Missing the Memo

(can you take the flag before the gates are down?)

Nope, you cant capture the keep till at least one gate is down. If its a good tactic or not? No idea... I tend to stay as far away from Isle of Conquest as I can.

I missed memo on Timbermaw. When did they boosted reputation gain so freaking much? 2000 reputation for 5 feathers. I now have quite many extra feathers sitting on my bank...

I had no idea MC doesn't require a raid group anymore.

[KysenMurrin]

It's a bit odd, really. The actual raid portal in the back of BRD does still require you to be in a raid group, but the quick port in from attunement doesn't.

Same thing applies to BWL as well. No need for raid group to enter, even though sadly you need at least one more for the first boss.

Seems like you NEED to login to facebook if you want to use Spotify... Even if you dont want it linked... Time to find an alternative to Spotify then, anyone got suggestions?

[Fenrìr]

so yea...totally missed the memo that you get guarenteed volatiles by being in specific zones. IE: Uldum = air.

When did they fix it so you don't have to dismount and remount after learning a new level of riding to get the speed to update?

Probably the same patch when they did the same thing for Thorium Brotherhood. Think it was around 4.2ish

[Skye1013]

Pretty sure it was earlier than that, because I'm almost positive I capped my Thorium Brotherhood during LK Pilgrim's Bounty (whatever the hell that holiday is called.) I remember getting the bonus rep from being human + the holiday boost. Was fun.

Didn't finish Timbermaw until June of last year though, so can't comment if that was boosted earlier.

[Fetzie]

Boosted my timbermaw from neutral to exalted with about ten quests and 40 winterspring beads.

Killing Drek with no towers down in Alterac Valley is so easy. Yes, I knew theoretically it was possible but assumed in practice it would be too risky a strategy for a PUG. However, last night, somehow people were persuaded (against my objection) to try it. I off tanked most of the lieutenants; another tank took Drek. It was effortless.

We killed Galv first, but my understanding is that - unlike the towers - that does not affect how tough Drek is or does it?

Alliance scum...

It's my understanding that killing Galv/Balinda is to prevent various NPCs from respawning (the archers defending the towers?) I'm not 100% sure that's true, but that's what I've been led to believe. Also, it reduces the opposing factions resources.

Edit: A quick google search kills this theory. WoWwiki says killing Galv/Balinda prevents the 2 minute 20% HP buff that would be cast every 10 minutes.
