LFG!.. LFG!!!!

Let me first start with this  - "LFG tool is @#$%ing awesome!"...." WTF? this LFG tool is a piece of sh!t!!"..

Ok now that those are out of the way, it's time for me to rant and rave about this tool.

Pros:

• queue into a group from where you are!
• earn badges just for pugging.
• earn a pug pet after grouping with 100 random people.
• chance at some gear if your not in purples yet.
• return to the area you were in when you joined the group.
• meet new people.
• chance at getting different achievments

Cons:

• If your DPS queues can take awhile!
• get grouped with people who are annoying, think they are the best in WoW, know's how to play class to well and will criticize you every chance they get.
• 1 wipe and people will bail (not all the time)
• epics suck, not good unless your in blues or able to get ICC 5 man.
• some people are not that friendly
• still no real challenge (unless you get a bad group)

So as you can see the LFG tool has it's good and bad points. What would be nice is a 10/25 man raid queue.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy update Batman!

I need a massive update to everything on this blog..... WOW.. not to be confused with WoW!

How long has it been?????

  Wow it has been a year and a half since I last posted on this blog. I doubt anyone reads this, but I will start posting again as I have returned to WoW from a much need "burned out" break. I have been playing again for a few months getting back into the swing of things, shakin the old rust and dust off my armor. I see not much has changed, except the new ICC 5mans and raids.
  I have actually been raiding as of late. My guild  has been tackling ToC 25man and ICC 25man will be happening soon as well.
   My DPS is horrible right now. I think I am at 3.5ish right now and was either last or very close to last. I guess I need to re-evaluate my gear and figure out a way to get better gear. It's kind of funny how gear can be so easy, yet so hard to get. Hey that was an Oxymoron... who you calling a moron?!?
Let me explain!. Sure you can get tier gear from vendors now just by collecting badges. Which trust me I have been buying, however its tough to get those badges unless your running 10 mans. I know.. you can do the LFG tool and get into a 5 man and at the very least get 5 badges a run, but I am having a few issues with that which will be discussed in a post of it's own! I do run those as much as I can, but as of lately it's taking a long time in the queue as a DPS'r to get into a group. I have waited an hour to get into a group before.  Ah well /grip over!
  So anywho... Another way for gear is...is....is...wait for it..."PROFESSIONS!" That's true, however I went the route of Miner/Engineer. Which allows me to create an epic gun that is not used anymore!, a parachute for my cloak (the +23agi is nice), rockets for my hands, and some trinkets. The main bonus for Engineering is being able to create ammo, which came in handy last night. I went into ToC 25man and used over 3k in bullets, which i was able to make more on the fly...
   So as you can see my options are limited profession wise since most items are BOP. What would be nice is if the LFG tool would include 10man raids.
Well thats all for now... On to the next post.. I have a lot of catching up to do..

Less then a week for LK!!

So less then a week a way from Lich King and what have I accomplished?

Nothing absolutely nothing!

I keep trying for Baron's mount and get nothing, and it has consumed my time, which means my gorilla is still level 67...

I haven't made any real gold.

I haven't made any attempts on instances.

Although I did manage to get my hordie Shaman to almost 40.. half a level left.

I have decided to finish off the triple XP for the Refer a Friend. I only have 3 weeks left to use up that buff. I have seen 1-60 in 22 hours with this buff, so I may be able to get 2 toons to 60 before it expires. This will also allow time for Northrend to filter people out so it won't be so crowded.

I do have my zebra mount thought..

/cheer

OVERHAUL NEEDED!!!!

I think it's time for a massive overhaul to what I normally talk about. I am now going to write about all aspects of WoW, not just hunter stuff.

I think this has been long over due.

First thing's first, I will be writing a whole lot more then I was before, I am going to be more open to my writing styles as well.

More subjects on what I write about as well. I want to really reach out to more then just the usual 3 people that pop on to see if I actually updated anything.
(so really who won the pool on me posting next?)

I am going to make this blog one of which people will want to read everyday. There are alot of blogs that I read daily, and alot of websites that I read as well.

I will also be bringing readers updates as I found them out.
You know it is actually sad and selfish of me, to play beta and not really post much on it.
I do apologize for that.

So in closing I will be changing and moving some stuff around to make this a more open blog, where people will actually like to stop by and say hi and/or post some comments on some stuff.

/cheers for now and I hope you all look forward to the new look of things.

aaahhhh no time for me!!!!!

Date is really 11/1

Man has it been awhile since I posted something last. It has been a crazy month, with the wife and kids and new job... haven't really had time to do much.. but I was able to sneak away..


/sneak





^see^





I have been dabbing ( is that even a word?) in WoW and beta.. I did finally clean out my bank... Holy moth balls Batman..!! I did manage to make about 1k + for everything in the AH.. so not a bad nights work.





My mage is now tattered in a new spike look, I like it.. Fear the Green Spikes of Wrath!!!!





Blizz did higher the drop rate of Baron's mount so I am off to get that.. now instead of 1 out of 5000 its now 1 out of 100.. I better get it now.


/Marks Blizz with a bounty for their heads...


IF I DON'T GET IT THEN THAT WILL HAPPEN!!!

THINGS TO DO/DONE BEFORE WRATH!

So in lou of Wrath coming out in a few weeks, I have been working on getting a horde shaman ready for outlands, hes level 37 atm.

Killed the new boss in Kara, lost roll for the axe, but did get the bat pet, not really a good equivalent but meh at least I didn't leave empty handed.

My corehound is level 70 and gorilla is 67.

Still working on getting Baron's mount. ( he's so stingy, sharing is caring you bastard.)

Conquered Mount Hyjal and got a neck piece that was it. nothing more nothing less, why because my rolls don't go past 20.

Still tweaking addon's.. I hate patches for this reason..

Still working on getting 25 quests done and not turned in until wrath comes out, instant xp, why not.

determining if Northrend will be tackled right when I get Xpac or wait and do quests in outlands for a little bit, it's still XP and I don't have to worry about Northrend crashing because of player overload.

This week I am tackling (with my guild of course) TK. Will I get anything? most likely not, I still will roll under 20.. WTB new /roll dice.

That's about it for now.

/cheers to all.

Wrath update review

Ok so I got to visit Northrend for awhile and really get to take in everything, it was really amazing and to have two starting areas to choose from was nice, I advise stormwind harbor to get to Northrend, less people in that zone..

One long boat wait and trip later I get to my destination, the Borean Tundra.

What a great and open place. You start off getting a few quests to get to know the town that you arrive in.

I suggest while you are there to visit all the profession trainers and work on leveling your first aid and skills,

/poke

Poke?

"It's your subconscious, are you forgetting something?"

"no!? why? what am I forgetting?"

"Don't you feel lighter?"

"Yeah, actually I do feel lighter.. why is that?"

"You really don't know why?"

"nope!" My bags are still full, my ammo patch is still full, "oh god! please tell me my gear/clothes

are still on or am I living the running around Iron Forge naked dream?" gear still there /sigh, my wallet is ... is... is!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I'm missing GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!.....

"No your not."

"YES I AM!"

"No you really are not."

"Then where is it? huh Mr. Smartypants?!"

"What did you do when you arrived off the boat?"

"I got more stable slots and train my skills."

"OK and how much did that cost you?"

"I wasn't paying attention, a few gold right?"

"nope.... 200g for stables, 50g for GrandMaster profession and about 7G for each new item creation."

" let's see that's 200g + (50g*2) ....

/carry the 2 ..."

"Hey Boy Genius you just spent 400G in a matter of 5 mins..'

"Gadzooks!!! I just spent 400Gin a matter of 5mins..!!!"

"I just said that, Captain Obvious!"

" no need to get rude.. "

"Tough love...you need to learn somehow!"

"whatever!!!!"

so yeah be prepared to spend a fortune when you get there.... Thank god I never leveled my fishing and cooking or else I would be broke.... ouch.

After realizing I just spent alot of money, I decide to do some quests, which yield you about 4-6g a quest.. each mob also drops up to 30s so you will make your money back in no time. I got to meet the new Tuskarr group which look kinda cool...

They had me bullying some Nord'smen and stealing from them as well... well no it's more like stop them from getting bullied by the Nord'smen...

One thing I do realize is I never trained any new spells ... oops...

I do want to say that I do like the new aspect of viper, I was generating 174 mana a shot and multishot would yield triple that amount... I was not even close to running out of mana.... It was a nice change of pace....

The kill command takes some getting used to... Also pets still don't hold aggro as well as they should be..

There are still a few bugs that need to be worked out...

I will keep posting more tomorrow.. and with alot more detail.. I will also post some screenshots of some cool places and creatures, also some UI screenshots..

/cheers
