I rarely get pissed in WoW. Not pissed like I am right now. I was invited to 25 man Vault of Archavon, which I have done a few times with no problems as well as the 10 man version. Completely unorganized as far as groups and heals. We wiped 2 times. Both times I died early on because of lack of heals. Not that I am blaming the healers. They can’t watch 25 people, there were enough healers for there to be 1 per group where they only had to watch 4 other people IF it had been organized. I got kicked out because my DPS was too low. Hmmm rather hard to get high numbers when you are dead ya think? Meh whatever it just pisses me off and to add insult to injury mage gear dropped after they DID get organized. I am pissed and I guess a bit hurt. Stupid right? It’s a bunch of pixels. *sigh*
Been a lot going on behind the scenes. Not going into all that yet.
WoW-wise I have been doing PvP and helping Dan on his hunter and then Dan with his Priest and Rugal with his Warlock that they play together. Hard to believe they are getting close to being ready for Outlands. I almost have all my marks. I think I need 35 more Alterac and I’ll have the 90 I need. Honorwise I still need like 60 some thousand. But once I get my marks I am just gonna do the battlegrounds I really like. I will admit Alterac is growing on me. I like it when it goes smooth but hate when there’s like 10 afk people on our side. Or all but 2 people on offense or defense.
I am going to get Lumi in a different guild. I love Kamikaze Runners but no one is ever on. I understand they have other stuff going on, I just would like Lumi to be in a guild where I can help people and so if I need another person for an instance it isn’t a matter of “Do you have any tanks/DPS from your guild on we can get to help?” *me checking guild tab* “Uhm no, I am the only one on.” Dan’s main is guildless at the moment so we are gonna find a good one for both of us to join together.
Dan awesomely helped me last night. He helped me work on Argent Dawn rep (such a GRIND) and helped me get the Crusader weapon enchant. I thought it would take forever to get, but it took like 16 minutes with his help.
Other than the stuff I don’t feel like talking about there isn’t much going on. Oh my bike should be here this week. So then I am gonna start biking the 3 miles to work.
Dan kept telling me I needed to PvP before Lumi hit 70 so I could get the gear at 70 because PvP at 70 is hard without the gear. I have always been pretty chicken about Battlegrounds. Until last night the only one Lumi had been in was the Alterac Valley Dan took me in.
Now I could really kick myself for not getting that minipet!!!! (Yes Dan, you told me so >.< lol. It's my fault and mine alone)
Anyway, last night he had a lot of homework and was urging me to do PvP. It took me over an hour to get brave enough to queue up >.< This time instead of running out in the open in Warsong Gulch, I went to our flag room to help defend it. Anything red that came in I blasted. We won. So I ended up doing another Warsong, 1 Alterac, 1 Arathi and 1 Eye of the Storm last night. We won them all. I had a major adrenaline rush, so it took a while before I could go to bed. Man once it started wearing off though I was crashing!
The Call to Arms daily today was Arathi. I queued up in Arathi and Warsong before work hoping I’d get in one. Ended up in Arathi and we won. I think I am getting hooked hehe.
*faints*
I went to bed at like 9:30 last night and despite taking stuff to help me sleep I woke up at 1 am. I tried to go back to sleep and gave up after 30-40 mins. I logged on WoW and it was just in time to see Dan sending a mass whisper about raiding Southshore. I decided what the heck and told him I was on my way. Unfortunately it wasn’t a big raid…not many Alliance came, but he said there had been more earlier. It was still fun tho *evil grin*. I played Let the Bodies Hit the Floor while we were raiding. So then he said let’s do AV…so what the heck. We lost (so no dragon), but Lumi is no longer a BG/PvP virgin hehe.
Well I just noticed my last mention of Lumine was June 29 and she was level 51 O.o
She is now 90% of the way to 67 …I took about a week off (well I would login and then end up spending most of my time sitting in Org or somewhere) and built up about 700k rested. I have about 200k left. so *maybe* it will get me to 68.
Enchanting is up to 301, Tailoring is 350. I did my spellcloth quest, I just need motes of fire and mana so I can make it. I have been finishing up Terokkar and questing in Nagrand. I got Miniwing…(purple and white parrot). I am gonna try to get into a BG and get the special dragon I haven’t done a BG with her at all so this may be interesting lol. I feel for the people I end up grouped with hehe.
Update on the computer saga.
It seems the popped capacitor wasn’t the only issue WIndows had. Even with Russ’s card (same type video card) it did the 4 bit crap. So maybe the AGP slot is flaking out.
BUT…and this is why I <3 Ubuntu right about now…
It works in Ubuntu…popped capacitor and all…I can play WoW and since I found a plugin for Pidgin that lets me log on to XFire I can still talk to Dan. SO I am happy about that.
Now if only Dan would get a break >.< It sucks when you care about someone so much and they just keep having bad day after bad day on top of not being able to sleep. And I can’t do a damn thing to help :<
It is already Sunday afternoon. I am not ready for the weekend to be over. I have been playing WoW and spring cleaned a bit. I deleted 2 characters I made but ended up not liking their names. This is the list for the SoE realm (all are Female):
Lumine – 51 Blood Elf Fire Mage – Tailoring/Enchanting
Amatine – 27 Blood Elf Holy Priest – Mining/Jewelcrafting
Malandra – 16 Blood Elf Affliction Warlock – Skinning/Mining
Innihta – 11 Orc Shaman – Skinning/Herbalism
Gleigga – 9 Dwarf Paladin – undecided (I wanted to play a Pali but I didn’t wanna do BE again)
Achlys – 9 Undead Rogue – Herbalism/Alchemy
Leyotahu – 15 Tauren Hunter – Skinning/Leatherworking – Pet: Ravager named Otaktay (Sioux name meaning “Kills Many”)
Marimuni – 1 Troll Warrior – undecided on playing/keeping this one. I don’t like dealing with the stances
and I am planning a Druid. I just have put it off because I started Ley Friday night and if I do a Druid I will have to do the Tauren area again.
So far ScribeFire seems to be the winner. I am happy now. It is much easier to just click the little icon at the bottom of Firefox. Plus, since it is browser based there are no compatibility issues for me. I can use it on windows or Ubuntu.
I defected on WoW. After getting my main all the way up to lvl 70 I abandoned her. It just seemed like everything was either rep grind or motes grind or money grind or instances. So I rolled a few Horde alts.
There is Lumine who is a lvl 27 Blood Elf Fire Mage (and man she kicks some ass thanks to the armor Jazz made her and the robe quest reward she got thanks to Tink and Skylander taking me through a way above my level area — lvl 40 quest available at lvl 19). Of course I have learned that the downside of having lots of bonus fire spell damage is it makes my squishy an aggro magnet. Lumi is an Enchanter/Tailor.
Amatine is a level 22 Blood Elf Holy Priest. Ama is a Miner and Jewelcrafter.
Malandra is a level 15 Blood Elf Affliction Warlock. I didn’t feel like doing ghostlands a 3rd time so I did the Undead starting area. Mal is a gatherer. She has Skinning and Mining.
After reading The War of the Ancients trilogy I wanted to get more of the Orc story so I rolled an Orc Shaman named Relaris. She is still a baby, level 4. I may do Herbalism/Alchemy with her.
I have also been playing SecondLife. My avie is named Sendarra Selentiak. I am hoping to learn how to design and build things, I think that is where I could have the most fun.
