A month of games on Tuesday evenings prompted 29s to expand to Sunday evenings for the second month. Steady growth continues, so update your 29 and get on the field! The 29 BiS Gear List and 29 forums both at TwinkInfo and in the official WoW forums feature a lot of great information.
Games on Sundays/Tuesdays starting 9pm EST/6pm PST!
Players complained nonstop about hunters, rogues, grandfathered gear, comps, and everything else. Does that still go on?
Complaints simmered down to an average level for an XP-off bracket. While you'll see complaints here and there, the majority of 29s caught up to the present day and want to play, battling in some pretty intense games. Neither faction has consistently gained the upper hand in the last couple of months, with many games ending as 0-point or 1-point wins.
How much of an impact does grandfathered gear have?
The difference between a grandfathered fully geared toon and a fresh fully geared toon amounts to about the same stats as a Rumsey Rum and two elixirs. Given that more than half the bracket doesn't use consumable buffs, it's not a big difference. Two exceptions: Skullbreaker (for the enchant it can take) and Nailsplitter, weapons from the same grandfathered quest, hit hardest in the bracket. That said, they haven't broken games.
Do 29s do arenas?
Via RealID groups, 29s do arenas now and then. Many 29s play on Windrunner and Dragonmaw. Using a common server makes it easier to get arenas going.
Don't hunters and rogues dominate 29s?
And ret pallies. Mages can hit pretty hard, too. Point being, yes, some classes certainly bring more power than others. However, when a warlock can walk on the field and turn a game around with CCs and debuffs, it's less about the class and more about the player, and especially about a team's coordination.
How do I get involved?
Use the resources listed at the top, read up on gear and class options for your favorite class, and shout out in the forums for help if you want it! On Tuesday, April 24th, 29s had over 30 people in queue during the peak of the evening. Join the mayhem!
