I’m back!

Om nom nom Druid

Om nom nom Druid

Well, it’s been far too long since I posted anything here, and to think, the last post I made said the exact same thing… Oops!

So what the hell have I been doing recently?

Mostly I levelled my Druid to 80, geared it up for Naxx, and have since tanked Naxx 10, 25, and the first few bosses in Ulduar.

There was some fun guild issues, which left us guildless for a while, but a chance run in with a Paladin led to me meeting a whole lot of guys who recently transferred to the server in a guild named Midian. Chances are we will be joining them this week. I’ve been very impressed with the people I’ve run with and I think the guild has a lot of potential, one shotting 4 bosses in Ulduar when 8/10 people hadn’t even set foot in it before is not to be scoffed at.

Druid….

I’ve pretty much stopped playing my Priest now in favour of the Druid, I have a lot more options this way. I’m not quite sure how the Druid came about, I think Alex wanted to level his Shaman, and I levelled with him, and it just went from there really!

Fishing…

I also took up fishing regularly. Odd, I know. I finally managed to catch the Sea Turtle mount yesterday, I’ll be sure to get a screenshot for the next post!

That’s all about WoW for now, but E3 was last week so there’s a whole bunch of news floating about which I’m sure I’ll post about soon.

Slacking

Yes, I have infact failed at posting anything for quite a while. I know… Multiple reasons honestly…

I’ve not really been up to a massive amount of exciting stuff in game at the moment, infact, it goes something like this:

Levelled the Alliance Warrior to 72, got bored. Levelled the Alliance Priest to 71, got bored. Levelled the Alliance Rogue to 64, or something, bored.

Dropped the bombshell on my friends that I was considering heading back over to Horde, it went down surprisingly well. A couple had been considering it themselves, a couple were happy enough wherever, and one of them whined for 10 minutes but ultimately would go along for the ride.

Flaking. It’s what I do best.

So, we’re back over on Horde now. We made a new guild named “Still Alive” – it works on multiple levels. Primarily, yes, we are infact still alive having left the server for a few months. Secondly, it’s all about the cake.

What am I doing on Horde? Well, certainly not going back to 25 man raiding, I don’t think I can handle holding the hands of 15 morons while 10 of us do all the hard work.

I’m currently playing my Paladin, Ainia. I’ve switched her to Protection and am gathering up some gear. A couple of our new friends are levelling up, and are about level 53 at the moment. When they reach 63ish I will play my Rogue some with them so she can get levelled up, and maybe finish off my T0.5.

The other reason why I haven’t really updated much here recently is the fact most of the news kicking about is about Patch 3.1… Exciting times, no? Maybe, but I don’t considering writing blog posts about news that people can find on MMO Champion, or whatever news source they prefer very interesting. If there was some ground breaking piece of information coming out of them, but no… Just the general slew of class changes and boss drops.

Yawn. Until the patch comes out, I will keep up to date as I see fit, but won’t really be writing about it every time a new release comes out on the PTR.

Anyway, on with the gearing up and levelling I suppose!

Just how do you mine for fish?

Firstly, welcome to the new blog. I appreciate this may cause a good deal of confusion, that’s why I put together this entirely fictional and useless Q&A!

What am I doing here?

You could have got here in any number of ways, I’m going to guess you got automagically forwarded from MassDispel.net. You could have also typed in the URL, or searched Google.

What is this place? Where’s the fish?

This is a new blog. I created it as the old domain, MassDispel.net, was virtually irrelevant after the mass re-roll. The fish is a lie.

Mass re-roll? Whatcha talkin’ bout Willis?

After the drama of this previous post, a re-roll took place. We changed from our Horde mains on Kilrogg to new Alliance characters on Argent Dawn.

Previous post? You said this was new!

I imported the posts from MassDispel.net as there might be some information people are still looking for, who knows.

Not me. Now… What’s with the domain name?

Well, I wanted to blog under a banner that didn’t pigeon hole me into a certain topic. Now I have the freedom to blog about what I want, and it won’t matter if I get bored and re-roll again.

How u mien 4 fish?

Dynamite. You heard of strip mining? It’s like strip poker, but sexier.

So what are you doing on Argent Dawn?

Levelling a Warrior named Esti. She’s level 70 at the moment. 

Thanks for answering these fictional questions..

You’re welcome.

So there you have it. Welcome to my new home, where you can expect a good deal of schizophrenic Q&A’s, many rants about whatever is annoying me, and hopefully some useful WoW/MMO related stuff.

Champion of the Frozen Wastes

champfrozenwastes

Tonight, at least, we completed the Champion of the Frozen Wastes achievement. Malygos should have been on the cards for the past 3-4 weeks, however people have been very slack on the uptake. Eventually it took one guy to take the initiative and put together a 10 man run in order to get the tactics organised and finally clear out the start of the WotLK content.

The fight itself was relatively straight forward, we wiped a few times on the first stage getting that sorted, and then breezed through to the third. Once we had the control of the drakes in stage three down it was the home straight.

maly10-2 Very glad to have gotten this done, it did trigger a lot of drama in the guild. Most guilds? They would congratulate you on your achievement and be happy that 10 people put in two and a half hours of wiping and talking tactics to work out how to get the fight clear. Our guild? Well, we got told we were hated, a clique, and told to go die.

Typical.

To be honest I’m beyond caring with the majority of the guild, if they can’t get around the fact we put in our own time off our own backs, under our own steam – then I sure as  hell am not teaching them the encounter.

WTB: New Guild.
