Does that cheer you up?
Battlenet ID: MildC#11186 - If I'm in the game, send me an invite at anytime and I'll play.
also: Moonkin dance.
Oh, I guess that would only really make me happy.
Also, a group of gnomes dancing always makes me smile.
/lol'ing on a Gnome puts me in a bright mood as well.
And a gnome warrior running with the T2 helmet on...
Pretty much any gnome-related activity makes me smile.
They ARE adorable.
nuking is so much more satsifying than DOT will ever be
That and DoTing people in WSG so I know they are fucked, and they may or may not know they are fucked, but because Corruption/Immolate et al have no trail paths, they don't know it was me that fucked them. Plus, my succubus is all up in their grill.
I guess I prefer fighting like a pussy.
Nuking wracks my nerves. If it's too big then there's a good chance I'm about to become a smear on the ground. Slow and steady wins the race imo.
Also, whenever I actually carry the flag successfully with him (I have a Druid, Shaman, and Rogue, so I'm an expert).
EDIT: ONE MORE THING! Whenever I trick someone in blowing thier interrupt (Rogues and Mages, especially) by casting my Hearthstone then proceed to own them. I've had people jump on alts to ask me about that.
Moments like that keep me coming back day after day.
Oh and of course the shouts and cheering over Vent when your guild downs a big boss that you have never beat before. That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Funny cause half the time in our Raids it's the Warlocks who are pulling aggro, I barely ever see a mage pull aggro.
This is basically the only thing that kept me raiding for a year. That and for the first half of it, the people were pretty awesome.
We have a fire mage who does. He never does it in raid wipe situations, but on trash....
One day we're doing the mobs inbetween the drakes and someone calls out that one is vunerable to fire. So some dumb priest gives him PI. He got a crit and that thing wouldn't leave him. Someone calls out over Vent "Alright Kalto, which priest did you piss off?"
*cough* only one (piss poor dps) threat reduction talent until the last patch and still no aggro wipe until the expac *cough*
Excuse me. I seem to have a cold.
2 shotting a mage and then 3 shotting his rogue friend after he jumped me; who says enhance dual wield shaman suck in pvp? 8)
I'll second the happy feeling you get when the guild downs a tough boss for the first time.
Dotting up an entire bg with my warlock
Dance in ghostwolf form with my shaman
Running an instance for the first time with friends
/silly with orcs until they sing
Yeah... how does that end up mattering? I know you douse a centaur fire or something but that wasn't very important.
I ask because I'm genuinely curious. I always end up abandoning that chain once I get to westfall.
Break the zerg, and it'll even out. Especially when they are stupid enough to leave no defense behind them.
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun.
Watching a rogue die moments after he kills me ... just to watch him run around in a cloud of purple ... more enjoyable when he has 3 healers close to him but no one gives him a heal ... because he's a rogue. I enjoy watching aftermath of my dots from my dead body.
Dotting a Shaman that likes to spam heal himself. In this one WSG that's all this shaman did HEAL ... HEAL ... HEAL ... etc .... I was so happy to know my mana would outlast his. Curse of Tongues ... oh why yes sir.
Same shaman, this time running the flag, all my dots on him and my felguard chasing him .... he ran the whole field while I watched his life drain away, not once did he stop to heal, just stayed in ghost wolf the whole time ... maybe hoping his life would outlast my dots .... my very last tick killed him.
- Like someone above me mentioned, heading back into town after a long day of killing Gnolls and boars and naughty, mean Defias dudes and seeing a bunch of yellow dots on your minimap. Nothing like filling up half your experience bar in 3 minutes with all the quests you finished. On that note, logging into WoW to check your mail and seeing all your auctions have sold. Gold galore!
- The leveling experience from 1-60 with your RL childhood friends. We may be at different colleges all throughout the country, but that doesn't mean we can't still chat about girls and movies and food while running SM Cath for phat loots. And come expansion time, we're rerolling horde and doing it all over again. I can't wait.
That stuff makes me happy.
Doing things that most people wouldn't accept or try, ie off spec, weird combo runs. 3 druid and one hunter run of UD Strat, sure? Tanking DM-N with a shaman and lowbies, go for it. 2 manning stuff you shouldn't. Soloing bosses.
A KILLING SPREE!!!!@##!!!!! in any battleground.
The unintentional hilarity of chat sometimes.
For me, WoW despite all of its frustrations, is still damn fun most of the time.
Finding how many people I know who play, but keep it as their dirty little secret.
edit: Oh and long AVs were we are nearly lost yet we find a way to come back and win. Those are delicious. Also, screw your honor per hour kid, go somewhere else.
Being a warrior and suddenly getting heals in a BG. And then seeing that you and just 1 paladin have laid waste to 5 horde. Brilliant.
My first time fighting Rag and seeing that speech with Domo.
Completing my .5 questline. Hardest damn thing to complete. There should be more long, difficult but rewarding chains like that in the game.
Battlenet ID: MildC#11186 - If I'm in the game, send me an invite at anytime and I'll play.
It's one of those quests that tells you, if you hadn't been a WC3 player, all about Night Elves and what was up. And it's good experience, and it guides you to the racial leader and then gives you a nice bow. Then you're sent to Auberdine and I mean, stuff goes on from there right? :P
It is more fun than the "Get 10 bear asses and never talk to me again, x."
I once was in a AV where we came SO close to losing then one of the stupid Horde reset Vann by running out and we got our GYs back, pushed em out and then as we were about to win they capped the RH from under us so we were forced back then just as they were starting on Vann again our small O managed to also get on Drek and then we summoned a ton of D to O and we beat them, they had Vann at like 5% too.

Some of us have been doing AV since it was released and don't find sitting there for hours fun anymore. We remember all day AVs.
So basically getting the items from PvPing that you can get is so important to you that you are willing to do something you don't enjoy over and over and over again?
I do enjoy it, provided its quick.
2. Role-play that goes so well, real life friendships are created.
3. The Undercity, the music, the "goopy sound" that river of slime makes, Varimathras jumping up when he's excited and the "Beware the Living" salutation you get after you buy some mushrooms. The whole kit and kaboodle.
4. Playing the auction house. I haven't felt the need to play Acquire since I've learned how to buy and sell Dark Iron Scraps. It's a great way to burn some time while you are waiting for friends to come online.
5. The forums, I read some of the WoW forums frequently, mostly the RP servers, there is some fantastic fan fiction to be found if you know where to look.
6. The quest engine. People forget, when it first came out, the quest engine was godlike.
7. RP events that come off with great laughs along the way. This is especially true when an RP event features some nifty PvP or duels.
8. Many of the groovy locations in the game. I literally have places I travel to from time to time just to watch the moon rise.
9. Shadow Priests, and no I won't change my build just to go raiding with you.
10. Model Viewer.
11. All In One Inventory
It's very irritating. So I guess what I enjoy about WoW is the smoothness with which everything flows. Nothing feels cumbersome or tacked-on. Combat feels right, not just like numbers floating around or people clunking about in a vague LARP approximation of a fight.
Since I can customize the UI however I'd like, it never feels like I have to fight against it or work around it in order to achieve something in the game.
