Hardcore No More

Sexy_Adult_Womens_Halloween_Costumes_Black_Wet_Look_Madame_Mistress_Dominatrix_Costume_Theme_Party_Outfit_1_LargeMy guild is hardcore PvP. All my guildies are obsessed with RBG’s, and pushing their rating.  Which is awesome, and I got their back whatever they need. Here’s the thing RBG’s to me are like the hardcore raiding of PvP. You need to be available certain time, commit to something, and be there for a big chuck of time. Right now in my life I can’t do that. I don’t have that type of time.

It’s hard for me cause a part of me feels like I’m letting my guild down. I want to do RBG’s, but I am too inconsistent in my schedule, and when they ask me it’s usually when I don’t have much time left to play. I can join random people’s RBG but I feel I really do suck so I don’t want to join a team of people I don’t know, cause they will not me as forgiving as guildies towards my suckitude.

The guild’s grown a lot too, and sometimes when I log in, I don’t see anyone I really know. Lately I just log in, do my Farmville, and maybe work on my Mage’s rep a bit so I can make some new recipes, and then call it a day.Perhaps maybe I’m a little burnt out too on WoW in general, the sucky thing is I don’t have time to play anything else either.

I know I’m an adult now, and I have a lot more things going on in my life, but a part of me misses the days when I was hardcore playing everyday for 4-6 hours a day, just a small part…but a part nonetheless.

Tale of Douchemagery

Posted in MMORPG with tags , , on May 2, 2013 by theerivs

bianca-maxim-100So back in the day of 40 man raids, we had a group of core mages that would run together, this was when I played a mage on Thunderlord, on Alliance side with a guild called Kindred Spirit.

Yes I know I did some time playing Alliance, but is with a bunch of dudes from work at the time, and it was pretty awesome. Hell they use to call me Heatscourge at work, and that was my toons name…pretty awesome name for a mage. amiright?

Anywho we were raiding BWL regularly and one piece of Netherwind kept alluding me. The boots, so when they dropped a fellow mage, Raist (Gee a mage named after the Dragonlance mage in WoW. no one ever sees that, amiright?), well even though I had the DKP to do, instead of passing on the boots, Raist rolled on them, and got them. Bastard didn’t even need it. I wasn’t put out of place, Raist was a friend and we joked about it all the time. We joked about how he stole those boots from me, and he always said he was going to disenchant them in front of me.

Well a year later I saw Raist in the flesh, and we we’re joking around, but I kind of forgot about the boots.  He said, he had something to show me…he logged into WoW on his mage. Went to his bank, pulled out the Netherwind boots, and Disenchanted them in front of me live.

What a douchemage!

I did get him back though, he got real drunk and I wrote on his back in perm marker, “I love PvEnis”

 

So maybe I’m the one full of Douchemagery.

War of the Premade

girlboxerIt seems things are starting to become more and more heated as 5.3 patch in World of Warcraft draws ever nearer. Like this debate…it seems people have chosen sides.  Here’s my problem with the current state of things.

These changes are forcing my friends to be able to play together they need to form RBG teams of various ranks. Which means if I want to play with my friends I have to join the Rat Race that is RBG. Now not that I don’t like RBG’s they are fun and exciting, though to be good at them you need to practice, and have the time to compete with your friends. I just want to see some people online casually group up, and play some random BG’s.

I have a feeling Blizz doesn’t like the add on OQ, and is using a shotgun to squash a mosquito. The sad thing is the people that actually like, and support PvP are the ones hurt, and the ones that maybe queue up every once in a blue moon are the ones that benefit in this situation.

Either way both sides are passionate, and sometimes things get ugly. Here’s the great thing about PvP’ers though, we don’t shy away from fights.

Well my mage hit 90, I’m making some gold again, went from like 100 gold, to 6k in a couple days, and still going strong. Gearing up my mage, Alterac Valley Call to Arms really helped me there. Still haven’t tried Age of Wushu going to try to get to that this weekend if I got time.

Camelot Unchained is almost there…give them some love on Kickstarter.

What is this Douchemagery?

Posted in MMORPG with tags , , on April 24, 2013 by theerivs

thouartI think this is going to be a new column of mine…of all the times I was a Douche….and was up to no good….

I think every mage has opened a portal for some hapless click happy sap to some unknown destination. If you are a mage, and you haven’t, your missing out on a fun aspect of the game.

So back in the days of Vanilla, when I was either in Molten Core, or BWL almost every day of the week, yeah I was hardcore. When you had 40 hardcore nuts raiding with you, sometimes you get a little stir crazy. On this day we we’re finishing Molten Core, and at this point it was pretty routine, and Ragnaros was on farm. I whispered my fellow mages, and we agreed to open all our portals to Darnassus.

So when Rag came down, and loot was handed out, we all opened our ports, and people were clicking away as us mages we’re giggling in our private chat. Then the cries over Vent started.

“You assholes!” …. “WTF!!!” ….” Someone better come get us!”….

All us mages we’re busting out laughing, and I was brought to tears by it.  Let’s just say from then on, our guild looked before they clicked.

Now I’m going to wreck some things

563871_329971053750303_570115100_nMy mage hit 90, and I’m fitting to blow some stuff up….in big time fashion. It’s AV CTA too. Oh shit….it’s on like a pile of neckbones.  I love the mage class, I worked on my Pally more because of utility, Tank, and healers are always needed. My mage is a work of love though. Love because I love blowing things up.

Speaking of Alterac Valley, let me tell you the best things I do in AV. I wait until the Alliance turns the tower, say like Tower Point. I sneak in the tower invisible, and stand in the back of the room. Most of the time, the alliance is standing there watching the door. I pop up in the back of the room, and turn the tower back. When it works….it’s pure awesomeness. I literally almost get a mage boner. I can’t wait to try that a few times tonight.

I converted my justice points, to honor. I had enough honor to get the Mal robe. The rest of my armor is crafted. I am in DIRE need of weapons, and trinkets/rings so I’m going to get those first.

Can’t wait to make some corpse piles…cause Mages didn’t invent corpse piles…we made them better.
