[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	Druids weep. Your treant like tree form is gone. You are now thicker, bushier and have a cool down. How has this affected healing? Are you disappointed to lose the fun of another form? Are the big new trees easier to target in PvP? The Topic of the Week is a contest run by WoW Vault! The best reply will receive VIP Insider for 2 weeks!

	This change pissed me off more than any other, possibly. I liked my tree. A cooldown on tree form? Come on. -----signature----- I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

	The change to tree form was a pvp based decision. There is no doubt that tree from draws attacks in BGs arenas etc. There was no stop and evaluate who is healer. Of course addons like Gladiator can let you know anyway. I would guess that the masses don't run that however. And anything that draws attention to oneself will draw concentrated fire. Trees were being chain targeted in pvp situations as a rule. I did it. I know most everyone else did too. -----signature----- Tongue-tied and twisted.

I kind of liked being the decoy. I could usually keep myself alive plenty long enough for my teammates to take down whoever got sidetracked with me. That was fun! -----signature----- I'm the Dude.

	I used the glyph for the old look because it's better. And I don't like the new mechanic, It's a wasted skill. I either forget to use it, or generally have no need to ever use it.... which is why i ditched healing and went tanking. at least there I can play my SHAPESHIFTING DRUID CLASS WHILE SHAPESHIFTED as the game originally intended. boohoo you can't see your armor BS. YOU ARE PLAYING A SHAPESHIFTING CLASS. you know this when you create a druid and shouldn't be to the point to where you can complain about not seeing your armor if you didn't like it. i mean really... who in their right mind says "oh i loved being a tree but now after 80+ levels i think i'd like to see my armor now". you know what you signed up for as a druid and they've taken it away. reverse the change and make a minor glyph that just makes it so you don't look like a tree. -----signature----- "...and they'll say "Hey, Look at him!, I'll never live that way". And that's ok they couldn't anyway..."

	I hated the change and still do. Worst for me still to this day is remembering not to go into tree form during prep in arena's or after shape shifting out of cheetah. -----signature----- I, on the other hand, prefer a command-line system 'cause i'm so hardcore /north /north You encounter an [Avatar of the god Set]! /cast sheild sheild spell unavailable /csat shield csat: unknown command [Avatar of Set] beheads [Peasant]
