There's actual quests for the new race/class combos fluff? I've seen the HighElf awaiting an audience w Tyrande in the Temple of Elune, but didn't notice any quests.. where would one start these?
@Kats
Here's how this works and hence what you saw; Greed and DE are rolled at the same time. Functionally, rolling DE is saying "I'm rolling greed, but give me the loot as a Disenchanted mat". So, the person that selected DE won the Greed roll, and got DE mats. If you'd won the greed roll, you would have gotten the item. You don't have to (and shouldn't) roll Need on Offspec items to beat DE, you just need to win the Greed roll.
My priest has been Holy/Disc and healing since I rolled him at v1.4 as my first char. I had a regular group that I was playing with that eventually broke up at about lvl 40. I wound up rolling alts and playing with a new group until they caught up to my priest, and he's now healed his way to 67. In BGs I'm usually in the top 3 for healing cause apparently the only other people healing are a RetPally healing himself and a tree somewhere.
If you're going to be a Healer, Heal as soon as you can, as often as you can, and work the situation so that you can keep your skills as a healer. Waiting till your at raiding to learn Healing is like waiting to learn tanking. You need to practice it as you gain abilities and work them into your playstyle so that when you go into raiding, you already have experience with your abilities and what's expected of you.

Just like you don't go raiding undergeared, don't start under-experienced.
I use a Thumb-ball, which doesn't move around the desk, so mousepads are just decorative cushions. For FPS games, where pixel precision is important, gaming mice make sense. For MMOs, where targeting involves selecting a healthbar, portrait, or sillhuette, pixel precision isn't as important as long term comfort.
I just wish Logitech would refresh their thumbball line w 5-buttons. The only 5-button thumbball out there is the discontinued MicroSoft optical trackball, and mine is starting to show it's age.
I want a reason for open world faction raids again. Battlegrounds are cool and all, but raids on Crossroads and SouthShore will always be more memorable.
One of the flaws with WoWs model is there's no tools for us to spontaneously create our own events.
Imagine being able to post a challenge in-game to a rival guild, either faction, to a custom BG or open world scenario. Give us open ended tools like that, and we'll be entertained for far longer than any finite-content dungeon or repeatable BG.
Because of the BattleNet overhaul, and how the new services will work, you will need to be able to log into your BNet acct to play. This doesn't mean you won't be able to play agains your buds in the same room, it just means they'll all need BNet accounts with a SC2 license.
It's sort of like Steam, or XBox Live.
The tradeoff is things like the new BNet friends/chat client across games and servers and acheivements.
Now, if Blizzz is smart, they'll take a page from the orignal SC 'spawn' copies. Friend buys SC2, you install it and create a BNet acct, and the two of you can play against each other via BNet, but you can't play anyone else till you get your own license.

Anaheim was 2 hours away.
And I swore a blood oath to never set foot in Vegas..
Damn you Blizzard!! You're the one force in the 'verse strong enough to make me consider traveling to our modern day Testament to Conspicuous Consumption!

wonder how much the tickets will be and what's in the swag bag....
I have no mouth and I must emote.
Make a man a fire, and you keep hime warm for a night. But set a man on fire, and you keep him warm for the rest of his life.
Do not read this comment, it makes no sense.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation.
