Don't Panic! It's not forever, and I haven't even cancelled my sub.My Guildies also know if they need me they can add my battletag which is in my guild note and I shall log on :)
For the past week or so I have only been playing Diablo 3. This has mostly been to try and get my characters ready for Reaper of Souls and to get my Witch Doctor and Barbarian to 60 (mission accomplished!)
Initially when I started the project I was lamenting the fact that I would not be able to buy Reaper of Souls until after it's release date due to funding issues, but a very kind friend has since bought it for me so all things going well (and as long as the game code arrives today!) I should be able to play it at the same time as everyone else.
Now I've noticed that I don't take as many screenshots on Diablo as I do in WoW, despite some of the graphics being equally stunning - but in a different way.
My current favourite character is no longer my Demon Hunter! (Shock! Horror!) I have been immensely enjoying my Wizard so she may be the first one to try Act V (If I ever finish replaying the quests after I had reset them >.>) I am also looking forward to making a Crusader!
I've not really bothered saving much gear for a Crusader as with the new loot system I've found that my characters have geared up fairly well on their own as they level - however I have saved a couple of Flails, just because they happened to drop!
This is how my ladies look atm:
Even though I have levelled the Witch Doctor and Barbarian to 60, I'm still not overly fond of playing them, the Witch Doctor especially, so they may just sit there and do nothing, not sure yet.
If any of you are thinking of coming back and checking out Diablo and Reaper of Souls I would heartily recommend it as the new loot system is awesome and the gameplay is so much more fun with the new difficulty levels - levelling a new character in Torment 1 at low levels if you have a character at level 60 already is awesome!
I shall be coming back to WoW eventually (and will likely still be logging in for raids) but for now I shall just be playing Diablo! :)
In other news, my very good friend and guidlie Arideen has finally joined both Twitter and the Blogosphere! He has decided to keep from being bored in the coming months he is levelling a characters from scratch on a new server with no heirlooms to try and recapture the initial joys of levelling. He is going to write about it in his blog and chronicle his journey.
You can find him on Twitter under the name @LunaManifestum and you can find his blog over at Arideen's Hunt go give him a follow!
I decided today to stop being slacky and actually finish my Test of Valor (seem as though I was only 370VP off).
So I did my Barrens weekly, then a couple of scenarios. I then made the mistake of queuing for a random Heroic Dungeon.
Why a mistake I hear you ask? Well I'll tell you.
The queue popped, I click to enter and this happens:
Unable to zone in while an encounter is in progress.
Skada: All data has been reset.
Unable to zone in while an encounter is in progress.
[11:44] [I] [Iceward-Aggramar]: hunter get bombs
[11:44] [I] [Aurorasofia]: would if i could actually zone in
Unable to zone in while an encounter is in progress.
Unable to zone in while an encounter is in progress.
[11:44] [I] [Iceward-Aggramar]: GET BOMBS
Unable to zone in while an encounter is in progress.
Unable to zone in while an encounter is in progress.
Unable to zone in while an encounter is in progress.
You leave the group.
You are no longer rested.
[11:45] [G] [Aurorasofia]: god damn retarded system >_< join dungeon queue, queue pop "unable to enter instance while an encounter is in progress", leave group, get deserter T_T
So now I have half an hour until I can queue for another random ANYTHING, because of a trigger happy dungeon groups/game bugs.
On the plus side, it means I now need to actually do my Tiller dailies....
Tiller and August Celestial Dailies later, I finally managed to hand in my Test of Valor quest...only to then remember I need to PvP.
I don't like PvP, I'm not very good at it, and will venture into Alterac Valley every now and again.
With the help of some friends I managed to kill the Alliance Commander in Krasarang Wilds and started queueing for Silversharde Mines and Temple of Kotmogu.
Entered Silvershard which seemed to be going okay for the most part (apart from a Shaman sitting on their mount watching me get spammed by a warrior - yeah I saw you sitting there doing nothing Drajoharaa!). After four losses we finally won! So just one more battleground to go!
I will admit, I have no idea what I'm doing in Temple of Kotmogu so will settle for killing everything with a red name, and 5 battlegrounds later we won one!
So now I just need to farm the Secrets and am one step closer!
