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.

Rogue Rolodex

I ran into a new friend, another rogue named Stardancer, on Sargeras on my paladin.  Someone was looking for help with some rares, and I joined in.  We cleared a bunch in Spires of Arak and did some quests, and parted ways.

 

Only the next day, what do you know, ran into the same rogue again.

Grouped up again, and got called “cute” because I did a Lay on Hands when he was almost dead.  Added a friend after that.  Then today, ran into them randomly out in Nagrand, shortly before I hit 100.

One thing about Sargeras though.  It’s a pvp server, only it doesn’t appear that Alliance want to pvp.  Horde can be attacking a town, like here:

And it’s just “stop crying” and “who cares”.  Weird.

Then I also have Kuraha – Ghostlands, who I met back on my priest in Outlands, who figured out that we can cross our servers again by going to dead places, like Molten Front in Hyjal.  We use to see each other almost everywhere but now our servers don’t phase anywhere but obscure areas.  I really don’t get CRZ sometimes.

You made me bleed my own blood!

Once in a while I run into a player I try so hard to beat, I end up moving talents around or even changing keybinds.  I ran into two shaman the other day like this.  I can’t remember the first persons name, but it was out in Darnassus.  Even when I engaged them, with all my CDs up, I could not kill them.  We fought for about 5 minutes until I went OOM (as feral!!!) and I had to run away.

I spec’d incarnation since I was using treants for the people that like to run from me, and tried again.  At one point I hit him while he was at half health from all the guards.  NOPE.  Still couldn’t do it.  I even had to move Skull Bash to a key I could hit faster to try to cut down on the quick heals they were able to do.  I was doing like 22k fero bites, on a crit, even perfectly set up.  It was frustrating.

Then later I ran into THIS guy repeatedly.

I did get one kill, but it was so insanely ridiculous to do so, that I btagged them and said “I give up”.  Here’s me giving up.

World pvp can be a mixed bag because you are allowed to use any number of crazy items during it.  Gliders, those wings that let you escape combat for miles, nets, bombs, shields, mind control devices, etc.  Can’t always tell what they just did, either.
