Thanks guys....I am anxious to get home to play!

Same here! I'm raiding tonight with my guild and hoping for a few piece to drop for my resto shammy!

 

[Pocahottie]

My guild, Mostly Sane was able to do a full clear of BWD and I have to admit that was pretty exciting. Sadly nothing dropped off of Nef for my resto shammy but three other guildies picked up nice pieces of gear. I was almost disappointed that the guild decided to try Nef last night, instead of doing a full clear of BOT but after getting Nef down last night, the guild obviously made the right choice.

Afterwards, the group of us decided we would go look and see what the Fireland raid looked like. Ha! So much for that! Everybody wanted to start clearing trash once we got in, the GM and me included! I'm already half way to friendly (and a new back piece) from the new rep gear. I already can't wait to go home so we can continue on.

We were also very lucky. We had 4 BOE's drop in Firelands and an epic recipe drop for our BS. Sadly none of it was for a healer... It was all plate gear and a beautiful caster staff. The other officers and I decided it should go to our core raid mage who has been raiding with us for a while now and yet seem to have the worst luck with gear drops! He was very appreciative.
Haha!

Anybody else adventure into the Fireland raids last night?

I haven't done any, but my DH is doing them with our guild.

I really only do the dailies. What is driving me nuts are the Horde that keep flagging up and standing on the quest givers or are just flagged up while doing the dailies. I have to be really careful about aoe and tab targeting. At least on KT, I have only seen Horde doing it. It's driving me so nuts, that I am really thinking of changing my belf to a nelf and never doing anything on the Horde side again. That way I won't be as tempted to switch toons to tell the person how pathetic they are.

I just got back from vacation (at WDW of course) with my kids and hubby stayed home this trip. He has been complaining since update that the Horde has been doing this on our server too (Eitrigg).

Both sides seem to be doing it on my server. I love PvP but not when doing dailies. If I wanted that kind of aggravation I'd have rolled on a PvP server.

Speaking of PvP check out this video. Pretty funny. Be sure and watch all the way to the end http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR7FC-h0Fb8

Now that was win!

Tonight I was talking to my friend that change from Ally to Horde. She claims that she has only sees Ally do it. I can't believe her 1. b/c since her changed she really, really hates Ally 2. I do them on 3 toons and my DH does it on 4 and at all times of the day and we only see Horde doing it.

That is one of the great videos out there. I hate pvp while I'm trying to quest, which is why I didn't role on a pvp server. If I want pvp, I'll jump in a bg or do arenas (and I'llnever ever ever again will I do arenas, I have nightmares about them). It was one of the main things I hated about Aion. My DH and I would be questing, a portal would open from the other side, and 20 enemies would be on top of us. Even though I died, it was ok. I have my epic pet with me, so he took out the lock. My pet is a lvl 85 hunter with all epic gear.

 

[Dax]

So WoW peeps, whats going on with everyone?

My NE hunter just recently hit 85...and I have been hitting the heroics pretty hard...and having a good time. My DPS is climbing, and my confidence is as well...

Otherwise, not much else going on...what about everyone else?

Grats on your hunter hitting 85!!

Well my DH and his brother decided we were going to start doing 5 mans. The bil thought that since I had a warrior, I would tank them. My warrior doesn't even have a single tanking item, I refuse to tank anymore. I just won't do it. The bil finished lvl'ing up his druid to tank, which meant that someone else had to play his hunter. Those two geniuses thought, "we have sons that like WoW, they can play". So now I"m stuck doing 5 mans with my bil's bear tank, my DH's resto shammy, me on my mage, and then two hunters that have only played around with WoW but have never done heroics. My DS is 13 and my nephew will turn 10 in a few weeks. Everytime I die, I whisper my DH "I hate you".
Oh, and the best part is that my DH is required to be valor cap'd each week in order to raid with our guild, so that means I get to do this a lot.

 

[Grog]

Grats on 85! I've been playing my Hunter exclusively the last couple of weeks and mostly PvPing. Been doing the Firelands dailies religiously. Unlocked both the Druids and the Wardens and am about halfway to unlocking my first vendor. The vendor I want sells a leatherworking pattern to a 36 slot mining bag that my Hunter can make. Should be a good money maker.

ETA: All these dailies finally got me to exalted with my guild. I now get to ride around Org on my new Scorpion mount that I bought a couple of days ago!

 

[Grog]

I'm working a short day today and don't have to go in until later this morning so was hoping to get a bunch done in game. Now servers are down for three hours so they can finish giving honor to the people who got shafted when they changed PvP sets with the new patch.

At least I was up early enough to get my Firelands dailies done. Made it with 00:45 showing on the server shutdown clock

 

[Desiree]

I'm off work today too. Glad I got those dailies done. I'm actually doing a bit of housecleaning while waiting on everything to come back up. Looking forward to running some heroics across servers with some real id friends!

 

[Grog]

Been quiet here for the past few days. Thought it might be interesting to see some others toons. It doesn't matter if you have half a dozen 85s, or are new to the game and have a single toon at level 10. Feel free to post a link so we can get an idea of who you are in game.

This is my main. He's primarily a PvP toon so that explains the gear. Still a work in progress, hence the missing chants on a few items (plus I still need to replace a couple of pieces from the season 9 to season 10 debacle that happened recently)

[Desiree]

This is my new main, Cordy. I originally intended on having her retribution but got asked to start help heal and I haven't really looked back. Now I only do retrib while doing dailies. Healing is kinda fun now!

Well, I got my 85 paladin epic'ed out and pvp'd a ton then got bored so did everyone else that was playing with us lol. Do any of you guys get burnt out on WoW after awhile?

I started playing RIFT and started a chapter of my guild on the Byriel server (Guardian faction FTW!). It's been fun and I love the pickup raids on all the zone events. It's a nice diversion when I get bored of WoW though feeling like a wow traitor

Also been playing xbox some, assassin's creed brotherhood, child of eden, and dance central

We stopped playing WoW a while to play Aion. There were just some things about the game that I didn't like, so we went back to WoW. My DH is planning on canceling both his accounts when SWTOR comes out. I'm going to keep mine for a while. I don't want to stop playing only to have the same thing happen that happened with Aion.
I did BOT for the first time. I think that's the name of it. It's with one that ends Cho'gall. Well I'm not supposed to raid with my blood pressure and not being able to take naps. We raid from 11:30 PM - 3 AM. Well, I was trying to finish up the last quest I needed to finish up North STV and I got an invite. This guy that was recently back to the game was the RL. I've been in guilds with him before and I've heard him rip someone a new one for not knowing the fights. Well I didn't know the fights b/c I wasn't planning on raiding, but it was one of those things where if I didn't go, they couldn't go. Well my blood pressure went up to 205/131 (which is not good). I had to put an earphone in one ear with Disney music going to try and calm down to get my blood pressure down. My mil (who is a nurse and we are living with so I can take care of her) doesn't want me to raid like that ever again. She's afraid it'll stroke me out. Ugh, I hate telling people I can't go when they are depending on me b/c of my stupid blood pressure.

Ok, when raiding is causing blood pressure issues...maybe it is time to stop..LOL


So here is my new "main" on Elune...I dont raid, just been doing heroics and such..

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/elune/Jaddzia/simple

I have tons of others out there...

Yeah I know. I think it was one of those things where I thought I was out of bp meds, so I haven't taken it in days, and without warning "bam" I'm in a raid with a guy that used to eat anyone that stepped one step out of place. I talked to another guildie today about it and she actually cried when she heard this guy was back. When he's not raiding, he's a good guy. When he's raiding he's like a starved lion and everyone else is the raw meat. I think if I had had warning, it would have been fine. It was just a panic attack thing.

 

[RichieTruxillo]

I agree, when the blood pressure goes up, it's time to go casual on your playtime Games should be an escape from stress, not the reason for it!

I have not preordered SWTOR yet, got enough games as it is. I'm enjoy RIFT, still gotta play through Bastion on XBL and I am in the process of reorganizing my home music studio and recording songs again. Busy busy busy, but hey, maybe when I get closer I'll preorder SWTOR so I can be a Jedi

Oh, I am casual. It's not the raid itself that got my blood pressure up. I've done a few boss fights and not had the same reaction. It was totally b/c of the RL. If you've seen Full Metal Jacket you'll understand what kind of RL he is. He is just like R. Lee Ermey as the drill sergeant. Like I said before, just hearing that he came back to WoW and to the guild, another guild broke down in tears and was so distraught she had to log out of the game for several hours.
We have two CE reserved and then will probably get a couple of regular ones for our DSs.
