Text of the page (random words):
hen we go back there to do achievements or finish up feelings of hatred rage and frustration well up within me i hate that shithole having said all that that feeling of dread dissipated as we got to ultraxion and we started learning the fight ultraxion s a great fight high dps requirements full focus and attention needed with some fun mechanics really enjoyed the fight and i look forward to doing it again next reset but that feeling i m afraid of spending another chunk of my life raiding an instance i despise two days later and i can take a step back and i realize that while i did find these fights easy i didn t actually hate them they just didn t do anything for me and flying around wyrmrest temple being on a gunship all these things just remind me of wotlk an expansion i m totally done with dragon soul feels like a wrath raid it lacks the depth of design and difficulty that i enjoyed in tier 11 and 12 in normal mode there was no sense of challenge or accomplishment with those first few kills i felt nothing i can only hope that the heroic modes are tuned better and are even more fun we didn t down ultraxion that night mainly due to ui issues from one of our healers but we did get our kill the next night as well as blackhorn i ll cover them in another post that tank was me in case there s any doubt dragon soul raid leading raiding raids tier 13 3 comments farewell to firelands posted by zelcandor in raids on november 29 2011 zelcandor engulfing flames inc oh lol raggy s already dead wait how did our shadow priest die mage she got hit by that bugged meteor paladin ah well she was gonna life grip us into its path anyway good thing we got her before she got us and with that tier 12 progression raiding came to an end for us we d spent the night wiping on heroic ragnaros yet again but the mood was good as much as we d read all the horror stories about heroic ragnaros being a guildkiller we ve always thoroughly enjoyed learning the fight and making progress on it a huge part of this is because we ve never had the lineup available to really go for the fight on our first night both our shadow priest and hunter had to drop out a the last minute due to real life we decided to give it a go anyway to see if our tactics were viable it was pretty fun to 8 man heroic ragnaros and learn as much of the fight as we could it was even more fun when our 8 manning actually yielded some results with our best attempt bringing ragnaros to 50 hp since then the story s been the same we clear all content and then have 2 nights on heroic ragnaros but always without our perfect raid comp lots of wiping ensues but hell we all have fun we all learn and last night was so sweet on our last attempt we executed the fight perfectly we got ragnaros to 42 and wiped on the 3 rd wave of molten seeds our aim was to bring ragnaros to the second transition before that third wave of seeds unfortunately our warlock wasn t available and our 10 th dps had just joined the guild never having set foot in heroic firelands and thus was a little undergeared compared to the rest of us but fun was had by all and we ended the night with a rather messy but funny normal mode kill and so that s that no more firelands for a while patch 4 3 is here and it may be that we can t raid as often as we d like to due to our members going off on vacations or visiting friends and family i think most people will have become thoroughly sick of firelands by now but personally i feel a bit of regret at not having more time with heroic ragnaros i know i know we haven t even seen phase 3 or 4 yet and it could have given us a lot of grief but we ll never know what we do know is we ve wiped on heroic ragnaros a lot and thoroughly enjoyed it i guess it s strange to start with a review of firelands raiding at the end but there you have it our first couple of months of firelands raiding were pretty rocky we d just come off the back of an unsuccessful guild merger and were hemorrhaging players we d decided that we could no longer do 25 mans it was just too much work and we didn t have the playerbase for it anymore especially with the lofty standards of play we wanted to reach we tried running 2 groups of 10 mans but that was causing a lot of unhappiness i had to take an extended break due to real life a break that resulted in my stepping down as gm and as one of the guild rls and then a bigger blow the only other experienced rl had to step down due to real life serendipitously this co incided with my return to the game and i was back in the rl hot seat a role i d traditionally run away from due to the simple fact that i just never thought i was all that good at it returning to raid leading was rocky my real life was kind of a mess at the time and i wasn t sleeping properly or even emotionally up to the task of resuming raid leading but i sucked it up and did it anyway and you know what i hated firelands it was shit i wasn t familiar with any of the trash and patrol routes i thought it was retarded as hell to have to clear half the trash just to summon the first boss half the time i mispulled and wiped the raid because i was so impatient i grudgingly had to admit that tanking riplimb was pretty fun in the shannox fight but still i hated it beth tilac was okay simple tank and spank fight from my perspective but still i hated it rhyolith gave me a headache i couldn t see shit i was constantly running into magma lines adds were a pain to tank and no one seemed to understand how to steer the sonnofabitch i hated it alysrazor was an exercise in frustration on the surface it had looked to be fun with tanks doing 1000 more damage in practice it was another fight where i couldn t see shit and was constantly dying due to running out of range of the healers and let s not even start with those goddamn tornadoes i hat actually you probably get the idea by now baleroc and staghelm were fun in their own way but then came ragnaros i hated it most of all it was a long fight and i just didn t ever engage with the tactics the raid had come up with in my absence they just didn t make sense to me and for those first few weeks i just handed over raid leading to our mage and stumbled through the fight hoping for the best but why the hate it s not really that bad is it i mean some of the fights suck but it s no icecrown citadel don t get me started on that shithole or well maybe that ll be an interesting future post well in retrospect i realise that what i hated was that i wasn t really in charge i d come back from a break and in my absence my fellow raiders had cleared all of firelands on normal mode i was the raid leader and while i d read up on every fight 10 ways to sunday i had no idea about our specific tactics for firelands and because of that i hated it and just couldn t engage with the fights as well as i should have i hated posting tactics and assignments only to find out that they weren t how we d been doing the fight so far that our tactics were different i hated explaining some things only for my raiders to correct my assumptions about the fight i hated having to figure out if i should stick with what everyone knew or change things to tactics i was happy with in the end it was half and half some fights i changed things here and there to make them work for me others i left alone but as time passed things changed real life began to settle down and i stopped being quite so moody and unstable we started heroic modes and suddenly i felt that fire and excitement at having to come up with tactics and progress with my guildies again now don t get me wrong our heroic mode tactics are in no way all down to my strategic genius or anything like that the moment we dropped down to 1 x 10 man team our raiding changed it became a lot more collaborative and all my tactics are is a blueprint a starting point we go in see how we do with what i planned and then we fine tune and adjust to make the fight work i also enjoyed that we started to work on our glory of the firelands raider achievements whittling away at it until we got it done goddamn alysrazor and her bloody tornadoes in the end i ll miss heroic shannox and the intricacies of the dance that myself and my fellow tank do to lose our stacks i ll miss the tense vent chat of heroic beth tilac as we communicate and do our best to keep things controlled in phase 1 i ll really miss our hunter calling out in annoyance and frustration that spiderlings are coming from the same side yet again while he valiantly tries to make sure he gets every broodling i ll miss the fun of picking up all the adds on heroic rhyolith and dancing between magma lines and aoe slowing the slimes actually no scratch that i ll always hate this goddamn fight i ll miss topping the meters on heroic alysrazor while in full dps gear and my healers shouting at me to stop being a nub and put on my proper tanking gear it s such a pity i only started to appreciate and enjoy firelands at the end ah well we ll be back soon enough we still have 2 dragonwraths to complete firelands glory heroic raid leading raiding raids tier 12 1 comment what i hate about introductions posted by vortie in uncategorized on november 27 2011 i find them utterly boring that s all there is to it while i do think it s useful to know something about the author of a text in order to better understand the message a dedicated introduction post is such a turn off for me i figured i d take the blizzard approach on this matter of introductions learn by playing or in this case by reading besides even if i started explaining who i am and what i think or believe i d probably get it all wrong i ve found people s opinions of themselves tend to be more or less inaccurate and i think the information you d expect in an introduction post is best conveyed between the lines of posts dedicated to something altogether different actually screw that i ll tell you something about myself right here internal conflict i like graphic illustrations such as the one below they give a lot of information at a quick glance like this particular picture says basically all of the above i shall call it the tl dricon anyway i think this was supposed to be a wow blog or something so i ll give it a go it s funny actually i m writing a wow blog although i don t really even enjoy it so much these days it s like a blind guy writing articles about movies in other words totes awesome what i hate about world of wacraft heroics oh the drudgery i mostly run dungeons as a dps so here s basically how it goes join the queue spend 30 minutes fishing and waiting for the queue to pop i never really fish i just want to sound more productive than i really am join the pug hell spend the entire dungeon hoping it ll be over soon and you can get your vp repeat lol raids undivided attention for more than 3 hours anyone who knows me knows that 3 hours of focusing on one thing is just not my style back when i raided i had to keep spamming the raid chat to get the required division of focus 2v2 arenas 40 minute matches that end in a tie need i say more rated battlegrounds wait nevermind i actually like those professions grinding materials for x hours to get y item and ditch it the next patch yay now i must say i ve been a victim of all of the above during my 5 years of world of warcraft or is it 6 who s counting i know my credit card is okay let s try and stay on the topic i ve been a part of a few raiding guilds really just the same guild collapsing a reforming mostly in raiding guilds the main activities are raiding and heroics and i used to enjoy them alright i think i stopped liking them because bilzzread sucks 2day or maybe i just like different things also done my fair share of arenas never really reached any proper rankings but i think i have the 300 victories achi some on alts as for professions i grinded archeaology until i got the pattern for the sandstone drake and then i grinded the materials for it oops either way i figured i d tl driconify this one as well alors voilà ps i know it s just arranged text but hey try making those using a typewriter they re pictures anyways why am i writing this blog well zel and i thought it d be fun to write something from the perspective of someone who s not enjoying the game right now and i also thought it d be nice to have someplace for me to write about other shizzle i m into voilà l introduction pss also they re jpegs 5 comments insight into the drunk tank s blogology posted by zelcandor in personal on november 25 2011 the drunk tank and the vorty priest meet in darnassus to talk weighty matters such as the global recession the occupy wall street movement and michael bay movies hai gusy yes an inteligent introduction to our blog bask in my maturity i kind of wanted to avoid doing an introduction post as i m just very bad at them however i m stuck there s a whole bunch of things i want to blog about ranging from upcoming content to current content encounter design speculation and of course warrior tanking but the more i sat down to try and write about this stuff the more i thought it lacked context you need to know a bit about me where i m from what i m doing etc so an introduction of sorts is in order dammit just what i wanted to avoid so taking it from the top i started playing wow at the start of tbc and i have always been a tank and a damn good one pride i play a warrior on the sha tar eu a low pop rp server i love tanking and the warrior class i ve gone dps every now and again but frankly my dps isn t anything worth writing home about i do above average dps but as it s not my main spec so i never get to practice outside of the occaisonal 5 man heroic and therefore just don t really care about topping the meters as a good little dps should do i ve been an officer in the top guild on my server and then gm of the guild that formed after that guild disbanded my guild is called immortalis and after running it for 2 years while also doing all the raid leading i finally got to the point where i didn t have the time or motivation to do so anymore so i stepped down as gm became a regular member and more recently an officer again throughout my time in immortalis i ve pretty much always been the raid leader and main tank for better or worse right now immortalis has a bunch of server first achievements which i ll go into in another post that s achievements not realm first boss kills we ve completed our glory of the cataclysm raider glory of the firelands raider killed sinestra gotten to 6 7 heroic in firelands and are currently progressing on ragnaros heroic i m happy with our progress though we are behind some of the other guilds on the server i m aiming to be a lot more aggressive in terms of progression when 4 3 comes along but again something for another post no longer being gm has given me some more free time and decreased my stress load to the point where i actively have time to do other stuff there is a running joke in my guild about my drunkeness ...
