[WoW] Stuff in Warcraft that makes you happy
Posts
When we pipe music through vent while running Kara, nothing is cooler than watching a dancing druid in cat form, just swinging his paw around like some kind of badass. I can watch it for hours.
what you need to do is hold down A or D while bear dancing
we have dubbed it
bearnado
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
Silly Slaide, we took him down the second week into Kara, we've just been lazy since then. Raid nights are Friday, right?
Ghalan - Tauren Druid
It appears my delirium knows no bounds.
Steam
Only the strong can help the weak.
Yea he is a proper sounding robot at least.
What else makes me happy this week:
Got:
Ring of Unyielding Force
Kara exalted tank ring
Arena shoulders to replace assassin shoulders for tanking
Badge of Tenacity
Earthwarden (already posted this I think)
And once the Thoriumweave Cloak drops, I have enough def/res to put it on and remain uncrittable.
Once that and the adamantium figurine drops, I can start worrying about replacing my clefthoof chest and legs.
The best part about grinding in that area though, is seeing all the people try to do Ring of Blood solo. Brokentoe appears and they get smashed in the face as the attempt to run away. Good times.
Prot Paladin (me)
Priest
Feral Druid
2 Warlocks
We just gave up marking targets at one point and the warlocks started using seed while I aoe tanked pulls.
Probably the fastest SL run I've ever been on.
According to WowWiki, a full clear of Steamvaults nets approximately 1600 CE rep. Every SV run I'd been in up till then skipped most of the mobs in the first room (elemental patrols, extra giants, whatnot). Last night we decided to kill every living thing in the place.
You know what? IT WAS EASIER THAN SKIPPING MOBS. The patrols are no big deal, the elementals are pantywaists, and because I was with some extremely giving guildies, I got a total of 18 coilfang armaments.
When rep and loot are at stake, I just don't see what the harm is in clearing an instance. It was like clockwork. It was textbook. It was too easy not to do.
I can almost taste the bloody spikes on my Earthwarden.
Skipping mobs is the main reason i don't like any of the coilfang instances, with the fears, mind controls, etc, it isn't unlikely to be 3 manning the last of the pull chain fearing/trapping/sheeping because your healer is dead.
Someone on our server has been tricking players on an RP server with that. There's like...15 or so screenshots that are similar.
"OLOLZ Unilimted goldz just hit ALT-F4!!!!!!"
Stupid.
If you're stupid enough to fall for it, you deserve to be laughed at. I can understand that the average person who plays Blizzard games (read: Battle.net kiddies) are probably not going to understand basic Windows shortcuts. But I firmly believe that if you're too ignorant to understand what makes you automatically go AFK and that any action taken will clear your AFK status (unless you disable something in Interface Options), then you deserve to be ridiculed. This is especially true for anything that is covered in the game's manual.
IMHO, of course.
I r happy, both guild firsts and we got a server 6th on Dwalker (we raid like 3 times a week so not that bad)
SSC i r cumin f u kk
They are doing it because they want to make room in the BG for their friends. Or at least that is what one person in WSG was doing, he kept trying to get a level 12 to /afk so that his friend could join the BG.
Actually in this case it seems like the person is just being a jackass.
I don't get it... what made the guy quit the BG? I don't do any BGs any more, does going AFK instantly kick you? And if so, did the guy do /afk to try to clear it? If I want to clear AFK I just hit space or something.
Typing in /afk will remove you from the BG. And you are right, moving will clear the afk sign.
I geuss using /afk to leave a horrid WSG, that will probably take 3 hours, isn't a well known thing.
Oh, so you're just an asshole then.
So like, criminals who scam people out of their life savings are justified right? Because their victims should know better? Right? I mean, if they are ignorant enough to not understand they are getting scammed, they must deserve it.
:roll:
Yoink, trip to Mulgore, and now the zomg DPS goes even higher.
Now if only my guild would unnub itself.
Video games are serious business...what?
Scamming people out of money IRL isn't even close to getting some idiot to /afk. People who fall for that /afk shit are probably the same people who open email attachments from strangers, and they don't get any pity from me either.
That said, there are some instances where I would laugh about someone getting scammed IRL, most notably those who fall for Nigerian 419 scams. I think you need some serious disconnect from reality to buy into that shit.
EDIT: This is getting off-topic.
Exactly!
Except scam artists don't prey on the stupid, they prey on the TRUSTING.
And also they usually spin a tale of bullshit that even intelligent people can't immediately sniff out.
And also they are simply not allowed to join a BG for the next 15 minutes rather than gipped out of their life savings.
But other than that, yeah precisely.
My point was this. The whole "People who don't know any better deserve it" attitude is just plain asshole when it comes to this stuff.
Quote where I said they deserve it.
I don't care what it is, if someone does something stupid in a game it's perfectly acceptable to laugh at it. A person not knowing that /afk will instantly kick you out of a battleground (and gets kicked doing so) is just as funny as someone who didn't pay attention to the price of an item he put up for auction and left a 0 off of the end (2000g item for 200g? lolkthx!).
Would it suck if that shit happens to you? Sure. But when it's something that that is a result of a player fuckup, there is no harm in laughing at it.
The funniest thing I ever saw in WoW was a druid needing help with "summoning".
Yep, he sent people to Karazhan. And this was before BC.
However, the mount dropped for the our guild's other group :shock:

The raid leader was all, "well, okay, let's have everyone hearth and head over," but half the raid was already out and flying to HFP.
Had a few new people on the raid, and still killed him easily enough.
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
I've had far better luck getting a high percentage of a 30 man raid into the same AV than getting 8/10 or 13/15 into one.

Still waiting on that MS debuff nerf....
Not enough QQing about that yet. <.< >.>
Also waiting on that AV change :P
Man, that was great.
