Here are some of the things that really steam our biscuits if we think about them long enough.
Our guild has all the tabs it can buy in the guild bank. But we could start a 2nd guild, buy all those tabs, and shuttle stuff between them via bank mules, effectively doubling our guild bank space. Yet, after three years of playtime and Elune-knows how many years of development, Blizz STILL won’t lift the decree that states that Hunters can only have three pets.
Llama is still banned. He’s leveled his new hunter to 65 – probably higher – since the ban went into effect. C’mon Blizz, that’s two strikes now.
We wiped our raid last night. In a spot we know we’ve wiped them before, and we know how to do the pull, yet we honked it up anway. We did it properly the 2nd try, but it was said that a “BRK Hunter Guide Movie to Wiping a Raid” should be produced. And it’s not a bad idea.
Someone quit our guild to join a more-further advance raiding guild because they wanted to see end-game content before WotLK came out and we weren’t progressing fast enough. Last night, we noticed his new guild was in Black Temple. We also noticed that he was not. On Monday, Aetherial Circle is going to starting our initial foray into Black Temple. While we don’t have any ill-feelings towards the guy… we’re not sayin’, we’re just sayin’.
Al’ar dropped our hunter token last night. And we won it. And it’s pure junk. Our token-karma is the worst ever.
Pet “+Hit Rating” food. Hello?!
Shot-rotation macros that include Multi Shot. You wanna ban something, Blizz? Well here’s your chance. Any hunter that breaks crowd-controls or busts tanking assignments because they don’t know when to switch macros needs a ban-hammer. Well, maybe that’s a bit strong. But STILL…
The next hero class should be Ninja. And it won’t be. Gnome Ninja; who wouldn’t do that? DPS for the little-guy. Melee cloth-wearer FTW. It’ll probably be Ranger, which is cool, but all we hunters really want is a wider variety of ranged weapons and a couple d@mn more stable slots, not a funky name.
Wintersaber Trainer rep still stinks when you have a fixed number of hours per week to play, and they’re allotted already.
The best scope recipe drops from Attumen, the first boss in Karazhan. 285 bosses after that, nothing. Engineering needs a scope-buff, pronto.
Ditto guns.
And our BRK Banana Clip idea has yielded no results, either. A BRK Banana Clip is an engineering device that is like an ammo pouch but only holds, say, 50 rounds. But on the plus side, it gives a healthy Haste rating buff. Only four BRK Banana Clips can be carried or equipped at a time and they cannot be reloaded, as engineers use shoddy manufacturing techniques. BRK Banana Clips would give engineers a “consumable” they could sell that people would actually want. Nada from Blizz on this brilliant idea.
Fel Reavers are immune to Concussive Shot and Snake Trap slowing effects. Just ruins all our Hellfire Peninsula-fun, it does.
Misdirect only works on party/raid members. Pure and utter cr@p. Seriously. We’re not saying we should be able to MD on the opposing faction… OK we are. But if we can’t have that, at least let us MD on the night elfs who try to steal our skinning targets.
The best raiding gun we had pre-BC at level 60 was the Core Marksman Rifle. It does 45.4 DPS. Now we have Tuskbreaker, which does 86.4DPS. Does this mean that when WotLK comes out, we’ll have access to a 160DPS ranged weapon? We could one-shot heroic Shattered Halls with that thing. People are out there one-manning Onyxia; when will it all end?

adamantite arrow/shell machines should have their eng requirement lifted as well. what a great money maker for engineers, right?
foooooo shizzle
Re: Bank Tabs
I have 3 bank alts with guild banks with 2 tabs each (more gold efficient) all because our actual guild bank with all 4 tabs didn’t hold enough stuff. I am a bit of a pack rat, but I’d like Blizz to just let me use, say, Carbonite to store all of my stuff.
Love the banana clip idea! Maybe a “Make you Quiver” too!
it is quite depressing
Didn’t they make it so multishot no longer hits CCed mobs?
They reverted it tehkrons , swipe still hits cc’ed mobs as well. Mages who wait till 4 mobs are beating on the tank and then sheep one expecting me to magically not break the sheep make me cry.
We went into Bt with the casuals this week and wiped on the pull before Najentus again! twice. We plan to kill illidan and yet wipe on bt trash:(
Thori’dal, the legendary bow that drops off of Kil’Jaeden, has 162 dps.
@ Anonymous - Correct me if I’m wrong, but I do believe that’s to make up for the lack of DPS you’d get from bullets/arrows since it makes its own. Thus, its white DPS has to be very high to make up for it.
@ BRK - /comfort. Seriously though, more stable slots is all I’m askin’ for. C’mon Blizz. Don’t make me release one of my three sweeties just to train new skills in WotLK. I will cry. =(
I like the +hit scope that drops back in the pre-BC world. I have begged and pleaded for a guildie group to go back there until it drops, so some engineer (mine hopefully) can get the recipe. No go yet. As it is I am at the mercy of the few engineers on the server who got it, and are still around.
Ahh BRK…. you say “BRK Banana Clips would give engineers a “consumable” they could sell that people would actually want.”
You forget INJECTORS! Us healy types who chain chug mana pots in SSC love mana potion injectors. I even bought a healing potion injector recipe for my best hunter friend so he could make them for me! He gets a good amount of requests from guildies for them.
Your idea is cool too but don’t forget the injectors!
You totally need to be able to tape two banana clips together, one upside down, like all the ‘cool kids’ for double the ammo and lower reload time! =P
@Kunukia
Yeah I’d really like the +30 hit Biznicks scope too. The Lava Cores are as hard to come by as the plans. Not a whole bunch of guilds farming Ragnaros anymore.
My one request of Bliz….
If they had to make the badge bow look like it was designed by a demented florist…and apparently they felt that need….
at least have it say a really loud FEED ME when its owner runs out of arrows.
You could not measure my disappointment when I heard about Misdirection in the mid-60s followed by learning that it only worked on party members. It would be overpowered, wouldn’t it? Like an instant cast Scare Beast would be overpowered, forget it, it would be overpowered. And yet when I’m playing my warlock and a rogue turns up I might as well stand still and let them kill me. Anything that seems like it might be too much should be compared to Cloak of Shadows.
Epic Dolls suggested socketable pet collars a while back, I’d like to see that.
At least my old suggestion seems to go through - Fury warriors dual wielding 2 Handers YAY !
I like your BRK banana clip, but why stop at haste? Load a clip of goblin hi-ex to synergise with improved scorch/curse of the elements! Though those rounds are pretty unstable, so you might want to stop those hunters jumping all over the place.
ok so the ammo makers have no eng req.
/embarassed
That “FEED ME” on the so-called choco-bow (credits to Pike of AotHare) should definitely be done in the voice of the plant in Little Shop of Horrors. Am I right or am I right?
@Vulpinor
You are absolutely right, V!
I think rogues should be able to steal from the banks in the major cities… and I think Leather workers should be able to sell armor repair patches….
one thing that would be nice is to add some enginner BoP guns and Crossbows. Every other profession has their BoP recipes, which are the main reason one gets it. Ok, enginners has lots of gizmos and stuff, but they aren´t that good IMO, for me to drop my gathering professions.
when i read the name “BRK banana clip”, i instantly imagined a trap like gizmo, that would cause the mob/player to fall down (knockback). It could be fun.
about guild banks, i totally agree with BRK, we need more space to stock itens. I created my own guild for my bank toon. So, i can have My own guild bank and my toon bank. It is working for me for now.
I ran into the pet problem last night. I wanted to go tame one of the “Druid Birds.” I only wanted to play with him though. So here I am standing at the stable trying to pick which pet is going to go.
Let’s take a look shall we?
Shadow - Humar Skin - had him since lvl 21ish I think .. either way I was just high enough to tame him and carried him until I was 61 when I got:
Sapphire - Shy-Rotam - This bastard fears and is a pita to tame. Spent two hours getting laughed at while I tried to figure out how to tame him. - Raid with him
Eragon - Cobalt Wind Serpent Skin - He is more of a toy as he is WAY too fragile to raid with, but his DPS is huge and he’s a lot of fun for PvP as people generally don’t know what to do with him.
I ended up not taming another pet as I don’t have one I can give up. Come on Blizz!! I would even pay 500g for another spot so I can play with another pet from time to time. Bah
“And yet when I’m playing my warlock and a rogue turns up I might as well stand still and let them kill me. Anything that seems like it might be too much should be compared to Cloak of Shadows.”
It warms my heart to see a warlock crying about class balance.
=)
“Llama is still banned.”
Just because you don’t think he cheated does not mean he was not a botter. Cheaters should be banned.
Need to get somthing of your chest there BrK?
/Soothe
Senora - Hive - Shadowsong EU
Next Hero Class, Witch Dcotor. Druid/Shaman mix with disease bases damage and mind control CC abilities.
NEXT CLASS :
How about : BARD
talents
Rock - Major eartch damage and protection spells (Party benefits double when drunk)
Classical - Bring out the wind instruments for heals and protection.
Folk - Summons mythical creatures at various levels to assist in combat.
WOTLK mostly likely won’t be out until October or November. That gives you plenty of time to at least see all the end content.
Next hero class will be Archdruid, foshizzle.

I know this is not the proper place to put this, but there are two screen shot of the Running of Dal Bulls for Sharvan that made WOW’s official web site screen shot of the day. Just thought I would FYI
@ BRK: I’ve always wanted Engys to get even like 50% of the gold made off their own repair bots…it’s a PITA to make them, we may as well get something from them.
@ David: Stuff it. No one wants your vitriol here.
@Engineer, 50% is way too much, my gosh that would be a huge amount of gold from a 25 man raid, 10 or 20% more likely, and yes, I have a level 70 engineer who can make ‘em.
or at least have it pay off your own repairs …..
“@ David: Stuff it. No one wants your vitriol here.”
How is that vitriol? David’s right. Cheaters deserve to be banned, pure and simple.
Was Llama a cheater? Blizzard seems to think so. And while BRK might not think so, that doesn’t mean he still didn’t do it. If the appeal never goes through, it may be time to come to terms with the fact he did something illegal.
But really, vitriol? Get over yourself.
Even saying we have three pet slots is overstating it. When WotLK comes out and we have all those new pet skills to learn and train, guess what? One of those pets has got to go so you can tame the pets to get the new skills.
So really it’s only 2 permanent pets!
COME ON BLIZZ! GIVE US SOME PET SLOTS!
FYI there is a new skill in the Beastmaster Spec (Talent skill 51)
By training this skill - it allows you to have 1 additional pet slot in the stable and rank 2 of 2 : Allows 3 additional slots.
Pure BM only..
I think it’s called The Beastial Arc or something like that.
“Vitriol: venomous language used to express bitter deep-seated ill will”
Pretty much exactly describes what David did. (Also no mention of veracity-which I did not question.) I don’t think anyone here would disagree that cheaters should be banned. But there was no reason for David to bring it up in such a fashion, especially since it’s clearly a friend of BRK.
So please, don’t tell ME to get over myself.
@ Thori’dal -
That is the third or fourth different 51-BM-talent I’ve seen since the leaks started coming, I’m not trusting anything yet.
