Wtf?

AMD GPU: Radeon HD 4850 increased to Radeon HD 5670

In DX9 mode, which is still available in WoW, the 4850 is faster than the 5670. What is Blizzard smoking?

I'll end up getting the boxed collectors edition, Playing to max level then quitting until the next expansion ^_^

Hope they have some graphical upgrades coming with this.

I have Mists of Pandaria collectors edition I don't know if I will play anymore My mage Tolemac has 341 days played on him so I think i've played the game to death If I do i'll realm change but won't pay for a character transfer like I did before. I will just make another Character on a different realm as I can access my heirlooms through the interface now.

The AMD HD4xxx series is too old to post in a system requirement for a game now as AMD don't even provide Legacy drivers for them anymore and you have to settle with whatever Windows can find for your card. So if the 5670 can run the game as a minimum it makes perfect sense as it still has legacy driver support (for a little while anyway).

After the crap they pulled with WOD I'm not touching it untill they bring out 7.2 or more and see what content they have, no garrison table or crystal gathering

 

[Tolemac]

I just don't like the player base anymore and tbh its not challenging as it used to be even in Cata it took me 6 months of raiding to get my 4 set of timelords robes "mage" its just too easy to gear up

Do WOD you don't even need to leave the garrison to get gear

 

[Tolemac]

Done it fella I have no plans to go back to Azeroth atm. I was told at the end of cata that a lot of the good players are leaving because Blizzard have made the game too easy and I agree with that. Sometimes I was on the guilds TS for 10-12 hours back in cata. I won't buy legion methinks and lets not forget the movie is out in June that's about as far as i'm going with world of warcraft this year. Although its tempting to try my new Naga and monitor out on it.

 

[Greenback]

they stopped releasing subscription figures they were dropping so fast.

A good MMO mouse is great I had the naga but found it to small for my hand so got the G600, can virtually play wow 1 handed with it. If you want to try it out just create a trial account and get to level 20 it doesn't take long

 

[Tolemac]

I'm sure blizzard will give me a weeks free time at some point I stopped in January. I have had 3 nagas the original, the 2012 and now I have the 2014. my only gripe with the 2014 is the way they have placed the thumb grid.

[Greenback]

You lasted longer than me, I left before shipyards came in. Wasn't the 2014 naga the one they copied the G600 and angled the thumb buttons

 

[Tolemac]

I think so the thumbgrid has mechanical buttons and it's placed further forward than my old 2012
