Achievements, Hard Modes, and Progression Part 1

In this set of articles I am going to explain what I feel has changed and what can still be changed, and how I think it can be done.  Also addressingg some of the QQ I have herd around the intarwebz.

In this article I’m going to talk about the ‘ Raiding spectrum’. How raiding has changed. What hard modes and achievements have done to/for raiding.

Is every one happy? No, but I see more and more people complaining about one side of the story. One small bit inside of an encounter. A Raid instance is so complex is almost not even funny and it seems from the past 4-some years they are continuing to get far more complicated. There really is no single way to do things and there are no “tank ‘n spank”, only in one aspect.

Ulduar and Monkeys

Ah what a busy time. I know I haven’t posted in a while but I want to let you all know I’m working on a few new ideas. One may or may not happen, and one will.

I would like to keep these idea’s to my self a bit more as a brain storm them and put them in to the works. As I am still rather shy.

3.1 and the Epic Fail

Now, I’m not the only one out there with this problem. If your cashing on Emalon please check out this post.

Other then crashing in VOA every time I targeted Emalon, I increased my dps by…..500? almost 3k on target dummy with no hero, yay!

Weeze

Ah that funny feeling in the back of your nose, turning the hoes on.. I love it…not.

So I don’t even want to log on today…  but the addiction is stronger then the ickyness.

Around the Intardwebs

Meara’s Randomness and lack of will to finish posts brings stuff she just felt like typing about… *cough* cause she’s lazy like that!

I know many of these have been out for a while now. I have been looking around the intarwebs for some interesting reads, and have come crossed a a few good ones I would like to point out to every one.

1. Foofy’s Cupcake Factory
   • This one I watched all of her Moonkin raiding 101. It how ever really saddened me, since I left my Oomkin a while ago for the priest. However, it still feeds the feathery fattiness inside to see that they have come along way since I was a oomkin, Oomkin to Doomkin. I think that her videos are vary informative, they are not for total nubs, but for those people who are starting to get up there rather late in the game. Even though I had no clue of what Solar and Lunar rotations were, she explains them nicely, and I find video to be better then text any way, regardless of mic malfunctions. It’s also inspired me to do a little 101 shaman stuff. I think I have fallin’ in love with the Foofy. She makes hoovs look good. For some odd reason, I keep wanting to call it Foofy’s Fooffcake factory… donno why…*shrug*
2. No Stock UI
   • I’m sure people have already herd about this one, since well it was done by *°*Matticus*°*. I do think it was something that was needed to be done. Damn you Matticus! You beat me to it! <3 ya any way! This blog is new, (started March 30th, well was the first post) it has great potential to be a ‘go-to’ site for addon info and reviews. I bet if I had better spelling and grammar I could help out *puffs out chest in proud manly fashion* yeah right... I can’t wait to see what they say about full addon packs, and should I still release my UI building posts…? The site is great, looks great, and has good authors behind it (even though I’m not much of one for BIG headers). I will wait to see it blossom.

Other then that, I have been wondering why a few of my RSS feeds haven’t been updating. Might be because BBB changed his RSS feed… with out letting me know!

Heh, yea right Meara, B*3 isn’t going to let you know…your hogging up space for all the bear’s out there, we all know you wanted be Doomkin!

…shut up self…Wow, did I just do that…?

Nut job!

Shut up announcer text things!

… I think I need to slow down more when I type…NAH!!

April’s Fool on The Guild

Mwahaha I’m evil.. I know what I’ll get out of Shibs though “/gag Omg!”

As got lack of posting lately. I have been vary “involved” with my guild recently. Besides the April Fools Joke (did something like this a year ago to my guild then, so they will know it was me. ) Funny thing is we are in the middle of some “Guild relations” wonder how bad I’ll be scolded!

Also working on a Post about making Light weight UI’s and leveling my Warrior in my spare time. (took me from Monday last week and till today) to get him 1 level. So that’s just about how much spare time I have been having.

I’m also tweeting now. So I’ll keep doing that once a day.

Vel Vrs PTR Part 2 Argent Tournament

Considering we have hit a big snag in both Ak and I playing on the PTR. This will take a bit to release. Damn Vista!

I wanted to head out to Ulduar but since I don’t have my guild there to test, I feel that my presence up there would be rather… Pointless. So I’ll let them test in peace. MMo Champs Videos are enough to give me a heads up on what will go on in there. I really don’t think I’ll be hitting that place up when it comes out any way.. I refuse to go unless I feel my guild is ready, and we all know I’m not in Premonition.

However, I am and Ak is going to continue (Once Vista agrees with Ak again) to work with the Argent Tournament. I didn’t want too much of a spoiler. I just wanna see the difficulty of the Dailies, and what I can get from the Quartermasters. I’ll also have to check out the priest changes. I know we are not going to get our AOE Shield witch made me shed a tear. Divine Hymm is going in and out like a good nights fun. However it was a bit of a useless spell. I couldn’t ever see myself using it.

Vel VS. PTR 3.1 Part 1 Shaman Changes

~ For those of you who saw this on the RSS Feed and on the Site before this updated on was Publish I appologize for it becuase I accsadently hit the Publish Button when my bother in law came home and I had to switch computers. SORRY!

So Yea I have Finlay decided to hit the PTR. Normally I try to avoid it since I don’t like to get exited about something before it’s release.  How ever there was so much hype about it I had to dig my fingers and beat up a few Target Dummies to see the changes it would do to my shaman. I love to theory craft so I figured it would be a fun experience as long as I stay away from Ulduar.

Ill Brake this bost since its a Loooong one.

I feel bad

With all my complaining last post.. Skipped Tuesdays raid. I’m not a skipper I have always been a good girl, but I guess it wasn’t that bad any way. How was I supposed to know I was going to be able to play all night. I’m probably going to skip Today’s raid as well. Reason to this is. It’s still not fixed.

Quino (Ak’s brother) finaly got mad enough to try to call up Megacable. We are going to have a tech will come out here soon, to come check the modem and stuff. They better fix it or I’ll throw hot water on the guy! More like I’ll just be so pissed I’ll crawl in bed for a while. I probably won’t raid until the guy comes. I really don’t wanna cause any inconvenience to my fellow guild mates, more then I already have with the AT&T problem. I will see, though.

Of coarse I have new “girly” gaming news. O.o Witch isn’t really news. something that just caught my eye. (sorry i still cant find my spell check button.. will have to use AK for a while)
THE SIMS 3! Okay Ak’s probably going to /plamface for this but dammit i don’t even know if my little computer can handle it….

Back to wow. I have Dinged 60 on my warrior.. YAY!

I’m having a blast. only thing is now I have to level up my two-handed skills to use Titan’s Grip.  SO off to Stocks to Hamstring some Difias guys to death! While getting my epic mount land mount.

OH and I found my spell speck button! it was in the dirty laundry, must have left it in my other pants.

Why life hates me

/sigh

I have been having a lot of battles latly with my internet conection. I have probaly only been on long enough to do some minor leveling times on my warrior and edit the site a bit. As I’m wrighting this I’m doing it on Wordpad.. Yes cuase I didn’t even install Micosoft Word on my compter. Since I never had the need for it.. Google Docs is better any way.

We have been fighting alot with both AT&T and Megacable (For those of you who don’t know what Megacable is, it’s owr Cable Internet Provider. Here in Mexico, I don’t suggest it even for my worst enimy).

The first battle with AT&T seems to be a problume WoW world round. People getting D/Ced on boss fights in 25man raids. Seems it also happenes in side Dalaran as well but I avoid that place like the pluage. As you can imagain that is vary annoying, and it makes me feel so bad. I know it’s a pain in the butt for the other 24 raiders. So I donno if I wanna just quit raiding until it’s fixed or continuee to try.

2nd battle with Megacable is just seems to be like we are stuck in a whole and can’t really get out. It disconects us daily now. There are two options for internet; 1: Telmex (ADSL), Now this one is alot more repliable but far more expensive. You have to have it with phone, no ‘if’s ‘and’s or ‘but’s. 2: Megacable (Cable), Where you can buy just ineternet and don’t have to include a phone. Far cheaper. I mean yes I’m sure there is Satalite but it can rain A LOT here in Veracruze so I don’t wanna sit there and watch the forcast on raiding days hoping it dosn’t rain. Besides that stuff is like extreamly expensive. Ak tryed to call megacables Tech Sapport, but first time he waitied 40 min got hung up on, 2nd time around they never awensered. I donno how in the hell can people get away with doing that kinda shit to there costumers.

Maybe I should ask the Ice Stone…Maybe it will know….(Sorry had to add a bit in there) Or maybe my internet conection was the stone, cuase it really did melt.. Or I’m about to throw my modem in the oven to melt it. /lol

I mean yes I have a DS so I could be playing FFTactics or somthing. You know how it is, when you don’t have somthing.. It picks at your brain until you get it. I WANT MY ANGRY DREAD! /Tempertantrim

Yes I’m going Emo.. /slashwrists

(Gasp ware’s my Spell check button!!! /cry)
