Misanthropy (not dead yet!)

The new LFG-system is brilliant! Tradechat is thinned-out of “LFG any endgame HC” and “lf healer wc, can sumn! good grp!!1″, not to mention the clever system that enables you to teleport back to your questing area. There’s only one problem, and it’s a rather major one. If you aren’t a misanthrope when you begin (which would be a miracle considering trade-chat and previous groups, or you’d be a total newbie) you’ll become one. If you already were, it gives you all the more reason to continue on that track.

Especially hunters. What’s with that? I have met a large amount of hunters who really don’t know WTF they’re doing. Lack of aspects, “pala give wisdom plx” “Erhm?” “viper gives less dps” and of course, the splendid “MB!” coming from a hunter pro-20.

I kind of hope that now, since focus came, hunters will act up more. But then of course, focus won’t stop them from rolling on your staff…

(Sorry for the long hiatus, havn’t had much opportunity to play due to work, but things are getting started again!)

Day 4

Ghostlands… So many things have changed here. I am glad that we are aided by the Forsaken. I had my doubts about them, but at the same time, they share a pain similar to our own. Look at me, writing about this when I have so many things I should be joyous about. My friends among the horde, my studies. It must be this place, and the scourge that are still roaming it. I must get away. My home or not, it makes me remember too much. The arcane energies are vibrating in my fingertips, urging me to use them again. But… That is not something I wish to recall further.

In any way, I had been there for a while when they finally gave me an assignment. They had not asked something of me until noon, perhaps to not bother their guest, but I reassured them it was my duty to help them. They sent me to a small camp, just north of the Farstrider Enclave. The lieutenant, Tomathren, seemed to have lost a fair amount of his rangers, as well as his mind.

Apparently they had problems with trolls, whom I promised to take care of. It came to my knowledge that the Amani re-animate their corpses to create un-living. Mummies. Is not that the same principle as with the scourge? By the light, it is giving me the chills. But, as promised, I did what I had to.

If only I was stronger, so I could prevent this evil from happening, is a thought that often comes to my mind. But I tell myself, that is a path I put behind me years ago, when our kind left for the Dark Portal.

Day 4 (gaming edition)

I confess: I have been slacking off during the weekend, and my gaming time during the weekdays is limited. However, I did get up Engineering on my hunter from 0 to 320, which I guess isn’t that bad. I was always more of a profession-person, over a leveling-one.

Anyhow, I got into some more playing, would be rather embarassing to let her stay on level 14, so close to be able to use the Dungeon Tool. Luckily, after a few arcane barrages and some dead murlocs later, I got to level 15.

Isn’t the water beautiful, by the way? I love what they did to it. I thought it looked a bit like syrup at first though, but opinions change!

I might aswell add that I had to do my first corpserun on Ripe today, too. Poor me, right? Apparently a pull of 1+3 is too much for a glass-cannon to handle. But then again, which class can pre-15? Maybe a paladin or a better mage. Definately not a rogue, anyway…

 

I didn’t use the dungeon tool just yet, though. I’m a bit picky with finishing things off, so I went out to clear up my remaining quests before boosting away in RFC. While in the quite annoying Amani Catacombs I managed to get…

Blink Blink Blink! I almost giggled like a schoolgirl when I got it. Almost, mind you. A good time to go back to Silvermoon and refresh my professions too! What do you think, is Enchanting/Jewelcrafting good professions for a mage?

Anyway, I’ll use the dungeon tool next time, I promise. It’s going to be… interesting.

Day 3 (gaming edition)

I think I’m starting to really like mage. I was always the healer-type, my heart would fill with joy when I pushed buttons and got green numbers all over my screen. I was always the good person. And now? Well, I also have a hunter, so I know decently how to kite, thanks to getting Rhok’Delar at level 69 (in WoTLK, though).

And now I’m blasting scourge-ass before they even get to me! Amazing, isn’t it? It might be the new patch though, I don’t remember mages being this awesome before. Things may actually work between me and this DPS-class.

Day 3

Celebration was in the air. I did not participate much, but I guess it is the thought that matters. I stayed the night in an inn, and to my delight I found that my robes had arrived the next morning.

I somewhat feel naked without this robe. I always have. It is rather torn, and not something I wear in dangerous places, but whenever I was leaving a message to someone, I would wear this robe. Why stop now? Clearly, when speaking to the rangers here, they needed my help.

And clearly, I am not the one to say no to such an offer. I would be delighted to help my kind, once again. Maybe, it would make me feel better about all this mess.

I still cannot believe that they sent me to rest here, of all places. I shall have to write to them, later. For now, Ghostlands is up ahead.

Day 2

Ripey went up to level ten and earned herself a talent point! Guess what I chose as main spec…?

Arcane Barrage for the win!  FWOOOO- *splat*!

There’s also some development from Ripe’s side, who has reached the mage-level 12:

It seems I have found my way back to Eversong woods. They said I looked tired, and sent me “home”. Do they not understand? Dalaran is my home. What is left of my home here are ruins and graves. However, I must confess, my heart felt a little more at ease upon seeing how much they had rebuilt the city, upon hearing the birds, and smelling the food that reminded me of “home”. In fact, I had been so lost in my work, I had not even noticed that Hallow’s End was upon us! Perhaps… Perhaps I shall settle down for a bit and celebrate. It has been such a long time since I was here…   And how I miss them.

Day 1

Wait, arcane missiles? Am I getting that now? What the-   *reads description*  Oh… That’s a change. Hm. Works fine, I guess. It sure made the mage class more interesting, before I just felt it was *cast**cast**cast* *frostnovalol* *blizzardlol* *blink – rinse and repeat*

I love the first levels of the game, especially when you have addons such as bartender. The UI looks so nice and clean compared to my characters on 60+

Anywaaay, screenshotted this at level 8, went up to level 10 before. I’m even on the armory now, yaay!

(“Edited” the guildname since I only signed a chart for someone who asked, Ripe will level guildless)

 

Anyway, off to more grinding, when the game starts to work again that is…
