Wrong Blog :P

Prof Puke can suck it

2010-01-08T10:45:00.002-06:00

He's not too hard, but with everything that goes on in that encounter, my computer slows to a fucking snails pace. I'd upgrade it, but i'm currently having to repair my car ever otherday cause it's a pile of shit and pissing me off.

Needing to re-gem my gear this weekend as with the proc of my trinket it, i'm over the Armor Pen Cap (meant to talk about this the last time I posted). Need to up my expertise and hit a little bit. Looking for Orange Gems I go!

This diet's killing me slowly.....

New wing opens today, lets see who's up to killing PP in 5 attempts.

Armor Pen cap

Just a quick update. I thought I would be making more updates to this blog but as I start my diet and going back to the gym, I'm finding myself with less time. Should I find time to update, most of my posts with projects will come on the weekend.

Broken car makes for a sad Setzer :(

incoming....

Just the two of us, sleeping at work, 3 days left

2009-08-04T09:35:00.002-05:00

So Dizie and I made it to 2000 rating in 2v2 last night. Pretty nice considering I'm still no where close to completly decked out in pvp gear. Even swapped out a piece last night to help my hit rating. Nevertheless, we have consistantly went up 50 points per week.

I'm sitting here at work, tired as fuck and plan on going to the gym tonight, woot being tired.

3 days til Chicago

Thank you for this week being over

2009-08-02T00:17:00.002-05:00

So I have nothing really big to report about this week. Hit exalted with Zandalar Tribe and Envye and I each recieve a new item from 2maning Magister's Terrace.

She recieved her pet Phoenix and I received my Orb of the Sin'dorei.

What a fucking week. Thank god I'm in Chi-town for my birthday next weekend. A much needed vacation.

Spekkio hits 80, I miss food

2009-07-06T02:18:00.002-05:00

So I hit 80 this morning, like 5:30 this morning. I hit 79 around 2am and every character I level, I hit *9 and won't sleep til I hit cap.

So, I work a 40hr/week job and still hang out with my friends and family. This is a personal best to level a character from 1 to cap. Just over a month, now I can go back to the gym, lulz.

Rogue stealth bug

A really good write up on the bug and it's evolution to the current build of the game.

Couldn't find the effort to level last night, lack of sleep from powerleveling has started to take its toll.

Patch notes, lol @ axes, and I have to poop but can't...

2009-06-19T11:55:00.004-05:00

No I'm not constipated, I'm here working by myself and I have to poop, but if someone comes in, I'm going to be stuck between shit and a hard place.

Ok, my review on the patch notes;After laziness kicked in, I made my rant shorter:

Emblem changes (Moved to the top for importance of ranting):

Ok, Blizzard. We need to have a little chat, we haven't talked in a while, and that's because you were doing such a good job of not fucking up. Rewarding players with items that are comparable with items in the next tier for doing easier content is spoiling the lesser skilled players. It's like giving a Gold Medal from actual Olympics to the retard who trotted his ass along a track in the special Olympics. Why would this frustrate me? Well when you recruit players, you look at their gear. If they have gear that is comparable to other gear that is obtained from a certain difficulty level, the recruit can make the claim that they have the gear to take on certain encounters and play at a certain skill level, but when time comes for them to impress us, they fall flat on their faces, wasting our time, our repair money and decreasing moral.

IMO: Bring back the keys for heroics instances that require the higher reputations, make the nubs run the encounters and give them insight on what they need to do before attempting the harder encounter. This helps not having wasted time in a group that doesn't know what they're doing and wiping 5+ times on the first boss.

# of Attempts vs. Time Attempt Window: I can see why they changed it, but recovering after someone screws up within the first minute, the time limit might be better.

New Battleground: Interesting, yet already see people making templates for their bitching posts that the battleground favors the horde.

New Druid Art: Population of dumb druids increase exponentially cause they "look pretty".

Helping people level with portals, flightpaths, mailboxes. Not really needed, but thank you.

Arena: Thank you for no more "I can get your uber epics for 10000g" threads. Forcing people to do 3v3 and 5v5 is for the better, imo.

Battleground Exp: Won't compare with actual questing, but a cool concept. Not sure if I read it correctly, but would be cool if you could get both honor and exp.

Changes to AB, EotS, and WSG: THANK YOU!!

Mounts: Looks like people complained about running around Ashenvale and Duskwood, I like the changes. Too bad my Pally will be 80 before these go in. Maybe I'll level the lock or hunter next.

Death Knights: LOL, We finally got the hard hitting nerf stick.

Hunters, fucking hunters:

Traps now have separate 30 second cooldown categories: Fire (Immolation Trap, Explosive Trap and Black Arrow), Frost (Freezing Trap, Frost Trap) and Nature (Snake Trap). A hunter can have one trap of each category placed at one time.

It's really a mute point to bitch about hunters. Please the socials and the retarded is Blizzard's slogan by now.

Paladins: Can't tell, but looks like buff.

Rogues: LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL AXES!!LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL AXES!!LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL AXES!!LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL AXES!!LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL AXES!!LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL AXES!!LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL AXES!!LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL AXES!!LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL AXES!!LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL AXES!!

Ugh.....end rant.

Pally to 64 and I still need to find someone with that LW boot pattern out of Ulduar.

sooooooooooooooo tired........

2009-06-16T09:23:00.002-05:00

Ugh, need more sleep. Stayed up til 4am last night leveling Spekkio, well having Dartak run me through Stratholm. I did make it to 58 and halfway to 59. I didn't need to push this hard but the faster I get to 80 the better. I guess I'm done instancing til I get to Northrend. There really isn't any reason why someone can't go from 58 to 68 from grinding the quests in Hellfire, Zangar, Terrokar, and Nagrand. When I leveled my DK, I wasn't able to finish Nagrand before hitting 68.

Questhelper hasn't really helped too much as this is the 6th character I've taken through classic quests and area's. It doesn't become really useful until Northrend. But the mod itself could have been useful back when it was a pain to level your characters in Classic, when leveling was a huge pain.

Still working on something for the site. Also need to figure out how I can display bigger pictures without having them be cut off by the blog border.

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!!

Netflix and pally faceroll

2009-06-15T12:08:00.002-05:00

So I renewed my Netflix account after Lexshue told me that Six String Samurai was on their On Demand page. So in doing this, I also had to renew my XBL account. Those wondering, my XBL name is SETZERLP, all caps. I don't jump on as much as I used due to the fact that I'm addicted to the drug known as WoW. Still haven't seen Saw IV or V so I have those coming first on my DVD list. Should have waited on NF for another couple weeks as I'm trying to get through Smallville series. Currently on season 4.

Spekkio hit 54 last night. I'm steadily leveling, it's not going as fast as I hoped, but that's also because I worked on Saturday.

Nothing new on the WotR front, cept we're still looking for a good resto druid. App damn it.

Can't think of anything else I want to talk about at the moment..... Monday's suck.

Booya!!

2009-06-13T12:42:00.000-05:00

Searing Gorge!! That's what I missed. 51 here I come.

What's on my mind today....

2009-06-13T11:23:00.003-05:00

Not a whole lot. My car magically started working again yesterday, no caution light or alert notifications. I have no clue what's wrong with it, so it's like my own personal game of chance when getting into my car. Hurray for my luck. Too bad I'm stuck working 6 hours. I guess that gives me time to think and blog, lulz.

Made it to 48,49....can't remember, on Spekkio. Bring on the Plaguelands grind. My bane in leveling used to be 30-40, but I think after the changes since classic, 40-50 is worse. I must be missing a zone that I'm not leveling in, cause I'm running out of quests and forced to do the OMGWTFFLIGHTPATH quests, something that looks like this.

That's for 6 quests, and doesn't map out if you have to make a return trip back to the questgiver. I'll figure out what hub I'm missing or maybe it just feels longer cause I'm still without Crusader Strike.

Noticed the blue post the other day about people griping about Wound Poison + Fan of Knifes = AoE Mortal Strike, related to 5v5. While I agree that the ability appears to be OP, most of the high rated comps have a shaman, so drop the cleansing totem and it lasts at most 3 seconds. "But Setzer, they can just put it right back up". FoK costs 50 energy. So let's put it in theroy situtation. Rogue has 100-130 energy (if they store). FoK, wait 3 seconds, FoK. That's 100 energy, with 30 coming back from regen, leaving the rogue with 30-60 Energy. So maybe they will only have one Sinster Strike or one Mutilate to help with a kill. They used the bulk of their energy on trying to keep MS up on all targets in range. Now, that's a bad senario as I wouldn't use two FoK withing 3 seconds of each other. I'd put up one and put more pressure on a kill with the rest of my energy. It's not that big of an issue. Of course, that's just coming from an outsider looking in as I do not have a 5's team and I'm sure it seems more OP as it's frustrating dealing with it.

After I get Spekkio to 80 I plan on doing arena again with Setzer. I might do a couple games here and there, but getting my pally to 80 so I can roll my face across the keyboard is my top priority.

In WotR news, we are now looking for a Resto Druid. Must be high attendance and amaze the shit outta us.

Guess I should do some work.

Angel Sand Demons!!

2009-06-12T09:42:00.002-05:00

That's what the sign read as we went in the theater. Ok it read "Angelsanddemons". I was hoping for an epic Sci-fi in the desert, rather then the movie I had already seen.

Only was able to grind out 2 1/2 levels last night before I felt the urge to sleep.

Lexshue decided to make it into town for our friends birthday. Sucks that he's decided to play his belf priest again. The horde was fun for a whole six months, but I'll be honest. MG horde has alot of drama, and I don't mean just guild/rp/whatever drama. Every pug I was in while I leveled my pally and rogue to 70 in BC, we would have went through 7 people for a 5 man run. Issues varied but it was usually someone not being able to handle a joke, and no they were not from me. When I go on pugs, I usually say nothing or very little. But don't get me wrong, the alliance are almost just as bad. Last three Deadmines runs I've been on, there's been drama right around Sneed's Shreader room. I guess there's an aura of stupidity in that room somewhere and drama ensues.

Mount changes: Awesome and cool, but I'm thinking my pally will be 80 before I see those changes, and this is the last character I plan on leveling up for this expansion, at least at this point.

To our new initates we picked up last night, I don't like you. Not because you're bad players, or annoying. You make me have to tab out and adjust your volume on vent every two minutes.

I would post in more detail about the above, but I think I should do some work while i'm here :P

*Copy and pastes a bunch of chat logs screen shots, crackling histerically*

My memory needs more RAM...

2009-06-11T15:51:00.002-05:00

and by this I mean I need to remember things better. I forgot that it is Myiagi's b-day today and Lexshue/Steel is down for it. Going to see Angels and Demons again for Steel. Hope to be back later.

4 More levels!

2009-06-11T02:38:00.001-05:00

Title says it all, not much to report other then I hit 44 on my pally and will start blasting runners with Hammer of Wrath.

Too tired to come up with something witty.....

Cause I noticed :P

2009-06-10T13:39:00.003-05:00

Yes, this blog as of this post does not have any posts about my rogue or experiences of raiding. I started this during our off raid days. There will be more posts about rogue issues and raiding stories.

In Wrath news, we are looking for a Death Knight who can keep a high attendance and an Elemental Shaman who can pew pew their face off. If you'd like to apply for one of these spots, click here.

And you can always view our news at www.mgwrath.com/.

Stuck at work drinking MtnDew Game Fuel....mmm, I missed you Game Fuel....I should make an animated Gif of Gir drinking Game Fuel (unless someone beats me to it :P).

Still trucking that Rettard Road

2009-06-10T02:01:00.002-05:00

Eh, another day, another four levels. Just reached lvl 40. Plate armor, Seal of Wisdom, and another 40 to go. STV, I still hate you, even with a mount at 30, you're just annoying. Thanks to Satie for running me through SM. Good chunk of exp to start my night out with.

Yay for promo's for WoW. Another free pet just for doing nothing, woot.

IRL news: Car wouldn't start after I got out of work. Didn't do anything on the way there, find it very interesting. Frusterated, but I got to use the company car for a couple days. Did I mention I love my job?

*Yawns* yay sleep

It's not like it was back in the day...

2009-06-09T09:27:00.003-05:00

Many people who play WoW, started playing when a new expansion came out. It doesn't matter if it was Burning Crusade or Wrath of the Lich King, if you leveled your character up after they came out, you didn't know how bad the grind was to become level 60. Let alone some of the abilities you gain so early that you didn't gain before.

Running through STV with a mount at lvl 30, doesn't really make you appricate your mount as much as you would if you had ran back and forth through STV without one, and without the flight point at the Rebel Camp.

Only was able to grind out a couple levels on Spekkio last night, rest of the night was take up by trying to move in a new couch, it's comfy :P

Setzer casts Vanish.............................and it worked

First, possibly the last?

2009-06-08T13:41:00.001-05:00

No no, not a depressing post. I just always have a bad time keeping these things up to date (blogs, journals, etc). I'm going to try to keep this one up to date as it will be about my experiences online playing World of Warcraft as well as some interesting life experiences.
