Hotel Hate & Hope (Free dinner with cheese and whine!)
Posts
After Over 200 WSG's, I dinged friendly with the Silverwings, too!
I'm still grumpy that the repeatable honor quest doesn't give rep.
Hate: Still healing while I'm waiting on S4. I'm so tired of healing. Also, WSG tokens.
Hope: Wondering if I can actually hit 1600 the first week of S4, even if I stay Holy for the first week.
Hope: I can still get a group as Ret
If you want to play League of Legends, here is my refer a friend: So I get points
Gratz.
I only have 140 games of WSG to go, but that title will be mine!
Happiness: In about 2 1/2 weeks since the hostile takeover of the guild, we now have 6x the gold in the guild bank as we ever did before the takeover... We're able to provide enchanting mats/epic gems/Marks of the Illidari free, and will begin supplying free pots/food/repairs for progression runs tonight. Baby steps, but successful baby steps.
Hope: We down Kalegos tonight, or at the very least get some exciting trash consolation prizes.
Our resto druid took them for moonkin gear. Y'know for someday next year when we can spare him a sunmote for that.
Amusing: Leather DPS engineering pattern! For our 2 rogues who are leatherworkers...
no really, Hate: M'uru. The game isn't even fun when you die in less than 2 minutes because all your DPS doesn't have Energy or Rage bars. Fucking horribly designed encounter.
Tonight is our first crack at sunwell trash.
Well it's not like we have patterns to use them in...
We have ~50 Sunmotes and absolutely nothing to craft with them. The only 3 patterns we've had drop are the Shammy healing gloves that are worse than the trash drop pair, the Paladin BS requiring healing chest and the Resto Druid LW pattern.
The only plans that I know of on my server are the healing ring and the rogue gloves, and the ally guild won't make the rogue gloves for us because we passed them in progression.
But what fags, seriously, everyone shares.
The first dps ring pattern that drops, however, is going to get mass produced like we were a sweat shop pulling overtime shifts.
Also, wtb the leather chest pattern and physical dps neck, pst. :-/
It's sad, I look forward to Tuesday trash clearing than most bosses.
The trash has a chance to drop more upgrades.
Really like ZA so far.
we are clearing for bears on saturdays and two weeks ago we started going tuesdays too for each reset and i have been tanking the runs for 9 successful clears and 6 prior saturday ones*, and i have yet to roll higher than a 40 on a baer so far. Last time i rolled a 10. TENNNNN ARGGGGGG BAER NEEDS.
* the previous ones were to stupid wipes. Like DPS warriors trying to tank dragonhawk in vengeful. "Adds/scout/flamecaster not dying soon enough" wipes.
Sunwell trash drop rates are the most depressing thing ever. I used to look forward to it, but now it's just more tedious farming to not see my robe pattern. Just like going to Hyjal is tedious to not see my pants, again, and BT is to not see my trinket, again. So much of the Sunwell trash stuff is so highly desired by so many people, yet it just doesn't come. And then when you finally see purple pixels, it's something retarded like the healing blacksmithing pattern when none of your paladins are blacksmiths. They really need to increase the drop rate on that shit.
I don't know if it's true, but I don't think I've seen a reputable report of the pattern drop rate being anything but terrible.
Random tip:
Be careful which robots you kill. You don't want to get in a situation where the scouts run out of range of the DPS because they're trying to run to a robot on the far side of the room. I just remember this causing a headache our first night in there.
But tbh, if i was a caster and that robe dropped, i would drop a profession and level it to 375 immediately.
The black smithing one is pretty meh. But the LW chest for healing is fucking retarded awesome.
If they are that bad, the warlocks will blot out the sun with imps, the mages will destroy your raid with frost nova's and aoes.
Killing scouts will cause nightmares compounded with trees and robots....
but never forget...
Good question.
No the real answer is that when raiding is going well, I really do enjoy it, and I would like to see the bosses in Sunwell dead before the expansion. We farm Hyjal/BT and Sunwell trash to get upgrades so that we have a better shot at killing those bosses. But farming without getting new kills in is REALLY starting to take its toll on my raid.
More and more lately though I am tempted to be one of those assholes and take a t6 robe and Zhar'doom and then quit raiding. At least until Sunwell gets nerfed to hell.
Also Happy: Was having a lucky night and got like 5 blue upgrades somehow. Woo!
More Happy: Got nothing but good marks on my tanking. Had to lecture the one rogue about giving me a chance to build aggro before making all the funny sound effects and angering the giant monsters, but after that everything was smooth.
Sad: At the time, the wife (fire mage), ironically enough, was in a really, really crappy PuG group for ST. The double warrior tanks (one 70, mind you) couldn't hold aggro for anything. She got lectured about having "too low hp" (WTF?) and "being too easily feared" (more WTF?!?) and then was told to just hide somewhere and loot.
Happy again: Her response? "Funny, I've never had to look at my HP, seeing as how my tankadin husband knows what he's doing and I never get attacked in the first place."
Love: That warm, tingly feeling when you actually wind up in a great PuG. Made two new friends who we'll hopefully be finishing off some ZF quests with.
Jealous!!!:
It figures someone would say something like this not long after my epic whiny QQ post in the chat-thread about never getting to see the old-world raid instances! Maaaaaan! (Cue Invoice Ninja sitting alone in his office and sobbing the saddest version of the MC Raiders song ever.)
Ha ha
Well I went on a pug to Old Hillsbrad on my warrior where the shaman bitched the whole run about how he kept getting on groups that would drop after thrall
It only took me 45 minutes
My hate is my brother will not get on his mage and invite me to a raid so I can turn in Mediv's journal in Kara
Happy: Learned that one of our raiding priests leveled his resto druid to 70 and he's about where my paladin is as far as needing 70 instances. Pocket healer go!
its alright for Kara because i overgear the place so ridiculously much that i can solo tank everything
but ZA is not so easy
Update: The seller of those 4 just COD'd me the 5th so as to save on AH fees. Just gotta farm up one more 1500g to go....
Steam: pazython
Happier: I got the crystal spire!
hate : ohnoes my dkpees
Happy: 3 chest run! Life-Step Belt for me!
Hope: I never have to go back there
I'm surprised people are selling so many sunmotes like that. Are there a ton of guilds in Sunwell on your server? I know my server sucks but it still seems really early for that to me.
Hating: Not wanting to spend it because S4 will come out soon, knocking S2 gear to the honor/token vendor.
Hoping: God damnit give me some badges so I can just buy some SSO shit already
