Text of the page (random words):
nto raiding passing through tarren mill after having completed a quest from the hinterlands i was accosted by a 20ish hunter loitering around the bat handler dude yr an 80 he shouted lol yeah i replied i noticed u shouldn t be here i m not going to be i said and took the flight path to light s hope chapel that didn t hold a kobold s candle to the crowd that gathered around when i was in the orc troll starting area working on quests i finished a quest and left quint standing around afk for a moment when i returned there was a crowd of about eight to ten l1 l5 characters surrounding my pally okay i thought this is weird i mean you just go up the road to orgrimmar and you can see boatloads of 80s around i popped out of afk and one of them asked are u doing the starting zone quests yep y i m working on loremaster oooohhhhh came the collective response yr crazy said one yeah said another a third challenged me to a duel which i declined a fourth chimed in with a that s not hard maybe not but not a lot of people do it i took that as my cue to split to be fair the majority of the time i don t get a reaction at all which suits me just fine other people are doing their business and i m doing mine since i m the oddball high level character in these zones however i do try to make myself available should someone need some assistance on a quest what s the point of achieving loremaster if you don t share your knowledge i ve even had this loremaster mentality creep over into some of my alts my mage who is at l26 dropped into the ghostlands to finally try soloing dhar khan when she found a l21 hunter thinking the same thing i asked the hunter what she knew of the fight nothing this is my first character she said that s fine i replied even though this is an alt i m still fairly new myself we ll do this together i told her i d pull the aggro so we didn t have the entire room on us and then she could let her pet tank attack and take it over the strategy worked sort of i held aggro better than i expected but the net result was one dead necromancer and one happy hunter thanks so much she said you re welcome just so you know you re about to be doing some traveling on the next couple of quests so get ready to meet some of the leaders of the horde cool ah new players oh the title of this post that s simple really i m officially halfway to loremaster i m actually much farther along but i ve only dinged outlands and eastern kingdoms posted by redbeard at 4 46 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels quests the wow life fully converted hello i m mr goodie and i have two shoes i am now the proud owner of three high level alliance characters these last few weeks have been a great deal of fun i m a good guy i m all shiny and crap i can take on an entire group of horde in wsg all by my lonesome ok i ve not tried that but there s got to be some sort of appeal to it as i saw a lot of allies do that when i was horde i ve been noticing and have been discussing with my guild the differences in the two factions and i m terribly interested in how playing one faction seems to sway your you the player and you the character attitude while playing the game it s the small things that you don t notice that influence your game play until you you ve made the change yourself for instance you just click an npc and they don t want to bite your head off instead they greet you nicely and jaina in the new icc dungeon s attitude is completely different than sylvanas well for obvious reasons but the overall impression you get from her is sort of sad they re there to kill the lich king but there s a sort of grief about it like they re still getting over the loss arthas father and the loss of even arthas there s always hope for redemption albeit he s a murderous sod who unleashed his minions and inflicted mass genocide on everything living it s like the alliance has been pushed around by the horde for a while and they re just now getting back on their feet and establishing themselves which should be interesting seeing as the new stormwind king is rather confrontational but back on topic it s interesting to just sit and read trade chat sure there s the occasional asshats that like to troll but the majority of the talk is pretty decent that was not the case horde side i was absolutely boggled the other day by trade chat as a matter of fact somebody asked a somewhat noobie question and got a real answer almost immediately i think this carries over to pug groups as well i ve not seen too much bashing of other players at least not as frequent as on the horde i m looking forward to jumping into the leveling group of players in the lfd and really seeing if my observations hold true posted by deftig at 1 05 pm 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels alliance wednesday may 12 2010 class attachment so as we re nearing the next expansion i ve had a nagging feeling lately to finish leveling my warrior currently he s level 73 this guy originally started out as a level 29 tauren warrior who was a beast in the level 29 bracket this was back when having a twinked character was just becoming popular i did so much warsong gulch with him that he earned the rank of sargent in the old ranking system while my main character was a stone guard my point being the warrior has been around for a while but has never been at max level and doing end game stuff i ve always had a sort of fondness for warrior tanks as being a squishy rogue raiding molten core i was amazed when our main tank could take up to two of the giants at the same time and not only that but watching old pvp videos like those of high warlord pat just gave me an awesome feeling it s funny now how small those numbers in the video are warriors are raw they fully commit to the fight or they die there s no nifty get out of jail free card so what s holding me back from leveling it out fully the frustrations i get when tanking it has to be a world of difference once you get geared up but tanking at my level while i can do it successfully seems to be more work than it s worth it s not so much that you have to change targets and weave in some cleaves and a devastate or revenge here and there it s feels like a constant struggle to keep everything focused on me maybe i ve been spoiled with my dk s abilities like placing an aoe anywhere i want to grab incoming enemies and having a spiffy pulling mechanic to get casters all lined up nice and pretty for aoe i m thinking now s the time to at least max out level and wait and see how the dk revisions are panning out i still love playing my dk but with a reworking of the entire mechanic a reworking of the dk talent trees to make blood the tanking tree and a reworking of the vital tanking stats i m afraid of another brutal balancing act by blizzard at least this way i ll have options once cataclysm is released but this all raises an interesting question and one i ve been thinking about recently what drives you to play a certain class it is role choice fotm one ability you love and can t do without

past week we had a new boomkin join our guild his gear was good and at first he didn t really say a lot which i could understand since he was new to the guild and i guess getting a feel for who we are last night in raid we found quickly that it was a mistake to invite him i should ve known that someone with a gearscore as high as his that is unguilded is so for a certain reason but we gave him a shot now what i want to know is how someone who was able to get the gear he as not know what los means or not know to stop dps when he pulls aggro off a mob the tank is not on not to mention why someone like this feels the need to whisper people asking for a mage table or tell them how to play their class after globally muting him in vent we continued our run we get to rotface and we decide to go ahead and take a 5 min break to wait for our sated debuff to wear off what does this boomkin do hearths and goes to orgrimmar we didn t have a warlock in the raid last night so we couldn t summon him back facepalm he then asked us for a summon uhm no lock so what does he do starts spamming trade for a mage portal instead of you know taking the zep to borean tundra and flying over to icc no i guess that would be easy so we booted him from the raid and from the guild and of course i get the whisper from him asking why he was booted it was explained to him that he was annoying everyone when whispering them about how to play their characters how when a tank was trying to los a mob scientist he would start dpsing it and keeping the mob from coming around the corner and how when he pulled aggro on a mob the tank wasn t targeting he wouldn t stop dps me and the other healer purposefully let him die because he continued to do so and i was sick of seeing the aggro indicator come up on his name it was then he decided to call nate a little bitch and that he was the best player in our guild no sorry when you do 6k dps on a boss and never switched to adds when you re supposed to have no situational awareness and consistently annoy the piss out of everyone in the raid you re not the best player in the guild no one gives a fuck if you can do 28k dps on aoe trash when you die 30 seconds into a pull i swear i m a magnet for retards this is why i added the question do you have downs to our guild application posted by anonymous at 2 43 pm 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels fail raid tuesday may 11 2010 drop drip drop i may not like it but i ve gotten used to people porting in seeing the instance and or gear scores and dropping heck i ve kind of gotten used to people dropping after a wipe halls of reflection will do that to you or even after a boss when someone actually apologizes and leaves i consider it a victory for civility but if there s one thing i ll never get used to it s when people drop in the middle of a pull what sort of person does this anyway i know that others have written about it darth solo vidyala and tam among others but the lack of respect for your fellow player is just ridiculous we re paying for the privilege to operate in an mmo world and as much as some people fly solo guilty as charged you still have to interact with people to play the game people will talk to you you can be an ass and ignore them but the courteous thing to do is reply even if you re not interested in what they re saying what got me all worked up about this i got queued up for two 5 man runs today halls of reflection and forge of souls both of them had instances wherein someone dropped mid pull in halls of reflection it was the healer midway through the waves of trash between the first and second bosses naturally when the healer goes in that place the tank almost immediately bites it and so does everyone else the second one in forge of souls the boomkin warlock died right after pulling aggro on the trash in the run up to the bronjahm rather than wait for a rez or releasing and running back he just dropped now in both cases there was no lasting damage we had delays in the runs but that was it but the lack of courtesy especially in the hor run really got under my skin just like what the warrior dps in an utgarde pinnacle run last night told the rest of us he was abused by the tank in the previous 5 man he was on because he was pulling so low a dps i mean he s a new 80 and instead of trying to tank heroics he s trying to dps them to pick up gear to improve his dps what more could you want i m aware of the general consensus out there in the blogosphere that the lfd tool has enabled or exacerbated this sort of boorish behavior but my contention is that even without the tool the mmo community has been gradually moving in this direction anyway the mmo world is a reflection of society a geeky segment of society no doubt and it was only a matter of time before the lack of civility out there in our society found its way into all aspects of wow even i got tired of trade chat and dropped it from my channels and that s saying a lot i used to think that if these people who are spamming trade chat were forced to say that out loud in a public gathering they d shut their mouths a bit more often sadly i think that won t deter a lot of these people what i m afraid of is that the boorish behavior in mmos is now becoming the norm and people like me who want some courtesy among strangers are now on the sideline posted by redbeard at 11 49 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels fail pugs the wow life saturday may 8 2010 love hate relationships i spent the early morning and then the late evening running lots of 5 man heroics i don t normally chain run a bunch of them at a time hell i don t normally have the time to do that either but since i m going to port a character loaded with heirlooms over to ysera i d better make it count by the end of the day my head was kind of spinning some of the highlights of the runs included a forge of souls run wherein i replaced a dps who went afk right before the devourer of souls apparently he never mentioned anything and didn t disconnect but he just stopped moving so i was brought in we zapped the devourer of souls instance over had to be the quickest instance i ve ever been in a later run in the forge of souls where i actually had the music turned up what s with all the guitars and musical references with the brohnjam an inside wow joke about a developer who plays a lot of air guitar an azjol nerub run wherein i don t die i ve had this bad streak lately where i m the one that gets pounded and i m getting sick of it even when the tank has a good lock and i m on the side or the rear anub arak spins at the last second and grinds me into the dust a stupid tank move in utgarde pinnacle you know how ymrion makes everyone cower in fear several times while he buffs himself well the tank was in a hurry and decided to pull the last trash mob up into ymrion so that we could get this done quicker well guess what happens when you re cowering in fear and there s trash wailing on you yep you take lots of damage the tank assumed that but what he forgot was that the healer was also cowering in fear no healer no heals oops once the tank wiped the hunter s pet became the tank for the last 1 3 of the fight amazingly enough even with righteous fury turned on i couldn t pull aggro off of that pet the pet held aggro better than the tank did a drak run where the healer said pull the whole room i ll cover it i groaned the tank stared at him oookay she said at last and proceeded to do it for a change the healer actually delivered on his boast i m just tired of this place he sa...
