Hero in a Half Shell

Posted in MMORPG with tags , , on February 26, 2013 by theerivs

turtle-power-38NjsSo I did a little PvP this weekend, but what I’m really doing right now is working on my, and if I’m spelling it wrong I don’t care but the Hujon Pandaren Faction. Why? I want a turtle mount damn it. Ok I admit I like fluff, especially mounts. When I saw a guildie on a turtle, and the turtle went in it shell. I LOVED IT.  I got my tabard, and I’m farming away Heroics in BC, and Wrath. What I noticed is I’m making some killer gold. Like 500 gold a day almost. I was like Whoa. This might be something I do all the time. Better then wasting my honor on daggers, and selling them.

Hopefully I’ll have my turtle today, or tomorrow the latest, so I can go back to banking some more honor. March 5th is coming fast.

Don’t PvP on my Head, and Say it’s Raining

Posted in MMORPG with tags , , on February 19, 2013 by theerivs

hooker-018As the patch 5.2 comes closer I am left with some hard choices. I need to have capped honor, or close enough to it (so when my conquest points convert they will be able to). Now here’s the questions at hand…

1. When is this damn patch coming out? – I hear end of Feb. I hear beginning of March….Depending who you talk to it’s different story. When is Blizz going to give a heads up, or will they?

2. What to do with Dreadful? – Off the bat I probably can’t afford all Malevolent gear from Honor. So should I upgrade some of my Dreadful to fill in the gaps until I can get all Mal gear.

3. What’s going to be the new numbers to aim for in terms of resil, and power? – Things are getting upgraded, so I’m sure I’m going to need bigger numbers everywhere.

I’m a little pissed, I just got decked out in Dreadful, and working on Malevolent….now I got news hey you need ALL new shit. I just wish this game wasn’t so damn gear dependent. I remember the days of old when Skill > Gear….now I’m thinking those days are long gone in WoW.

It Burns When I PvP

Posted in MMORPG with tags , , on February 13, 2013 by theerivs

s-STRIPPERS-largeI love AV Call to Arms. I load up on the honor fast. There are some surprising wins, but this morning it was mostly losses. Alot of it has to do with those damn Bots. For some reason when the bots are out farming some obscure place I don’t really mind. Hell keep those AH prices down. When they are in my BG, messing all that shit up, it drives me insane. Thats why I love the add on Oqueue. To be in a BG with all live players is great.

Well some major changes coming up to PvP in WoW….

Here’s an  article for your enjoyment.

MMO Champion…

 

Decision…decisions is right.  Here’s my plan. I just need the Dreadful Helm, and Dreadful Bracers to complete my set. I’m going to get those this AV CTA, but then the rest of the time I’m going to bank my honor, and try to reach cap. I’m going to also try to get my Conquest points up to get one more Malevolent Piece, so I don’t have an Conquest left that converts to honor. So when 5.2 comes out I can get my weapon I hope, and maybe another piece of Mal.

Summon the Ice Lord!

Posted in MMORPG with tags , , on February 11, 2013 by theerivs

snowThis weekend was filled with PvP fun, and I got some more PvP gear but two events led by my buddy/guildie aka Linax on his pally, or Aurellian on his mage really was the bomb. I’m old school so I’ll still call him Bit which is short for Bitaken, that’s his Armsmens name from the Dark Age of Camelot days…old habits break hard.

Let’s start with I met a bunch of new peeps via Oqueue and we did a 9 man premade for the Call to Arms which was the mines. They we’re a fun bunch of people, and that’s what I like about the Oqueue add on which it brings like minded people together…to crush our opponents. Also did a bunch with my guildies and that was really fun. I love running with my guildies more than anything….it’s what I live for.  

The highlight of the weekend though was two premades we made for  Isle of Conquest, and Alterac Valley. I never did these two BG’s in a premade before, and let me tell you it was an experience.  IoC is not my favorite BG to begin with, but when your in a well organized premade it makes it alot…alot better. Couple things of note is that there are some bots roaming around, and being part of a premade I’m glad it cuts down on this for our side. I saw this pally just following the same path, we kill him, he’d do the same thing over…and over again. It was comical…yet sad.

But the pure highlight of the evening was being part of an AV where we summoned the Ice Lord.  I haven’t seen the Ice Lord since pre BC, and even then it was odd indeed. I think the greatest is when Alliance came to fight Galv, we all came running in to stop them. They we’re probably, “what the hell?”. Then to see the Ice Lord kill, and kill until he reached Vandar was pure awesome, and he got pretty big. In fact I heard he can get bigger then what I saw him.

And to sugar coat this all Bit, aka Linax/Aurellian is getting a little recognition for his leadership skills by the guys who made Oqueue which is purely awesome.

Is using a premade addon like Oqueue, Wrong?

Posted in MMORPG with tags , , on January 17, 2013 by theerivs

SHEEN-WINNING-CHICKSWell if it is wrong, I don’t want to be right….

For those that don’t know Oqueue is an addon that helps people from different servers form a premade and queue up together.  Now mostly the Horde uses it, but the Alliance is catching on, but alot more Alliance are against it the Horde.

There’s was a lengthy post about it on the Blizz Forums…I’m sure there’s more posts about it as well.

5 Reasons I don’t think Premade Addons are Wrong.

5. Not Cheating – It’s actually something you can do on your own, and without the addon, although much much harder. Hell we use to do it in AV as a guild many….many moons ago. Everyone stand at the gate and queue at the same time. That was when we use to win 12 hour AV’s in 10 minutes…ahh the good ole days.

4. No Bots - I’m sick of bots ruining my victories, aren’t you?

3. Like Minded People – I love being grouped with like minded people that want to win.

2. No Lazy People – Any one can run this addon, but it takes a little extra effort….OMG NO!

1. It’s BI-WINNING! – I like to win, and I like gear…, and Charlie Sheen approves of this addon…so STFU!

But don’t come to me with problems come to me with solutions like this…

Excuse me, was that my ass you just handed to me?

Posted in MMORPG with tags , , , on January 10, 2013 by theerivs

cowgirlSo me and my nephew stepped into our first Arenas in the might World of Warcraft. WOW we have a lot of work to do in WoW.  See what I did thar?

Our gear was horrible, we had no clue what we’re doing, and I knew we were going to get our balls bashed in. I still enjoyed my time doing them. It was a great learning experience, and kind of a test of where we stand, and what we will be facing.First match we faced a disc priest, and a DK, the other two matches we’re against a frost mage, and a DK. I was locked out through CC alot of times. Maybe two DPS is the way to go in 2v2. I’m really starting to hate DK’s…ok..ok…hate them more.In the past you got points for just playing in the Arenas, those days are over. You have to actually win these days. So I won’t return until I get some better gear going on. I’ll also have to read up on tactics, strats, and tips.

Like I said even though I got my assed handed to me, it was exciting and fun to mix it up.

There’s no place like home

Posted in MMORPG with tags , on January 9, 2013 by theerivs

So I’m back to World of Warcraft, and despite the fact I really like Guild Wars 2, it just feels good to me…it feels right.

This worries me because am I too engrossed in WoW to like other MMO’s as much as I like WoW, or is it the fact I know this MMO like the back of my hand, as they say better the devil you know, then the devil you don’t.

Though one of the reasons I am back to WoW is my nephew. He’s 20 now, I remember when he was 15, I showed him the wonderful world of Azeroth, and now he’s older and can afford his own subscription he wants to PvP with me and crush our enemies, see them driven before us and hear the lamentation of the women.

What can I say the apple doesn’t fall far from the asshole tree. Still I feel trapped a little in WoW. Will I ever break out of it? Do I really want too?

Just US DPS Here!

Posted in MMORPG with tags , , on December 13, 2012 by theerivs

nurse1So WoW continues to batter the PvP healers which in turn is getting most of us upset. My guildie put a post up on the WoW forums, and it pretty much sums up my feelings as well.  He’s just going to play his Mage. Me I decided to take a little break from WoW. To see how this pans out. Oh I won’t take a too long a break. My nephew started a warrior, and I really want to hit the 2v2 circuit with him. With my nephew the insanity apple does not fall far from the nut tree that’s for sure.

This PvP healing thing now, where the increased battle fatigue has me wondering what is WoW thinking, are they catering to the masses,  are they just winging it and don’t know what the hell they are doing, or is there method to their madness that has not been seen yet.

All I know if they don’t fix matters, all thats going to be left is just DPS….and that’s like being at a sausage fest…no fun for me.

The Death of a PvP Healer

Posted in MMORPG with tags , , on December 4, 2012 by theerivs

nurse-uniform-lingerieSo a fellow Pally PvP Healer posed a question in WoW General Forums.  It’s hard enough playing a healer in PvP, cause everyone beats on you. Now you have to deal with 15% debuff when you get attacked, and less PvP power to do what you need to do. It’s hard enough to find healers on the Horde side in PvP, now with this who the hell would find it being fun?  Before all these nerfs, I could take a hit or two, and keep on ticking. Now I just hop into a BG, and get ready to die alot. I don’t want to think what’s it like in a RBG, or Arena.

Is this a gamebreaker for me, like it may be for my fellow guildie, No. There are other aspects of this game I still enjoy, but lets just say I logged onto my Warrior in GW2 for the first time in a LONG time.

Damn it Jim, I’m a Pally, not a Mathematician

Posted in MMORPG with tags , , on November 29, 2012 by theerivs

So I decided to go back to Holy Spec on my Pally to do some good ole fashioned healing for my Horde brethern. Damn it though what’s with this PvP Power stuff, and I’m hearing stuff from Guildies about some 15% debuff on healing called Battle Fatigue. I don’t know what’s up with that.

It’s just healing is getting more and more complicated, and it’s bumming me out. With Shadow Priests, and Warlock with their constant fearing, don’t they have cool downs. The other classes that have a million tricks up their sleeves, no wonder why we can’t find healers in PvP. Blizz is making it rough indeed.

Well I’m going to give it the college try, and see. I would say if I didn’t like it I would go back to Ret in PvP, but every Pally knows Ret is a big joke in PvP.
