New kalimdor loadingscreen

These were datamined a few months ago. I guess they only just now got implemented. My comment now is the same as it was then: I don't like how they're mixing several art styles on a single screen.

Generally speaking, if you look at all the World of Warcraft in-game art and box art, it all tends to be very close in style. This makes the game feel very cohesive, like it all belongs together. But on these loading screen they've undone all of that. We have at least 3 different comic book art styles all next to each other and it looks really weird and out of place. It looks like a fan art loading screen. That's not to say fan art looks "bad", but it just makes the screens look unprofessional.

Easy Chessgame in Karazhan [DRUID]

First you need the talent Ysera's Gift and something to lag yourself

1. Place a Darkmoontiger near the warchief
2. Open the warchief window and lag yourself
3. While lagging, click on the button to control the warchief and then on the darkmoontiger
4. If it worked correctly, then your character should be on the darkmoontiger and you can control the warchief.
5. Now just afk or fight, your Ysera's gift talent will heal the warchief.

How to get "easy" 3000g.

Well, i guess you heared about CATA Gold runs. Usually you do 25hc PSA - BOT - Td4w - FL - DS.

Well those give you 3000-4000g. You can find a grp on the LF section in wow. (This is not what the topic is about).

Each boss gives you around 125. And a Boss usually dropps 3000g.

Well in throne of the 4 winds, there are only two bosses and the last boss dropps a chest. What you do, is open the chest at first and you dont loot the gold. Nobody else can loot the gold.

You wait until everybody left the instance and goes to FL. (this happens in 1-2min)

If you're alone in the instance, you will get the entire 3000g. This should also work with some chest in DS.

You basically get 3000-4000g through the run and the option of free 3000g multiple times, depending on group.

Lockouts reset on Draenor, Darkmoon and Argent Dawn

This isn't really an exploit, but I wasn't sure where to post it, feel free to move! Three realms were taken down last night for some extended maintenance after a large amount of people were experiencing problems logging in. Due to this reset they've also broken a great many things for these realms, including the armory.

One thing I've noticed is on these three realms, 80% of raid lockouts have been reset before the weekly reset, which happens tonight. Not sure if they're skipping the weekly maintenance but they've showed no signs of it and as some raid lockouts still exist, I don't think this is intended.

If you're on those realms, go take advantage of the fact most of your lockouts may have reset!

Why Blizzard rocks

I have to say, Blizzard customer support really are pretty spectacular... I admit, I do not deal with them very often, but on the few occasions I have? They have been beyond helpful.

I always make it a point to tell them that whenever I deal with them. I first played WoW in like 2007 or something, partway into Burning Crusade. Since then I've had like 4 times I've had to contact a GM or customer support, and every time they responded fairly quick, were very nice, and got it fixed in one or two back-and-forth messages.

Best way to use elixir of Ancient Knowledge

I went from 57 to 75 with 1 Elixir of Ancient Knowledge today and couldn't find any posts about this method so i figured I'd share.

What you need is an Elixir of Ancient Knowledge and either a second account or a nice friend.
Basically the point is the buff does not drain the time when you logout.

Get your leveling character to the outside of an instance that your friend or 2nd account can pull the entire place in 1 pull, but also near your level.

For example from 57-64 I did ramparts. 67-74 i did utgarde.

Now you either go inside or wait outside until your buddy pulls the entire instance and is standing close enough to the entrance that you will get exp from walking in or logging on.

Then log in and tell him to kill them all, should take like 30 seconds or less to down the group.
Go out of the instance and log out, friend resets, rinse and repeat.

I can explain in more detail if people don't understand or want tips.
