So yeah, finally got a Hearthstone Beta invite, and have just ragequit after being beat by the Hunter practice deck four times in a row ^^
I shall go back to it eventually, but I quite enjoyed the small taster I have had this morning :D I shall unlock the other practice decks, oh yes!
In WoW related news, I have managed to miss yet another alt appreciation post in relation to priests (but mine is rarely played atm so I'm not too bothered ^^ although, I may make one soon just because she is my second oldest character).
Recently, I have been mostly playing my warrior. Yes, you heard me right, a class taht I've always struggled with and given up on, and do you know what? I'm actually enjoying it! A lot actually!
I've gone from never managed to level a warrior above level 40 to having one currently at level 89! (Granted there may have been some slight cheating in the fact that she was a free level 80 I got from a Scroll of Resurrection when they first came out but shhhhh!)
After some coaching and advice from a guildie (and a fantabulous weapon find - http://www.wowhead.com/item=86523) I am having loads of fun levelling as Arms. Hopefully, she will hit 90 today and then I can gear her up on Lootistics Island (TM by The Godmother) and get her a Prot offspec as well!
Yesterday she jumped from 87 to 89 and had some fun on Darkmoon Island as well
So Happy Hearthstoning to those others lucky enough to be in the Beta and see ya soon! \o/
There seemed to be a mini-explosion in posts regarding the Alliance's role in Mists yesterday!
So firstly, thank you to all those that read mine and left me such nice comments and retweets, here have a dancing Moonkin Hatchling (awww look at the googly eyes!) :)
Seems that we have touched a nerve in a lot of the player base, whether they be Horde or Alliance!
It will be interesting to see which direction the story goes after the Siege of Orgrimmar to say the least! An idea did come up on Twitter courtesy of Marathal:
I think this is a brilliant idea and would be an interesting story to participate in and play out, even if it runs the risk of having a similar consequence for the horde feeling sidelined.
I could see the story working though as I can picture Prince Anduin studying the dark forces to find out how to combat them and it going from there (yes, another corruption story).
In other news, the Closed Beta for Hearthstone has gone live in the US. I've not done a lot of reading up on this but it does look fun. Like many other people last night I spent quite a bit of time camped out on Twitter hoping for a Beta key even if I wouldn't be able to play quite yet. However it wasn't to be so fingers crossed for when it goes live in the EU ^^
In personal WoW news, the baby Warlock has reached Northrend! She looks forward to making the Lich King's forces cower before her. The baby Mage has progressed to Valley of Four Winds and is working her way through the quests quite nicely, and the newly transferred Hunter is gearing up nicely and can now get in to Mogu'shan Vaults!
