You killed Mr. Bigglesworth. :(

Also, is that the new raid targetting graphical feature in the default UI now (the things over their heads)? I've been looking forward to that.

I've never been to Kel'Thuzad, but the key to killing him has to be to keep Mr. Bigglesworth alive.

We kept ourselves endlessly entertained by putting the Skull on our resident warlock lemming. That and getting absolutely butchered by Deathknights on our level 1s (consider yourself lucky if your Test Char page even works in the US, such luxury the EU servers do not even get).

I zoned into Naxx and it is huge.

You start in a center platform surrounded by doors and entrances to the wings. You can look down upon the eastern plaguelands through a few small windows. It is a pretty cool experience.

Someone go speak to bronzebeard, see if he has anything new to say:<

I'd do it myself but i fear RSI from refreshing the character creation page over and over and over and over and over and over etc.

Uhm, if I recall correctly, the last thing you see of Brann Bronzebeard is that note in silithus which says that he's heading into Ahn'Qiraj. If that's true, then the part he stole from kel'thuzad is probably in C'thuns loot table after the patch.

After talking to Elf McFaggot in Naxx, my conclusion was that you need two end-boss drops off Kel'thuzad and C'thun respectively (probably higher droprate than bindings), and 40 drops off some of the Naxx bosses. Essentially, you need to meet two requirements: 1. Having killed both endbosses. 2. Having farmed Naxx for a while -- in order to get your legendary. Compared to the TF requirement of killing Geddon and having luck, this seems to reward the consistent überguilds more, which is what Blizzard (hopefully) were going for.

I personally think you will need a drop from C'thun and one from Kel'thuzad (both with poor droprate) and when you have both all the other pieces become 100% droprate off the other bosses.

If not, then this will be a DKP nightmare.

Not really, just decide who gets the staff first, then charge them on completion of the staff. You shouldn't have to charge someone for carrying a benign item that offers zero benefit.

I think the 40 pieces from the underlings should not stack. At all.

Well, for guilds wanting world firsts, being in eu and unable to copy chars with all the extras etc they have, and not to mention, the fact that it hasnt been up for more then 10 seconds in a row so far, is kind of a disadvantage. Also, having devs actually there watchin and taking feedback would be quite a lot better then having a grand total of 2 posts on their forums from devs ever, and 0 visits on ptr.

In the foyer for Naxx, there's a critter mob - cat, named Mr. Bigglesworth.

Yeah, Vitality appears to be broken right now. I respecced and upon seeing my HP unchanged, I dumped points into Shield Specialization, Toughness, and Defiance. Upon placing my last point into Defiance, Vitality immediately lit up with a full 5 points already placed into it. I still had 36 points remaining to distribute and I saw no increase to my HP at all.

I'm not sure this is even in the PTR, but since I can't get on it, I thought I'd ask here.

I saw this on http://www.curse-gaming.com/en/wow/news.html

The Naxxramas Attunment has been officialy announced. This is not 30 Gold as we the rumours said. At Honored with Argent Dawn you have to give 60 Gold, 1 Righteous Orb, 2 Nexus Crystals and 5 Arcane Crystals. If you are Revered it is only 30 Gold, 1 Arcane Crystal and 2 Nexus. At Exalted the Attunment is free.

Can anyone confirm that?

I'm a little concerned as that is an absurd amount to pay for attunement.

edit:

Revered cost is confirmed via WoW forums...take that for what it's worth.

Is there some secret to copying a pre-made character that I'm missing? The page either doesn't load at all, or loads completely blank for me.

A) You need money sinks in the game to preserve the economy and keep it from becoming inflated like EQ where plat basically became worthless. This is relatively minor if you have a guild bank.

B ) Would you prefer a completely open instance where every retard and their mom zoned in, causing severe lag and instability, ruining your first couple weeks in Naxxramas? Or perhaps a long, pointless quest that had you collecting 10 different pieces of an amulet that were rare drops from rare spawns that had to be done for every single person in your guild? Or maybe you'd prefer collecting millions of trivial crafting materials? I'll pay my 30g and turn in my crystals, thanks.

Gee thanks, I didn't realize there was an economy in this game. An economy that is going to have thousand upon thousands of gold going to farmers as the prices of these mats will rocket to insane levels once word of this gets around.

On my server, Horde side, there are 5 guilds in BWL, 1 in AQ full time and 1 part time...1 guild that kills Nef, 1 that's gotten beyond the bug trio in AQ. I'm not really concerned about everyone and their whatevers going into Nax. And I doubt it will be players ruining my first couple weeks in Nax, I'm sure Blizzard is going to take care of that pretty well with all the bugs and such that I'm sure will be there on live.

A lot of people in my guild have switched mains due to needing specific classes along the way and a lot of them went from 60 into MC and so forth. A lot aren't even honored. It just seems a little much for the honored attunement. And besides, the only reason I came here is to see if anyone could confirm that you needed those materials, and not get into a debate about who can be more elitist. Thanks

Getting from Honored to Revered will take you a week of casual farming in Scholomance. Tops.

Those are the materials you need, and there's nothing remotely wrong with that.
