Text of the page (random words):
echo isles a direct threat has a way of motivating people far more than a vague come help us protect insert locality here and once the direct threat is over people who have had a taste of the adventuring life will keep going motivation solved but for me the real conundrum is also the class itself warlocks are going to want power mages could go for power or knowledge warriors have that military guard thing going and paladins have the knights of the round table vibe druids have nature as their motivation and hunters well you kind of get the idea there priests do have the tending the flock prosleytizing motivation too and shamans i could see as a rough equivalent to priests in that regard but rogues they re a puzzle especially once you try to combine a rogue and a night elf you d think that any night elf with rogue tendencies would have ended up in a darnassian jail cell and the same goes for a lot of the other races there are those who go for the secret agent angle but given that si 7 is primarily a human outfit the non human rogues really don t have an equivalent motivation until the alliance ones at least get a quest to go visit si 7 i suppose these speculations are all just that given that anybody can come up with a motivation and backstory for their character but it does serve to make me wonder why az does what she does and i can almost hear her say i do what i do because i m good at it intentionally deflecting any attempt at understanding her not to downplay those but i ve gone back and reread some of my old backstories from my pencil and paper rpg campaigns back in the day and boy do they make me cringe i may have thought i was being edgy but with the years of experience later what i thought was edgy was merely bad writing same with dwarves gnomes tauren etc posted by redbeard at 11 05 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels lotro mmos musings wildstar wow classic monday february 24 2020 we pause the blog for a special announcement a year ago on february 23 my friend and fellow wow swtor and neverwinter blogger shintar was married i can t tell you how happy i am to wish her a happy anniversary you know i m always surprised when i see a real pic of shintar that she doesn t have the cyber thingie over her head from shintar s twitter feed now go wish her on her blogs pick one they re linked above or her twitter feed i linked that on her name a happy anniversary posted by redbeard at 11 20 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels friends news wednesday february 19 2020 you knew this was coming when warcraft 3 reforged was released to a completely disastrous result here s the honest game trailer of warcraft 3 reforged posted by redbeard at 4 00 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels blizzard honest game trailers warcraft 3 reforged monday february 17 2020 i can handle low key the wow classic valentine s day event is pretty much low key which is perfectly fine with me you re wondering if the dwarf had forgotten about you and you re dressed like that lemme explain a few things about guys as far as i can tell there aren t any raids to deal with just general hijinks regarding giving the equivalent of valentine s day cards to people a few candy esque goodies and a rather simple quest chain that ends with a short epiphany on seeing through the purely physical to the soul of what it means to love i m not here to spoil the event but i will say that it was kind of a fun low key event that at worst had some temporary items that took up bag space not a big deal all around but a brief diversion nevertheless and yes i did burn the temp items as quickly as i got them because i wasn t about to lose out bag space for mats and other junk i can sell to vendors when i come back from questing instances i guess you could opine on how love doesn t require people to have well stuff to make love work people give candy and flowers for valentine s day all the time and those are at best temporary even jewelry isn t that important if you really love someone it s just an item that people don t frequently wear in their everyday lives when you really think about it but it s the thought that counts i suppose and that s what makes valentine s day meaningful to people and one piece of non stat gear formal wear which is great for roleplaying or just hanging around one of the major cities or goldshire i suppose unless it was an engagement ring given as a gift posted by redbeard at 5 25 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels holidays wow classic sunday february 9 2020 don t wait if you act now we ll add this free gear if there s one thing that stays the same in classic it s change or more specifically how i deal with guilds i d gotten used to getting invites to guilds as just part of the game i configured classic to auto reject guild invites but i would still get pings on the average of once a day and not from people nearby or during 5 man runs or other groupings but just random guild invites i treated those with politeness and if they responded in kind i made a point to not specifically block them the past few weeks however i ve seen a complete sea change in guild invites the guild invites from grouping have pretty much dried up for now but the randoms looking to fill out raid slots have spiked and since cardwyn is in the low l40s right now that means she s been getting no guild invites whatsoever the guild invites that az gets as she s sitting at l54 as of this posting include things like we ll help you get to l60 so you can raid with us even after i point out that raiding isn t my priority the guild invitees respond with we ve got raid gear for you and we ll run pvp battlegrounds as well now i ve not bothered to look at the needs for onyxia molten core and ubrs runs but i m pretty sure that rogues are kind of far down the list after all the best interrupt abilities of a rogue don t necessarily work with non humanoids and one of the other abilities expose armor interferes with a warrior s sunder armor and can cause a warrior tank to lose aggro during a fight flattered yeah sort of but i d rather not join a guild when they sound so obviously desperate besides i ve kind of made it known enough times that i m not that interested in joining a guild because of my history of dealing with guild drama i get that crap at work and i don t need it following me home to my hobbies as well on the flip side i do know at least one fellow player who is trying hard to find a guild that fits she has been in a few guilds but for some reason or another they simply don t work for her all she really wants is a guild that she can run instances with at max level and just relax and have fun but she hasn t found that yet i ve told her i ll keep an eye out but i ve not seen as many guild invites as before guild invites are one thing that has changed while another is that the auction house has changed yet again when az got her mount in the upper l40s one sure way to generate gold was make mageweave bags and sell them on the ah it wasn t a lot on myzrael but it was about 70 90 silver a bag silk bags went for about 40 50 silver which was pretty good now so among the fishing that az performed to get lockboxes and other assorted rarer fish used in cooking recipes i had cardwyn make a bunch of silk and then mageweave bags ship them over to az and have her sell them now that it s time for cardwyn to get her own mount however it looks like the mageweave and silk bag market has collapsed if anything it looks like the mats market is doing better than expected and i m going to have to study it for a while but it seems profoundly weird that i can sell bags to a vendor for more than what they re going on the ah right now runecloth is the major exception in the bag department because unless you re willing to go with mooncloth s pricing runecloth is the best you can easily get i do suspect that part of the reason for the bag market collapsing is that enough people have alts that can easily create bags now so there s not much of a need for bags from the ah it also seems the same thing happened with lower level cloth gear as i used to be able to sell some of that cardwyn made gear for a decent profit and that has collapsed as well so off to work on cardwyn s fishing skills i guess or start farming mats to sell on the ah i only had to block one guy who simply wouldn t give up and take no for an answer but in general they ve been a decent enough bunch watch me get one the day this posts it s just karma you know i m going off of the toons she creates as i ve not actually heard her in discord or something posted by redbeard at 10 08 pm 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels wow classic wednesday february 5 2020 on being a student of the game there s an american sports term that s frequently applied to players who take the time to learn the nuances of their particular sport a student of the game the term basically means that the player understands all aspects of a particular sport and uses it to their advantage the hidden implication however is that the particular player in question succeeds because of their applied knowledge rather than their raw physical skills i was thinking of this when i was in yet another scarlet monastery run on cardwyn the other day for myself and likely a lot of other people wow classic is familiar and comfortable you don t have to have top flight physical skills to do a passable job as dps in a dungeon and due to how the data structures were configured for vanilla and now classic the abilities of bosses in both dungeons and raids were somewhat limited compared to say wrath onward for a person like me who now qualifies for membership in the aarp this is a good thing dungeons such as the scarlet monastery instances reward tactical skill and not strictly physical skill you don t have to rely upon an mmo mouse such as the razer naga and then attempting to master it to do well in sm you need to know which baddie to kill first in a pack how to perform los pulls and the order in which you kill whitemane and mograine for the record it s him her her him none of that stresses your physical skills and for that i m eternally grateful given that i ve been wearing bifocals for most of the past decade and that i now require a magnifying glass for soldering electronics i ve been acutely aware of the gradual decline in my physical skills games that require tons and tons of button mashing in rapid fire fashion such as mobas or an action rpg such as diablo iii make my fingers and wrist ache after a short time inadvertent screw ups such as being late to an interrupt plague me more than before but a game such as classic is more forgiving of physical limitations especially given that i picked up the game at 40 from that perspective less is more and i can focus less on the mechanics and more of the game itself this isn t to be confused with university classes such as coaching basketball for those who are skeptical yes this is a thing particularly if your university major is in something such as physical education or sports management charlie coles the late basketball coach at miami university in oxford oh loved to teach that class and because charlie was a morning person he had that class scheduled as the first one of the day american association of retired persons to be a member you have to be age 50 you get some discounts at certain places but the aarp is most well known as a lobby for senior citizens issues it doesn t have the clout it did 20 years ago but it still does have some political power i d love to have a naga but my wife would not be able to cope with all the buttons we have a steel series sensei raw and while i love the mouse my wife forced me to lock most of the mouse buttons because she would constantly bump the buttons while using the pc and screw up her screen before you point out there are different profiles for mice i frequently play games with browers and whatnot running in the background because there are plenty of times when i m on the pc and she comes over and decides she wants to use it at a moment s notice so i discovered those profiles were pretty useless so if i wanted to use a gaming mouse to the fullest i d need an entirely new pc which is a lot more than the cost of a mouse an ex coworker of mine is the father of a well known elite lol player and he told me once that his son figured he had only a few years to be at the top of his game due to the demand on the body and that he d likely be gone from playing competitively at the highest level by age 28 even discounting the fact that his son was playing at the highest level in competitive lol play you d figure that most of the top raiding guilds in mmos such as wow constantly tweak their raid lineups and retire people whose physical skills start to drop off in their 30s and 40s posted by redbeard at 11 00 am no
