Character burnout(a survivors story).

Level 29 how I hate thee. Level 28 was great, lots of pvp victories and milestones. Lots of NEW and SHINEY. Level 28 was a blink. Level 29... dragged on and on. Level 28 we did WC and never died(our warlock Zujoo is awesome at CC) and got lots of loot. Level 29, we did Razorfen Kraul and died 3 times(our warlock Zujoo sucks at CC) and got 2 greens(one from the escort the goblin quest). Level 28 the allies I ran accross would /salute or /laugh. Level 29 I never even saw the stupid hunter or the rogue, I did see the paladin and his level 70 friend and tried to make them feel bad by not even fighting back, the mage I never saw either. Level 28 I played with smart horde and we won a lot in BG. Level 29 I was told that Having huge zerg fights over the farm was more fun then trying to control anything else.....

I spent most of yesterday planning my Nightelf/Drenai hunter/druid/warrior/rogue/paladin on Etrigg(the server Angharad is on). Zujoo wasn't fun... Zujoo was frustration.

I mentioned this to Wulfa and she said that what she does when this happens is put headphones on and find a quiet spot and grind until it all goes away. Oooo rabbittrail. I am COMPLETELY envious of nightelf druids who have awesome irish/scottish music on their computer, I ended up going to BBB's site over and over and clicking on the music and dancing to Ramblin' Rover with Orclette in my arms.

Anyways, so last night I hunted down a cd-player and some headsets and put Jem in and slaughtered Demons to the tune of "who made up all the rules... we follow them like fools... who are they?... where are they?...". And suddenly DING! It was over. I had Siphon Life(how I love thee). I had a long quest that dragged me all over the map(would have been a LOT shorter but "the coast west of Southshore" does not mean the coast between Southshore and the Arathi Highlands. I killed 11k xp worth of Naga before I looked at the map and slapped myself. At somepoint my brother started downloading WoW for his laptop and life got -really- laggy. So I did not complete the quest. I have both halves of the Tome and am on my way to the Wetlands to kill dragonmaws for some wands I think.

Music. Is. So. Underated. By. Me.

I am going to have to get a good solid solution. Maybe some non-half-broken headsets, and a iPod or something like that instead of an archaic walkman style cdplayer.

Not sure if Wulfa is going to post today or not. We'll pretend I wrote this sunday.

I love how you compare being 28 in WC (lvl 19-25 instance) to being 29 in RFK (27-35 instance)...

In WC, you could just tear through stuff and RFK you would get stuck if your tank wasnt good enough/healer sucked/bad pull.

Anyways, I enjoy your blog... keep writing. And if you would like to check out mine, go to www.dammitgankedagain.blogspot.com

They actually felt very similair. The only major difference for us is Honestbear's Cat(level 17 pet) had a HUGE agro range in RFK.

What I meant was: in WC I seduced/banished/feared safely smartly.

In RFK I broke Wulfa's Ice, I broke MY OWN seduce, I fear-aggroed.

Also because I wasn't familiar with the patrols I marked the wrong mobs a lot.

P.S. I've visited you on occasion boss, just haven't quite gotten around to updating my blog roll again... perhaps today if work slows down even further than it currently is.

P.S.S. Wulfa's gonna kill me when she see's I posted under her and already have 4 comments! Muah! Yay for 3 of them being me!

Jem = grinding love. "They" and "24" sooth the soul. Alternate substitutes based on mood can be:
-Feindflug
-Juno Reactor
-Dune(happy hardcore, not the movie)
-Lacuna Coil/Nightwish medley
-Darude
-Delerium

I played Anarchy Online back in the day, and the biggest grind out there was for mission tokens (assuming you haven't played). The end goal was 1000 of them (1/mission), and you could solo mission grinds at the rate of about 4/afternoon, at which point your brain thought you were in a catatonic state and shut off. Grinding music is key.

P.S.: Love your stuff, I stop by daily now :) Apologies for slower updates on my end.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

There be too much history.

For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...

Guildless.

Me and Wulfa are now guildless. This came as kinda a shock and with no communication from the deciding party. I'm currently looking for a guild for us. We are not "raiders" and will never be. We do research our gear and fights and in general our classes. We are looking for a guild that we can be a part of, chat with, and not be expected to raid or be on specific times. I think that means we're looking for a "social" guild. We are primarily alliance but once finances get squared away(aka my bonus arrives) we could possibly convert to horde. If anyone knows of any guilds that they would recommend please let us know.
