Drag it to a hot bar key and press it for your training window. You'll want to train the best Growl you can, since it's the taunt that will hold the aggro for you.

Thanks, I never would have found that.

I am currently playing an alliance shaman. This is the first alliance guy I have ever played....

I am enjoying not having to worry about leveling and avoiding pvp play. I HATED just trying to quest and having some guy just come up and kill me(espec when he did not get any honor).

I never enjoyed pvp at all, even killing the other guys. So I am going to stick with windrunner for a while.. my alliance guy is named trysomytuone and is currently in the low teens.

My hunter on the same server(horde) is Moonkey, but I have not played him much yet..

What were you using before? I am using a 6600GT and am getting around 30-40fps with settings maxed.

I was using the one that came with the Gateway PC

. Intel graphics accelerator?..

I do know getting that card made a huge difference.

I reopened My account last night...and woah...I was not well before I shook the addiction. After deleting one character I have these toons left on Rexxar...

Corleone LvL 70 NE Hunter
BighornX Lvl 63 Hu Paladin
Spartikus LvL 48 Dr Warrior
Creede LVL 17 Dr Shaman
Zorba LVL 14 NE Druid
Ferragamo LVL 4 Dw Warrior/ Mule

I heard they were working on a new expansion so no time like the present to dive back in.

You might ask yourself what would cause someone to bump this thread.

I present to you Mr. T and Shatner

I actually saw the Mr. T one this afternoon...pretty funny

I actually thought it was another commercial pimping a product using WoW...like Toyota did.

Hilarious:) Mr. T's was funnier IMO but Shatner's wasn't bad either.

For some reason my account is now "blocked". Perhaps cause I have not logged in in a long time. Had to send an e-mail asking about it.

TCrouch · Post by **TCrouch** » Mon May 19, 2008 4:52 pm

Well, I was playing for a while, but then the guild I was in kind of fell apart.

But now the Age of Conan beta has been my thing for the past month, and it officially releases tomorrow. I don't think I can ever go back to a standard combat model in an MMO again...

Pah - doesn't hold a candle to Eve Online, where every day is 'kill or be killed' day. Not nearly as pretty as LOTRO either, beats me why people are still playing it.

TCrouch · Post by **TCrouch** » Mon May 19, 2008 5:55 pm

Yeah, EVE just wasn't my cup of tea. I'm not out to get ganked randomly.

James_E · Post by **James_E** » Wed May 21, 2008 12:49 pm

Well, instead of WoW I'm giving Age of Conan a try. I'm having an issue getting my WoW account reactivated (some sort of tampering apparently occurred.)

Picked it up last night, was a bit worried about my system requirements (I'm BELOW the minimum on CPU but meet "recommended" for everything else) as I'm using an Acer Aspire 5920G laptop with Windows Vista.

Installed, patched... log in to play and... it's great! Runs fine with "Medium" settings, 1280x800, as long as I turn shadows and grass off. Surfing the web I see there are more optimizations I can do as well. Right now in the starting area up to and including the first town I'm getting generally 25-30fps and it's smooth.

Terry I saw your character's info in your post at OS, I'll create a toon on your server and look you up.

FYI: The Acer Aspire 5920G is a nice laptop for games. Runs COD4 pretty well, and now throwing AoC at it and having it handle it is a nice surprise.

One thing that blew me away about AoC: the box says it needs 32GB (yes GB) of disk space.

Very cool! I went from 1-18 last night, so the levels fly by compared to most MMO's you're probably used to. Glad to hear it plays well. It's a fantastic game that definitely gets better as you go. The early levels are pretty mundane since you don't have many combos or anything else...just basic directional attacks, but I love the thought process of choosing where to attack...left swing, right swing, thrust, etc. Then, when you get combos, it really opens up. Hammer away on the left side in order to use your combos on the right, etc. Great, great game.

The game makes its triumphant return with a new expansion on my new PC next week on the 13th. Yes. Just one week.

Installed WoW and Burning Crusade to get back into the game. Took forever...At least 2-3 hours.

Anyone else going to be picking it up?

Life I can neglect. It's the other games being neglected which helped me kick the habit the first time.

Lock. This. Thread.
