6v6 in Westfall?

Jan29

I got into a 6v6 out by Saldean’s Farm the other day, Ravenshield came with, and randomly joined a few other players.  Unfortunately the spriest, warlock, and paladin were no good, and kept engaging the horde nowhere near where I was.  I won’t break stealth to run after you, especially when I said where I was waiting.

However a hunter doing a considerable amount of damage, named Skittles (Alanis) joined, and ended up adding them to my list.  A ‘not a guy’ for once, but under 20 as per usual.  Either everyone who plays this game is a teen, or some real lying is going down.

Ashran, unfortunately had some changes for the worst.  They put in gladiator mobs at the end of the bridges to the boss, which have more health than Fangral or Kronus, and respawn constantly when it’s not “time” to kill the boss.  And the boss is on a 30 minute timer now.  So if you happen to summon captains or Fangral at the wrong time, these glad mobs eat them alive and you are screwed.  Awesome.

We had maybe 10 alliance in raid this morning, when usually it was a full raid or two.  Just awful.

 

And pet battles.  Sigh.  FIGURES.

But never doing this again.

Weirdest Rage Tell Thus Far

Jan23

A level 97 rogue was killing npcs in Honor Hold, and then harassing people at the towers.  I went feral to try to deal with it but he kept bouncing around on his flying mount, only landing long enough to see someone make a move and then flying off.  Ok well whatever.  All I could do is drop a moonfire or two.

Then I got a random rage-tell from an alliance hunter basically “ha ha damn all you 100’s can’t get me LOL so sad HA HA HA”.

I dropped a MOLL-E and shot off an email expressing confusion over gloating about running non-stop.  You can’t really get over on someone by flying around in the air.

 

 

Then got into an argument with a stupid hunter who rage-quit the raid in Ashran because he didn’t like “the leader”.

Adding People Faster!

Jan18

Lately I’ve been adding people to my btag list faster than I can ever recall.  I need to write these down to remember the circumstances.

Hugs (Modakka), Dk I met when trying to find the Unborn Valk pet.  Ended up helping me look for one.

Ravenshield (Ravenshield), a warrior who commented on my paladins transmog as I stood around Stormshield, who helped me find a good 2 handed transmog (Claymore of the Prophet) then we did some bgs together.

Bunky (Crizunk), paladin who was cheeky in a dungeon I was healing on my druid, ended up talking a lot and doing some dungeons/bgs.  Started up healing contents to make horrible bgs a little less awful.

(Blackbeltkid) I forget the character name, but a shadow priest on Sargeras who helped my paladin kill a bunch of rares.

Stardancer (Star), a rogue who I met while questing on Sargeras who helped me quest.

Westmoreland (Okumsup), rogue I met on Sargeras who I PM’d telling him the group was full.  That led to a discussion about my name, the Korra show, and so on.

Shankashank (Xeno) Low level rogue I met on Whisperwind on my druid, who watched me kill a DK and a warrior who was attacking Darkshire.

 

Besides all that, bgs have been somewhat of a fuck story. Hunters are insane, DKs are insane, and CC is only different on casters, who got screwed.  Melee and hunters, all the same if not worse.  Then there’s crap like this in Ashran:

Where Horde on Whisperwind farms ALL the events, then summons 20+ captains and Kronus.

I still do enjoy my dances with rogues though.  Kited these two pretties all over the map.

Even stopped to root, cyclone and /dance with one 😉

 

Queue to Queue to Queue

Jan17

I get queues are needed but man.  I run to Ashran to queue.  That will take a while so I queue for a bg.  Those have been around 6 minutes lately.  Double-queued up, now what? Can’t do much of anything else because either can pop at any time.  They are supposed to fix Ashran at least, by making it be more like a bg and open more instances.  I’m sad about that though because I thought it would be a persistent zone like Wintergrasp, only open all the time, and only for your server.  I want to play with people that come all the time like the old days.

I met, SO many people that way.  Fratricide, Ladiesman, Acks, Whitescourge, Zukk, Perfide, Rexe, Sealgaer, Darkest, and, yeah. A lot.

Back to Being Bad

Jan16

I haven’t done any random battlegrounds in a while, but it’s bad.  I won’t say Alliance sucks, because I haven’t done it on horde, but man.  I went 1/5 yesterday, and the 1 was an AV we barely won.  We lost an IoC.  No joke.

Then went on to go 0/3 the next day too.  Sigh.
