Wellp. Alliance and dead frogs

Aug12

Playing either solo queue, or with a group as Alliance has not changed that I recall when I first started tearing my hair out about it some years back.  It’s still pretty horrible with probably a good 60% if not more in losses.  Or in this game, a tie.

I think the game knows I’m working on a feral set, so has granted me nothing but crushing losses the last 3 days, and even a loss or two in AV.   The other players in a losing EotS were screaming that it was the healers fault, but sorting by damage and seeing the top 10 players all be horde, well ok.

 

In other news, Deadfrog is now a GNOME and on Emerald Dream! huh!  We shall evil priest the world together!

NERF FERAL

Aug7

That druid in WG, ugh.  Otnealy.  I can’t kill him, just can’t.  I heard almost nothing can kill a good feral and I see why.  I got him down to perhaps 20% and he just healed to full like he had a LoH.  Ugh.  Frustrating.

Did some raids tonight with Time Lords and picked up the heroic mace from the Lich King, it’ll look nice with a mostly white set. WoWScrnShot_080714_094015

 

Also spend some time in Darkshire, since someone was spamming attacks like crazy.  Ended up killing Adacel, that warlock a couple of times, then a rogue showed up.  I believe I died once, got them a few more times with some other alliance.  But then Dedd, who was also in Evil Heart, showed up on his mage and thrashed me pretty good.

Later we moved out to Westfall in Moonbrook and a monk joined.  Apparently it was a “kill Coquette party” as they called it and called me a traitor.  I went in vent to talk a bit though.  Ocyla, my priest, who I was playing has never been horde so there’s no traitoring going on exactly.   I grouped with 2 other ally and we beat them in a fair 3v3 but, as Alliance do, they left soon after.  I was left with me vs 3 and commented “and that’s how you get ants”.

It was overall a pretty busy day for wpvp.  I killed Eklipz, that awful rogue in Hellfire, and he came back with a DK, and a warlock, and tried to kill me while I was mostly afk in the air a bunch of times.  Busy busy day!

 

Well fine then /hairflip

So, I had agreed with Leorick from Of Hells Design to a 9:30 run tonight for the 6 Challenge Modes I need to finish for the transmog set.  Only…

Looks promising right?  (sarcasm)  I msg’d him, since you know, as a raider I get ready ahead of time.  I got “I told you it would be after the Garrosh kill, so if you can wait 20 minutes…”.  No, we agreed on 9:30, I don’t sit around and wait to pay someone 60k for something I healed myself over a year ago.  Thanks.  /HAIRFLIP!

Plus I watched their live stream last run and he crashed on the last boss in one of the instance so I’m not feeling it. Just not.  On top of all that by 10pm they were still in SoO raiding and 3 of the people in the group weren’t online.

PvP in Pandaria

Jul31

Unlike other areas of the game, you really don’t see areas in Pandaria being attacked much.  I tried to kill the Horde’s flight master on the wall, but it gave me “invalid target”.  But after they killed ours in the Shrine of the Seven Stars, I took a trip over to their shrine and easily killed theirs.  They have 393k hp ffs.  Unlike other flightmasters, they respawn almost instantly, even though when ours died she was gone for a while.  Anyway that was the first time I’ve tried it.

Paying for Challenge Modes

Jul30

I decided to pay some people to run me through the last 6 CM’s I need for the mount and transmog set.  I should have gotten that ages ago, but when we had a guild group capable of doing it, the twins (Silly and Duriel) decided to replace all of us.  Without telling us.

Anyway, I’m wearing nothing but prideful shadow gear at the moment so I’ve been banging out dungeons trying to get justice to replace my trinkets to start with.  I remember why I stopped doing pve.

First dungeon, panda tank is upset the paladin is tanking just fine.  Doesn’t do any dps the entire run.  Says he’s contributing his personality.  I reply “oh, so is that what you call being an asshole?”

Next dungeon, boomy goes afk after the first boss.  Try to kick, can’t, 2 mins left.  1 minute left.  Try to kick, it fails but everyone swears they didn’t select no.  Druid goes offline.  Try to kick, 2 mins left.  Siiiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

So basically 2 dungeons in a row 4 manning it.  Yes, I know, it’s faceroll.  But help out, or GTFO.  That’s my motto.
