Stuck
Man - Blanc can't even fall of a cliff right. lol
Almost didn't make this update... between the new patch 3.3 and my arms aching so from horseback riding yesterday I was worried I wouldn't be able to finish this. But I did, so ... Go me!
Thoughts on the new patch (copies from my LJ):
Good things: they fixed the summoning stones... finally.
The new dungeon PuG finder works well so far. Only used it twice, got one rolling group and one group where the tank rolled too fast and was not keeping track on there the healer (me, on Kitzal) was. To be honest, I'm really surprised I still kept everyone up. Shocked the snot outta me. - Since then, I've pug a bit with Blanc as DPS (I pretty much refuse to tank PuGs anymore, not worth the headache) and within a few days, he had enough emblems to by his next T9 piece. Hoping to have the rest of the T9 tanking set by the end of December.
Bad things: I really dislike what they did to Looking for Raid. It's much harder to use than the old Looking for Group system and they really hid it under the raid tab. Most folks don't even know that it's there. Because of it (or lack there of), you pretty much have to just sit in Dalaran the entire time hoping something comes along in the LookingForGroup Channel (which is a bigger dead zone than GuildRecruitment) or sit in Trade with all the stupid people spamming idiocies. Not an upgrade there. (First thing I usually do when I make a new toon is /leave Trade. >.<)
New Dungeon is fun but hard even on reg mode. Have not yet beat the last encounter of the last new 5-man. Minions of the Fickle Muse has a long running saying about Arthus wishing he'd "Put his HP where his mouth is"... well, he finally did, and... er.... we need better equipment. ^.^;
anyway - that's my 2-cents. Have fun with the new patch guys! For now, short of PuGging random dungeons. It's back into Uldaur to learn Yogg with Hells Angus and Get Muse to their first keeper (Probably Hodir) for me.
I totaly understand why you don’t want to tank PuG’s. >_>
I mean, my tank is only 73 so far but… argh! oÖ
Sometimes i have the feeling, that the skull symbol means “avoid this target the most” on other servers…
But still, the new system is pretty neat, even as a low lvl you get 2 Triumph emblems for doing the first dungeon on a day rnd.
So Tier 9 really is cheap. ô o
You haven’t beaten the last part yet? I blew through that stuff the first day it came out, and I wore a blue dress until YESTERDAY (Appearantly, a month a raiding doesn’t drop you any good dresses. >.>)
LFG has been going damn well for me so far. I tank on my noob droob, and do well. Things are so well, in fact, that unless I’m being social, which slows everyone down while we giggle, a heroic usually takes us 20 minutes. 40 at the most. We’re epic like that. =D
Love the blankies, but you know what you need? A crazy undead warlock… ME! xD
Took us four tries and we had to pull out our uber healer, Asclepius and our guilds top DPS but we did it… in reg. *Not* looking forward to it on Heroic. We just started Uldaur 2 weeks before the patch, but that last dungeon heroic really feels like it’s there for people who are already Uldaur or higher geared. And now with the new dungeons, it’s hard to get people into Ulduar when it’s perceived that it’s “easier” to run the five-mans. Makes me wonder why we even raid at all some days. ~.~
Don’t mind me. It’s late and I’m grumpy ‘cuse poor Blanc’s locked on the loading screen to a dungeons… for the past 15 minutes. I am really not liking this patch’s instability. *grumph*
(Is this sad? I read this (blog and all) last Friday and it has only just now registered…)
Wa-wait you have a LJ!? Thank ELUNE I’m not the only one! For all the people that gripe at me for using LJ, I began to wonder if I was alone then. :<
(Completely unrelated to WoW, sorry)
My friends and I had a good giggle at the "GM signal" XD
