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.

 

The Things I Lost

Oct17

Apparently there is no more World Defense channel, so I have no way of rushing to areas being attacked, which is something I loved to do.  Sadface.

Wintergrasp and Tol Barad are no longer on the queue list.  You can’t see when the next battle is without going to that zone.  Another thing I can tick off my list that I can’t do.

There is no more Call to Arms for battlegrounds.  No more looking at the list and spam queuing for one you know a lot of other people will be doing.

I had to change faces on all my characters, since the default switch didn’t make me look the way I wanted. WoWScrnShot_101614_135530WoWScrnShot_101614_135845

This update was supposed to bring in soloable raids, I just thought it would be easier than it was.  I got up to Spine in Dragon Soul but died to Morchok more than a few times because his stomp was taking half of my health, even if I ran away and blinked as it was coming.

That Ugly Drake!

Sep3

Today I finally finished Glory of the Dragon Soul Raider.  I would have gotten it some years back, but the achievement for the airship was bugged or something.

I wasn’t going to do it at all either.  The first 4 bosses were down, the person inviting didn’t mention that. One hunter randomly dropped after the airship.  I lost power but amazingly didn’t get kicked, and was able to come back in, ask them to wipe (since one of them was dead anyway) and got a Deathwing kill besides all that.

Now I have the ugly drake!

DragonSoul is Not to Be

Sep1

I wanted the Deep Earth set for my pve transmog, but trying anything on a monday is a horrible idea.  The first one we wiped on Morchok 2 times on 25m heroic and I was the only healer.  Then a priest went disc and did 10% of the healing.  I left that when it was clear everyone was undergeared, even for DS and not going anywhere.

Then I got in on a normal 25m spine run hoping to at least get in a group that made some progress.  Nope.  Wiped twice and left.

Wasn’t even worth it, clearly didn’t know what they were doing, and no one seemed to care one of the warriors didn’t seem remotely interested in getting to the raid.  Oh well.  Maybe tomorrow.

Griefers in LFR

Nov6

Tried LFR on my pally, won a belt and someone gave me dps shoulders later on, but that wasn’t the fun part.

During Fall of Deathwing there was a priest by the name of Healuranus from Stormrage who appeared to be trying to jump off the edge in Ultraxion.  I think I said something about it, not realizing what they were trying to do at the time.  During the boat I made a comment that priests are ‘douches’ which they told me to take back and I refused on the grounds that I have a priest.  And in pvp, I’m quite a bit of a jerk, no lie.  Nothing outside of skill mechanics, but tearing off pally wings, mage ice block, hero, pally bubble, MCIng people off edges, is all somewhat jerky,. but fun and it helps my team win. Anyway.

On Spine they demanded I ‘take it back’ and I said no make me, and they threatened to then throw me off the edge if I did not. I said no and go ahead what do I care.  Being dead and carried is ok with me.  He dragged me off the edge and I died.

Then continued on to threaten the other priest with being thrown off the edge if they didn’t hand over the crown token they won.  They did not so they were tossed over the side, only the priest was able to get back up and dragged Heal down, but he didn’t die either and got back up.  I was rezzed at some point and that priest threatened to throw the tanks to their deaths if I didn’t recant my bit about douche priests. I commented that it was difficult to take back a comment about a priest being a douche when said priest has shown without a doubt that they are an epic douchebag.

So, the tank was dragged to  his death.  We completed that fight anyway, but were unable to kick the guy when he started Madness when no one was ready, and dragged at least 2 other people off the edge before we wiped and kicked.  He was reported by some people and I did one.  It didn’t bother me per se, being carried dead to a kill is fine, but you shouldn’t be allowed to get away with that behavior.

Anyway we went on to wipe on Madness 3x before I gave up.

That priest for the record, had no glyphs, no enchants, was gemmed with green quality cata gems, no belt buckle, and ilevel 380.  I don’t think any random person I armory is ever geared correctly.
