worries, no rush. :)

I've had many discussions with fellow guildies about WoW Add-ons and here is list of several add-ons that do are almost essential to my game. And, furthermore, I have not noticed these ones bogging down system performance too much.

Thanks for these, Cosmo! The other one I use is AlphaMap, which overlays a semi-transparent map over the screen. Great for people like me, who get lost easily. (Sadly, it appears the mod author is no longer supporting it...*sigh*)

On a side note, if you ever use Thottbot (or many other WoW helpsites), you'll want to pick up an add-on that provides map coordinates. There are many of these and the one I'm currently running, while memory-efficient, isn't as functional as I wish it were so I don't have a link to a good one. The one I'm currently running only provides the coordinates of your character's position and I seen ones that will give you the coordinates of the cursor on the map, which is much more useful for finding things.

RE: Add-Ons

My current favorites are:

TitanPanel (which is actually a suite of little add-ons that sit along a bar at the top and/or bottom of your screen). It features a bag space counter (shows when your bags are getting full in the form of 18/32 slots, etc.), an ammo counter (awesome for hunters), a durability meter (tells you the durability of your most damaged equipment so you know if you need to start heading back to town or not), a money counter (handy so you don't have to open your bag to see how much cash you have), a coordinate tracker, a Gatherer-esque map marker (which also allows you to make custom notes such as the location of NPCs, etc.), and a regen meter (tracks health and mana regeneration, really not useful unless you're a caster).

DamageMeters. This mod actually connects with the TitanPanel bar to produce a little chart that shows the amount of damage everyone in your party is doing. Also tracks healing, damage taken, and lots of other stuff. Kinda handy for showing off how awesome you are. Really not functional for much else.

Scrolling Combat Text. This mod RULES. It creates a scrolling stream of text showing how much damage/healing you are taking (much like the way damage totals pop out of your enemies when you hit them). It also can display when you gain buffs/debuffs, sound an alarm when your health or mana is running low, and other nifty things.

CT_Mod. This mod is a rather complicated add-on suite that modifies several things. I don't recommend it for inexperienced players as it will probably make things more difficult for you rather than easier. It reorganizes your buffs and debuffs into bars that slowly shrink as the time runs out on them, adds some functionality to the mail system (like the ability to send mass mailings), tracks your repair and flight expenditures, provides a timer function, and allows you to rearrange your action bars and buttons (even adding NEW bars/buttons if you wish). Very handy for experienced players. Makes a lot of changes to your UI and tends to be a memory hog, though. Make sure you set your page file high.

Is it too late to join?

As you get to higher levels, you start to collect different gear for different situations. Perhaps you have a high-stamina outfit for soloing and a high intellect (or high strength) outfit for running in groups.

I need more +Fire damage gear for my mage. Casting three spells to kill a mob of my level is just too much for me. I want these suckers dead before they can even turn to FACE me! :D

I am, however, pleased with the fact that I was able to cause noticable damage in SFK even though I was being run through by a 41 warlock! And I'm only level 25 now! YAY MASSIVE FLAME DEATH!

I've actually never run into this yet. Of course, my main is a rogue, so my soloing style and group style are pretty much the same and I guess it doesn't really matter. Hybrid classes (like shamans and paladins) typically have a healing/caster set and a melee/damage set though, from what I've seen. And yes, Shadow priests often have a set for shadow and a set for healing.

Or just basic "+spell damage". At higher levels, it's fun to start collecting for spell penetration and spell critical chance.
Mmmm... Spell crit... AGHAHahgahaaaagh...

Cindercloth (low-30s)
Dreamweave (low-40s)
Inferno (mid-40s... I think)

They're not actually 'sets' per se, but they all have the same name (Cindercloth Robe, Cindercloth Pants, Cindercloth Shoulders, etc.). They give +Fire and +spell dmg. Some pieces of the Phoenix set would be really nice for now, too, though I'll be outgrowing them very soon.

I've only just discovered this thread, and would love to join if you're taking new members. I've just created a Blood Elf rogue named Spatha. I'll probably end up taking enchanting or engineering as my crafting profession.

Certainly! Just take a look at the list of character names and add them to your friends' list. Just whisper one of us when you see us on and we should be able to get you in. I believe Lilith gave all of us the ability to invite new members.

I'll probably be on again later tonight. I need to roast some mofos.

Githyanki were-dire bat monks indeed. Hmph.

Well, I have been on vacation a couple weeks then have company now; but expect to be back on soon.

it would be cool if we could get together to do a dungeon like RFC or something.

I've got a list o' dungeons that I have to complete for quests, here's my list:

Ragefire Chasm
Shadowfang Keep
Blackfathom Depths
Deatholme (this is in the Ghostlands, which I know some of you aren't going to be able to help out with, but that's okay :D )

Sooo...let's plan for...Wednesday, 6pm PST, for Ragefire Chasm?

k; ragefire is about lvl 15-20; black fathom depths; around 20; shadowkeep around 25. After that we can do Scarlet Monistary :)

guess we just need a schedule.

Made level 30 tonight. Did a ridiculous number of Arathi Basin battlegrounds and, as the Horde always does, we won every single one of them. The Alliance sucks so bad at PvP. It's not even funny.

Actually, it's hilarious.

Blast Wave ftw!!!

Dagnabbit, something came up and I probably won't be able to make it tonight. Don't let me not being there stop you - go forth and do battle! The Demon Queen commands you!

I should still be able to make it on by that time. 6 pm PST is 7 pm MST (my time zone) so that'll give me enough time to get home from work and eat something before engaging in furious flame-death.

"Fatespinner's BBQ - We kill it AND grill it... at the same time!"

Damn, why don't I read outside of general D&D discussion more often?! I would have TOTALLY loved to be a founding member of this.

As it is, I think I'll scrap one of my characters and recreate him for this new guild. I'm away from home right now, but sometime next week, expect a line from Thraekos, a Forsaken mage. He's got the most developed RP story of all my characters.

Looking forward to gaming with all of you!

sheesh; i had the flu bad; got laid up for 5 days; sigh; then again, maybe it was wow withdrawls; fever, chills, achy bones and muscles; tiredness, dizzyness, earaches, nausea, loose stool; hard to tell the difference between withdrawls and the flu.

well, am planning to be on tonight bout 6:30pm mst if anyone needs a slightly used priestess

well; I havent seen but one other person on in a while...just the uber pally of the guild, you guys still playing?

I haven't been able to play in a while due to work, commissions and other sundry items. :(

I've burned out pretty hardcore on WoW lately and have been giving serious consideration to discontinuing my account. Sorry I haven't been around lately. :(

I haven't bothered playing over here in a while. It's just too frustrating. I will probably check out some of the BC when I get back, in about 3 months.

Of course when I do come back Age of Conan will be out and I've been wanting to check that out for almost a year now.

yep; have noticed most of you are around a month of not loggin on; was wondering if you went to another server or just not playing; summer can be a busy time of doing other things too and everyone needs a break from playing once in a while. There just seemed to be so much excitement when the idea for a guild first came out that am bit surprized it is so lonesome playing.

Yep; been watching Age of Conan posts too; looks to be a great game in some repects.

This might be just what I need to get back in to WoW. I'll try to create a Tauren Druid named Agognon

I'll admit, I became a little disenchanted with the game. It got repetitive for me. Not saying I'm out for good, but right now I just don't feel a huge draw to be there.

My excuses are my two 66 characters on Hyjal. It's just so hard to motivate myself to visit my puny and poor lv 20 warlock when I have the two powerhouses that are so close, but have yet to actually make it, to 70.

Lol Cosmo has 70 envy :)

be nice if we could do some dungeons; there are lots of things to do to keep things from being to repetative; play in differnt zones; do quests you skipped before; craft or gather; aid newbies leveling; start an arguement in XR hehe they are always up for it; one thing to do is dont stay in any zone to long and dont play everyday or for too many hours so you get burned out. just a suggestion.

so what kind of crafting do you think you will do? my priestess is called Mahoe; is an herb and skin collector

Anyway Agognon is now lvl 8 gonna play him again later probably I have added everyone on the list to my friends list so when I see someone on I'll get them to add me.

You guys still playin this guild?

Agognon is now lvl 15. The only Paizonian I have seen on is Zevara (level 60) (sp?) and (s)he said (s)he didn't have the ability to invite to guild.

Sadly, a lot of people aren't around at all any more. I'm Zavera, I'm 69 now, will be 70 by Wednesday (heck, probably Tuesday). Noone has ever been on since like two months ago, so I went and joined a friend who was in another guild (who followed me like I followed some other paizonians to this server). I'll help paizonians a bit if I can, just add "Zavera" to buddylist.

Well, add me if you want Fate, I can help a little when I can

well, if you check the guild roster my cleric priestess is like the 3rd highest person and I am on and off all the time during the end of the week and sporatically during the first part of the week; I would like to believe in our guild, but there is almost never anyone on and it is really hard to get gear and do dungeon quests in a guild this inactive; I constantly get requests from peeps I play with to ditch this guild and join theirs; am generally bummed about guilds in the first place and only joined this server to play with Paizonians as I have characters on about 6 other servers of all levels, races, classes. If you scroll back, I seem to be always asking if peeps still have interest and when they are going to play and if we can get together to do any dungeons; was great playing together when we did, but hasnt happened in a long time. Right now I am gearing up to get my mount and collecting the vast number of gold needed; if the guild isnt doing something by the time i get my mount in a more active way, i guess I will do something else; level 40+ isnt as much fun without some friends to play with.

Dontcha Wish Your Girlfriend Was Horde Like Me?

Hammer of Grammar is a great webcomic, btw.

Whisperwind Wow here. Been playing 2 years now.

I'll be logging on tonight to make a new Horde character on Velen server.

I'm thinking about getting burning crusade just to be a hot rascist elf. I love the blood elf chick's with crazy feathered hair. It's pretty fantastic.
