The time of your life

Something sad happened two weeks ago and triggered a chain of events in my life.

I'm not playing.

Having two thirds more /played in wotlk than overall is bad! About the poll, I say "no" cause I don't think the 340 euro i've spent on just one account (excluding transfers/race change) is worth it, I totally want my money back!

Status update

Well i'd like to say that first of all, I'm pretty much fed up with this game and I rather see myself doing nothing over something.

As a second note I took myself time to level a death knight, which will be meant to tank, getting abit lame to raid one day per week and after know you can't to shit to improve.. But being able to do multiple runs in the same instance is fun, wouldn't mind to have 3 hunters for that.

Tanks seem to be missing all over the place and could that be because it's not that attractive role? or is the that you only need one tank for a 5-man so the competition for certain groups is high so ppl get sick of being turned down? could it be both?

It's expensive to gear two specs, but even if you've done that, you can still just get saved once. Idm thou to roll on "OS" gear, just to have it.. as for now neither of my dps gear is gemmed/enchanted ;P

Been 80 for about... 10 hours played? and im already tanking heroics fine, just sad thou when you have t9 ppl go all out the second you pull, I mean WTH?! So that's quite a challenge still. I can't wait for my gear to get better! I have tons of blackout problems when it comes to new stats comparison :( Never thought a wishlist would be so hard to make, and even worse when you don't know what you can get saved to :S Who's rerolling healer on Azjol-nerub then?

Wow is easy?

Had a discussion with some rookie before that was claiming how easy wow is and such.

Three reasons why some think wow is easy (will be short):
1. easy to get purples
2. content is pugged
3. is just faceroll

There is way more things people argue with but these are the most common, atleast for me. First of all, epic level items isn't as special as it was in vanilla, it will never turn to that point again, CAUSE THAT'S OLD THINKING! Feel free at level 60 to go achieve your purples, I doubt "everyone" will have em, with that you will feel special! Why care about the color of an item? The item doesn't make the player, not even a part of it. Sure you get 2x T9 from voa if you're lucky, and will those item clear toc heroic for you? If they do that, you deserved them, but they ain't a free ticket to pro-ness. The better gear you have the easier it gets to dps/heal/tank, in numbers. The gear won't move you from fire.  "buhu i have greens and outheal epic-geared healer" Then you're better than him (if its not rng/slacking/whatever), and you have the exact same chance to get those purples he have, they didnt magically appear in his inventory.

Is there anything else to add?

Sure, content is pugged, if you say algalon is pugged, it doesnt make a difference. If someone manage to kill something with whoever, they deserve it. It isn't like they teleported there and the boss died with a snap.. A pug doesnt have to be bad, a pug doesnt have to be badly geared, a pug can easily watch a video where someone else killed a boss and then repeat. ITS EASY THAT WAY AND ALWAYS BEEN, IN ANY MMO!

Doesnt matter who kills what, it's the effort that counts. This guy saying "blabla is pugged, blablabla is 5manned", so? read above. The fact is, this guy haven't cleared ulduar nor had 1800+ rating (gogo relentless weps!), you know why? he couldn't decide the reason, but he came up with 2 versions.

1. I was healing better in green items than that epic geared healer. if i get the gear everything will just become easier and then there's nothing more to go for!
2. I dun have good gear in arena so we cant win against better geared comps, and warrior/druid is op and kick our asses.
 Are you for real? Try heal Anub HC p3 if you can't find any challanges, you'll hopefully struggle for a week or so! ;) About arena, I don't have much to say but i've never had gd gear in there.. and i'm doing fine against warriors with t2 wep/justicebringer. Played the rarest comps around aswell, and made progress!

Look in the sidebar, and fyi, we cleared ulduar "AFTER" toc release, doubt it's so easy huh!

To answer the 3rd argument, I can't tell you what classes is just faceroll, but I can assure you I've tried most of em, and i've never played flawless, nor is anyone else doing.

Dunno what more to say, anyone? Feel free to discuss "is wow easy?"

There isn't really happening much around, which means there is nothing to blog about! I play a game called World of Warcraft and I hate it most of the time at this moment.. I just wish it was for single player X(

Playing some Aion on the side of this, but ain't doing much there either. Right now my goal is to proc worthy titanium sword into worthy noble. Would be awesome! Might continue my leveling, which im taking veeery slow (and I enjoy it) it really isn't so far hectic to reach the final level, even thou it sucks right now to be behind a tiny bit, such as now in 3 levels I will enter Abyss (big pvp area or so) and get ganked by 5 levels higher Elyos.

I play a lv22 templar at perento!

Aion

So, I've had my beta key and such for quite some time now but some things I need to make clear:

I haven't even tried it yet.
I missed the char creating on friday.
It's the headstart today, and I don't feel like it. ;)

Yogg-Saron

I must say how interesting it is to stream, the other night we were finishing off as many achievements as possible within the ulduar, but in the end I totally got flamed for being bad after so long time in ulduar.

Some guy joins the chat while we are trying to kill 9 guardians at the same time, and appearantly that is the wrong way to go, "we must kill them one by one else our tanks is gonna die", OBVIOUSLY.. We were going for an achievement, nobody cares about deaths! But sure, you maybe thought that's how we do it, understandable, AT FIRST!

Once we get them down, and trying to do speed achievement, which shouldnt be any problem, but we wipe the first time due to failing only getting one portal phase (shield went down from dots) but half of the raid is now insane, so.. we die. I get explained that you must leave portal room else you will die. Good tip! anyhow we're still not that serious about this run so... After our second attempt everything went fine and once we opened the shield everyone went zergmode, not turning for gaze, neither refilling sanity. Actually it worked ignoring that, but I suppose some did fail since I got explained that I have to turn on gaze and refill sanity, and we're a noob shit guild.

If you are reading this, I just found you hilarious and thanks for the smiles :) Now eat my Death's Demise (did mention it) but it means we killed yogg-saron with 0 keepers and actually were first to do so on the server, so spare me with the flaming X(

Love out,
DT

Need help!

Where to edit the blizzard default textures which is used by some addons, such as recount?

Looking for the Interface/Buttons/

Good morning!

A GM brought one of our members a decent joke this morning;

How many gnomes does it take to paint a wall?

After a quick voa in the morning I feel this day is going to be something... awesome! Even thou we had 0 drops for my account :(

The 10man dps turned out to be (emalon and archavon, i have to update recount :S):









This was without Saronite Razorheads, pet food and flask!

Short update

I want to leave a few words to ya all before I hit the shower..

Voa25 is one of the most hated instances in my opinion and should be removed asap, but well the game is just gettign easier to accomplish with every day that comes. I miss the times when purples actually meant something, I'd like you to armory-check Noms on Azjol-Nerub to see what I mean ;) *NO OFFENSE NOMS <3*

But the new casual-content isn't too easy, since this was my 5th try this week to attempt Koralon, the new voa boss. Basically what I've seen is difficult with this fight is, fire in the middle = unseen, fire breath and a fire patch on his last turn = most likely unavoidable death. Shit happens but we killed him today without much of a hustle, windrunner legs (hunter lootz) dropped and a obv 2x conq rest welfare epics (boes, 5mans etc) won them without, what I think, have done either naxx/ulduar or toc. I could be wrong but recount proved me right atleast, and aswell having a better geared hunter(toc25 gear etc) 2nd with 1-2k dps less.

Avg. dps voa25, 7-8k as MM.

Depressing...

It is depressing how bad pugs are actually, even for 5-mans, nuff said.

Tried out atleast voa10 now, after koralon was dead our time ran out /sigh, so we decided to continue IF we won WG right after. To even WIN wintergrasp by defending is a difficult task and this was the first time I thought wintergrasp fighting was actually fun! We start off by rushing randomly all over the map, and this opens up for the horde to completely ruin 2(?) walls to the west, and we're only having the east workshop in our grasp. Surprised as I was, I saw plenty of people defending our  last wall and relic door, pushing back every siege tank that tried to penetrate the castle. After a few minutes there was aswell almost an entire raid helping out killing the southern towers, making hordes deadline short.

We managed to hold the hordes ground at the west workshop and with avg. 10 demolishers killing every siege tank that crossed the battlefield, it was a beautiful sight! A sudden turn by the horde made us lose the east workshop and they brought down 1/2 walls on the east, in just a few seconds an entire raid had gather on the east side to defend, and with every tank dead and one minute left the victory was ours!

I'm proud of those PuG's (and a few guildies) that stayed around and helped us finish our vault run.

avg. 5-6k dps as MM w/o maximizing in VoA(10 player)

Take care,
DT

XFire stream..

Is up again! So I will occasionally use XFIRE LIVE VIDEO since for now Livestream seem to crash quite often after a while. Fun Fun, time for a Ulduar 10 _PUG_ wonder how it goes, follow me on xfire to see!

Livestream

Thanks for watching, conclusion is; BM sux.

The Beast Within!

The time has come to try out the Beast Mastery tree for once, it's been nerfed plenty of times and nowadays you can't find a single hunter using it!

We are starting out talentwise with 54/13/4 which is a tiny mod of the current FOTM, since I actually need that 1% hit. I'm way too lazy to actually maximize something in this, especially glyphs.

After a few look-arounds Devilsaur seemed to be the FOTM pet, but according to the spreadsheet(91f), Raptor outplays it by 4 dps or so. In this situation I'm also too lazy to actually get myself a devilsaur but thanks to this I can use my raptor, which is named after the +10-whore Raindra. Oh Raindra btw, I'm catching up!

It doesn't seem to show up any groups so I can try BM out, daily heroic turned out fine anyhow, #1 on the dmg meters Mwaahahahaha! Thou instead of a 2k lead, I had about 50-200dps gap. /facepalm

We'll see how this turns out!

Good morning Afr... Azeroth!

New day, wonder what it is to do this day then? :) New poll active and also a tiny "ad" on the right which keeps track of how it is going. I don't really have much to write right now so I'll give an update later this evening.

Over and out,
DT

Will occur this weekend, and maybe some of next week, since I'll have to attend to some important meetings etc *will be travelling*

Trial of the Grand Crusader

I'll make it short;
Northrend beasts down, Jaraxxus down.

I'll have to do some work now, then gn!

Servers down and...

so is my net! or were.. What a pain.. Anyhow we managed to get it working quite late so I went for a powernap instead and 3 hours later I was fit for fight, time to roll rogue! Managed to get level 15 before the maintenance sneaked up and backstabbed me and now following up with a few kidney shots X( *Server went down 03-07* But it's still offline /sigh it's not meant to be us two!

Gd morning,
DT

Server maintenance

First a few changes we'll see in heroic:

Removed due to wall of text ;) There's loads of changes for every boss but what I've read so far won't change the fact they should be oneshots!

Seems interesting and really is a healers fight! No wipes please :S

Second of all, azjol seems to be down until 3pm today, what a sick thing for blizzard to do it is so unfair!!!

update;
Server went up quite early, managed to get Crusader and voa10 for now, will hopefully get into trial of the grand crusader tonight and that will if so be streamed! more info closer to 8pm!

Tuesday, September 1, 2009

Tomorrow!

Incoming heroic mode for trial of the (grand) crusader, will be interesting to see how it will turn out.. Do you have to progress each boss again or do you get everything at once now? Anyhow, in order to achieve the realm first, we are needed to have 0 wipes throughout the entire instance! In normal mode that would've been achieved already, but wonder how hard heroic is really.. In the current conditions we've had way too many guilds clearing it normal mode without that many hardships. Since we are the only guild that have actually cleared ulduar it would hurt in my soul if we lost a feats to some randoms!

I will most probably stream the entire wednesday for those who has the interest, and hopefully, no runtime errors will occur. Watch me troll AH, do dailies, getting into new voa/toc and such already from 11am! It's time to PROGRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!

As an off-note, aion is now downloaded! :):)

See ya tomorrow,
DT

Arena

Since ulduar won ze grand prize in being the most successful instance of WOTLK, I'd like to hear what you think about arena!

If you see the poll to the right, you'll vote for the bracket that every player MUST participate in, in order to achieve gear/titles. If you have any other thoughts, share in a comment on this post!

To be partial I must say they all should be mandatory, and after that calculate avg. rating for GEAR, titles will remain the same, there should only be ONE winner, not sure yet if there should be for every bracket! And aswell for BG's bring back Grand Marshal!

After some thinking, dump the brackets and only have ONE, 3 versus 3. Sure, skirmish 2v2/5v5 w/e but keeping track of three different teams is just a pain, atleast it was for me...And it will be more focus on just one thing, more queues, more opponents, more everything!

I'm coming with another edit now; What if you had a new ranking system, still 3v3, and 1-100, but like it is, 1-30 is glads, 30-50 duelists etc. They should all get their own "bracket" and fight against each other, and it should be impossible to face rank 1 team if you are on a winning streak in lowest bracket. Nr1 duelist will fight last ranked gladiator, if they win, they ascend to a new bracket, and so on! This will work way better when there will only be queueing to 3v3.

This morning...

Woke up around 8am *yawn* first thing to do is grab something to eat and log on at the same time! While in game my first reaction was "WTF" second was like "WTH", I'll explain more about that later *CLIFFHANGER!!!!!!*

Anyhow I went on for dailies like usually and of course I was doing them like a braindead maniac, can't believe I have to do them 3 more days! X( Ah well, I'd really want to get that heirloom sword aswell, so I can begin to level a rogue!

I know someone wants to level with me, pretty please...

I came to the conclusion I have way too many alts, not even half finished! My best progression would be a level 72(?) dkdk, he he. But what am I supposed to do then for 2 days? I'd love some suggestions.

Over and out,
DT

oh my god X(

Stream crashed (runtime error) no idea why, but it crashed on the kill! Sorry that you missed it, but Eladriel won the mount! And ofc, I won the hunter dmg as always! *wink wink*

Just took us a few TERRIBLE tries to kill him a second time. Now there will be no raiding until wednesday! ;(

Live stream sorted!

Hopefully we'll go live in about 5 hours and let me see if my connection can keep up, stay tuned.
 
Yogg-Saron 0 keepers live @ 8pm today!

Watch the channel here!

Wake up call!

By waking up an hour ago, I instantly log on to check how AH is doing, 1,5kish gold richer, YES! It's getting there, 10,2k earned in 3 days.. Second thing in the new routine is the daily heroic, zerged in 10 minutes.

This new routine is somehow a pain, but if you just join the groups or just do the thing you're supposed to, it isn't really that bad.

Third thing to do right now is icecrown dailies; in order to achieve crusader this is needed. X( And now I'm supposed to do the worst thing I know with WOTLK... JOUSTING!


So i'll be back in a few minutes ;)

Alright, the dailies is done time to slack until yogg+0 X) Which I might be streaming, so stick around 20.00!

Take care,
DT

Trial of the Crusader 10man

Pheew, pugged it this week, it's really a taboo to pug on Azjol-nerub, unless you really know what you are getting in to. But we managed to hold up! Rusty leading from me since I normally don't care about other roles than mine, but we worked it out and managed to get a clear and a few +10's. I'm most surprised over Salt and Pepper, since most of the gang were either undergeared or underperforming. I forgot to screen the recount aswell, but imagine some dps below tanks and the 2nd 2k dps below me... Something like that ;) Planestalker Signet dropped, which is quite an upgrade and I won it by rolling 3.

Afterwards I rolled os10 3d, which I actually haven't killed.. Everything went well and he got two-shotted, a guy said on beforehand he was willing to pay 5000g for the mount, sick.. The leader won the roll and actually DECLINED 8000g that was offered, as far as I know the mount is ugly, no achievement and a terrible e-peen.

I, here, had aswell a few k's more dps than the others, which I'm used to due to being this overgeared.. But wth, I enjoy these +10's and a fancy title aswell!

Todays doings... LF PVP

So first thing I see when I log on, is my mail, thousands of expired items from AH, but no worries! I just got undercutted on those : )

I'd like to thank www.tarouwowguides.com for the inspiration to get the gold rolling, I did already know everything he's bringing up, but a guy doing tons of good work on something that's free for all, the fact that I'm not paying $30 to see screenshots/videos of someone having tons of gold, is indeed, inspiring! :-*

Ah well, It's just preperation for new content that's coming, with ulduar I lost 10k+ gold just by being lazy :(

I am now interested in season 7 in order to achieve arena master, and wonder if someone out there would like to join me? :)
It's more on a casual level but I expect quality thou!


Keep in touch,
DT

Best things I know with engineering!

This profession is a pain, some claimed that it's not good enough for PvE, but what the heck, it's their loss!

Hand-Mounted Pyro Rocket: Best glove enchant available, suck on that!

Parachute(Cloak enchant): best cloak enchant is +22 agi, this one is +23... suckers ;)

Nitro Boosts: Rocket boots are just awesome, whatever you're doing! Running from Dalaran AH to BANK = win, any PvE situation such as doing tentacles on yogg-saron sprint and win!

Dalaran AH: Best thing I know so far, never actually have to teleport anywhere else!

Wormhole: It takes you right outside ulduar, AND coliseum! Only disadvantage is the cooldown, 4 hours, and don't try teleport "underground" ... not funny.

Jeeves: Forgot something in your bank? bags full when out farming? BANK IT/VENDOR IT!

Saronite Arrow Maker: Hunters best friend, make your own arrows... OH MY GOOOOOD!

That's just a few things with engineering that j'adore!















The infamous underground!

Economy

Oh yeees, I'm trying to get some gold together without doing painful dailies which I need to do in order to become a crusader, but I don't feel like it! Gold is just really fun to have, you can spend it whenever and on whatever you want, or it's a stock up for repairs/flasks/enchants and such. But I'm just really gathering for further content, so I won't have any trouble at all.

So.. How can you earn gold without doing anything in particular? I don't really know, auction house isn't really my game, but well trying it out now lately with selling all leftovers I've had such as enchanting mats, gems, bars, leather... These things have been gathered throughout WOTLK and nothing I've grinded on a daily basis, I'm too lazy!

I'm aswell vendoring banked items, which I doubt I'll use at all.

so far 2000 gold richer in less than an hour!

Invites begin in 5 minutes...

Yesterday we actually managed to clear entire Trial of the Crusader in about 20 minutes or less, afterwards we headed for ulduar which is from tuesday CLEARED! That means no more progress, but we'll probably keep doing alone in the darkness for the mount, which I'm not really so interested in. I am an engineer so it would actually suit me more than well.

Everything but Yogg-Saron, Iron Council, General Vesax and Algalon died yesterday aswell. We'll see what's happening today and hopefully it's a clear so we can relax after the weekend, maybe do a few dailies, get to level up a rogue or so!

I'll be updating with pictures from todays raid frequently in this post, just for the lols.

oh darn gotta go buy myself some flasks! BRB






expensive today :S

Welcome to The Hunter's Reach or well... hai!

Time for a reboot for my blogging..

We'll start out to describe the 3 W's, which is Why, Who and ... couldn't really think of a third one x.x Anyhow I was once blogging and it seemed to be appreciated even thou the real life caught up with me so I had to take a little brake. Domain expired, coding disappeared in reformats and these blogging sites evolved, eureka!

Why am I blogging? I could answer that question with something hip, but no.. I'll just say I enjoy writing about random things whenever I feel the urge to express myself, this thingy comes in handy!

Who am I, really? That's for you to find out, which you will if you stalk me by clicking the RSS icon to the right : )

How am I to be found? easy.
