Text of the page (random words):
ite of his not so great health the priest turned to the horde side come at me bro come at me bro come at me bro i love yelling that to piss them off he declared come at me bro come at me bro my lips trembled with suppressed mirth do you think he even realizes that the horde can t read that i whispered the dk nope and i m not gonna tell him either he replied just desserts if you ask me okay i m shortening things up quite a bit here because strategies change almost by the minute in eots but in general the fewer stealthies a side has the more it has to rely upon brute force to capture an area which depletes any push in the mid i was short on health and the priest hadn t healed me yet so i wasn t planning on using life tap you learn very quickly that if you make excessive use of life tap in a bg that s an opening for a stealthie to come in and finish you off posted by redbeard at 10 45 am 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels battlegrounds the wow life monday june 18 2012 that long ride into the sunset i don t often do memes but this one suggested by cymre over at blog azeroth touched a nerve if blizzard added your main as an npc in wow where would they be located and what would be their function give us a shot illustrating the fact of course my first thought was which main there s my old main quintalan basking in retirement and my current pair of mains tomakan alliance and nevelanthana horde who will soon be retiring once mists drops i haven t decided on a new main but adelwulf is probably in the mix then i remembered how we used to handle our characters in the old ad d games i played my first time around as an rpger once a character amassed enough wealth and or power we had the character merely retire to live out the rest of life as the lord of some castle or other essentially our characters became npcs in the game world so i was already doing to my wow characters what i d done all that time ago making them de facto npcs therefore i m going to take a look at each of my already retired or soon to be retired mains and see what they d be up to quintalan blood knight loremaster mu ru is gone his spark used to re ignite the sunwell the blood knights loyal to liadrin lor themar and halduron brightwing fought and defeated kil jaeden as part of the shattered sun offensive many went on to lend support to the argent crusade in the struggle against arthas lady liadrin now resides at the sunwell speaking to pilgrims from all over therefore it falls to the veterans of the blood knights such as quintalan to indoctrinate the new initiates into the fold as the bearer of quel delar he roams eversong woods and the ghostlands as a quest giver his quests concern the blood knight lore their creation their fall and their redemption as a model look at the demon hunter quest chain in felwood but spread out over a longer time initially he is found alone looking at the shrine of dath remar on sunstrider isle does anybody ever read the plaque here later he wanders between fairbreeze village tranquillien in the ghostlands and the farstrider enclaves in both eversong and the ghostlands eversong is a beautiful and pleasant place pay no attention to that dead scar over q s left shoulder he gives blood knights quests at l20 and l40 on the history of the order upon completion of the l40 quest the blood knight opens an additional quest in which quintalan presents the blood knight to lady liadrin at a phased version of the sunwell the lady gives her approval to accept the blood knight as a squire of the order and sends the new squire on a quest chain for the purpose of atoning for the misdeeds of the fallen blood knights at the completion of the quest chain and at l60 the blood knight receives a message to seek quintalan out and he initiates a special chain which takes the blood knight to the sunwell for a presentation before a dal and liadrin the latter then gives the blood knight the order s tabard signalling acceptance as a full blood knight nevelanthana arcane tinkerer quintalan s sister was never the one for history she spends her days between the isle of quel danas and dalaran exploring the arcane and stretching the boundaries of what it can do at her room in dalaran she is surrounded by her beloved books of arcana and the mages whose order she longed to join as a youth the post kil jaeden quel danas is a hive of activity and optimism as sindorei and queldorei work to rebuild and cleanse the place of the demonic taint she refuses to get involved in factional politics but arcane arguments are a different matter on quel danas she is found among a group of magisters and arcanists each arguing over who should gain possession of the recently cleared out magister s terrace her argument i helped to exterminate the vermin in the place so i should get a stake in administering it when i get my rooms at quel danas my books are coming with me in dalaran neve begins a mage quest chain that ends in the mage learning how to port to both quel danas and wyrmrest temple a final quest explores the possibility of a portal to coldarra yet in the end she concludes that the ley lines surrounding the nexus have yet to completely stabilize rendering a portal unusable for the time being come on celindra it can t be that difficult to get a portal open to the sunwell tomakan the voice of reason a draenei who sincerely believes in the words be kind to those less fortunate tomakan has seen everything the length and breadth of azeroth to him the greatest danger to the world doesn t reside in what s left of twilight s hammer or even the horde but in one of azeroth s most vexing races gnomes the hand of argus is firmly convinced that somehow somewhere some pint sized engineer wannabee is going to be the person who accidentally opens a portal for the burning legion to enter the world and if he can help it that fate is not going to happen on his watch therefore in a supreme act of sacrifice he has taken up residence around the outskirts of gnomeregan in a mostly vain attempt to guide the gnomes research away from anything resembling portals or dark knowledge he is a quest giver who has an engineer make certain items to give to the gnomish engineers nearby giving the trinket headslap of the light as a reward and in comic sans too that trinket s special ability is to stun an enemy by a slap to the head posted by redbeard at 2 52 pm 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels memes miscellaneous monday june 11 2012 allow me to introduce myself my name is mud and remember mud spelled backwards is dumb bugs bunny leveling an affliction warlock via bgs has been for the most part an exercise in patience you die a lot and i do mean a lot you also lose a lot yes i do realize that when you run as many bgs as i have you are going to have your share of losses but in the low level bgs especially clothies are rogue and hunter chow when that happens in a 10 10 game such as warsong gulch you re essentially giving the other team a few more players advantage in the current environment of random bgs unless you ve managed to use cross realm grouping or you ve got a bunch of guildies with alts at the right level you re pretty much stuck with what you draw most of the time you get players with different strategic and tactical ideas and that can translate into shouts and recriminations on bg chat sometimes however you get lucky i ported into eye of the storm in time to hear someone ask what the map was about i haven t done this one before the warrior said oh oh i thought a dk and myself ran over the basics capture your bases try for a third and to control the middle to get the flag and i mentioned to call out incs incs sorry i don t know the lingo incoming didn t this person know anything well i d been there before so i wasn t going to judge but this certainly didn t look good okay the game started out well very badly we were quickly overwhelmed at the draenei ruins while most of the team went to the mid then when everybody from the mid came running to dr the horde swept into the mage tower we very quickly found ourselves down by 500 points before we stabilized things go to fr fr is empty another dk was yelling we need bases to catch up i found myself at dr at that point so i could only watch at first while three people got ahead and managed to take the fr to gray the horde then moved en masse from the blood elf tower to fr let s go i yelled be is empty turned out that was a temporary situation as a horde rogue and shaman reached there just as i did i feared them as much as i could but i got swept under by too many ccs from the rogue fortunately 3 or 4 fellow alliance had followed me over and we were able to capture that base the situation remained fluid the horde had built a lead with three bases and capturing the mid but they abandoned that to try to farm kills over on our side of the field and capture both mt and dr the horde got dr and the fr briefly flickered back to horde red let s go get mt the newbie warrior yelled we ve got mt i corrected we need dr back sorry this is still new to me it was then that a rogue piped up this bg has been around since patch 2 1 how can you not know about this bg we still had a chance at this game but if we were going to dissolve into bg drama it was going to slip away look i said the dude is probably new i m not a dude the warrior replied and i am new i looked at the warrior s masculine name and decided to let it go i thought about mentioning the number one rule of mmos but i decided it wasn t even worth it we weren t able to retake dr but suddenly fr flickered to gray and then to alliance blue we had a 3 1 edge for the first time and we also had the flag but the horde also had less than three minutes remaining and we were down by 300 points we re not out of it yet i called out from mt as we captured the flag if we capture the flag a couple more times we may pull this off our shaman picked up the flag again and took off toward mt with two horde hot on her heels i mounted and intercepted them all using howl of terror to scatter them as she slipped free to capture the flag the rest of the crew at mt swept onto the two horde as i climbed back to mt and cast my dots from there down by 100 points and we were closing fast with a minute and a half left then fr flickered into gray crap fr the newbie warrior led the charge to dislodge the horde from fr as our feral druid picked up the flag and raced toward the same area 40 seconds don t cap until we get fr back i yelled 30 seconds 20 i could only watch from mage tower as the drama unfolded come on i muttered come on 15 10 fr turned blue and the feral druid captured the flag cheers erupted on our side we did it wooo i whispered to the newbie warrior that she did a good job but she d already ported out well if a certain newbie warrior happens to come across this post i ll raise a pint to you you acquitted yourself well and didn t rise up and take the flamebait either i m also not too proud to admit that my initial impression of that team proved to be wrong after all i ve never been happier to be called mud unless they have locks that can be rogue chow too and your side has rogues who aren t afraid to take advantage of that nobody knows your gender unless you volunteer it and sometimes not even then posted by redbeard at 8 54 am 8 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday june 4 2012 fear and loathing in hellfire well the wow verse seems to have righted itself once more as crowds in org and stormwind are back to pre d3 release levels roughly 50 or so on an average night in an evenly split server i suppose you could post a list on a wall and throw darts at which is the best explanation why the crowd is back and you d have as good a guess as any pundit but it wouldn t shock me if some folks burned through d3 and are simply back to their normal routine i ve been avoiding roving bands of rated bgers and have been back to leveling my affliction warlock adelwulf thanks for the kick in the pants cynwise and as soon as i hit l60 i noticed a change in the ol furball there weren t any new spells to be learned but suddenly attacks started having a bit more punch at first i thought it was due to the buying spree on heirlooms that i went on but when i swapped them out for outland clown gear tm i discovered there wasn t much of a dropoff at all i guess the tuning for locks has finally begun to kick in in a moment of weakness i decided to queue up for a random outland instance so i could spend the intervening time farming herbs and leveling alchemy that kind of backfired because i found myself in hellfire ramparts before i could make even one circuit of hellfire peninsula one thing about a lock especially an affliction warlock is that you re used to bringing up the rear in the damage meters in a regular 5 man instance by the time those dots kick into gear the mob is gone the bosses will at least stick around long enough for a lock to update their dots a few times but that s not a recipe for high overall dps however this time i was able to pull off damage that left me somewhere in the middle of the pack not too bad having run bgs almost exclusively as a warlock i had to consciously choose not to do some things while in an instance for example during the pulls up to watchkeeper gargolmar a second mob swept down on our shammy i was closest to her but my instinctual reaction howl of terror would have been disastrous there were simply too many other mobs plus gargolmar nearby to risk using it instead i spammed hellfire to draw aggro then kite the mob back to the tank this i grumbled will have to take some getting used to another strange thing about this ramparts run was the complete and utter absence of dks in the group a prot warrior a ret pally a resto shaman and a fire mage were my compatriots the cluelessness you get from dks in these outland instances was still present however in the form of the ret pally almost immediately after he d complimented the shammy on the good job she d been doing he rolled need on a healer neck drop and beat out the shammy in the ensuing roll that s a healer item the shammy pointed out the ret pally was nonplussed yeah he agreed it s ms before os or so i thought that s why there s dual talent specialization my brain melted into a gibbering pile of goo of all the i began to type but then bit it back i m embarrassed that my main shares a spec with that guy i whispered the shammy who whispered a smile back there s just something in the water about the hellfire citadel instances that causes people to act like jerks all of my cloth heirlooms are back in neve s bank on a 52 and i wasn t planning on spending money to move them besides i had all this honor that i was racking up and had to blow it on something but it does make for a pug story something i ve not had in months posted by redb...
