Lo-Quality WoW

As I said in my last post, I had agreed to give the Shaft of Glacial Ice he had won over to our druid tank.  Both of us had a Lupine Longstaff equipped, so all things being equal, it made more sense for him to have it.  Took me awhile to track him down but I did hand it over.

As we head into October, Brewfest hits in Azeroth. And among other things, it marks the fact that we are coming up on the anniversary of when achievements were added to WoW. Why do I remember that? Because when achievements came out, there was a big uproar concerning the What A Long, Strange Trip It’s Been achievement, specifically the ones necessary for the Brewmaster, and even more specifically, the Brew of the Month. Why? Because like myself, many people didn’t join the Brew of the Month club because we thought it was a nice, but unnecessary item and would probably still think that way if there wasn’t an achievement related to it.

Nobody wants my hunter apparently. I usually put myself in for a couple of raids and the heroic daily. So far, I was denied a 10-man Trial of the Crusader since I haven’t been past the first fight (and ironically, I had better gear than everyone else in that raid) and a heroic that apparently couldn’t find five people short of rolling up another account and alt.

Considering all the bad luck I’ve been having with Trial of the Champion with my hunter, I decided to focus on getting dailies done and building my cash reserve. And naturally, I didn’t quite get that far. It was a busy weekend in RL, so by the time I got a chance to get on to Wow, I didn’t always finish my dailies in time. But conversely, I did end up in Ulduar a bit so it was a trade off.

Well, there was no blog yesterday, not because I was lazy or busy. It’s because Microsoft decided to have me frothing at the mouth for a couple of hours. There was a Windows Update that hosed a bunch of computers, including my brand new laptop. It took me 3 hours of troubleshooting and recovery before I was back up and by then I was too tired and pissed off to really play. But I tried to make up for it last night.

Well, Blizzcon happened, and the announcements concerning the next expansion Cataclysm. I know I’m still digesting all the information coming out about it. Sounds very interesting, although the main thing that’s worrying me is the fact that hunter’s will go to a focus based system rather than mana based. I’m not sure how that will work out.

I’ve been distracted by a couple of my xbox 360 games so I generally log in maybe an hour before the regular scheduled raid time. That usually gives me just enough time to make sure I’m stocked up and to run all my argent tournament dailies. Any spare time after that, I then roam around, usually farming cooking ingredients.

Well, this weekend was just a bunch of expenses for my hunter. Some of the expenses were good, those related to newly upgraded equipment. A lot more expenses were bad, primarily from multiple, multiple wipes.

Back when Burning Crusade came out, I went out and bought the regular edition. It was only a few days later that a friend called to say “hey I can get the collector’s edition, did you want one?” Of course I did. But back then, Blizzard didn’t allow you to “upgrade” your account again if you had already converted to BC.

Yup, we went back into Ulduar once more. But first, I logged on a little earlier since I couldn’t quite remember what time the raid was supposed to be. Plus, it takes a few minutes for my computer to “settle down” before I start really playing. Until I do, it’s weird bursts of lag or strange noises from my laptop. In many ways my laptop is like myself, it takes awhile to get itself straightened out after waking up.
