A look back on the x.0 patches

October 5, 2010

World of Warcraft Client Patch “4.0.1″ (10/12/2010?) Patch 4 .0 is right around the corner (next Tuesday by best guesses) and with it comes a whole slew of changes to the game and how things work.  This happens each expansion.  Blizzard uses these patches as a buffer to hopefully limit the “sledge hammer to the [...]

Subtle Debate on my comments system

September 13, 2010

Ok so this isn’t really a new topic, but it is a frustrating one http://www.isheepthings.com/blog/intense-debate-crits-my-website/ http://www.isheepthings.com/blog/intense-debate-swallowed-some-comments/ Several times now ID has desynched with my blog and made commenting …. difficult.  The latest incarnation has made it impossible.  ID’s support group has been helpful in past but its been 3days since I reached out this time and [...]

Drumroll Please…

September 7, 2010

It was nearly two years ago that I made my first blog post here. I was a very very new player — I claimed I’d been playing six months, but I’ll be darned if I can remember the truth of it. I had only managed to level to 32 though, and that seems like it’s [...]

Rhii’s Cataclysm Goals and Progress

August 28, 2010

Rhii is my achievement hunter and collector, so she’s got the most pre-Cata goals of my characters. This is what I’d like to get done with her before then: Master of Arms (FINISHED!) Ambassador (FINISHED! with 100% less Argent Tourney.) 50 Mounts (35/50) 75 Vanity Pets (62/75) Exalted with Oracles (Currently Honored) Exalted with Mag’har [...]

Why are we back to failing on Dreamwalker?

August 26, 2010

Man, I get so frustrated with raiding sometimes. There are good nights, last week we had our “triumphant” first kill of Putricide. I say “triumphant” in quotes because we’d have killed him long ago if people would stop thinking about farming badges and start thinking about killing bosses. But then this week, we wiped on [...]

In which the grouchy old lady caves… to the pressures of needing a cool new toy to play with on her cool new phone

August 25, 2010

I really like long titles. And I really hate admitting that I’m going back on my formerly stated principles, which I staunchly held for… no real reason. So I am ashamed to announce, I have betwittered myself. I couldn’t help it, really, I got a new phone, and it’s just screaming for me to use [...]

Windows Fail

August 23, 2010

This week I upgraded my laptop to Windows 7. Beautiful. 60 FPS in Dal all the time, and my average CPU usage has dropped by about 30%. I’ve never seen my computer run so beautifully. I loved it so much that I talked my boyfriend into doing his too. Fail. Fail. Fail. For some reason, [...]

Goblins, We are an Individual!

August 21, 2010

In the recent turmoil of posts regarding gender and sexism in WoW, I made the pleasant discovery of the ‘mental shaman.  She has a really thought provoking post on the goblin starting area in the beta, and in particular, a quest that exists there in which you kill your cheating ex and their new flame.

Epic Win and Epic Fail – The PuG Rollercoaster

August 9, 2010

I’m going to start with the epic win, since all this fail stuff gets repetitive and depressing after a while. I’ve been leveling my priest pretty hard, and there are two tanks I’ve run more than once with who are always excellent. Courteous, skilled, and just all around good people. I wish I could cross [...]

Five easy ways to make your PuG healer love you (or at least not hate you quite so much)

August 8, 2010

Note: These are intended for leveling pugs, where the tank is not made of Duranium and the DPS only think they do OVER 9000!! and the group actually needs a healer to survive. 1) If you are a tank, don’t tell the healer when they should stop for mana. It’s the healer’s job to watch [...]
