I need to check my in-game calendar more often. Kady told me about the Trial of Style event and oh man! You queue for a scenario at a transmog dude, then go in with several other people. You are given a category and dress up for it.
I had the worst time getting 1st place as leather, but cloth was easiest.
Overall a fun cute event, even if most people have absolutely no taste in clothing, at all. During one scenario three people queued up totally naked, and two of them won that way. Lame.
Do you remember in Cataclysm, that you could finish a quest where the rewards were mail, leather, and plate, and you were a clothie? Well I do. I thought that was all gone with smart loot but it’s somewhat back again.
For instance, I really need gear on my resto druid and new hunter. I did my first emissary box. What did it give me? Oh, a relic I COULDN’T EVEN USE. So I did another quest, and another. Both gave me life relics and I haven’t even opened that slot yet. So dang annoying. My druid had the same issue where she got 3 relics in a row that didn’t belong to any spec I play (feral or resto). UGH.
This guy was just funny.
He sells a Black Rose off-hand item. As far as I could tell you can’t do anything with it, not actually talk to the girl he’s obsessing over though. Apparently I needed to buy 13 of them.
The mid-summer fire festival is without a doubt my favorite event in World of Warcraft. Even if I’m not trying to fight horde putting out our fires, it’s fun to fly around the entire world(s) and look at everything. Of course I didn’t bother until the last minute, forgetting just how long it takes to do each continent. I did pick up the new pet though.
Then I attempted to hit a Tauren paladin who was hovering in the air above our fire, and he promptly came down and took me to almost dead in a few hits:
We’re having fun, aren’t we? 800k crit, 500k regular hit. My health pool is 3 million. Math.
For some reason, I can’t find a single reference to the rogue Shaco, who I met several expansions ago. I usually write about any regular encounter with pvpers in the world, but not a single thing about this guy. I could only find this screenshot.
As I recall, we ran into each other probably back in Cataclysm, where he use to kill NPCs in the Eastvale Logging Camp. I fought him on my priest and, my memory is fuzzy. I more than likely died to him when I played shadow priest, but that was typical. He most certainly didn’t kill me when I was discipline. We tangled a few times but it must not have been worthy of an entry because I can’t find a thing.
Anyway, I’ve had him on my btags (Fooja) list for a while now. Only, he’s been rude on par with Holystab on a regular basis lately, with making grandiose claims about how often and how badly he used to beat me in the world (I would have written about it), and how he one-shots everyone these days, on all his characters, everywhere. Including beating 2400+ rated rbg players.
I was commenting about the good old Halaa days and how many tokens my hunter still has (over 100) and that got a “is that it?”. Well I threw a lot away and used some for mounts. In Holystab fashion I got one-upped with “I bought all those in BC” (mind you he writes in 12 year old broken text-speak I just can’t be bothered to duplicate it) and “who cares about Halaa”. I went on to talk about all the fun fights we had out there and got “Whisperwind is stupid”. Then he went on and on about farming people, how stupid easy arena is, how he’s going to tell his 2’s partner ‘he trash’ and then he’ll get kicked out of a guild he’s been in for years but ‘i dont rly care lol’.
I’ve easily had them on btags for years but being constantly insulted like ‘I’m guessing you went to Halaa and waited 6 hours for 1 player’ and then made-up stories about how he beat me and some hunter (what?), well, I don’t need this shit. It’s not often I remove people but this is absurd.
