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/
Day 6 - 8 o clock:
Raid o clock \o/
Day 7 - What You Saw Today:
Day 2 - Light:
Day 3 - You Today:
Day 4 - In Motion:
Day 5 - Afternoon:
My apologies for the radio silence over the last week! I have been struck by a rather nasty bug that meant for the most part I didn't feel up to sitting at my computer so I have been mostly cuddled up in my duvet feeling sorry for myself (though occasionally feeling better enough to drag myself to a guild flex raid!)
Suffice to say, I am feeling a whole lot better (and may even manage to keep some food down today \o/) so I shall be back to normal service asap.
The guild bumbled along without me, and Buv led my 10 man group on Wednesday for me (which was super awesome of him!) and they downed Immerseus again! :D Hopefully we can move forward now :)
Flex on Thursday and the guild spammed through parts one and two with no problems! The bosses we struggled with before seemed to just all fall over in front of us this week and we were ready to try The Underhold last night.
I was a bit nervous as I hadn't managed to look up any tactics through the week, but our fantastic guild leader explained everything as we went and the first boss fell quite easily with no deaths.
Spoils of Pandaria caused us a few issues - what a bizarre fight that is! Opening just the right amount of boxes and surviving the mechanics with the group in two separate rooms is an interesting fighting technique. We blew up more than a few times!
We then made our way to Thok the Bloodthirsty (after getting ourselves turned around and running back in the opposite direction ^^)
We didn't quite manage to get him down but we got close! I think we got him down to around 1% at one point, but we didn't quite get there. Hopefully we are going to work on getting some more upgrades for people over the next few days and head back in Tuesday night and get him down!
So how has the week been for the rest of Azeroth while I've been otherwise engaged? :)
Day 28 - 10 o clock:
Not sure what time this was but I'm guessing around 10am after a night on the town...
Day 29 - Gold:
the bank in Shrine
Day 30 - Found:
Hunter challenge tame \o/
So yeah, we headed into the second part of Flex last night, and we actually finished it without any issues!
This surprised me as I'd seen how horrific it could be in LFR and was expecting us to have to at least go back next week and finish some of it.
I even managed to remember to take a couple of kill shots!
Lots of guildies joined us and some very nice loot dropped! I got the bow from Galakras and tier gloves from Nazgrim!
I think the major difference between us zerging through it on Flex and LFR, is that we were all on vent, and so could communicate a lot easier (or share my ever growing frustration at things killing my pet on the Dark Shaman fight!)
One of our guildies even videoed our Nazgrim kill (one shot baby, Gamon Will Save Us!!)
So if any of you are sitting on the fence regarding Flex, not sure what people will get out of it, just look at it as a specialist LFR, but with people you like, and your own comms to make it so much easier!
We have much the same people showing up to our Flex raids, but we have people popping in and out as they need to, and even a few old guildies from SWC join us!
All in all, I think that Blizzard have got a monumental hit as far as Flex raiding is concerned and I can't wait to see what else it brings in the future!
