Lo-Quality WoW

I logged in to my warrior with the intent of tweaking my “dps” setup better. Then I made the mistake of checking my achievements for some reason. And I notice I’m very close to getting 130 quests in Borean Tundra, which is the requirement for the Nothing Boring About Borean achievement. I can be so predictable sometimes…

After all the stress from the previous days instances and raids, I just wanted a nice relaxing time tonight. So I logged in and did a few dailies, but as usual, I put myself up in Looking For Group. It’s rather late so I doubt I’d get a 25-man anything but you never know. But after no bites for an hour or two, I remove myself from LFG. And wouldn’t you know it, I get an invite to an instance about 5 minutes later. Weird.

After a long day of raids and PUGs, I just wanted to work on my warrior a bit. And of course, ironically, my guild decides they want to do some runs. But fortunately, our MT is around and I’m really not needed. They still try to convince me but I point out that I’ve been doing runs for hours and was just worn out.

Doing Pick Up Groups (PUGs) requires a certain flexibility and patience. You never quite know what you’ll get. Some will group you with guys who really know what they’re doing, who work well together and with you. Others are so dysfunctional that you just want to pull your hair out, where people just can’t get it together no matter what. Most fall in between the two extremes. And it’s very unusual where I get to experience all three in one night.

I had originally planned on working on my warrior most of the night but those two instances with my hunter took up quite a bit of time, and the beer distracted me. Now on my warrior, it’s the battle of Omen, and it’s a very, very, very bad battle.

Some nights, I just really don’t have any plans. So I log on and figure I’ll do some dailies to build up my gold reserves. And for the heck of it, I put myself in Looking For Group, because you just never know when you’ll get to go somewhere interesting. Well, it wasn’t interesting, but I did get an invite to a Heroic Utgarde Pinnacle.

Lots of posts today. It’s okay, nobody is reading anyway. It’s like talking to my cats except I can pass off typing on the computer as work. I can’t quite do the same when talking to furry creatures that only acknowledge me at dinnertime. They’ve been talking about the class changes coming in 3.1 and while I don’t feel qualified to discuss most of them, I do think the hunter changes need to be looked at.

There’s always a brief sense of disorientation when I switch characters. I also don’t have the best memory, so there’s a minute or two of going “where the heck am I?” Usually followed by “what was I doing?” A quick look at the quest log and I’m off!

I’ll get into my impressions of the changes to the hunter class a bit later, after I’ve had some time to think it through a bit more. I probably should do it for all classes but I haven’t gotten to them all just yet. Oh well. But first off, let’s get into last night’s action.

It’s sort of odd running up my second character through the WotLK content. The focus is so different. The pace is a bit more relaxed, and half the time I only vaguely remembered what my hunter did when doing these quests. Of course, the main irony is that my warrior actually has the Northern Exposure achievement while my hunter has yet to run across one of those rare spawns, and I’ve played him so much more…
