Get my butt back into gear!

If there was an achievement for spending the most time in a major city, I’d be the first to have it.
The thing is, I love this game, as you all know, but I just spend so much time sitting in a major city doing ABSOLUTELY nothing. I like to PvP and I would also like to be level 80 sometime… this year (hopefully), so I don’t really understand why I won’t just get up and do something

I made a list of reasons that might be why I don’t do much when I’m logged in:

1. I hate to quest. Therefore, by sitting in Ironforge or Shatt I can avoid questing and pretend I am doing something, such as checking my auctions.

2. I enjoy the scenery? Well this one might sound RIDICULOUS, but it is true!

3. I like to be ready for everything, in case something really important comes up! If I am in a major city I have access at all the things I need. (reagents, pots etc.)

4. I like to make fun of the trade chat? No, that definitely isn’t one. I turn my trade chat off to avoid as many Chuck Norris jokes as possible.

5. IM LAZY! Plain and simple, I don’t do anything until it absolutely needs to be done.

Well, that list was kind of sad, I know. But I think we got somewhere with it… you know… at the end… with number 5.

I’m Lazy.

WOW, I’m glad I got that off my chest, whew

Hmmm, maybe this is something I should work on. Why play the game if all I am doing is building up my /played hours. I just don’t have the motivation to level or to do anything at this point. You would think that I would have been all excited with Lich King and I was for a couple days… but then it wore off. The reality of having to level 10 more times hit me. /sigh.

I need something to get me going, something that will get my butt back into gear, I want to so something, just I can’t seem to…

Is anyone else out there having similar issues?

In line for Lich!

I didn’t really get a chance to post about my line for Lich experience on Wednesday night so I thought I would say a little something about it today.

The thing is, I only just started to play when Burning Crusade came out, so really I had never done the whole waiting in line thing before. I had no idea how many people to expect, I mean was I suppose to be there hours in advance or was being there a few minutes before it opened okay?  The whole thing was new to me.

We decided to leave here about 45 minutes before midnight, which was pretty good as when we arrived, there were about 70 people in line. When we parked the car in front of Future Shop, I was so excited. I wanted to see face to face some of the other people that enjoyed the same things that I do. So, we left the car and walked towards the line.

It was crazy, I am pretty sure that I have never heard that much WoW talk in my entire life. Everywhere you turned things were WoW related, whether it be PvP, farming or about the raid they did last night, everything was related to the game.

GASP!

There it was, a death knight! That’s right, about 15 minutes before Lich was in my hand, a death knight shows up. Clearly, being the only person dressed up in about the 100 people standing there, he did win the prize and the ticket to the front of the line, so I knew that I would have to wait for my copy.

It was 5 minutes before midnight and everyone was excited, I could here the plans of people staying up all night around me. Finally they opened the doors and let us in! I rushed towards the big cart filled with games, and quickly grabbed the three I needed, then waited in line.

Of course, they couldn’t let us in before midnight, so they tortured us with Lich in our hands and the cashes ready to go, but we had to wait….(tick tock tick tock)

Finally it was midnight and everyone cheered and they started to ring us threw, one by one. After a couple minutes it was our turn, we walked to the girl at the cash and handed her our three copies. She rang them through, handed them back to us and to my surprise… we got a surprise 

I got me a hat!….with a large explaimation mark on it.  WOOT!

Ohh the whole thing was awesome! We drove home and quickly installed the game. Unfortunately, I had school the next day so I didn’t really get to play but I knew that when I came home from school that my pretty little druid would be waiting, ready for a level!

I’m going insane…

All my guildies know that i am a slow leveler, so they were all shocked when i did hit 71! Slowly but surely i am making my way to 72… i mean it did take me almost 2 years to hit 70 I am hoping that the next 10 will go a little bit faster.

I hate questing, that probably has something to do with why I am so slow. I just hate the repitition and how, no matter how many quests I do, I don’t seem to level fast enough. All I know is that I am only 71 and my fingers are already starting to cramp, I feel like my brains are turning to mush as I do quest after quest like a Blizzard zombie. The thought of more quests are making my stomach turn and I’m only a tenth of the way there!

HELP ME!

How do i keep on track? I feel like I’m going insane!

It’s here!

I’ve got the fantastic blue and white box sitting right next to me! It is… almost installed (i hope). Unfortunatly, unlike everyone else who took the day off to play, i have to go to school. But see, i thought about it, I will really only be sitting there thinking about WoW the entire day, until my final bell rings at 2:25. So really if i am going to be thinking about it all day, and not really paying attention in class, well then i might as well stay home, right? Try telling that to my parents…

Have an awsome day with WOLK everyone!

I’m on my way!

There is officially 1 hour and 27 minutes until i have the WOLK in my hands… the thought brings tears to my eyes.  Well, I’m on my way to my local Future Shop to get my Lich on. Hope everyone gets there hands on the new Expac as soon as i do.

 I wish you all the best.

Arena is ‘Broken’

Alright, so it may have been a while since I last posted… It’s not that I didn’t want to because I totally did, but you know I have been at school and then that was busy and then of course there was the patch and dreading the patch… then well, the patch actually coming… Anyway, I have just been busy. I am going to get back into my posting regularly. Here I go… /breathe

I’m sure that some of you have noticed how messed-up arena has been since the patch. I mean, I am an arena loving druid who does it all the time, but I have only played a few games since the patch came out. Before the patch, ret pallys weren’t really a problem With my team make-up it was usually pretty easy to win against any ret pally team. I just thought that the Pally class was a lot more viable in arena as holy. But you know, everyone has a class they like and a way they like to play so if ret was your class then I guess it did kinda suck. Much like feral druids did in the arena, I suppose.
There is a Ret Pally in my guild. He is a PvP kind o’ guy, so that’s what he spent most of his playing time doing. Unfortunately, he felt that pallys in arena were broken. Well not pallys, just ret pallys. The thing is ,I don’t think I really understood what he meant by ‘broken’. I am a resto druid after all and the first thing a lot of people say when they think resto druid and arena is OP. Unfortunately, this ret pally left for Warhammar. I know that you should play whatever you enjoy the most, but I knew eventually they would fix whatever was‘broken’ with the paladin and that exactly what they did with this patch. Maybe even a little more.

Now I feel like I understand what he meant by ‘broken’.  I am usually a go into an arena, win some, lose some, but in the end come out with a decent winning record. Not now. I think the arena is well… ‘broken’. They may have gone a little overboard with Retribution now. They are crazy-damage-doers and really hard to kill. The arena scene is all messed-up with those holy maniacs coming from all directions. I am totally not against the class getting a little boost, I have heard enough times that they are under-represented in arena to know that they could use a little help, but maybe they went a tad far

Oh well. I’m sure that they will fix this aspect of the game soon enough and until then, I will keep my fingers crossed that Rorik will get back into his WoW account and kick some butt with his ret Pally.

I love WoW

“Thank you… I really… I never expected this. I would like to thank all my fans out there; Justamom, Krystofar, everyone that ever believed in me. Most of all thank Nya,  I would never have got where I am today, without him.” (/wipes the tear from her cheek)

That’s right, I am (/hold in the excitement) an official Brutal Helm wearing resto druid!!! Last night, after about 10 games, Nya and I managed to reach the 1700 mark once again. This time I had enough points AND personal rating to get it.

I gemmed it up, enchanted it all, and I am super-excited to get arena-ing with these new pieces. /Cheer for Guardian Boots and Brutal Helm! (/drool)

I LOVE WOW
/hug
Siarah

p.s. On a more serious note, I’d like to dedicate this victory to Nya, not just because he is my arena partner, but because he is a RL firefighter/paramedic who spent days going through the rubble of the World trade Center looking for survivors.

C’mon Blizz…

Today, I am going to complain.

As much as I love arena, playing WoW, and basically everything about it, I
have found something to complain about.

Imagine yourself in an arena match; you are against a resto-druid/warrior
team. You are a resto druid who is at full mana and your partner, a warlock,
has drained the opposing druid’s mana… all of it. You are at full health
and so it your partner, while the other team is at half health.

So, your team is full health AND mana. The other team is HALF health and NO
mana. Things are looking pretty darn good for you. Your lock dots everything
up as you begin to wait for their health bars to slowly move down….

CRASH

Your winning match has been disconnected. The arena server is down and the
match you have been in for the last 10 minutes is completely gone. Hmm… I am
so frustrated with this, I mean its one thing to happen once in a while, but
it happens usually at least once a day.

C’mon Blizz, you are getting paid good money with all the monthly fees; the
least you could do is fix this for me Blizz, would ya?

WoW-Geek moment

Today, I thought I would share with you my official WoW-geek moment of the week (hopefully, it won’t get any worse).

Yesterday morning I sat in Civics class as I do every morning, but see, I was especially tired. It was 8:30 on a Monday. So, I sat in class listening to the political discussion my teacher had started, waiting for the period to end. Finally, after about 1 hour of her talking she finally decided we had had enough. She gave us a paper to write and it was to be handed in at the end of the period, leaving me with 30 minutes to write it. Great.

I worked as well as I could and managed to finish it just in time. The bell rang, I was expected in my second period science class, but I decided to take the extra couple minutes and read over my work.
I sat in my seat as my eyes scanned over my paper, I didn’t notice any mistakes as I was approaching the end. I walked over towards the teacher and was just about ready to hand over the paper when ‘OMG I DIDN’T JUST DO THAT’ ran through my head.

I quickly took the paper back and sat down. I grabbed my eraser and took away my last few words on the page in panic.

‘/hug Siarah’

That is what my paper ended with. That’s right, it was a school paper… one that will be graded for marks and I almost handed it in like it was my daily blog post. /sigh.

Anyway, I know from now on I’ll read EVERYTHING before I hand it in. I can only imagine how big a ‘nut job’ the teacher would have thought I was if I hadn’t of seen it.
Well, maybe there’ll me another WoW geek moment of the week next week.

Decisions, decisions…

I know, I know, I haven’t posted in a while. Unfortunately, my grandfather passed away two weeks ago so I went back to Newfoundland for a week. I arrived back home in time for the first week of school, so new schedule, homework, and a whole lot of time I’d rather being playing WoW ate up some of my blogging time. I am hoping to be back with my daily posts.

Well, I’m not sure I mentioned this but…. my 2s hit 1700!!! See this is the part when I should be screaming with joy, and excitement, with a smile from ear to ear…But there was a slight problem, I didn’t have enough arena points to get anything (/sigh)

See, where I was gone for 5 weeks this summer I had missed out on A LOT of arena points that I could have collected. Unfortunately, I didn’t and that’s what left me almost in tears when I did actually reach 1700. I mean the Brutal Gladiators helm was right at my finger tips, I mean, I could taste it. But nope, my hopes and dreams, CRUSHED.

Now if that wasn’t sad enough, we decided to play some more games to try and get higher. But that was a bad idea, seeing as well, we lost. Our rating slowly moved back down and we are sitting around 1650. /cry

But this week, well this Tuesday, I managed to scrounge up enough arena points to get me a new piece!

Here’s my problem, now that I have the points to get another piece, do I get the chest or do I wait and see if I will get to the 1700 again.

Decisions, decisions… Please help me!
