staurant arrived 45 mins before our table would be free to give ample time to peruse the cocktail menu i went for a strawberry caprioska i d never heard of this before despite being someone who doesn t even particularly like vodka this is one of the nicest drink i have ever tasted it was purchased in true amateur style i saw the barman making a couple for some other patrons and promptly decided to have what they were having based on looks alone crushed ice strawberry lime with vodka absolutely delicious although does have a bit of a kick as stated nothing to do with wow but if you are ever looking for a cocktail its a fine starting point published in wow general on may 30 2010 at 12 08 leave a comment how to opt in like a pro while idly perusing mmo champion i came across this and promptly succumbed to dilemma overload when tbc and wotlk beta options came out i just ignored them i decided to wait and just see the new content with everyone else turned out it wasn t everyone else though just about everyone and their dog had a beta key well it felt like that anyway i promptly got fed up hearing about how good the new content was from those who got the beta keys i ll send you some screenshots too oh yes please do i d be lost without knowing how much fun you are having in every last graphic and pixellated detail the other side of it was people i was playing online with at the time especially tbc disappeared from the usual server we played on to the hip kid club server where only the chosen few well it seemed like chosen many to me were allowed to go so the social side of idly chatting while playing died a bit too of course when they did show up it was you wouldn t believe how good the new zones are let me tell you about well that s great i m really happy for you would you now just please shut the f ck up about the new expansion how do you tell a friend who is obviously excited and very positive about something that you are tired of hearing about it the answer has to be extremely bluntly or not at all i m pretty sure i did both at times once the expansions shipped those who had the beta keys became gurus oh the quest item yeah its round about x y next to the dead ice wombat thanks and watch out for the ice wombats its fine co ords were great they have this really nasty attack that paralyses you with tedium ok i ll find the rest out when i get there but they drop good amounts of gold that s enough now and have a 4 75 chance to drop a green shut up a 0 35 chance to drop a blue please shut up and a 1 chance to drop eternal components i hate you and they re skinnable arghhhhhhh what s that f cker s home address where is my axe and how soon can i get there every last detail given in a helpful manner whether you wanted it or not scratch that especially when you did not want it third time round and its the cataclysm beta send in your details to blizzard and if you are lucky a beta key will be yours so along with getting access to the shiny new content first the real deal about having a beta key is the ability to show off you also have the chance to ostracize your close friends in the short term and seriously piss off what remaining friends you have further down the line when you decide to be helpful this should be and can be avoided it just needs to be managed properly there is no point in having a beta key if no one else knows how you are one of the privileged and select few elevated by blizzard to a lofty position above the common masses to be fair you probably already suspected this was the case but its nice to see it finally confirmed by blizzard first thing is immediately place a post on your guild forums giving your name on the hip kid server so you can meet up with friends who are also there this ensures the common masses in the guild immediately appreciate your lofty new position second up is reinforcement when someone asks you if you want to join for any sort of group do point out how you were just about to go off to the beta servers but you don t mind helping out you ll just go to the beta servers later this reminds them of your lofty position demonstrates you remain a benevolent type offering help and guidance when you would rather be doing something else and allows you store a favour in the bank for later manipulation thirdly when absent for a while log back on and announce in guild chat how you are sorry you haven t been about much but you have been busy with the beta and ask what s been happening ignore the answers what you are looking for is some poor schmuck to ask you so what s it like you can now hold court while they hang onto to your every word grateful for the scraps of knowledge you generously bestow next is keep them hanging on don t give out all the info at once milk the situation for all you can maintain an air of mystery be the enigma if anyone asks you something you don t know or can t be bothered explaining just remind them under the terms of the nda you aren t allowed to tell make sure you say nda a few times it always sounds cool and professional lastly is bow out like a pro when the game does ship to the masses its time to prepare your exit you will have a couple of weeks while the rank and file play catch up but catch up they will you will need to compose an air of boredom you ve been there seen that done it all already and having done so its time to move onto the next big thing complain about the servers being too busy and all these people in the same zones causing lag no one can play properly like that besides you can mention you have just received a key to the new lotro expansion beta so you ll do that while things calm down with the noobs in the new zones and you ll let people know how its going so in the face of all this there is only really one question did i sign up for the beta key of course i did i m just not proud of it ps work intervenes again wont be about much for most of the next week published in philosophy wow general on may 15 2010 at 08 52 leave a comment that ain t no rogue boy for a few years my main was a shadowpriest and he s been getting ignored a bit for the past few months while i have been rogue ing it i decided to dust him off and take him out for a spin lets have a look at the purple one note firstly how he is not purple i took a few pictures with him in shadowform and they all looked awful so here we have a shadowpriest sans shadow i have always liked shadowpriests but no matter what they always look terrible and as soon as you get a great looking mount no matter which one it is it looks awful too this slideshow requires javascript the mounts in order were polar bear cenarion war hippogryph and frostwolf howler just in case all you saw were three variations of the random purple blob mount the polar bear was a particular woe of mine three months doing crappy daily quests in storm peaks for a random quets reward when i finally get it its a purple polar bear lets get one thing straight i don t mind the colour purple in fact i actually quite like it especially for gear if you get my meaning but it would be nice to have something that wasn t turned entirely purple the minute i get it anyway i digress having dusted down the shadow priest i tried an heroic or two and while i thoroughly enjoyed it it was fair to say my gear sucked mightily so i have embarked on a bit of a crusade to get him some better gear if you look at the rss feed from my armory its all tarsis this and tarsis that that s likely to be the way of things for the next couple of weeks while i try for badge gear i m not giving up on the rogues but they will be taking a back seat for a short while last week i was hanging around waiting for the dungeon finder to inflict me on some poor souls who deserved better when some one in the guild decided to organise an onyxia 10 player i haven t done onyxia since it was a 40 player event so i decided to give it a go i know this is a bit close to raiding but hey ho sometimes i do give it a shot having dealt with onyxia after a few silly wipes and lots of cries of more dots and 50 dkp a bit close to the bone when you remeber this i decided i was on a roll and when they said lets go for a trial of the crusader 10 player event i agreed to tag along tarsis can you switch to healing spec for this one ehmmm that would be a no i haven t healed since pre tbc and have very much adopted the atitude of can t heal won t heal and don t heal since then if its a question of me healing or you dying i just hope you have exalted rep with the repair merchant of your choice anyway we tracked down a real healer and went for toc 10 we struggled on the beasts and were all set to call it a night when we managed to down them we 2 shottled the worms and one shotted everything else i bagged a few upgrades seeing as nobody else would sully themselves with mere i232 gear and besides we were somewhat caster light that night the main reason i got fed up with the shadow priest was that for a dps class the dps was kind of low that s been addressed to a fair bit and mind sear makes the class a lot more fun to play on trash mobs too in the past i got somewhat fed up with having low dps as the mobs were dead by the time i d finished casting my dots and they had hardly ticked at all that seems to have much improved by having mind sear for multiple trash and a proper rotation for boss fights with a few improvements in gear i should be verging on reasonable i ll probably add some shadow priest flavour to the blog on an ongoing basis unless i get bored with the class again and we ll see how it goes from there so meantime it will be rogues and shadow priests for any purists out there tough published in blog updates wow general on may 10 2010 at 18 20 leave a comment spring cleaning i hoard all kinds of rubbish in my bank slots its bound to be useful at some point better hold onto it is my mantra resulting in finding 3 characters and a bank alt all had full banks and full bags i went over it last week and finally admitted it was probably in all likelihood just crap i was carefully holding onto such useful things as a stack of peacebloom 1 nightmare vine 3 motes of earth 1 mote of water 7 linen cloth etc etc with cataclysm on the horizon it really was time for a clean out i started listing it in the ah last week and i m about 1k gold up already turns out there are people out there prepared to buy up rubbish the big gain isn t so much the extra gold but the freed up bag space i ll be able to start off cataclysm with the plenty of space and i ll just have to make sure i don t fill it up with more rubbish although i m sure i remember saying the same thing when both bc and wotlk came out too but i ll stick to it this time i promise honestly well possibly anyway my rule on this kind of transaction is sell it off cheap there aren t going to be that many people out looking for motes of earth so i try to make sure mine is the one that sells if something hasn t sold in 3 listings its time to vendor it so there are people out there who can probably sell for more if they persevere long enough but my aim is more about clearing off bag space than anything else if i make a small profit at the same time that all to the good i m also not an ah goblin so the time spent listing and relisting has more value to me than the few extra gold i could make by hanging out a bit longer before vendoring i m sitting with about 50k currently between my 3 main characters so that should be plenty going into the expansion i may try to push it a bit more closer to the time but just now i m happy where i am i d recommend others start clearing out the bags too other people will have accumulated equivalent rubbish over the time and will probably try to ah dump in the near future which will drive the prices down lower so if you need to clear the bank space i d recommend now being a good time to sell good luck with it published in gold making wow general on may 8 2010 at 14 57 leave a comment raid changes for the less active raider shamelessly lifted from mmo champion as usual we re continuing to refine the raid progression paths in cataclysm and we d like to share some of those changes with you today please enjoy the first of the refinements being made is that we re combining all raid sizes and difficulties into a single lockout unlike today 10 and 25 player modes of a single raid will share the same lockout you can defeat each raid boss once per week per character in other words if you wanted to do both a 10 and 25 person raid in a single week you d need to do so on two different characters normal versus heroic mode will be chosen on a per boss basis in cataclysm raids the same way it works in icecrown citadel obviously the raid lockout change doesn t apply in pure icecrown terms though as this change goes hand in hand with a few other changes to raid progression in cataclysm i ve already seen this described as the death of raiding on a guild forum but i feel that is a bit of knee jerk reaction rather than a duly considered one to me its more of a levelling of the playing field between the larger and smaller guilds the smaller guilds who can only run 10 man raids will no longer be disadvantaged by 1 lockout per week where the larger ones managing a 10 and a 25 get the benefit of 2 i believe most of these changes are designed to ensure there is as little requirement as possible to be in a large guild we re designing and balancing raids so that the difficulty between 10 and 25 player versions of each difficulty will be as close as possible to each other as we can achieve that closeness in difficulty also means that we ll have bosses dropping the same items in 10 and 25 player raids of each difficulty they ll have the same name and same stats they are in fact the exact same items choosing heroic mode will drop a scaled up version of those items our hope is that players will be able to associate bosses with their loot tables and even associate specific artwork with specific item names to a far greater extent than today this just adds to what i have already said not even any major loot advantages for being in a 25 man raid over a 10 man one dungeon difficulty and rewards 10 and 25 player normal difficulty very similar to one another in difficulty drop the exact same items as each other 10 and 25 player heroic difficulty very similar to one another in difficulty drop more powerful versions of the normal difficulty items we of course recognize the logistical realities of organizing larger groups of people so while the loot quality will not change 25 player versions will drop a higher quantity of loot per player items but also badges and even gold making it a more efficient route if you re able to gather the people the raid designers are designing encounters with these changes in mind and the class designers are making class changes to help make 10 person groups easier to build running 25 player raids will be a bit more lucrative as should be expected but ...
