Text of the page (random words):
ntures petered out when i began progression raiding and truth be told i was tired of all the losing in alterac valley so when my questing buddy began prodding me to go capture fortifications in hellfire peninsula or capturing spirit towers in terrokk forest for pvp honor i finally relented because she needed gear for an alt of hers and one way of getting it was through pvp i went and did it and dammit the bug bit me so i did it on both brig and linna and then on neve and then after another friend showing me what gear he was able to get just doing this sort of honor farming while leveling i realized that linna could finally get a weapon that was at least within 50 miles of being close to what her retribution paladin bis would be lugging around a quest green weapon into karazhan was my nightmare that i d essentially have to be carried the entire run and not pull my own weight and here was a chance of at least not looking so pathetic that all i did was engender sympathy i had no idea that this was actually a remake this was the version i knew but lyn roman did a version in 1973 so i steeled myself and queued up for alterac valley and we won and again the next time we lost but the speed runs that had replaced the terrible grinding losses were addictive and dammit i could do this even with my crappy gear so i kept running av on saturday night one after another until i looked up and it was 5 am on sunday morning uh oh i went and lay down but i couldn t sleep i was too hyped up on this i could run av and get some positive direction on gear and i could do it without running around and begging people for help my honor goal toward getting linna a weapon grew closer and closer throughout sunday in between yard work and eating and some other odds and ends having everybody else in the house out for the day had its advantages since there are 4 drivers in the house and only 3 cars so oh darn i can t go anywhere i guess i ll just oh run another alterac valley i finally had to force myself to confess what i d been up to with my questing buddy and she gave me the you need to not do this so singlemindedly and relax bit that i typically give others yeah i replied but i say that because i have those tendencies too so i know what it s like and here i was violating all of that in pursuit of that high that had proven so elusive in battlegrounds in classic and was also a big reason why i stopped playing retail wow when all you feel is losing it infects your mindset so having an equal chance at winning is just so damn addictive i did get enough honor to get linna her weapon it took 25 hours by the way and i took a deep breath and backed off a bit i m still running battlegrounds but not at the insane breakneck pace i did last weekend if nothing else i need to show i can master my emotions so i can be a good example to others and if i can t i need to tell people that so i can get some help okay so yes i feel like things are moving forward after being stuck in neutral since well december and that s not even covering the changes to the code of conduct that blizz is bringing to wow soon thank goodness which right now involves running the magister s terrace dungeon and doing dailies out at the isle of quel danas for reputation for what exactly i m not sure of most of the people doing this stuff are doing it likely to get certain enchants and other items for their raiding gear given that most people out there have mount hyjal black temple raid gear which are much better than any reward from that area there s another reason of course i feel that i m well incomplete my raiding career was cut short at the end of phase 2 and i never got to even finish tempest keep before my last raid so in my mind i don t get to skip straight to the end and go up there i didn t earn the right to go to the isle of quel dans i needed to be in the trenches finishing tempest keep and fighting my way through both mount hyjal and black temple with the rest before i can say that yes i deserve to be at quel danas anything less would be dishonorable toward the monday raid team who earned the right to be there because they fought the hard fight it doesn t matter that they ve not yet finished hyjal or black temple that will come soon i know but i don t deserve to reap the rewards that they earned i will not be the child of privilege who comes along after they did all the hard work and skip ahead straight to the end so while i d love to go there i just can t from the incredibles sorry i m not saying who it was who did it i don t need any more drama in my life and i ve pretty much cut him out of it anyway one of the bosses in mount hyjal requires everybody to have a get out of a stun free card which for the raid team meant getting a pvp trinket that you can pop and get out of any stun once every couple of minutes so everybody had to farm pvp activities for the trinket and when i mentioned that there s no way i m going to get back into progression raiding right now because i d have to study the fights and do pvp and get other gear my questing buddy said oh it s easy you just sit at the towers or the fortifications a couple of times turn in the daily quests a few times and you ve got the honor you need okay i should clarify this a bit she tolerated my explanation giving me the yeah gear is good and a few other tidbits before she said something akin to i suppose i should say be careful and don t overdo it that you usually say to others but you already know that which i totally admit i earned in a way i m glad she handled it the nonchalant way she did because it snapped me back to reality much more quickly than i d have expected must be a mom thing because if you re used to whatever drama of the day your kids bring to you my foibles are like small potatoes by comparison eta corrected a couple of grammatical mistakes eta clarified a part by adding posted by redbeard at 10 32 pm 10 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels battlegrounds horde musings tbc classic saturday may 14 2022 end of an mmo tera well tera is shutting down the game which is an acronym for the exiled realm of arborea is one of those mmo titles that can bring out strong opinions among fans of the mmo genre yes it has exciting action combat yes the graphics are well done but almost from day one tera developed a reputation for what i m politely calling fanservice if you thought my cheeky commentary by neve about the stitched trousers was something imagine if she got a hold of the outfits i discovered in tera this was one of the milder ones i encountered and this wasn t bringing in the so called running form the castanic females have apparently running bent over with your panties out is a thing in korean mmos but the thing is even if all that went away tera would have the reputation it does because of one thing only the elin i won t dignify a link to it but the elin are supposedly an ancient spirit race who just so happen to look like prepubescent girls all of them and then to top it off tera dresses the elin up in sexualized outfits because of course they do the kicker is that the us release of tera actually has the elin s outfits toned down the korean release shows them even skimpier if that isn t a call to a dark corner of the internet that boy have we got a game for you i don t know what does i can t simply justify tera s behavior in this manner because they had to know that the elin would attract a certain crowd but there it is and because of it i m not sorry to see it go the way of the dodo while i d like to spend more time musing about tera i think josh strife hayes did a great job on the game with his wost mmo ever series when he took on tera i think there s a good story somewhere in the game but it s not engaging enough to overcome all the ridiculous outfits and the lolli creeper vibe i get from tera i mean the graphics are great the combat is fine and the music is good why oh why did bluehole make these design decisions if you d have asked me which game would have died first tera or archeage i d have picked archeage the rapid decline in server population coupled with missing pieces to the story from the get go usually would be the death knell of a game i mean both games share obvious fanservice elements such as obvious boob physics and overly revealing costumes and there s parts of the storyline in both games that make me feel like i m in an anime so there s a ton of similarities here the biggest difference here is that tera has the elin and archeage doesn t full stop so i guess i can look at tera and think what if and shake my head and let s be honest more than just that the walking and running motions of female toons the exaggerated bustlines and the tendency to wear high heels all the time are all hallmarks of korean mmos both games happen to have these in spades but i think it needs to be said i m not a prude if things such as the outfit options had a wide variety of available selections and you could choose what you liked to wear whether sexy and revealing or more realistic armor then i d be fine with it after all everybody is different and has their own opinions on what to wear it s the lack of choice that annoys me the most posted by redbeard at 6 57 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels end of an mmo tera thursday may 12 2022 missives to silvermoon dearest brother salutations from outland i am presently ensconced in a sindorei outpost here falcon watch after having arrived a few weeks ago while i understand that many of our brethren look down upon our fellow members of the horde i must say that i have grown fond of them over our time together in azeroth the behavior of several of our fellow sindorei in the face of the reality of outland can be disheartening at times consider those who have come on a pilgrimage to outland hoping to find the promised land many of our fellows are ill equipped and ill suited for the rigors of this arid land as i have found pilgrims in poor condition and suffering from all sorts of maladies here at falcon watch and all the while more and more arrive daily would that i could provide aid but the best a magistrix can do is try to make the passage to falcon watch easier by clearing the road of some of these native inhabitants i hate to say it given our precarious position in eversong but many people are better off not coming to this place given the choice between demons and undead the undead are a far more manageable problem what i am mostly disappointed in is that our abandonment by the alliance is coloring our thinking the roads are fairly clear save for this monstrous infernal machine called the fel reaver roaming the area but because we do not trust the alliance we do not use that road much to the danger of our people instead the path to falcon watch is paved through territory claimed by so called fel orcs these orcs unlike our fellows in the horde are totally in thrall to the demons the frostwolves in charge of the primary horde outpost thrallmar have been dismayed by these fel orcs who have not thrown off their yoke from their oppressors even more worrisome is that when i was sent into the ramparts of their main outpost hellfire citadel i discovered that they swear their allegiance to illidan not the burning legion if they have thrown their lot in with illidan and they are infused with demonic power what does that say about our own kael thas sunstrider i find it difficult to ascertain our prince s designs here because consorting with the same beings our ancestors fought in the war of the ancients would be unthinkable but here we are and nobody at falcon watch seems to want to confront the disturbing implications of this i have been performing my duty as a dawnweaver following in the steps of our ancestors and engaging the demons at every opportunity as they refused to bow to them neither shall i however i have been less than thrilled by the gear handed out to the personnel here at falcon watch and at thrallmar there is a goblin at thrallmar who seems to take a particular delight in tormenting me this creature provided me with some replacement pants which he assured me were stitched trousers after my own were burned setting fire to some fel orc cannons they were not stitched trousers oh i am absolutely certain you would find them quite fetching on that innkeeper you are chatting up but out here they are a total embarrassment me a dawnweaver wearing clothing meant for a boudoir fighting the burning legion i assure you that i would fight the scourge naked and to my last breath if i had to but this is an unthinkable breach in protocol i was totally embarrassed when i presented myself to the ranger captain of falcon watch i ll get that goblin if it s the last thing i do i do have the honor of bearing important news from the front i was sent forth to engage a fel orc assassin camping out on the road to falcon watch lying in wait to ambush our people but when i arrived i found him already dead with an axe buried in his back the design was quite primitive but also quite effective when i returned to commander nazgrel with the axe he became all excited exclaiming have we found them he then sent me forth to a shaman who provided me with a totem to use at the site of the assassin s demise the totem called forth an ancestral wolf spirit who led me up into the hills there i found orcs not fel orcs or even frostwolves but orcs who followed the ancient ways uncorrupted by the legion the only reason i survived this encounter was due to the presence of the wolf spirit here my knowledge of the orcish language came to the forefront as these mag har as they call themselves were extremely distrustful at my story they knew of the warchief s father yet found it hard to believe that the clans who followed thrall had thrown off their demonic yoke and lived peacefully in azeroth they provided me a missive to send back to orgrimmar and when i returned to thrallmar with the letter nazgrel selected me for the honor of presenting it to the warchief our parents would have been so proud if they were alive today to see it and our warchief was overcome by the news that some of his people had survived without succumbing to the burning legion thrall s advisor eitrigg talked our warchief out of abandoning his post for outland counseling caution as our enemies would take advantage of his absence eitrigg and saurfang both have a good head on their shoulders and they temper thrall s enthusiasm with wisdom still it was wonderful day to represent our people in this manner quintalan when i returned to the mag har with thrall s response they provided me a fine reward fitting for a magistrix be well and i await your reply please make with all haste to join me here as our people are desperately in need of a guiding light that you can provide your loving sister nevelanthana posted by redbeard at 5 38 pm 2 comments email thi...
