Didn’t catch much…

November 9, 2009

I’M BACK!  Sorry for the hiatus.  I bought a house and well… that tends to eat a lot of time.  Plus WoW has been about as fun as overcooking your macaroni and finding you have nothing left in the house to eat! (true story)

I’ve also been extremely busy around the house.  When I’m not dancing I’m trying to lure kids into the moat, the elementals are very restless.

I’ve checked MMO a couple of times, make sure I didn’t miss anything eventful… and I haven’t.  The PTR has had lots of testing on the bosses.  I’ve read a few abilities here and there but I’m trying to stay away from doing any watching of the events.  I don’t want to burn the bosses down in a week and then have it on farm while we struggle to get hard modes done.  I hope they have a semi high difficulty though, something akin to the bosses in Black Temple (minus Teron Gorefiend).

It looks like they heard our tears… and decided that since they weren’t tears of blood they weren’t worthwhile tears.  They gave our silly t10 a hood.  Now we have a stupid collar and a pray someone likes it thrown in at the last moment hood.  Pictures here.  The problem is the collar is still there!  That was the part we hated.  Adding sparkly lights to a tree stump doesn’t make it a christmas tree!  Srsly… fix that shit yo.

There still aren’t any loot tables in for the bosses which I’m finding odd.  I don’t know why they’d wait so long to put them in.  Even if they wait until the day of the patch it is still going to get data mined and tossed out.  Might as well do it now so peeps can prepare their gear lists!

Exclamation points make me sound angry… and you don’t want to see me angry!

I found Miss Medicina while I was on hiatus, lookin’ for stuff to read and she’s pretty good.  The great thing is that she is constant (fingers crossed).  She recently did a Circle of Healing, a webring of sorts that has generated a ton of feedback.  Great amounts of information in it if you have some free time to take a look at it.

Thanks all you peeps who have stuck around and I’ll get back into the swing of things for ya!

Future Rezzes…

October 29, 2009

I’ve been doing Rez of the Week’s for a bit now… since May (wow, time flies).  When I first started doing them I tried to customize each set of questions for those people.  That was a tough bitch to do.  If I couldn’t think of something funny… there wouldn’t be a weekly rez.  After a few weeks I switched over to the more standard set of questions that you see now.

But does that ask everything you might want to know?

Sometimes I’ll read the Rez and think… is there something I missed?  Was there some extra questions I should have asked?  If there was… I don’t know what the question(s) would have been.

That’s the reason for this post.

Are there any questions you all would like me to ask the weekly rezzes?

I’d REALLY love to include y’alls questions and get more dirt information from them.  Maybe there’s something you are dying to know about an old rez that has been done?  I might be able to pry that info from their cold dead hands (I promise to rez them afterwards though!)


3.3: Priest t10 in HD

October 26, 2009

priestt10HDI’m mostly moved into my house now… by mostly I mean the colors are picked out for most of the rooms and most of the furniture is bought (now I just need it delivered and I don’t have internet until tomorrow).

Figured I’d check MMO this morning when I got to work, get caught up a bit and what do I find?  Some HD versions of the priest gear.  It also has multiple recolors for us.

First thing you do when you get this set (if you are a dwarf) is turn the helm off.  Like most helms for us it clips into the shoulders in an unattractive way.  This outfit also makes me feel very boxy compared to some of our previous, more curvy stuff (read: t5/6).

Now we take a look at the recolors…

GOOD: These are MUCH more priesty in coloring.  I’d have preferred if the dark grey was white but I’ll live (once I turned the helm off).

BAD: I’ve already talked about it once so I’m not gonna rehash the fact that I hate this coloration.  God I hate this color scheme.

MEH: This is still orange and purple… just reversed.  I certainly like it better this way… but not much better.  The purple could have been something else, maybe deeper shades of red and/or some bright yellows.  Just something more lively than this.

HMMM: This is interesting.  I remember looking at our recolored pvp sets and while they looked horrible the colors were interesting.  I think this is a direct link from the pvp sets, maybe trying it out to see our reaction.  I wouldn’t mind wearing it but I definitely think its not going to win a popular vote.  I would want this over the BAD outfit though.

You can tell the BAD outfit is the original mock up since its the only one the orange glow actually matches to.  I’m pretty sure we can plan on this being either the t10 or t10.5.

You heard right?  There is no t10.25.  You have to spend badges to buy t10 and after you get a token drop in Icecrown you trade that piece of t10 and the token drop in for t10.5.

You can find the full HD versions for male and female over at MMO (the image is ginormous!)


IRL destroys tokyo!

October 23, 2009

I closed on my house Wednesday afternoon!  If anyone is selling Treants or water elementals for my moat PST.

Because of this I’ma be taking a bit more time from WoW to deal with the new house and all that fun home owner stuff!  The updates will probably get a bit sporadic but I’ll try to stay on top of important information.

A friend of mine pointed out that WoWHead has some recolored copies of the tier sets.  There is a blue / white version of the priest armor that isn’t to bad.  It still have that horrific helm graphic.  I realize I could just turn the helm off… but I don’t want to have to turn my fucking helm graphic off.  I want it to be awesome (read: t5 / t6 / t7 and to a lesser extent t8).  Especially since the collar like helms look stupid on dwarves.
