I've played the game since launch, ran Stratholme more times than I can count and spent plenty of time in ZG. I've seen maybe 6 ZG mounts and 2-3 Deathchargers across 2 realms. I've never seen either drop personally.
Maybe we will get the horsey off the first Kara boss (reins of some yahoo or something) It has a much better drop rate. Not amazing...but still better.
7 in a thousand for Attumen's Steed. Also, I was off by a touch for Deathcharger, apparently the drop rate on that got a pretty big bump, 1 in a 100 for that. ZG mounts are 9 in a thousand for the raptor, 7 in a thousand for the tiger.
"So you're saying there's a chance?!?"
haha LOVE IT!
Pretty sure he had a better chance in that movie
Well, are we rolling tonight?
Are all the BC instances going to be completely devoid of any difficulty?
Probably.
If we tried the heroic versions at 70 it might be a different story, but just as vanilla instances were designed with vanilla mechanics in mind, BC instances were designed for BC mechanics. Things just work differently now than they did then, and in ways that somewhat trivialize older content that isn't meant for a LOT more players. (Remember, our only real challenges so far have been from 5 manning a 15 man instance, and from 6-8 manning a 20 man instance.) On top of that, the leveling versions of instances (as opposed to the heroic versions that were balanced for max level characters gearing up) are already tuned a bit down to allow for people of various levels, gear sets, and knowledge of their classes to have some measure of success when attempting a run.
That said, assuming we go with just 70s, Kara and especially ZA should still be a fun challenge.
I am going to try to be there tonight. Is say try, only because I am beyond Hung over today. I feel really crappy and am totally paying for my fun last night. It has been a long day at work because our new GM started today and we had a big meet and greet lunch thing.
Morale of the story is... I plan on being there...but if i get home and accidently fall asleep, I may never wake up....EVER!
I'm around and bored. Pally's at 65. I'd prefer to be retribution, but I can fake protection if necessary.
Sorry all, but with the mother in law staying in my computer/guess room, and getting a lovely case of bronchitis, I won't be on tonight:(
ZeroKFE- let me know if you think I should start shooting for more STA. I've been, mostly, avoiding pure STA items because I'm addicted to the sound of a dodge. Keep me posted on my yo-yoing as we (hopefully) start to ramp up in difficulty, so I can start adding more STA before we get to a fight where I just don't have enough. Though I don't really see that happening any time soon.
Nah, you're doing fine for now. I'll definitely let you know though.
So what's the goal for next Monday? No guarantee I can be on, mother in law is in town till Tuesday.
Nice, I do not fully remember the world boss either, or if he is still in the game. We did not do world bosses very often because in vanilla ally was way over populated and farmed and camped all those things. Damn paladin's....we just get shaman...wth.
Yeah, I am freshly 65... literally 105 xp into 65. I am not going to play till next monday, I have Starcraft 2 campaign to play.
No-Mana Tombs can ESAD.
Thanks for joining us Dee. Give me a shout if you need a hand testing Vent.
Could still use it. I tried two different microphones, and nothing. I guess that's one of the (many) drawbacks of a Mac Mini. Next time, I'll drop the major dough on a real mac, or just stick with PC.
65 is the goal.
I'm 66 already, and the hubby's trying to rush me into Wrath material.
Someone get Cheeto some Gatorade and Advil.
It would be so awesome if you guys had toons named Cheeto, Gatorade and Advil, for that is how I read that post.
Glad to see the Monday night gang still rockin' hard.

I tanked most every instance in BC save the ones in Netherstorm, never had an issue with health unless the healer was bad, which I imagine is not an issue for you. Northrend, well, that's looking like a different story.
65... i am still getting excited for 70 when we can do Kara. Soon my friends.... Soon!
I'm still about three or four bubbles from 65 -- my hunter had a busy weekend -- but it shouldn't take long at all to bust through that so we can hit some higher level dungeons. I may actually have to do a bit of questing for reward gear after tonight though, since my gear just hasn't been keeping up with my level from dungeon drops.
I'm 64/halfway to 65 though doubt I'll be on tonight, mother in law's last night visiting.
You guys think we'll be ready for a raid by 8/16, or should I push it off an extra week?
If you are anxious to get it going soon, we definitely could be. Might be a bit less stressful to wait until the 23rd though.
Sorry about not being around last night, the mother in law has flown home so get my computer room back now;)
I am excited to get to the stuff as well, but we probably so not want to be stressed out on leveling. I would say go for the 23rd and if we happend to get to it before that, then its nothing but a bonus
