Cataclysm Leveling Guides 1-85

thanks from long time user guidehi i’m a long time user of your leveling guides (back from it was on web pages only) and it helped me level countless characters. I do enjoy and respect your work, and i registered to let you know as soon i get into beta you can count on me for testing your cata guides inside out.

Ok ArixanIgnore my last answer, I didn’t read the last part of your comment. What I can say that it’s a beta key for a game, not the access code for the Area 51. And plus I told that I give some money donation for the disturb.

I did itI did it.

There are beta keys, justThere are beta keys, just check the contests around, it’s not only by falling the account, you can use also beta keys. You have to activate as a normal game in the “Add or Upgrade Game” link in your battle.net account.

If I get a key.Due to Blizzard changing the distribution of beta keys this year (flagging accounts instead of giving keys)I will lend you my account for guide writing, or, I can help guide test (the more comfortable of the options).

plus ofc making sure youplus ofc making sure you have opted into the beta on battlenet too

This won’t really workFor this beta, Blizzard is not providing “keys”. Your account is flagged for beta access or it is not. Even things like the guild contest that Blizzard ran required the winners to submit their battle.net e-mail addresses to Blizzard to be activated.

In short, you are not going to find anyone with a key to give you, regardless of what you offer. Keys simply do not exist this time around.

Your best bet is to try entering the various contests that fan site are offering, if you can find any. I know there were several running as of not that long ago.

Offering some donation for a beta keyHello guys, I’m offering some donation in exchange of a beta key for Cataclysm. I want start working on the guiides but Blizzard has forgetten my account this year. Please if you have one I’m willing to give you some donation my Paypal (as a gift). Just PM me.

Mauro.

P.S. I’m dying to get into beta, please guys/girls help.

Guide testerI can help test the guides. Got beta access.
Currently playing on Mekkatorque (EU)

Guide testerI can test the guides I have been using the guides for a little over a year. No Beta key though.

Congrats! I entered ourCongrats! I entered our guild but did not win 🙁

Got in to the betaThanks to winning the Guild Contest I won a beta invite so I will be able to help test out on the beta and may write guide(s).

Worry not…I can understand why you say this, since you have only been in the beta for a couple days (grats on your invite, by the way! 😀 ).

I’ve been in since the Alpha phase. sometime around mid-May. Once you are around for a patch or two, you will be thoroughly surprised at how fast Blizzard pulls things together and fixes issues. It may seem bug-filled right now, but I promise it is worlds better than what the Alpha started with. A lot of the bugs you are seeing now are the result of fixing other bugs. It’s part of the process, and why we are all there.

Either way, it is better to have everything done with the addon and guides as quickly as possible. If we end up having more time, that’s just more time to refine and polish. 😉

Blizzard are going to haveBlizzard are going to have to push hard as far as I’ve seen to have Cata’ ready by the end of the year, and I’ve only spent a couple of days in the beta so far, so we might have more time than we think for developing the addon

Currently 2 of my copied 80’s are stuck without a location, one through using a portal in Dalaran, the other trying to leave an instance. Sometimes you can’t learn spells that you should be able to, that your spellbook says you should go and learn. Character creation and Zonemaps have a few bugs each…..that was just yesterdays bugs!

There are some 33 pages and counting of bug reports on the Cata’ forums

Hopefully the addon will beHopefully the addon will be available on release. I’m going to start work on a guide recorder addon that should make it much easier and faster to write guides into the addon, but it’s possible we still won’t have time to get both completed by the time the expansion is released.

will addon format bewill addon format be availible on release? or will it be text only.

i dont mind tho.

Heh, I appreciated those.Heh, I appreciated those. Also *hate* still no beta key here.

WOOT WOOT! I’ve just got myWOOT WOOT! I’ve just got my beta key, going to start seeing what of the guides need updating and how.

Anything else we need looking out for, gimme shout

Oh and we need dancing bananas 😛

Active tester willing to helpHello, as your wotlk guide helped me to get 80 realm first achievement I’d like to take part of this as Guide Tester. Dont have a beta access yet but you can count me in if Im able to get one. Cheers

Really, EVERYTHING needsReally, EVERYTHING needs work. Hyjal and Vash’jir already have some people working on them, but pretty much all the old zones that have been revamped need some guide writing done. Alternatively you can work with the Hyjal, Vash’jir, Goblin starter, or Worgen starter authors to do testing, screenshot taking, etc.

The only full, complete guide at the moment is the Hyjal alliance guide. It still needs coords and maps with routes, however.

The troll and goblin 1-5 guides have a quest order but need screenshots, coords, and maps.

Interested In HelpingI don’t have beta access currently, but I’d be interested in Addon Writing or Guide testing if I get access.

Jiyambi, I just finally gotJiyambi, I just finally got my beta invite. I’m stoked!

What should I be focusing on? Is there a particular zone or something that you’d like me to start testing?

You can download the addonYou can download the addon here: http://wiki.github.com/Jiyambi/WoW-Pro-Guides/

I’d prefer feedback also be left there on github, but if that’s too much of a bother you can leave feedback in comments here or PM me.

I’d like to help testing theI’d like to help testing the addon as well as helping writing,editing the guides

thanks for your time, and great work

Whatever you feel is higherWhatever you feel is higher priority. I will do what I can.

haha, will do, thanks forhaha, will do, thanks for the tip 🙂

Beta KeysZAM network is giving away keys. Today is Allakhazam:
http://wow.allakhazam.com/story.html?story=22862

Jiyambi, note this line:
++ If you’re an AddOn author WoWInterface has almost an unlimited number of keys to give away.

Now get a move on! 🙂

Thanks for the offer toThanks for the offer to help, Kenley. For now, we don’t have any beta keys to give out (even for ourselves 🙁 ) but you can still sort of work on a guide based on beta content videos and WoW.com. Did you have some idea of what you would like to work on?

I got some spare free timeI got some spare free time comming up. This means that I will test the addon since I want my mage to be arround level 75 before catalysm hit the stores. I will report error or bugs on github. I don’t know if github is able to have some screenshots in the reports aswell. If that is not the case I will upload them to my webspace.

Greetings Ralpb

Volunteering to helpI would love to volunteer as a Guide Tester/Writer. I am familiar with the code that you guys use for the guides. Unfortunately, I do not have beta access so that might be a problem. I have been anxiously waiting to get my own key with no success so far. If you pick me to be a tester and/or writer I promise I won’t let you down 🙂

Addon Alpha – Version 0.12.1 – BETA CANDIDATEAnother round of bug fixes later, and it’s that time again folks!

[url]http://wiki.github.com/Jiyambi/WoW-Pro-Guides/[/url]

This time through, we had mostly bug fixes. The only new feature added is support for multiple profiles for your display settings, courtesy of Ace3 🙂

Our addon alpha files have moved to github. Everything is still available in zip format for the many folks who aren’t familiar with git, but we now to have a git repository available for the programmers out there!

Feel free to make an account over on github (it’s free) and leave feedback there via the awesome issue tracker. However, I’ll still respond to any feedback sent via WoW-Pro, email, blog, or twitter, just as I have been 🙂

Thanks for the hard work everyone, we are almost there!

I can help with writing theI can help with writing the addon guide and testing it

As a long-time user andAs a long-time user and recommender of the guides on this site, I would be more than happy to help test out any new Cata guides since I just got into the beta 🙂

Thanks for the suggestion! IThanks for the suggestion! I was actually thinking about looking into Ace anyways. The only problem is that we don’t want our site to loose all the traffic from the addon – not because we need money from advertisers, but because it would mean less people commenting on the site, and from there less people writing guides here. But having the addon on a more mainstream addon site could bring in people, too. It’s something we’ve been wrestling with for a while.

Beta KeysIt’s probably too late in the game, but I know that sites that host add-ons for authors are distributing keys. It may be good to look into curse or ace. I know wow interface requires the add-on author to have been a member prior to July 12. Just an idea to get the party rolling a bit quicker for writing and testing guides.

I’ve also go a beta keyI don’t intend in playing the whole game in beta but I will certainly check any starting zone guide available.

Congratulations! If you’dCongratulations! If you’d like to help contributing, I could need some help myself with the troll starting zone guide ( https://wow-pro.com/horde_leveling_guides/troll_starting_zone ). If you have time, you can run through the guide to see if I’ve missed quests etc. You could also map coordinates where the quests are and take screenshots of about everything you see. If you get any good shots, please upload them to imagehack.us or some similar site and link them to me in a private message. I’ll add your name to the guide of course.

^^

BetaI’m in the beta, and would be more than happy to test both guides and the add on once add ons are cleared for usage.

Beta in the PTR or regular accountIf you get an invite, is it then on the Public Test Realm, or separate server or what? Can you register only one of your computers on the beta application? We put the laptop on the application, but wasn’t sure if the desktop could also be registered (it in’t much better than the laptop as it has an Intel inegrated graphics where the laptop has a decent ATI set, and looks a bit better).

I’m going to assume that theI’m going to assume that the beta for Cataclysm will be similar to that of Starcraft II, in that most beta accounts are handled in this way, BUT – Starcraft’s beta had several instances in which “friend invites” were given out to beta testers so they could invite their friends to the beta. Also, there were keys available as promotions to fan sites, stores that were giving them out with preorders, etc. So I would not give up hope on this just yet.

Beta “keys”Just thought I’d mention they’re tied to the persons account, you can’t donate a key to anyone unfortunately.

Can I sign up?I am still yet to receive a beta invite. If I do I will quite happily do some guide writing. 😀

I’ve created a forum whereI’ve created a forum where all cataclysm guide writing discussion can take place. You can find it here: https://wow-pro.com/forum/210

Please sign up there if you [b]have a beta key[/b] and want to write (or help write) one of the official WoW-Pro Cataclysm guides. Or if, you know, you want to donate it 😀

Official: Beta is ACTIVE!Hi everyone. Yes the beta is active. No, Jame and I don’t have keys just yet, but we are working on it!

I will be posting updates here, and I will be creating a forum for us to use later today. I’d do it right now but I have to rush off to work for a few hours.

If you DO have an active beta account already, right now, please let us know 🙂 We’ll know who to look for then for news, information, and who might be starting on guides!

Beta within 24 hrsWell, as you know by now, the beta has started!

that means that all the Alpha stuff is getting leaked & servers reset.
That means that they’ll prolly start throwing out beta invites within the next 24hrs, so sit tight. 😉

As unfortunate as it is, i’m leaving for Italy tomorrow (not unfortunate that i’m going there, rather the timing :P) which means i will miss the “start-up” phase on the forum here.

i’m partly writing this, to assure you lads don’t think i bailed on you all. 😉

GL all with getting a key & see you 2 weeks. <3
