OMG Kill it!

WoWScrnShot_072709_222351a Honey! Hurry, and bring a shoe or something.  I’m pretty sure this is the biggest bug I’ve ever seen!  

Ok, that’s the kinda shit that I find hilarious at 4am when I’m awake for no reason. 

Sifting through my wow screenshot folder is always a treat.  I never know what I’ve snapped pictures of along the way.  Here’s one of my baby priesty (who is 46 now wewt!)  

WoWScrnShot_080209_064819She looks like the cutting room floor of a Pixar studios, if animation studios actually had a cutting room floor.  Honestly.  The purple is my doing, I added it because at the time, it looked good with what I was wearing.  But really?  A yellow and aqua ankle length skirt?

 

 

It’s official, 3.2

I have really mixed emotions about this patch hitting today.  I’m looking forward to a few things in the patch, and honestly I think I’ll re-read the patch notes and maybe get re-excited about it.  Mostly, I’m kinda wishing it dropped next Tuesday instead of this.  We have the Retro Raid up and almost rarin’ to go, except I have to get another 14 levels on my priest.  And some people just rolled their toons, so you figure they are probably not going to be ready for 2 weeks-ish.  And then you have some people that are at 60, waiting for the rest of us.  It just puts extra pressure on top of the pressure that I have already put on myself to get my priest to 60.  This will be my first attempt at actually having “an active alt”.  I have never been able to sustain more than one character at a time.  I can’t split my loyalties between them, so I end up favoring one.  We’ll see how it goes. 

A whole lotta nothin’, oh except Yay achievements!

We hit up Ulduar10 last night, after rolling a giant goose egg last Wednesday.  That was the night Argent Dawn took a major crap on our raid schedule, as we were attempting our first hardmode Flame Leviathan.  We failed at getting Dwarfageddon, which we failed at again last night, and the server crashed during combat with FL.  So, last night we tried the hardmode again and I gotta say, I didn’t really tell a difference, other than we were pulling pyrite like freaking crazy.  We succeeded and everyone was awarded 2 Emblems of Conquest.  Yay!  Typical ho hum gear, no healing leather stuff that I needed (just the chest that I have, and have since upgraded).  We got the Orbital Bombardment achievement, and then moved to XT.  We tried doing the Achievement there, but when we didn’t kill the heart on the first pass, we lost the chance.  We did, however, get the speed kill on him, which was exciting to see that popup. 

Kologarn was per usual, and we moved on to Auriaya.  During the fight, our Resto Shammy says “man, we have such a great group, we just never wipe on anything, this is so great”.

Yeah.

Seriously.

So, we did one shot Auriaya, and after wiping on trash to Freya, and wiping to Freya, and wiping 4 or so times to the trash after Freya…

Yeah.

STFU.

Who jinxes a group like that?  The trash after Freya was a miscalculation on our part, actually because we had never attempted Thorim on the same night as a Freya kill and we were separating the trash too much.  As our hunter exclaimed on vent “OH GAWD THEY ARE HAVING SEPARATION ANXIETY”.  I almost fell out of my chair laughing.  We managed to get to Thorim, finally, and split off into groups.  We decided while buffing and eating a fish feast that since our attention spans seemed to be waning, it’s best if we don’t go for an achievement or hardmode on this encounter.  Except, yeah, we did.  Accidentally.  I got the achievement (so everyone else must have gotten it last Monday when I was gone) for Siffed – even though we didn’t actually finish combat, or win for that matter.

I got an achievement because we accidentally pulled too soon.  I feel so cheap.

So, that’s it.  We now move to where we can extend our raid ID and hopefully get some better attempts at the General and beyond.  I hope the patch goes smoothly *crosses fingers*

Patch 3.2 first impressions of early patch notes

Regular stuff I’m excited about

All this stuff is taken off the MMO-Champion website

For starters: New druid art for cat and bear forms has been added. There are now five unique color schemes for each form and faction. Changing hair color (night elves) or skin tone (tauren) via the barbershop will change the look of one's cat and bear forms.  I love this, I originally laughed at the new cat forms like everyone else but glad to know that we can make changes as easily as visiting the barber shop.

Northrend Children's Week has arrived in Dalaran! Players can find out more by visiting the Eventide District. Cool, a little late tho, don’cha think?

Battleground experience has arrived!  Ok, this is exciting =)  I have always wanted to get better at pvp and honestly, the only way to do that is practice, practice, practice.  I’ve never had the opportunity while leveling because the twinks would destroy me (or would tell me to leave the BG because I was ruining it for them) so this gives me a new chance!  Keep an eye out for “Flynch” my newest alt/druid I’m going to use just for pvp!  (waits for loud groan from peanut gallery)

Behsten and Slahtz can reinstate… this makes me laugh.  Say it out loud, without the “and”.

All these changes and more are pretty exciting.  I haven’t had time to digest the druid changes just yet, though the change to innervate doesn’t seem bad for my play style.  I typically save it to the last possible minute to use; the change would probably mean that I use it more frequently to keep above 50% mana. 

Midsummer Festival

With the holiday event coming up on Sunday (technically, I think it starts Saturday night at midnight server like the Noblegarden did), I’m starting to think out my game plan.  I think I’ll try to fish some in Orgrimmar while I”m there.  Ideally, I’d like to finish it up as quick as possible so I don’t have to worry with not getting something or having problems in Dalaran with the torch thing.  I might stay up a bit later on Saturday night and try to knock out as much as I can.

On the Achievement front…

Well, I accidentally completed Vehicular Gnomeslaughter in Wintergrasp the other day.  I was having a blast using the cannon and must have killed 99 players because on my first kill when they broke through, I got the achievement.  I’m sure I killed some players during previous WG, but probably not many.  My current achievement in the “Get that Achievement” game is Capture the Flag, and after many tries and much frustration, I have requested a reassignment.  It’s so lame of me to ask for a different assignment but I just can’t get that one done right now, my patience is like *this* thin.
