Congratulations on 5.2! :D

Hey all, Just at 24 twink here. Going to congratulate you all since this is an awesome patch for 24s and F2Ps in my opinion. I love the challenge and knowing how good some F2Ps are, you deserve this.

I may became more active on my F2P feral druid because of this as well.
 
This is stupid, we still won't have 24 gear and enchants. The change will not be that dramatic

Idk, if you look at the forums its been pretty dramatic already :p

We wont know until the servers open back up, but he is right. What the patch notes said is that our "affective levels will be raised to the maximum level of the battleground". Meaning all we are really going to get is a higher chance to hit... woot woot now our 100+ damaging attacks will actually be hitting, while you get 2 shoted by a 24 spriests 700+ mind blast.
 
Thanks Gulbon. :) Interested to see how this will play out. At least I hope I will be able to see, seems as if with 5.2 my operating system will no longer be supported. :/

So far I'm excited to be honest. I've put a lot of work into my F2P feral druid but got ticked off at the heirloom grind and the fact I have to drop, pick up, and drop professions again so I went 24 rogue. Felt bad, but, I'm the type of person that likes fast paced difficulty, not difficult, slow grinding.

To me, I feel 20-24 is better than 19s because of competitive BGs (If you're playing with the right people, probably 10ish good BGs a day), and I actually think 19 is more faceroll than 24, believe it or not.

I'd go 70 instead of 24 but I don't like to the fact that I have to grind all the way to 70 and do raids and stuff.

I'll really enjoy this change if it's as good as I'm thinking about. Would enjoy seeing an EFC having a chance of getting out of the FR before me and my rogue friend burst him/her.
 
24 sub? lol
I appreciate the positveness of the post, it just sounded kind of silly. Most everyone here would prefer people play 20s, no matter what side they are on.

Let's just hope they work out something with crit. A 24 scaled character with 20 stats on gear will destory the stat.

He's going to smash his keyboard in frustration if he's going to play a F2P 20. 24 Rogue/Hpal suits OP.

I put hours into my F2P feral before I stopped playing him as often and didn't get fed up in frustration. I'm not saying this bracket is hard to play in by any means, I just feel it's the most challenging low level bracket next to 39. 19 is just GY farming trash.
 
If this topic is going to turn into an anti-24 war, then whatever. >_> I was just congratulating you guys since you guys finally get a good patch, and I'm sick of seeing the terrible 24s GY farm you guys with no hope of you guys escaping. If this topic gets worse, I won't respond, but still. Grats.

Well maybe in this patch you might enjoy your F2P druid, or some sort of new F2P restricted P2P 20. :) Easy and fast to gear up, and same rewarding gameplay.

Let's wait and see what the patch brings. ^^
 
druid in addition to 5.1 druid
•Balance: Now generates 40 Lunar or Solar energy upon leaving Eclipse
•Guardian: Generates 3 additional Rage per Mangle.
•Wrath damage has been increased by 9%.
•Starfire damage has been increased by 9%.
•Starsurge damage has been increased by 9%.
•Thick Hide now reduces critical strike chance from all types of attacks made against the Guardian Druid, instead of just melee.
•Naturalist: This new passive learned at level 10 by Restoration Druids increases all healing done by the Druid by 10%.
•Rejuvenation now costs approximately 9% less mana
•Displacer Beast has been redesigned. It now triggers Cat Form and grants 50% increased movement speed for 4 seconds after teleporting, and no longer activates Prowl
 
I hate this change - only because I geared my sexy f2p balance druid for hit and cannot get the crit quest pieces. And I'm too lazy to rerooooooooollllll.

If it gets much worse the people making it worse might regret it shortly after. :eek:

I mean, I think you can see where some of their arguments in regards to imbalance and looking for challenges come from. Any animosity is probably not you, just the countless 24 players who've started threads with less sincere feelings in this section. But you have given 20 a try and might switch back to 20, so thanks for sharing your optimism for 5.2. :)

True. This is the type of bracket where I love both sides, F2P and 24. But it's like being a half black half white kid in the 1800s. The white people despise you and the black people despise you, practically.

I really love my F2P. It's not that I get wrecked on him, it's just that once I realized that I'll constantly have to drop professions each patch and when I'm gearing as well for grind for looms and maybe new looms, I got fed up. I still love my feral, don't get that wrong, but I like being a 24 sub rogue since it suits my play style.

It's not directly OP. OP in my eyes = Tons of survivability and damage combined. Rogues don't have that. They're very strong offensively, but squishy defensively, which I love so much in a rogue.

If I fight 3 very good F2Ps, I can usually take 1, and might kill the second one and do damage to the third, I'll probably die while leaving a big hole in the group. I stopped my 24 HPally because I dislike being too OP, but so far, as a 24 Sub, it just makes the game fun because you'll still do a devastating hit to the enemy team, though aren't guaranteed to survive 100% of the time.

I only hop on my Hpally to duel level 50s and sometimes run Moon Guard's F2Ps through dungeons.
