Dragonsoul 25m Heroic

Jan20

I ran Dragon Soul the other night to get Gurthalak, Voice of the Deeps (get it, DPS!) which I think looks lovely with my transmog.

Ravenshield helped me do that, and practically solo’d spine. I died from 50% to dead in those tentacle stuns. Sigh.

That blood elf priest, Aerith something or other, keeps being an ass in Westfall. I reported them last time for what I guessed was the following workflow a few months back.

Queue up a dungeon. Wait for it to pop.

Kill quest npcs, causing player to be flagged for pvp.

Immediately take dungeon queue. Flag washes off.

Ditch dungeon (or bg), come back unflagged. Repeat.

Rejoice in the fact that no one can kill you unless super quick.

They were gone for a while, but I saw, and reported them again last night. They switched it up though.

Come to Westfall unflagged.

Penance Farmer Saldean to death.

IMMEDIATELY pop Spectral Guise (drops combat)

Immediately log out.

I’m still on the fence of the last step they are taking though. I’m pretty sure it’s a log out, because I pounce/raked her the second she flagged and she didn’t die even with 3 other 90’s dog-piling on her, so I think it’s a force log of some sort. She also doesn’t come back on kitty-radar after the duration of guise should be done.

You can kill the npcs all day long, that’s fine. Just don’t be a shit and avoid punishment by flaking game mechanics. Even bubble-hearth or that invincibility talisman requires you hearth and spend travel time coming back. What this person is doing isn’t proper.

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.
