On one hand, all I’ve done for the last 6 weeks is log in, find the game channels deserted, not be interested in questing, and log out. On the other, I wonder if I’ve really given the game a chance. On one hand, the RP I thought would come
A friend of mine had a GTalk status that brought me in mind of Sindragosa. While I can’t say I particularly LIKED that fight (any fight where the difficulty is created by making your players unable to play their class half the time is one that I’m
Just a heads up that I’ve recently started a new job, and it’s going to take some settling out before I figure out exactly what my gaming time is going to be. (And relatedly what my blogging time will be) Right now I’m working 9 hour
So my recent fascination in WoW is fishing. I don’t know either, usually fishing makes me a little cross-eyed with tedium. But I’m having tons of fun with it. So far I’ve discovered that I can make a good bit of money with it as well.
What do Fragments of Val’anyr, Festergut and Rotface’s Acidic Blood, and Eternal Embers all have in common? I have all of them in my bank. It seems, you see, that I am fated to be the legendary bridesmaid. I’m the *second* person in
So Gnomeaggedon started a round of the sixth screenshot meme recently, and while I’ve not been tagged (pout!) I’m going to play along. Here’s how it works: Go into your image folder Open the sixth sub-folder and choose the sixth image.
So I am a bad blogger, and missed my bloggiversary (which was a little over a week ago, on Feb 4, as best I can tell). I’ve been very busy getting ready to start a new job (OMG YAY), and it just completely slipped my mind. Which is sad, because
I am, officially, strange. Not that this is news to any of you, but I was reminded of it again this week while playing Ana’leth and Annata. I like content better the second time I complete it. When I’m new to a zone, I don’t know what
On Wednesday, Annata prepared. Clothing was casually purchased in Goldshire, a few herbs in Westfall. She used the extra time to make sure various poisons were ready as well, not that she thought she’d need them, but you could never be too careful.
Having done a few RaidFinder groups, I’m starting to notice patterns. Sadly, they’re not really GOOD patterns. For whatever reason, the players who show up, do their jobs, get loot and go on their merry way don’t seem to stick out in
I was reading a post the other day from Ask a Jedi, about how his characters in other games had places that felt like “home”, where in Star Wars they kind of didn’t. It’s a good post, and an interesting one in terms of game design.
I redid my gems. I re-reforged. I redid my keybinds. I set up clique and totem timers. And then we went to Firelands. My first foray as a healer wasn’t horrible though, once I remembered I had Healing Rain (which is probably the biggest change to
I don’t have a witty ending to that statement. But it would probably be something like “… the writer gets a beer.” Anyway, what happens when you want to be writing, but the ideas won’t come? When you have a character that
So my as yet nameless raid* is going through another reset cycle. We’ve lost a few people, are raiding on a new night, etc. One of the people we lost was our paladin healer. As such, since I like my raid and want to keep raiding, I offered to swap
For my own use as much as anyone else’s: Wookieepedia – Star Wars Lore Database. Enormous, but good for getting answers to lore questions. Also good for sucking up your afternoon without you noticing. SWTOR Wikia - Star Wars: The Old Republic
It’s the little things. I want to sit on the couch, dammit. There are lovely chairs all over. Bar stools, benches, couches. I want to sit on them. I’d also like to sit in such a way that I am not flashing my character’s delicate bits
I share a lot of the same reservations as A New Dope about the linear questing styles of WoW and Star Wars. Linear questing is not my favorite. While I’m not going to say I love being trekked around the world every five minutes, I like it when there’s
So Cynwise has a really excellent post up about what makes WoW different from other games and other forms of social media – it’s worth a read, so I’m going to just link to it and let you go read it before I start thinking about it over
Master Sideth was not, in fact, entirely comfortable in the Drunkard’s Vote cantina. He was there looking for someone named only “Jeb”, a human trader of some repute. Just WHAT repute, he wasn’t entirely sure, but contacts on
Parallel context posted recently about the seeming dearth of people in leveling zones. You should go read the post, because it struck a chord with me. I’ve been trying to level up Ancelyn, my warlock, and it’s been a very lonely adventure.
And so it begins – Aely and Arrens’ adventures in the far reaches of the Galaxy. It’s really good to be writing fic with Arrens again (to be fair, he wrote most of this, I’ll take most of the next part – Shared writing duties
So right now I’m playing both WoW and SWTOR. This is interesting, in that if I have the “dunwannas” for one of them, I can easily play the other. Also, I am approximately a peon of no consequence in SWTOR, so I don’t have two raiding
I was noticing the other day that most of my characters have a static set of things in their bags. Most of that is the usual complement of flasks and potions, food, water, and a smattering of profession items and RP gear. All of them have a few actual
Last night our 10 man took our first peek into the Dragon Soul raid. It was largely successful, even if we did have a case of the derp for a bit on Zon’ozz. The third boss of the instance, however, led to one of the more amusing wipes we’ve
Every iteration of WoW has had its own particular gathering places for each faction. Looking back on these, it actually makes me a little nostalgic each time I visit one of the “old” capitols, remembering the game when that was the hot spot
We did not get Ragnaros last night – not through any fault of anyone in the group, but because you can’t fight both Ragnaros and the Internet Boss and hope to win. Connection problems and lag were plaguing various raid members (even after
Recently, Bricu put up a post over at WTT:RP about getting ready for the upcoming expansion and how we and our characters can get ready for it. It’s a good idea to start thinking about those things now, especially with the end of year/Christmas
(For the record, I’m writing this in the Saucy hangout on Google Plus. We’re all writing together and it’s pretty awesome.) So I’ve been playing Annorah (level 85 and running Trollish heroics now) quite a lot more than Aely.…***Thanks
And I know that’s totally old news and wow Anna get out from under your rock, but really, my biggest curiosity about Z’G? Do the Splody Bat Men still exist?! I ask because I’m quite trepidatious to set foot…***Thanks for reading
Warning: Pontification and Storytelling The death of WoW. (NewGame) is the WoW Killer. (ThisThing) was better in (ThatOtherVersion). WoW has been around for a long time. I’ve played since a few months past release. When I started, I…***Thanks
