Just a heads up, but the Battle.net Client goes into open beta today. For those that don't know, it's an all-in-one launcher that feels a lot like Steam, giving news on each game franchise, auto-updating games, and in the near future will allow chat outside of the games with all Battle.net Friends.

Even if the lineup is obviously not robust (being only Blizzard's three main franchises), it sure beats having to deal with the three different launchers if you have the three games installed.

Edit: While logged into the client I decided to boot up WoW for once this week. Was happy to notice that it bypassed the whole login process and just got me right to the character select screen. That sure saves a lot of time.

I tried this and it doesn't bypass the login for Starcraft 2.

Strange. It works flawlessly for me. WoW, D3, and SC2:HOTS log straight in right out of the launcher. Are you still on WoL? It could be that they didn't program that in yet since they were making sure HOTS worked first. It is still in beta after all.

Nope, I have Heart of the Swarm. It basically just worked as a shortcut to the game, far as I can tell.

Very odd. Not sure. It is in beta so maybe it's just working better on my system then on yours, but it logs me in automatically with no issue.

Bowielee · Aug 25, 2013

I'll reboot it this week and try again. Maybe it idled out on me or something.

You have my deepest sympathies...the Secrets are some elusive!

At least they'll be dropping in the SoO raid too, so we'll have a lot more chances to get them every week.

Anyone have any luck yet on The Horseman's Reins? None here yet.

Nope and I'm running it with 9 characters a day.

Shakey · Oct 20, 2013

I got lucky and got them a long time ago. :troll:

Squidleybits · Oct 20, 2013

No go today on five characters

Two of the helms though.

Dave · Oct 21, 2013

I haven't had luck, either, but I've only tried once on one character. I guess I should step it up. Or care more.

Gilgamesh · Oct 23, 2013

Finally finished Garrosh.... I'm so glad I didn't see any of the spoilers because witnessing the outcome on my own (especially after reading the novel Shadows of the Horde) was an amazing experience and further seals my feelings on Mists being WoW's greatest time since release.

The lfr queue for dps is nuts. A freaking hour.

All 4 of my mains are healers for a few reasons, this is one of them

Yeah, I'm not even going to try. We'll see if it gets better in a week. I tried healing, but it's just not my cup of tea.

Gilgamesh · Oct 24, 2013

As of 10 minutes ago.

Edit: Oh and just cause it's so freakin beautiful

Love that legendary cloak.

Squidleybits · Oct 24, 2013

That's awesome!! Grats!!

Squidleybits · Oct 25, 2013

35 tries and no mount. Tons of pets and hoods and even a sword I think.

Dave · Oct 25, 2013

So what's the easiest way to upgrade my weapon? Right now I have http://www.wowhead.com/item=105927

LFR? The new 4 wing dungeon has 528 weapons.

I've done a few LFR and gotten nothing. I reroll and get gold. Every. Damned. Time.

Yeah outside of the new LFR you won't find a better weapon than that. Maybe the Throne of Thunder LFR. But there's no valor weapons or rep weapons to be had at the end of the xpac outside of LFR at the moment.

Squidleybits · Oct 25, 2013

LFR 1 is pretty decent now and the second boss drops a nice cross bow. If you could find a flex that would be great too.

I wonder if we have enough here to try a forum flex.

Dave · Oct 25, 2013

What iLvl is flex? I think I'm at like 520 or so. I can't look right now since there's no more armory.

Squidleybits · Oct 25, 2013

I don't think Fkex had a requirement. 520 should be good for the first few wings. My ally hunter needs to get in some LFRs etc

ScytheRexx · Oct 27, 2013

I really need to get back into the game. My life right now is taking care of the kid, work, and then I can indulge one hobby, which WoW has not really been winning out on. I think BlizzCon might renew some of my interest, I really want to beat up Garrosh.

Squidleybits · Oct 27, 2013

50 and no mount

Shakey · Oct 28, 2013

Just need to try and find groups to do all the celestials and I'll finally have my cloak. Sucks that it took so long. Groups seem to be a bit hard to come by.

I just hung out around the area till groups formed up for it. Another thing to do is actually shout that you're forming a group for it, initiative my friend!

I've been doing that. Could just be a slow night.

Squidleybits · Oct 29, 2013

If you need dps let me know

Shakey · Oct 29, 2013

Just need yu'lon now! Alliance seem to be chain pulling all the celestials right now. I've watched them burn through them all 3 4 times now. :mad:

Squidleybits · Oct 29, 2013

Have you tried Open Raid?

Shakey · Oct 29, 2013

Finally got it. After watching Alliance tag Yu'lon all night I had to push a small raid to go for it in hopes that more would join so the alliance didn't get him again. Thankfully it worked out and people did join in from outside our group.

Squidleybits · Nov 1, 2013

Gross. Guess what didn't drop?
