Has anyone gotten anything interesting from the fishing daily? I just did it and got this helm, it seems pretty handy.

Terokkar daily has you take a spirit tower for ~300 honor and 12g, halaa has you kill 10 people for 12g and ~300 honor.

Kind of a let down on the spirit towers, but oh well

Has the functionality of the Spirit Towers been changed? It seems quite counterintuitive to have a quest like that when the Spirit Towers are only cappable once every 8 (?) hours.

Granted it's like Vael in the whole concept of a corrupted dragon, Kalec doesn't necessarily revolve around the same tactics as did Vael.

I know what you two mean, I just should've said that I meant it in the corrupted dragon concept, as far as mechanics go, yeah, c'thun would be a better explanation.

6 hours, and yeah that's why I think it was a huge letdown, seems pretty lame but I guess having it timed like that means you'll have big turnouts when it actually does happen

I take back this comment. Seeing a video of one of Kalecgos attempts made me

If interested, it can be found at mmo-champion forums.

Yea, I think that's from one of the people in the same group I got into earlier on the PTR.

In heroic mode, Kael droped a Swift wight hawkstrider for me.

They don't, as said 5 times already

So thats where the pvp hawkstrider went. Maybe they'll eventually reintroduce the pvp hawkstrider/elekk mounts (and let the hawkstrider be dark color to match the rest of our options).

Aye, it's no gear check in my opinion, more along the lines of a coordination check, on the level of C'Thun for 25 people. It's really well done.

Things I noticed from the few attempts I was able to get in on Kalecgos before the server crashed was that it was too hard to tell if the human form was being healed by damaging the dragon due to the amount of damage he was taking from the demon. Because the server crashed I was unable to go through the combat log to see what was happening but in all honesty it felt like the damage done to the dragon form harmed the human form but like I said this could be attributed to a large damage output by the demon. Also the Arcane Buffet that the dragon casts periodically has a 40 second duration and the time you spend in the shadow area lasts 40 seconds so rotations are obviously needed. It seemed that on the dragon side random debuffs were thrown around, the only 2 I encountered was one that increased spell cast time by 100% and one that increased threat generation by 100%.

Axl_Stukov · 02/10/08, 9:48 PM

What the, Race requirements? I hope that's just an oversight at the moment =/.

Pamine · 02/10/08, 9:49 PM

If it's a dungeon drop, why does it have a restriction horde only?

That particular skin has been in the model files for some time, glad they finally did something with it. Now if only they'd use all the spare elite Raptor skins.

Edit: beaten by previous posters

graver · 02/10/08, 9:52 PM

because Allies will probably have Elekks?

Or Alliance gets an Elekk?

Axl_Stukov · 02/10/08, 9:54 PM

But I want a Chocobo

KamPa · 02/10/08, 9:57 PM

Cross faction mount would be better than just recolored one you could get for rep already. Plus, no Tauren there, they really should've made exception for drop mounts.

Ashen · 02/10/08, 10:09 PM

It could be and probably is a placeholder. Or a mistake. There's no reason to assume that this is the final state of that. I would imagine that it actually is still intended for PvP, or the requirements will be lifted. We know that mounts that can't be guaranteed, and are dropped, are not restrictive to races such as Tauren.
