Hope for the Future?

In my last post I practically ranted about my guild’s performance in heroics and what a difference swapping out one person and gaining 1k DPS made in our success.

And the heavens opened and a light shone through. Or something like that. I got a comment from a reader!

Fail? Or no fail?

It has been said before that my guild has issues in heroics. Issues of heroic proportions, one might say.

Issues as in, we still wipe in heroic Nexus.

On Telestra.

We wipe on trash. It’s our motto.

Back into the Vault

After the fiascoes with vault in previous weeks (I got saved to a completed 25-man and two of my guildmates watched gear get ninja-ed), we decided that a guild-led Vault run would be a good idea.

And it was a great idea. Except the first week, the two people that suggested it ran off and PUG-ed it. I expressed my annoyance to one of them, who, to his credit, apologized and mailed an apology to the entire guild along with plans for a scheduled Vault run. I was much less upset after that.

Arena Week 5

Arena: Week 5

Damn that RL™. It gets in the way about me writing about my virtual life. Shame on RL™.

Back on the 9th my partner and I ran our 5th week of arena. We started with a team rating of 1215 and personal ratings each of 1229.

Like usual, we had no skirmishes or practice during the week with the exception of Wintergrasp runs, and those can hardly be compared to arena. You can actually move and react in arena, as opposed to the lagfest that is Wintergrasp.

Arena Week 4

Arena: Week 4

Practiced all week in skirmishes. Really. OK, not a single skirmish. But we thought about it! Just never happened…

Last week we ended with a Team Rating of 1226 and a Personal Rating of 1246 with a run of 6-5.

We only fought 10 of the 11 games, turns out that hiding from a match due to a phone call will net you a forfeit. My partner has apologized profusely for this, it doesn’t bother me at all. We didn’t know and I’m not so hardcore as to say that RL™ can never intrude upon the game.

“You are now saved to this instance” WTF?!

OK, I’m late posting how week 4 of Arena went (I’ll try to post the details tomorrow), but this happened last night and I MUST post it.

Warning: This post may exceed your daily tolerance for QQ.

Tuesday is patch day. It is also the day I get arena points. And it is the day when VoA unlocks for the week.

Huzzah for Tuesdays!
