    Re: Plagueworks, Cataclysm Screenshots, Dark Legacy

    Worgen is plural for Worgen
    just as Elk is plural for Elk
    Or Sheep is plural for sheep

    It's irregular when it's plural. I forgot the English term for those plural nouns though.

    Re: Plagueworks, Cataclysm Screenshots, Dark Legacy

    I've got a question, I got conflicting answer for a lot of different peoples! Is the Festergut's Acidic Blood and Rotface's Acidic Blood a 100% drop rate for the peoples that are on the quest or is it a rare drop?

    Peoples told me it drops like the Head of the Broodlord Lashlayer, and others told me it's just a rare drop chance! Any idea?

    The drop rate is 100%. The real question isn't if its a rare drop rate or not, the real question is if multiple people can loot the quest item given that they have the quest.

I am using the badges on my main and DK for set pieces and used a third char to gather enough badges for 5 Saronite. I had 2 weeks off work for the holidays so the timing was quite nice. Now I'm back to only playing 2 chars.
    My DK is actually getting the shards from our alt run, so I've spent 38k on a legendary. Big deal, what else should use the gold on?

    If you actually know you're getting shards that's a little different. 38k would make a hell of a lot less sense if you were doing it for shadows edge and an off chance at completing the shards at some point in the future.

    Then again, I'm still a little bitter about Val'anyr. I (holy pally) was first in line and then had to take a short notice business trip our first week in Ulduar where four shards dropped. With the alternate having a four shard lead the other officers decided he'd get the first one. I started getting them after, but I was at 16 shards when TOC came out and I'm up to 24 now, but now it's hardly even worth trying to get together Uld 25 runs, Trauma would be a fine upgrade at this point.

    And while it is not surprising at all it is - at least at this point - interesting enough to think about it and have a discussion though I would recommend to have that in a separate topic if enough people want to discuss it.
    The Cataclysm trailer says something like "An ancient ally resurfaces to bring the savage Worgen into the Alliance." Of course it's only singular and only one Worgen will join the Alliance, right?

    So in Wrath, they added the new dynamic shadows. In Cataclysm, the new water graphics. What about the atmosphere/sky box? Still the same ugly one since beta in the old world. It would be nice to see clouds that looked like clouds, and not these giant patchy pixels flickering here and there.

    Worg seems to be interchangeable with wolf and-en may well mean man in Common; I don't pretend to know the first thing about how Common actually looks but I'm fairly certain that is what it means. It is probably just coincidence but I always assumed that as tauren and worgen end in -en it denoted being humanoid, so effectively the same as were-.

    I think my comparison was pretty valid really, perhaps not fantastic but far from bad.

    Re: Plagueworks, Cataclysm Screenshots, Dark Legacy

    Erm, just a little detail but... Shouldn't the pictures have the label "Worgen" instead of "Worgens"? I'm pretty sure the word is the same in multiple form as it is in singular. If you look at wowwiki, first two sentences of the describtion clearly reinforces my statement.

    "Worgen are large, lupine humanoids reminiscent of a werewolf that walks upright, but lopes on all fours to run. According to sources held by the Forsaken, the worgen come from another dimension, and exist only to terrorize and destroy[...]"

    Yet a bit furhter down the page:

    "The worgen hail from a dark and treacherous world, from which there is no corner which is truly safe. There, the worgen battle their unflinching enemy in a vicious war[...]"

    Thus, i dont think the word "Worgens" really exist

    source:

    http://www.wowwiki.com/Worgen

    Edit: Lol didnt read the whole page and apparently there are loads of replies claiming the same thing as i did ^^

    Re: Plagueworks, Cataclysm Screenshots, Dark Legacy

    Is the un-accessable troll outpost in darkshore becoming horde base?

    Edit:
    Looking at http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/...s/desolace.jpg id say about hundred years passed between WotLK and the Cataclysm...

    Yet another edit:
    The Orc with the tattoos is AWESOME.
    I think somebody said something about druidic magic replenishing alot of places. Also I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned Cataclysm technically starts during the fight against Arthas. Not exactly sure about either of those, but that would explain that. I'd hate to log on for the first time in 4.0 only to see all my characters are old farts :P
