Text of the page (random words):
dalaran sewers in search of wayward potions of tuskar proportions and enjoys walks on the beach preferably with someone i like with that said let us begin with a topic near and dear to my heart money yes we females love money mostly because one can find satisfaction without all the necessary gibber jabber other things require but don t fret you fine specimens of testosterone even male orcs can be sexy too think of it you in cataclysm with your 310 mount all paid for by your economic virility and her perched on top of deathwing lair waiting for someone to give her the ride of her life yes that can be you with a pimped out mount carrying a heavy purse and hot babe to prove it i m going to include a video where not only can green pectorals be entertaining but said pectorals can actually induce undulating monetary ecstasy by simply following this fellow blogger s direction on how to make gold with jewelcrafting and enchanting in less than 10 minutes you read that right 10 minutes alas there is one thing that is critical well two things 1 use the tools he recommends and 2 timing is of the essence first macros and add ons take much of the work and simplifies it similar to a microwave is to hot pockets he provides links to the add ons and instructions for macros second timing timing timing it can t be said enough with cataclysm around the corner you want to make sure items like epic gems are sold now make sure they re cut and make sure to use cuts people would want to buy i e haste spellpower strength spellpower etc the blue quality gems sell best uncut frankly i know he has a few cut but honestly you can make a lot more selling them as mats for professions and more so right after cataclysm comes out remember people will be leveling their worgens goblins so they will seek the auction house for mats to level their professions okay this may not be the magey goodness you expect but you can t deny its yumminess nosiree like me you too will drool and gasp in awe as you learn how to make 1 500 gold a day spending only 10 minutes of your life in the game say it with me yeah baby stay tuned for my next installment where i discuss how to contend with burnt hair smell as a fire mage in cataclysm posted by rm brand at 3 14 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday september 26 2010 woo happy birthday to pc yep we re coming up on our first year anniversary on sept 29th i d like to thank my co poster redbeard and even though satyana has been mia from the blog for a while i d like to thank her for her contributions as well and most importantly i d like to thank the readers and the wonderful people who take the time to reply i wasn t so sure we d be as successful as we have been and i d also like to welcome our newest contributing poster welcome to ehna i ll let her do her own introduction but i believe she ll make a great addition to the team i m looking forward to all of the topics cataclysm will bring out and all of the exciting changes in store posted by deftig at 1 57 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday september 24 2010 intentionally handicapping gameplay there s all sorts of ways players intentionally inhibit themselves and i d like to touch on a few that have bugged me recently character control we ve been running ulduar 10 hard modes in an effort to acquire a 310 mount before cataclysm is released a few members of the guild are very very close to getting glory of the ulduar raider finished up i myself am only lacking one achievement which we just attempted for the first time last night and got three solid attempts in making it to phase two of yogg saron 1 doing these hard modes makes me realize a few things there is no way a keyboard turner can complete some of these achievements you just can t case in point we have a few players in our guild who actually do keyboard turn i find this to be more prevalent on pve servers where you can lazily run around with out having to look for incoming attacks and we struggled for three nights on firefighter one of our tanks happens to keyboard turn so when shock blast is about to go off he turns starts to run and promptly drops dead and that same player has to execute a left turn forward run right turn just to dodge cold flame on marrowgar facepalm ok fine i guess i won t get to try out my new pve fury dps spec back to tanking and another quick pet peeve if you have to run from something run don t backpedal don t keyboard turn yourself around use the mouse to turn and then strafe you can still move at full speed doing this or just quickly face the opposite way and run your happy ass out of the bad stuff socially this is a multiplayer game at its core sure you can do most things in the game solo but for all of the good stuff raids pvp dungeons you will need to interact with people the best way to do this is find a guild but you don t want to join a guild because you re not good enough how do you expect to improve on your gameplay it doesn t just happen naturally for example you learn very very quickly not to use hand of reckoning in a group setting if you re not the tank a new player would assume that this spell does damage and it s ok to use in your rotation and that new player would never change his mind if he were not exposed to a group environment where you learn how to properly apply your class skills beyond that you make new friends and acquaintances developing your social skills are good albeit they re internet social skills having friends in the game can really help motivate you too i probably wouldn t have finished out my nether drake on my warrior third nether drake grind now were it not for a friend wanting to do it and joining up with him and we re even working on getting random reputations built up things i never though i d do because frankly it sucks rep grinds just are not fun however having a friend there to idly chat with and crack jokes really doesn t make it so bad mentally i ve seen everything there is to see in the game because i m a hard core raider and there s nothing left for me here or perhaps i ve played this game since launch it sucks xyz new game will kill warcraft or even this will be my last blog post for a while i ve just lost interest in playing the game bull shit i hate that sort of overly dramatic whiny nonsense get over yourself there s nothing left for you in game that s fine to each his own but i don t care to read about how bad you think the expansion will be and how your flavor of the month class is going to be nerfed and you can t figure out what the next class of the month will be show some original thought there s tons of stuff to do in the game level an alt try out the other faction finish leveling out your trade skills play at the auction house pick an achievement and try to get it i m tired of reading about people who are stuck in the pre expansion lull and whine about it this is the first time where end game as been so readily available to the average player have you conquered all of the raids and dungeons in the game to date if not find a group and set to it say you have actually conquered everything in game as far as raid dungeon content goes that s fine too pick a raid achievement and get it done you ll get a spiffy reward and you may even have fun doing so don t get yourself stuck in a rut where you focus on the negative so the moral of the story is nobody likes a negative nancy level 72 death knights or gnomes posted by deftig at 12 43 pm 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday september 23 2010 a cure for the common ganker i started writing this post about two or three times before i decided i wasn t going to write about pugs i could return to my regularly scheduled grumblings another time but this post will be pug free you re off the hook mr gnomer is so boring and i spend so much time yawning that i forget to tank i was on neve working on some quests in hillsbrad while waiting for the lfd queue when a thought struck me you know i said to a fellow guildie this has to be the first time i ve leveled in hillsbrad without constantly looking over my shoulder old pvp habits die hard when i first showed up with neve in hillsbrad several months ago i was completely unnerved by the alliance characters just blithely passing me on the road after having spent my formative wow years on a pvp server i was used to ganking as a way of life if you were out farming for ore you kept a close eye on your surroundings before you stopped and picked that nugget of iron up even when you got flying in outland and northrend that meant you had to watch the skies as well as the ground you could be out questing at 3 am server time stormscale is a pacific time zone server and i live in the eastern time zone and found yourself caught from behind while working your way through stromgarde keep after a while you get twitchy when you go through different locales wondering where the next attack is coming from switching to a pve server does help eliminate that inherent nervousness but i think what really helped in the long run was leveling on the alliance side no i m not talking about some great kumbaya moment about how we re all one great happy family but rather going out and leveling in unfamiliar places redridge mountains darkshore dun morogh loch modan wetlands westfall azuremyst and bloodmist all of those places are strange territory to this hordie and the lack of opposing faction toons finally allowed me to relax and enjoy the environment after that experience in low ish level areas returning to hillsbrad on neve was almost a non event i saw a few alliance toons heading up to alterac but since i didn t have the pvp flag turned on there was nobody to worry about except for the fellow hordies who thought that neve needed company or something to protect her from the big bad murlocs now if i could only figure out how to attack people on my own faction posted by redbeard at 6 35 pm 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels pve pvp the wow life friday september 17 2010 whispers in the dark have you ever had that feeling where people are talking about you behind your back perhaps you developed that sense in middle school when rumors could sweep through your classmates before you even knew what happened or maybe you were clueless then but in office politics you have to keep an ear to the ground lest you be swept aside by some conniving young punk a few cubicles down in real life that feeling is often accompanied by the looks you get from others while they re huddled together wow however doesn t have that visual cue you have to rely upon actions or words instead before you ask i don t intend to talk about guild drama there s enough posts out there on the subject by other bloggers that you don t need me to chime in and to be honest i avoid guild drama like the plague sure i like to know the whys behind a move within the guild but that doesn t mean i want to inject myself into the drama what i meant was in relation to instances in raids you have vent or equivalents but not in a regular old 5 man pug maybe in a heroic northrend instance you expect silence but in the lower level instances you expect people to talk to say they need to drink and to discuss strategy unless the entire group is composed of people at the high end of the level range you simply aren t op enough to wing it and if people start doing some bizarre behavior you can bet that there s some discussion going on behind the scenes take a recent experience in maraudon for example thankfully blizz cut maraudon into chunks for lfd which makes it easier to run this particular run was the orange crystals wing which ends at razorlash and the party consisted of three guildies from another server tank healer and hunter dps a lock and tomakan me the first sign of trouble was when the lock and hunter died a couple of trash pulls in from what i could tell the hunter pulled aggro on some of the mob and that subsection of the mob killed both of them i kept expecting the warrior tank to yank the mob back but he instead he pressed on i rezzed the lock the healer rezzed the hunter and the two guildies ran on to catch up with the tank while the lock and i drank i expected something to be said in party chat by then but it was eerily silent we got to the oozes and dispatched them without much issue the tank headed left to the next trash and i engaged just as i realized that there was nobody else behind us the other three had engaged the oozes on the right instead by the time we got back to the others and finished off the oozes the lock had died again the healer rezzed the lock and then ran on ahead with the rest while the lock and i drank i don t know what was going on in the lock s head but i was detecting a pattern the healer was behaving more like dps and i was spending some of my mana keeping both myself and the tank upright i checked the roles and yeah the healer wasn t me what was more worrisome was that the tank seemed blissfully unconcerned about trying to pull back aggro when someone else acquired it i know all about the you yank it you tank it concept but this was different at one point i got aggro and i popped hand of salvation and stopped hitting but i kept aggro i bubbled and i still kept aggro standing there in the middle of the mob with nowhere to go and waiting for my threat to go down was an exercise in frustration especially when the hunter was also pulling aggro the tank seemed to be on auto attack and the healer was jumping around and popping holy nova somehow we made it to the end and defeated razorlash i was typing in my standard thanks for the group when the tank and hunter ran onward obviously going to celebras whatever i thought and followed along i could use the extra xp after all well celebras wasn t the end the tank and his guildies kept going and it was obvious by now that they wanted to take out theradras herself i hadn t signed on for this and the only time party chat was used was when the lock died for the third time and the healer said i m not rezzing you any more send me a heal now and then the lock replied i grimaced and kept going i could have taken the easy way out and dropped but i wasn t going to leave the lock alone with these clowns besides their asshatery hadn t really risen to my i m dropping group threshold the mobs got tougher and they started getting silence effects the way the healer was jumping around and attacking meant he was well within range for being silenced and i knew it was a matter of time before the mobs got big enough for us to wipe right at a choke point that happened the tank pulled two groups and about 20 seconds later that was that almost immediately the three guildies dropped maybe they just did it on a spur of the moment but to the lock and myself it sure felt like they were leading ...
