Hacked Off – Day 1

24 Jan

I got a wonderful surprise today. My account has been hacked. I lost everything. I didn’t have hat great of gear but it was better than nothing. I’m actually not all that pissed about my stuff but when they took all my guild’s stuff that is upsetting. This will be a day by day account of getting all my stuff/toons/guild’s stuff back.

Day 1-

Checked security on computer, changed password, started ticket with blizzard, contacted guild. Really just the normal stuff you would expect to happen. I’m more interested in the rest of the project.

Druish Princess

15 Jan

Milwaukee hit level 80 last night on the last boss of Gundrak. Shes already got her epic (got at 78) and maxed all her skills. Milwaukee makes more money than any other toon I’ve had. Jewelcrafting makes me huge money. I average 500-1000g per day just from jc. She has mining too but i rarely go out and mine my own stuff. I sell the Titansteel CD everyday for 20-30g. Maybe someday I will tell you my secrets to the big cash but, not right now. I have the market cornered.

Occ Wrench

13 Jan

I jumped back on Milwaukee today and tried a random dungeon. I put me in Occ where everyone immediately left group. The random option should allow players to select one dungeon that they refuse to do. Another option is to kill Occ all together instead of upping the loot or making it easier. People just don’t want to do it. Why force them?

Also I think there should be stiffer penalties for players that leave a group before the instance is over. My idea is to give them res sickness and dock all their armor. This will really hurt those whiny ass tanks who show us if they ain’t happy ain’t nobody happy. They just hop from dungeon to dungeon because the cue times are all reliant on the amount of tanks in the system…

I thought DK’s were supposed to fix the lack of tanks. My prediction for Cataclysm is that they make shamans more of a possible tanking class. I mean what other class uses shields but can’t tank?

Alt Tab

11 Jan

After getting my druid to level 79 I decided to renew his rested xp to make the last grind less painful. I’m still just hanging away from the raids as I got burnt out on them with Bucktron. It just got to be too much like work.

I then switched back to my shadow priest. He’s now 48.5 and doing great on the meters. I forgot how much fun he is to play as dps only. This will be one of my first toons to be single specced. This is my first experience with the new pug system on anything low level. I’m quite surprised how short que times are to get into older instances. I have been averaging about 6 mins per run.

I am currently looking for shadow priest pluggins that I can’t live without. I will be adding more blog posts… even if its just about what I’m doing.

Pugly

05 Jan

Update: Bingo Card Links Now Work! Also, another card added.

I’ve covered the good side of fast forming pugs with the latest patch…. now time for the ugly side of pugs cross realm.

There has been some bingo cards circulating the wow blogs originally found on the official forums. They explain how crappy pugging can be. (most of these refer to lvl 80 toons)

Bingo card 1

Bingo card 2

Bingo card 3

Bingo Card 4

I have found a few more that should be on these cards…

  1. Tank goes AFK after the first boss in VH for 5 mins.
  2. DPS pally wears all classes of gear (cloth, leather, mail, plate) and has a complete mash-up of stats.
  3. Hunter doesn’t have pet out entire instance
  4. Pally tank exclaims “Pallies aren’t designed for tanking” yet checked the tank box just because its faster.
  5. First time ever tanking.

I’m sure there’s more. I will update when I find more to complain about.

Another issue I have with pugs is that since everyone is cross realm the chances of running into someone again is very slim.  This is an issue because since theres no cross toon reputation issues few bring their “A” game.

Example:

Problem: Loot issues.

Answer:Toons bring their “B” game.

  • The tank can decide to get certain people killed.
  • The healer can not heal people.
  • Cc can grind to a halt (if cc is ever needed).

Cross realm pugs can be a great leveling tool but, can easily turn from good to bad to pugly in the blink of an eye.

Radio Nazi

04 Jan

OK… I’m done with my holiday break… time to get back to work.

It was announced on January 3rd that WCRadio will no longer broadcast in a month’s time. No real explanation is given but I’ve been doing more research into this. Everything to follow is my interpretation of the data given.

It seems WCRadio is getting getting bigger or just changing names. This project has been in the works for over 4 years. Hopefully the shows all transfer over… well almost all of them.

Factionism

22 Dec

Its been announced that Hot Topic now sells World of Warcraft goods. I notice something interesting about the goods spread.. check it out. 11 items total.

  • 5 Alliance products
  • 5 various Blizzard products
  • and only 1 Horde item

This is Factionism at its very worst. In Hot Topic’s defense their store is designed for 14 year olds. As we all know Alliance is all played by 14 year olds.

Young buck

I found something new to listen too when I’m not doing anything important. Its a vent conversation with a younger kid that wants to join a guild. I gotta warn you… its not work friendly nor is it short but, its funny as hell.
